I ) Residents of Concord Street requested traffic calming measures to address speeding concerns that are present outside of school hours. The Concord Street steering committee has elected to install three speed lumps along Concord Street between Palomino Drive and Touriga Drive. In addition, curb -extensions (bulb - outs) are proposed at the intersection of Palomino Drive and Concord Drive. This will reduce the crossing distance on Palmino Drive and Concord Drive for school related pedestrians walking to Vintage Hills Elementary. It also requires motorists to slow down as they turn through the intersection. Currently, the steering committee is collecting the required petition signatures for the speed lumps and bulb -out proposal. 2) Community members of Vintage Hills Elementary School are concerned about safety going to and leaving school. The Vintage Hills steering committed developed the following plan to help ease commutes to school. a. Make available the rear entrance to the school. b. Grillo Ct — A new crosswalk will be added to the north side of the intersection of Grillo Ct and Concord Street. Additionally, a new crossing guard will be added to this intersection. c. A new school loading zone will be added on Concord Street in front of the school. This will be a time limited loading zone (ex: 7:30am to 8:30am, 2:00pm to 3:00pm). d. Southbound Concord Street will be reconfigured to have new vehicle queueing lane for school traffic and a through lane. The vehicle queuing lane will be added along the curb to the west side of Concord Drive roughly between Kottinger Drive and Reisling Ct. Vehicles queueing in this lane will either enter the existing school loop loading zone or the new school loading zone in front of the school. Because this queueing lane is along the curb, it allows motorists who wish to travel south on Concord to bypass school traffic using the through lane. Lastly, the intersection of Concord Drive and Kottinger Drive is being proposed for a three-way stop. This will improve overall safety and organization of the intersection. e. Another school improvement is the curb extension and bulb -out at the intersection of Palomino Drive and Concord Street, which was mentioned above. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Neighborhood Meeting • Applicant: Vintage Hills Steering Committee • Staff Contact(s): Cedric Novenario 53. Touriga Drive Transportation/Traffic Project Expedited Speed Lump Program The Touriga Drive residents have been part of two previous Neighborhood Traffic Calming Programs that included the installation of several radar speed signs. Speed lumps were proposed in both of the previous programs, but the speed lumps never received the required neighborhood support for installation. While speeds were reduced as a result of the radar speed sign installations, sections of Touriga Drive continue to experience speeds above the posted limit. Page 18 of 20
