The residents cited ongoing cut-through traffic, congestion during the peak hours, and speeding in the off-peak hours as recurring issues in this neighborhood. In response to these community concerns, Office of Transportation staff initiated the Crescent Park Traffic Calming Project to study the project area and evaluate the neighborhood for potential traffic calming elements to be placed. Staff retained the services of Fehr & Peers Engineers to assist with the project study and traffic calming evaluation for the neighborhood. In March 2018, speed and volume data was collected at 11 locations in the neighborhood to further evaluate existing conditions. The data is summarized in Exhibit A. In May 2018, the Office of Transportation staff met with the neighborhood residents to hear their traffic-related concerns. After hearing concerns from residents, staff, in coordination with community members, reviewed existing traffic data, and developed conceptual solutions to address neighborhood traffic-related concerns. As a result of this collaboration, four locations were identified to implement traffic calming measures as shown in Exhibit B. 2 Packet Pg. 8 City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department Page 2 • Location 1: University Avenue / West Crescent Drive • Location 2: University Avenue / East Crescent Drive • Location 3: Southwood Drive / East Crescent Drive • Location 4: Hamilton Avenue / Center Drive / Southwood Drive Discussion Based on input from staff and comments received from the residents, Fehr & Peers developed conceptual layouts of proposed alternatives to be implemented at various locations in the neighborhood. The proposed measures addressed the majority of the concerns heard from the residents. These conceptual layouts include temporary measures that can be quickly placed using pavement markings, delineators, bolt-down rubber curbs, temporary asphalt concrete dike, etc. Using these measures, the following alternatives were developed at the four locations listed below. The existing conditions and proposed improvements are also shown in detail in Exhibit B. Location 1: University Avenue & West Crescent Drive: Installation of a 50’ protected bikeway section downstream of intersection on University Avenue for eastbound traffic. This would prevent vehicular traffic from using the bike lanes as a merge lane during congestion and peak traffic hours. Location 2: University Avenue & East Crescent Drive: Conversion of Crescent Loop to right- in/right-out access at its eastern intersection with University Avenue. The addition of a median island will prevent southbound left turns from Crescent Drive onto eastbound University Avenue. This was intended to prevent cut-through traffic on Crescent Drive Loop. Location 3: Southwood Drive & East Crescent Drive: Installation of curb extensions in the northwest corner of Southwood Drive and East Crescent Drive to reduce the size of the intersection. Curb extension will help align East Crescent drive perpendicular to the Southwood Drive. The improvements also include three-way stop controls at this intersection. Location 4: Hamilton Avenue, Southwood Drive and Center Drive: Installation of curb extensions, stop signs, and traffic circle or combination of these measures at the five-legged intersection of Hamilton Avenue, Center Drive, and Southwood Drive. Three options were developed for this location. Option A: Curb extension and striping modification to realign the intersection of Hamilton Avenue and Center Street with the addition of stop signs. Also, realign Southwood Drive and add a stop sign. Option B: Curb Extensions with a traffic circle at Hamilton Avenue and Center Street. Adjust stop signs on Center Streets and add stop signs on Hamilton Avenue. Realign Southwood Drive with curb extension and add stop sign on Southwood Drive. Option C: Add an oval-shaped traffic circle with stop signs for all directions. 2 Packet Pg. 9 City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department Page 3 Neighborhood Communication & Support On Tuesday, November 19, 2019, staff held a second community meeting at Palo Alto City Hall. These conceptual improvements were shared with the Crescent Park neighborhood residents and they were asked to provide their comments on each alternative. Most residents were in favor of the proposed measures. For Location 4 at Hamilton Avenue, Southwood Drive, and Center Drive, the majority of the residents favored Option C. However, the right-in and right-out restrictions on Location 2 at University Avenue and East Crescent Drive was concerning to a few residents. As a result, staff surveyed affected residents of Crescent loop to solicit their comments. A survey was mailed to all twenty-one residents on Crescent Loop. City received thirteen (13) responses, of these twelve (12) residents were against the right-in and right-out restrictions and only one resident responded in favor of such improvement at this location. The survey results are available for review upon request. Based on the comments received from the community and the survey results, staff recommends installation of the following temporary traffic calming measures: Location 1: University Avenue & West Crescent Drive: Installation of a 50’ protected bikeway section downstream of intersection on University Avenue Location 3: Southwood Drive & East Crescent Drive: Installation of curb extensions in the northwest corner of Southwood Drive and East Crescent Drive