SUBJECT: MAGNOLIA AVENUE AND BRADFIELD AVENUE
STOP SIGN INSTALLATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Traffic and Parking Commission review this report and
support staffs recommendation relative to the installation of a stop sign and pavement
markings on Magnolia Avenue and Bradfield Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
During a field review of Bradfield Avenue, the Director of Public Works /City Engineer
noticed that there was no stop sign at the Tee intersection of Magnolia Avenue and
Bradfield Avenue. Since the location is close to three schools (Mark Twain Elementary,
Rosa Parks Elementary and Lynwood Middle School) engineering staff was directed to
conduct a field inspection of this intersection.
ANALYSIS:
In response to this request staff field checked the location and found that the
intersection of Bradfield Avenue and Magnolia Avenue is a Tee intersection and did not
have a stop sign posted. Following are factual data pertaining to the intersection of
Magnolia Avenue and Bradfield Avenue:

Roadway widths: Magnolia Avenue 36 feet

Due to the proximity of this intersection to 3 schools, Magnolia Avenue and Bradfield
Avenue serve as alternate drop -off routes to Lynwood Middle School and Mark Twain
Elementary. As such vehicle and pedestrian traffic during peak hours can be heavy.
To more clearly designate the right -of -way at this intersection, the installation of stop
sign and pavement markings on westbound Magnolia Avenue at Bradfield Avenue
would be appropriate. The installation of an end marker and red curb (in front of end
marker) on Bradfield Avenue is also recommended for this intersection.
