STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL
DATE: August 18, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Reducing the Speed Limit on Dublin Boulevard between Scarlett Drive and
Tassajara Road to 40 MPH
Prepared by: Sai Midididdi, Associate Civil Engineer (Traffic)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider introducing an ordinance to reduce the speed limit from
45 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour on Dublin Boulevard between Scarlett Drive and
Tassajara Road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Waive the reading and INTRODUCE the Ordinance Amending the Dublin Traffic Code
to Reduce the Speed Limit on Dublin Boulevard between Scarlett Drive and Tassajara
Road.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to modify the existing speed limit signs can be accommodated in the Fiscal
Year 2020-2021 Street Maintenance Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
California Vehicle Code Section 40802 specifies that engineering and traffic surveys
(E&TS) must be conducted every seven years for certain types of roadways and that
appropriate police officer training be completed to allow speed limit enforcement by use
of radar. The existing speed limit of 45 miles per hour on Dublin Boulevard between
Scarlett Drive and Tassajara Road was established several years ago by Ordinance 8-
94 and Ordinance 19-02. Since that time, significant changes have occurred along the
subject segment of Dublin Boulevard including construction of mixed-use, residential,
retail, and commercial developments, and the completion of various roadway
improvements.
Procedure for Establishing Speed Limit
The E&TS (Attachment 2) determines the operative criterion called "85th percentile" or
"critical" speed. The "85th percentile" speed is considered the target speed at or below
which 85% of drivers are traveling in free-flowing conditions. Speed limits are to be set
Page 2 of 3
at the nearest five mile per hour (5 mph) increment to the critical speed. The E&TS also
includes an analysis of the roadway to determine whether there are any offsetting
factors such as residential density, pedestrian and bicycle features, intersecting
driveways, accident history, and location of schools, which would cause the
recommended speed limit to be further reduced by five miles per hour .
Engineering and Traffic Survey (ET&S) Findings
Dublin Boulevard between Scarlett Drive and Tassajara Road is classified as a principal
arterial street in the City of Dublin Street Functional Classification System. It consists of
six through lanes (three each way separated by medians), striped bicycle lanes, and
additional turn lanes at intersections. The roadway is mostly flat and straight with a
modest S-curve in the middle of the segment.
This Dublin Boulevard corridor is continuing to develop with new residential, retail and
commercial properties along its frontage. Multi-family residential units, high and medium
density residential apartments, condominiums, townhomes, retail shopping centers and
large office complexes are located along both sides of the street. A future 30 -acre
community park will be located on the northeast side of Dublin Boulevard and Scarlett
Drive intersection. The Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is located south of Dublin
Boulevard, adjacent to the I-580 freeway between DeMarcus Boulevard and Campus
Drive. There are driveways along the segment with vehicles turning in and out of
parking lots. The Iron Horse Regional Trail intersects Dublin Boulevard at Scarlett Drive,
providing trail access to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station. In addition, there is a
Class I trail along the north side of Dublin Boulevard between Hacienda Drive and
Tassajara Creek Trail. This segment of Dublin Boulevard also experiences varying
traffic flow conditions including freeway cut-through trips diverting from I-580.
The E&TS indicates that the critical speed is 44 miles per hour on Dublin Boulevard
between Scarlett Drive and Hacienda Drive and 45 miles per hour between Hacienda
Drive and Tassajara Road. This suggests a posted speed limit of 45 miles per, by
rounding to the nearest five mile-per-hour increment. However, given the recent
development activities along the corridor, proximity to Dublin/Pleasanton BART station,
and Class l trails with associated bicycle and pedestrian traffic, the E&TS recommends
that the posted speed limit be estab lished at 40 miles per hour by applying the optional
five mile per hour reduction in speed limit.
Based on the findings in the E&TS, Staff recommends that City Council introduce an
ordinance to reduce the speed limit on Dublin Boulevard between Scarlett D rive and
Tassajara Road to 40 miles per hour.

