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 fall of 2019. Prior to the completion of the design, alternatives will be presented to the surrounding neighborhoods to receive feedback. • Status Under Review • Next Steps/Details: Design (spring 2018) and construct (2019) arterial intersection improvements at Bernal Avenue and Sunol Boulevard/ First Street intersection.

Vintage Hills Elementary Transportation/Traffic Project Vintage Hills Elementary Traffic Calming This project addresses two concerns for the Vintage Hills Elementary School community and surrounding neighborhood. 1) 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. Both the Principal of Vintage Hills Elementary and the Kottinger Ranch Homeowner's Association are receptive to this. Page 17 of 20
