STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City received a request to evaluate the intersection of Plymouth Drive and Walker Way for an all-way stop for traffic calming purposes on Plymouth Drive. Staff conducted an evaluation of the intersection using criteria such as traffic volumes, pedestrians, accident history, and other conditions, and determined that the intersection of Plymouth Drive and Walker Way 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 Plymouth Drive and Walker Way 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 near 165 Plymouth Drive to be around 33 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 5. There have also been three reported accidents on Plymouth Drive between Vista Village Drive and Knoll Road in the past five years.

Residen
ts submitted a petition to install an all-way stop at the intersection of Plymouth Drive and Walker Way 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 Plymouth Drive and Walker Way does not meet the quantitative criteria for an all-way stop.
I evalu
ated 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 Plymouth Drive and Walker Way is the most feasible and effective measure to reduce vehicle speeds on Plymouth Drive.

Subject: All-Way Stop at the Intersection of Plymouth Drive & Walker Way Dear OWNER/OCCUPANT:
To improve traffic safety and create a network of complete streets to accommodate all road users, staff evaluated the intersection of Plymouth Drive & Walker Way for an all-way stop. City Staff determined that an all-way stop at the intersection of Plymouth Drive & Walker Way is the most feasible solution to manage speeding along Plymouth 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 December 4, 2024. The proposal will be presented at the City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, 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, January 8, 2025.
