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