The Pismo/Buchon NTM
is one of the largest and most complex NTM programs that the City has
undertaken. In 2005 residents requested that the City address traffic
issues in the neighborhood. After a vote on a neighborhood parking
district and addressing parking issues at the Mitchell Park/Senior
Center, the City worked with residents of the neighborhood to develop an
Action Plan to address area traffic concerns. Over the course of 2008
and 2009 a number of traffic studies were performed to help identify the
traffic concerns in the neighborhood. In November 2009 and April 2010
the neighborhood voted on a draft Action Plan.
Based on the voting
results the neighborhood supported several traffic calming projects
including: modifying the striping on Johnson and installing speed
feedback signs, installing bulbouts and a raised crosswalk at the
intersection of Pismo/Toro along with a series of speed humps and a
speed hump on Islay Street. Neighborhood representatives had also
requested access closures along Johnson at the intersections of Pismo
and Buchon, ultimately these closures were not supported by the
neighborhood.
The City Council approved an Action Plan for the
neighborhood in June 2010. The Action Plan will be installed in two
phases. Phase 1 includes the speed humps on Pismo and Islay Streets,
construction is anticipated in December. Phase 2 which includes the
striping changes, concrete bulbouts and raised crosswalks is currently
in the design phase with construction anticipated in February 2011.

Neighborhood Traffic Management Projects Under Review
Two
neighborhoods are actively pursuing the preparation of an NTM Action
Plan for their neighborhoods. These neighborhoods have submitted
petitions to the City and include Fixlini Street, and Chorro Street
between Broad and Buchon.
