Transportation and Parking Commission - 10/26/26

The MyGlendale Transportation and Parking Commission meeting on October 26, 2026, included discussion of the Chevy Chase Drive traffic-calming study. Public Works described safety concerns and proposed near-term measures such as pavement markings, warning signs, speed-feedback signs, visibility improvements, and selected intersection treatments, with longer-term concepts including speed tables, raised crossings, and curb extensions. The study reviewed 86 reported collisions over a 10-year period, with no fatalities, and incorporated community feedback. Staff said the concepts would require further design and coordination with emergency services.

Staff gave rough cost ranges of $300,000–$500,000 for near-term improvements and $600,000–$1 million for longer-term work. These are preliminary estimates; the project is not currently funded or included in approved capital projects, and funding would require further consideration, potentially including a City Council appropriation. No contract award, vendor selection, or purchasing approval was identified. The commission also elected Commissioner Bonston as chair and discussed student commissioner appointments and recruitment.
