ll. Financia! Impact:
Minor
III. Re@sons for Recommendations and Background:
At the request of local residents the Board of Supervisors recently authorized the Public Works
Department to Install several traffic control signs and devices on Riverside Drive, Anchor Drive
and M.aritlw—s0ove Drive. These devices were installed in conjunction with the removal of the
temporary traffic barrier on Mariners Cove Drive.
Staff has monitored traffic on these streets and it appears that these devices are working well
and to the satisfaction of the majority of local residents. The Public Works Department is
experiencing a small problem of maintaining the raised traffic bars that were installed to reduce
corner cutting at certain intersections. The traffio bars are being driven, upon and they are
frequently broken and require replacement.
Traffic volumes on these streets have been reduced. However, the reduction in traffic volumes
is primarily due to the school summer vacation and this reduction may be only a temporary one.
Staff will continue to monitor traffic patterns on these streets after school begins this corning
September.
