Avenida Classica traffic circles

Presented a video arguing the circles are unsafe on the 11% grade, unlawful under the city's own neighborhood traffic calming policy, and opposed by a petition of every red-marked household.

A Traffic Safety Committee member who supported keeping and enhancing the circles, citing the demonstrable speed reduction and calling retreat irresponsible.

A 50-year area resident who says the intersections were safe for half a century and believes the circles create new hazards for drivers and bicyclists; asked for their removal.

Lives at one of the circle intersections and says he sees no speed reduction — cars accelerate into the circles — and questioned the validity of the study.

Suggested the process was tainted — a removed speed limit sign, a privatization effort, and a Traffic Safety Committee member living on the street — and noted no other hilly street has circles.

Lives between both circles and cited documented speeding complaints back to 2007 and multiple vehicles crashing into homes, calling opposition a matter of convenience over safety.

Lives at ground zero on the corridor for 23 years; endorsed the modifications, striping contract, red curb extension, and new 25 mph sign — wearing green to signal 'go ahead.'

Suggested asking Google and Apple Maps to reroute cut-through golf-course traffic off Avenida Classica; says racers speed after the circles.

A 21-year RPV resident said he fears being clipped every morning, that side-street residents haven't been heard, and that circles shouldn't be on a hill that steep.

Supports keeping the circles with modifications, saying the real problem is drivers making illegal left turns around them, which he has documented with video and photos.

Lives at 'ground zero' at Classica and Esplendida; fully supports staff's recommendations and keeping the roundabouts with the mitigations.

A 30-year resident who wants the circles kept, citing speeding as the community's core concern.

Called the project a solution in search of a problem and a poor use of funds when residents are losing homes to the landslide; wants speed humps like on Rousseau Lane instead.

Argued the 10-11% street grade violates federal guidance against roundabouts above 4%, that the 2008 traffic calming program was never repealed, and cited a survey of 32 households against the circles.

Uses the intersections daily; says drivers completely ignore the roundabouts and they've become the most dangerous zones — asks for their removal.

Speaking as a Traffic Safety Committee member, strongly favors the staff recommendations; says speed is the issue in 90% of TSC requests and the design should be optimized.
