street); and

Associates to perform a traffic analysis of all three intersections to determine if warrants are met
for installation of All -Way Stop control or Two -Way Stop control, consistent with the guidelines
provided in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; and
WHEREAS, the results of the traffic study indicated that warrants are not met for
All -Way Stop control and Two -Way Stop control at the intersections of East 5'h Street with "E"
Avenue, "F" Avenue, and "G" Avenue based on minimum volume and traffic collision
requirements; and
WHEREAS, at the Traffic Safety Committee meeting on October 11, 2017, staff
presented a traffic collision history provided by the Police Department that indicates several
collisions were caused by a failure to obey the Yield signs; and

approved staff's recommendation for traffic safety enhancements in the neighborhood bounded
by East 4th Street to the north, East 8th Street to the south, Highland Avenue to the east and
"E" Avenue to the west.
