The intersection types include either a four way intersection or a T -intersection. The goal of the effort was to be pro -active in placing stop signs at those locations where appropriate and stopping the road of less importance. This process will be completed over several years as not to impact current budgets. The attached list identifies the intersections that have or will have stop signs installed as a result of this effort. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) Public Works is requesting the BOCC accept the list of stop sign locations as a whole rather than having an individual resolution for each location. We are striving to keep our roadways safe and proper sign controls will help in that effort as well as with the efforts of law enforcement. Recommendation to the Board: I am recommending that the BOCC accept placing the enclosed list of signs on the agenda for official adoption. William F.
