BACKGROUND:
On June 7, 2016, the Council approved the temporary closure of South Santa Cruz Avenue a t
Wood Road from June 25 through July 10, 2016. On August 2, 2016 the Town Council directed
staff to continue the closure through the Labor Day holiday and to continue traffic -related data
collection. In addition, staff was directed to begin looking at long term options for mitigating
summer cut through traffic.

DISCUSSION:
Traffic for the duration of the summer proved similar to the early weekends of the closure, with
significant relief to the residential neighborhoods south of Highway 9 and a significant decrease
in traffic in the downtown business area.
Traffic on other local streets demonstrated varied impacts. Streets such as Los Gatos
Boulevard, Highway 9, and University and Santa Cruz Avenues continue d to experience very
impactful cut through traffic. On the worst of days, traffic impacts spilled over onto smaller
residential streets, such as Magneson Loop off of Los Gatos Boulevard or Rose and Andrews
Avenues off of Highway 9. These impacts result ed largely from mapping applications, which
directed traffic to smaller residential streets to achieve incremental reductions in travel times.
This is a phenomenon that many jurisdictions throughout the Bay Area experience in
conjunction with commute traffic. Staff anticipates these traffic patterns to continue.
Resolving these challenges completely may not be feasible. Some minor relief may be possible
through capital improvement projects, such as traffic signal upgrades that move the traffic
more efficiently.
The pilot closures allowed staff to study and collect data on impacts in relation to the closure.
A report from the Town’s consultant, Traffic Patterns, and summarized data are included as
Attachments 1 and 2.
Staff has ensured that Caltrans has been well informed through this pilot program as they must
provide approval for any ongoing closure and Caltrans’ continued support of the Town’s interim
activities is necessary1. Some of the observations and hypotheses from the data collected
through the summer include the following:
Overall, there was a significant increase in traffic entering Los Gatos on Winchester and
Los Gatos Boulevard at Lark Avenue in comparison with 2015 base data.
On southbound Winchester Boulevard at Lark Avenue, a greater number of vehicles
followed the signage towards Highway 17, demonstrating that information may be
working.
On southbound Los Gatos Boulevard at Lark Avenue, traffic continued the trend of going
straight through and not heeding signage directing vehicles back to Highway 17. This
materialized in measured and observed queues along Los Gatos Boulevard, especially
south of Blossom Hill Road.
Left turn movements on southbound Santa Cruz and University Avenues onto Highway 9
have experienced continued heavy traffic as vehicles use those routes to Highway 17.
1 The Town has an agreement with the Santa Clara County Traffic Authority (the predecessor to the V alley
Transportation Authority), that requires the Traffic Authority to provide an agreement with Caltrans to allow for
the management of the South Santa Cruz onramp due to traffic conditions. There is no evidence that such an
agreement with Caltrans was ever executed.

DISCUSSION (cont’d):
Compared with July data, there were some increases in traffic entering the downtown
from Highway 9, which may demonstrate increased access to the downtown in August
through Labor Day.
Traffic at Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue showed vehicles headed towards parking
areas. Combined with decreased numbers leaving the downtown at Highway 9, these
data may point to visitors staying downtown.
The closure at Wood Road directly impacted the Caltrans onramp to Highway 17 and as a result,
any permanent infrastructure or ongoing closure will require permits from Caltrans. Town staff
has met with Caltrans to begin discussions on how to advance a future project. These steps
outline that process:
1. The Town needs to develop a concept project to include conceptual plans and a
feasibility study for the proposed work, including options for control of the Wood Road
intersection. These would be submitted to Caltrans as preliminary documents for a
permit.
2. Caltrans provides their reaction or input to the permit submittals. This is the first
opportunity for the Town to get documented feedback on whether a project would be
permitted by Caltrans.
3. Assuming a positive review, the Town would develop full plans and specifications for the
project. Caltrans would continue to review the project and refine its input to the permit
request.
4. Once the project scope is fully identified, staff can revise the project cost estimate and
identify funding.
5. The project requires environmental review, including a traffic analysis prior to
construction.
6. After the completion of environmental review and project approval, construction can
begin.
The entire timeline for this process is two to three years. In order to assess the first task, staff
engaged one of the Town’s on call engineering consultants, W-Trans. On call engineering
consultants are selected through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to provide specialized
services on an as needed basis. W-Trans specializes in roundabouts and has extensive local
experience working with Caltrans, making them well qualified for this work. W-Trans estimates
that the cost of steps one and two above is $66,000. If the Council wishes to pursue this project
through steps one and two, funding could be allocated from the remaining Cut Through Traffic
Mitigation Capital Improvement Project (Project Number 813-0229) and through a supplement
of $9,908 from the Traffic Impact Mitigation Fund.

