CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT  Consider Adoption of Resolution No. 2480 - All-Way Stop - gth Street/Fresno Street City Engineer Peters said the intersection of gth Street and Fresno Street is currently a three-legged intersection with a stop sign on the minor approach. The other approach on gth Street is not stop controlled. The speed limit on gth Street is 35-mph and the speed limit on Fresno Street is 25 mph. Due to recent changes at the intersection he and Public Works Director Dominquez prepared a warrant study at the intersection in accordance with the California Manuel on Uniform Traffic Control Devices to determine whether the intersection met the criteria for an all-way stop control. The study was completed and found that due to site distance deficiencies at the intersection mainly parked cars and the outdoor dining structure impair the sight distance for Fresno Street traffic. He isr recommending that Council adopt Resolution No. 2480 converting the intersection of gth Street The Council asked if the owner of Jocy's Restaurant, Mr. Arteaga, was contacted regarding the issue. Public Works Director Dominguez said he did speak with Mr. Arteaga and he did have some concerns.

Councilmember Kazarian asked if a temporary stop sign could be placed on a temporary basis verses permanently.

Discussion/Direction Regarding Circulation Strategies at the State Route 99/Adams Avenue City Engineer Peters said there has been an increase in recent development activity in the vicinity of the Adams Avenue / State Route 99 interchange.

Staff met with Caltrans and explored very preliminary alternatives for circulation improvements at this interchange. He said Caltrans is in support ofthe circulation. He said one alternative is to construct a roundabout at the southbound off-ramp intersection with Adams Avenue the other alternative was identified in a SW area traffic impact study approved by the Council in 2015. Mr. Peters provided the interchange alternatives exhibits for viewing. He said the next step in developing alternatives would be to prepare an interchange and freeway corridor study on State Route 99 between Clovis Avenue and Merced Street as directed by Caltrans.
