The neighborhood is utilized by vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians sharing major and local streets that connect the Silver Lake neighborhood to the rest of Los Angeles and beyond. In 2013, after a 90-day testing period, a former four-lane portion of Rowena Avenue became a permanent two-lane road (one traffic lane in each direction) with a middle turning lane and dedicated bike lanes on both sides of the street adjacent to on-street parking. Since implementation of the road diet, concerns have been raised by community members related to the potential effects of the road diet on other streets in the area. Specifically, recent concerns regarding cut-through traffic on Waverly Drive and Angus Street have been discussed and highlighted. Concerned community members have raised concerns that more vehicles are traveling along these streets increasing the potential for conflict with pedestrians, including children walking to school, parents with strollers, and joggers. This study focuses on the traffic patterns along Waverly Drive and Angus Street as these corridors relate to Rowena Avenue. Angus Street is a windy, hill-based residential corridor; Waverly Drive is also a residential corridor, with partial curb. Rowena Avenue is a mix of residential and commercial based properties. Additionally, Rowena Avenue serves as a major thoroughfare to and from California State Route 2 (SR-2) and Interstate Highway 5 (I-5) and as an alternative for connecting the eastern and western portions of the City of Los Angeles. The City of Los Angeles’ Council District 4 office recommended initiating this study to analyze and examine existing conditions in the area, specifically along Waverly Drive and Angus Street. This study will present existing traffic conditions in the project area, identify issues, and recommend potential strategies to help mitigate or alleviate those issues. Recommendations presented in this report are based on solutions developed through public input, technical analysis, and a cost/benefit analysis. 5 GL EN E LA FE LA YN K O O LEG PROJECT AREA LIZ A OLAD Figure 1- Project Area Boundary ARB G RN R EE BU N FE N H C CI N Project Study Area FI RA G ET TR ER IM K R R O SHA N DOW RIO HY VALLEY OE VIEW MA N AY DS LIN NO DO RA G MORE SCOT A LE N RO ER LV SI ST M AR MEADOW LAN LAND LYRIC NH E FL BRIGHT TER VE SIL R EDGEWATER FF LI C ED H RT O W IL EN LA SI LV E BA L ME R NE UT R E L CI BANCROFT R 6 FERNWOOD DEANE KE K BRIER A ROCK REDROCK CHILDS PANORAMA IC DR UR Y SILVERADO LY R ER H TC IVA LAKE CY TRA TRACY D T ON EM AR CL TESLA O WO NA ROKEBY PUTNAM L KE EM AR CL Y NH IL LA T ON LE IVA IVAN A H RT WO NIL H ANGUS KE MICHELTORE A LO N PE S KS LAW SILVER LAKE N RL Y LO C WEST SILVER LAKE EV A WA VE K K GLENDALE PA EB TH AVE N R ROW ENA FI E N N ID EL ER O RS B U IF N AU R EL H G AVE N LA P AZ AC VE Y E RG EO A Project Area Boundary TE Arterial Classified Streets SI RE K RI O LL Y LE L EL M M O DA IC ST H D RO FT W AX G R C FARWELL SURRY S LO FE A R ETTRICK Z LI SW TY TEVIOT Y LE X TH U H BE M ION N L N Maxwell AStreet The Project Area limits are Riverside Drive to the north, to the west, Glendale Boulevard RGA D SU LE G V G A IN was to the east, and Scotland Street to the South.

These work-groups were appointed by the L.A City Council District 4 member David Ryu, and were comprised of local residents and stakeholders. The work-group meetings were designed to facilitate open dialogue about the challenges and opportunities within the Project Area. Discussion was directed toward mobility and the needs of motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The first work-group meeting was held on September 25, 2017 at the Hollywood District Office. Members at this meeting expressed positive views regarding the two-way center-turnlane implemented as part of the Rowena Avenue reconfiguration. The desire to keep this amenity while improving transportation on the street network was stated.

