TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION
Minutes
Commissioner Coelho asked if the Traffic and Mobility Commission can see what the Diversion Class curriculum entails.
Lieutenant Jackowski responded that the curriculum being used is from the League of American Bicyclists Smart Cycling Program. He will have that curriculum forwarded to the commission.
Commissioner Coelho inquired about the number of citations that were given out to this date.
Lieutenant Jackowski responded that the presentation was only current up to Aug . 23, 2022. With the
recent declaration of emergency many more citations have been issued. They have done 428 enforcement contacts just since the declaration of the state of emergency on Aug. 23, 2022.
Commissioner Fowler said that if these e- bike riders start to ride on trails this could cause confusion in the future as it is hard to enforce. The hardship is that riders have to stop and get off their bike if they are within 50 feet of a pedestrian or on a trail that is less than five feet wide.
Lieutenant Jackowski said the hardship is that the riders have to estimate the distance themselves and the Police Officer would have to make the same estimation at the exact same time. This would be difficult to prove and the citation could be dismissed outright. Using the catch all of riding with regard to safety is simpler.
Deputy City Attorney Kawecki responded that the ordinance can always be amended in the future if the need arises. In order to amend an ordinance, there needs to be specific findings to support the ordinance.
The city needs to articulate reasons for having the ordinance and we have no evidence that there is a need for it currently.
Acting Chair Linke asked if we interface with the schools in the City of Carlsbad that fall within the San Marcos or Encinitas Unified School Districts?
Lieutenant Jackowski replied that the collaboration will fall on San Diego Unified Schools and Encinitas Schools to identify the schools.
Motion by Commissioner Penseyres, seconded by Commissioner Newlands to support staff’s recommendation on the proposed amendment to the newly -enacted ordinance, Chapter 10.56 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code – Operation of Regulated Mobility Devices; review a proposed amendment to the trail dismount provision in the ordinance. Motion carried: 5/0/ 0/2 (Absent: Chair Perez and Commissioner Proulx)

4. STATUS UPDATE ON THE BICYCLE, E- BICYCLE, AND MOTORIZED MOBILITY DEVICE SAFETY LOCAL EMERGENCY – Receive an update and solicit feedback from the public and Traffic & Mobility Commission on the declaration of a local emergency of bicycle, e -bicycle, and motorized mobility device safety. (Staff Contact: Paz Gomez, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation
Deputy City Manager Gomez presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk)
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Tom Lichterman is a resident of Oceanside and the Chairman of the Oceanside Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee. He provided a presentation on his cycling accident that took place on Carlsbad Boulevard near Chandler’s restaurant. He requested that the T&MC direct staff to investigate and develop a remediation plan for a clear roadway defect that is a hazard to cyclists.
Acting Chair Linke responded that the Commission is unable to direct staff to do anything , but that he should contact the Transportation Department. He believes they already have this location down as being an issue.
Tim Morgan spoke about the corner of Tamarack Avenue and Valley Street and it’s Phase II of the Traffic Calming Study. There was a lack of engagement and community involvement, and this does not align with the messages being conveyed.
Mark Embree spoke about the accident on Valley Street and Basswood Avenue and measures to slow traffic down. How do we force irresponsible people to be responsible? They need to become aware with something different like a traffic circle or speed bump. Please don’t let Christine’s death go unnoticed.
Commissioner Coelho inquired about the function of the Emergency Operations Center.
Deputy City Manager Gomez responded that the function is to help facilitate communication and ensure that everything that is going on with regards to the proclamation is coordinated and collaborated across the city.
Commissioner Newlands said that the rise of the e-bikes has been the real issue that is being shown in the data, as fatalities and accidents are up. What can we do about this?
Deputy City Manager Gomez replied tha t on September 27, during City Council meeting staff will get direction on how to proceed and how to prioritize the projects. The intent of staff is to cover the different areas such as enforcement, education, engineering and infrastructure. We will review areas of concern, projects and input given by the public.
Commissioner Coelho asked if this will require another review of these projects post City Council by the Traffic and Mobility Commission and other commissions as well? What is the timeline of the implementation of these projects?

Deputy City Manager Gomez said that the Traffic and Mobility Commission is aware that there is a new way of approaching projects across the board. We are trying to get feedback earlier in the design process.
