Luke,
FYI, the final plans for the striping and speed tables for Righetti traffic calming were submitted to Public works on
3/20/2023. Just wanted to keep you in the loop. I am not sure if these will be routed to you for review and approval,
but they incorporate all your requested changes based on your preliminary review. Thanks, Travis

Robert, I don’t see a transmittal or application for this submittal. Please send both so I can reference this plan check
with the City. Thanks Travis

Luke I received the modification details and will be revising the speed table being proposed on Tiburon accordingly.

I suggest sending me a first draft, then I’ll have you submit to Matt LaFreniere so he can take this in for formal
review and approval by Hal’s team.

Got it. We will get a plan drawn up and submitted for approval. Should these be submitted to you directly or someone
else?? Travis

Travis,
Our staff was in the field yesterday to confirm specific locations of the speed tables. I’ll send
those details over your way to help guide your designer.
Also, you will need to submit the revised plan sheets showing these new features for City
approval before moving to construct these measures. I’d suggest sending a draft copy of the
plans my way for concurrence, after which I’ll connect you with our permit tech to get these
taken in for formal review/approval.
Thanks,

Luke, I have a proposal to complete this work from Toste Construction. I believe you said they did the
earlier bumps on Ranch House. I would like to get these installed in short order. Please confirm if you
have marked the locations for RRM to update the plans so I can schedule the work. Thanks, Travis

We could have staff mark them in the field and provide dimensions to the nearest intersection
for additional reference.

Thanks Luke. I think I understand what you are looking for. I don’t see the exact location you are
wanting the speed table along Tiburon. If you could include that with dimensions ans well as
dimensions on the two on Righetti Ranch Road, we can have our engineers start to revise these plans for
your review and approval. Travis

Travis,
Attached, please find staff recommendations for traffic calming strategies to address the high
speeds identified in the Righetti Ranch traffic monitoring study (also attached). I’ve tried to
avoid unreasonable recommendations that would require significant costs, such as permanent
corner bulbouts, raised intersection construction/reconstruction, etc., focusing on features that
have proven effectiveness with a high cost/benefit. Here’s a summary of what we’re
recommending:
1. Righetti Ranch Road south of Twin Creeks
1. Install a left yellow edge stripe adjacent to the medians in both northbound and
southbound directions, which visually narrows the traffic lane widths, which can
help with reducing vehicle speeds.
2. Righetti Ranch Road between Tiburon and Hayfield
1. Install 2 speed tables per City Standard Plans (included in attachment)
3. Tiburon between Righetti Ranch Road and Orcutt Road
1. Where on-street bike lanes exists, add a striped bike buffer to visually narrow the
auto lane widths, which can help with reducing vehicle speeds
2. Install one speed table just west of Imel. Use City Standard speed table modified
to keep the edges of the table out of the on-street bike lane, which can create a
trip/fall hazard. Westcreek just constructed 2 such tables on Ranch House Road
and I’ve included the details showing this modified table design in the attached.
Please let me know when you’ve had a chance to review and digest so we can discuss next
steps. With Westcreek’s recent traffic calming on Ranch House Road, they had the same
engineer that prepared their original PIPs add these traffic calming elements and submitted as
plan revisions under the original FMAP case. They installed their speed tables a few weeks after
plan approval and we subsequently released their bond for traffic calming mitigation. I imagine
we could do something similar here.
Thanks,

Travis,
I’ve reviewed the memo and have a few minor comments (see attached).
It looks like we do have speeding issues on both Righetti Ranch Road and Tiburon. I’d like to
spend a little more time reviewing potential traffic calming mitigation strategies in coordination
with our Transit and Fire staff, but even if the ultimate recommendation was to install speed
tables on each of these segments w/ conservative spacing (300-600 feet between each table),
the total cost should be well within the $200K bond. I would be supportive of clearing the $25K
bond, but continuing to hold the $200K bond until these solutions are in place.
Thanks,
Luke Schwartz, PE

Thanks Luke. Any chance you can review the study today or tomorrow.
I would like your ok to release the small $25k bond as we discussed. This will leave you the
duplicate bond for $200K. Let me know so Hal and Matt can issue the release once you are
comfortable. Travis
