Title Name/Topic: Realignment of the intersection of Magnolia/ El Sobrante Background
1. What is the purpose for the request i.e. what you are trying to achieve or do? Magnolia/ El Sobrante intersection is one of the worst in the city because of its closeness to the SB15 Magnolia off-ramp. I would like to right turn in and out on El Sobrante to eliminate the through traffic. Additionally, look at eliminating the left turn into the Shopping center from Magnolia as well, making it right turn and out only.
2. What is the scope of the work you wish to see done?
Have traffic engineering bring back options to see the impacts and benefits of making this change.
3. Does this request align with the City’s Strategic Plan? How? #3 Sound Infrastructure- This intersection has been a thorn for 40 years
4. What is the desired timeline to have the issue considered by Council? Soon
5. Is the issue urgent requiring action before the next priority setting session of Council (Fall Workshop)?
No
