City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft ii Executive Summary
A Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a data driven traffic safety planning document that is now a requirement for Cycle 11 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The goal of the LRSP is overall road safety improvements with an emphasis on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions. This plan also involves input from stakeholders and the public in identifying priority locations that could benefit from safety improvements but might not currently show a collision issue. This comprehensive plan is focused on mitigating the City’s primary collision types and factors, with an overall reduction in collisions citywide.
The development of American Canyon’s LRSP was a collaborative process with a local leadership group that represents the 5 E’s (not just engineering) and public outreach. The 5 E’s of traffic safety include Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies.
This holistic approach allows certain areas of concern not showing a crash pattern to be analyzed. Also, it fosters local, state, and agency partnerships to advance local road safety.
In following the overall LRSP process, a Stakeholder Working Group (Working Group) was formed with the City as the lead and local organizations from the 5 E’s and anyone with an interest in improving the City’s roadway safety. This group gathered for meetings to discuss the overall collision analysis, goals, priorities, safety recommendations, and overall development of the safety plan.
Based on the past 5 years’ collision analysis and the City’s Stakeholder Working Group Meetings, this LRSP will address multiple Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge/Emphasis Areas including but not limited to:
Pedestrians
Bicyclists
Intersections
Aggressive Driving/Speeding
Distracted Driving
In addition, the vision, mission statement, and goals were established in guiding the development of the LRSP. It was also decided that the LRSP for the City of American Canyon would be a living document with official updates every five (5) years.
Data analysis, public input, and City feedback helped to determine the priority locations in the City. State Route 29 (SR 29) runs at grade through American Canyon and divides the east and west sides of the City. These locations have been separated from the City jurisdiction intersections. All the locations, along with their proposed countermeasures per Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual for HSIP grant funding, are shown in the tables below.

City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 2
1. Introduction
The project involves the development of a Local Roadway/Road Safety Plan (LRSP), which provides local agencies an opportunity to address unique roadway safety needs in their jurisdictions. This comprehensive document will both help to guide the City in safety countermeasures and allow eligibility for funding in future HSIP applications. The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze local safety problems and recommend engineering safety improvements for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding.
Preparing an LRSP facilitates local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that contribute to California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) overall vision and goals. This SHSP focuses on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions (FSI collisions) with focused challenge/emphasis areas with a focus on the Five “E’s” of Traffic Safety (see Figure 1.1).
The City and GHD will follow the Federal Highway
Administration’s (FHWA) Local Road Safety process in the following six (6) steps as shown in Figure 1.2:
Figure 1.2 FHWA’s LRSP Development Process
In working with the first step of establishing leadership, GHD and the City of American Canyon reached out to the various stakeholder representative for the LRSP working group in capturing the “5E’s” and local community members that can contribute to the overall safety plan for the City of American Canyon. This working group was key in developing a comprehensive safety plan that is tailored to address the local needs and issues.

2. Background
2.1 Purpose and Need
American Canyon is located at the southern tip of Napa Valley and serves as a gateway to wine country. The City lies approximately 40 miles northeast from San Francisco and has easy access to the San Francisco Bay Ferry located in Vallejo. Its population is approximately 22,000 as of the 2020 Census, up from approximately 20,000 in the 2010 Census. American Canyon is host to multiple recreational areas with the Newell Open Space Preserve in the east, the Napa River Bay Trail and Wetlands Edge Park in the west, and Eagle Vines and Chardonnay Golf Clubs to the north.
Additionally, Napa County Airport lies just north of the City near the industrial area.
With its recreational options, local wineries, and close proximity to both Napa Valley and San Francisco, American Canyon sees many different types of roadway users each day. SR 29 runs through the City at grade and serves as a main thoroughfare for local and pass through traffic. In addition, the City of American Canyon roadways serve a variety of users including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, passenger cars, and heavy trucks for freight, with a mix of local, recreational, and regional trips.
In focusing in on the roadway safety needs, the past five years of collisions (2017-2021) were evaluated for City roadways and the high severity collisions are discussed below.
2.1.1 City Roadways
During the five-year period between 2017 and 2021, there were 2 fatal and 5 severe injury collisions recorded for the roadways under the City of American Canyon’s jurisdiction. There were 2 fatal and 10 severe injury collisions on SR
29. Figure 2.1 shows a map of the 4 fatal and 15 severe injury collisions on City and Caltrans roadways between 2017 and 2021. In improving roadway safety for the City of American Canyon, it is important to focus on mitigating these high injury and loss of life collisions.

3. Safety Partners/Stakeholders
3.1 Stakeholder Working Group Members
Based on community connections, the City of American Canyon led the formation of the LRSP Stakeholder Working Member Group. This leadership group was crucial in the development of the LRSP and helped in capturing the safety needs, goals, and priorities including safety countermeasures for the City of American Canyon.
The Stakeholder Working Group included the following representatives:
City of American Canyon
Napa County
Caltrans, District 4
American Canyon Police Department
American Canyon Fire Department
Napa Valley Transportation Authority
Napa Valley Bicycle Coalition
Napa Valley Unified School District
Napa County Office of Education
3.1.1 Stakeholder Working Group Meetings
Three meetings were held with the stakeholder working group and facilitated by GHD. The virtual meetings were as follows:
Tuesday, May 3, 2022 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
o Discussed the LRSP overall process, working group member’s safety priorities, past 5 years of collisions (City and Caltrans roadways), vision, goals, and priorities. Thursday, June 16, 2022 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
o Reviewed first meeting, discussed public comments and ways to address their concerns, recent developments, safety countermeasures and projects, refined LRSP’s guiding principles, and coordinated next steps.
The meeting agendas for the stakeholder working group meetings are in Appendix A: Stakeholder and Public Input.
The stakeholder working group also provided their feedback and comments on the Draft Local Roadway Safety Plan document before the plan was finalized. With many of the safety countermeasures to include engineering, enforcement, and emergency response, it is important to have buy off from the stakeholders in understanding how the plan will be implemented.

