8.A. - Page 2 of 77 <br />collision rates within this segment of EI Camino Real. Work on the Safety Improvement Study began in <br />December of 2017 and will end by March of 2019. <br />The yearlong Safety Improvement Study resulted in conceptual design drawings that build off of the <br />Corridor Plan, exploring options for crosswalk locations and design as well as protected bike lane <br />configurations. The study examined how these design elements would work with existing constraints and <br />the removal of slip lanes near the Woodside interchange. These conceptual design drawings were <br />informed by feedback from agencies, committees, neighborhood associations, and the community (see <br />Public Notification and Outreach section for details). While the Bike & Ped Safety Improvement Study is <br />complete, the construction of these design concepts remains a long-term implementation action (see <br />Next Steps section). <br />ANALYSIS <br />The collision rate for the Redwood City case study segment is about 2.32 collisions per million vehicle <br />miles compared to the statewide average of 1.48 collisions for the same type of roadway, demonstrating <br />the need for streetscape enhancements that improve safety for all roadway users. This segment has the <br />opportunity to improve critical links between existing bike routes, connect existing residential <br />neighborhoods to the downtown, connect new downtown residences to Red Morton Park & Community <br />Center, and improve safety where EI Camino Real transitions in the number of lanes and between state <br />highways (SR84 — Woodside). <br />FIGURE 1— STUDY SEGMENT <br />TAAABAUGH-HELLER r a <br />SrW'a5� <br />kl. 0 W <br />.�. <br />.. <br />zµ <br />LINL <br />3 PA <br />11� <br />m REDWODD OAS <br />While the Corridor Plan encompasses mobility, economic vitality, housing, and placemaking, the Safety <br />Improvement Study focuses on safety improvements within the roadway. It further developed the <br />mobility elements from the Corridor Plan to show how these concepts could be applied in the study <br />segment based on existing constraints. As such, the Safety Improvement Study provides conceptual <br />designs for the following key elements: <br />1. Protected Bike Lanes <br />2. Crosswalks <br />3.
