Traffic Commission 6/17/26

The City of Murrieta Traffic Commission held a meeting on June 17, 2026, focusing primarily on updates and decisions related to several capital improvement projects (CIP) and traffic safety measures. The commission received updates on ongoing and upcoming CIP projects including traffic signal modifications, pavement rehabilitation, lane additions, and new traffic signal installations. Two projects were in construction with expected completion dates later in the year. The commission discussed and voted unanimously to install all-way stop controls at two intersections: Los Alamos Road and Mason Avenue, and Poinsettia Street and Natsuhori Lane, the latter near Oak Meadows Elementary School to enhance pedestrian safety. The meeting also covered maintenance challenges related to sight distance at one intersection and the potential use of radar feedback signs to manage speeding. Commissioners addressed community concerns about traffic safety, crossing guards, and pedestrian infrastructure, and discussed signal timing adjustments in response to new developments. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the meeting included procurement-related discussions on upcoming bid advertisements and project advertising timelines.