3.2 SHSP Challenge Areas
Based on the LRSP Working Group Meetings, this LRSP will address multiple Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge Areas including:
Pedestrians
Bicyclists
Intersections
Aggressive Driving/Speeding
Distracted Driving
3.3 Guiding Principles
The members of the working group coordinated to establish the vision, mission statement, and goals that guided the development of the document. Ideally, this document will help the City move toward Vision Zero. The aim of Vision Zero is to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.
Traditionally, traffic deaths and severe injuries have been considered as inevitable side effects of modern life. The reality is that these tragedies can be addressed over time by taking a proactive, preventative approach that prioritizes traffic safety as a public health issue.
3.3.1 Vision Zero
Vision Zero is a significant departure from the status quo in two major ways:
Vision Zero recognizes that people will sometimes make mistakes, so the road system and related policies should be designed to minimize those inevitable mistakes and reduce their likeliness to result in severe injuries or fatalities. This means that system designers and policymakers are expected to improve the roadway environment, policies (such as speed management), and other related systems to lessen the severity of crashes. Roadway users are however still responsible for their mistakes and should follow all applicable laws and use reasonable judgement when conducting themselves within the public right of way. Vision Zero is a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together diverse and necessary stakeholders to address this complex problem. In the past, meaningful, cross-disciplinary collaboration among local traffic planners and engineers, policymakers, and public health professionals has not been the norm. Vision Zero acknowledges that many factors contribute to safe mobility -- including roadway design, speeds, behaviors, technology, and policies -- and sets clear goals to achieve the shared goal of zero fatalities and severe injuries.
3.3.2 Safe Systems Approach
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is using the Safe System approach to work towards their goal of zero fatalities in vehicles. In providing a comprehensive approach to safety, the Safe System approach is to design our vehicles and infrastructure in a manner that anticipates human error and accommodates human tolerances with a goal of reducing fatal and serious injuries. The following framework is intended to assist the vehicle and infrastructure communities in making decisions in alignment with Safe System principles. Implementing and selecting safe system practices and design will incrementally improve safety over time.
FHWA defines the Safe System Approach Principles and Elements as follows:
Safe Road Users—The safety of all road users is equitably addressed, including those who walk, bike, drive, ride transit, or travel by other modes.
Safe Vehicles—Vehicles are designed and regulated to minimize the frequency and severity of collisions using safety measures that incorporate the latest technology.
City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 9 Safe Speeds—Humans are less likely to survive high-speed crashes. Reducing speeds can accommodate human-injury tolerances in three ways: reducing impact forces, providing additional time for drivers to stop, and improving visibility.
Safe Roads—Designing transportation infrastructure to accommodate human mistakes and injury tolerances can greatly reduce the severity of crashes that do occur. Examples include physically separating people traveling at different speeds, providing dedicated times for different users to move through a space, and alerting users to hazards and other road users. Post-Crash Care—People who are injured in collisions rely on emergency first responders to quickly locate and stabilize their injuries and transport them to medical facilities. Post-crash care also includes forensic analysis at the crash site, traffic incident management, and other activities.
Adopting a Safe System approach does not absolve users of their responsibility. Other safety practices such as speed management strategies, driver education, enforcement, and effective emergency response will remain essential to improving road safety. With the passing of Assembly Bill (AB) 43, there will be flexibility in setting speed limits.
Figure 3.1 shows a graphic displaying the safe systems approach.
Figure 3.1 Safe Systems Approach
3.3.3 Vision, Mission Statement, and Goals
3.3.3.1 Vision
A vision statement describes what the Local Road Safety Plan is trying to achieve.
The City of American Canyon will strive toward the elimination of all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.
City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 10
3.3.3.2 Mission Statement
The mission statement defines the purpose of the plan, what it does, and what it is about. The mission statement was developed in collaboration with the working group.
3.3.3.3 Goals
Safety goals were developed for the Local Roadway Safety Plan. It is important to capture realistic goals that can be measurable or evolve over time.
Goal #1: Create a safe, healthy, convenient, and connected community by developing a roadway safety plan targeted to American Canyon’s transportation and roadway safety needs.
Goal #2: Reduce the potential for fatal and severe injury collisions citywide.
Goal #3: Reduce rear end collisions on SR 29 by implementing strategies that mitigate speed.
Goal #4: Reduce broadside collisions on City roadways by implementing strategies that reduce Right of Way and Signals/signs violations.
Goal #5: Improve multimodal transportation safety by expanding the City’s non-motorized transportation infrastructure using context sensitive design.
Goal #6: Improve safety around schools by increasing multimodal infrastructure, enhanced crossings, and education and enforcement
3.3.3.4 Motto and Pledge
The City of American Canyon adopted a motto as part of their on-going efforts to create safer streets in the community. This motto encompasses the efforts of the LRSP as well as the Traffic Calming Program. The motto is:
“We Safe Streets”
Residents are invited to take the safe streets pledge and proudly display the above decal to encourage others to take the pledge.
The City of American Canyon will provide a safe, sustainable, and equitable multimodal transportation system for all users of the public roadways in the city.