Other uses, mostly along Rowena Avenue, include neighborhood commercial and retail, small offices, schools, and restaurants. Existing land uses are shown in Figure 5 – Existing Land Use. Waverly Drive and Angus Street are lined with Single and Multi-Family residential. GENERAL PLAN LAND USE The General Plan Land Use map shows a mix of commercial, residential, and public facilities land use designations within the project area. As shown in Figure 6 – General Plan Land Use Designations, commercial land use designations are mostly located along Rowena Avenue, Hyperion Avenue, and Glendale Boulevard. Residential land use designations are located adjacent to commercial uses, but oriented along smaller residential streets such as Waverly Drive and Angus Street. ACTIVITY GENERATORS the two parallel streets which provide connections from Hyperion Avenue to Glendale Boulevard. These residential streets – Waverly Drive and Angus Street – are often used as alternatives to traveling along Rowena Avenue during peak period traffic. Waverly Drive is a residential street, lined with single- and multi-family units. On-street parking is available on one side of the corridor; parking alternates between angled and parallel. The street is used as part of the Ivanhoe Elementary School’s traffic routing for children drop-off/pick-up. Drivers are routed north along Herkimer Street and Auburn Street to continue either east or west along Waverly Drive. Angus Street, also a residential street, provides access to the many single-family residences along the street. It serves as a connection to Micheltorena Street, Moreno Drive, and Kenilworth Avenue as well. Angus Street is curvilinear as it proceeds up and down a slight hill in the area. There are several locations within the project area that are considered “activity generators.” These locations contain existing uses that contribute to traffic patterns and volumes in the area, including (but not limited to) Ivanhoe Elementary School, Camelot Kids CDC, Trader Joe’s, and Gelson’s Market. A new multi-unit development is slated to be constructed along Waverly Drive. MOBILITY CORRIDORS Rowena Avenue impacts the connecting streets within the local and larger transportation network. This section of the Study Area (Rowena Avenue from Hyperion Avenue to Glendale Boulevard) is approximately 2,552 feet or 0.48 mile.

As portrayed in this Plan, Rowena Avenue provides connections in the street network to two other corridors classified as Avenue II: Hyperion Avenue and Glendale Boulevard/Fletcher Drive. An Avenue II designation means that the corridor is designed with 86 feet of right-of-way with 56 feet of roadway width. The “roadway width” is typically described as the area between curbs. Angus Street on-street parking Angus Street is a winding residential street with elevation change. The majority of Angus Street is a two-way residential street without center striping, with on-street parallel parking permitted on the north side of the corridor. On the east side of Angus Street, a small portion of the street allows for parking no both sides. Both Waverly Drive and Angus Street have minimal to non-existent sidewalk facilities. Other collector and local streets connect with Rowena Avenue within the immediate neighborhood street network. Waverly Drive and Angus Street are not designated on the Citywide General Plan Circulation System. Rowena Avenue is designed as a three-lane undivided avenue, which includes a center two-way left-turn lane. It maintains bicycle lanes in both directions of travel as well as metered on-street parking on both sides of the corridor. Waverly Drive and Angus Street, are designed as residential streets. Waverly Drive is currently a two-lane corridor without center striping and with on-street parking on the south side of the corridor. Existing parking alternates between parallel and head-in parking. Curbs are present along small segments on the north side of the street. 15 N IZ EL NF IO LEG LE DA E L G V A IN LL EY RG R LIZ IN G K FE LE N H M U ARB G ETTRICK TR AVE N EL ER K IM ER LA P AZ N AVE N EL R R O DOW N OE ROKEBY NH HY VALLEY IVA VIEW MA N AY DS LIN NO DO RA GLENDALE MORE S SCOT WEST SILVER LAKE A LE NG RO R E ILV ST M AR MEADOW CY TRA T ON TER VE SIL FF LI C ED R EDGEWATER ROCK REDROCK CHILDS PANORAMA IC DR UR Y SILVERADO LY R H RT O W IL EN DEANE LA K ME LE R RA BA L SI LV E R BANCROFT NE UT FERNWOOD EARL CI TE R EDENDAL PE X BA X BARTH A CO VE FO RD E SD AL WINDSOR RE DE CARNA TION CASTLE LIF ED GE C LT N MA RO CK FE LOMA VISTA LANDA 16 MA BRIER E K LU ER H TC E FL BRIGHT LAN LAND LYRIC NH ILL LAKE D EM AR TRACY O WO CL TESLA Y KE PUTNAM ENA A LA T ON M RE LE IVA IVAN A H RT WO NIL H ANGUS KE MICHELTOR A CL KS LAW PE S RL Y LO C FARWELL SHA N N LO WA VE K K RIO EV A E IT R ROW ENA EB PA A CI RA G N O FI TH CH B U IF LE Project Area BoundaryCRES A RI VE Inlets RS ID E Casing Lines Pipes AU R DA Project Study Area K H G LL Y