Explanation
Mrs. Elvia Carbajal, resident of Fairlomas Road, has requested installation of
"Keep Clear" striping at the intersection of Sweetwater Road & Fairlomas Road
to discourage vehicles stopped at the traffic signal at Ring Road (Plaza Bonita,
Mall) from queuing (stacking) through the intersection at Fairlomas Road, thereby
preventing ingress/egress.
Staff confirmed that during afternoon and evening peak periods of shopping
activity at the Plaza Bonita Mall, westbound Sweetwater Road vehicles may
periodically queue through the intersection at Fairlomas Road while waiting to
tum left at the Ring Road traffic signal.
Therefore, staff recommends installation of "Keep Clear" striping with a "Do Not
Block Intersection" sign for westbound traffic at the intersection of Sweetwater
Road & Fairlomas Road to discourage vehicles stopped at the traffic signal at
Ring Road (Plaza Bonita Mall) from queuing through the intersection at
Fairlomas Road.
All work will be completed by the City Public Works Department.