4. Analyze Safety Data
4.1 Recent/Planned Safety Projects
4.1.1 American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Proposed Projects In March 2021, United States Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to provide additional relief in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The City of American Canyon was successful in receiving funding for multiple Capital Improvement Projects. The proposed projects are as follows:
Benton Way Enhanced Crosswalk Improvements
Class II Bike Lanes and Intersection Improvement Projects (See Figure 4.1 below) Elliott Drive Enhanced Crosswalk Improvements
Melvin Road Sidewalk and Drainage Improvements
Paving and Utility Improvements (Rancho Del Mar Area) Figure 4.1 Proposed ARPA Funded Bike Lane and Intersection Improvement Project
4.1.2 State Route 29 Multimodal Improvement Project
Regionally, State Route (SR) 29 provides a direct connection between counties along Interstate 80 (I-80) and I-580 and counties along US 101 in the North Bay. Locally, SR 29 is also the lifeblood of access into and out of Napa County. Notwithstanding their disparate local context, vehicular volumes on SR 29 are comparable to other nearby state highways (SR 12 and SR 37). However, because the SR 29 Corridor functions as American Canyon’s “Main Street”, it experiences significant safety, operational, and context sensitive design issues between American Canyon Road and Napa Junction during weekday and weekend peak hour conditions.
City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 12 This plan builds upon the previously completed SR 29 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (completed May 2020) by identifying three alternative solutions to relieve traffic congestion, improve safety, support transit, and increase multimodal options for pedestrians and cyclists. These options then moved forward to the next phase of project development Project Initiation Document (PID). Per the SR 29 Corridor PID the preferred alternative is shown in Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2 SR 29 Roundabout Corridor Alternative
Once the PID is approved, the preferred alternative will move forward to the Project Approval & Environmental Documents (PA&ED) phase and Project Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) design package with construction anticipated to begin in FY 2025/26.
4.1.3 Other Projects
In addition to the above projects, American Canyon has other projects in construction, planned, continually on-going, and recently completed. These projects are as follows:
In construction:
Green Island Road Reconstruction and Widening Project – Updating signal crossing, reconstructing railroad crossing, and constructing Class I multi-use trail (Napa Valley Vine Trail) On-going/Planned:
Bike Rodeos in coordination with the Napa Valley Bicycle Coalition Child Seat and Bike Helmet giveaways with pedestrian and bicycle safety presentations by ACPD Community Safety Booklets
Broadway District Specific Plan
Updates to the Traffic Calming Guidelines
Complete Streets Safety Assessment in coordination with Berkeley SafeTREC – currently underway and recommendations are being coordinated
Pedestrian Crossing Improvements at Daniel Drive and Flosden Road – previously evaluated improvements in consideration
Recently Completed:
Devlin Road and Vine Trail Extension – Extension of Devlin Road to Green Island Road to improve circulation City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 13
4.2 Collision Data
The City of American Canyon collision data was gathered using the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). The City supplemented some missing collision data using collision reports. Each data set was analyzed, crosschecked, and compiled into one complete comprehensive data set. This process was done to ensure that all reported collisions occurring within the City are accounted for and to provide additional information that one system may not have captured. The data set contains five years’ worth of collisions spanning from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021.
Between 2017 and 2021, 671 collisions were reported in the City of American Canyon. These collisions were classified based on roadway jurisdiction (City or Caltrans). Collisions were further categorized into intersection related collisions and roadway segment related collisions with a separate focus on the City streets and Caltrans roadways.
The pie chart in Figure 4.3 depicts the number of collisions by collision location (intersection or segment) and jurisdiction (City, SR 29). The highest number of collisions were at SR 29 intersections (270 collisions).
Figure 4.3 Total Collisions within the City of American Canyon (2017-2021) As shown on the collision density map (see Figure 4.4 below), areas with high density of collisions include along all of SR 29, American Canyon Road, Newell Drive, and Flosden Rd, City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 14 Figure 4.4 Collision Density on All Roadways (2017-2021) City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 15
4.2.1 Collisions on City Roadways
There were 312 collisions recorded on roadways under the City’s jurisdiction between 2017 and 2021. There were 2 fatal collisions and 5 severe injury collisions on City roadways. Sideswipe collisions were the most common collision type followed by broadside and hit object collisions. Figure 4.5 summarizes the City collisions based on severity and type.
Figure 4.5 Summary of City Collisions (2017-2021)
The top five violation categories (not including unknown or not stated collisions) for City roadways are presented in Figure 4.6. The top violation category on City roadways was unsafe speed. Many of the unsafe speed collisions resulted in rear end collisions.
Figure 4.6 Top Violation Categories on City Roadways (2017-2021) City of American Canyon Local Roadway Safety Plan | Draft 16 With the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding concentrating on the past five (5) years of collision data, further collision analysis focused on collisions from 2017 to 2021. The total number of collisions and Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) rating were assessed to determine the top study intersections (refer to Appendix B:
Collision Data). Per the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual, it is recommended to rank locations with higher severity as higher focus. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) methodology of Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) rating assigns a weight to collisions in capturing the relative severity in equivalent property damage only (PDO =1).
Table 4.1 provides the comprehensive collision costs and EPDO weights that were used in ranking the collisions.
Collision costs include both direct and indirect costs. Direct crash costs include ambulance service, police and fire services, property damage, insurance, and other costs directly related to the crashes. Indirect collision costs account for the value society would place on pain and suffering or loss of life associated with the crash.
Table 4.1 Comprehensive Collision Costs and Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) Weights (2020 dollars) For the purposes of identifying priority locations for this plan, the intersection and segment collisions on City roadways were analyzed based off the LRSM EPDO ranking and total collisions. The top five intersections and segments in each of these three categories were identified as a priority. After removing duplicates between the lists, 7 unique City intersections, 7 unique State Route 29 intersections, 7 unique City roadway segments, and 5 unique State Route 29 segments were identified.
The intersection of American Canyon Rd and Broadway/Silver Oak Trail had the highest severity ranking due to multiple severe injury collisions as well as the highest number of collisions (28). The intersection of Flosden Rd and Daniel Dr ranked second due to a fatality at the intersection. Table 4.2 shows the top intersections, per collision analysis. Further detailed collision analysis is in Appendix B: Collision Data.

