· Outside edge lines, which narrowed the travel lanes and provided more space for <br />parked vehicles, and <br />· A high friction surface around the Jefferson Avenue curve to reduce the <br />likelihood of vehicles losing control there. <br /> <br />Figure 1: Project Area <br /> <br /> <br />Unfortunately, speed-related collisions continued in 2014. The City Council <br />reconsidered the project in January 2015 and opted to proceed on a trial basis. For <br />most segments of the corridor, the pilot configuration has one lane of traffic in each <br />direction, a two-way left-turn lane and bicycle lanes. Installation of the pilot <br />reconfiguration was completed in September 2015, and was scheduled to last for 1 <br />year. Following extensive feedback received at a community meeting in November 2015 <br />and City Council guidance in January 2016, the pilot design was modified in April 2016. <br />The most notable changes made at that time were to the lane merges after Alameda de <br />las Pulgas and after Emerald Hill Road. <br />Project Goals <br />The primary goal of the project is to increase the safety of all roadway users. This <br />roadway design was selected with several traffic-engineering principles in mind that <br />support a safer roadway. Three key principles are noted below, and others are <br />examined in the attached report: <br />8.A. - Page 2
