Commission receives report on interim acceleration lane at La Paz Road and Appaloosa Place
Summary
Staff reported a restriping to create a median acceleration lane at La Paz and Appaloosa as an interim safety improvement; the Traffic Commission received and filed the report 4‑0.
City staff told commissioners that the intersection of La Paz Road and Appaloosa Place has long been on the traffic‑signal warrant list and that Hartzog and Craybill had found a median acceleration lane beneficial as an interim safety measure while funding for a traffic signal is sought. Staff said restriping to create the acceleration lane was completed as part of semiannual roadway restriping, and recommended the commission receive and file the report. The commission approved the recommendation 4‑0.
The staff report noted available developer‑paid funding had previously been reallocated to other traffic signal improvements, and that the acceleration lane is intended as an interim operational safety measure pending possible future signal construction.
Next steps: no additional action requested other than filing the report; the commission acknowledged the completed work and moved on to subsequent agenda items.