The segment of American Canyon Road (Newell Drive to East City Limit) had the highest EPDO (178) and tied with two other segments for the highest number of collisions (9).
Table 4.3 Top Segments on City Roadways, Per Collision Analysis
4.2.1.1 Additional Locations
Per stakeholder feedback, the segments of Silver Oak Trail from American Canyon Road to Newell Drive and Benton Way from Wetlands Edge Road to Donaldson Way/Elliott Drive are included as priority locations. These two locations did not have significant enough severity or number of collisions to appear in the top segments on their own but are still top priorities due to their proximity to schools. Both locations are main routes to schools and see significant numbers of vulnerable road users during school hours.
4.2.2 Collisions on Caltrans Roadways
There were 312 collisions recorded on Caltrans roadways between 2017 and 2021. Of these collisions, 179 were at SR 29 intersections and 133 were along segments. The intersection of SR 29 and American Canyon Road had the highest EPDO (650) and the highest number of collisions (59) in the five-year period between 2017 and 2021. Table
4.4 shows the top intersections, per collision analysis.

6.1.3 Systemic Safety Countermeasures
When selecting countermeasures, just focusing on locations with current collision issues is a reactive approach to roadway safety planning. A reactive approach targets recent hot-spots and specific problems that are associated with these locations; as a result of this approach, locations with low traffic volumes but with similar safety issues as hot spot locations are not addressed. To mitigate collisions in a both a reactive and proactive approach, Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Manual suggests agencies utilize a comprehensive approach that includes systemic and hot spot location improvements in developing a safety plan.
Potential countermeasures that can be applied systemically throughout various locations in the City are presented in Table 6.5 below.
Table 6.5 Systemic Countermeasures
6.2 Non-Engineering Strategies
A comprehensive approach to selecting countermeasure recognizes that not all safety issues can be addressed through infrastructure improvements. The comprehensive approach to safety involves the 5 E’s of traffic safety.
Besides engineering safety countermeasures, it is important to recommend safety countermeasures to coincide with the other safety E’s. Non-engineering strategies for the American Canyon LRSP are shown in Table 6.6 below.

Funding opportunities can come through grant funding such as HSIP, Active Transportation Program (ATP), and other state funded grants. It should be noted that the Active Transportation Program (ATP) funding is very competitive and typically awarded for larger projects in high-density communities.
Each HSIP cycle has available project funding for Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) and funding set-aside projects. BCR projects use expected benefit and estimated cost to determine eligibility and likelihood for receiving funding. The expected benefit is determined using the crash history and the predicted collision reduction from the recommended countermeasures.
HSIP also provides funding set-aside projects that do not require a collision history. Set aside funding consists of guardrail upgrades, pedestrian crossing enhancements, installing edge-lines, bike safety improvements, and set-aside for tribes. Each of the set-aside projects except the tribal set-asides are applicable for the City of American Canyon.
For funding for the non-engineering strategies, the California Office of Traffic Safety has resources that can be used by the City to help in traffic safety education for residents. Some campaigns highlighted in their website include impaired driving, distracted driving, pedestrian & bicycle safety, and speeding. The website provides educational materials, safety tips, facts, and resources to use in educating the public on traffic safety.
7.2 Prioritized Projects
In evaluating how to implement safety projects, preliminary benefit-to-cost ratios (BCRs) for priority intersection and segment projects were calculated using the HSIP Cycle 11 Analyzer. Tables 7.1 and 7.2 contain lists of the proposed intersection and segment projects and their corresponding BCRs. These tables also show additional potential funding opportunities. It should be noted that some of the recommended countermeasures are not current HSIP countermeasures. However, these improvements can typically be included in an HSIP project provided the cost does not exceed 20% of the total project cost.
In addition, the awarded projects through the BCR application for HSIP Cycle 10 started at a BCR of 12. Even though the minimum for the grant application was a BCR of 3.5, the projects submitted were very competitive. Some of this was due to agencies’ funding shortfalls with COVID lockdowns and the HSIP grant application deadline extension which allowed more agencies to submit. Therefore, the maximum project cost is also included for a BCR of 10.

8. Evaluation Process
To evaluate the success of this plan, yearly collision analysis, along with requests for public feedback, can take place and be compared to the established goals.
Goal: Create a safe, healthy, convenient, and connected community by developing a roadway safety plan targeted to American Canyon’s transportation and roadway safety needs.
Measure of Success: The number of residents choosing alternative modes of transportation more often noticeably increases after the implementation of this plan and proposed countermeasures. Residents report feeling safe and are better able to navigate the City without a vehicle. This can be captured through a public survey.
Goal: Reduce the potential for fatal and severe injury collisions citywide.
Measure of Success: There is a downward trend of fatal and severe injury collisions throughout the City over a 5-year period.
Goal: Reduce rear end collisions on SR 29 by implementing strategies that mitigate speeding.
Measure of Success: There is a downward trend of rear end collisions on SR 29 after speed management strategies have been implemented over a 5-year period.
Goal: Reduce broadside collisions in City roadways by implementing strategies that reduce Right of Way and Signals/Signs violations.
Measure of Success: There is a downward trend of broadside collisions on City roadways after strategies have been implemented over a 5-year period.
Goal: Improve multimodal transportation safety by expanding the City’s opportunities for nonmotorized transportation infrastructure using context sensitive designs.
Measure of Success: American Canyon prioritizes multimodal improvements in grant and city funding opportunities with context sensitive design solutions. With these improvements, there will be a downward trend in bicycle and pedestrian collisions with vehicles over a 5-year period.
Goal: Improve safety around schools by increasing multimodal infrastructure, enhanced crossings, and education and enforcement.
Measure of Success: Residents will feel more comfortable choosing multimodal transportation to travel to and from school zones and express an increased feeling of safety in these areas. This can be captured through a survey from the schools.

