TO:
William Huston, City Manager
FROM: Bob Ledendecker, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Placement of Stop Signs at Certain Intersections
Recommendation:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of October 5, 1983, pass and adopt
the attached Resolution designating placement of certain Stop signs at the
following locations:
On Elder Lane at Raintree Road and at Morning Glory Road.
On Pomegranate Road at Morning Glory Road and at Cherrywood Lane.
Background:
Staff received a letter from the Laurelwood Homeowners Associaton regarding
evening rush hour traffic detouring through Laurelwood development. The
Homeowners Association has requested the installation of stop signs on Elder Lane
at Raintree Rd. and at Morning Glory Rd., and on Pomegranate Road at Morning Glory
Rd. and at Cherrywood Lane.
Discussion:
These vehicles which are allegedly detouring through the Laurelwood development
are turning right on Raintree Rd. from westbound Walnut Ave., then left onto Elder
Lane, then left onto Morning Glory Rd., then right onto Pomegranate Rd., and left
onto Cherrywood Lane to Walnut Avenue.
On August 31, 1983 staff recorded the following traffic counts as noted on each
street:

These volumes do not indicate a significant problem with respect to rush hour
traffic. The request for Stop signs is a valid one, and it may help control the
local residential traffic as well as any Walnut Ave. commuter traffic that may
utilize these streets.
The installation of a traffic signal at Walnut Ave. and Cherrywood Lane would
virtually eliminate the detouring of traffic through the residential areas. A
traffic signal would help eliminate the long back-up of westbound traffic on
Walnut Ave. caused by every vehicle being~equired to stop at the stop signs.
Many vehicles could proceed through on the green phase of the signal.
Attached is a Resolution which designates the placement of certain stop signs.
Re stop signs designated in this Resolution are for:
1. Southeastbound Elder Lane at Raintree Road.
2. Northwestbound Elder Lane at Morning Glory Road.
3. Southeastbound Pomegranate Rd. at Morning Glory Road.
4. Northwestbound Pomegranate Rd. at Cherrywood Lane.
These locations are also shown on the attached drawing.
