6.H. - Page 2 of 7 conceptual street design to reduce vehicle speeds and to increase safety for all road users on Hopkins Avenue. Over the past eighteen months, the City's consultant, Kimley-Horn, in conjunction with City staff, developed a preferred conceptual design for Hopkins Avenue between Alameda de las Pulgas and EI Camino Real through a community -driven process which included opportunities for community feedback through online surveys, paper surveys, and community meetings. On February 20, 2018, the conceptual design was presented to the Complete Streets Advisory Committee (CSAC), who recommended forwarding the Hopkins Avenue Traffic Safety Project to the City Council for their consideration. The Committee supported the design as proposed, with the exception of the permanent medians, which they felt should be piloted first. A pilot would allow the placement of medians to be tested, to evaluate the median design before it is made permanent, and provide another opportunity for community input. On April 23, 2018, the City Council reviewed the conceptual design and considered a number of alternative design options. The Council directed staff to coordinate further with residents along the corridor to refine the proposed median locations, and to proceed with a pilot of the traffic calming project. On August 21 and 23, 2018, staff met with residents along the corridor and marked out median island locations utilizing resident input. The median island locations proposed within the pilot plans are based on the locations determined at those site meetings. ANALYSIS The construction of the pilot project is before the City Council in accordance with the process outlined in the Traffic Calming Policy and Guidelines, Resolution 15522. The pilot project includes the removal and replacement of pavement striping along the Hopkins Avenue corridor from Alameda de las Pulgas to EI Camino Real, including high visibility crosswalk striping at six key intersections. The pilot also includes the installation of temporary speed tables at the Hopkins/King and Hopkins/Fulton intersections.
