Commission asks staff for safety study of Rio Del Sol Avenue near Grant Ray Park

An item requesting a traffic‑safety study for Rio Del Sol Avenue — cited because of high vehicle speeds, a missing stop sign at the Rancho Drive intersection and a sharp curve with limited visibility — was read into the record and commissioners agreed to ask staff to study potential calming measures.

An unnamed commissioner read a written request describing the street’s characteristics: the roadway’s length encourages speeding, the Rancho Drive intersection lacks a stop sign, and a curve north of Rio Del Sol creates limited sight lines for approaching traffic. The speaker said the street leads directly to Grant Ray Park and is heavily used by pedestrians and children during events and recreational times; the suggestion included considering speed humps or a stop sign as traffic‑calming options.

Commission members asked for a roll call to confirm consensus. The roll‑call responses recorded affirmative positions and the commission directed staff to begin the requested traffic‑safety study and return findings at a future meeting. No budget, timeline or specific study scope was provided in the meeting record.
