DISCUSSION / ACTION
11. Discussion to Consider the Adoption of Resolution No. 22-2016; A RESOLUTION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA,
APPROVING THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Forte noted, after the public distribution of the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), that a clarification to the Executive Summary of the LRSP was recommended to better describe the intent and purpose of the Case Studies found in Appendix A, and revisions were made to pages ES-2 and ES-3, as follows:
“Five (5) case study locations were chosen to be representative of the corridor and intersection configurations throughout the City. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, stakeholder engagement, the observed crash patterns, and their different characteristics to provide the most insight into City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
In-Person Meeting and Video Conference (Zoom)
Wednesday, July 13, 2022
potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost effective safety benefits. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment and scored according to their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure, and to potentially phase improvements over the longer term. The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can then be extrapolated regardless of crash history, allowing for proactive safety enhancements that can prevent future safety challenges from developing. Additionally, this information can be used to help the City apply for grants and other funding opportunities to implement these safety improvements.
Five (5) case study locations were chosen to be representative of the City’s corridor and intersection configurations, meaning signalized intersections, unsignalized intersections, and roadway segments. A Safety Project Case Study was developed for each of the following locations:
Case Study #1: Unsignalized Intersection: Reyes Adobe Road and Stonecrest Drive Case Study #2: Signalized Intersection: Lake Lindero Drive and Thousand Oaks Boulevard Case Study #3: Signalized Intersection: Kanan Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard Case Study #4: Unsignalized Intersection: Driver Avenue and Conejo View Drive Case Study #5: Segment: Canwood Street from Lake Lindero Drive to Reyes Adobe Road These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, stakeholder engagement, the observed crash patterns, and their different characteristics. While there is not a significant history of crashese at Case Study #1, this location was selected based on stakeholder engatement. Case Studies #2 and #3 were selected because these locations have an over-represented number of collisions involving pedestrians and aggressive driving, which have been identified as emphasis areas for the City. Case Studies #4 and #5 were selected because the overall observed crash rates are higher than expected based on the facilty type and vehicle volume. Facilities with an ongoing or planned improvements were not included as Case Study locations.
For each case study, countermeasures were developed to address the safety patterns at that location. These countermeasures were compiled into a countermeasure toolbox and can also be applied to similar locations for a systemic safety approach that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits. A breadth of facility types was selected to generate a variety of depth of countermeasures for the City.” Following presentation of the staff report, Mayor Lopez opened the floor for public comment.
There was no public comment.
ACTION: Following deliberations, Councilmember Northrup moved to adopt Resolution No. 22-2018, as amended. Councilmember Buckley Weber seconded. The motion carried 5-0, by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Mayor Lopez, Mayor Pro Tem Anstead, and
Councilmembers Buckley Weber, Northrup, and
Weber.
