Council reviews Brian's Way safety options after 2023 fatality; engineering suggests striping, delineators, study
Summary
City Engineer Christopher Fong updated council on traffic-safety measures for Brian's Way after a 2023 fatality. He said earlier speed-feedback signs and raised 'bot dots' failed; options discussed included edge-line striping (~$20,000), delineators (~$41 each), rubberized speed bumps and possible larger interventions requiring further study.
City Engineer Christopher Fong briefed the council on safety measures taken along Brian's Way after a serious incident in late 2023 and presented options for additional work.
Fong said speed-feedback signs and raised 'bot dots' installed earlier did not perform well and were removed; he outlined possible measures including white edge-line striping (an initial estimate of about $20,000), standalone delineators (about $41 each), and rubberized or more substantial speed humps. Council members recommended evaluating lower-cost rubberized options and asked staff to research durability, installation, and cost; one council member urged a feasibility and traffic study before committing to a larger $145,000 funding request for a separate West A Street turn-pocket project discussed later in the meeting.
