DISCUSSION Touriga Drive In early 2019, residents of Touriga Drive expressed continued concerns of speeding between Chablis Court and Palomino Drive. The residents believed that enough neighborhood support for speed lumps existed to allow for the Expedited Speed Lump Program to be implemented. Speeds were measured and found to be higher than the average residential streets and an Expedited Speed Lump Petition was created for Touriga Drive. The petition included three speed lumps between Chablis Court and Palomino Drive (see Attachment 1 for map). Collected signatures show a strong majority (72%) of the residents support the speed lump installation. Additionally, all of the property owners adjacent to the speed lump locations support the installation. Concord Street Concord Street residents approached the City Council in April of 2019 with several concerns regarding Vintage Hills Elementary School traffic circulation. Staff held a neighborhood meeting in April 2019 to hear the residents' concerns and better understand the specific nature of those concerns. Mailers were sent to the homes on Concord Drive to inform residents of the meeting, and signs were placed on both ends of Concord Street to provide notification to the parents and guardians driving to and from the school. Approximately 40 residents attended this initial meeting. While concerns were primarily school-related, several of the residents on Concord expressed concerns of high speed at all times of the day. Two Residential Steering Committees were created to develop draft circulation plans. One steering committee was focused on school-related issues (Vintage Hills Steering Committee) and was comprised of residents within the Vintage Hills Elementary boundaries, and the other steering committee (Concord Street Steering Committee) was focused on non-school circulation issues on Concord Street. The steering committees each met two times and developed draft solutions. The Concord Street Steering Committee elected to include speed lumps. Collected signatures show a strong majority (78%) of the residents support the speed lump installation. Additionally, all of the property owners adjacent to the speed lump locations (shown on Attachment 2) support the installation. A final neighborhood meeting was held in August 2019 to share the draft plans created by the steering committees and receive feedback on the plans. The advertisement of this meeting used the same process as the earlier neighborhood meeting (mailers combined with signs on Concord Street to inform residents of the meeting). At this most recent meeting there were 30-40 residents in attendance and most spoke about the plans. Nearly all of the residents in attendance were in favor of the plan, with only one resident in attendance stating they did not like the speed lumps (but they were fine with Page 3 of 4