Some of the projects coming forward won’t be new as they will have been presented be fore. Other projects will be newer and not fully vetted yet. Timelines will be discussed. Projects that are further along may be able to be accelerated. Other newer projects can be accelerated into the design phase as well.
Motion by Commissioner Pense yres, seconded by Commissioner Coelho to include the following comments:
a. The plan should include a comprehensive training program that addresses traffic safety for all roadway users including adults, youths, e-bikes, manual bikes, and vehicle drivers. b. Support for the implementation of infrastructure projects that address traffic safety including traffic calming including, roundabouts, lane reductions, vertical and horizontal measures c. Accelerate implementation of traffic safety infrastructure im provements and high priority projects identified in the Sustainable Mobility Plan
d. Prioritize Safe Routes to School projects in particular focus on preparing school access plans as a near-term Safe Routes to School action items
e. Provide instructions to educa te the drivers on how to use the green conflict zone striping through variable message signs and the city’s communication channels (“No Right Hook”) Motion carried: 5/0/0/2 (Absent: Chair Perez and Commissioner Proulx)
5. FINAL DESIGN PLANS FOR CARLSBAD BOULEVARD RESTRIPING BETWEEN MANZANO DRIVE AND
ISLAND WAY, AND THREE SUSTAINBLE MOBILITY PLAN BIKE LANE ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS - Support staff’s recommendation to City Council to approve the final design plans and specifications of the Carlsbad Boulevard Restriping between Manzano Drive and Island Way, bike lane improvements at five locations on Carlsbad Boulevard, Capital Improvement Project No. 6096, and Three Sustainable Mobility Plan Bike Enhancement Projects - La Costa Avenue at the intersections of Piraeus; Saxony and El Camino Real, Capital Improvement Project No. 6101; Jefferson Street between Las Flores Drive and I-5 Overpass, Capital Improvement Project No. 6100; and Paseo Del Norte and Cannon Road intersection, Capital Improvement Project No. 6095. (St aff Contact:
Miriam Jim and John Kim, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Support staff’s recommendation to the City Council.
City Traffic Engineer Kim and Senior Engineer Jim presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk)
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Michael Von Newman, Chair of the Encinitas Mobility and Traffic Safety Commission and resident of Encinitas. He is i n support of the staff proposal to restripe southbound Carlsbad Boulevard and to reduce travel lanes from two to one. He believes these improvements will i mprove safety for bicyclists and all users of the road.
Bill Fenner is a resident of the Solamar development on Carlsbad Boulevard. He is in support of staff proposal but he believes that the city needs to reduce the traffic on the northbound lane as well as southbound. The Solamar Community submitted a p etition to Transportation Director Frank that had 42 signatures on it. Everyone signed the petition wanting to reduce the speed limit to 35 mph, reduce the travel lanes and make that lane a bike lane.
Nov. 15, 2022
Item #14 Page 154 of 161
Commissioner Coelho inquired if after the striping project is completed, is there a feedback loop to evaluate the condition of the road after the treatment?
City Traffic Engineer Kim respond ed that typically if a problem is identified staff would do the appropriate before and after studies. For example, on residential traffic calming projects where we have a speed target of 25 mph, we complete a before and after study. For a situation where the posted speed limit is based on prevailing speeds but staff wants to enhance the bicycle lane the staff would probably do more of an observational type of analysis.
Commissioner Penseyres commented on an alternative to just using green paint in the bike lane area would be to use sharrows to direct cyclists left and allow the motorists to turn right. The goal is to reduce right hooks without excessive motorist delay. This should be used on no rthbound Carlsbad Boulevard at Ponto Road, Breakwater Road and Island Way. It should be used southbound at Solamar Drive.
Commissioner Penseyres also recommended as follows:
• Providing a bike box or retain sharrow on northbound /eastbound Jefferson Street at Las Flores
• Leave the sharrows on northbound/eastbound of Jefferson Street • Widen the WB climbing lane and installing a new green or black backed sharrow as soon as the bike lane ends.
