# 11.12.26 Traffic and Transportation Commission Meeting of November 12, 2026

The Salinas Traffic and Transportation Commission met on November 12, 2026, to consider requests for all-way stops at six intersections. After reviewing traffic, collision, pedestrian, and site conditions, staff recommended stop signs on the minor approaches at Toro Avenue/Tampa Street, Toro Avenue/Miami Street, Verona Court/Verona Way, and Piazza Drive/Verona Court, with no stop-control changes at Montebello Boulevard/Genoa Way or Palermo Drive/Campania Way. The Commission rejected a substitute motion to install all-way stops at all six locations, then unanimously approved the staff recommendation for referral to City Council. Staff said funding was available for the proposed signs and anticipated City Council consideration on December 8. Staff also reported that speed cushions were planned for Toro Avenue between Barden and East Market, with installation expected within a few weeks; no cost figures were provided.

The Commission heard residents’ concerns about speeding, pedestrian safety, and commercial and oversized-vehicle parking. Staff noted that stop signs are not intended as speed-control devices under state and federal guidance. On line striping, staff said a contractor hired in April had not shown up and that the City was moving forward with hiring a different contractor; project plans could be viewed at the office but not copied before installation and Council approval. A second community meeting for the Williams Safe Street Corridor project was announced for November 19. No contract amount, contract number, or vendor name was stated.