9. Next Steps
The City of American Canyon plans to send the Local Roadway Safety Plan to City Council for adoption in August 2022. This safety plan will be a living document and will guide the City’s roadway safety needs for the next five years.
It will be updated as needed and the goals will be monitored.

2.3 Public Survey
The City of American Canyon Public Survey asked six primary questions relating to the LRSP. The survey received 44 responses as of July 14, 2022. The results from the survey are documented below.
1. What are the main roadway safety issues for American Canyon? The Power of Commitment
12574952 4
Figure 5 Responses to Public Survey Question 1
Other safety issues and concerns identified by the public include:
• “Drivers running red lights and stop signs”
• “Not enough bike lanes”
• “Roadway alignment at certain locations causes difficulty with sightlines, no centerlines (single or double yellows) on many local streets and street signs blocked by trees that haven't been trimmed” • “Too many traffic lights”
• “A lot of traffic in neighborhoods”
• “Drivers routinely drive beyond the posted 25MPH speed limit along Shenandoah Drive and Silver Oak Trail -- typically driving 30-40MPH (based both on my estimation and by way of the speed indicator on Shenandoah Dr.). About 30% of all drivers are driving while simultaneously attending to a mobile device. On rare occasion, drivers will run stop signs -- the few times I've seen this it was 100% young Black males. An extremely reckless act I increasingly observe regards drivers stopped on the railroad tracks (on American Canyon Road) while awaiting the to signal change; the drivers committing this unsafe act are overwhelmingly females of all ages.”
• “Every day I see total disregard for safety like speeding, ignoring stop signs, endangering pedestrians etc.”
• “Few residents seem concerned with speed and stop signs. As someone who has been hit by a car as a child and now has grandchildren living in American Canyon, I find the lack of enforcement unfortunate. I hope it doesn't take a tragedy to make changes.” • “Google maps routes traffic through vintage ranch on Newell and then Donaldson so that it is non-stop traffic and people drive way too fast and ignore and blow through the stop signs. I see this almost daily.”
• “I live on Danrose and you'd never know there were stop signs at every corner if you just watched all the cars blowing through all day.”
• “Inconsistent traffic flows, caused backups”
• “I see a lot of people running through stop signs and speeding in neighborhoods.” • “Las personas cada vez manejan muy distraídos y muy alta velocidad” [People always drive very distracted and very fast]
• “On American canyon road people drive very fast. In order to curb this speeding maybe another stop sign or stop light would help.”
The Power of Commitment
12574952 5
• “People speed through the neighborhoods running stop signs.” • “Speeding and not stopping at stop signs is a big problem.” • “Speeding is a big factor. Northampton Drive is a big cut thru street, reckless speeders every day.
Drivers blowing thru stop signs is also prevalent.”
• “The main safety issue is people driving 50 to 60 miles per hour down certain residential streets. West Donaldson and Eucalyptus to Wetlands edge to name a few. Another safety issue is all the potholes from terribly maintained roads. People have to drive around the deep holes and go onto the wrong side of the road to do it.”
• “There are roads in neighborhoods without proper sidewalks, which makes it dangerous for pedestrians. Also, the speeding and rush hour traffic on roads parallel to 29 are dangerous from people cutting around traffic on 29. There seems to be a lack of people stopping at stop signs and speeding in neighborhoods.”
• “There have been a lot of incidents that have made my family feel unsafe in American Canyon, I would love if it were possible to install cameras on certain parts of the city to reduce crime rates.” • “The speedway/Race track on Newell Dr at night. Someone is going to get really hurt one night. The number of speeding trucks (especially heavy construction trucks) running stop signs and crossing over the line. Plus we have a residence on Granite Springs Way who likes to race his dark green Mustang with loud pipes up and down the street at all hours of the day and night” • “The traffic on Elliott Dr, between Benton/Donaldson Way and American Canyon Road. This is a main road for before and after school auto traffic and kids walking and riding their bikes. People driving on Elliott are going extremely fast, which presents a safety issue for our kids, people walking their dogs and the people stopping at the fruit vendor on the corner. Maybe speed bumps or rumble strips could help to slow the traffic”
• “Traffic and driver behavior is a big problem throughout the state, but we definitely have our fair share of problems that the city needs to address and help mitigate.”
2. Are you familiar with the City’s traffic calming program? Figure 6 Responses to Public Survey Question 2
The Power of Commitment
12574952 6
3. Do you find the traffic calming program difficult to navigate or understand? Figure 7 Responses to Public Survey Question 3
4. What changes would make the program easier to navigate/understand? • "Add more lanes”
• “I am familiar that the city has a recently adopted traffic calming program, started as a response to overwhelming complaints about road safety. What makes the program hard to understand is lack of transparency. We don’t know what you are doing. The city needs to not just provide traffic calming where people have recently fought hard to get it like Wetlands Edge. The city needs to adopt a working program where dangerous road conditions are sought after and dealt with. Example: on Eucalyptus by West Donaldson, no one can walk on the sidewalk toward Wetland’s edge because the dead grass and weeds at the lot the city owns have overtaken the sidewalk. We have to go into the road and pray someone is not coming up the road in a car at 60 miles per hour cutting the corner sharply and hitting us. If the city is going to own a large lot of weeds by homes, the weeds should be maintained. It is a fire hazard and a pedestrian hazard. We should not have to keep repeatedly complaining about it. The citizens have a right to safety, and we have a right know what you are doing to keep us safe. This is why we pay taxes.”
• “Make it easier to locate by putting on the front page of the City website in "blue/green box" like the construction updates, community calendar, etc.”
• “Most traffic calming has been very good. A few traffic calming improvements seem to be overengineered. For example, sidewalk corner bump-outs ended up being too large for Donaldson Way / James Road intersection and had to be scaled back. It would have been helpful to test the sizes of the bump-outs with temporary barriers before pouring the concrete.” • “Streamline some of the paperwork. Make it easier to initiate traffic calming study, but still require a majority of residents to support road changes. Work out the conflict between tenants and property owners.”
The Power of Commitment
12574952 7
