Traffic Calming 62. The Preserve I Transportation/Traffic Project Staff received calls from concerned residents regarding speeding along Laurel Creek Drive between Stoneridge Drive and Dublin Canyon Road. As a result, Laurel Creek Drive was added to the list of streets to be evaluated for the City's Traffic Calming Program. In 2015, Laurel Creek Drive was identified as the street with the greatest need for traffic calming. A steering committee was created to develop a plan for the neighborhood. The plan was presented to and approved by City Council on Nov. 15, 2016. The plan includes a right turn restriction (installed Nov. 23, 2016) from Dublin Canyon on to Laurel Creek and two radar speed signs to provide a reminder to those using the roadway that the posted limit is 25 miles per hour. Staff conducted two after-implementation studies in January and March 2017 to determine the effectiveness of the turn restriction sign. The analyses showed that drivers continue to cut through and speed on Laurel Creek Drive. The Steering Committee circulated a petition to the neighbors to permanently close the Laurel Creek entrance at Dublin Canyon. The required signatures (67 percent of effected homes) were gathered and the request to close the entrance will be presented to City Council in February 2018. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Present petition for closure of Laurel Creek Drive entrance at Dublin Canyon to City Council in February 2018. 63. Black Avenue I Transportation/Traffic Project In December 2013, City Council approved the Black Avenue traffic calming plan.

Phase 2, which included bulb-outs at the intersection of Black Avenue and Greenwood Road and a second speed lump on Black Avenue was completed in August 2017. Staff will conduct an after-implementation study in spring 2018. • Status Approved • Next Steps/Details: Complete after-implementation analysis in spring 2018. 64. Junipero Street and Transportation/Traffic Project Independence Drive In November 2015, City Council directed staff to meet with the residents of Junipero Street and Independence Drive to discuss potential solutions to their traffic-related concerns. Staff began meeting with the neighborhood in March 2016. Staff and the steering committee met through the summer of 2016 and developed a traffic calming plan which included traffic signal metering, radar speed signs, new crosswalks, speed reduction on Independence Drive, six speed lumps and a major modification to the arterial intersection of Bernal Avenue at Sunol Boulevard/First Street.