Y E N O N RG O H D RO FI ET EO M R C L IC ST SW EL M G BU TY FT W AX ER SILVER LAKE SURRY S LO FE EN A N N D RN EE A R R D ST R Figure 7- Infrastructure and Utility Locations Map FE A R A OLAD Z LI A G A B S LO LA TEVIOT Y LE TH X U H BE M LA YN N N SU CO VE ROWENA WAVERLY ANGUS STUDY INFRASTRUCTURE The location, condition, and accessibility of utilities and basic infrastructure features can greatly affect daily operations, construction timelines, and funding capabilities. Acknowledging these potential impacts, Figure 7 - Infrastructure and Utilities Map displays the water and stormwater utilities present within the Study Area. The location of these utilities has the potential to impact the ability and cost of any construction/reconstruction that may occur within the study area. Signalized intersections within this study area are generally located where more commercial oriented streets intersect. Whereas, stop-controlled intersections typify the intersection of residential streets. Within the study area, traffic signals are located at the intersections of: Utility hole coverings on Angus Street • Glendale Blvd/Rowena Ave/Lakewood Ave • Glendale Blvd/Fletcher Dr/Silver Ridge Ave • Glendale Boulevard/Silver Lake Boulevard • W Silver Lake Drive/Rowena Avenue • Hyperion Avenue/Rowena Avenue • Hyperion Avenue/Monon Street • Hyperion Avenue/Tracy Street • Griffith Park Blvd/Hyperion Avenue Signalized Intersection of W Silver Lake Drive & Rowena Avenue Additionally, the City DOT staff recently studied the intersection of Waverly Drive and Glendale Boulevard. The findings of the study indicated that the intersection is warranted for a traffic signal. This recommendation will be included in the recommendations of this study. Stop-controlled intersection of W Silver Lake Drive and Angus Street 17 PUBLIC TRANSIT FACILITIES BICYCLE FACILITIES Bus service is available along a portion of the Rowena Avenue Corridor via LA Metro Local or Limited Line service. Route 201 travels along Rowena Avenue east of West Silver Lake Drive. Routes 92 and 96 travel north/south and intersect Rowena Avenue at Glendale Avenue, then travel east/west along Glendale. Table 1 - Metro Route Headways represents the headways of these routes as expressed by Metro. A physical bus stop is present along Rowena Avenue. It is located on the north side of Rowena Avenue (westbound traffic) in front of the fire station. This stop includes a shelter and bench, and has additional space for a bus “pull-out” in the area that is dedicated to on-street parking along the remainder of Rowena Avenue. The County of Los Angeles Bicycle Master Plan (2012) identifies existing and proposed bicycle network for the County. Griffith Park Boulevard and Silver Lake Avenue are designated by this plan as existing Class II – Bike Lane facilities. This means that the bike lane does not have a striped or physical buffer separating bicyclists from motorists. Also noted on this plan are bicycle facilities as proposed by other jurisdictions including: Glendale Boulevard, Fletcher Drive, Rowena Avenue, W Silver Lake Drive, and Armstrong Avenue. As part of the reconstruction that took place on Rowena Avenue in 2013, the street now includes a Class II bicycle facility (dedicated bicycle lane without a buffer that separates bicyclists and motorists).

Along Rowena Avenue, sidewalks are generally wide with occasional street trees and landscaping as buffers between pedestrians and vehicles. They are in good-to-fair condition. However, the high number of driveways impact the consistency of the sidewalk facilities. Designated pedestrian crossings across Rowena Avenue are present at the intersections with Glendale Boulevard, W Silver Lake Drive, and Hyperion Avenue. These crossing are equipped with pedestrian countdown signal heads. Beginning where Waverly Drive crosses Hyperion Avenue and continues east, sidewalks do not exist on either side of the roadway until Auburn Street. East of Auburn Street, five-foot sidewalks are present on both sides of the street. Streets that provide connections from Rowena Avenue up to Waverly Drive (such as Avenel Street, Herkimer Street, Auburn Street, etc.) have relatively steep slopes; although they have typical sized sidewalks, their grade makes for problematic ADA facilities especially in regards to ramps. Rowena Avenue Southside Sidewalk (looking West) Missing Sidewalk along Waverly Drive (looking West) Angus Street from Griffith Park Boulevard to Kenilworth Avenue contains a sidewalk facility on the north side of the street. However, the facility is approximately two- to two and one-half feet wide; which primarily allows a designated space for ‘doorswing’ for vehicles parked on the street. The Project Area lacks a consistent pedestrian oriented wayfinding network. Figure 8 - Transit, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Facilities represents some of the existing facilities within the Project Area.

