Subject: TraƯic Impact Study on Bodega Avenue
Dear Ms. Hart & City Council,
Hello, I am a senior resident at Burbank Heights & Orchards on Bodega Avenue. Last month, I requested an item be put on the Public Works' Agenda for a TraƯic Impact and/or Speed Study for Bodega Avenue, focusing on the areas near our residences at Burbank Heights & Orchards.
We would to request the City to address this high volume traƯic area and its resultant noise pollution as it impacts the health and well being of our community. The fast-moving traƯic not only produces non-stop noise, but makes it risky for seniors to cross the crosswalk at Nelson, as well as, safely pulling in or out of the property.
It is my understanding that new legislation would allow a speed reduction to 20mph and that a Speed Study may be considered at the start of the Fiscal Year in July 2026.
We appreciate your attention to this matter as the reduction in speed (and the possibility of a street light at Virginia) would greatly improve the health of the senior community at Burbank Heights & Orchards, as well as, bicyclists traversing the newly implemented bike trail on Bodega.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Julie Peterson