• “The barrier of entry is very high and the city ignores some requests for traffic calming - even when the majority of a specific neighborhood have requested help.” • “The extreme bump outs at some intersection are a hazard. Longer speed bumps would make more sense than the bump outs”
5. What roadway safety improvements would you like to see in and around school zones? • “15 miles per hour enforced”
• “Add divider”
• “All of the schools should have the safety lights at the crosswalk like the ones at the elementary school at Eucalyptus and Wetlands edge.”
• “Better stop sign alignment, flags, possibly speed bumps near schools and parks.” • “Crosswalk attendants”
• “Enforcement of speed limits”
• “Flashing crosswalk lights on the ground”
• “Greater enforcement, including significantly increased fines, and limiting left turns while, also, considering a further reduction of speed limits”
• “I would like to see speed bumps on both Newell and Donaldson. I would like to see about 4 x more crosswalks in Vintage Ranch with flashers, especially near Shenandoah Park. There are not enough crosswalks across Newell and not enough across Shenandoah. (Every 1/4 mile is too far for a cross walk.) It is only a matter of time before someone is killed crossing Donaldson because the heavy traffic and people literally going 50 mph past the police station. Hey - why doesn’t the police install a speed trap camera there and just send tickets to anyone going over 35 mph?” • “Lighted crosswalks”
• “Más vigilancia” [more vigilance]
• “More clearly marked bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways in residential areas and more crossing guards for busy intersections. Also, some educational signs and city communication, cars don't always know they're supposed to yield to pedestrians and bicycles.” • “More crossing guards, parents could also volunteer to assist” • “More efficient pick up/drop off systems. More sidewalks.” • “More light-up crosswalks, more road bumps like wetlands edge” • “More speed bumps”
• “Pedestrian Beacons”
• “Safe walkways for students, even across the highway” • “The issue is not the roadways -- which are fine. Rather, the issue resides squarely with the drivers.
California does not require recurring driving competency assessments (like it did in the 1960s and 1970s), and as a result the driving culture of Californians has shifted from that of an earned "privilege" to that of an expected "right". Add to this the cultural shifts seen in the past 25 years and one can understand why the average American driver is increasingly self-absorbed and clearly less socially concerned.”
The Power of Commitment
12574952 8
• “The new elementary school is causing traffic on Wetlands Edge drive. Parents queue on that road northbound to drop off and pick up their children. Eucalyptus Westbound is wide enough to accommodate the traffic queues but Wetlands Edge is not. Some drivers drive up the left side to turn right, which is dangerous. Please prevent drivers from going straight from Wetlands during pick up and drop-off. This is exactly the same as the old elementary school setup so we have a direct precedent.” • “The state allows speed reduction to 15MPH around schools. We should look at that, plus adding rumble strips or speed humps. Parents are sometimes the biggest speeding offenders.”
6. What other roadway safety improvements would you like to see? • “ACPD to start giving tickets. No consequences, no one cares.” • “Better bike trails, possibly decided from the roadway.” • “I know police can't be everywhere all the time but increased enforcement would help” • “More sidewalk”
• “More sidewalks on school routes. The intersection of Rio Del Mar and American Canyon Road seems to have a lot of rear-ending accidents, maybe it needs a flashing light to warn when the signal is about to change or better timing with the other signals around it?” • “People do donuts at Newell and Donaldson on weekend nights and speed and drag race there. Plus they blow through the stop sign. This is only going to get much, much worse when the road is expanded. This is a suburban neighborhood and it is now a major thoroughfare but the city seems to be completely ignoring that fact even though the police/fire department must be aware.” • “Roadway safety strategies at stop signs, lights and unmarked intersections. Safe pedestrian crossings on SR29.”
• “Safe sidewalks”
• “Sidewalk repair and put sidewalks in where there aren’t any.” • “Sidewalks”
• “Sidewalks!”
• “Something in the crosswalk that slows cars down so they cannot just blow through the crosswalk and speed down the road. One example is West Donaldson and Eucalyptus. So much speeding and reckless driving.”
• “Speed bumps in neighborhoods. People driving fast.”
• “Speed cushions in Elliott Dr Stop sign at Crawford Way and Elliott Dr” • “Use of more speed humps in parts of town that have become SR 29 bypass routes, additional class I bicycle lanes, sidewalks built-out throughout town and undergrounding of utility poles.” • “Walking path along 29. You have to walk through a bunch of meandering neighborhoods to get up and down 29 safely.”
• “Walking path along the side of the highway towards the local stores to residential areas.”
7. Additional Comments
• “During fires in the Newell Open Space (and we’ve had 2) we need about 10 times more police presence to keep the looky loos away from blocking our evacuation route in case the fire would jump The Power of Commitment
12574952 9
Newell. This was an extremely dangerous situation last year and there were absolutely no Sheriff deputies on hand to help manage this. Only volunteers. Luckily it didn’t jump Newell - but what if that would have happened? No one living in houses with evacuation orders would have been able to get out of their cul-de-sacs due to looky loos blocking it with their cars so that they could post on Instagram. It was a huge failure of the city to not protect everyone from this potential disaster.” • “Keep us safe and informed.”
• “Thank you for your work to improve traffic in American Canyon!” • “The boys and girls responsible for managing the applicable infrastructure need to convert CA-29 into a freeway between CA-37 and Napa. Unfortunately, this will never happen...because none of these people truly care.”
• “The traffic calming program needs to be set for periodic review, maybe every 4 years. As we are doing a review now, we should be thorough and gather as much information as possible. Additionally, information on how citizens can record speeds and other traffic infractions should be included in the plan.”
• “Wish for an overpass over American canyon road”
• “Many people cross the street at dangerous places, spend time sitting or standing in the street or the median, and live in disused street parking and commercial parking lots. I think all this behavior would be reduced if American Canyon embraced Vallejo's supportive housing initiative using HomeKey money to build a supportive housing facility.”
3. Next Steps
In moving forward with the LRSP process, the next step is to incorporate the comments from the public in the draft LRSP. Once the draft LRSP is complete, it will be sent to the County for review.

