The following communication was authorized by your Board to advocate for replacing the 4-way stop signs. If you have an opinion, please share it with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Commissioner Ryan:
On behalf of the RVCA Board of Directors and in response to requests of Rio Vista residents I have been attempting to have permanent 4 way stop signs added to SE 11 Avenue in Rio Vista since early 2019.
We have come to a point where we are in need of additional advocacy from your office as this matter is beyond the scope of City authority despite extensive work from Sorensen and TAM. Some background:
- In May of 2019 a County traffic study found 4-way stops signs not warranted based on the guidelines. (attached & below)
- In December of 2019 subsequent to a sewer main break temporary signs were placed at SE 7 Street and SE 8th Street along SE 11 Avenue as a part of an MOT to address construction traffic. No complaints about the additional stop signs were provided to the RVCA at any point.
- In June of 2021 the County conducted an additional traffic study making the same findings. (attached & below)
- In Summer 2021 the County advised the signs at SE 8th Street and SE 7th Street on SE 11 Avenue were not permitted to be at the locations. With the help of City TAM we were able to keep them there due to ongoing work still related to the sewer main break.
- On November 19, 2021 the County required the signs be removed, residents were outraged and flooded my email with complaints, which were reiterated at our General Meeting.
