SUBJECT: ALL -WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF ALTA VISTA DRIVE AND HEATHER DRIVE (W)
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2024- , establishing an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W).
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Traffic: Continue to improve flow of traffic for all forms of travel, reduce congestion, and improve our roads and sidewalks.
PRIOR ACTION: On September 11, 2007, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2007-159, establishing a stop on Heather Drive at its eastbound approach to its easterly intersection with Alta Vista Drive, and a stop on Alta Vista Drive at its northbound approach to its westerly intersection with Heather Drive (Vote 4-0, Campbell did not participate because of a conflict of interest).
PRIOR TRAFFIC COMMISSION ACTION: On October 2, 2024, recommended establishing an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) (Vote: 5-0, Two Vacancies).
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City received a request to evaluate the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) for an all -way stop for traffic calming purposes. Staff conducted an evaluation of the intersection using criteria such as traffic volumes, pedestrians, accident history, and other conditions.
Staff determined that the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive does not meet the quantitative criteria for an all -way stop. Exhibit 2 is the all -way stop evaluation of the intersection.
Residents submitted a petition to install an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) as a traffic calming measure in accordance with the City's Traffic Calming Program. Exhibits 3 and 4 are the petition and petition verification map, which show that a majority of nearby residents are in support of the all -way stop.
Staff collected data that showed the prevailing speeds on Alta Vista Drive near Heather Drive to be around 33 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 5. There have also been two reported accidents on Alta Vista Drive between Civic Center Drive and Heather Drive (W) in the past five years.
The City Traffic Engineer has determined that an all -way stop is the most feasible solution to manage speeding along Alta Vista Drive. Exhibit 6 is a memorandum from the City Traffic Engineer documenting this determination.
ACTION: Approved above recommendation, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2024-175. Vote: 4-0 (Melendez absent)

Interoffice Memorandum -
Date: August 28, 2024
To: Greg Mayer, City Engineer
From: Sam Hasenin, Principal Engineer
Subject: All -Way Stop on Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) Residents submitted a petition to install an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) as a traffic calming measure in accordance with the City's Traffic Calming Program. Staff conducted an evaluation of the intersection using criteria such as traffic volumes, pedestrians, accident history, and other conditions. Staff determined that the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) does not meet the quantitative criteria for an all -way stop.
I evaluated the street segment and I found that based on roadway characteristics, vehicle speeds and accident history, in my engineering judgment and as provided in the City's Traffic Calming Program, an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) is the most feasible and effective measure to reduce vehicle speeds on Alta Vista Drive.

OWNER/OCCUPANT
Subject: All -Way Stop at the Intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) Dear OWNER/OCCUPANT:
To improve traffic safety and create a network of complete streets to accommodate all road users, staff evaluated the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) for an all -way stop. City Staff determined that an all -way stop at the intersection of Alta Vista Drive and Heather Drive (W) is the most feasible solution to manage speeding along Alta Vista Drive. An all -way stop at this intersection requires the approval of the Traffic Commission and City Council.
The proposal was approved by the Traffic Commission on October 2, 2024. The proposal will be presented at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 5:30 pm. This is a public meeting that is open to the public.
The meeting is planned to be held in the City Council Chambers at the Civic Center located at 200 Civic Center Drive. Please check the meeting agenda for further instructions or in case of a change to the meeting format. The meeting agenda will be available on the City's website, www.vista.gov , by Wednesday, November 6, 2024.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
