Recommendations were made to address these problems. Review comments and recommendations were provided to the City of Gilroy's traffic engineering staff.

The design projects included traffic signals for private developments and modifications to existing intersections. Base maps were provided by the city and our design staff verified the base map data by conducting a field reconnaissance.

The two major tasks included preparation of an Expressway Planning Vision Report and development of a new design standard for existing narrow streets in urban pocket areas. We also conducted research on the planning status for all major streets in the urban pocket areas. The Expressway Planning Vision study involved assembling an extensive array of previously published information to identify potential improvements to all eight expressways in Santa Clara County. The purpose of the study was to provide background for a comprehensive study of. the entire expressway system addressing' operations, problem accident locations, high occupancy vehicle lanes, bicycle and pedestrian issues, landscaping, pavement management, system expansion, etc. The report includes GIS-based graphics and a lengthy table listing improvements, the source planning documents, and the current status. The new design standard for existing narrow streets was based on recent standards established in other communities and a desire to minimize impacts to adjacent residences. The new 40-foot rightof-way standard will accommodate pedestrian and bicycle travel, while helping to slow vehicular traffic in neighborhoods. We also contacted all of the cities and towns in the County to obtain their standard cross-sections for collector and local streets, as well as the planned improvements to major roadways in the urban pocket areas. .

TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN Our San Jose office has one full-time (Frank Aochi) and one part-time (Kristiann Choy) traffic signal designer and a full-time AutoCAD technician (Mona Sondossi). These staff members have prepared signal plans for many cities throughout Northern California. We have also prepared plans that meet Caltrans specifications, include signal preemption, bicycle detection, and pedestrian considerations (including ADA requirements). Frank has been providing on-call traffic signal design services to the City of San Jose and Gilroy for the past four' years. Our traffic signal design experience includes signal installations and modifications, and signing and striping plan$ for the following locations in and .Mar Los Gatos: • Los Gatos Gateway Signal Modification • Saratoga-Sunnyvale Avenue and Seagull Way •. Saratoga Avenue and State Route 9 • Saratoga-Los Gatos Boulevard and Oak Street TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS • Dobern Avenue and Jackson Ayenue • Bascom Avenue and Moorpark Avenue • Bohlman Road Signing and Striping Modification The transportation professionals at Fehr & Peers Associates have analyzed the traffic impacts of proposed developments, including office, residential, commercial, educational, medical, retail and other land uses. Our staff applies the latest analysis tools and software to develop reliable assessments of traffic impacts. We recommend practical, manageable solutions and innovative mitigation plans. We are very familiar with the requirements of the Town of Los Gatos and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). Since we know how to conduct these studies in detail, we are fully capable of reviewing them. A few examples of TIAs that our San Jose staff has prepared are: • Los Gatos Gateway Project • Saratoga Library Expansion • Los Gatos School Studies Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. • San Jose State University Master Plan • 3 Com Expansion • NASA Reuse Project 8 SOQ Town of Los Gatos On-Call Traffic Engineering Services NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENTITRAFFIC CALMING Our neighborhood traffic management and traffic calming studies begin with collecting volume and speed data and convening neighborhood meetings to understand resident issues and concerns. We recommend traffic calming measures that meet the specific needs of the neighborhood and refine the plan though subsequent community workshops. Conceptual designs of the recommended measures are prepared to illustrate how they fit into the streetscape and to prepare cost estimates. We use AutoTurn to evaluate how trucks and emergency vehicles maneuver around the devices. Please visit our website at www.trafficcalming.org to see examples of traffic calming measures. We have conducted the following traffic calming studies: • Spartan/Keyes Traffic Calming Plan • Eden Avenue Traffic Calming Study • Vendome Neighborhood Traffic Calming PARKING STUDIES The purpose of a parking study is to determine the number of spaces that are needed to accommodate the parking demand. Recommending a number that is too low results in a parking shortage and potential overflow parking into nearby residential neighborhoods or adjacent developments. Recommending a number that is too high can result in parking facilities that are oversized and costly to construct. • East Palo Alto Commuter Mitigation • 488 S.

Tome An important concept that is used to determine the appropriate supply is shared parking. Shared parking looks at the different parking characteristics of various land uses in a mixed-use development (especially the timing difference of when the peak demand occurs) to determine the overall combined peak demand, as opposed to the just the sum of the peak demands of the individual uses. We use this this concept in helping cities determine the parking needs or their largest mixed-use developments the downtowns. Fehr & Peers Associates, Inc. 9 II SOQ Town of Los Gatos On-Call Traffic Engineering Services A few examples of other parking studies that we have conducted are: • Saratoga Village Parking Surveys • North of Bayshore Area Parking Study • Biltmore Hotel Parking Demand Analysis TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING Fehr & Peers Associates has developed citywide models that range frorn Traffix models to a full four-step travel demand-forecasting rnodels.· The type of model depends on the proposed use of the projections and the financial resources the city wishes to devote to the modeling effort. We can work with .City staff to identify the best and most efficient model for their needs, if so desired. • Downtown Sunnyvale Parking Study • Downtown Burlingame Parking Study • Eastside Academy Parking Study The citywide traffic model that we developed for Vacaville is linked to the MTC regional model to ensure consistency with regional estimates of external travel. We developed a sub-area model of the VTA's Santa Clara County model to develop traffic projections in the Sand Hill Corridor. We have a.lso developed models to update Capital Improvement Programs and to develop traffic impact fee programs as we did for the City pf West Sacramento. Our modeling capabilities include the following software MINUTP, EMME/2, TRANPLAN, TransCAD, T-MODEL, TP Plus, Viper. • Foster City Traffix Model .• Woodland Travel Demand Model • Gilroy Traffix Model • West Sacramento Traffic Model Development and Impact Fee Analysis • Tracy Citywide Traffic Model • Petaluma Travel Demand Model • Vacaville Citywide Traffic Model • Dixon Travel Demand Model TRANSPORTATION FACILITY AND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS Fehr & Peers Associates evaluates traffic operations of all types of roadway facilities: single, isolated intersections, coordinated systems of intersections on arterial and expressways, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, and complex systems of freeway interchanges. We also evaluate transit operations and the effect of bus and light rail on intersection operations. Measures that increase capacity, improve circulation, increase safety, reduce air pollution and conserve fuel are identified as a result of our analyses. We use a variety of tools from intersection level of service software (TRAFFIX, HCSj HCS Cinema, Signal 94, CAPSSI, VIC) to microsimulation techniques such as CORSIM and VISSIM. We also use a program called aaSIDRA to evaluate the operations of roundabouts.
