The Traffic and Safety Commission is going to be discussing traffic calming on Peralta and Posen at the next meeting. There are 2 separate discussions.
1) "6A. ATP Striping and Signage Improvements-Complete design plans for 14 separate bicycle Striping and Signage projects throughout the City, including segments of...Peralta Ave...Posen Ave."
The plans for striping projects can be found here. Peralta is on page 14, Posen is on page 17, and Francis is on page 16.
This is mostly bike lane striping. The Commission will receive a report regarding the Active Transportation Plan. "Recommended Action: That the Commission recommend that (a) staff proceed with the preparation of 95% plans"
A summary of the Peralta Ave proposed changes can be found here.
2) "6E. Report on the Traffic Circles on Posen and Peralta."
It was requested that the city staff look into possible traffic circles as a traffic calming measure. The original discussion was only about the striping and the part of Peralta at the intersection of Posen. As we all know, drivers have been speeding from the top of the hill before the intersection of Peralta and Francis.
A report will be given, but no information about the substance has been made available yet.
