CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when

Hi,
I joined the traffic safety meeting last evening regarding the safety concern I raised. I have some feedback that I
would like to share.
During the meeting last evening, I was unmuted once and was asked to provide
comments after the initial briefing by someone in the committee. I was under the
impression that this was going to be a discussion and I will be allowed to talk after that
for follow ups. Unfortunately, once I gave my initial comments, I was never given an
opportunity to share more facts in-spite of me raising my hand. The traffic safety
commission started discussing options and taking motions without giving an opportunity
for me to share my feedback on their decisions. I feel very disappointed with the format
of the meeting.
One of the recommendations shared by the commission was to remove the bushes and
quoted that there was a citation for the same in the past. Trimming the bushes has been
taken care of and has nothing to do with the issue at hand. The cars have been speeding
up (especially on the turn from Canyon view into 4th street) since there is no deterrence
of a speed bump or a stop sign. This is a liability issue for the city especially since it has
now been brought to your attention.
There has been an accident where one of the commercial trucks brought down an
electric pole in our home at the intersection (before we moved overhead PG&E utilities
underground) by driving too fast and some part of the truck got stuck in the wire across
the road). It was a dangerous situation where live wires were on ground and we had to
work with PG&E to take care of the situation incurring heavy expenses from our side.
The city may not be aware of this accident but it happened on Canyon view drive.
I wonder how the traffic study taken just for 2 days can be used to make a decision. Can
you disclose the details of the study? We want to understand the maximum speed that
was noticed these days (a histogram chart on speed and the # of cars needs to be done)?
I hope you haven’t averaged the speed as that defeats the whole purpose of the study.
I would request the commission to revisit the decision as well as to change the format of
the meeting to make it inclusive. If the decision was pre-determined and this was to
inform the resident of the decision, then why should the resident even attend the
meeting. The initial completion of the form should suffice in that case.
Is budget one of the constraints in the decision making process? Are stop signs/speed
bumps on Canyon View expensive to install? I am asking because I notice the
commission kept checking on the budget/amount to be spent to address this issue. With
the high property tax we are paying, this was a reckless decision without a proper
discussion and without considering the safety of the concerned residents.
Thanks,
Kiruthiga

#612 Padero Ave and Pierce Rd
Date Received: April 21, 2025
Requesting Resident: Glenn Hendricks
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Pierce Road at Padero Ave. The same issue occurs at Surrey
Lane and Pierce Road.
Description of traffic safety
concern:
When making a left turn onto Pierce Road from Padero Ave. there is an
unsafe condition. This is because vehicles stopped at Padero Ave. have
limited visibility of traffic coming from the right (looking up Pierce Road) and
vehicles coming down the road at high speeds. This make it difficult to turn
left on to Pierce Road in a safe manner.
The problem stems from limited visibility and high vehicle speed. This same
condition occurs when making a left turn on to Pierce Road from Surrey Lane.
Padero and Surrey are very close together.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
The recommendation is to install a Speed Bump to slow traffic on Pierce Road
uphill from Padero Ave. This would slow traffic down around the limited
visibility corner and improve safety for vehicles turning onto Pierce Road.
If the Fire Department has an issue with a Speed Bump because of Response
Time concerns – then perhaps we can just install a Speed Bump on the
downhill portion of this road. This would not interfere with the Fire
Department Response Tiem.
My neighbors and I urge consideration of traffic-calming measures to
enhance safety for everyone in our community.
Installing a Speed Bump at one location on Pierce Road will improve safety at
two intersections.

Additional Info: According to the City of Saratoga 2020 Speed
Survey, Table 1: Summary of Speed Survey Results; shows that Segment 20
and 21 both have a collision rate higher than the State average for similar
type roadway.

#613 Herriman Ave at Lannoy Ct
Date Received: April 25, 2025
Requesting Resident: Rohit DCosta
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Herriman Ave & Lannoy Ct
Description of traffic safety
concern:
High speeds on Herriman Ave coming down hill from the High School towards
Saratoga Ave have caused multiple accidents damaging property and creating
worry and concern from all who live on the street. Yesterday afternoon, a
high school student driving a tesla was speeding down Herriman after his
tennis practice on his way home. He lost control and slammed directly
into our neighbor's home.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Adding speed bumps on Herriman Ave by Camino Rico, Saratoga Vista, and
Beaumont Ave to warm drivers to slow down before the sharp turn.

