STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: LEFT TURNS AT COOK STREET AND RIVIERA DRIVE
DATE: December 13, 2001
Recommendation:
Receive and file
Background:
Staff was recently contacted by representatives of Marriott Resort Ownership regarding
their concern for safety for vehicles exiting the Marriott timeshare development and turning
left onto Cook Street. They specifically asked us to consider prohibiting left turns exiting
their driveway (Riviera Drive). Staff reviewed conditions at the intersection and reviewed
collision records for the area. Based on the request by Marriott, staff determined that
safety could be improved at this location by preventing left turns exiting Riviera Drive, and
that this could best be accomplished by modifying the existing raised median island. A
plan for the proposed median island modification is attached.
Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, staff will proceed with modification of the
median island as soon as possible.
