Annual Collision Analysis 2022 . . Summary, This report summarizes the collisions within the City in 2021 and analyzes trends and patterns to identify changes that can be made to reduce the number of collisions. Reported traffic collisions involving vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians are reviewed on a weekly basis by Traffic Engineering. The weekly review looks at individual collisions to determine if improvements can be made to improve safety. This report takes a comprehensive look at the one-year and three-year trends to identify larger patterns and improvements that can improve safety. Volume Trends The pandemic caused a significant decrease in vehicle traffic and a Traffic Volume Change corresponding decrease in overall 100% collisions.

Collision Trends The total number of collisions for the current year' was approximately 5% more than the prior year's number of TRENDS collisions (246 compared to 235) and 23% less than the ■Current Year ■Last Year ■Previous 3 Year Average previous three-year average2 of 319. The 5% increase is consistent with the slight increase in traffic volume from the previous year as traffic slowly returns to pre- N m pandemic volumes. The collision trends have mirrored the traffic volumes. There were two more bicyclist collisions this year (28rsiN m compared to 26 last year and 32 for the three-year — — — • • I average). Pedestrian collisions increased by one, with PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE TOTAL eight compared to seven last year and 13 for the three-year average. The decrease in collisions from the three-year average can be largely attributed to the decrease in traffic volumes stated above. 1 Reported traffic collisions that occurred between 12/01/2020 and 11/30/2021 are included in the"current year" 2 The previous three-year period is 12/01/2017 to 11/30/2020 Page 2 elevated paths where it crossed over the road and concurred with Member Negro regarding completion of projects. Member Maciel stated he preferred the proposed option better than the previous option. He suggested adding space to the bike lane. He expressed concern regarding pick up and drop off in front of the school and floating parking stalls creating more blind spots.
