,TE: JUNE 15, 1992
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT S. LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT - ALMERIA HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION TRAFFIC ISSUES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of June
15, 1992, direct staff to continue to investigate residents'
traffic concerns in the area of the Almeria Development, continue
to coordinate with the Tustin Police Department to possibly
increase enforcement in the area, and coordinate the review of
street signing with the Almeria Homeowners Association.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 1, 1992 City Council meeting, Mr. Howard Mitzman,
President of the Almeria Homeowners Association, requested
assistance to slow traffic through the Almeria Development. The
Almeria Development is located in the Tustin Ranch area of the City
and is accessed by Palermo, Monterey Street, and Burnt Mill Road.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Division staff has previously received similar
requests from residents of the Almeria Development. As a result of
these requests, staff has installed speed limit (25 MPH) signs on
the aforementioned streets that provide access to the Almeria
Development. The speed limit signs were placed in accordance with
the California Vehicle Code and the State Guidelines (Caltrans
Traffic Manual) for signing on public streets. Additionally, staff
previously notified the Tustin Police Department and alerted them
to the concerns expressed by the area residents.
During a field review of the area, it was observed that
unauthorized signs indicating "Slow Watch For Children" have been
installed throughout this area. These signs were not approved for
installation and they are not recommended in the State Guidelines
for public street signing. The unauthorized placement of these
signs may also have the potential of creating liability for the
City in certain cases regarding litigation. If so directed,
Engineering staff will coordinate the review of street signing in
the subject area with the Almeria Homeowners Association.