DISCUSSION (cont’d):
Previous Town efforts identified a roundabout in proximity to the current location as a gateway
project for the Town. That plan, completed in 2003, estimated a project construction cost of
$500,000. With Consumer Price Index adjustments, that anticipated cost today would increase
to $650,000. Additional costs for project design and project delivery could add $250,000 to the
project cost. The overall project scope will significantly influence these costs. The Town will
need to identify funding for this project if the Council decides to move forward with it. Funding
sources may include Traffic Impact Mitigation funds, Town Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
funds, and potential Transportation Initiative funding resulting from the November 2016
Measure B.
Given the projected timeline for this project, the Town may wish to consider other measures
for implementation during upcoming summers:
Street Closure Events.
An event similar to the Spring into Green event held last year, may provide one option. This
event required expenditures of approximately $10,000. Partnerships with downtown
businesses may provide an opportunity to lower these costs. A relocation to a section of Santa
Cruz Avenue would help this type of event serve dual purposes. Similar events that provide
“open streets” or convert parts of the street to pedestrian zones may also be effective. Staff
suggests that closing North Santa Cruz Avenue from Main Street to Elm Street may be a
worthwhile trial, pending coordination with local businesses.
A trial closure of Santa Cruz Avenue to support an event would identif y any unanticipated
impacts, including how traffic reroutes in reaction. Advanced planning would need to occur to
avoid increased cut through in residential neighborhoods. If interest lies in this type of solution,
staff would appreciate Council input on advancing this type of event alone or in conjunction
with a closure at Wood Road.
Ongoing Closure at Wood Road
The Town may wish to consider ongoing summer closures similar to that from last summer,
which will allow for continued data collection and analysis that may be necessary for the
project. The temporary closure, data collection, and study costs over last summer totaled
approximately $160,000. This option is viable in support of a continued effort to install a
permanent roundabout at Wood Road to facilitate ongoing closures, but not as a solution by
itself.
If the Council would like to continue this option, staff will need advance funding for the period
from the Memorial Day weekend through June 30 (11 closure days) and additional funding
allocations

S:\COUNCIL REPORTS\2016\12-06-16\07 Pilot Closure Results\07 Staff Report FINAL.docx 12/1/2016 6:48 PM SLL
DISCUSSION (cont’d):
for next fiscal year beginning July 1 through Labor Day (21 closure days). Using expenditures
from last year, the average daily cost is approximately $9,000, which leads to a total estimated
2017 cost of $288,000 ($99,000 in FY 2016/17). Based on Council input, staff could present the
request for these funds as a FY 2016/17 midyear budget adjustment and through the FY
2017/18 Capital Budget program.
Capital Projects
Town staff previously identified capital projects, including signal modifications, lane changes,
and signage to help alleviate traffic beyond the downtown. Staff will provide recommendations
for these projects for Council consideration through scheduled Council Priority Setting Study
Session in January and through the FY 2017-18 Capital Budget Program. Attachment 1 provides
near term and long term options for capital improvements. Council input on the projects could
guide staff in preparation for further review.
CONCLUSION:
The closure of South Santa Cruz Avenue has had a significant impact on traffic in the
downtown. On the positive side, traffic flows have been normalized and congestion within the
downtown is minimized. The solution continues to create a barrier to the downtown at and
approaching Highway 9, making it difficult to enter the downtown area. Additionally, the
solution does not provide relief to the areas of Town north of Highway 9.
It is requested that the Town Council:
1. Provide direction on next steps to address summer cut through traffic, including direction
for the summer of 2017 and potential future capital projects.
2. Approve a budget adjustment and the appropriation of $9,908 from the Traffic Impact
Mitigation Fund to the Cut Through Traffic Project 813 -0229.
3. Authorize the Town Manager to execute an Agreement with W-Trans for engineering
consulting services in an amount not to exceed $66,000.
COORDINATION:
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department and the Town Attorney.