This on-street parallel parking is metered and subject to two-hour time limits. Parking is heavily utilized by those venturing to the commercial and retail uses found along Rowena Avenue. On-street parking is also present along residential streets in the study area. Along Angus Street, the narrow right-of-way and curvature of the road also allows the presence of on-street parking. Waverly Drive maintains on-street parking along one-side of the corridor, transitioning between parallel parking to head-in, angled parking. OPERATIONS TRAFFIC COUNTS Vehicles accessing the corridor and their various travel patterns greatly impact the overall corridor operations. Table 2 - Average Daily Traffic Volumes identifies the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of three major corridors within the Study Area. The daily volumes presented in this report are a combination of historical data and recently collected volumes. The recent volumes for Rowena Avenue, Hyperion Avenue, and Glendale Drive were collect in March and September of 2017. TURNING MOVEMENT COUNTS Turning movement counts were gathered for specific intersections within the study area. Figure 9- Turning Movement Count displays the location, and the corresponding AM/PM turning movement vehicular counts. On-Street Parking along Angus Street At the intersection of Hyperion Avenue and Rowena Avenue, more westbound vehicles on Rowena Avenue turn south onto Hyperion Avenue than north. The opposite is true for eastbound vehicles. A similar pattern can be seen for those traveling north/south along Hyperion Avenue: more northbound travelers turn east onto Rowena Avenue than west; more southbound travelers turn west onto Rowena Avenue than east. The intersection of Silver Lake Drive and Angus Street indicates that for eastbound travel along Angus Street, there are almost seven times the number of vehicles traveling in the PM peak hour than the AM peak hour. A similar pattern was not displayed in the westbound movements. Turning movement counts for intersections within the Study Area presented in this Report were taken in September of 2017. 21 Table 2 - Average Daily Traffic Volumes Corridor Start Limit Rowena Avenue Glendale Boulevard Griffith Park Boulevard Riverside Drive Hyperion Avenue Glendale Boulevard End Limit North bound South bound West bound East bound Hyperion Avenue N/A N/A 12,949 12,551 Waverly Drive 19,281 19,151 N/A N/A Waterloo Street 13,030 12,575 N/A N/A Figure 9- Turning Movement Count Locations Map 1 2 LEGEND # Vehicle Counts Locations # Bicycle Counts Locations WA VER LY 8 ON RI L PE EL T AV E NE HY AVE N ERR ACE ER IM ERR ACE HE RK EL T LE AVE N DA 6 EN 3 7 GL LA P AZ ROW BU 9 NO AU N BY 10 AN LAKE RO KE MO RN ENA GU IFF ITH PA R K ANGUS 4 22 W SILVER GR S S GU AN 5 11 GLE NDA ANGUS LE ROWENA WAVERLY ANGUS STUDY Figure 9 continued- Turning Movement Counts N/A N/A N/A N/A (N/A) (N/A) (N/A) (N/A) 0 (0) 47 (23) 22 (14) 0 (0) Waverly Dr 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (2) 64 (33) N/A (N/A) Angus St 0 (0) Peak Hour 8:00-9:00 AM Peak Hour 5:00-6:00 (PM) 6 4 (6) 40 (17) Herkimer St & Avenel Terrace (Southern) 0 15 5 (0) (18) (2) 16 (6) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 1 47 125 21 (0) (32) (168) (29) 4 (5) 0 (0) 107 25 (53) (12) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 4:45-5:45 (PM) Herkimer St & Waverly Dr 8 5 0 (2) 3 (2) (1) 0 (0) 0 (0) Herkimer St 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) Avenel Terrace Peak Hour 7:45-8:45 AM Peak Hour 5:00-6:00 (PM) Herkimer St & Avenel Terrace (Northern) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 22 (147) 24 (51) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 4:45-5:45 (PM) 2 17 0 (0) (17) (0) 1 (0) Angus St 0 297 36 (0) (624) (174) 0 (0) 0 7 717 457 (1) (15) (1051) (458) 14 (31) 1 (0) 60 (149) N/A (N/A) N/A (N/A) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (1) 24 (18) 7 (2) 0 (0) Waverly Dr Avenel Terrace 0 (0) 0 (5) 0 (0) 