6.1.G. - Page 4 Staff from Fire Station 11 tested response times with the one-way configuration and did not have a preference on the direction of traffic on Scott Avenue. Given that there was not a strong consensus around this project, and taking into account recommendations from TJKM, Engineering staff recommend a pilot program that makes Scott Avenue one-way while Flynn remains two-way. The pilot would change the configuration of Scott Avenue from two-way to one-way operation in the eastbound direction. Flynn Avenue would remain a two-way street as it is today. Staff recommends a four-month pilot in 2018, after which staff will evaluate whether this configuration should be made permanent. Traffic volumes, speeds, and Redwood Village community feedback will be considered in making this determination. Next Steps The plan development process, as well as the recommended improvements, are described in the NSEP Implementation Plan that is posted on the project website (www. redwood citv.orq/livable). The Plan's Executive Summary is attached along with the list of high priority, near-term and long-term projects. If, through the process of final design, some priority projects are determined unfeasible, the next highest scoring near-term project will be added to the priority project list. Likewise, if during final design, it is determined that there is not adequate funds for all of the priority projects, they will be funded in the order in which they have been ranked. Engineering staff has also augmented the Stanford funding with a grant from the C/CAG Safe Routes to School - Green Infrastructure Pilot Project Program. This grant funding will fund stormwater treatment in conjunction with some priority projects near Taft Elementary School and will offset some of the project costs. The City will continue to seek other funding sources to supplement the Stanford funds where appropriate. Some of the projects in the Plan are within the jurisdiction of the County of San Mateo and some share jurisdiction between the County and the City. The County has been a partner in this ten-month planning process and supports the Plan. If approved by City Council, the Plan will go to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors for approval as well. If approved by City Council and the County Board of Supervisors, the City will initiate implementation of the plan. Key milestones include: • Complete design of priority projects (late 2018) • Construction (2019) It is expected that City Council approval will be required to award both the design and construction contracts. During design and construction, City staff will continue to use the website www.redwoodcitv.orq/livable and neighborhood communications to provide updates on the program status and project construction.
