STRATEGIC INITIATIVE Transportation BACKGROUND In 2016, the City received multiple requests and petitions from residents for neighborhood traffic calming along Roosevelt Avenue. These requests covered three segments of Roosevelt — from Hudson Street to EI Camino Real, from Alameda de las Pulgas to Upton Street, and from Upton Street and Grand Street. Staff combined these requests to create a single project corridor due to their physical proximity, to improve continuity of design along the corridor, and to reduce the cost of developing plans for each segment separately. Roosevelt Avenue is currently the highest ranking traffic calming request based on its traffic volumes, speed and collision data and the presence of major pedestrian generators such as Red Morton Park and Roosevelt Elementary School. Roosevelt Avenue is a two-lane street with a 25 mile per hour speed limit. Most of Roosevelt Avenue is a designated Class III bicycle route with shared roadway "sharrow" markings. In the General Plan Circulation Element (2010) the road is classified as "Bicycle Boulevard" and in the citywide transportation plan (2018), Redwood City Moves, it is characterized as a "Neighborhood Street." Functionally, it operates as a collector street that connects people on local residential streets to Alameda de las Pulgas, Hudson Street, and EI Camino Real. Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data from 2010 to 2017 shows that there were 59 collisions on Roosevelt Avenue between EI Camino Real and Alameda de las Pulgas, of which 13 involved people riding bicycles and 5 involved people walking. The primary collision factor (PCF) for 42% of these collisions were unsafe speed, improper turning, or traffic signal and signs violations.
