Hi Emma,
Brenda and I cannot make the meeting tomorrow night. I assume you would not delay our
Ravenwood agenda item. Can you let us know if the committee has any other safety measures to
look at? Maybe they will approve speed humps?
I attached a spreadsheet that has our neighbors names and the responses from a little over half.
Maybe you can just tell the committee that 50% plus people are OK with speed humps with most OK
with speed humps and signs placed at property lines.
Also, the key to the data is the following (and is in the spreadsheet):
1 = Yes; 0 = No; blank = no response yet
Thanks
Daryl

Hi,
I have been referred to you by my neighbor, Daryl Hoot, who has been speaking for the neighbors on
Ravenwood Dr, our street, regarding the solutions to speeding of Marshall Lane parents from Quito to
Marshall lane in the AMs and PMs and the safety of those families and children who both live on the
street and walk to school daily.
I, my husband and daughter have lived on Ravenwood Dr for 22 years. I have seen some speeding and
mostly not. We live at - 3 houses from the Quito corner, where cars might start to speed up after
turning the corner. As it can be problem, we do feel that the wide majority of school families do NOT
speed, so there is SOME, but not a lot of speeding, as the city has found. In today's sensitive world, we
do understand the fear of something like what occurred not far away in SJ a few years back (last year?)
happening wherein a child's death is due to a speeding car. We do understand Saratoga's preference to
not install speed bumps, as much as that might help. What we do not understand is the thought that
striping the road on both sides will be a solution. It is our feeling that this will be a more dangerous
proposal than leaving the street as it is.
Please consider NOT striping the street. Striping the street will produce 3 results:
1. The street will appear to be a busy street that handles a lot of traffic at all times and will provide the
drivers a feeling of moving at a quick pace - the opposite of what is intended.
2. The striping will provide the drivers a feeling of 'safe haven' to drive at a pace that is still unsafe,
however also leaving them with the feeling that pedestrians are now safe from their speeding as they
should be within the sides of the street opposite the striped lines.
3. The pedestrians most at risk = very young children who do not understand the limits of the "implied" flat
barrier will not be protected truly from the cars on the street. The stripe is s psychological 'barrier' at most
and young children's impulses do not factor into that - it is simply unsafe and not a smart choice.
Please consider these points. We had a young daughter at one time and would not consider the striping
a safe solution. We would worry more if she were told that a stripe would save her. Please. Please
consider the smartest choice.
Thank you,
Brenda and Rob Stribling

I cannot have a speedbump by the oak tree,
because that plowing to get the speedbump
in will disturb the growt and it is a heritage
tree, so I have to protect it for the city. Any
disturbance isn’t good for the roots of that
tree, but if speedbump could be put before
the tree or after the tree that would be
acceptable. I’m so close to Quito that I doubt
there would be a speed bump that close
anyway so I think the problem solved. Good
luck and thank you for all your work on this
project.

We can put your request on the September meeting in three weeks (9/14/23), as long as someone
from your street can be there to represent the item. Otherwise, it will need to wait until the January

Hi Emma,
First I would like to thank you for your help and support in getting our street (Ravenwood) safe.
I talked to some neighbors and people are not in favor of the bulb out since they are concerned that
drivers will speed after turning and the problem is still there.
At this point everyone seems good with speed humps. What can I do to get these? School just
started so I am anxious to get these in place if we can.
Thanks

On February 1, 2024, City Staff mailed surveys to the 27 homes within the Commission-
approved Area of Influence for the proposed speed tables on Ravenwood Drive. This mailing
included the attached cover letter to explain the traffic safety concern, the survey itself, and a
map showing the proposed location of the speed hump. By the deadline provided, 25 of the 27
surveys were returned, representing a 92% response rate.
According to the Speed Hump Process, moving to the next step in the resident-led column
requires a 100% response rate with 80% of respondents voting YES, and speed hump adjacent
properties able to veto. At this time, the results of the survey are 18 YES (72%) and 7 NO (28%),
with three of the four speed hump adjacent properties (18567, 18558, 1507, and 18510
Ravenwood Dr) having responded NO.
It is therefore recommended that the Commission deny the request for speed tables and close the
item.

Dear Resident,
The City of Saratoga Traffic Safety Commission was asked to review Ravenwood Drive and
provide a solution for the speeding that was occurring. The Commission recommended the
installation of two (2) speed tables, contingent on the approval of the residents in the determined
Area of Influence. You are receiving this letter and survey because you are within the determined
Area of Influence for the speed tables. The proposed locations of the speed tables are shown on
both the included survey and the included speed table plan, which also shows the proposed striping
and signage which will accompany the new speed tables.
Please complete and return the survey by February 29, 2024 using the pre-stamped envelope. The
results of the survey will be presented at the next Traffic Safety Commission meeting, on March
14, 2024 beginning at 6:30 pm, held both in person at 13777 Fruitvale Ave, Saratoga and virtually
on Zoom. The Zoom information will be located on the first page of the meeting agenda, which
will be posted a week before the meeting at www.saratoga.ca.us/agendacenter.
If you have any questions about the survey or the Commission, please contact the Traffic Safety
Commission Liaison, Emma Burkhalter, at (408) 868-1274 or by email
eburkhalter@saratoga.ca.us.
Sincerely,