• Provide a green bike box La Costa Avenue at Piraeus Street • Dashed green paint from La Costa up to the park & ride. • Provide a green bike box on Cannon Rd. in the westbound direction at Paseo del Norte City Traffic Engineer Kim respond ed that he appreciates the suggestions but can not commit to make changes to this project at this late stage in the design process. These set of plans have come in front of the Traffic and Mobility Commission before and we are trying to expedite this project.
Commissioner Penseyres asked staff to not add the bike lane on Jefferson Street. He asked to leave the road as it is right now.
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that staff is comfortable with a marked bike lane in this position and thinks it will be beneficial. Transportation and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that this area was identified as a critical gap in the city’s bike lane network and staff saw this an opportunity to improve this location.
Acting Chair Linke spoke about one public comment concerned about eliminating the lanes to accommodate the road diet. He wanted to note the volume changes on that stretch of road. This year there has been an increase or drivers on that road. Our roads are just as congested now as they were pre-covid.
City Traffic Engineer Kim agreed but added that he sees a different pattern post-covid. The studies we conduct give us information on what those patterns tend to be. He feels that the stretch of road on Carlsbad Boulevard would be sufficient to handle the flow of traffic based on a one-year closure.
The intersection capacity plays a large part in roadway capacity.
Nov. 15, 2022
Item #14 Page 155 of 161
Acting Chair Linke sa id that he does not agree with earlier statements that the max speed limit should be 35 mph within city limits. Major corridors like El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road need to move along.
Commissioner Penseyres said that he fully supports the removal of the lane and the approach to do it in the southbound direction.
Motion by Commissioner Penseyres, seconded by Acting Chair Linke to approve staff’s recommendation to City Council to approve the final design plans and specifications of the Carlsbad Boulevard Restriping between Manzano Drive and Island Way, bike lane improvements at five locations on Carlsbad Boulevard, Capital Improvement Project No. 6096, and Two Sustainable Mobility Plan Bike Enhancement Projects - La Costa Avenue at the intersections of Piraeus; Saxony and El Camino Real, Capital Improvement Project No. 6101 and Paseo Del Norte at Cannon Road Capital Improvement Project No. 6095 .

6. UPDATE ON PLUM TREE ROAD IN RESPONSE TO RESIDENT CONCERNS WITH SPEEDING – Receive an informational report on the traffic engineering evaluation of Plum Tree Road. (Staff Contact: Lindy Pham and John Kim, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive the report.
City Traffic Engineer Kim and Associate Engineer Pham presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk)
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Eric Stephenson – representing a group of residents from Plum Tree Road and is requesting that their neighborhood be included in phase 2 of the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program
Nichola Riggle – Residents must insist that something be done to make the neighborhood safer.
Speed cushions should be a minimal solution. Expedite the Phase 2 plan as soon as possible.
Julie Schwartz – spoke to reiterate on what the previous speakers said about the dangers and speed issues on Plum Tree Road. Please include this neighborhood in Phase 2 of the Residential Traffic Program.
Commissioner Coelho asked if any progress on this project for this street will be made prior to the meeting with the neighborhood in early 2023? Do we work with consultants?
Acting Chair Linke said that there is a paradox where some residents want additional stop signs placed in their neighborhood to reduce speed where other residents may say that no one pays attention to the stop signs. He also as ked about vegetation issues arising and how to keep this Nov. 15, 2022
Item #14 Page 156 of 161
under control.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that the vegetation issues are usually on private property. Staff contacts the private property owner and asks them to cut back the vegetation. Normally, if it is not in the public right of way then it becomes the responsibility of the owner of the property.
Acting Chair Linke asked when the sight measurements were taken were all of the parked cars also taken into consideration? Sight distance is worse with many parked cars in the way. One of the public comments requested a red curb, does staff consider these type of request?
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that they do take parked cars into consideration when they measure sight distance to an intersection. He said they will take a look at the red curb request and evaluate.
The sight evaluations were done at Redknot Street, Robinea Street and Windflower Drive.
Commissioner Penseyres expressed his concern about waiting until 2023 to s tart this project. He hopes that staff can speed up this project including it as part of the emergency declaration.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that he is confident that staff is proceeding with the projects as fast as possible. Nine streets in a three-month span is aggressive and he knows his staff is working fast.
