SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN(S) STUDY AT THE INTERSECTION OF Clark Ln and Stanford Ave
The City of Redondo Beach received your request for all-way stop controls at the intersection of Clark Ln and Stanford Ave. Unfortunately, the City has not received sufficient support from neighbors to initiate an engineering study of the intersection in response to this request.
The City’s current policy for all-way stop control requests requires sufficient neighborhood interest in such a change before an engineering study is initiated to determine whether State standards are met to warrant the change. Typically, the City asks the initiating party to secure adequate signatures on a petition to initiate this study. During the COVID era, however, the City reached out by mail to residences within 150’ radius of the subject intersection to request input (support or opposition) of the proposed all-way stop control. The City policy requires two thirds (66%) of those residents to respond positively (in favor of the study) to the Traffic Engineer by email, call, drop off, US Mail, etc., within 4 weeks.
Notices were sent by US Mail on June 22, 2023 and July 22, 2023 marked the end of the reply period. The Traffic Engineer received 12 notices in favor of initiating the study, which is only 35%.
At this time, the Engineering Services Division considers the matter closed per Traffic Engineering policy. You are welcome to reinitiate the request and seek signatures yourself. We can provide the petition and addresses within 150 feet. Alternatively, the Council Member from your Council District may be interested in taking the matter directly to the City Council for consideration.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact the City’s Traffic Engineering Team at [email protected]
Sincerely,
Andrew S. Winje
City Engineer
