23 <br />PLEt1SANTONe CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br />July 17, 2007 <br />Public Works Department <br />TITLE: APPROVAL OF THE SYCAMORE ROAD AND ALISAL STREET TRAFFIC <br />CALMING PROGRAM <br />SUMMARY <br />City of Pleasanton and Alameda County staffs have been working with the residents of <br />the Happy Valley neighborhood to develop solutions to address the concerns regarding <br />vehicle speeds in their neighborhood. The City of Pleasanton has agreed to fund the <br />solutions identified in the Happy Valley Traffic Calming Plan. The plan includes seven <br />raised asphalt speed lumps and two electronic radar speed signs. The Happy Valley <br />Steering Committee has collected the required signatures indicating that a strong <br />majority (67 %) of the residents support the plan. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve the Happy Valley Traffic Calming Plan which includes the installation of the <br />traffic calming devices on Sycamore Road and Alisal Street. <br />FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br />The installation cost of the devices included in the Happy Valley Traffic Calming Plan <br />will be funded by the City of Pleasanton's Traffic Calming Program. The maintenance <br />cost will be paid through the Street Division's Road Maintenance Program and the City <br />of Pleasanton's Traffic Signal Maintenance Program. <br />The physical devices installed on Sycamore Road and Alisal Street will require minimal <br />maintenance. The Speed Lumps will need advanced warning and speed lump <br />pavement markings refreshed on an annual basis to ensure optimal visibility. The radar <br />speed signs will require routine maintenance which is covered in the Traffic Signal <br />Maintenance Contract. The street lights will be included in the County's street light <br />maintenance program. The estimated installation cost for the project is $80,000. Upon <br />approval, staff will coordinate the installation, order the materials for the radar speed <br />signs, and begin the PG &E process for adding the street lights to Alisal. <br />
