Re: [willows_neighborhood] Willow-101 interchange concerns

One way in on Chester and O"Keefe, and one way out on Durham is a long term solution but not a fast one. The fastest solution is "No right turn on Chester and O'Keefe from 3pm to 7pm", and "No right turn on red 3pm to 7pm" on Durham. A sign at Menalto heading to freeway at the Chester/Green intersection indicating "No Outlet:" ...and signs on Chester, Durham and O'Keefe at Laurel and Central saying "No outlet to Willow Road 3pm to 7pm" will solve the immediate problem.

That way those of us who live on the street could get to our homes? Julia Brown Chester Street between Menalto and Laurel On Nov 25, 2017, at 9:57 AM, Robin Plankinton robinplank_at_(domainremoved) I?ve live in the Willows since 78? and agree the traffic is terrible. I like the new design of the Willow/101 on and off ramps - the only problem I experience there is that right now people are confused because it?s new. there has been a bit more traffic then ?usual? and I?m hoping that it is due to the construction/road closures/ramps closed and the unfamiliar new design of the interchange. AS for the traffic on Willow that will continue and the cut-through traffic thru the Willows it will continue until some major changes happen, for example close Marmona at Gilbert OR make it a right turn only enter Marmona from Gilbert - that?s just an example. Robin Plankinton Blackburn X Woodland Sent from my iPhone On Nov 24, 2017, at 8:53 PM, 'Christina (Stroup) Peretz' clstroup_at_(domainremoved) Thank you, Dana. I agree. The traffic related to this new design has been terrible. I too am worried about the ultimate design and implications for our neighborhood.

The increased traffic implications are huge and the new traffic lights and the elimination of two of the on-ramps will increase and create congestion compared to what we had. Removal of the "intersection free" on-ramps - Willow Rd heading East to 101 South and Willow Rd heading West to 101 North - and moving these freeway on-ramps to the traffic light intersections severely impedes the previous flow. These on-ramps used to be easy access to the freeway and thus free up space on Willow Rd for cars moving to the more congested areas. The new design SUCKS - unnecessarily restricting this access and contributing to congestion. Please leave those on-ramp roads open as part of the finished project - fewer cars will be stuck at traffic lights on the intersection and causing congestion and pollution as they site idling for TWO traffic lights to let cars move through. I am very confidant that the new design will only decrease flow and will not improve safety. PLEASE KEEP THE EASY ON-RAMPS. I know this request is late BUT the roads still exist - keep them!
