BLACK AVENUE TRAFFIC CALMING PHASE 1 <br /> BLACK AVENUE AT TANGLEWOOD COURT BULB OUT <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will install traffic calming devices along Black Avenue <br /> between Hopyard Road and Santa Rita Road. The City Council approved the Black Avenue Traffic <br /> Calming Plan on December 17, 2013. City staff and the neighborhood steering committee collaborated <br /> on a traffic calming plan that includes the following traffic calming elements: installation of curb bulb <br /> outs, curb ramps and crosswalks at Black Avenue/Tanglewood Court and Black Avenue/Greenwood <br /> Road; installation of a curb neckdown, crosswalk, curb ramps in front of the Aquatic Center; <br /> installation of 25 MPH pavement legends adjacent to existing speed limit signs; installation of one trial <br /> speed lump at one location; lowering of one radar speed sign to increase the visibility of the sign and <br /> modification of the existing striping at the west end of Black Avenue near Hopyard Road. <br /> PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Traffic calming devices have been shown to reduce vehicle speeds on <br /> local residential streets. The installation of the above traffic calming devices will also improve <br /> pedestrian visibility and safety. <br /> Staff will consider the future phases of the project as part of the 2015-16 Capital Improvement <br /> Program. <br /> PROJECT COST ESTIMATE <br /> Item Cost Funding Source Total <br /> Black/Tanglewood Bulb Out $90,000 General Fund CIP:FY 2014-15 $130,000 <br /> Neckdown $30,000 <br /> Speed Lump $10,000 - <br /> TOTAL $130,000 TOTAL $130,000 <br /> aP#: 145025 CATEGORY: Street RECOMMENDATION: Fund in 2014-15 <br />