Tamarack Avenue has already been prioritized as part of the emergency, so staff is also going to squeeze that project in. Staff will take a look at all of the streets again to see if there are any new considerations, but those streets and neighborhoods are waiting as well.
Commissioner Penseyres asked if a traffic circle could be looked at for this location as well?
City Traffic Engineer Kim answered yes. Staff likes to talk about the solutions and to clearly present the positives and negatives of all solutions with the community when they hold the neighborhood meeting.
Acting Chair Linke said that he supports traffic circles in certain circumstances but when you have a smaller side street it forces the car to get closer to people’s houses and sidewalks.
7. UPDATE ON THE CITY OF ENCINITAS E-BIKE SHARE PROGRAM – Receive an informational report on the development and performance of the City of Encinitas E -Bike share program. (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public Works)

8. DRAFT LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN – Receive feedback on the draft Local Roadway Safety Plan, a study that analyzes citywide traffic collisions to identify and prioritize citywide roadway safety improvements. (Staff Contact: Miriam Jim and John Kim, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation and provide feedback.
Senior Engineer Jim and Traffic Planner Andrew Prescott from Chen Ryan Associates presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk) Nov. 15, 2022
Item #14 Page 157 of 161
Commissioner Penseyres said the data shown regarding collisions that take place mid-block is misleading as they aren’t actually mid-block. SWITTERS always include how far you are from the intersection. The police use the center line of the intersection as the starting point. A crash that is reported being 20 to 30 feet from the intersection is still in the intersection. In the report, is this being shown as being mid-block?
Traffic Planner Prescott responded that they use the offset distance in the report, not where the actual pin drops. They use the offset distance of 50 feet to define their intersections. Any crash reported within 50 feet of the intersection would be identified as an intersection collision.
Commissioner Penseyres asked about driveways and alleys and other areas that are related to the intersections. Do these get reported as mid-block?
Traffic Planner Prescott responded that they look at these instances on a case-by-case basis. Driveways that might function more as an intersection might be flagged as an intersection collision. Generally driveways and alleys would be looked at as mid-block unless they fall within 50 feet of the intersection.
Commissioner Penseyres suggested that they look at the car-bicycle crashes separately from the solo bike crashes. He suggested that we fix that in the data as we know that 9 0% of the bicycle -car crashes take place at intersections, driveways or with a vehicle making a turning movement. It is this kind of data that causes the push towards class IV.
Acting Chair Linke asked if part of the feedback from the Commission could be to add an asterisk to the mid-block collisions and note that these might not necessarily be mid-block but could be driveways or alleys. Could we also add a figure in the presentation that accurately reflects that right hook are the most dangerous cause of collisions for bicycles.
Traffic Planner Prescott responded that their data did show that right hooks are the most common cause of collision. They did separate non-vehicle bicycle collisions from bicycle-car collisions. They created a map that shows all of the collisions and distinguishes between the two types. They also created a new figure that identifies the causes of the bicycle collisions that did not include motor vehicles and includes any potential objects that were involved.
Acting Chair Linke suggested making the figure that shows the right hook frequency a more prominent aspect of the report. Include that in the executive summary to highlight the issue. Many people only have time to read the executive summary. He ask ed why a few projects didn’t make the list that had fatal collisions. They are El Camino Real, Faraday Avenue, Alicante Road and Colina De La Costa. Why is there not a project associated with these intersections that had the highest level of injuries or fatalities? The third location was Carlsbad Village Drive from Harding Street to the I-5 ramp. He suggested adding these two intersections and the segment of Carlsbad Village Drive to the project list or look at them more closely for the priority list.
Motion by Acting Chair Linke, seconded by Commissioner Newlands to include the following comments:
1) The LRSP report should highlight the issues with the right hook collisions specifically for vehicle vs. bike collisions
2) Consider adding the following additional locations to the priority project list:
a. The roadway segment of Carlsbad Village Drive between Harding St reet and the I -5 Southbound ramps
Nov. 15, 2022

9. CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE – Receive a presentation and provide feedback on the proposed changes to the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program 2022 Revision which outlines the process to plan and implement traffic calming measures on residential streets throughout the city. (Staff Contact: John Kim and Miriam Jim, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation and provide feedback.
City Traffic Engineer Kim and Senior Engineer Jim presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk)
Commissioner Fowler asked about the criteria for the phase III.
