Kristin Borel Written Communication From: Marj Ottenberg [marjott @yahoo.com] ent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 12:15 AM fo: Kristin Bore[ Subject: Pierce Road /Saratoga - Sunnyvale Rd. intersection Comments for the Saratoga Safety Committee meeeting of April 12: 1. The new intersection of Pierce Road and Saratoga /Sunnyvale Road is a very bad design! The original design was adequate and reasonably safe. The new 110 degree right turn onto Pierce from the north is NOT easy; for long vehicles and towed trailers it can be quite difficult and dangerous. 2. The new walkway on the north side of Pierce Rd. is O.K. - -but walking on the north side is very uncomfortable; the south side of Pierce happens to be easier to walk on, but is far from perfect! 3. It is assumed that cars should/will slow down for the Pierce Road 90 degree curve at the Foothill Lane intersection. Unfortunately, the single bump just before Foothill Lane barely slows anyone going west and has almost no effect on cars going east (as attested by the continuing battering of the large aluminum square signs, bearing black chevrons pointing around the curve!). A similar bump, between Comer Drive and the curve might help, or stop signs at Comer Drive (going west) and Houston Court (going east) would really help - -even if the cars made only "hollywood" stops!

I would like to follow up with a brief summary of my input on the cars parked on Saratoga Ave. in front of Saratoga Parkside. There are two entrances to Saratoga Parkside off Saratoga Ave. (these are also exits). I m ref - ferring to cars exiting onto Saratoga Ave. My complaint is the blind spot that is caused by trucks and SUV's parked on Saratoga Ave .causing a blind spot for both cars and bicycles. There has been an incident where a bicyclist ran into a car parked waiting to exit onto Saratoga Ave. The 40 mile an hour speed limit does not leave room for error. Hopefully you will consider a way To help eleminate an accident. One car length painted red in each entrance would be of help. We also have a problem of cars parked that are there for more than 72 hours without being moved. I realize you cannot patrol this situation with a great deal of efficiency. Anything that you can do to improve our situation would be greatly appreciated. Yours truly, Marsha Palmquist Beverly Hortin 18921 Sara Park Circle Saratoga, CA 95070 January 18, 2007 Kristin Borel Administrative Analyst Public Works 13777 Fruitvale Ave. Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Ms. Borel: Thank you for meeting with us recently to discuss our concerns regarding the cars parked on Saratoga Avenue in front of Saratoga Parkside. When leaving our complex it is very difficult to see the on coming traffic because of all the cars parked on the street. Leaving the complex on two occasions I came close to hitting a bike rider and his dog because there was a very large white truck with a camper shell parked next to the drive way and I .could not see beyond it. It would really help our situation to have at least one car length painted red on both sides of the two drive ways into our complex. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Beverly Horti To! KVAZZ7,� �a"aJ�,}� vlq-ll izz ^ Lc January 20, 2007 Kristen Bore[ City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Kristen I am writing to you about a dangerous traffic situation that exists at the two exits from our. subdivision, Saratoga Parkside. Both exits open .unto. Saratoga Avenue. They are the only exits from our 76 unit condominium complex, so they are busy all day. At the north side of each exit parking on Saratoga is allowed. right to the very edge of our exit. This makes it very difficult to turn right into the northbound right lane of Saratoga Avenue. Cars leaving our sub have to enter both northbound lanes to get out. On the south side of each exit the curb is striped red, but just for a very short distanc. Cars parked ob Saratoga on the south side of the two exits block our view of traffic coming along Saratoga Avenue from the signal light at Cox. The suggested solution is to paint a red "no parking" stripe on the curb on the north side of side of each exit .two or three car lengths long. The red stripping on the south side of each exit should be extended at least two or three car lengths. I have discussed this problem with several of my neighbors and we all agree that it is serious. Your assistance in getting it solved would be appreciated by all of us. Thank you, G` Don Winner 18936 Sara Park Circle Saratoga, CA 95070 18922 Sara Park Circle Saratoga, CA 95070 January 17, 2007 Kristin Borel Administrative Analyst Public Works 13777 Fruitvale Ave. Saratoga, CA 95070 Dear Kristin Thank you for visiting our complex. I would like to address some of my concerns in regard to the Parking problem we have on Saratoga Ave. in front of our complex, Saratoga Parkside. My concern is being able to see over the SUV'S, trucks, and cars parked along Saratoga Ave at our street exists. Because of this problem an accident could happen at anytime. This complex was originally a 55 and older, consequently we still have many senior Citizens living here. My thoughts would be to paint the whole curb red to avoid these problems. This also would Take care of trucks and cars that are parked there and not being used for weeks, months, Or years.

We have a stop sign that was installed sevral years ago in front of our house to slow down the traffic between Lomita and Komina on Aloha. The stop sign has helped, but most cars fly down the hill (from Lomita to Komina) and only slow down for the stop sign. The lump installed on Komina would be a perfect solution to further slow down this traffic. This email is a request to appear at the April meeting to further explain the danger that currently exists and the solution I have outlined in this email.

