Data Collection and Field Observations February 9, 2011 Counted autos, pedestrians, bicyclists, buses 7:00 – 9:00 AM, 2:15 – 4:00 PM Observed directionality, parking behavior, traffic queuing, jaywalking, and unsafe maneuvers AM Peak Hour Observations Traffic queues extend back to shopping center Unsafe pedestrian movements Poorly regulated traffic flows PM Peak Hour Observations Traffic jams on-site Traffic queues from north end to Ramona Unsafe pedestrian movements Poorly regulated traffic flows

Existing Observations

Development of Access/Circulation Alternatives Reduce congestion during peak periods Accommodate drop-offs and pick-ups on-site Accommodate more parking on-site Separate ingress and egress traffic flows Separate traffic flows to/from parking lot and to/from drop-off aisle Provide for safe, controlled pedestrian crossings on Pinole Valley Road Goals:

Alternatives Analysis All alternatives have a new signal at the northern parking lot driveway Alternative 1 : Traffic signal at School Exit/Estrella only Alternative 2 : Traffic signal at Shea/Granada only Alternative 3 : Traffic signal at School Exit/Estrella and Shea/Granada Alternative 4 : No traffic signal at School Exit, Shea/Granada as existing