3 (1) 3 (2) 20 (6) 52 (145) 11 (9) 86 0 (44) (0) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 5:00-6:00 (PM) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 4:45-5:45 (PM) Rowena Ave & Herkimer St 10 1 (0) 13 (3) Herkimer St 0 (0) 2 39 0 (4) 43 (1) (11) (31) Rowena Ave & W Silver Lake Dr 0 0 (0) 0 (0) (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) Rowena Ave 0 (0) 0 (0) 11 (5) 0 (1) 0 (0) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 4:30-5:30 (PM) 0 0 (0) (0) 7 (3) 11 (2) 1 (1) 0 (0) 0 (0) 7 (5) 0 (0) 0 (0) Rowena Ave 0 (0) 1 (1) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (1) 0 (0) Rowena Ave 0 (0) 0 (1) 0 (0) Rowena Ave & Glendale Blvd 11 Glendale Blvd 0 (0) 3 (3) 9 (9) 0 (0) 310 (311) 0 8 (0) (16) W Silver Lake Dr & Angus St 54 157 4 (62) (138) (4) 84 (137) N/A (N/A) N/A (N/A) N/A (N/A) 0 0 (0) 0 (0) (2) 15 (8) W Silver Lake Dr Griffith Park Blvd 0 390 51 0 (0) (238) (101) (0) 5 628 (411) 195 (317) 0 (0) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 5:00-6:00 (PM) Griffith Park Blvd & Angus St 362 (316) Rowena Ave 0 (0) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 5:00-6:00 (PM) 9 0 (0) 49 (93) 0 (0) 41 (123) N/A N/A N/A N/A (N/A) (N/A) (N/A) (N/A) 3 (4) 0 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 41 (123) 7 56 (29) Waverly Dr 0 (1) 4 211 1211 38 (243) (895) (55) 0 (0) Hyperion Ave 0 (0) Hyperion Ave & Rowena Ave 3 Herkimer St 0 (0) Herkimer St 0 (0) W Silver Lake Dr 0 (0) Hyperion Ave (east leg) & Waverly Dr 2 Hyperion Ave Hyperion Ave (west leg) & Waverly Dr Hyperion Ave 1 0 0 (2) 0 (0) 0 (0) (0) Peak Hour 7:30-8:30 AM Peak Hour 2:30-3:30 (PM) 5 (8) 1 (1) 0 0 (0) 1 (0) 0 (1) (0) Peak Hour 7:45-8:45 AM Peak Hour 3:15-4:15 (PM) 23 Figurev10 - Pedestrian Turning Movements Intersection of Rowena Avenue (east/west) and Herkimer Boulevard (north/south) Intersection of Rowena Avenue (east/west) and W Silver Lake Drive (north/south) Intersection of Rowena Avenue (east/west) and Glendale Boulevard (north/south) BIKE/PED COUNTS SPEED DATA Figure 9- Turning Movement Count displays the location of Bicycle counts at three key intersections along Rowena Avenue. Bicycle traffic along Rowena Avenue is consistent. The highest turning movement from Rowena Avenue are cyclist turning southbound onto W Silver Lake Drive in the AM peak hour. The perception of speed along the corridor by observers can vary greatly. Three independent speed surveys taken during 2017 collected data for the pace of vehicles, as well as the highest speed captured above posted speed limit. The posted speed for Hyperion Avenue, Glendale Boulevard, and Rowena Avenue is 35 miles per hour (MPH). The average speed of vehicles for Hyperion and Glendale were slightly above the posted speed; Rowena Avenue’s average speed was 33 MPH, two MPH under the posted speed. Between 75 and 96 percent of vehicle traveled “in pace” along the corridor, meaning within a range of the posted speed limit. Pedestrian Movements for those three intersections are displayed in Figure 10- Pedestrian Turning Movements. Rowena Avenue and Silver Lake Drive displayed the highest pedestrian traffic with a total of 240 pedestrians crossing from the south to the north side of Rowena Avenue. The eastbound pedestrian traffic along Rowena Avenue at the intersection with Herkimer was also high, totally 127 pedestrians on the north leg and 40 on the south leg in the AM peak hour. 24 ROWENA WAVERLY ANGUS STUDY CORRIDOR COLLISION HISTORY A primary factor for conducting an evaluation of this Study Area was the perceived number of collisions occurring along Rowena Avenue and other closely related streets in the adjacent roadway network. Figure 14 displays 2008-2012 Collisions and Figure 15 displays the 2013-2015 Collisions. To identify major changes before/after the installation of the complete street design alternatives along Rowena Avenue, collision data is separated before and after 2013 (The road diet was installed on March 15, 2013).

