Lake Forest Drive left‑turn pockets to be evaluated in resurfacing project
Summary
Commissioners asked that signal timing be tried as an interim fix for school‑related queues and that left‑turn pocket extensions at Geronimo and Kenyatta be added to a future CIP and constructed during an upcoming deeper resurfacing of Lake Forest Drive.
Staff recommended adjusting signal timing near schools to reduce queueing and said left‑turn pocket extensions at Geronimo and Kenyatta have been added to the report as recommended items. The presenter noted a future deeper resurfacing/full‑depth reconstruction of Lake Forest Drive (Kenyatta to Serrano) will be the appropriate time to implement pocket extensions because of base failures in that segment.
Commissioners said they want to see data on existing incidents and level‑of‑service at the specific intersections so councilors can weigh safety benefits against cost. Staff said timing changes would be implemented first as a lower‑cost interim measure and physical pocket extensions would be pursued during the resurfacing CIP if timing proves insufficient.