None.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:

Dublin Speed Limits E&TS Report 11159184 0501 / R2592TIA003
Dublin Boulevard (between Scarlett Dr. and Hacienda Dr.)
This segment of Dublin Boulevard extends in an east -west direction between Scarlett Drive and
Hacienda Drive. It consists of six through lanes (three each way) with additional turn lanes at
intersections. The segment is mostly flat and straight, but there is a modest S -curve in the middle of
the segment. The travel directions are separated by center medians and there are strip ed bicycle
lanes and parking is not allowed. It is classified as a principal arterial street in the City of Dublin
Street Functional Classification System. It is also a designated Truck Route (Dublin Boulevard is a
designated Truck Route between San Ramo n Road and Fallon Road). The Dublin Boulevard
corridor is continuing to develop with newer commercial and residential properties generating
vehicle trips throughout the corridor. Newly developed properties are located along both sides of the
street, including multi-family residential units and a retail shopping center near Hacienda Drive. The
East Dublin/Pleasanton BART station is located south of Dublin Boulevard near Arnold Road.
There are driveways along the segment with vehicles turning in and out of parking lots. The Iron
Horse Trail intersects Dublin Boule vard at Scarlett Drive, providing trail access to the East
Dublin/Pleasanton BART station , and a Class l trail extends along the north side of Dublin
Boulevard. Pedestrian and bicycle trips are g enerated by the adjacent retail, residential, BART
station, and Class l trails. This segment of Dublin Boulevard carries freeway cut-through trips
diverting from I-580, which tends to travel at higher speeds, and the segment also experiences
stopped traffic and vehicle queues on the approaches to intersections .
Speed Data
There is an existing posted speed limit of 45 mph. There are eastbound speed limit signs located
east of Scarlett Drive and Iron Horse Parkway. There are westbound signs west of Hacienda Drive,
Iron Horse Parkway, and Sterling Street. (The speed limit decreases to 35 mph west of Scarlett
Drive.) The measured 85th-percentile speed was recorded as follows:
Speed 85th % Recommended
Dublin Boulevard: Limit Speed Speed Limit
Scarlett Dr. to Hacienda Dr. 45 mph 44.0 mph 40 mph (NEW )
Recommendation
Based on the measured 85 th-percentile speed and existing street characteristics, it is recommended
that a new speed limit of 40 mph be established. Factors include continued development of
residential and commercial properties with associated traffic along the Dublin Boulevard corridor;
vehicles turning in and out of driveways along the segment; nearby residential units, BART Statio n,
and Class l trail, with pedestrian/bicycle street-crossings; and variable traffic conditions ranging from
higher-speed cut-through traffic to stopped/queued traffic at intersection approaches. Therefore, it is
recommended that an optional 5 mph reduction from the nearest rounded 85th-percentile speed of
45 mph be implemented, resulting in a new 40 mph speed limit (change from existing 45 mph
speed limit).
Improvements
Replace existing 45 mph speed limit signs with new 40 mph speed limit signs (type R 2-1 per
CaMUTCD).

Dublin Boulevard (between Hacienda Dr. and Tassajara Rd.)
This segment of Dublin Boulevard extends in an east -west direction between Hacienda Drive and
Tassajara Road. There are six through lanes (three each way) with additional turn l anes at
intersections. The segment is mostly flat and straight with a modest S-curve in the middle of the
segment. The travel directions are separated by center medians and there are striped bicycle lanes .
Parking is not allowed. It is classified as a principal arterial street in the City of Dublin Street
Functional Classification System. It is also a designated Truck Route (Dublin Boulevard is a
designated Truck Route between San Ramon Road and Fallon Road ). The Dublin Boulevard
corridor is continuing to develop with newer commercial and residential properties generating
vehicle trips throughout the corridor. This segment extends through a commercial/retail area with
vehicles turning in and out of parking lots. There are also residential units on the north side (no
direct access) and a large office complex on the south side near Tassajara Road. P edestrian and
bicycle trips are generated by the retail, residential, and office uses, and there is a Class l trail along
the north side of Dublin Boulevard between Hacienda Drive and the Tassajara Creek Trail system .
Dublin Boulevard experiences varying traffic flow conditions, including freeway cut -through traffic
diverting from I-580 which tends to travel faster than the environment allows, as well as stopped
traffic and vehicle queues on the approaches to intersections.
Speed Data
There is an existing posted speed limit of 45 mph. There is an eastbound speed limit sign located
east of Hacienda Drive and a westbound sign west of Tassajara Road. The measured 85th-
percentile speed was recorded as follows:

Recommendation
Based on the measured 85th-percentile speed and existing street characteristics, it is recommended
that a new speed limit of 40 mph be established. Factors include continued development of
residential and commercial properties with associated traffic along the Dublin Bo ulevard corridor;
vehicles turning in and out of driveways along the segment; nearby residential units and Class l trail
