AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 17, 1996
SUBJECT: Report on Village Parkway / Wineberry Way Intersection
Report Prepared by: Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: None
RECOMMENDATION: Receive report.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Minor cost of removing a shrub, concrete work, and sign installation.
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Street Maintenance Operating
Budget
DESCRIPTION: At the May 28, 1996, City Council meeting, Staff provided a brief
report regarding a concern expressed by a resident of the "Parkway Terrace" subdivision at Village Parkway
and Wineberry Way that it is difficult to turn left onto Village Parkway from Wineberry Way because of the
speed and amount of oncoming traffic.
The May 28th Staff report discussed a previous review of the intersection and noted that shrubbery had been
trimmed to improve sight distance. It was also discussed in the previous report that the City plans to install a
traffic signal at the Village Parkway / Davona Drive intersection in the 1998-99 fiscal year, assuming that
ISTEA funding is received. The signal would provide breaks in northbound traffic that could facilitate exiting
from Wineberry Way onto Village Parkway.
Staff contacted the City of San Ramon regarding the Village Parkway / Kimball Avenue intersection and was
advised that warrant studies had been performed for both stop signs and a traffic signal; however, the
intersection does not meet the warrants for either control device at this time. The City of San Ramon will
continue to monitor the intersection, with the intention of providing a control device at such time as the
warrants are met.
At this time, Staff is removing one additional shrub that may present a visibility problem. The dirt area where
the shrub is located will then be filled with concrete in conjunction with the next City sidewalk repair project.
Staff is also proposing to install an "Intersection Ahead" sign for southbound traffic, as the Wineberry
intersection may be difficult to see. The sign will be located on Village Parkway, north of the Wineberry
intersection.
In addition, Police Services will be providing additional speed limit enforcement on Village Parkway,
including use of the radar trailer.
