Where it stands
The City Transportation Department's plans for lane markings, signs and signals cover Mission Village Drive from Friars Road to Gramercy Drive. They add buffered bike lanes, which have a painted strip between the bike lane and car traffic. The bike lanes run 1.15 miles northbound and 0.76 miles southbound.
From Friars Road to Ronda Avenue, the northbound side narrows from two lanes to one. From Ronda Avenue to Ruffin Road, the street goes from four travel lanes to one lane each way with a center turn lane.
The community council's newsletter reported in its September/October 2023 issue that the Ronda-to-Ruffin narrowing was finished.
Planning group: The planning group wrote to the councilmember and the Transportation Department in August 2022. It said it had little notice of the plans. It said the traffic study used 2016 counts from before Snapdragon Stadium. And it said the 40 mph speed limit was unchanged.
In October 2023 the planning group wrote to the Mayor. It said the City made the change without consulting the community. It said the change had caused backups on Ruffin Road to Success Avenue at peak times.
The community council also opposed the narrowing.
