Settlement Agreement and Release of August 14rh of 2017, which the City entered in toin response to the July 3, 2017 Notice of Violation of California Voting Rights Act. Basedon the above time constraints, stafi believes that the latest the Council could consider and act on a final map is March 28, with second reading at its regular meeting of April 11,2022- By adopting the proposed Ordinance No. 752, on first reading tonight and second reading on April 1 1, this schedule will be met.

DISCUSSION
The City Council began the process of reviewing draft District Maps at its regular meeting of January 24,2022. The City's consultant drafted a total of five-district plans for City Council and public review. All draft plans presented to the City Council were based off of the maps submitted by community members, whose robust engagementresulted in 161 mmmunity of interest and district boundary maps submitted to date.a The consultrant has also confirmed that all draft plans presented to the City Councilcomply with the criteria required by the Fair Maps Act, including that districts are ofrelatively equal size, contiguous, maintain "communities of interest", follow city andcensus designated place boundaries and keep districts compact. Map 42 and Map A3incorporate feedback provided by members of the City Council atlhe January 24,2O22 Council meeting and at the February 28, 2022 Council meeting, resp€ctively.

At its January 24 meeting, the City Council reviewed Maps A, B and C. The Council unanimously voted to elevate Map A for further consideration and asked that the boundary of one of the Map A districts (District D) be adjusted to not fall below the freeway. That change was made by the consultant and became Map 42. Map A2 was presented along with Maps A, B and C, at the Council meeting of February 28. At the February 28 meeting, Councilmembers Alarcon and Vice Mayor Clark commented about further changes they wished to see to Map A2, aimed at reducing the 9.67o5 population disparig between the largest and smallest Districts, and adjusting the common boundaries between Districts A and B, and B and D. Ultimately, only Map /q2 was approved for consideration as the final Map. Subsequently, at its March 14 meeting, the Council elected to reconsider this decision. ln response to the Council deliberation on February 28, revisions to Map A2 were made and presented andconsidered as Map A3 on March 14. The Council then determined to elevate Map 43along with Map 42 for consideration as the final Map on March 28.

All maps and plans have been published on the City website. An ad was placed in the Coastal Mew News for two weeks (publication dates of March 17 , 2022 and March 24, 2022\ to announce that the maps and plans were available to the public online. Postersof Maps A2 and A3 were also created and have been displayed at City Hall. Staff hasalso made large printed versions of both draft Maps available for members of the public. a Our consultants have worked with 25 cities including the 10 largest in Califomia, and we rseivod the most map submissions by the public. For comparison, thB Cily of Los Angeles, a city of 3,970,21 I received 157 map submission.
5 Under the CVRA, the differenc between smallest and largest districts by population €nnot exceed 10Yo.

After a final district Map has been serec,ted, a discussion about erection sequencing wiil also be required and is presented as a separate agenda matter.

Conparing llaps A2 and A3
As discussed above, the city councir directed that Maps 42 and A3 (attached) be considercd for final Map approval. Both of these Maps are derivativei or uap A $rat was fi rst presented and considered_on January 24, ion. Map A wa" on" otit r"e ti"ps prepared by the city's District Erections consuitant based on bommunity oi r;l;r*t;;J draft maps submitted by members of the public. As such, Maps 42 and h3 are similar. Both maps have in common lgeryrar Diitrict organization *'nere tre ttee',uay aennes the boundary between three Distdcts on the north side of the freeway ano tvv6 oistricis on the south. The boundaries of the five Districts are also similar. #tn M"p" t"u; "1". !99n Op.nggO and analyzed by the City's consultant to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Acts.

The following is a review of the criteria used by the city's consurtant in the creation of the draft Maps with discussion of each in the context oi Maps A2 ard A3. This comparison is provided to assist the councir in deriberating on a choice between the two Maps;^however, once again, the city's consunant has detirmined that both nrafs ez --'- and A3 can be found to meet these criteria.

1. Districts are of relatively equal size. The threshold used to meet this criterion is that the population difference between the rargest and smaflest districts not exceed^ 107o. For Map M, the deviation is g.2nlo and for Map A3 the deviation is8.2o/0. Again, both Maps meet the criteria. 2. P'ld9: must be Contiguous. All Districts on both Maps are contiguous and meet this criterion.

3. Maintain communities of lnterest. This determination is subjective. ldentification of communities of rnterest can be derived from the Maps su-bmitted by the pubiic. The City's consultant has determined that either map may be found to approprialely represent communities of lnterest renectea in both the community of lnterest and draft maps submitted by the public. 4. Follow city and us Gensus designated prace boundaries. Ail Districts that are part of Maps A2 and A3 respect these boundaries. 5. Keep Districts Compaci. Arguably, Map A3 may be more compact than Map A2 if evaluating geometric shap€. ln particular, Districts A, B and D may be found to be more compact in Map A3.

As such, no matter how sitting Councilmembers places of residence relate to the new Districts, all Councilmembers will finish their respective at-large terms.

