Traffic Relief

By Pat Dando

Candidate for Member, City Council; City of San Jose; District 10

This information is provided by the candidate
Pat Dando's plans to help relieve traffic in our neighborhoods.
I will continue to push to get the Highway 85/87 interchange under construction, using Measure A & B funds.Improved signal synchronization along Almaden Expressway is also part of Measure A & B. I will continue to pursue state grants that will fund the linking of additional signals in District 10 to the City's Signal Control Center, although most intersections are already linked.

I have worked for months to formulate a plan to address traffic congestion and speeding on residential streets. On January 31st, a final community meeting will be held in District 10, and then I will propose specific recommendations to the City Council.

I believe we need additional traffic enforcement in the City, both photo radar and traffic enforcement officers.

I also believe we must change city policies to direct staff to be proactive while allowing neighbors to participate in determining the traffic controls in their neighborhoods: stop signs, crosswalks, traffic circles, speed bumps, etc.
