which option is selected, some of those funds could be used to supplement projects in these two affected neighborhoods. Commissioner Nagler inquired, for clarification purposes, if the residents of Junipero Street or the neighborhood would support implementing traffic - calming measures in the neighborhood today if the funding existed. Mr. Tassano replied that he did not know and that it would take a petition. He explained that some of the difficulty lies in the fact that people are not in support if the tool were placed in front of their home. He stated that if a resident does not want the traffic - calming measure in front of his /her home, then staff will go to the neighbor's house; and if they do not like it, staff will keep moving down; and if staff cannot find a suitable location, then staff concludes that it probably is not a big enough issue. Commissioner Nagler asked Mr. Tassano if he has had a conversation with that neighborhood recently to give him any sense of whether they would support the measure. Mr. Tassano replied that was correct. 3. The question of road width has come up, and Commissioner Balch stated that it is his understanding that there is a point where Junipero Street becomes a wider road. He added that he saw a lot of "No Parking" signs up on the other road being violated by a lot of landscapers yesterday and today. Mr. Tassano replied that staff has had this question on numerous occasions, so Traffic Engineering staff went out and measured each of those locations. He then presented some slides showing the roadway widths: 40 feet through Junipero Street as well as on Independence Drive, all the way down to Lund Ranch Road. He noted that Sycamore Creek Way was designed wider and has the bike lanes, with no parking on one side. He added that he believes there is no parking on either side closer down all the way by Sunol Boulevard, and that there are no other restrictions in the rest of that neighborhood. Mr. Tassano stated that 32 feet is a roadway width staff uses when there are under 1,000 vehicles per day. He noted that there are roadways that are 30 feet wide with parking on both sides, for example, Pleasanton Avenue, but the volume is such that if there happens to be a car coming in the opposite direction, the other car either yields or slides by. Commissioner Balch inquired if, under Option 3, gaining approximately 180 trips on Sunset Creek Lane and 260 on Sycamore Creek Way, a 32 -foot road width statement would exceed the 1,000 trips. Mr. Tassano said no. He stated that the current volume on the end is 100 trips, and Hanifen Way is 130. He noted that the volume increases as more vehicles come onto the roadway because there are more homes. He added that the highest volume count that staff had in the traffic report was about 580 closer to the end of the residential street, so adding traffic there on that distribution would bring it closer to that 1,000.
