All-Way Stop Control on Road 126 & Avenue 419, in Orosi

The project at the intersection of Road 126 and Avenue 419 in the unincorporated community of Orosi, California, aims to improve traffic and pedestrian safety by converting the existing two-way stop control to an all-way stop control. This change involves installing STOP signs on both the north and south approaches of Road 126, ensuring that all directions of traffic must come to a complete stop before proceeding. The decision is based on an investigation by the Tulare County Resource Management Agency, which determined that the intersection meets the criteria outlined in Section 2B.07 of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and complies with California Vehicle Code Section 22450(c), granting local authorities the authority to enhance safety through stop sign placement. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA 14 Cal. Code Regs. §15303(d), as it involves minor alterations to existing facilities with no significant environmental impact. All work will occur on-site at the intersection, with inspection and acceptance handled by Tulare County Public Works through its Resource Management Agency and Traffic Operations Division. No formal contract value, payment terms, invoicing methods, or accounting codes are specified, and no bidding process details, evaluation criteria, or contractor requirements are provided. Primary contacts for the project include Gary Mills as Chief Planner, Jessica Wills as Environmental Planner, and Johnny Wong as Chief Engineer, all reachable through the Tulare County Resource Management Agency in Visalia. The project is published as a forecast with no solicitation number or submission deadline indicated.
