In September, 1993, the city Council approved the implementation

traffic signal improvements, traffic diverters, turn restrictions
and roadway restriping. Staff is already proceeding with traffic
s1gnal improvements and has completed the upgrades of most of the
signals in the plan area. This contract will restripe 26th
Street, Colorado Avenue and Broadway from two lanes of traffic in
each direction to one lane 1n each direction. The remaln1ng

components of the plan will be installed by city staff in
conjunction with the restriping project. In particular, the
traffic diverters will be installed in a temporary fashion for a
trial period to determine the acceptability and effectiveness of
these measures.
As directed by the Council, notices will be sent to property
owners, tenants and businesses in the plan area prlor to the
start of implementation. Implementation will be completed ln two
phases. Phase I will include the restriping, stop sign and
traffic circle measures. Phase II will include the more
restrictive diverters and turn-restrictions. The two phase
approach was requested by the Mid City traffic committee due to
the earthquake damage to the Santa Monica Freeway. Phase II is
tentatively scheduled to be implemented in the summer. Staff
plans to send two notices for each phase, the first,
approximately one month prior to implementation, and a second
notice approximately one week prior to implementatlon.
Implementation of Phase I is tentatively scheduled to begin the
week of May 2, 1994, and will take approximately one month to
complete. In addition, in conjunction with the plan, staff will
be implementing a "traffic hotline" telephone number for
motorists to call to express their comments. The hotline number
will be posted at key areas in the plan area. The hotline calls
will be directed to a voice mail box and reviewed by staff on a
daily basis. .