This intersection requires a 4-way stop; Donaldson runs on a hill, and has no stop signs (which Gisela does) and drivers invariably go too fast downhill from west to east. There are many kids who live in this area & play in the street. 1 0

Eucalyptus requires speed bumps or rumble strips - drivers take this back road well over the speed limit, especially headed west/downhill towards the school, and around the bend where I placed the marker. The bend is a nearly-blind curve.
Considering current traffic plans will route more cars along this road, speed bumps will decrease the danger to pedestrians on the south sidewalk, and students at the school.

This is another intersection that, if it had a complete 4-way stop, would prevent drivers from taking the downward slope of Donaldson too quickly - at present, it is a hazard, and it is dangerous to turn left onto Elke from eastbound Donaldson, since you can't see who's coming over the hill on the westbound side. 1 0

We need multiple radar-sensored speed signs that flash at you when you go over the speed limit, along the 29. The long downhill slope moving northbound is a good place for ACPD to nab speeders with radar guns, but it'd be nice if they didn't have to.

People use Kimberly as a way around traffic but people use it as a highway. There have been multiple time someone has crashed into the houses adjacent to hwy 29 from going too fast and you can rarely pull out of your driveway. The road conditions are also terrible and cars kick up rocks onto the sidewalk and into cars parked. 1 0

Also consider relocating the center stripe closer to the "east-bound side". Currently, the stripe is centered; however, given parking is allowed only on the "west-bound side", more roadway could be freed-up to the west-bound drivers, which would promote an overall safer roadway.

During commute hours, I have seen many vehicles using the shoulder and/or turn lanes on both side of 29 to bypass traffic illegally and at unsafe speeds at the intersection of Broadway & Napa Junction Rd. One of many reasons I choose not to commute to work on my bike.

Cars speed on Elliott. Cars often don’t stop when making a right from Kimberly onto Elliott. We have kids and feel the crosswalks and sidewalks are dangerous because of the cars. For example our neighbors car was totaled while parked on Elliott. When I do yard work next to the street our neighbors express concern about being hit by speeding cars.

Cars drive too fast on Kimberly. The street is exceptionally wide, which facilitates speeding. I what traffic calming measures might lower speeds and improve the aesthetic of the street? Street trees or shrubs? There’s a lot of room for improvement on Kimberly between 29 and Elliott.

When biking or walking to the parking lot between DWES, BGC, and ACMS it’s awkward to cross Benton. The crosswalks don’t align with the driveway. Making the left onto Benton from this parking lot is very difficult on bike with school traffic. It’s especially sketchy when biking with kids

All the crosswalks on Wetlands Edge Road are highly used by the neighborhood to reach the Wetlands Linear Path trail or outdoor gym/park Please ADD striping to the crosswalks to make them more visible, and remove bushes (or keep trimmed short) that impede visibility of smaller pedestrians waiting to cross.

every morning during peak drop-off hours (7:45 to 8:10 AM) multiple drivers create their "own" turning lane to turn on Donaldson way towards the middle school. If cars are stopped at the intersection, they split the lane to turn right. Most of the time, the car is stopped because somebody is crossing the street. I have witnessed at least five incidents where somebody almost got hit by a driver who decided to split the lane and cross the crosswalk without looking.

Theresa Avenue is "officially" the alternate Route 29. The traffic, especially during commute hours, is horrendous. As a 45 year resident of American Canyon, having always lived on Theresa Avenue, I have witnessed dramatic traffic changes, both on our street and in our city. I noted that traffic calming measures were implemented on Wetlands Edge. I believe that similar measures should be considered for Theresa Avenue. Additionally, the STOP sign at Napa Junction and Theresa is mostly ignored.

the fruit vendor on this corner often takes up the entire sidewalk. The fruit stand, the chairs, the pets and the umbrella take up so much space, that pedestrians have to walk in the bike lane to get around them. This creates a problem with cyclists and with the cars. It is a dangerous intersection already, and this makes it worse. 0 0

Many Bikers tend to use the sidewalk for biking because they don’t want to bike next to 40+ mph cars. This applies to other roads such as Donaldson. Do either:
A) intentionally narrow lanes to slow car speed
B) have cars yield to bicycles at stop signs because bicycles are most vulnerable after stopping (they should be continuous)
C) Define the bike lane (green or physical barrier)
D) widen bike lane (Also possibly contributes to A)

This is one of the primary pedestrian routes between the Napa Junction shopping center and the southbound bus stop, as the north one located directly on the highway. There is a crosswalk here, but once you go to the eastern side of the highway, it instantly dips into a drainage pit with the path being a dirt road. This is dangerous, especially during rainy weather

This bus stop sits directly to the side of the highway with no shelters, sidewalks or benches. Could the vacant lot be used for a transit stop, similar to the one in Benicia at Military and 1st?

