RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Infrastructure Committee (CIC) receives this update on the Safety Analysis conducted and alternatives for the Foothill Blvd and D Street Intersection Safety Improvements.
End
SUMMARY
The Foothill Blvd and D Street intersection Analysis was initiated following concerns received from Council and the public at various community meetings, public hearings, via e-mail, and Access Hayward. The analysis identifies and addresses key safety deficiencies while simultaneously minimizing operational impacts. The report provides two low cost improvements for the intersection. The first improvement is to convert the shared through and right-turn lane on northbound Foothill Boulevard to an exclusive right-turn only lane upstream of the Foothill Boulevard and A Street intersection. The second improvement is new signal phasing and timing for the Foothill Boulevard and D Street intersection. At this intersection, the northbound movement at Foothill Boulevard will be split phase to serve the Jackson Street and Mission Boulevard approach separately instead of concurrently to reduce weaving issues.
This item was first presented to Council as an Informational Item on June 2, 20201. At today's meeting, staff will present an overview of the analysis methodology as well as the steps taken to implement the project in mid-July. Staff will also present early findings from the project implementation and the plan developed to provide on-going monitoring of the project corridor.
