RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2023/4529 establishing a stop control on Glen Oak Court (Road 3667CN) at Diablo View Road (Road 3667T), as recommended by the Public Works Director, Lafayette area. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Upon request by a resident for a stop control on Glen Oak Court (at Diablo View Road), Public Works Traffic Engineering Staff initiated an investigation to determine if installation of a stop control could be justified.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Glen Oak Court is currently uncontrolled at its intersection with Diablo View Road, and runs north-south. Wildwood Place, which appears to be a private road, intersects Diablo View Road directly across from the Glen Oak Ct/ Diablo View Rd intersection and continues southward. Wildwood Place (at Diablo View Road) is stop-controlled currently. With only one leg of the minor roads intersecting Diablo View Road at this four-way intersection stop controlled, vehicles approaching the intersection simultaneously may experience confusion and a right of way conflict may arise. Establishment of a stop control on Glen Oak Court at Diablo View Road would reduce conflicts and indecision, improving safety at this intersection. Therefore, we recommend Glen Oak Court be stop controlled at its intersection with Diablo View Road.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Glen Oak Court, at Diablo View Road, shall remain uncontrolled.
