New Stop Sign for Water's End?

Water’s End residents may soon have a new reason to slow down and then stop. The Traffic, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Committee is meeting Thursday to consider a number of items, including installation of new stop signs on McAllister Drive at Piercy Court.

Drivers leaving Piercy Court have very limited visibility to the north because of a curve on McAllister Drive and an embankment. There have been complaints of cars speeding in the southbound direction as well, making the situation more dangerous, according to a report prepared by Senior Civil Engineer Mike Roberts.

City staff is asking the committee to recommend installation of the signs. Staff estimates it will cost $750 to add the two signs to the intersection.

The committee will meet at 7 p.m. in the City Council chambers at Benicia City Hall, 250 East L St.
