TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

CEQA: Exempt. Council District 3. (Transportation)

Documents filed: (1) Memorandum from Wayne Tanda, Director, Department of Transportation, dated August 15, 2001, recommending the adoption of said Resolution. (2) Memorandum from City Attorney, J. Richard Doyle dated August 30, 2001, attaching correspondence from Berliner Cohen, representing Macanan Marketing and David W. Lively of Olimpia, Whelan, Lively & Ryan, representing Ciari Plumbing & Heating, Inc. (4) Petition signed by approximately 175 individuals in support of the proposed street closures.

(6) Letter from Director of Transportation, Wayne K. Tanda, dated May 8, 2001, submitted into the public record by Frank Ciari, clarifying truckload limit restrictions on Newhall.

Discussion/Action: Director of Transportation Wayne K. Tanda stated Staff is recommending a first-action traffic-calming plan in response to long-standing concerns of the Newhall residential neighborhood bordered by The Alameda (State Route 82), El Camino Real, Campbell Avenue, and the Nimitz Freeway (H-880). With the use of PowerPoint, Deputy Director of Traffic Operations Jim Helmer described the concerns of the neighborhood – traffic volume, speed, commercial vehicles, and noise resulting from late night and early morning commutes – and discussed the traffic analysis that was completed to determine traffic impacts in the area, comparing existing conditions with projected levels of service at various intersections during peak periods. Because of the volume of truck traffic, he stated commercial vehicles in excess of five tons are prohibited on Newhall Street between Campbell Avenue and The Alameda, and weight limit restriction signs have been posted. He recommended Council approve the installation of barricades at Campbell Avenue and Newhall Street and at Campbell Avenue and O’Brien Court to prevent vehicle traffic from turning left; that the five-ton commercial vehicle prohibition on Newhall Street be suspended for a test period of up to 180 days. During the test period, he stated Staff will collect traffic data and finalize the traffic analysis and conduct a final evaluation with input from community – a petition process to ascertain the number of residents and property owners in favor of the test plan, customer satisfaction surveys to determine the reduction or increase in the volume of cut-through traffic – and will forward a final report to Council within 150 days.

The following individuals spoke on various aspects of the issue: Jeff Wasel, Mimi Gardner, Frank Ciari and Steve Ciari, and David W. Lively, Ciari Plumbing and Heating, Inc., Robert Crum and Max Gahrahmat, Gahrahmat Properties, Andrea Dutra, Cheryl Foust, Mary G. Ahmed, Moustafa Ahmed, Jim L. Mayer, Nick Mayer, Jolie Houston, Macanan Marketing, Craggs, and Donald MacMillan, Colbalt Associates. During Council discussion of the Newhall Neighborhood Diversion Plan, Council Members suggested Staff facilitate increased dialogue between the neighborhood residents and the commercial community during the 180-day period; remove or cover up the truck prohibition signs on Newhall Street to accommodate the businesses during the trail period; and formulate alternative solutions to traffic calming without street closures. Upon motion by Council Member Chavez, seconded by Council Member Yeager and unanimously carried, Resolution No. 70609, entitled: “A Resolution of the Council of the City of San José Authorizing the Director of Transportation to Temporarily Install Traffic Control Devices to prevent Vehicular Traffic from Making Turns at the Intersections of Campbell Avenue and Newhall Street and O’Brien Court and Campbell Avenue, and Suspending Enforcement of the Five (5) Ton Commercial Vehicle Prohibition on Newhall Street, All for a Test Period of Up to One Hundred Eighty (180) Days”, was adopted with directive to Staff to incorporate responses to Council Members’ concerns when the result of the 180-day test period is presented to Council.
