RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Traffic Resolution No. 2021/4503 declaring a stop control (two-way) on Grove Avenue (Road No. 0565H) at its intersection with 5th/Fifth Street (Road No. 0565AA), as recommended by the Public Works Director, North Richmond area. (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The intersection of Grove Avenue at 5th/Fifth Street in North Richmond, is currently uncontrolled. Upon request by members of the North Richmond community and the District 1 Supervisor Staff, the County's Public Works Department Traffic Engineering staff initiated an investigation to determine if a two-way stop control of the intersection was warranted. The investigation included an examination of the existing intersection geometry, sight line limitations, collision history, traffic counts, pedestrian usage, as well as any other pertinent factors.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Based on this investigation, it has been determined that a stop control (two-way) on Grove Avenue at its intersection with 5th/Fifth Street is supported by a warrant. Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends that a stop control be declared on Grove Avenue at its intersection with 5th/Fifth Street to enhance the orderly flow of traffic, enhance pedestrian safety, and allow enforcement of the traffic regulation. Fifth Street will remain uncontrolled at this intersection.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The intersection of Grove Avenue and 5th/Fifth Street will remain uncontrolled.
