ITEM NO. 3 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Traffic & Transportation Commission Scott Harvey, Traffic/Engineering Technician September 23, 1992 Striping on Front Street South of Rancho California Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic and Transportation Commission recommend Staff re-stripe Front Street south of Rancho California Road to extend the northbound right-turn lane. BACKGROUND: The Traffic and Transportation Commission requested that Staff look into re-striping on Front Street and Moreno Road. Staff field investigated Front Street, south of Rancho California Road, and found that the northbound right-turn lane was relatively short compared to the traffic demand. Also, there have been six accidents in the past 20 months with southbound traffic on Front Street trying to make a left turn at the intersection of Moreno Road with northbound traffic on Front Street traveling adjacent to the curb (see Exhibit "B"). Staff recommends that the northbound right-turn lane on Front Street be extended to the north side of Moreno Road, and that Front Street be striped with a combination "Through" and right-turn lane just south of Moreno Road to help define the traffic flow (see Exhibit "A").
