City Council
12A. Council initiated item from Council Member Jim O’Hara regarding direction to
design an ADA compliant 4-way stop sign at the intersection of Saxony and
the North Entrance of the Ecke YMCA (also, Entrance to Scripps Medical
Center). Environmental Considerations: The action being considered by the
City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
because it is not a "project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines.
The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government
that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.
Recommended Action: Direct city staff to create a design for the installation
of an ADA compliant four-way stop sign with cross walks at the North
Entrance of the YMCA to improve traffic safety and flow - include a
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) pedestrian crossing to enhance
visibility and safety for all crossing users. In conjunction, remove the existing
chicanes along Saxony Boulevard.
