Background In March 1981, the Clty Council adopted a resolution establlshlng guidelines and warrants for the installation of stop slgns in the City of Santa Monica. The warrants are a modified version of the Caltrans stop sign warrants to better reflect street characteristics, traffic volumes and accident rates on City Streets. Staff has analyzed Washlngton Avenue at the major cross streets for four l/Jay stops. Analysis of Washington Avenue was conducted because of the hlgh frequency of citizen complalnts regarding north and south- bound trafflc at Washlngton Avenue, Santa Monlca High School between 7th Street and Lincoln Boulevard, St. Paul's Carden School at the corner of Lincoln Boulevard and Washlngton Avenue~ Lincoln Junlor High School between 14th Street and 16th Street, and Washington Avenue1s strategy location halfway between the signalized intersections at Montana Avenue and Wllshire Boulevard. Staff analysis concludes the installation of 4 way stops on Washlngton Avenue at 4th Street, 7th Street, Lincoln Boulevard, 11th Street, 14th 11-8 AUG 1 1 198' . ~ ~ e . . To: Mayor and City Council -2- Jul y 28, 1981 Street, 17th Street and 20th Street 1S warranted. The cost for the installation of the stop signs and pavement markings is est1mated to be $250.00 per 1ntersection. The annual cost to motorist required to stop where they have not 1n the past is estimated to range between $40,900 and $53,800 per intersection. The annual savings due to accident reductions range between $15,000 and $30,000 per intersection. It is Staff's opinion that the improvement of quality of life on Washingtion Avenue and the major cross streets and the accident reduct10n savings outwe1gh the annual motor vehicle operating costs.
