I wrote a letter about a year ago concerning a stopsign at the
corner of Yorba and Amaganset. I was told etsithat
ze oftime
that
ba and
stopsign could not be placed on a street thBecause of all the
because Yorba is a intercity street.
construction over the last year, I have let this issue drop. Now
that constructionn is nearing completion, I am again requesting a
stopsign on Yorba at Amaganset.
Bryan is also an intercity street as wide orover than
Yorba. Yet now
there has been a stopsign at Farmington for year,
there is a signal there. El Camino Real is another wide intercity
street, with a stopsign at Park Center and another at Browning.
Yorba Street has stopsigns at: Santa Clara, Fairhaven, La Veta,
and Palmyra. Walnut Ave going east into Irvine has stopsigns id
at
Myford, Harvard, and The Mall. With all these a
stopsigns
onwi
e
intercity streets there can be no logical argumentagainst stop
sign at Amaganset. We are finally getting amuch needed
signal
on
at
Vandenberg. The crossing blinkers do little
Yorba.
Yorba is still not a major street, extendson y from
Firstet to
Seventeenth Streets. Threre is a stopsignat 3rd
re
Yorba extends to Pacific. There are fifteen streets intersecting
Yorba between Irvine and Vandenberg as well as ten driveways. All
this makes Yorba a local access street and not a major North-South
highway.
The police seldom use radar on Yorba, I haven't seen
themon orba
day
in two or three months. The result; Yorba i araceway every
from 3pm to 7pm. Since there are no left turn lanes on Yorba, and
they are unwanted, Yorba becomes a one lane road during the above
hours._
Please seriously consider this proposal remembering that there is
a school crossing at Amaganset.
