5. TRAFFIC CALMING GUIDELINES POLICY UPDATE AND REVISIONS\nRECOMMENDATIONS – F2M24-33, M2M26-67\nOn May 12, 2025, the City adopted Traffic Calming Guidelines to address neighborhood\nconcerns related to motorized traffic and pedestrian safety. The Guidelines establish a\nstructured and transparent process for evaluating and implementing appropriate traffic\ncalming measures on residential streets, with the goal of enhancing neighborhood livability\nwhile maintaining safe and efficient traffic flow. Since the program began, the City has\nreceived and addressed eleven traffic calming applications. Additionally, there were\nnineteen traffic-related questions submitted via GoAlhambra, emails, and phone calls. For\nthese requests, staff explained the traffic calming process, however, no formal\napplications were received. After one year of implementation, staff has identified\nopportunities to refine the Guidelines and will present to the City Council recommended\nrevisions.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve the proposed Traffic Calming\nGuidelines Policy revisions recommendations as outlined in the April 27, 2026 staff report\nby the Director of Public Works and Utilities, or direct staff as deemed appropriate.
