Appreciate you bringing this section of roadway to our attention. W Clubhouse Drive appears to have been constructed around 1954/1955. At that time they appear to not have installed a guardrail or any type of edge protection and none has been provided since. This may be because of the trees along the roadway preventing run-off vehicles from sliding down the hill.
I pulled the crash data from the last 5 years and we have had 3 reported crashes near the hill climb section, but none of the 3 actually occurred on the hill. A guard rail system here would not have impacted these 3 crashes in any way. I also inquired about street lighting in this area and at this time our Public Works department does not have any plans to install street lighting here. While we would like to ideally light all of our streets, with limited resources we attempt to prioritize conflict points such as intersections.
I am currently working on a City wide guardrail inventory, replacement, and installation project. So far we have been able to fix some of our deteriorated guardrail sections and add some new guardrail sections as part of this project – for example on W Headley Rd and W Allen St/W Bloomfield Rd. I will add this section to our list to evaluate in the next round of replacements/additions.
