1. Northbound Traffic
• Consistently ~500 vph in Peak Hours
2. Southbound Traffic
• ~500 vph in the AM Peak and ~1,000 in the PM peak
• Twice the daily volume of Northbound Traffic
3. Pedestrian Volumes Much Higher at Signalized Intersections
4. Uncontrolled Ped Crossings of Telegraph Underutilized
5. On-Street Parking Utilized, but not at Capacity
6. No Existing or Planned Bike Facilities
Considered Concept Plans
I M P R O V E M E N T C O N C E P T
1. Reduce Northbound to One Travel Lane
2. Replace Lane with Painted Center Median
3. Move Southbound Left Turn Lanes to Center Median
4. Add Curb Bump-Outs to All Side Streets
5. Install Continental Crosswalks at All Pedestrian X-ings
6. Remove Uncontrolled Pedestrian X-ings Across Telegraph
7. Upgrade/Install Decorative Street Lighting

Analysis Prepared for Future (Year 2025) Conditions
Results showed little to no degradation in LOS
Northbound lane can be removed with no noticeable impact to vehicular travel
FUTURE LOS
