1. Traffic Matrix #344
Issue: Request for stop signs at La Paz/Aspesi and Casablanca/Myren by Ravi Sivakolundu,

the traffic engineer recommended taking an incremental approach with directed
enforcement, to review locations for inpavement warning speed signs, and to come back at
a future date with data to determine future actions. More recently, an accident occurred at
that neighborhood and residents are requesting a stop sign at the intersections mentioned
above.
Action: TSC will review and discuss data collected by the traffic engineer and make a
recommendation.
