This Thursday, the Traffic Commission will be considering for action improvement proposals by Kimley-Horn and Associates, for the intersection area of Rush-Angelus-Delta. This company gave an excellent presentation back at our June 26th meeting - which not many local residents saw, regrettably - and they have some interesting ideas for a three-stage improvement in that area. I am enthusiastic about some, skeptical about others, but am looking forward to their presentation and, I stress, hearing the reaction of local residents and school parents to these ideas. The Commission is expected to make a recommendation for action to the City Council at this meeting, so I hope that all concerned parties will come, hear the ideas, and express their opinions and observations, to help us make the best decisions possible to help resolve this complex traffic issue.
Also, we will be reviewing the results of a traffic study of Delta and Earle, between Mission and Wells, where there are speeding issues, among other things. As a part of this, we will be considering recommendations regarding a citywide neighborhood traffic calming program, possibly to include introducing speed humps/bumps to residential areas, something that many residents have inquired about.
Lastly, we will be making decisions regarding traffic study priorities for the upcoming year; some possibilities include citywide truck routes, crossing guard locations, guidelines for protected/permissive signals and neighborhood traffic management/improvement options.
Hope to see you there!
10/02 Traffic Commission:
As always, I encourage the residents most directly impacted by each of these matters to attend the traffic commission meeting and be heard. Speaking doesn't guarantee you'll get the result you want, but it certainly increases your odds.
