El Toro Road fixes: lane narrowing, speed feedback signs and phased medians
Summary
The study recommends speed management on El Toro Road through lane narrowing, speed feedback signs, restricted left turns at specific side streets and phased raised medians to improve safety; commissioners discussed phasing and high estimated costs.
Staff recommended speed management measures on El Toro Road, including lane narrowing, speed feedback signs, restricting left turns at Cornelius Drive and Jute Wood, improving visibility at San Diego Canyon/Live Oak, extending some acceleration lanes and installing a northbound left at Normandale Drive. The presenter said recent striping changes on El Toro have already been completed.
Commissioners raised questions about large, phased projects — notably a raised median example discussed in the transcript that was described with a $15,000,000 figure — and staff explained large items would likely be phased and paired with resurfacing projects to spread cost and gain economies of scale. The commission asked that the council packet explain phasing and cost reasoning for large projects.