Thank you. Regards, > > Steve Allen Traffic Matrix #181 February 20,2007 Re:Traffic Meeting We have lived at our present address on Ravenwood for over 40 years. Durin g that period of time parents, late to school, have sped down our street in order to drop off or pick up their children at Marshall Lane School. Unfortunately, Ravenwood is a long straight street in which drivers can exceed 35-40 miles per hour. We have been very lucky that a small child has not been seriously injured or killed. Recently a police officer tickets a motorist in front of our home for speeding. In the past couple of years, several new families have moved into our neighborhood. Many young children are now residing along Ravenwood along with our seven grandchildren that are with us many days. Please before a tragedy occurs — install speed bumps. We have been in contact with the city for many years about this necessity. Absolutely nothing has been done!! You have in your possession a letter we wrote in the last several years and also a response letter from the city. Please once again install speed bumps — it's an absolute necessity. It will slow down traffic to a legal limit. We will not be able to attend the April meeting. We will be in Australia for the month of April. However, if you give us the date, time and location we will inform as many neighbors as possible. Sincerely, Bill and Val Hardy "12, November 29, 2004 Danielle Surdin City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Saratoga, CA 95070 . Dear Ms Surdin, Per our conversation on November 20`b, I am to request that the Ravenwood Drive's ever - increasing speeding problem be placed on the City Council's agenda as quickly as possible. We have lived here for over 38 years and the cars speeding down our street (mostly to take children to school) is getting continually worse. We would like to suggest that a speed bump be placed in front of our home. We have seen them in other neighborhoods and to my knowledge are slowing down the traffic. The City has in the past placed an electronic speed sign on Ravenwood, but this only slows people down when it is in place. We have observed that as soon as it is removed from the street, people resume their "normal" speed. Our greatest fear is that someone will be hurt or a life lost before anything has been done to remedy the situation. Please place this item on the City Council's December 9`h agenda. I would like the Council to discuss and handle this issue ASAP. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I wanted to touch base with you regarding the status of your issue. Several of your neighbors contacted the City regarding this issue last spring and. submitted petitions requesting that the Marshall Lane/Ravenwood neighborhood be put officially in the queue for the City's `Neighborhood Traffic Management Program" (NTMP). There are currently six other neighborhoods ahead of Ravenwood. The NTMP process is very effective, but is also. very time intensive. In addition, City staff and . resources are spread thin due to limited funds. Let me know if you are interested in getting in touch with your neighbor who contacted the City about this issue last spring. I would be happy to pass on your contact:. . information to her. Also, feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. I work part-time on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays from 8 AM until 3 PM.

It was very nice to meet you, too. The problem is as follows: The intersection of Winter. Ln. and Chateau is a dangerous, uncontrolled intersection where cross traffic is likely to collide -- especially if there is someone unfamiliar with the intersection. Drivers from each direction may claim right of way. To make matters even worse, the intersection is blind (1) turning left from Chateau onto Winter, heading toward Cumberland, AND (2) turning right from Winter onto Chateau away from Cumberland. The high bushes on the corner house may attribute to the "blind" aspect of the situation. Every time a driver comes to the intersection, no matter how slowly and carefully, there is a possibility of being hit because the other driver coming from the opposite direction may not be as careful and diligent. It is never a good idea to leave an intersection without any controls such that everyone's safety is dependent upon the careful attention of the OTHER driver. There really should be a four -way stop at this intersection. A minimum of a two -way stop would be beneficial; however, much less effective. For example, the two -way stop at Cumberland and Via Escuela is inadequate because people coming to the stop sign on Cumberland expect that the cross traffic from Via Escuela will also stop. Over and over, drivers who have actually stopped at the stop sign proceed to drive through the intersection before the cross - traffic from Via Escuela has cleared. They seem surprised that the cross - traffic has not stopped. I have witnessed many close -calls here as well. It is unusual in intersections like these for there to by only a two -way stop; four -way is the norm. Giving drivers what they expect leads to safer intersections -- safer intersections in our neighborhood would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, the intersection at Winter can be .quite busy since the school traffic comes through from Argonaut Elementary. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated!

I got that taken cared of (ie, police report and auto repair shop) , and I have a problem resolution to this. I believe this street should be a one -way only, similar to Aloha (one block away). This would deter people from making a 3 -pt turn and would use. the next intersecting street (name of street is unknown to me) Where.I parked for this incident to take place was in- between Hwy 9 and this unknown street. It does not matter if owner of the vehicle which touched my auto backed in to me without seeing my auto. If we make Oak a OW street (one -way) then the history of this fine city would be more preserved. Oak St. to me is a narrow street to make a U -turn or 3 -pt turn. I have done this safely but with traffic at both sides of my auto in the past - -2005. Sincere, M.

I have lived off Montalvo Road for over ten years. During that time, I have had numerous near miss head -on collisions on Montalvo Road. I am pleased to see that the City is taking action to address this. The basic issue is that a significant number of people use the opposite "lane" to navigate the turns in the road. This is not a surprise because historically there has been no lane designation on the road. After the City painted lane designations (dots on the road), the situation improved. However, the lane designation breaks down when cars are parked on either side of the road — parked cars shift the traffic toward the center and opposite side of the road and well beyond the lane designation. This situation is particularly dangerous due to the fact that in many places, where the road ends isn't all that clear and cars frequently park in the traffic lanes. When cars are randomly parked on both sides of the road, the road is so narrow that traffic shifts to avoid the parked cars and the lane designations are irrelevant. Emergency vehicles would have a very difficult time navigating the available road. When there are parties in the area, the useable road surface is reduced to barely one lane by parked cars. This is particularly dangerous because this often occurs at night. Whether the solution to parking is to designate some areas no parking zones or to clearly designate the parking areas and the road surface will require traffic engineering studies. Regarding the issue of raised dots, there are noise issues to consider. Possibly the City can use paint and see if that remedies the situation. If paint doesn't work, dots can be installed later. The clear designation of lanes on Montalvo Road is sorely needed. When you determine where to locate the lane designations, please pay particular attention to the affects of cars parking on both sides of the road. I have little . doubt that in many places the road cannot accommodate parking.

I'm very impressed with the 24 -hr turnaround in installing the knock -down sign and Bott's dots after Karen sent her first email. I look forward to seeing the flashing lights installed very soon. I also request the city to study the traffic congestion on Herriman Ave and come up with a long term solution.Heniman Ave is majorly congested during the morning and evening school hours, it will only get worse as more and more high school seniors drive to school. Some kind of grandiose plan would be required to solve the problem.One of our neighbors suggested two great plans: 1. Move the High School main entrance to Sunnyvale- Saratoga road which can handle heavy traffic (there is already a back entrance to High School from Sunnyvale- Saratoga road). - The advantage of this plan is the Heniman entrance can be used mainly by pedestrians. This will encourage majority of the kids in the "Golden Triangle" bike or walk to School. I can easily see this will reduce atleast 100 cars during the peak hours. 2. Align the High School entrance with Lexington Ct and add traffic signal to streamline traffic in the 4 -way intersection. After the bad experience we are very scared of letting our daughter walk or bike to School. My daughter and her friend were planning to bike to the Middle School but now both the girls and the parents are scared to let them do it. We can't help but add to the traffic mess by driving them to School. We only live 1 -2 blocks away from High School. Unless the street crossing on Heriman is made very safe, we will be very apprehensive of letting them walk even to High School.

