Resident urges 4-way stop at Greystone and Ivy after series of collisions
Summary
At the Aug. 5 Monrovia City Council meeting a longtime resident described recent collisions at Greystone and Ivy avenues and council staff pointed residents to an extended Safe Streets survey and the traffic review process.
John Schneider, a longtime Monrovia resident, told the City Council on Aug. 5 that repeated collisions at the intersection of Greystone and Ivy Avenue are causing safety concerns and urged the city to install a four-way stop.
The comment came during the public-comment period of a brief council meeting that began at 5 p.m. and closed at about 5:40 p.m. The council did not take immediate action on the intersection; City Manager Dylan told Schneider that any new stop sign would require review by the city’s traffic-safety process and pointed him to an online survey tied to Monrovia’s Safe Streets and Roads for All effort.
The survey, Dylan said during the reports section, has been extended for 30 days to collect more resident input about crosswalks, stop signs, speed cushions and similar changes. The city manager also noted residents may attend traffic safety committee meetings and that the interactive map on the city website allows people to mark locations of concern.
Council members did not vote on any traffic changes at the meeting. The discussion was limited to public comment and staff guidance on the next steps for requesting a traffic-safety review.
The meeting record shows the Aug. 5 council session was shorter than usual so there was no public hearing or agenda item devoted to the intersection; formal engineering review and committee recommendations would be the next step before any traffic-control devices were installed.
