TransportationCommission | 2012-11-28 | 11 | Staff Naclerio replied staff could look at that, but it will be expensive because it would completely change the drainage of that intersection. He suggested the Commission ask staff to look at additional options. One option would be to re-do the width of the travel lanes, but that may run into problems at a very busy intersection. Commissioner Bellows heard that people park there all day and if there was any way to create parking limitations (2 hour or 4 hour limit) to promote higher parking turnovers. Staff Naclerio replied their concern is when they install the curb extension they do not want to direct vehicles into it. They want to provide a way to direct motorists away from the curb extension to the center. Commissioner Bellows asked if the beacon could be moved more to the other side of the intersection. Staff Naclerio said the beacon is being installed in the curb extension that would be raised. They are applying an advance warning to the west and east of it. Commissioner Vargas asked about implementing Phase II and what is the duration of measuring the performance. Staff Naclerio recommended at least a year and to go through all the seasons to assess behavior. Commissioner Wong stated that staff mentioned prioritizing the list of the approval process so when would it be in the future or currently how would it work. Staff Naclerio felt that it could be done and he would start by suggesting the red curb for visibility and the restriping of the lane be done first. He pointed out that unlike item 5.A., this project does not have funding in place and staff would have to apply for grants. However, the community supported the Rapid Fire Beacons and that should be installed. If they do not find all the money, the speed feedback sign would be prioritized last and moved to the third phase. Commissioner Miley stated in terms of priority suggestions, the question to the Commission would be what two curb options should be prioritized. Either they move forward with the one with extension and lose a parking spot or not lose the spot. Commissioner Bellows moved to accept the loss of the parking space (option 1) because it would ultimately be safer and to go with the recommended approach. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0. Page 11 of 15 | TransportationCommission/2012-11-28.pdf |
