AGENDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: May 9 , 1983
SUBJECT Installation of NO RIGHT TURN ON RED signs east and
westbound on Amador Valley Boulevard at Donahue Drive
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Draft Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION 1 ) Waive reading and introduce ordinance
2 ) Adopt ordinance on an urgency basis
3 ) Instruct Staff to monitor the installations for
effectiveness and report back in 4 to 6 months
FINANCIAL STATEMENT : Approximately $100 for sign panels and installation
plus cost of traffic review in the future .
DESCRIPTION The City Council at its April 28th meeting directed
Staff to have installed two "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED"
signs east and westbound on Amador Valley Boulevard
at Donahue Drive .
The attached draft ordinance formalizes this action
so that the signs may be enforced.
An alternate solution to one of the signs is to
remove one of the crosswalks across Amador Valley
Boulevard and provide a physical barrier and signs
directing pedestrians to cross the street on the
opposite side of donahue Drive . This is an expensive
alternate and will require some people to cross three
streets when they only wanted to make one crossing.
It is Staff ' s recommendation that an initial heavy
warning and enforcement program be undertaken and
that a later ( say 4-6 months ) traffic analysis be
made to review the effectiveness of the sign
installations .
