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. City Council voted to approve the closure at the February 2018 City Council Meeting. The closure was constructed in August of 2018. Staff is monitoring the location to determine the effectiveness of the closure. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Monitor roadway and complete after study evaluation. • Applicant: City of Pleasanton • Staff Contact(s): Mike Tassano 52. Junipero Street andI 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. The plan was presented to City Council in September 2017 and construction was completed in the winter of 2017 with the exception of the arterial intersection improvements. The arterial intersection design is underway (March of 2018) and design completion is expected in the spring of 2019 with construction to occur in late 2019. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Design (spring 2018) and construct (2019) arterial intersection improvements at Bernal Avenue and Sunol Boulevard/ First Street intersection.
