DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF ALL WAY STOP CONTROLS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF CLARK LANE & GOODMAN AVENUE AND CLARK LANE & STANFORD AVENUE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In response to a resident request and subsequent staff referral by the Councilmember for District 4, staff is bringing forward a discussion and possible action for all-way stop ("AWS") controls at the intersection of Clark Lane and Goodman Avenue, and the intersection of Clark Lane and Stanford Avenue, which are adjacent to each other. In accordance with the City Council's policy for AWS requests, staff initiated a survey of residences within 150 feet of each intersection and received insufficient resident support to carry either of the items forward on those grounds. City staff investigated both locations and found no relevant obstructions to sight lines or any documented history of correctable collisions that would warrant the installation of an AWS at either location. Therefore, in accordance with the City Council's policy, neither intersection was brought forward to the Public Works and Sustainability Commission (PW&SC) for consideration. Afterwards, the Councilmember for District 4 made a referral for staff to bring the consideration of AWS controls at both intersections directly to the City Council. Therefore, staff is presenting this item for consideration to the City Council for discussion and possible action.
