BACKGROUND
On January 11, 2005, City Council awarded the design of restriping San Fernando Road from
Sierra Highway to Railroad Avenue to Kimley-Horn. This proposed project would include
restriping San Fernando Road from four to six lanes and eliminate on -street parking.
The decision to implement the restriping of San Fernando Road was made after conducting
lengthy surveys by mail and on-line polls to residents, business owners, and commuters. Out of
the 150 direct mail surveys that were sent, 44 responded, with 25 objecting to the restriping
project. Staff was able to contact approximately half of those who objected to the project, and in
most instances, changed their minds. The on-line survey showed 400 people responding, with
75 percent in favor of restriping San Fernando Road from four to six lanes. Staff also met with
local bicycle advocates and received positive feedback from them.
On June 28, 2005, City Council approved the implementation of six travel lanes with Class III
bicycle facilities and to restrict on -street parking on San Fernando Road from Sierra Highway to
Railroad Avenue.
