REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 2/9/2026 Item No.: 7.c. Department ApprovalCity Manager Approval Item Description:Pascal Street/Keya Park Layout Recommendations 1 2 Background 3 The City of Roseville is considering modifications to Pascal Street near Keya Park to 4 improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving. Residents and City staff have 5 identified safety concerns related to limited visibility and speeding near Keya Park. Over the 6 years, there have been numerous complaints about speeding on Pascal Street and on 7 Brooks Avenue. Related to speeding on Pascal Street, there have been numerous requests 8 for making the intersection of Pascal/Brooks an all-way stop to slow vehicles on Pascal 9 Street. Additionally, residents have felt that slowing the speed on Pascal Street would make 10 it safer going up/down the Pascal hill due to the limited sight visibility. Although traffic 11 volumes are only around 300 ADT, there are a lot of pedestrians that use Pascal Street to 12 access Keya Park from the south and have to traverse the hill with limited visibility. The 13 current measured 85 percentile speed for Pascal is 22.6-24.9 MPH. Although this is below 14 the 30-MPH speed limit, the high complaints of speeding are likely related to the visibility 15 issues with the hill. There have been no documented crashes at this time, just calls about 16 near misses. 17 18 Currently, the intersection is a two-way stop with Brooks Avenue being stopped in each 19 direction. The other major issue is the hill on Pascal just north of Brooks Avenue. The hill is 20 a 25 MPH curve which limits visibility going over the hill. Due to a large diameter gas main 21 in this location, the road cannot be lowered to create better visibility. 22 23 This section of Pascal Street was originally in the 2025 PMP for resurfacing. Since staff 24 was aware of issues and concerns about speeding and visibility, in the fall of 2025, the City 25 did a pilot/demonstration project for six weeks to look at potential changes. The goal of the 26 pilot project was to test how a narrower roadway might influence vehicle speeds, improve 27 stopping sight distances, and enhance comfort for pedestrians walking to and from the 28 park, before any permanent changes were made. The pilot project consisted of using short 29 plastic posts (delineators) to show where new curbs could be placed if the roadway was 30 narrowed in the future. Narrowing the street can help drivers travel at safer speeds and 31 make it easier for everyone to see one another near the park as the pedestrians have their 32 own dedicated space. If the road was permanently narrowed with curb in the future, a 33 sidewalk would be added behind the curb from Brooks Avenue into Keya Park to provide 34 dedicated pedestrian access. 35 Page 1 of 4 Qbhf!44!pg!271
