•REQUEST: ALL WAY STOP AT PORTOLA AVENUE AND HOVLEY LANE WEST
DATE: September 27, 2001
Recommendation:
Receive and file.
Background_
The Public Works Department prepared a work order directing city forces to install All Way
Stop controls at the intersection of Portola Avenue and Hovley Lane West. The reasons
for implementing the All Way Stop controls at the intersection were two-fold.
First, due to the pipeline construction across Monterey Avenue at Hovley Lane West, all
access to and from Hovley Lane West is restricted from Monterey Avenue thereby forcing
all Hovley Lane West traffic use Portola Avenue. The All Way Stop operation provides
controlled access to Portola Avenue for Hovley Lane traffic. The Hovley Lane West
closure is to be in effect through the month of September, based on the construction
estimates provided by the Contractor.
Secondly, the All Way Stop acts as a prelude to the traffic signal currently under
construction at Portola Avenue and Hovley Lane West. The turn-on of the new signal
installation is anticipated in early October 2001.