Identified challenges included: GENERAL IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are sorted by mode of transportation. These recommendations can be applied as stand-a-lone items, or as packages within the alternatives expressed previously. • Cut-through traffic along Angus Street and AUTO 1. Work with WAZE to understand what changes Waverly Drive during peak hours; to street functions needed to restrict through• Incomplete or missing sidewalk infrastructure; commuter traffic along local streets including Waverly Drive and Angus Street. • Limited pedestrian facilities such as signalized crosswalks; • Poor pedestrian-scaled lighting. PEDESTRIAN 1. Install pedestrian-scaled lighting along Rowena Avenue from Hyperion Avenue to Glendale Boulevard. Additionally, there are the number of collisions regularly experienced at key intersections within the Project Area. The intersection of Rowena Avenue and Hyperion Boulevard has the highest density of collisions from 2011-2015. The existing conditions evaluation showed that between 2012 and 2013 several pedestrian and bicycle related collisions occurred at the intersection of Rowena Avenue and Glendale Boulevard. 2. Where feasible, install bulb-outs to enhance visibility of crosswalks at intersections. 3. Where crosswalks. feasible, install high visibility BICYCLE 1. Where feasible, focus improvements at intersections where conflict points are high. Improvements include continued bicycle striping through the intersection and high-visibility green paint. IMPROVEMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION The following concepts were developed for improvements along streets within the Project Area. These include specific geometric or policy changes. These alternatives have the potential to be implemented individually or packaged with other alternatives. The improvements are categorized as: Intersections, Angus Street, Waverly Drive, and Rowena Avenue. 29 INTERSECTION OF GRIFFITH PARK BOULEVARD AND HYPERION AVENUE: Figure 17 - Ramps with Rumble Strips 1. Intersection improvements such as high visibility crosswalks, enhanced pedestrian ramps, and if feasible through an engineering study, bulb-outs. Figures 16 and 17 is an example of typical intersection improvements. Figure 16 - High visibility crosswalks INTERSECTION OF ROWENA AVENUE AND ST. GEORGE STREET: Figure 18- Delineate Right-Turn Bay Within Existing Rightof-Way 1. At the northbound approach of the intersection, right-of-way can be delineated to provide a right-turn bay, and a through/leftturn lane, helping to alleviate some queuing. (See Figure 18) ROWENA AVE ST. GEORGE ST 2. This improvement could also be applied to both the eastbound and westbound movements on Rowena Avenue with a right-turn bay installed. 30 ROWENA WAVERLY ANGUS STUDY INTERSECTION OF ROWENA AVENUE AND W SILVER LAKE DRIVE 1. In addition to the aesthetic and general pedestrian improvements discussed at the beginning of this section, a potential signal phase improvement is recommended. The inclusion of a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) can improve traffic flow and enhance pedestrian safety. When active, an LPI provides a designated time for pedestrians to cross the street before allowing the green movement of vehicles. Figure 19 - Implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval Source: NACTO.org. Urban Street Design Guide. Leading Pedestrian Interval 31 UPPER ANGUS STREET IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS: Current configuration alongcurb a face at Angus 1. Relocate the existing Current configuration along a portion ofsidewalk Angus Street to add on one side of the street. (See Current configuration portion of Angus Street Figure 20 and Figurealong 21) Thisa improvement would portion Angus Street resultof in the elimination of on-street parking. Figure 20 - Cross depicting current AngusSection Street looking East configuration of aAngus portion of Upper Street looking East Angus Street Angus Street looking East Communication with the Technical Working Group expressed a desire from local residents to prioritize a continuous sidewalk over on-street parking. 3.
