Home My WebLink About051623-09.1ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT 9.1 TO: Mayor and Town Council May 16, 2023 SUBJECT: Resolution No. 38-2023, authorizing the installation of traffic calming measures consisting of three (3) speed lumps and two (2) advanced warning signs on Paraiso Drive between Camino Ramon and Brookside Drive BACKGROUND This report recommends that the Town Council adopt Resolution No. 38-2023, authorizing the implementation of traffic calming measures on Paraiso Drive. The traffic calming measures are proposed as a result of the implementation of the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) for the Paraiso Drive neighborhood. During the NTMP process, concerns expressed to the Town included continued incidents of speeding and cut - through traffic. As background, dating back to 2003, the Town has received concerns from residents regarding prevailing traffic conditions and vehicular speeds along Paraiso Drive between Camino Ramon and Brookside Drive. Although to this point in time there had not been consensus from the neighborhood for the implementation of traffic calming measures, other traffic safety measures have since been implemented such as speed limits signs, roadway striping of parking shoulders and a centerline to provide a "narrowing" effect, and periodic deployment of radar feedback display trailers and traffic enforcement. In addition to the current NTMP process, in 2022 the Town received grant funding for the design and construction of a raised crosswalk treatment at the Iron Horse Trail (CIP C-607) which will ultimately provide traffic calming benefits along the subject road segment. DISCUSSION Paraiso Drive is a two-lane neighborhood access road located south of Sycamore Valley Road and east of Camino Ramon. The road segment within the petition area is approximately 36 -feet wide, one-third of a mile long with a posted speed limit of 25 mph. It features striped parking shoulders and a centerline with no sidewalks or bicycle lanes. The street runs east -west between Camino Ramon and Brookside Drive serving local residential streets and providing connections to John Baldwin Elementary School and Osage Station Park. In August 2022, the Town received an NTMP application from Paraiso Drive residents concerned with vehicular speeding and pedestrian safety. In October 2022, Town staff proceeded to conduct a traffic survey on Paraiso Drive between Camino Ramon and Brookside Drive. Between Camino Ramon and the Iron Horse Trail crossing, the survey showed an 85th percentile speed of 34.0 mph and average daily traffic volume of 1,779 vehicles per day. Between the Iron Horse Trail crossing and Brookside Drive, the survey showed an 85th percentile speed of 30.1 mph and average daily traffic volume of 1,660 vehicles per day. As prescribed in the NTMP guidelines, the data confirms that Paraiso Drive experiences unacceptable prevailing vehicular speeds for a 25 -mph road (>32 mph). As Paraiso Drive is classified as a "neighborhood access" road in the Town of Danville 2030 General Plan, the traffic volumes are considered acceptable (between 1,500 vehicles and 3,500 vehicles per day) for its classification. However, in consideration of the lack of sidewalks and bicycle lanes, and proximity to the Iron Horse Trail and John Baldwin Elementary School, neighborhood residents have continued to express concerns with prevailing traffic conditions in recognition of the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists that share the street. Based on evaluation of the traffic data, and in conjunction with input received from area residents, staff proceeded to develop a traffic calming plan for Paraiso Drive to address the concerns of speeding and cut -through traffic. The proposed plan includes the installation of three (3) speed lumps and two (2) advanced warning signs (Attachment B). Town staff hosted two virtual neighborhood meetings with Paraiso Drive area residents on December 19, 2022, and February 27, 2023. Residents in attendance elected to proceed with a neighborhood petition to gain approval for the proposed traffic calming plan that was prepared and recommended by staff. In April 2023, the Town received a completed neighborhood petition in support of the proposed traffic calming plan with the required percentage of signatures per the NTMP guidelines (Attachment C). In summary, the petition received 75% approval from residents of Paraiso Drive within the petition boundary (a minimum approval of 70% is required per the NTMP Guidelines) and 52% approval from residents of the connecting adjacent streets (a minimum approval of 50% is required). PUBLIC CONTACT Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. Property owners along Paraiso Drive and the immediate adjacent streets that were included in the petition area have been notified (Attachment D). FISCAL IMPACT The costs associated with the installation of the recommended traffic calming measures are approximately $9,500. Sufficient funds have been appropriated in the 2022/2023 Capital Improvement Program as part of CIP No. C-305. Paraiso Drive NTMP 2 May 16, 2023 RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 38-2023, authorizing the installation of traffic calming measures consisting of three (3) speed lumps and two (2) advanced warning signs on Paraiso Drive between Camino Ramon and Brookside Drive.
