THE DRAFT LYON HOAG AND ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS TRAFFIC CALMING
STUDIES & RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT PREPARED BY TJKM TRANSPORTATION
ENGINEERS
WHEREAS, residents residing in Lyon Hoag and the adjacent neighborhoods have
raised concerns about cut -through traffic and speeding in their neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2018, the City held a community meeting with residents to
provide a forum to share concerns with the City Council and staff and to educate attendees
about potential solutions to address many of their concerns; and
WHEREAS, on October 1, 2018, the City hired TJKM Transportation Engineers to
conduct a comprehensive traffic engineering study in the affected area to investigate resident
concerns and identify feasible solutions; and
WHEREAS, the project study process was divided into three main phases: obtain
community input regarding concerns, perform traffic studies and data analysis, and develop
preliminary solutions/recommendations with prioritization of various improvements; and
WHEREAS, vehicle speeds and volumes were gathered at over 30y locations, and while
the overall speeds were within the typical ranges for 25 mph streets, there was a degree of
speeding on certain streets; and
WHEREAS, to investigate cut -through traffic, a company called Streetlight Data was
utilized to provide origin and destination information based off of anonymized data gathered
from smart phones and navigation devices on the roadway; and
WHEREAS, TJKM Transportation Engineers conducted an extensive public outreach
process that included multiple community workshops and citizen advisory meetings with the
neighborhood, an online website to collect feedback, and project updates to the City Council
and Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission, and
WHEREAS, as result of the efforts above, the draft report has categorized
improvements based on their complexity and deliverability into three phases; and
WHEREAS, phase 1 includes treatments that can be installed relatively quickly such as
striping, signage, and temporary islands; and
WHEREAS, Phases two and three include treatments that are more complex, such as
permanent traffic circles and bulb -outs, which would require extensive engineering design and
construction; and
