Traffic Study update: UPDATED TRAFFIC STUDY DOCUMENT
The updated Traffic Study has been submitted and reviewed as part of the follow-up requirements.  The Study includes updating the traffic counts. The study also proposed revising the project to have an internal ‘stop sign’ for residents leaving Woodmark (north of the shared driveway) instead of at the exit to Bear Meadows.

The City has reviewed the study and accepted the analysis, which would require pedestrian improvements across Bodega (a rapid flashing beacon).  Following are conclusions of the analysis:

  • The updated traffic and queuing analysis shows the impact to the neighboring Bear Meadows development will not be significant. No changes to the eastern access configuration are needed.
  • The updated signal warrant analysis shows that the intersection of Bodega Avenue & Robinson Road does not meet the minimum volume warrant thresholds for a traffic signal.
  • To improve pedestrian safety crossing Bodega Avenue at Robinson Road, a RRFB crossings are recommended as the most appropriate intersection improvement.
