TransportationCommission | 2012-11-28 | 8 | page 7, Figure 2 of the staff report. He considered the extension problematic because cars are always parked around the area and the future development plan at 2001 Versailles Avenue would amplify parking demand. David Commerford, Alameda resident, approved of the restriping at High Street and Fernside Boulevard. He commented that the bike lane ends half way down the block and that would correct that issue because traffic is SO vigorous around that area. He did not believe installing speed signs would be an effective speed deterrent. Yet, he highly approved of the Phase III stop signs at Harvard and Cambridge because that it is a long and wide street. Moreover, he felt police enforcement should be extended past 5pm and there should be signage by the left-turn lane onto High Street. Warren Vegas thanked the City, Public Works Department and the Police Department for their work. He chaired the group that brought the petition forward a year and a half ago and he was speaking on behalf of the six residents that worked with staff to come up with a proposal for the community meetings. He noted that within the six-month survey, there were 6 accidents and 44 traffic tickets given on that block. Consequently, there are significant speeding incidents occurring on that stretch, which causes increased noise. Also, there is a bicycle lane and families residing around the street with children use the bicycle lane to ride to Edison Elementary School. He believed that speed feedback signs, the light at Versailles Avenue and restriping on High Street are important. Car mirrors are ripped off yet are not reported. Commissioner Vargas asked for input on the curb extension comments from Mr. Vegas. Page 8 of 15 | TransportationCommission/2012-11-28.pdf |
