`= REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS OR SPEED BUMPS ON PARKCENTER LANE AT
MARICOPA AND AT MONTEREY STREET
RECOMMENDATIONS:
By motion, direct City staff to prepare a warrant study for
Parkcenter Lane at Maricopa and at Monterey Street.
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a letter, dated December 30, 1991, from Mr.
Gary Ross, Management Representative for the Maricopa Community
Association, requesting installation of stop signs or speed bumps
on Parkcenter Lane at Maricopa and at Monterey Street. A copy of
his letter is attached to this report.
Parkcenter Lane, in east Tustin is classified as a local collector
street with design capacity of 10,000 vehicles per day at level of
service "C". It currently carries an estimated 1300 vehicles per
day in the vicinity of the noted area. It is a two lane undivided
roadway with traffic signals at Bryan Avenue and at Tustin Ranch
Road. Both Maricopa and Monterey Street have stop signs at their
intersections with Parkcenter Lane.
DISCUSSION:
The Traffic Engineering Section will conduct a warrant study on
Parkcenter Lane at the specified locations if the City Council so
desires.

As management representative for the above referenced association, the Board of
Directors requested that I write you regarding the traffic situation on
Parkcenter Lane. It appears Parkcenter Lane is used as a shortcut between Tustin
Ranch Road -and Bryan Avenue, crating a speedway. As you are hopefully aware,
there are blind spots when exiting Maricopa making it extremely dangerous for
motorists and pedestrians.
The Association has been turned down in its request for the gating of Parkcenter
Lane, and is therefore, requesting additional patrol by the Tustin Police
Department until stop signs or speed bumps can be installed at Maricopa and
Monterey.
The Maricopa Community Association is very concerned about the safety of the
residents and especially concerned about their children.
Your efforts in solving this problem will be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Cordially,