to reduce the size of the intersection and three-way stop controls. Location 4: Hamilton Avenue, Southwood Drive, and Center Drive: Option C: Installation of an oval-shaped traffic circle with stop signs for all directions. Staff recommends implementing these traffic calming measures as a one-year pilot with ongoing monitoring of the project area. Staff would return to Council one-year after the implementation of the pilot for direction on whether to make the improvements permanent or modify the alternative and perform additional monitoring. Policy Implications City of Palo Alto 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals, policies, and programs that support staff’s recommendations include: • Policy T-4.2 Continue to construct traffic calming measures to slow traffic on local and collector residential streets and prioritize traffic calming measures for safety over congestion management Program. • T4.2.1 Periodically evaluate residential areas for traffic impacts and use the results of that evaluation to prioritize traffic calming measures. 2 Packet Pg. 10 City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department Page 4 • Policy T-4.3 Identify specific improvements that can be used to discourage drivers from using local, neighborhood streets to bypass traffic congestion on arterials. • Policy T-4.4 Maintain the following roadways as residential arterials, treated with landscaping, medians and other visual improvements to distinguish them as residential streets, in order to improve safety: o Middlefield Road (between San Francisquito Creek and San Antonio Road) o University Avenue (between San Francisquito Creek and Middlefield Road) o Embarcadero Road (between Alma Street and West Bayshore Road) o East and West Charleston Road/Arastradero Road (between Miranda Avenue and Fabian Way). o Use landscaping and other improvements to establish clear Program T4.4.1 “gateways” at the points where the Oregon Expressway, University Avenue and Embarcadero Road transition from freeways to neighborhoods. Resource Impact The construction of the temporary improvements for the Crescent Park neighborhood traffic calming pilot project will be performed by the City’s on-call contractors under current in-place contracts. Contracts for this project are funded through the Transportation and Parking Improvements Capital Improvement Project (PL-12000) of the FY 2021 Adopted Capital Budget. Project PL-12000 provides funding for the implementation of miscellaneous neighborhood traffic calming improvements. The department will contain costs within authorized budget levels for FY 2021. If additional funding is needed, budgetary adjustments will be brought forward as necessary for Council approval. After the successful implementation of the trial period, the permanent improvements, if desired, may be considered as a separate Capital Improvement Project to replace the temporary measures with permanent (concrete) improvements. Funding for permanent improvements would be discussed following the pilot program review and addressed through the annual budget processes, as necessary. Environmental Review The proposed modifications are minor upgrades to an existing residential street right-of-way and would not result in any new impacts on the existing environment. This project is considered as a minor alteration to the existing street system, and therefore categorically exempt (Class 1 Exemption, Section 15301) from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed modification is minor and a trial. Public Notification, Outreach & Comments Residents in the project area were notified by mail of the Planning and Transportation Committee meeting and the availability of this staff report. Next Steps Prepare Work Orders to Install Treatments 2 Packet Pg. 11 City of Palo Alto Planning & Development Services Department Page 5 Upon City Council approval of the pilot project, staff will issue work orders for the implementation of the recommended alternatives. These improvements will be temporary and will be installed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed measures. The work order will not reflect permanent improvements that require the completion of detailed construction plans and specifications for public bidding. As such, the drawings will not account for vertical dimensions or drainage infrastructure requirements. The drawings also will not account for design elements such as curb and gutter, sidewalk, pavement modifications, street lighting, or other green infrastructure. Collect Data and Draft End-of-pilot City will coordinate the collection of data at various locations under normal traffic conditions and evaluate the pre-pilot and end-of-pilot data to determine the efficacy of the pilot project with a particular focus on key issues at these locations. An end-of-pilot technical memorandum will be compiled for the City Council which will include recommendations for how to proceed following the pilot program. The Pilot program may be extended beyond a 12-month period if traffic flow is not indicative of normal (pre-COVID) traffic conditions. The Office of Transportation staff will evaluate the project, collect additional data, and conduct another resident survey prior to the recommendation of the permanent installation of the traffic calming measures. Staff will prepare preliminary cost estimates for the project. Upon funding availability, staff will pursue the design and construction of permanent improvements.
