West Las Positas Transportation/Traffic Project West Las Positas Traffic Calming Residents along West Las Positas (between Fairlands Elementary School and Staples Ranch) have called for concerns about speeding.

An initial public meeting was held on December 5, 2018, to describe the program. A steering committee was created in December of 2018 and several steering committee meetings were held in 2019. A draft plan was completed in fall 2019 and petitions provided to the steering committee for circulation. Resident support by way of petition is required to bring improvement plan to the City Council for adoption. 43 • Status Completed • Next Steps/Details: A second petition was provided to the steering committee for the installation of radar speed signs in Fall 2019.
