Subject:Dec 4 agenda, Item 8
Mayor Harmon, Council Members Christianson, Gomez and Pease and incoming Council Member Stewart:
I am requesting that "Plans and Specifications for Buchon Traffic Calming" be moved from the consent calendar to the
regular agenda because the item lacks Attachment A: plans and specifications for the traffic calming measures. A brief
presentation of Attachment A would be appreciated.
I am contacting you as an individual rather than as chair of the Active Transportation Committee because this project
was not reviewed by the ATC. The ATC is not included in the approval process for Neighborhood Traffic Calming projects
even though these projects improve safety for pedestrians and people riding bikes.
My question is whether the traffic circle at Toro and Buchon has stop signs at Toro or is a roundabout with no stop signs.
I'm also wondering if the roundabout is temporary similar to the traffic circles on Chorro Street between Broad and
Bucheon.
On a similar issue, the ATC was not consulted on another much-needed neighborhood project: a proposed HAWK
beacon on Broad Street at Woodbridge Street. However, we were asked to include the project in our recommended
2019-21 budget goals, which we did because the HAWK beacon will significantly improve safety for pedestrians and
people riding bikes.
Thank you.
Lea