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that there is an evolution of how we got to this point. When staff received comments at the last meeting about the phase III criteria, it was said that the criteria was difficult to meet. We started unofficially using speed cushions to replace the stop signs, and in order to address intersections, we utilized traffic circles. Once we started doing this, we realized we were doing what is considered traditional traffic calming. Phase II was intended as “cost effective traffic calming”.
Phase III is traditional traffic calming. He thought it would be easier to understand if we consolidate Phase II and III. We can apply any tools in the toolbox for phase II. We eliminated some tools that were geared towards grid networks like the list of diverters. They wouldn’t be of much use in Carlsbad. We can however, use any type of traffic calming tools if appropriate. There is no best feature. Speed cushions have shown to be very effective and simple, and we tend to apply those because of that. There are positives and negatives to every feature.
Commissioner Penseyres asked if they can put the speed cushions or pillows midblock? He asked about raised intersections or speed tables. Are these still part of the program?
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that we will still be retaining such things as a raised intersection, raised crosswalk and those types of features. There will be certain things that we consider when we propose a toolbox and drainage is one of the things. A raised intersection would have drainage issues.
This is why we default to speed cushions and traffic circles that won’t polarize the community as they are easier to implement with fewer drawbacks. He also wanted to touch on Vice-Chair Linke’s earlier comment about roundabouts. There are perception issues that they push traffic toward the pedestrian path. We do try to point that out. We do want to make sure that cars aren’t in the pedestrian path but yes the cars will be pointed in that direction. This is an issue we lay out to the community when we propose options.
Commissioner Penseyres shared his concern that we use the 32 mph as a criterion. We need to work on slowing down the 15% that is driving way too fast as those are the drivers that kill people.
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that the 32-mph speed limit was based on a couple of considerations.
One of these was speaking to the Police Department and asking them what speed they start enforcing on Nov. 15, 2022
Item #14 Page 159 of 161
a residential street. This was the common number where the officers started issuing citations on a residential street. When staff was looking at the streets that had traffic calming complaints, we looked at a whole cross section of streets and threw the 32 -mph limit in there to see which streets would be excepted and which ones not. We didn’t want all of the streets to be accepted or all excluded.
The 32 mph bisected the number that looked reasonable to staff. For neighborhoods that don’t meet the 32-mph criteria, there is an exception that can be made by the Traffic & Mobility Commission. From a data perspective he does not recommend lowering that threshold. After conducting a collision search of the 19 streets that had traffic calming implemented over the past six years, there were only three injury collisions. These are typically low volume, low collision streets.
Acting Chair Linke stated if the critical speed of 32-mph works for many streets but isn’t working for Plum Tree Road than that neighborhood can asked to be put into the exception. The Plum Tree Road residents mentioned the volume component as many cars travel down the road. They also talk about the grade being very steep on the roadway. Could these issues, volume and grade help them become an exception? Could staff use volume, grade, injury collisions, people ignoring stop signs, etc. to help prioritize a project in the queue over other projects.
Commissioner Penseyres asked staff if stop signs were added back into the Residential Traffic Management Program in 2011.
City Traffic Engineer Kim responded that yes, staff was given the direction to add stop signs back in 2011.
Residential stop signs were justified at that time to be used in low volume situations.
Motion by Commissioner Coelho, seconded by Commissioner Newlands to include the following comments:
a. Consider additional criteria to supplement prioritization of Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program streets such as traffic volumes, average grade, or proximity to schools.
Motion carried: 5/0/0/2 (Absent: Chair Perez and Commissioner Proulx)
CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER COMMENTS:
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Commissioner Coelho asked staff about the proper way to get items added to the agenda. Would it be worded as “the commission would like to ask staff to bring forth these items to the commission at a future date.”
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said yes that would be appropriate.
Commissioner Coelho said that he would like staff to bring an item to the T&MC to amend the City of Carlsbad Municipal Code to require all riders of bicycles or other mobility devices to wear helmets.
Assistant City Attorney Contreras asked Commissioner Coelho to point out what part of the commission’s work plan related to this request. When no portion of the work plan was identified, Mr. Contreras advised the Commission to table this matter until it could be tethered to an identifiable part of the work plan.
