River Oaks Neighborhood Association Board Meeting

Thursday April 17, 2008

6:30 PM @ Premier Pizza, River Oaks

Meeting with Veronica Kortright to discuss traffic situation on ROP

    1. Crosswalk across River Oaks Parkway (ROP) between Seely and Research in order to access the creek trail:

        1. Conduct crosswalk study at Millbrook/ROP during noon time when there is high ped activity

    2. Install protected left turn signal at ROP/Zanker:

        1. Forward to Signal Design and DOT Planning/Development

        2. The loop in the left turn pockets on the north leg is not sensing vehicles - forward to Signal Operations

    3. Motorists from Cisco Wy make right turn and then U-turn around the median island to get back on eastbound ROP:

        1. Residents supportive of traffic signal - forward to DOT Planning/Development

        2. Request TEU enforcement

        3. TEU website/link: https://www.sjpd.org/_forms/TEU_Request_Form.asp

    4. All way stop study at ROP/Research Pl. Motorists are not yielding to pedestrians at the crosswalk. Textured crosswalks at this intersection are hard to see:

        1. Conduct all way stop study

        2. Request TEU enforcement at intersection

        3. Field check for crosswalk visibility

    5. Close off Seely at ROP, eliminate cut-through traffic. This would also improve the traffic-spacing in morning/evening commute, currently the Seely stop sign spaces out cars on ROP just enough to make crossing or entering the traffic flow difficult:

        1. Residents did not want to close Seely but are more concerned with not being able to get out of their driveways in the morning because of the constant flow of traffic from the all way stop at Seely/ROP

        2. Residents are concerned that with future developments in the area, traffic will increase and it would be even harder for them to exit their driveways - forward to DOT Planning/Development

        3. Residents are concern with motorists not yielding to pedestrians at this all way stop controlled intersection - request TEU enforcement

    6. Install audible pedestrian signal and other disabled person improvement around the area:

        1. Forward to Signal Operations request for audible pedestrian signal at ROP/Zanker

        2. RONA to give locations of where wheel chair ramps are missing

        3. RONA is concern that when streets are resurfaced, the elevation of the street increases making it difficult for wheel chair users to cross the street (the resident mentioned Downtown as example) - forward to Pavement Engineering

    7. Install permanent speed radar display sign:

        1. Existing signs are installed at school locations through a grant

        2. RONA wanted to know if developers can fund and install these devices on ROP because of the future developments coming into the neighborhood - forward to DOT Planning/Development

    8. Request DOT contacts:

        1. See attachment: Contacts

        2. Additionally:

            1. ITS/Signal Operations - Joel Roque 975-3225

            2. Signal Design - Amy Olay 975-3283

            3. Local Planning/Development - Zahir Gulzadah 975-3257

            4. Pavement Engineering - Amanda Lei 277-5516

    9. Commercial trucks park on Village Center Dr at ROP:

        1. DOT to investigate

    10. Construction trucks going through the neighborhood instead of arterials:

        1. Forward to Public Works

    11. Sign on Montague Expressway regarding improvements that are already completed:

        1. Darren to contact County for removal
