Round
Barn Boulevard, are now both signalized and provide some gaps in traffic flow
along
Fountaingrove Parkway. For this reason, City traffic engineering staff have
indicated
their desire not to signalize this intersection. Should the City wish to provide an
improvement measure, consideration could be given to providing a median refuge
area
along Fountaingrove Parkway just east of the intersection to facilitate left turns
from
TLH Drive (West). Resultant operation of left turn movements from TLH Drive
(West)
to Fountaingrove Parkway would be an acceptable LOS D during both the AM and
PM
peak hours.”
Resolving an Unacceptable Signal Warrant because there are nearby traffic
lights makes little sense and is totally unacceptable. Again, we are
concerned about the safety of our citizens. In addition, Volume I Executive
Summary Table ES-1 3.13-1 states a traffic signal would change the impact
from “Significant” to Less than Significant”.
4) The EIR traffic engineer needs to make his own conclusions rather than rely
on the city traffic engineer’s “opinions” while ignoring his own data. See EIR

Improvements A.2. and A.3
