Subject:Appropriation Adjustment - P2b Alamo Purchases
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Funding for the signs will come from APSAC’s Traffic Safety Fund.
Over the past few years, there have been ongoing safety concerns with students being able to cross safely at the
crosswalk located at Livorna Rd. and Wilson Rd. In 2012, the crosswalk had enhanced safety measures installed.
These included a flashing yellow light at eye level and crosswalk beacons with a pedestrian activated button
located at the ends of the crosswalk. Despite these improvements, the crosswalk is still deemed dangerous by
Alamo Residents, the San Ramon School District and the County Supervisor’s Office.
During the APSAC meeting on August 4, 2014, the advisory board members were told by County Supervisor
Anderson’s office that the San Ramon Valley School District would be willing to hire a crossing guard if the
APSAC agreed to pay for the position until a traffic signal could be installed at the location. The traffic signal
installation is projected to be completed sometime during the 2015 school year. The APSAC advisory members
approved the request to fund the crossing guard.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Sheriff's Office will be unable to fund the acquisition of the radar speed signs and a crossing guard.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No fiscal impact.