This is American Canyon's transit hub; however it's not served by the normal Route 11, one of Napa County's lifeline routes. The closest stops are located about 1/2 a mile away, I recommend the 11 turn at Donaldson and W. American Canyon way 1 0

Too many speeders and non stops at stop signs. Accidents are to frequent, roll overs, cars parked on the street being hit. Just waiting for someone to get hit. Lots of kids are always on the street. People don't always obey the school bus lights or stop sign.

Constant excessive speeding; hit and run accidents; drivers losing control of their vehicles; high noise levels due to speeding. Pedestrian safety concern. Residential street has turned into "AC Speedway". Need traffic calming along Newell Drive before completion of its extension and development on either side.

Caution light should be added for when light is changing (Northbound on Flosden at Via Bellagio). Numerous times where stoplight is run by inattentive drivers. This is a crosswalk well that needs better markings. Should be a "No Truck" zone as well.

the fruit vendor on this corner often takes up the entire sidewalk. The fruit stand, the chairs, the pets and the umbrella take up so much space, that pedestrians have to walk in the bike lane to get around them. This creates a problem with cyclists and with the cars. It is a dangerous intersection already, and this makes it worse. 0 0

this is one of the worst intersections in the whole town. Several (like more than 30) times I have had to back up in order to accommodate a truck or bus getting through the intersection. The way the sidewalk is constructed, it has narrowed the intersection and makes it unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and autos. It seems like City Council is trying to make the city less safe - I don't know wy 3 0

The water was shut off all day no one called the firehouse to have a water tanker ready if there was a fire in the park. They other managers use to call and let the firehouse know about water off.

Traffic is a major problem on Melvin Road, especially during commute times and early evening. Dangerous/illegal driving by passing on double yellow lines happens frequently. Exciting private driveways is becoming less safe due to the way people drive down this street.

The crossing at American canyon rd And Elliott is extremely dark in the evening and could use either new lighting or the flashing crosswalks. There have been several times I have seen close call near misses when drivers can’t see pedestrians crossing the street.

Constantly witness cars NOT stopping at the stop sign at Donaldson and Andrew road.
Some cars never touch the brakes and fly through the intersection.
Have called AmCan PD many times.
We need to put speed bumps down Donaldson.
The fire trucks won’t be bothered a bit

Too much speeding on James Road. Consider speed bumps or other methods to slow vehicular traffic. This will only become worse with all the new traffic from the housing going in on Melvin Road.

This is a long curved road with a blind spot and cars are traveling at excessive speed coming from Donaldson Way toward American Cyn. Rd. No four way stop for pedestrians to walk across safely.

We need something to slow cars down on Elliott dr! Several people take walks and bikes on this street when cars go up to 50mph. I am not exaggerating. What can I do to help support any and all initiatives to slow cars down for our street. You can contact me if you need additional resources. Thank you in advance for constructing this platform.

SR29 Northbound at the American Canyon Rd. intersection.
The left turn lane going towards Safeway should be extended by 2-3 times its current length.
This would alleviate northbound traffic as a large percentage of traffic on 29 will be going to the large residential area down West American Canyon Rd. 1 0

Constant speeding. Favorite U turn location which is unsafe with blind curve.
Impatient drivers drive in bike lane rather than wait for residents to turn into their driveways. They even honk and yell. The 30 mph sign for American Canyon to Donaldson is perplexing with it being a school route. Even buses speed down the road.

The stop sign all four ways is ignored completely during almost all hours. Often multiple cars will ease on through right behind each other to prevent other direction from moving. Complete chaos!

Excessive speeding all along Elliott, but particularly on this stretch I have been passed by cars who go into oncoming traffic if I am trying to actually drive the 25mph speed limit. Tailgating every single day. With the park and Senior Center nearby, this is an extreme hazard.

This is a favorite cut through road to avoid 29 traffic and I also take it. However, I generally have other vehicles riding my bumper as I go the proper speed navigating the bendy road. And then when they hit the intersection they want to turn on, they blow through the stop sign to get around me.

Recognizing you are looking for residential road issues to fix, the reality is the bulk of them are caused by cars seeking to avoid 29 traffic. This road needs to be expanded and have overpasses and pedestrian walkovers to make it safe and flow better. 0 0

No crosswalk for two blocks around the school. Many people cross near the bridge/school and it's a really speedy location for cars. Please consider a 3 way stop and add a crosswalk.

Add divided bike lane. I've seen drivers use the bike lane to overtake the the traffic is too slow (doing speed limit). Make Amcan road safe the entire length for bikers. It's wide enough to put in a concrete divider.

Some times of the year pedestrians are hidden from approaching vehicles waiting @ crosswalk due to overgrown plants. Making it dangerous to cross.
Please replace the tall "grassy" plants with sometime more appropriate. Don't do the usual tactic of just removing everything. We need landscaping but sometime more appropriate.