Highway 17 On-Ramp Extended Closure Observations
Introduction
The Town of Los Gatos closed the Santa Cruz Avenue on-ramp to Highway 17 Southbound through the
Summer to collect data regarding traffic pattern changes from June 25th to July 17th. At the July 26th
Town Council directed for an Extended Closure through the remainder of Summer to the weekend of
September 3rd. This Tech Memo documents additional field and traffic data observations and findings
through the Extended Closure.
Background
The Town of Los Gatos initiated an extensive traffic data collection process in the Summer of 2015
aimed at establishing baselines for the development of alternatives to help reduce Highway Cut Through
traffic from Highway 17 through the Town. Traffic Patterns participated in the initial 2015 study and
developed a series of improvement options, see Exhibit A for List of 2015 Improvement Options. The
improvement options ranged from simple roadway marking and signage improvements to changeable
message sign improvements both on the highway system and on local streets. Those improvements
already completed are highlighted in Exhibit A.
This past Summer 2016 the Town closed the Santa Cruz Avenue on-ramp to Highway 17 southbound to
allow for additional data collection and comparison to the 2015 baseline conditions. The Summer 2016
closure included an initial Test Closure between during June 25th to July 17th and an Extended Closure
from August 6th through September 4th. Findings from the Test Closure were presented to the Los Gatos
Town Council on July 26th and included an extensive data comparison between 2015 and 2016. This
report focuses on field observations and data comparisons during the Extended Closure period.
Data from the Test Closure helped advise the decision to continue with the Extended Closure for
additional data comparison.

Analysis
Data Collection
Traffic data collection through the Extended Closure period focused on Turning Movement Count data
between the hours of 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for each weekend day. Image sensors were used to store
buffered video that were later processed off-site to help count the number of vehicles turning left,
proceeding straight, or turning right at each approach of every intersection. Pedestrian and bicycle
count data for each count period were also collected. The analysis within this section focuses on vehicle
data findings only. The pedestrian and bicycle count data can be used for future data comparison and
other projects such as the active Bicycle & Pedestrian Transportation Plan.
The following data comparison focuses on how advanced warning signage influenced motorist behavior
at key decision areas that impact traffic patterns within the Town such as along Lark Avenue, Blossom
Hill Road, Highway 9, and in the Downtown Business Distinct. The data comparison also focuses on the
2-hour period between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM when traffic volumes on Highway 17 are at their peak.
North Los Gatos
Advanced warning signage advising motorists about the Santa Cruz Av Downtown Ramp closure was
installed north of Lark Avenue on Winchester Boulevard and Los Gatos Boulevard. The signage advised
encouraged the use of Lark Avenue to access Highway 17 Southbound. On Winchester Boulevard one of
the two southbound through lanes was also closed to visually discourage cut-through traffic from
proceeding towards Downtown.

Vehicle volumes proceeding towards Downtown on Winchester Boulevard from Los Gatos Boulevard
was higher in 2016 compared to the 2015 baseline data. The significantly higher volumes tend to
indicate an increase in regional traffic volumes but the 2015 baseline data represents only one weekend
in mid-June while the Trial and Extended Closure volumes represent July and August volumes over
multiple weekends. Through the Extended Closure period volumes showed a continued downward
trend possibly indicating that the advanced warning signage messages and public messaging regarding
the closure was starting to change motorist behavior.
The southbound left turn volumes at Winchester Boulevard & Lark Avenue during the Extended Closure
showed an average 60% increase compared to 2015 baseline data. The increase also indicates that the
advanced warning signage was having a positive effect and further strengthens the need for better
dynamic signage to advice motorists regarding traffic conditions to more quickly direct traffic towards
Highway 17 as north as possible in the Town.

