Project: Santa Clara Street Traffic Calming Study and Implementation

Santa Clara Street will soon be the subject of a study to identify the best traffic calming improvements to increase safety in the neighborhood. Curb-extension "bulbouts," which slow vehicle speeds by creating the impression of a narrowed roadway, as rendered above, are one example of a traffic calming improvement.

Project Description

In response to community concerns regarding speeding on Santa Clara Street and vehicles not stopping at the crossing at El Dorado Avenue, the Santa Clara Street Traffic Calming Study & Implementation Project has been developed to identify opportunities to calm traffic, improve safety, and provide protected bike facilities for cyclists that frequent the corridor and implement recommended improvements, which are anticipated to be a combination of geometric, sign, and striping modifications.
