DHS MAC more progress - stop signs installed

Riverside County Transportation Department responded quickly to a recent request made by the DHS Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) to install a stop sign at the Sagebrush Trail and El Serape Trail intersection located within the B-BAR-H Ranch.  The corner was identified by local residents as a danger zone for incoming/outgoing vehicles.  

There have been several close misses at the intersection.  People coming into the area and people leaving had no traffic controls.  Now, when using the Sagebrush Trail exit, people will be required to stop.

Special thanks are extended to EDA Project Manager Brenda Salas for being the liaison with the Transportation Department to accomplish the DHS MAC task.  Brenda coordinates and leads seven MAC groups within Riverside County.  The MAC groups make community improvement recommendations to County Supervisors' offices throughout Riverside County.  

An additional stop sign was placed at the corner of Paintbrush Trail and El Serape Trail.  Residents anticipate the additional stop signs will slow speeders in the neighborhood.  The stop sign installations fall within Supervisor Marion Ashley's  5th District.  Supervisor Ashley is dedicated to helping the County's 5th District residents resolve safety issues.  

For more information about a MAC in your area, please contact Brenda Salas at 951.955.6046.  Meetings are held quarterly, and all residents living in unincorporated areas of Riverside County are invited to attend.  

Participating in a MAC meeting creates a forum for residents to speak directly with their County Supervisor.  It's one of the best results-oriented communication vehicles Riverside County has implemented to streamline processes and create a team effort!
