RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE INSTALLATION OF MULTIWAY STOP CONTROLS FOR THE
INTERSECTION OF CARNEGIE AVENUE AND BARCOTTA DRIVE -
Staff received a request from an area resident to install
multiway stop controls at the intersection of Carnegie Avenue
and Barcotta Drive. The resident indicated heavy vehicular and
school-age pedestrian congestion at the intersection during
the morning arrival and afternoon school dismissal periods.
Staff conducted an analysis of the intersection and determined
the installation of multiway stop controls will improve the
safety and operation of the intersection.
RECOMMENDED
ACTION: City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the
installation of multiway stop controls for the intersection of
Carnegie Avenue and Barcotta Drive.

RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING NO-STOPPING ANYTIME ZONE ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF
SECO CANYON FRONTAGE ROAD - Staff received a request
from local residents to install a no-stopping anytime zone
along the west side of Seco Canyon Frontage Road between
Decoro Drive and Guadilamar Drive. Residents indicated Seco
Canyon Frontage Road is a narrow street and is often blocked
by parents as they drop off and pick up students at nearby
schools. Residents feel removing parking on one side will
improve safety and circulation, especially during school
drop-off and dismissal times. Based on observation of traffic
conditions in the area and the feedback received from affected
residents, staff determined that removing parking (770 feet)
would enhance operation and safety. Saugus and Hart School
Districts and nearby schools have supported the proposal to
remove parking.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: City Council
adopt a resolution establishing a no-stopping anytime zone
along the west side of Seco Canyon Frontage Road.