Blossom Hill Road
Traffic data collection along Blossom Hill Road through the Extended Closure period focused on field
observations, no turning movement data in along Blossom Hill Road intersections was collected. The
following bulleted list summarizes observations noted by Traffic Patterns during the Trial Closure and
first week of the Extended Closure Period:
Blossom Hill Road & Santa Cruz Avenue
Queues from Highway 9 extend to and North of Blossom Hill Road resulting in reduced
travel times along the Santa Cruz Avenue Corridor
Blossom Hill Road & University Avenue
Westbound left turn queues can extend to the Vasona Park Main Entry
Queues from Highway 9 during the noon hour peak period extended north of Blossom Hill
Road
Queues at Blossom Hill & University Avenue resulted in more traffic along Roberts Road, a
traffic pattern not noted in 2015, this may be a result of mobile app traffic diversion
Blossom Hill Road & Los Gatos Boulevard
Queues on Los Gatos Boulevard from Nino Avenue extended to Blossom Hill Road
Visual increases in southbound right turn increases from Los Gatos Boulevard onto Blossom
Hill Road were noted and consistent with queue increases at Blossom Hill Road & University
and along Roberts Road
Highway 9
Along Highway 9 traffic data collection was focused at the Santa Cruz Avenue, University Avenue, and
Los Gatos Boulevard intersections. At Santa Cruz Avenue, an average 58% increase in southbound left
turns was noted with increases highest in the later weekends of the Extended Closure. This increase is a
positive trend noting that motorists were aware of the on-ramp closure in Downtown and were using
Highway 9 as a last effort to get towards Highway 17 Southbound. Continuing straight on Santa Cruz
Avenue towards Downtown, traffic volumes were only 6% lower compared to the 2015 baseline data
noting only a minor decrease in likely Downtown destination traffic; this can be viewed as a positive
measure to Downtown business.
At University Avenue, the Highway 9 Eastbound traffic volumes show a 20% increase in the later
weekends of the Extended Closure noting the increase in traffic towards the Highway 17 ramps.
Although the increases in traffic volumes towards Highway 9 at both Santa Cruz Avenue and University
are a positive trend in diverting traffic towards the Highway 9/Highway 17 ramps, the lower volumes
note the need for infrastructure improvements to better facilitate traffic movements and reduce queue
lengths north of Highway 9. Past project recommendations by Traffic Patterns continue to remain
strong considerations including a Double Southbound Left Turn at Santa Cruz Avenue, improved traffic
signal coordination along Highway 9, and on-ramp widening improvements at the Highway 9 & Highway
17 Southbound On-Ramp.

Traffic Patterns PO BOX 25 Danville, CA 94526 info@trafficpatterns.net (408) 916-8141
At Highway 9 & Los Gatos Boulevard southbound through volumes towards Downtown were down an
average 21% through the Extended Closure while the southbound right turn volumes towards the
Highway 9 & Highway 17 ramps showed an increase of 14%. The southbound right turn movement is
lower than anticipated but is also consistent with lower volumes trends in the later months; the first
weekend of the Extended Closure the percent increase in southbound right turn movements was 27%
while in the last weekend of the closure it was only 5% lower.
Downtown Los Gatos Business District
Data collection and analysis in the Downtown Business District focused on the Main Street & Santa Cruz
Avenue and Main Street & University Avenue intersections. Both locations show a significant reduction
in traffic from the Los Gatos Boulevard direction, average westbound through volume reduction at
University Avenue of 26% consistent with lower volumes from the Highway 9 & Los Gatos Boulevard
intersections.
Queues along both Santa Cruz Avenue and University Avenue were also noted as significantly reduced or
gone all together. The removal of traffic queues gave the Downtown Core are between Main Street and
Bean Avenue a more comfortable walking experience. On-street parking in this area was noted as
always fully parked during the 2-hour peak period observations with on-street parking demand nearly
fully occupied north towards Bachman Avenue. Once Downtown traffic past Highway 9, moving through
and parking in the Downtown was noted as significantly easier.
Findings & Recommendations
The Extended Closure of the Santa Cruz Avenue On-Ramp to Highway 17 Southbound showed a
continued trend in use of the Lark Avenue and Highway 9 ramps, a positive trend in reducing cut-
through traffic in the Town. The ramp closure remains a labor-intensive process, Traffic Patterns
recommends studying alternatives to reconfigure the Santa Cruz Avenue & Wood Road intersection into
a traditional round-about configuration to simplify the on-ramp closure process if the Town chooses to
pursue more recurring closure alternatives. Infrastructure improvements in conjunction with active
traffic signal system upgrades planned around the Town such as dynamic changeable message signs will
also help to reduce the on-going operations cost of the ramp closure.
