CMR:,U4:~4 P.at:e 1 or I!J \ EXE<vnYE SUMMARY The study findings indicate that safety ,and speeding concerns. within tne. study area, arc not unusual for comparable streets within Palo ,t"lto. However. the tindings also suggest thac there is a :;.ub5tantia~ amount of cui through traffic within the neighborhood, and that the potential for mitigatlng through traffic on sume of the streets most affe-:led doe$ exist. From a larger set ofiTtjtial alternatives, the study process evolved to the following four: Aiurnati.;"t 112 ,Hlernathe 113 Install traffic r02.d bumps and other calming dc.vices (circles. choke-rs); limit mmning tUniS un Univn.5ily at GUinda and Fulton: and add a s.ecnnu \\'C'stbound lane on Umvenity near Midd1cfidd. lilstall <1 divert,.;r at Sr.n'!c:l 'dnd Palo Aho Awnue; install lraffle :;.'almin[~ dcvj,,;,:!s; jimil morning turns on Uni .... ersity at Guinda and rullOn: <!no 'add J second \\,tstbound lane on Universlly near l\liddlefield, Close the PopeJChal!cer Bridge to through vehicuiar traffic, but maintain .access for emergency vehicles, pc-destrians and bicyc:iisIS. Maintain the statu." quo. Aj.emativc j address,,, speeding. but no' through traffic within the neighborhood; and while Alternative's 2 and 3 address the current through traffic concern, Alternative-2 shifts a substantial amount of through traffic to other streets and Alternative 3 does not have support in the neighboriH)od or elsewhere. Alternative 4 would not cause any changt""s from e~lsting conditions. The fisc..al impact of this project ranges from $0 to $26,000 for a temporary instaHation and up to 586,01.){) for a permam:llt installatlon. d~pending upon what course of ac:tlon i<.> pursued. At the present time. thtre is no f1Jt1ding established to implement these alternatives, on either a trial or permanent basis. ~e 2 or 19 An Environmental Assessment wilf be prepared prior to COlln{'il aClion, based upon Prnicy and ~n .. ict's Commiltee recommendatiOll lu tnt", Coundl, PREPARED BY' Ashok Ap::g.1.N'al.