I'm glad to see that knock down sign is installed in the crosswalk on Hen-iman Ave and Lexington Ct. The other plan to install Bott's dot is not sufficient to solve the problem. Installing the flashing light pedestrian crossing will be more effective. When pedestrians want to cross the road, they can press a button that will cause the lights to flash along the crosswalk. The flashing lights will actually convey the intention of a pedestrian to cross the road and will alert the drivers from a distance that a pedestrian is getting down to the crosswalk. This will also work well in the night. The mechanism is similar to the walk sign at the traffic lights. Kids are more familiar with it and it will help the kids to stop and wait for the lights to flash before getting on to the crosswalk, giving them an extra opportunity to look both sides. I have seen the flashing lights installed along the crosswalk on Miller Ave in Cupertino near Miller Middle School and being more effective in giving the pedestrians the right of way. I'm also told that the streets near the schools in the city of San Jose have flashing lights installed along the crosswalk. I hope the city council will take the extra step to make the roads safe for our kids to walk to School. The more kids walk to School, the less cars on the road. Herriman Ave is a major thoroughfare for the Saratoga High, Redwood Middle and Foothill Elementary schools, investing in making the road safe will be a great benefit for the residents.

The Council is to be commended for its rapid response in installing the Botts' Dots and knock down signs at multiple crossings within the village. I am curious to know, however, why the much more serious pedestrian accident at the school crossing on Herriman Ave on February 5, when a ten year old girl ended up hospitalized at Valley Medical Center for more than a week, has received little or no official attention at all. In case you are unaware of the details of this accident, the child (who usually walks home with my daughter from Foothill Elementary, but my daughter was home ill that day) was walking eastbound on Herriman Ave along the high school around 3:30pm. Two cars were already stopped at the school crossing at Lexington Ct allowing a bicycle to cross. She assumed they had seen her, since one of them waved to her, and she entered the school crossing. Unfortunately, the other driver had not seen her, and hit the accelerator just as the girl entered the cross walk. The car struck the girl, causing a compound fracture of her lower leg. I found it odd at the time that the accident never appeared in the Saratoga News, but thought that might be because it was a child. The child involved remains confined at home, with the school district providing home schooling, because of the severity of the fracture. The paper described the school district's discussion of the accident, where the subject of a crossing guard for this school crossing came up. Foothill's principal was quoted as having instructed.her students on making eye contact before crossing the street. Every child has already been told that by their parents a hundred times - does that mean they do it consistently, every time? Of course not! They're kids. It is our job as adults to try and minimize the hazards around them while they gain the maturity to be consistent about safety rules. The consensus of the article was that crossing guards were expensive, and no official action needed to be taken. I drive through this intersection multiple times a day, and it is absolutely unsafe for pedestrians. I have pulled to the right (because I turn onto Lexington to reach my house) and stopped for pedestrians to cross, only to have cars pull past me on the left to zoom by, clearly paying no attention to the law that says they must stop. Crossing there myself, I frequently have to wait for multiple cars to pass before one will deign to stop to allow me to cross. At drop off and pick up time for the schools, it is a hundred times worse, with cars jockeying to turn left into and out of the high school parking lot, which is offset from Lexington just enough that no -one seems to know who has the right of way. Of course, this is the time that our kids, whether they are elementary, middle school or high school age, are trying to cross. If you don't believe me that it is this bad, I challenge you to come out and sit from 8- 8:30am or 3- 3:30pm one day (checking the high school schedule first to make sure they aren't on some alternate schedule that day, since it seems to change week by week just to confuse the parents.) Something must be done about this pedestrian crossing before another accident, potentially a fatal one, occurs. Botts' dots and knock down signs would be the minimum needed. Several school crossings in Cupertino have lights along them that illuminate in response to a button pressed by a pedestrian wishing to cross. I'm sure these wouldn't be cheap, but 4/5/2007 RE: pedestiah crossing on Herriman Page 5 of 5 neither would a lawsuit if you fail to act and another accident occurs. A four way stop, to encompass Lexington and the outflow from the high school parking lot might be another alternative. A crossing guard would also work, but'then next year the funding might evaporate, or there would be an argument over who was paying, and I could easily see this not being a long term solution. A final idea would be a side walk from Lexington to Saratoga - Sunnyvale Ave on the church side of the street, so the kids can cross at the light (this would not solve the high schoolers' problem, because you would never get them to walk the extra distance, but would help the kids in our neighborhood who want to walk to Foothill.) There is a push right now to get our kids more active, and moaning in the press about why kids don't walk to school anymore the way they did when we were young. I walked to and from school starting in second grade. We, however, had sidewalks, and everyone walked so there were far fewer cars on the road. My daughter is now frightened to walk home from school. Having safe school crossings for our children is part of our city's responsibilities, not just safe intersections in the business district. Please show that Saratoga cares as much for its younger citizens as it does for its consumers. Take action and fix this dangerous school crossing now.

I will not be able to attend the meeting on the 12th due to violin performance of my son. I will outline my concerns and hope you can make. I have lived in montalvo for the past 8 years and have the opportunity to observe the traffic on the monadvo road both by car and by foot. 1. The gate of montalvo is very oddly placed which causes near misses in both directions by cars, if at all it can be fixed it will be great. 2. The turn near the first house on the right when you enter the montalvo gate is a blind turn and routinely the service people park their vehicles on both sides causing a major traffic hazard. The road narrows down to a single lane. If we can limit the parking to only one side and install mirrors maybe we can eliminate just a bit of this problem i.e I would prefer to have no vehicles parked on the montalvo road. 3. Montalvo road is really not a normal residential street because of the historic landmark villa montalvo. As a result there is just too much traffic on the road which tends to not follow the speed limit as I literally got run over by a speeding driver at the blind turn that I mentioned above. This happened while I was going on my morning walk to downtown Saratoga. If we could have speed bumps that would definitely limit the speed of the drivers. I can guarantee that something bad is bound to happen on this road as I have walked and driven on this road at all hours of the day being a stay home mom. We also need more supervision by the traffic cops so that people are more careful. I have lived here 8 years never seen any cops. 4. Also because there are no lines dividing the two sides on the road, drivers tend to drive in the middle which also is a huge traffic hazard. I have had many near misses..I definitely support the markings for dividing the two sides of the road. Kristin I hope my concerns are coherent enough to add in your agenda, if not call me at 868 -9743. Thank you so much for being persistent I really appreciate it.