#614 Big Basin Way
Date Received: April 27, 2025
Requesting Resident: Craig Awbrey
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Big Basin Way and 6th Street
Description of traffic safety
concern:
Hello: This is from an excerpt from an email I sent to Major Aftab.
I included videos and can send them along if you provide email addresses:
Thank You
I am sending over a request for traffic calming measures on Big Basin
between 5th and 6th streets heading westbound.
To give you a couple of examples, before I wrote this email I walked out of my
house at 14611 Big Basin Way about 4:50PM on Easter Sunday. Within about
5-10 minutes I recorded 2 good examples of what goes on every single
weekend on Big Basin way. The attachments show a photo of a car with an
airfoil racing through the stop sign at 6th street while people were waiting in
the crosswalk to cross. This happens all the time. A few minutes later I took
the attached video of about 4 sport cars traveling together at about 40-
45MPH between 5th and 6th streets, all revving their engines as they blasted
by.
The main problem, I think, is that these drivers are excited to race up to the
top of hwy 9 and are starting their acceleration after the right turn on 5th
street. They rev their engines and barrel through the crosswalk at 6th street
often in excess of 50- 60 MPH. No measures are in place to calm excessive
speed. I have another video of a tesla doing about 60MPH. I can send it
Page 2 of 2
to you if you want. Again, all of these examples are within about a 10 minute
span. I often see large groups of motorcycles doing the exact same thing. The
other day I was on Big Basin at 4th street and saw a group of about 8
motorcycles heading west, who together ran the stop sign at 4th going
around 25 mph. I think you get the point.
The bottom line is that there is a safety issue here and I hope it can be
addressed. I realize Caltrans has rules about what is allowed, but hopefully
something is done before a pedestrian gets hurt. My estimate is about 100+
cars a day are speeding between 5th and 6th street. I am available to help in
any way.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
Traffic Calming measures needed at 6th street and Big Basin,
between 5th Street, and 6th Street.

#616 Glasgow Dr at Beaumont Ave
Date Received: May 27, 2025
Requesting Resident: Nianhua Yin
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
Calle Tacuba
Description of traffic safety
concern:
I am writing as a concerned resident and parent regarding a serious traffic
safety issue at the intersection of Glasgow Drive and Beaumont Avenue,
located in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Saratoga, CA.
At this intersection, Glasgow Drive is the through street, and vehicles on
Beaumont Avenue must turn left onto it heading toward Argonaut
elementary school—making it a high-traffic turning point during school
commute hours. However, there is a severe visibility blind spot for drivers
from both directions. A particular concern is the house at the corner, whose
elevated front yard creates a sloped barrier that significantly blocks the line of
sight. Vehicles turning left from Beaumont often have to inch dangerously far
into the intersection—nearly into the middle of the road—just to see if a car
is coming from the left on Glasgow. Meanwhile, drivers traveling straight on
Glasgow cannot see left-turning vehicles from Beaumont in advance, leading
many to drive through the intersection without slowing down.
I have personally experienced multiple close calls at this location. I have also
heard from other parents about similar near-miss incidents. One especially
frightening moment I witnessed involved a parent and child riding bicycles,
attempting to turn left from Beaumont onto Glasgow, and they nearly
collided with a fast-approaching vehicle on Glasgow. It was a deeply alarming
moment, and one that reflects just how dangerous this intersection is.
Page 2 of 2
This route is heavily used during school drop-off hours, with hundreds of
children commuting to Argonaut elementary school each morning. The
combination of limited visibility, heavy traffic, and vulnerable road users like
cyclists makes this intersection a significant safety hazard.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
I respectfully urge the city to review the design and safety of this intersection,
and consider the following:
Installation of traffic mirrors or advance warning signs;
Addition of traffic calming measures such as speed humps or flashing
beacons;
Evaluation of the elevated landscaping at the corner property for potential
mitigation;
A school zone traffic safety assessment during peak hours.

#618 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd and Brandywine Dr
Date Received: June 1, 2025
Requesting Resident: Amitava Bhaduri
Street name and cross street(s)
where the traffic safety concern
is occurring:
The intersection of Brandywine Dr. and Saratoga Sunnyvale Road
Description of traffic safety
concern:
I would like to request the implementation of protected left-turn signals at
the following locations:
1. Left turns from Brandywine Drive onto Saratoga Sunnyvale Road
2. Left turns from Saratoga Sunnyvale Road onto Brandywine Drive
These changes are important for improving traffic safety at this intersection.
Saratoga Sunnyvale Road is heavily trafficked, and making a left turn from
Brandywine Drive is particularly risky due to short gaps in oncoming traffic.
Additionally, making a left turn from Saratoga Sunnyvale Road onto
Brandywine Drive is also hazardous. There is an opposing left-turn lane
leading into the Safeway complex, and when vehicles are queued in that lane,
it significantly obstructs the view of oncoming traffic. This makes it difficult
and dangerous to turn safely, especially during peak hours when straight-
through traffic is dense.
Suggestions to address the
traffic safety concern:
A few suggestions for improving traffic safety and flow in the area:
Page 2 of 2
1. Implement protected left-turn signals – These would reduce confusion,
improve traffic efficiency, and most importantly, enhance safety for both
drivers and pedestrians.
2. Consider installing a 4-way STOP sign – This could help manage traffic
more effectively at lower-volume intersections and reduce the risk of
collisions.
3. Install inductive loop sensors – Placing these sensors on key streets would
allow dynamic traffic signal control. Specifically, they could trigger a red
light at the intersections of Pierce Road & Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and
Blauer Drive & Saratoga- Sunnyvale Road, improving flow and reducing
wait times during peak hours.
