Dear Mayor Edgar and Members of City Council:
JAN 1 41991
ADMINISTRATION
The Tustin Meadows Community Association is hereby formally
requesting that stop signs be installed at the intersection of
Roanoke Avenue and Darsy Circle in Tustin Meadows.
We previously made this request to Mr. Bob Ledendecker and a
warrant study was made. Upon completion of this study, the
request was denied. We then requested stop signs at Roanoke
Avenue and Kingston Avenue and Roanoke Avenue and Hampden Avenue.
These requests were also denied.
Our community has a tremendous traffic problem on Roanoke between
Oxford and Sycamore. Commuters cut through the Meadows to avoid
the intersection of Red Hill and Walnut, and do so at excessive
speeds. A recent traffic survey done on this section of Roanoke
indicated it was carrying twice as many cars per day as it was
intended to carry.
We are very much concerned about the safety of our children. There
have also been accidents involving cars attempting to ex -it side
streets onto Roanoke. With Roanoke being a curving street,
drivers are in some cases unable to see speeding cars. There
should perhaps be some red curbs in some of these areas.
We feel stop signs at Roanoke and Darsy are warranted as much as
those at Brookshire and Glen Arbor and at Canterbury and Sycamore
in Tustin Meadows, as well as those on First Street between Red
Hill and Newport.
We would appreciate having this item agendized for the January 21,
1991 City Council meeting.
Yours truly,
Rex Combs, President
Tustin Meadows Community Association
