bury power lines; looks horrible driving down vineyard

Have there been any parent surveys or studies done regarding this? Feel that busses would greatly decrease traffic on Vineyard, possibly resolving much of the issue here.

For drivers heading west, a speed reduction and/or blind drive warning is needed - for those entering or exiting the gate on Hidden Valley Rd, there is no visibility beyond the curve.

Our bicycle group rides from the 46 up Vineyard towards the 101. The south side of the road heading east from the 46 has little consistency in the shoulder width and we wind up in the car lane in many portions. The width becomes more standard, marked for a bike lane east of the Vineyard elementary school. If there are to be road improvements this stretch should continue the dedicated bike lane. (Another comment encourages similar on the northern side of the road heading west to the 46.)

Yes! How much more vehicular traffic is now on Vineyard Drive on a daily basis as a result of suspension of school bus service some years ago? Not only has this contributed to vehicle congestion and safety issues for cars, bikes, and pedestrians, it has also created a burden on parents to coordinate shuttling kids to and from school.

This is a BIG deer area! There should be lots of signage warning drivers and perhaps speed limit reductions through this stretch.

Too many parents cutting through residential neighborhoods to drop off/pick up kids from Vineyard Elementary.

Best would be decorative jersey barrier between vehicles and bikes/pedestrians. Combination result of better safety and a sense of enclosure for vehicles, resulting in lower speeds.

Agreed - 45 MPH is too high for this heavily used road.

Suggest lowering the speed limit on Vineyard Drive between at least Bethel Road and Main Street, and possibly out to Vineyard Elementary, as well. If the speed limit is 45, folks drive at least 50, and there are too many roads feeding into Vineyard Drive, pedestrians, bikes, and vehicular traffic for the current speed limit.

This is a dangerous intersection. I have seen many instances of vehicles completely driving through the stop signs and not even slowing down. Vineyard is a big cut-through from 101 to Hwy 46, and out-of-area visitors aren't cognizant of the stop sign.

Given the limited shoulders alongside Vineyard Drive, suggest a pedestrian path with decorative jersey barrier to prevent accidents.

Completely agree that this is a top priority! There is a section of walking path between the Vineyard Dog Park to Bethel Road, but no safe pedestrian thoroughfare along Vineyard Drive from Bethel Road to Main Street. This effectively cuts off the ability of students and residents on the West side of 101 to safely walk to/from downtown Templeton, and from the other TUSD campuses. More vehicles now use Vineyard Drive as a cut-through to Hwy 46 from the 101.

Often nearly impossible to make a left turn from northbound Rossi onto westbound Vineyard. Too much traffic in both directions, and especially difficult when cars turn left from Vineyard onto Rossi.

An easy start would be restrict parking and signage on SW corner to about 30-feet from Rossi to allow better visibility of those attempting to turn onto westbound Vineyard from Rossi. This was requested via CHP and County Public Works over 12 years ago while I served as the Templeton Fire Chief

would like a dedicated DG path for bikes, horses, runners, walkers from 101 to 46 physically separated from roadway [much like a bridle trail]

This is a tricky area for bikes traveling west since the bike lane runs between Vineyard going toward shopping and the freeway onramp.

agreed; when cars in the dirt lot are parked close to the intersection, they often make it hard to see oncoming eastbound traffic

Add bike lane along the entire corridor

agree; can accommodate much more traffic and assures driver slowdown without the light; works nicely at highway 46 and also in Santa Ynez/Buelton off 154.

This intersection is odd, it feels like random cars are parked on a dirt lot (adjacent) and people are walking to Trader Joes and/or hiking. It's sometimes stressful how to navigate safely.

If we brought back busses rather than just the shuttle to TES, how much less traffic might there be?

A lot of traffic through the neighborhood both before and after school. Vehicles often speeding through the neighborhood in effort to get ahead of traffic on Vineyard, disregarding that the speed limit is 25 in residential areas and there are children walking to or from school.

Shoulder and pavement conditions along Vineyard Drive are not maintained for safe bike riding. Always littered with debris, weeds, and wide road cracks.

More road signs to remind drivers and bike riders to share the road and provide 3-foot space.
