Commission reviews I Street traffic survey, considers crosswalks and stop‑signs
Summary
The commission reviewed an I Street traffic survey (about 20% response) and discussed possible measures including a painted crosswalk, stop signs and targeted enforcement; commissioners asked staff to return with cost estimates for the budget cycle.
Commissioners reviewed a neighborhood survey related to I Street and noted a relatively low response rate from the immediate neighborhood (about 20%). Staff said the survey results produced candidate treatments — painted crosswalks, stop signs and safe‑routes-to‑school measures — and that Jenny will collect cost estimates and recommendations to bring to the council in time for the budget process.
Residents raised a safety concern at a section of I Street where a creek and redwood-tree grove lack a sidewalk; the commission recommended documenting the hazard with photos and submitting a complaint form so the city can track frequency and severity before prioritizing physical improvements. Staff said targeted enforcement by deputies remains an option while capital changes are budgeted.
