City of Santa Clara
MenuLos Olivos Drive Traffic Calming
Current Status: In Progress
Background
On August 26, 2024, the City received a written petition requesting Level 2 and Level 3 traffic calming measures to be considered on Los Olivos Drive between Homestead Road and Forbes Avenue. The City completed a traffic engineering study and found Los Olivos Drive to meet the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program’s criteria for Level 2 traffic calming measures.
Updates
On October 10, the City held a hybrid Community meeting at the City’s Community Recreation Center and over Zoom to discuss the results of the study and receive Community input. Community outreach for the meeting was completed by mailing notification letters to properties fronting Los Olivos Drive and posting to the Nextdoor neighborhood.
City Staff are currently evaluating locations for permanent vehicle speed feedback signs and design considerations for Level 2 measures such as gateways, chokers, and chicanes. A survey will be mailed to properties fronting Los Olivos Drive for consent of vehicle speed feedback sign placement and Level 2 traffic calming measures.
