DATE: February 5, 1985
SUBJECT: VALLEY VIEW ROAD - TRAFFIC LANE CONFIGURATION
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
Approve Report and authorize Public Works Director to implement alternate striping plan
dated February 1, 1985.
BACKGROUND
Upon closing the public hearing last Tuesday regarding the traffic lane configuration for
Valley View Road, the Board of Supervisors requested me to consider the public testimony
and report back to the Board today.
It appeared to me that the majority of speakers were primarily concerned about the following
factors:
1. Amount of existing and anticipated traffic;
2. Need for speed control ;
3. Need for four lanes; and
4. Need to restore parking.
The Public Works Department has prepared an alternate striping plan for the County's
portion of Valley View Road which we believe satisfies most of the concerns expressed by the
majority of speakers. Primarily the new plan provides for four traffic lanes and painted
left turn lanes at Christopher Court and the southern driveway to De Anza High School;
restores parking along the southwest side of Valley View Road between the Richmond City
Limits and Amend Road; and three-way stop sign control at Amend Road. The proposed plan
does not include a continuous two-way left turn lane.
In order to implement the proposed plan, it will be necessary to chip off most of the new
thermo-plastic centerline stripe that was previously installed by the County's contractor.
The estimated cost to remove the existing striping is approximately $5,000.