#531 Pierce Rd at Houston Ct
Date Received: May 11, 2022
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Pierce road /Houston Court
Description of traffic safety
concern:
A couple of years ago, myself and many of my neighbors were successful in
having speed warning signs installed in an attempt to slow down traffic on
Pierce Road. Unfortunately, this has done little to slow the traffic. Not only
has traffic increased, but so has the speed of these cars. We have to get our
mail across the street, and it is dangerous during certain times of the day to
attempt to cross. I have never seen a patrol car on the street to ticket these
drivers, so speeding is not curtailed. What, if anything, is the traffic division
willing to do to prevent a serious accident from happening on this stretch of
Pierce Road from the corner of Houston Court to Surrey Lane? This straight-
away section is where all the cars pick up speed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
install a speed strip and leave it on site for two weeks to monitor the traffic
speed.... INSTALL SPEED BUMPS TO SLOW TRAFFIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#565 Farwell Ave
Date Received: June 29, 2023
Requesting Resident: Marilyn Danny
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Farwell Ave
Description of traffic safety
concern:
Speed has greatly increased in the last year! Farwell is a popular street for
runners, walkers, bikers, skaters, etc. It's also a major cut-through from
Saratoga-Los Gatos Road to Fruitvale Avenue... Definitely worse when school
is in session!
John Cherbone suggested we fill out this form to begin a study of our
situation, although it should have been done before the end of the school
year!
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Radar speed feedback sign in place... & probably time to consider something
like speed bumps? Other ideas?

#572 McCoy Ave
Date Received: August 16, 2023
Requesting Resident: Vassilios and/or Connie Chrysoglou
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
McCoy and Berwick
Description of traffic safety
concern:
No speed bump with all other speed bumps too far apart which enables cars
to speed down McCoy Ave. Blind spot on McCoy and Berwick due to the
allowance of a house that is being built almost up to the street on McCoy Ave
and huge trucks being parked there causing a huge blind spot.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Add a few more speed bumps or make it a four way stop on that section.

#576 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd at Kirkmont Dr
Date Received: September 15, 2023
Requesting Resident: Chandran Cheriyan
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd. & Kirkmont Dr.
Description of traffic safety
concern:
There is a pedestrian crossing on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd.near the Kirkmont
Dr. intersection. This is a very busy street with cars going thro’ at very high
speeds. It’s also an area with a fatal accident just waiting to take place.
Drivers don’t pay much attention to the crossing. I live in the area and if I
need to cross the street, I feel safer getting in my car and driving, instead of
walking across. There are many children in the area as well.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
I suggest the city install flashing embedded lights that come on as soon as a
pedestrian steps on to the crossing - as exist on other sreets in the city ex.
Saratoga Ave. & Herriman Ave.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when
opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders.
Hi Rick,
My name is Aaron Ells and I live locally and use Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road fairly often. I wanted to
make a suggestion for one crosswalk. The crosswalk is located next to Kirkmont Drive. I think it
would be prudent to add lights or something for when a pedestrian is crossing. I've seen pedestrians
run into trouble crossing with drivers not realizing there is a crosswalk there until there's a person in
the middle of the road. I think it may be the only crossing on that street without a traffic light of
some sort with it.
Anyway, I'm sure this is already on your radar, but just wanted to provide the suggestion.
Thanks,
Aaron Ells

#580 Cox Ave at Sea Gull Way
Date Received: December 11, 2023
Requesting Resident: Priya Shastri
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Cox Ave and Seagull Way
Description of traffic safety
concern:
There are a lot of pedestrians crossing the cross walk at the intersection of
Cox Ave and Seagull way. At night it is difficult to see the people crossing. I
request that we add the lighted traffic pole at the intersection, so that
pedestrians can click the button and the light allows the pedestrians to cross
the cross walk safely without causing accident concern. It is important to keep
the pedestrians safe from vehicles on cox Ave. Also pedestrians on their
evening walks need to be safe.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Please install a lighted traffic signal for pedestrian crossing which
predestrians can click and when it is flashing cross the
crosswalk.
Previous staff action: Received two quotes for RRFB installation at this location.

#581 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd at Sea Gull Way
Date Received: December 8, 2023
Requesting Resident: Simon
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Saratoga Sunnyvale Rd and Seagull Way
Description of traffic safety
concern:
Could you please add a pedestrian walking sign and traffic signal light on the
south side of the intersection between Saratoga Sunnyvale Road and Sea Gull
Way? Right now the three sides all have pedestrian walking sign and traffic
signal light, but the south side doesn't have. For pedestrian and biker who use
the Union Pacific Trail and need to cross Saratoga Sunnyvale Road, they have
to go through three pedestrian walking signal in order to do that. By adding
the pedestrian walking signal in the south side, they will only need to go
through one pedestrian walking signal, cutting the time by 2/3.
I see quite a lot of people cross Saratoga Sunnyvale Road through Union
Pacific trail without going through the traffic light, which is not safe. By
adding this pedestrian walking signal, we will see more people cross the road
through the traffic light. Thank you.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Add pedestrian walking sign and traffic signal light.

#582 Prospect Rd at Stelling Rd
Date Received: December 16, 2023
Requesting Resident: Harminder Narula
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Prospect Rd near S. Stelling
Description of traffic safety
concern:
Most vehicles driving south on S.Stelling make a fast rollover stop and most
vehicles driving west on Prospect Road just past the railroad do not slow at
the curve at the yield sign. Both these makes it a safety hazard for us to drive
out or into our driveway.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Please consider placing traffic lights.
Above is also safety concern for pedestrians and bicyclists.