I have a couple of thoughts. The first is that if a traffic study is done, it needs to be before school gets out, and on days the high school is in session. The traffic counters need to know the school schedules and count at the peak times to get a sense of how it is on the worst days. For reasons I don't know, Wednesday mornings seem to be the worst, when the high . school starts later, perhaps because the folks going to the high school end up interfering with those of us returning from dropping kids at the elementary schools. Second, although I had some trouble understanding the first public speaker at the Council meeting at the time, when he was talking about a sidewalk on both sides of Lexington on Herriman, if you look at the corner, he has a point. It would be much safer for pedestrians if there was at least a sidewalk on the corner itself so there was a safe place to stand while waiting to cross, so that the cars doing rapid right turns onto Lexington and not looking where they are going don't run you down while you are waiting or on the close approaches to the corner. Visibility around that corner is poor, and especially if cars are parked there (I know it is a "no parking zone" but I've been watching and at least half the time there are cars parked in that stretch during school hours), pedestrians end up in the middle of the road as they approach the intersection. Thirdly, I believe that since the high school changed its car line drop off pattern to allow only a one way circle through their lot, traffic through our intersection has increased, since cars.go through once, turn left into the lot at the entrace past Lexington (causing cars to back up behind them while they wait to turn), then exit at the far end of the high school and often go through a second time on their way out to Saratoga - Sunnyvale. Perhaps this isn't the cause, but it seems like there are many more cars coming from the left as I am trying to turn right onto Herriman in the morning. I know this traffic pattern has been otherwise beneficial, but it may be having mixed results. 4/10/2007 Page 2 of 2 I know my former neighbor, Kathy Waite, asked about speed bumps on Lexington around ten years ago and was told that the city didn't believe in them due to "liability" issues. On the other hand, I've seen speed bumps going in on other streets in recent times. That should be considered in the overall plan. It would help the safety of the intersection by cutting down on cut through traffic, by making it a less attractive route to cut through. A non - safety issue, but to forward to the appropriate body would be the need to pave Lexington in the near future. They keep patching it, but with the amount of traffic it gets, the patches don't hold. Somehow Thelma has been repaved twice since the last time Lexington got repaved... hope to see you Thursday night. Thank you for looking into this matter.

It was my pleasure as well tallking to you. Know that I appreciated your phone call and efforts to deal with the City traffic problems. Sounds like you have tons of work lined up with all of the citizen requests for various traffic reliefs. I forwarded your email to our neighborhood email list so hopefully you will receive some positive input and some worthwhile suggestions regarding the neighbors concerns. In addition to the speeding and crosswalk incident experiences I mentioned to you, I would like to request that "speed bumps" be considered as a possible soulution to the whole problem. I dislike them; however, I know they work. While I believe speed bumps would alleviate some problems on Herriman, I know it may be difficult to implement the idea as there would probably be much opposition in the form of public protest and funding. The solution to Herriman may only be realized by strict law enforcement, but that is always an on going effort and subject to availability of traffic patrol. Speed bumps are always present with warning signs and definitely will slow vehiclar traffic, and may even give some protection to the crosswalks. Please consider the speed bump. idea for Lexington as a good remedy to the speeding problem to and from the High School. I do not suggest speed bumps like those on Elva off of 4th street, but rather the dual type which are quite smooth, highly visible and extremely effective. Two dual bumps would be needed on Lexington near the addresses of 13688 and 13749. This would provide for a much slower and safe speed on the street which would make those residents happy as well as those young and old people who walk on the roadway with their books and dogs. Another benefit might be less street maintenance. The heavy fast traffic may have contributed to the continuing pot hole problems; therefore, by adding the "bump" may well save some money in the long run. Just a thought... Please call or email if you have any question or comments.

Marianne and I are both very much in favor of these markers being installed. We've dodged enough cars driving in the center of the road, sometimes even having to stop. It appears that they will be installed only where there is impaired visibility; this shouldn't be a big deal. Bill & Marianne McDonnal 867 -0110 1 1'2 i1)00'7 C' January 31, 2007 Mr. John Cherborne Public Works Director City of Saratoga 13777 Fruitvale Avenue Saratoga, CA 95070 RE: Montalvo Road traffic markers Dear John, We, the residents of Montalvo Road in Saratoga, CA would like to petition you to permanently stop all work pertaining to traffic markers on Montalvo Road. As told to 015 you via Kristen Doyle and to Mr. Norman Kline, former mayor of Saratoga, we strongly �1 object to anything that makes our beautiful road look like a major highway. These jr </1 r markers were never requested by any of the residents on this road. We are aware of C speeders on this road, but as previously stated, we also know that the violators are not visitors to Montalvo, because most visitors are uncertain of where Montalvo is, and usually drive quite slowly. Rather we feel that they are members of staff or artists residents from Montalvo who are familiar with the road. These drivers will not be slowed down by the markers but will just avoid them. We further feel that it is the responsibility of the Montalvo Association to tell the former- to be aware that this is a neighborhood and to drive carefully. Mr. Kline told me that I would be contacted by your office as to how to proceed concerning this. I have not yet been contacted and know that there is a meeting in February. Since I will be out of town at that time, I am forwarding this letter stating our concerns. Thank you so much for your consideration of this problem and for stopping the work last fall and giving us a chance to respond to this. Sincerely, The Neighbors ot-Montalvo Koad 1 Signature Date PM4 1 M Printed Name r Printed Name I /v Printed Name 7&-- 7� 9-�� -v Signature Date fB a v fcj 0 Printed Name Signature ¢ Date Printed Name \ Signature Printe Name Signature v �- ,Z 0, Date Date ignature 1 ,j ( [) ILeft j Printed Name z II 1 Date � // / O Signature Date /.3 W; Printed Name 0 C) A) C N Lc, Signature .y \",et Printed Name Signature Printed Name // f- , Printed Name �"i" ft�46LII Signature Printed Name p Signature YJ, C., 4taLr4-1 Printed Name_ on lg v a.^r I V— I Wv£v) Date 11 �� it � C5-) Date �2—/ /— v a Date Z/(1 lv Date 2 I / li 10-7 Date b �b O J Q F 2 O 2 V 4 t�Ilf•• , Villa Montalvo Entrance Recommended Improvements Double Yellow w/ Reflectors QCross Road t�D I� ofa City of Saratoga Conceptual Plan Montalvo Road Improvements Figure 1 February 6, 2007 sF� sy� r ml�o N 1= Z f?

