Agenda Item No. F2.—CONSENT
Consider an ordinance designating the intersection of Wyoming Springs Drive and Golden
Agenda Caption: Oak Circle as an all-way stop intersection. (Second Reading) 1
Meeting Date: September 13, 2012

Transportation Director
Item Summary:
This ordinance will create a permanent All-Way stop control condition for the intersection of Wyoming Springs Drive
and Goldenoak Circle. Please see the attached Exhibit A for specific details.
The T-intersection has been open to traffic and pedestrian operations for several years with two-way stop control on
the Goldenoak Circle approaches only. The southbound approach has been blocked because Wyoming Springs Drive
ends just north of this intersection. For this reason, pedestrian and vehicular traffic crossing Wyoming Springs Drive
has been conditioned to expect no conflicting traffic from the north. However, construction traffic from a new
section of Sendero Springs has begun using the intersection to access their site, and future single-family homes will
use this route once the construction is complete.
These vehicles conflict with current driver and pedestrian expectations and for those reasons City staff installed an
emergency All-Way Stop control using temporary sign posts. This area will experience a considerable increase in
pedestrian activity when school begins because of its proximity to Cactus Ranch Elementary School. City
transportation staff has determined that an All-Way Stop control is warranted at this intersection to provide
increased pedestrian safety the appropriate guidance for drivers experiencing the newly changed conditions.
Cost: There is no cost to adopt this ordinance
Recommended Action: Approval
