Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. In 1993 the Hughes Heiss Study indicated
that the City needs to conduct a periodic Traffic Safety Audit of signalized and
stop controlled intersections. Staff has prepared a review of the all-way stop
intersections. One intersection appeared to need additional action. The

three way stop intersection. The fourth approach is a private road providing
57O4
Page 6 - CITY OF POWAY - January 9, 1996
access to seven properties. For consistency it is recommended that a stop sign
be installed on this approach.

Bob Bjorkquist, 16460 Martincoit, presented a letter from four owners
objecting to the installation of a stop sign on their private road, stating that
in the 10 years since the 3-way stop was established there have been no accidents
and they do not want their private driveway to appear to be a public road.
Motion by Councilmember Cafagna, seconded by Councilmember Emery to receive and
file the report regarding the all-way stop locations, but not establish an all-
way stop at Martincoit and Rostrata. Motion carried 4-0 with Councilmember
