RECOMMENDATION : Consider Request 124N • FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Cost of Traffic Study approximately $860 Cost of Crossing Guard approximately $8,100/yr. DESCRIPTION : The City has received a request from the Murray School District for the City to provide a crossing guard at the intersection of Village Parkway and Davona Drive. Another request has also been received from Ralph Hendricks, 8359 Mulberry Place for a crossing guard at the same location. There are presently four school crossing guards in the City. Two positions are funded by the City (Village Parkway/ Tamarack; San Ramon Road/Shannon Avenue) and two positions are funded by the School District (Village Parkway/Brighton Drive; San Ramon Road/ Amador Valley Boulevard). In order to determine if a crossing guard is warranted at this intersection, the County Traffic Engineer could be requested to perform a study which would include traffic accident analysis, traffic volume count, student pedestrian count and completion of warrant. The County has estimated the cost of such a study to be approximately $860. The estimated annual cost of providing a crossing guard at that location is $8,100. The estimated cost for the remainder of fiscal year 1982-83 is approximately $6,500. If the City Council believes that the City, rather than the School District, has a respon- sibility to insure traffic safety of students walking to and from school , it is recommended that the City Council direct the County to perform a traffic investigation at this location to determine if the crossing guard is warranted at this location.

RECEIVED CITY OFFICES 6500 Dublin Blvd. #100 OCT 71982 Dublin, Ca CITY pr trisuiv To whom it may concern; My family recently moved to Dublin and my children attend the local Dublin schools. It has come to my attention that we are without the benefit of crossing guards at the corner of Davona and Village Parkway. Our neighborhood is brand new and the majority of the families have school age children Cr have four children). The danger of a young child crossing this street,in question, is very real and of great concern to both my family and neighbors. I would Zike to formally request the City Of Dublin to give this matter serious attention. If budget policies require a more formal request for review,please let me know as I would be hcpply to give this problem my full attention. Our neighborhood is named Parkway Terrace and is about two (2) blocks from the crossing noted. Thank you, for your assistance in this matter. .-ct ull 'a" 41i endmcks 8359 Zberry Place Dublin, Ca 829-2796 HAYWARD OAKLAND FREMONT CONCORD SANTA CLARA. 785-4556 483-3101 471-7131 676-1250 980-1335 :, yyagt r) , �:CN*). ) ii-�'etIVI 6)' 47 F a!•:::J � ' � ' � -.
