Adopt resolution approving installation of stop signs on
Central Parkway at Hibernia Drive
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The cost of installing stop signs and painted legends is
approximately $500. Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street
Maintenance Operating Budget to cover this cost.
DESCRIPTION: The new Dougherty Elementary School which is located at the
northeast comer of Central Parkway and Hibernia Drive, has just opened, and Staff has received a number
of requests for traffic control from the parents of children who cross Central Parkway to go to school.
This intersection currently has two-way stop sign control on Hibernia Drive; traffic on Central Parkway
does not stop. A traffic signal is planned for this intersection; however, the signal installation is a
condition of the Sybase development and will probably not occur for six to nine months, which is most or
all of this school year. For safety reasons, Staff intends that the Central Parkway bridge will be closed
until both the Central/Hibernia and Central/Tassajara signals are installed. The Central/Tassajara signal
will be constructed by Shea Properties (Site 3) and should also be installed in about nine months. Traffic
volumes on Central Parkway are expected to remain low until the bridge is open; however, it would
alleviate some of the parents' concern if the Central Parkway crossing at Hibernia were stop sign
controlled.
The State Traffic Manual specifies that stop signs may be installed as an interim measure at intersections
where signals are warranted. Notice regarding the proposed stop signs has been sent to California
Creekside/Brookside residents, as well as the Archstone and Jefferson Apartment Complexes. Staff
recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving installation of stop signs on Central
Parkway at Hibernia Drive.
