AND OTHER PLACES IN THE CITY OF GILROY AT WHICH STOP SIGNS
SHALL BE PLACED STOPPING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY GF
GILROY BY REQUIRING STOP SIGNS TO BE PLACED ON EIGLEBERRY
STREET AT BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH ENTRANCES TO FIFTH STREET,
STOPPING NORTH AND SOUTH BOUND TRAFFIC AT SAID INTERSECTION.
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GILROY DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION I: Section 71 of the Ordinance No. 480 of
the City of Gilroy, Commonly designated as the Traffic
Ordinance, as heretofore amended by Ordinance No. 640 ,is
hereby further amended by adding to the intersections and
places in the City of Gilroy at which Stop Signs shall be
placed and at which vehicular traffic shall stop, to be
known as 73, to read as follows:
73. On Eigleberry Street at its North and South
entrances to Fifth Street, stopping North and
South bound traffic on Eigleberry Street at
Fifth Street.
~ECTION II: The Administrative Officer of the City
of Gilroy shall require stop signs be placed at said inter-
section to carry out the provisions of this Ordinance.
SECTION XII: This Ordinance is an emergency Ordi-
nance and shall take~fect immediately upon passage and
approval. The facts constituting said emergency are as
follows:
Said intersection was, until a comparatively short
time ago, one at which stop signs were erected on all four
entrances to said intersectioni that in an effort to lessen
the traffic on Monterey Street and divert part of it to
Eigleberry Street, the Stop Signs were ordered removed from
stopping both North and South bound traffic on Eigleberry
Street at Fifth Street. After a trial under these conditions,
it has developed that the intersection at Fifth and Eigleberry
Streets is quite dangerous and that unless the stop signs are
forthwith returned, stopping North and South bound traffic on
Eigleberry Street, serious or fatal accidents may occur, and
to prevent such occurrance or lessen the possibility thereof
this Ordinance should be adopted immediately.
