Pismo /Buchon Neighborhood Traffic Management
Draft Action Plan (June, 2010)
Background
In the Fall of 2005, residents in the Pismo/Buchon neighborhood submitted a petition asking the
City of San Luis Obispo to address concerns about excessive traffic speeds, volumes, and collisions
in the neighborhood.
On April 21, 2008, the City of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department held a community
meeting for neighborhood residents to discuss their traffic concerns. Based on interest expressed at
the meeting, a Neighborhood Action Team comprised of residents representing the entire
neighborhood was formed. Four neighborhood representatives attended the first Neighborhood
Action Team meeting in May 2008. At this initial meeting the Action Team members reviewed and
specified issues that they felt should be addressed as part of this Neighborhood Traffic Management
(NTM) effort. Public Works staff discussed with the Action Team the types of traffic studies that
would measure the volume, speed and travel patterns of traffic in the neighborhood and that traffic
studies would begin in the Fall once all schools were in session.
The traffic studies were conducted from September 2008 to May 2009. Five Action Team members
subsequently met with Public Works Staff in May 2009 to discuss the results of the traffic studies
and develop a cost effective solution to resolve the traffic concerns identified by the residents.
Development of the Action Plan continued as City staff met with the Action Team throughout 2009
and 2010.
Traffic Study Results
The results of the traffic studies confirmed the neighborhood concerns about traffic speeds and
volumes. As summarized in Table 1, speed surveys conducted on Johnson Avenue indicate that the
85`x' percentile speed ranged between 35 -38 mph with a posted speed of 30 mph; Pismo Street
ranged from 30 -32 mph while Buchon Street ranged from 31 -33 mph, both with a posted speed of
25 mph. A license plate survey during the peak traffic hours confirmed that 74% of the traffic on
Buchon and 56% of the traffic on Pismo did not have a destination within the neighborhood. Traffic
volume counts indicated that the average daily volume of vehicles on Buchon (3,570) exceed the
Circulation Element desired maximum volume (3,000 for a Residential Collector) by 20 %. Traffic
volume counts indicated that the average daily volume of vehicles on Pismo (3,650) exceed the
Circulation Element desired maximum volume by 22 %.

Implementation & Performance Monitoring
If the City Council approves the Action Plan, City staff will immediately begin engineering and
design of the improvements, which should take approximately 4-6 months to complete. Following
design, City staff will advertise for construction bids & award a construction contract, which should
take approximately 1 -2 months. Construction should take approximately 2 -3 months to complete.
Once construction is completed, City staff will conduct ongoing performance monitoring of traffic
volumes, speeds, and collisions for a period of 12 months.
It is the NTM policy that the application of NTM devices should not divert traffic onto other
Residential Collector or Residential Local street that exceeds the diversion standards shown in
Figure 3 of the NTM guidelines. Therefore if after a period of 6 or 12 months staff determines the
diversion standards are exceeded staff will install three additional speed humps and painted edge
lines on Buchon street. If it is determined that any of the improvements have imposed any undue
secondary impacts, the Director of Public Works may order modification, addition, and/or removal
of NTM devices installed as part of this action plan.

PismoBuchon Neighborhood Trdtrw'Management Draft Action Plan May 2010
Cost Estimates & Funding
The Action Plan proposes to construct a series of traffic calming measures on Johnson Ave, Pismo
St, and Buchon St. as described in Table 3 and 4. If these measures fail to meet the goals of the
project as listed in Table 1, the Action Plan includes the option of installing additional traffic
calming devices. The total cost of the Action Plan is estimated at $270,000. The proposed funding
strategy is to allocate $172,900 of available City Neighborhood Traffic Management funding to the
Action Plan. This funding will be allocated to Action Plan projects 1 through 7. If after one year
performance monitoring determines that there has been an increase of traffic on Buchon, additional
traffic calming devices may be installed depending on City staff and funding resources.