There definite is a spike in the # of cars during the peak school hours, however the 85th percentile speeds are 26 mph in the EB and 29 mph in the WB direction. Those vehicles that travel more than 30 mph are primarily during school peak hours, though the total number of speeders is low (a combined total of approximately 20 vehicles for the morning and afternoon peak).

I was expressing my concern about the speed of the traffic on Lexington traveling to Saratoga High School, particularly on Wednesday mornings at approximately 8:45 AM. Last Friday afternoon, an accident occurred on Lexington @ Herriman involving two vehicles at school dismissal time. I know you are aware that my 5th grade neighbor was hit by a car in the crosswalk at Herriman just a short time ago. Can we get some help out here on Lexington ASAP? I discussed the speeding issue with the new vice principal at Saratoga High a few weeks ago when I was almost hit while walking my dog on Lexington by a teenage driver in route to Saratoga High. That incident was on a Wednesday morning when Lexington becomes a freeway for late students and their parents. I have a child who walks on Lexington to get to Saratoga High and I am particularly concerned about his safety. I have sent a copy of this e -mail to Jeff Anderson, principal at Saratoga High. Any help the two of you could provide would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Here is the high school address where we meet for the event (9am to noon): 4805 Westmont Avenue Campbell, CA 95008. Although we are not doing this with the high school, many students come and help out. Students receive certificates signed by our Program for three hours of community service, which they can turn into their schools for credit. Some schools require community service for all students. The assembly spot is between the high school and Quito Rd, at the edge of Westmont's gated athletic field, next to San Tomas Creek. We will be easy to spot from Westmont Ave with our Clean Water Program banners and a set up of tables, snacks and tools for litter pick. The Water District already has us listed as participants for National River Cleanup Day, which is the same day (May 19th) FYI, Saratoga's stormwater pollution prevention program is also sponsoring a private Wildcat Creek cleanup in partnership with Sacred Heart School students, teachers and parents on Wednesday April 18th. We have don't this for several years now. WVCWP staff brings the treats and tools and the students clean up the schoolyard which backs up to the creek and then they go into the area along the banks of the creek and remove litter. I thought Ann might want to know this. One year the Saratoga News joined us and printed a cover page article with photographs. Kudos to Saratoga for having residents who care!

