Page 26 Data was also collected on the number of people riding bikes, walking along the street, and crossing the street during the morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM) peak periods. One of the City’s traffic data consultants videotaped the intersections of Farm Hill Boulevard with Emerald Hill Road, Glennan Drive, Jefferson Avenue, and McGarvey Avenue and then reviewed the footage to count the number of people walking and biking at the study intersections. SamTrans’ buses are equipped with automated passenger counters that track how many people get on an off a bus at each stop along the bus’s route. SamTrans provided on/off data for stops within the pilot corridor to the City for the months of May 2015 and May 2016. Outcomes: Complete Street Design Table 26 describes the facilities for different modes of transportation on Farm Hill Boulevard between Jefferson Avenue and McGarvey Avenue before and during the pilot. This location is representative of the corridor. Table 26: Description of Design by Mode Mode Pre-Pilot Post-Pilot Walking  Continuous sidewalks  Buffer between moving traffic and sidewalk provided by parking and/or bicycle lanes  Crossing the street requires crossing four lanes of vehicle traffic  Yield symbols (“shark teeth”) in advance of uncontrolled crosswalks  Continuous sidewalks  Buffer between moving traffic and sidewalk provided by parking and/or bicycle lanes  Reduced the number of lanes crossing from four lanes to three lanes of vehicle travel way  Yield symbols (“shark teeth”) in advance of uncontrolled crosswalks  Painted pedestrian refuge island Transit  Combination of red zones and pole stops  Passengers going to a bus stop across the street requires crossing four lanes of vehicle traffic  Combination of red zones and pole stops  Reduced the number of lanes crossed for passengers going to a bus stop across the street from four lanes to three lanes of vehicle traffic Bicycling  Shared travel lane with “sharrow” roadway markings  Striped shoulder used as de facto bike lane when vehicles aren’t parked on-street  Bicycle lane added throughout pilot project corridor Driving  Two lanes in each direction  Left‐turns made from through‐left lane  Painted edge-line provided a small buffer between parked cars and moving traffic  One lane in each direction and a center two- way left-turn lane  Left turns made from left turn pocket or center two-way left-turn lane  Bicycle lane provides buffer between parked cars and moving traffic  Eastbound right-turn pocket added at Farm Hill Blvd & McGarvey Ave intersection Note: Additions/changes are bolded 8.A. - Page 37
