Mr. Wilson responded roughly $175,000 to $200,000. Mr. Fialho commented that the engineering department has included in the public bid packet that the contractor install conduit at the two intersections in the event that traffic signals have to be installed. Mr. Wilson commented that another option is to install a speed signal similar to what is installed at Motevino. Ms. McGovern questioned why roundabouts were not installed near Foothill High School. Mr. Wilson responded at the time Foothill Road was built roundabouts were not a device the City was using. Mayor Hosterman invited public comments. Dan Carl, a Pleasanton resident presented data to Council which indicated information that traffic circles were not functioning as they were designed. While he was concerned about speeders in this area, he noted that the controlled traffic signal at Montevino has addressed the problem. He further stated that the traffic circles have contributed to 60% of accidents on Vineyard Avenue. Due to the concern for safety and the increased accident rate, he asked that the Council not delay this process. Mayor Hosterman closed the public comments. Mr. Sullivan concurred with Mr. Carl regarding the safety issues, which is his primary concern. He encouraged Council to proceed with the project in order to provide safety on the road. It was moved by Mr. Brozosky, seconded by Mr. Thorne to (1) approve the project plan, authorize the public bid and direct staff to include using Old Vineyard Avenue as a construction detour during the roundabout removal on new Vineyard Avenue; (2) to prepare a detailed accident analysis showing the types and locations of accidents; and (3) to prepare a detailed bid analysis outlining all of the costs associated with this project. The roll call vote was taken as follows: AYES: Council members - Brozosky, McGovern, and Thorne NOES: Councilmember - Sullivan and Mayor Hosterman ABSENT: None ABSTAINED: None Pleasanton City Council Minutes 7 04/18/06
