Continue their duty as commissioners to recommend and work with property owners to add
eligible properties to the Heritage Resource Inventory, including an inventory of all the
homes, fences and trees along the portion of Saratoga Avenue that is designated as Heritage
Lane, for the potential addition to the City’s Heritage Resource Inventory. So far during the

a Landmark and Mills Act contract. There are currently three(3) sites for consideration to be
included on the Inventory. The HPC reached out to eight (8) properties during the current

these properties responded to the request and declined to be included on the HRI.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE:March 18, 2024
DEPARTMENT:Public Works Department
PREPARED BY:Emma Burkhalter, Associate Engineer
SUBJECT:Traffic Safety Commission Work Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Meet with Commission, discuss priorities and approve FY 2024/25 work plan with input provided
by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Saratoga Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) proposes the following work plan for FY
24-25:
1. Investigate, review, and analyze traffic safety issues raised by community members.
2. Refine the TSC process so that it continues to be more efficient and effective.
3. Provide a respectful space where community members are able to seek solutions for traffic
safety concerns.
4. Collaborate with schools and community members to develop the Safe Routes to School
Master Plan.
5. Promote education to the community and schools regarding traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian
safety, through public meetings.
6. Review projects on the Capital Improvement Project list and prioritize for funding.
7. Continue to develop a Traffic Safety Commission Handbook that is unique to the roles and
responsibilities of TSC.
2023 SUMMARY
The Traffic Safety Commission has regular meetings every other month beginning in January,
resulting in six regular meetings each year. In 2023, the Traffic Safety Commission met in the
months of January, March, May, July, and September, with a special meeting in August to review
ways to cut the TSC workload, and another special meeting in early November to make up for the
cancelled November regular meeting.
The traffic safety concerns reviewed by the TSC vary and include speeding, sight distance issues,
crosswalk safety, restricted parking, and pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The TSC gives
recommendations to the City on how to resolve the traffic safety issues. Often times, the
recommendation requires changes to the street or intersection to improve safety. Sometimes the
recommendations involve a simple striping project or sign installation, while others require a more
19
significant change, such as lighted crosswalks, speed tables, or permanent radar feedback signs.
Simple projects such as striping can take six to nine months to complete due to project prioritizing.
Projects requiring changes in infrastructure might take as long as two years to begin due to budget
constraints.
In recent years, the TSC has reviewed traffic safety concerns that require more comprehensive
solutions. This is mostly because these same streets have already been reviewed in previous years
and the incremental improvements have already been implemented but the traffic safety issues
have not been completely resolved.
Currently, the TSC is developing a comprehensive solution for Quito Road. Preliminary plans have
been developed and City staff will develop an outreach plan to communicate to community
members about the proposed changes.
The table below shows the 2023 traffic safety recommendations. (Note: The matrix does not
include vegetation trimmings for sight distance, directed enforcement requests, recommendations
that involved further TSC review, and items that resulted in no action.) Items identified as In
progress will be implemented through a road markings contract over the next several months.
