FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Cost of painting red curb, as well as the other
recommended improvements, is approximately $100.00.
Funds for these improvements are budgeted in the
Street Maintenance Operating Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
Staff received a telephone request from Mrs. Cindy Kark, a resident of the
Bloomington/Beckett neighborhood, regarding traffic which originates on
Bloomington Way at the top of tme hill, moves down Bloomington Way, and uses
Beckett Way to access West Vomac Road and ultimately San Ramon Road. This
traffic tends to build up speed coming down the hill and turning right onto
Beckett. Mrs. Kark had asked whether a STOP sign could be installed on
Bloomington Way at Beckett so that the drivers would ~ave to stop before
making the right turn.
TJKM, the City's Traffic Engineer, conducted a field review of the
intersection. While STOP signs are not recommended at this time, TJKM
recommends installing a 25 mph sign for eastbound traffic on Bloomington Way
and painting centerlines on Bloomington Way both north and south of the
Beckett intersection. To increase sight distance at the intersection, TJKM
recommends establishing a 25-foot no parking zone on the east side of
Bloomington Way at Beckett. This curb is along the side of the property at
8669 Beckett Way. Approximately 1-1/2 parking spaces would be removed by this
action, but Staff feels that the need for greater visibility outweighs the
need to retain the parking space.
Finally, TJX.! recommends monitoring traffic flow at this intersection to test
the effectiveness of the improvements. If observations show a need for more
restrictive measures, the implementation of further mitigation should be
considered.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the
resolution establishing a 25-foot no parking zone on the east side of
Bloomington Way south of Beckett Way.

Field Investigations and Recommendations, Bloomington Way and
Beckett Way
Bloomington Way and Beckett Way
The intersection is at the foot of a very steep grade along Bloomington Way. Beckett
Way forms a Tee intersection and is the access street to and from West Vomac Road/
Southwick Drive. Beckett Way is controlled with a STOP sign at its intersection
with Bloomington Way. The predominant traffic movements at this intersection are
turning movements. Very few movements are straight through the intersection on
Bloomington Way. Because of the steep grade on Bloomington Way and the need to
clearly identify and provide for the turning movements at Beckett Way, I
recommend painting centerlines on Bloomington Way north and south of Beckett
Way. The center lines should be approximately 100 feet long. To increase sight
distance at the intersection, approximately 25 feet of the curb on Bloomington Way
at the southeast corner should be painted red. A "25 MPH" speed limit sign should
be installed for eastbound traffic on Bloomington Way on the second electrolier east
of 11437 Bloomington Way. This intersection should be periodically monitored to
test the effectiveness of the recommended improvements. If observations show a
need for more restrictive measures, we should consider the implementation of
further mitigation installations.