Upon the adoption of the 2003 MUTCD as amended with the California Supplement on May 20, 2004, the following language was incorporated in the California Supplement regarding speed limits (Section 2B.116, bottom of page 2B -51): "The speed limit should be established at the nearest 10 km /h (5 mph) increment to the 85" percentile speed. However, in matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community, engineering judgment may indicate the need for a further reduction of IOkm /h (5 mph). " [emphasis added] This is a change from the superseded Traffic Manual provision that allowed establishing a posted speed limit at the nearest five -mile -per -hour increment below the 85" percentile speed, and then allowing an additional 5 mph reduction for other traffic safety- related considerations. The new standard has already resulted in a legal challenge in Orange County, in which a Superior Court judge issued an opinion invalidating a citation issued on a street with a posted speed limit of 35 mph where the 85th percentile was 44.2 mph (Superior Court of California, County of Orange; People vs. Perez, Rebecca Dolores; Case No. FL727253; August 4, 2005). Referring to the above - mentioned section of the California Supplement, the court decided that the 85'" percentile of 44.2 mph should result in a posted speed limit of 45 mph (nearest 5 mph increment) which then may be reduced by another 5 mph to a 40 MPH speed limit (based on written and documented engineering justifications). However, the involved jurisdiction had used the prior standard of 40 mph (first 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed), and then had further reduced it by another 5 mph (as allowed by the prior standard, for conditions not readily apparent to the driver) resulting in the posted speed limit of 35 mph. The Legislative Update As this is written just after Labor Day, the TEA -21 reauthoriza- tion, which was signed into law in early August (after 12 continuances), will be the subject of two administrative bills Walt Stringer, providing legislative District 6Legislative housecleaning and Committee Chair corrective add -ons. The six year bill $286.4B, with approximately $228B for highways, $52B for transit, and $6B for highway safety programs. By FY08 the minimum guarantee to states will be 92 %. Earmarks include $16B for "high- priority" and $6.2B for those of "regional and national significance." Various other provisions and programs are spelled out on the site www.house.gov/ rules /109textTEALU.htm. Examples of new specialized transit programs include "Growing and High Density States Programs," "Small Starts Pro- gram" ($250M maximum), "Alternatives Analysis Program," "New Freedom. Program," and "Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands Program "; while most existing highway and transit funding programs continue with modifications. While most states around District 6 do not have legislative sessions in summer or fall, California's legislature is just that were not enacted may become two - year bills if sponsors desire, to be heard next year. The resolution of the state budget process in July has led the California Transportation Commission to finally begin non - emergency project allocations, with the August agenda being the heaviest in several years as delayed projects began to receive funds held for nearly three years in some cases. The Page 12 www.westernite.org court, referring to the above - mentioned Hamid Bahadori section of the California Supplement, found in favor of the defendant as in the judge's opinion the 85t° percentile speed of 44.2 mph should have been rounded to the nearest 5 mph increment (45 mph), and then it might have been reduced another 5 mph using "documented" traffic safety considerations. However, in this case, the judge also raised concern that the involved jurisdiction had also failed "to show justification for the downward adjustments of more than 5 miles per hour as discussed in People v. Goulet 1992, 13 Cal App 4th Supp 17." . Although there is concern that this opinion might have failed to consider that the engineering and traffic survey (ETS) for this highway segment was done prior to May 20, 2004 (the date of adoption of the new California Supplement) and the new standards should not be required retroactively; nonetheless, it has raised awareness among municipalities about the new standards and legal requirements for establishing speed zones. resolution of the budget does not make up for all funding held since fall 2002 (and project costs have increased for various reasons), but does allow many projects to move ahead again. To monitor the monthly agendas, visit the CTC's website bill also resolves a contentious issue over the San Francisco Bay Bridge easterly span funding by, among other things, increasing tolls on state bridges to $4 starting January 2007 (the Golden Gate Bridge is not a state bridge and already carries a toll of $5 unless using a transponder device). MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 2B -48 1. Size no larger than 2.5 in (8 ft) wide and 1.25 in (4 ft) high. 2. White background with black text having a primary safety message. Standard: A logo and any secondary message (along with colors) shall be agreed upon by the Task Force. The logo and secondary message shall not cover more than 25 percent of the.sign's surface area. The Department of Transportation shall purchase and install the S33 (CA Code) signs. Support: The Task Force is to advise the Department of Transportation, in writing, as to how long the signs are to remain on the highway. Guidance: This time period should not exceed three years. Section 2B.116 Speed Limits and Zones Support: Speed limits in California are governed by the Califomia Vehicle Code (CVC), Sections 22348 through 22413; also, pertinent sections are found in Sections 627 and 40802 and others referenced in this section. See Section IA.l l for information regarding this publication. . Refer to Section 2B.13 for speed limit signs. Refer to Part 6 (Section 6C.01) for speed limit signs in temporary traffic control areas. Refer to Part 7 for speed limit signs in school areas. Basic Speed Law and Prima Facie Speed Limits — See CVC 22350 & 22352 Support: The basic speed law states "No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." Standard: Prima facie speed limits are specific limits and shall apply unless changed based upon an engineering and traffic survey and signs are posted that display the new speed limit. Option: . Prima facie speed limits may be preempted by the basic speed law, when roadway, traffic or weather conditions warrant a lower speed. Use of Metric System Designations — See CVC 21351.3 Option: Dual units for speed limits on signs may be placed on local streets and roads in both Metric and English units. Guidance: If used, dual unit speed limits should be rounded to the nearest 10 km/h for Metric and 5 mph for English units for posting on signs on local streets and roads. Support: Refer to AASHTO's Traffic Engineering Metric Conversion Factors. See Section IA.l l for information regarding this publication. Standard: Metric speed limits shall not be placed on State highways. For use in this Supplement, 70 mph shall be shown as a metric equivalent of 110 km /h, neither of which shall be used on any local street or road. Legal Authority for Establishing Speed Limits Support: Delegation of legal authority to set speed limits on State highways is given to Department of Transportation's District Directors. The District Director of each transportation district is authorized to issue orders regulating the speed of traffic, up to 110 km/h (65 mph) on State highways. The Director of the May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 213-49 Department of Transportation retains the authority to approve variable, minimum, and maximum speeds up to 110 km/h (70 mph) on State freeways. 20 km /h (15 mph) - See CVC 22352.a.1 Standard: The following speed limits shall apply, unless changed, based upon an engineering and traffic survey: • At a railroad grade crossing with an obstructed view. • At an uncontrolled highway intersection with an obstructed view. • On an alley. 20 & 30 km /h (15 & 20 mph) - See CVC 22358.3 & 22358.4 Standard: The following speed limits shall apply, unless changed upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey: • Based upon an engineering and traffic survey where the prima facie speed of 40 km /h (25 mph) is more than is reasonable or safe. • Due to .a narrow street not exceeding 7.6 in (25 ft), other than a State highway, in a business or residential area or in a public park. • Near a school or senior center facility. 40 km /h (25 mph) - See CVC 22352.a.2 & 22357.1 Standard: The following speed limits shall apply, unless changed, based upon an engineering and traffic survey: • On any highway other than a State highway in any business or residence district. • In a school zone. • When passing a facility primarily used by senior citizens and contiguous to a street other than a State highway. • Adjacent to a children's playground in a public park, but only during particular hours or days when children are expected to use the facilities. This limit is effective when signs giving notice of the speed limit are posted. 40 to 100 km /h (25 to 60 mph) on State highways - See CVC 22354 & 22354.5 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • Whenever the Department of Transportation determines based upon an engineering and traffic survey that the limit of 110 km/h (65 mph) is more than is reasonable or safe upon a State highway, the Department may determine and post a prima facie speed limit of 100, 90, 80 70, 60, 60, 50, 40 km/hr (60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25 mph) whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe. • Local city council or county board of supervisors may conduct a public hearing on proposed increases or decreases to posted speed limits and the Department shall take into consideration the results of the public hearing. 40 to 110 km /h (30 to 65 mph) on Local Streets & Roads - See CVC 22357 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • Whenever a local authority determines based upon an engineering and traffic survey that a'speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph) would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street other than a State highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 40 km/h (25 mph), the local authority may by ordinance post a prima facie speed limit of 50, 60, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 km/h (30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 mph), or 110 km/h.(65 mph), whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.

