Willows Neighborhood traffic changes
To help alleviate additional congestion experienced in the Willows neighborhoods due to the Willow Road/U.S. 101 interchange construction, City Council directed staff to implement the following
temporary turn restrictions in December 2017:
- No right turns from Chester Street, Durham Street and O’Keefe Street to Willow Road, 3-7 p.m. weekdays (Except SamTrans and school buses)
- No left turns from Woodland Avenue to Baywood Avenue, 3-7 p.m. weekdays
Additionally, the City Council directed staff to conduct an “after” study to evaluate the effectiveness of the temporary turn restrictions and to return with a recommendation to remove or keep these turn restrictions permanently.
Since the completion of the interchange in late September 2019, staff has collected relevant transportation data and retained a transportation consultant to initiate the “after” study.
As part of the “after” study, staff is sought community feedback on the effectiveness of the temporary turn restriction through an online survey. Staff anticipates to return to the Complete Streets Commission and City Council in spring 2020 with a recommendation based on findings from the “after” study and the online survey.
