This isn’t isolated to peak hours and happens all day long. This decreases vehicle to vehicle gapping for pedestrian crossings •The Town uses this type of crossing device in other locations: La Cañada & Cañada Hills, the Moore roundabout and on Moore Road just west of Rancho Vistoso Blvd. (older installation, pre-LED) •Moving forward with an intersection design that incorporates this type of signalization 12 Moving Forward – For Reference FVD’s PEDXINGAHEADAHEADPEDXINGMumble Strips Raised marking Best example is at Naranja Drive & Shannon Road Advanced pre -warning signal 13 Moving Forward – Working on Solutions Pedestrian crossing improvements will consist of: RRFB pedestrian warning signal Pre-warning interconnected warning signal in both directions Intersection mumble strips Intersection high visibility crossing striping Flexible vertical delineators (FVD’s) on eastbound lane line to establish crosswalk landing area FVD’s to create north landing of the pedestrian crossing PEDXINGAHEADAHEADPEDXINGFVD’s RRFB Signal High Visibility Crosswalk Mumble Strips Pre-warning Pre-warning 14 Moving Forward – Working on Solutions Pedestrian entrances to the Park from the three surrounding neighborhoods – design continues as part of Park project Pedestrian accommodations for north side of Naranja Drive Update - Staff attended a scoping meeting with ADOT design team for the northside MUP project Staff is currently constructing a temporary bypass around the street right-turn lane 15 Moving Forward – Working on Solutions Possible creation of a Pedestrian Safety Corridor, from La Cañada Drive to First Ave. Add safety corridor signage: •Signage will consist of “Your Speed Is” along with safety corridor delineation. Sign set for 5 mph over limit •Set four signs each direction, right after regulatory speed limit signs •Solar installation Consider Town Code definition of formal pedestrian corridor – 2x fines, etc. Install rumble strips on lane line along the corridor throughout, except at crossing location(s). 16 Moving Forward – Summary There are several near-term pedestrian safety measures being implemented for Naranja Drive Discussed at the Traffic Safety Committee in June Staff anticipates returning to Council in the fall, upon the completion of design to request funding All these measures will help increase safety throughout the corridor 17 Questions?Discussion?