A trailer bus. 110 km /h (65 mph) Maximum Speed Limit- See CVC 22349(a) & CVC 22349 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • On any highway, or portion thereof, posted at 110 km/h (65 mph) based upon an engineering and traffic survey. 110 km /h (70 mph) Maximum Freeway Speed Limit - See CVC 22356 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • Whenever the Department of Transportation, after consultation with the California Highway Patrol (CHP), determines based upon an engineering and traffic survey on existing freeway segments that are otherwise subjected to a maximum speed limit of 110 km/h (65 mph), or upon the basis of appropriate design standards and projected traffic volumes in the case of newly constructed freeway segments, that a speed greater than 110 km/h (65 mph) would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe, the Department, with the approval of the CHP, may declare and post a higher maximum speed of 110 km/h (70 mph) for vehicles not subject to CVC 22406. Variable Speed Limits on Freeways - See CVC 22355 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • Whenever the Department of Transportation determines based upon an engineering and traffic survey that the safe and orderly movement of traffic upon any freeway segment will be facilitated by the establishment of variable speed limits. • The Department may erect, regulate, and control signs upon the state highway which is a freeway, or any portion thereof, which, if used, signs shall be designed to permit display of different speeds at various times of the day or night. • Such signs need not conform to the standards & specifications per CVC 21400, but if used, shall be of sufficient size and clarity to give adequate notice of the applicable speed limit. May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 213-51 Minimum Speed Limits on State Hi2hways - See CVC 22400 Option: The following speed limits may apply: • Whenever the Department of Transportation determines based upon an engineering and traffic survey that slow speeds on any part of a state highway consistently impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, the Department may determine and declare a minimum speed limit. Appropriate signs giving notice shall then be installed on that segment. • A motorist can be cited for stopping or impeding the normal and reasonable movement of traffic unless the stop is necessary for safe operation and in compliance with the law. Engineering and Traffic Survey Support: CVC Section 627 defines the term "Engineering and traffic survey" and lists its requirements. Standard: An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of all of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. Guidance: The Engineering and Traffic Survey should contain sufficient information to document that the required three items of CVC Section 627 are provided and that other conditions not readily apparent to a motorist are properly identified. Prevailing speeds are determined by a speed zone survey. A speed zone survey should include: • The intent of the speed measurements is to determine the actual speed of unimpeded traffic. The speed of traffic should not be altered by concentrated law enforcement, or other means, just prior to, or while taking the speed measurements. • Only one person is required for the field work. Speeds should be read directly from a radar or other electronic speed measuring devices; or, • Devices, other than radar, capable of accurately distinguishing and measuring the unimpeded speed of free flowing vehicles may be used. • A location should be selected where prevailing speeds are representative of the entire speed zone section. If speeds vary on a given route, more than one speed zone section may be required, with separate measurements for each section. Locations for measurements should be chosen so as to minimize the effects of traffic signals or stop signs. • Speed measurements should be taken during off -peak hours between peak traffic periods on weekdays. If there is difficulty in obtaining the desired quantity, speed measurements may be taken during any period with free flowing traffic. • The weather should be fair (dry pavement) with no unusual conditions prevailing. • The surveyor and equipment should not affect the traffic speeds. For this reason, an unmarked car is recommended, and the radar speed meter located as inconspicuously as possible. • In order for the sample to be representative of the actual traffic flow, the minimum sample should be 100 vehicles in each survey. In no case should the sample contain less than 50 vehicles. • Short speed zones of less than 0.8 km (0.5 mi) should be avoided, except in transition areas. • Speed zone changes should be coordinated with changes in roadway conditions or roadside development. • The speed limit should be established at the nearest 10 km/h (5 mph) increment to the 85`h percentile speed. However, in matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community, engineering judgement may indicate the need for a further reduction of 10 km/h (5 mph). May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 2B -52 • Speed zoning should be in 20 km/h (10 mph) increments except in urban areas where 10 km/h (5 mph) increments are preferable. • Speed zoning should be coordinated with adjacent jurisdictions. Support: Physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to the driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning. Refer to CVC 22358.5. Option: When qualifying an appropriate speed limit, State and local authorities may also consider the following findings: 1. Residential density, if any of the following conditions exist on the particular portion of highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district: a. Upon one side of the highway, within 0.4 km (0.25 mi), the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. b. Upon both sides of the highway, collectively, within a distance of 0.4 km (0.25 mi) the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures. c. The portion of highway is larger than 0.4 km (0.25 mi) but has the ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway described in either subparagraph a or b. 2. Pedestrian and bicyclist safety. Option: The following two methods of conducting engineering and traffic surveys may be used to establish speed limits: 1. State Highways - The engineering and traffic survey for State highways is made under the direction of the Department of Transportation's District Traffic Engineer. The data includes: a. One copy of the Standard Speed Zone Survey Sheet (See Figure 2B-103) showing: • A north arrow Engineer's station or post mileage Limits of the proposed zones Appropriate notations showing type of roadside development, such as "scattered business," "solid residential," etc. Schools adjacent to the highway are shown, but other buildings need not be plotted unless they are a factor in the speed recommendation or the point of termination of a speed zone. • Collision rates for the zones involved • Average daily traffic volume • Location of traffic signals, signs and markings • If the highway is divided, the limits of zones for each direction of travel • Plotted 85`h percentile and pace speeds at location taken showing speed profile b. A report to the District Director that includes: The reason for the initiation of speed zone survey. • Recommendations and supporting reasons. • The enforcement jurisdictions involved and the recommendations and opinions of those officials. • The stationing or reference post in kilometers (mileage) at the beginning and ending of each proposed zone and any intermediate equations. Location ties must be given to readily identifiable physical features. City and County Through Highways, Arterials, Collector Roads and Local Streets. May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 2B -53 a. The short method of speed zoning is based on the premise that a reasonable speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of the majority of motorists, and that by measuring motorists' speeds, one will be able to select a speed limit that is both reasonable and effective. Other factors that need to be considered include but are not limited to: the