<br /> B( ) <br />pLEA.SANTONc City Council <br /> Staff Report <br /> October 18, 2005 <br /> Public Works Department <br />SUBJECT: REVIEW OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROLLED CROSSING AT <br /> PETRONAVE LANE AND ROUNDABOUTS ON VINEYARD <br /> AVENUE <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action at the <br /> meeting of October 18, 2005: <br /> 1. Direct staff to include a traffic signal controlled trail crossing at <br /> Petronave Lane as part of the conversion of Old Vineyard Avenue to a <br /> multi-purpose trail. <br /> 2. Review the traffic control options where two roundabouts currently <br /> exist along Vineyard Avenue and authorize staff to proceed with <br /> landscaping design work for the roundabout center islands. Revisit this <br /> issue after the pending court decisions have been finalized regarding <br /> Neal School. <br />SUMMARY: In the fall of 1998, staff received numerous complaints of increased traffic <br /> volume, speed and noise on Vineyard Avenue between Bernal Avenue and <br /> Montevino Drive. These complaints were driven by a combination of the <br /> traffic diversion from Stanley Boulevard due to lane closures and concerns <br /> about additional traffic impacts from the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan. <br /> In June of 1999, City Council directed staff to implement the <br /> Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program to address these neighborhood <br /> concerns. Prom the Traffic Calming Program, eleven recommendations <br /> were developed, and approved by City Council in July of 2000. <br />SR:05:293 <br />Page 1 of 8 <br />
