Traffic Calming plan for Eden Ave between Williams and Payne as of 5/1/2002

This preliminary plan was developed by the City of San Jose in response to community input and traffic data gathered on Eden Ave between Williams and Payne. The location of each proposed bulbout will be field marked (orange painted) by 5/10/2002. Then, by 5/31/2002, a petition developed by the City will be delivered to the PROPERTY OWNER of the homes which fall inside of the purple boundary on the map. This includes all homes touching Eden, Finch, and Yuba (up to Runnymede on Yuba).

Traffic Calming Device or Feature	Test plan before 5/1/2002	Proposed plan as of 5/1/2002
Yellow Center Line & Reflectors	Installed.	Remove by sand blasting so that the yellow lines are not replaced with black lines.
Chokers / chicane	Only a few installed on the West side of the street and near the traffic circle.	Use chokers on both sides of the street to create a chicane or s-shape street so that the cars do not have a straight speedway. The chokers will be within the existing white side lines. There will be a 28 ft clearance between chokers. Property owner's buyoff is needed before choker is installed.
Traffic Circle	21 ft diameter and 9 ft to closest curb.	Smaller circle with mountable sides. 11 ft diameter plus 3 foot mountable sides. 11 ft to closest curb.
Pedestrian and bike path	No new sidewalks. East side has no walkway.	Add asphalt pathway along most of the portions on the East side of Eden Ave (blue lines on the map). The path will be routed between the choker and existing plants. Existing landscaping will stay.
Bulbouts at Williams to narrow the entrance.	None	In the proposal
Textured Crosswalks at WIlliams and at Payne	Proposed for permanent plan	Proposed for permanent plan
Bike safety	Safety zone created by painting white lines down each side of the street as place holders for textured pavement to be chosen by the residents.	Proposed path along the East side of Eden can be used by bikes.