most recent two -year collision record, roadway design speed, safe stopping sight distance, superelevation, shoulder conditions, profile conditions, intersection spacing and offsets, commercial driveway characteristics, and pedestrian traffic in the roadway without sidewalks. b. Determination of Existing Speed Limits -Figures 213-105 & 2B -106 show samples of data sheets which may be used to record speed observations. Specific types of vehicles may be tallied by use of letter symbols in appropriate squares. In most situations, the short form for local streets and roads will be adequate; however, the procedure . used on State highways may be used at the option of the local agency. Guidance: The factors justifying a reduction below the 85`h percentile speed for the posted speed limit are the same factors mentioned above. Whenever such factors are considered to establish the speed limit; they should be documented on the speed zone survey or the accompanying engineering report. . The establishment of a speed limit of more than 10 km/h (5 mph) -below the 85`h percentile speed should be done with great care as studies have shown that establishing a speed limit at less than the 85`h percentile generally results in an increase in accident rates; in addition, this may make violators of a disproportionate number of the reasonable majority of drivers. Support: Generally, the most decisive evidence of conditions not apparent to the motorist surface in accident histories. Speed limits are established at or near the 85`h percentile speed, which is defined as that speed at or below which 85`h percent of the traffic is moving. The 85`h percentile speed is often referred to as the critical speed. Pace speed is defined as the 16 km/h (10 mph) increment of speed containing the largest number of vehicles (See Figure 213-104). The lower limit of the pace is plotted on the Speed Zone Survey Sheets as an . aid in determining the proper zone limits. Speed limits higher than the 85`h percentile are not generally considered reasonable and prudent. Speed limits below the 85`h percentile do not ordinarily facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and require constant enforcement to maintain compliance. Speed limits established on the basis of the 85`h percentile conform to the consensus of those who drive highways as to what speed is reasonable and prudent, and are not dependent on the judgement of one or a few individuals. The majority of drivers comply with the basic speed law. Speed limits set at or near the 85`h percentile speed provide law enforcement officers with a limit to cite drivers who will not conform to what the majority considers reasonable and prudent. Further studies show that establishing a speed limit at less than the 85`h percentile (Critical Speed) generally results in an increase in accident rates. Option: When roadside development results in traffic conflicts and unusual conditions which are not readily apparent to drivers, as indicated in collision records, speed limits somewhat below the 85`h percentile may be justified. Concurrence and support of enforcement officials are necessary for the successful operation of a restricted speed zone. Guidance: Speed zones of less than 0.8 km (0.5 mi) and short transition zones should be avoided. Speed Traps Support: Refer to CVC 40802 for Speed Traps. Standard: A speed trap shall not apply to a local street, road, or school zone. May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 Califomia Supplement Page 2B -54 A section of highway shall be defined as a speed trap if the prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey within five years, and the enforcement of the speed limit involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects. This time provision shall be extended to seven years when using radar and all of the following criteria are met: • The arresting officer has successfully completed a minimum of 24 hours of certified radar operator course training. • The radar used to measure the speed meets or exceeds the minimal operational standards of the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, and has been calibrated within three years of the alleged violation. This time provision shall be extended to seven years when using laser or other electronic device (other than radar) and all of the following criteria are met: • The arresting officer has successfully completed a minimum of 24 hours of certified radar operator course training. • The arresting officer has successfully completed a minimum of 2 hours of additional approved certified training. • The radar used to measure the speed meets or exceeds the minimal operational standards of the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, and has been calibrated within three years of the alleged violation. Option: This time provision for an engineering and traffic survey may be extended to ten years when all of the above conditions are met and no significant changes in roadway or traffic conditions have occurred, including changes in adjoining property or land use, roadway width, or traffic volume as determined by a registered engineer. Truck Speed Zone on Descending Grades Guidance: Highway descending grades, if used for posting TRUCK SPEED LIMIT signs for trucks travelling downhill, should have recorded incident history of runaway commercial vehicles. Descending grades shorter than 1.6 km (1 mi) should be avoided for posting signs because deceleration of vehicles due to braking action can generally provide sufficient control on descending grades of less than 1.6 km (1, mi). Support: To establish a downhill truck speed limit, a physical profile showing length and gradient and a downhill speed profile for three or more axle commercial vehicles with a gross rating of 4,536 kg (10,0001bs.) or more will be provided. Standard: Speed profiles for truck speed limits shall be prepared on the same form as other speed surveys. An analysis of collisions involving trucks shall be prepared. Guidance: Posted speeds should be on the low side of the scale, generally within the pace of loaded commercial vehicles. Standard: If warranted, the Department of Transportation's District Director shall issue a standard speed zone order. Support: Posting of the regulation will be by placement of a standard 900 x 1150 mm (36 x 45 in) Speed Limit (R2 -1) sign with a TRUCK (M4 -4) plate above. Standard: A standard End Speed Limit (CA Code 113) sign with TRUCK (M4 -4) plate shall be posted at the end of the truck zone when appropriate. May 20, 2004 MUTCD 2003 California Supplement Page 2B -55 Speed Zones in Temporary Traffic Control Areas Support: For signing and establishing speed zones in temporary traffic control areas, refer to Section 6C.0.1 in Part 6. Section 2B.117 Bus and Truck Registration Sign (CA Code SR441 Guidance: The Bus and Truck Registration (CA Code SR44) sign should be placed at all Border Inspections Stations to relay this information to Interstate carriers. Section 2B.118 Double Fine Zone Signs (CA Code SR53, SR54 and SR55) Standard: The SPECIAL DRIVING ZONE BEGINES HERE — DOUBLE FINE ZONE (CA Code SR53) sign shall be placed at the beginning of those portions of highways designated and.identified as Safety Enhancement — Double Fine Zones per CVC 42010. The SPECIAL DRIVING ZONE ENDS HERE (CA Code SR55) sign shall be placed at the end of those portions of highways designated and identified as Safety Enhancement — Double Fine Zones per CVC 42010. Guidance: The DOUBLE FINE ZONE (CA Code SR54) sign should be placed at major intersections to those, portions of highways designated and identified as Safety Enhancement — Double Fine Zone, per CVC 42010, to advise motorists upon entering the highway that they are in a double fine zone. Section 2B.119 Garbage Prohibition Signs (CA Code SR22 -1 and SR23 -1) Option: The DUMPING PROHIBITED (CA Code SR22 -1) sign may be placed at State highway facilities where unauthorized dumping of materials or garbage is prevalent. The NO HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE (CA Code SR23 -1) sign may be placed at State highway facilities where refuse containers provided for motorist convenience are being used to dispose of excessive amounts of household garbage.