During the mapping process, both draft maps and the districts within them were identified alphabeticalty, e.9., Map A, district A, etc. The Final Ci$ Council Districts are to be identified numerically 1 through 5. Odd and even numbered districts are up for election in separate years. Districts 1, 3, and 5 are to be considered at the City's firstdistrict election, in November 2022, and Districts 2 and 4 in the November 2024election.Staff recommends, regardless of whether Map A2 or A3 is chosen, that the City Council consider Districts be numbered according to the below table.

lf Map A2 is adopted by the Council, the above recommended district sequencing allows the two incumbent Councilmembers whose terms expire in 2024 (Alarcon and Nomura) to finish their terms to completion prior to an election occuning for the Districtin which they reside. lf Map A3 is adopted, one councilmember whose term expires in 2024 (Nomura) would reside in a District that would come up for election in November 2022.

The above sequencing schedule also ensures, no matter ifthe Council approves map 42 or A3, that the incumbent Councilmembers up for reelection in 2022 will be in a District that is a part of the 2022 election.Notwithstanding the above sequencing schedule described, the Council has the discretion to adopt a sequencing schedule as it sees fit. However, once again, the Council should be cognizant that the districts numbered as 1, 3, and 5 will be put toelection in 2022 and districts 2 and 4 will be put to election in 2024.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Adoption of Ordinance No. 753, (first reading) approving the sequencing schedule for district elections conceming the five Council districts in the City of Carpinteria, andamending the approved District Map by applying numeric District designationsconsistent with the sequencing schedule.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 753, (first reading) approving the sequencing schedule for district elections conceming five Council districts in the City of Carpinteria, and amending theapproved District Map by apptying numeric District designations consistent with thesequencing schedule.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 753, on first reading (as read by title only), thereby establishing the sequencing schedule for district elections conceming five Council districts, amending the approved District Map by applying numeric Districtdesignations consistent with the sequencing schedule, and setting the second reading for the Council meeting of April 11 ,2022.

BACKGROUND
The City of Carpinteria City Council is a general law City with five elected City Council seats. Council members are elected to four-year staggered terms. Elections are held biennially with three Council seats decided on off-year elections and two seats decided on Presidential election years.

During the public hearing process for developing and adopting a City Council Districts map, ihe City Council must also establish which three Districts will be a part of the November 2022 election and which two will be a part of the 2024 elections (the 'sequencing schedule').The Gouncil has discretion to establish the sequence of elections based on strate law.The Council's decision conceming sequencing is guided by section 10010(b) of the Califomia Elections Code Section, lvhich states that the City Council shall "give specialconsideralion to the purposes of the Calilornia Voting Rights Act," and 'take intoaccount the preferences expressed by members of the districts."23943162.1 ln addition to the sequencing considerations set forth in Elections Code section l0olO(b) and 21606, summarized above, the City Council may take other considerations into account when making decisions about how to sequence districts, including:

O) Prioritizing districb with high Latino CVA? percenbges for an eadier election otfor a Prcsi&ntial etection year.

For example, the Council may wish to consider a sequencing scheduie that prioritizes having one or more of the higher percentage Latino Citizen Voting Age Population ('CVAP) districts be a part of the earliest etection, i.e.,2022.

Alternatively, the Council could choose a district sequencing schedule that prioritizes putting higher CVAP perc€ntage districts up for election during Presidential election years since studies have shown that voter participaiion is higher in those years. These are both common considerations city councils have used in determining a sequencing schedule.

The table below illustrates Latino CVAP percentages for Maps A2 and A3.1 lnboth Map 42 and 43, there are three districts with a CVAP greater than 30% (shaded in the table).

lnformation Concerning Any Sequencing Schedule Scenario. councilmembers whose terms expiein2o22 may continue to serve the city at-large for the remainder of their elected terms and will have the opportunity to run for iistrict--based seats in November 2022, provided they reside in one of the three districts scheduled for that election.councilmembers whose terms do not expire until2024 may continue to serve the city at-large for the remainder of their elected terms, and will hive the opportunity to run ior district-based seats in November 2024, provided they reside in one of the two districts scheduled for that election.
lf multiple incumbenb live in the same councilmember district, and an election is held in that district in 2022,hhe incumbents are eligible to run for election in that district along with any other candidates. The person who receives the most votes will win the seatiortftatgstrict (and the four-year term that goes with it). Any losing incumbent will drop ofi the City Council, either immediatety (if their ebcted term expires in 2O22) or in 2O24 (tf their elected term expires in 20U).ln other words, even if a current councilmember whose elected term ends in 2024 runs for and is defeated in a bid to win a district-based seat in 2022, that councilmember will continue to serve on the City Gouncil as an atlarge councilmember until their elected term expires. lf a current councilmember whose elected term ends in 2024 wins a district-based seatin 2022, then they would resign the at-large seat. The council can fill the vacancy pursuant Section 36512 of the California Government Code, by appointment or by a special eleclion.2 After the sequencing schedule is adopted, if no councilmember resides in a districtscheduled for the November 2022 election, then only non-incumbents will be qualified to run for election in that district. lf no councilmember resides in a district scheduied for the November 2024 election, that district will continue to be represented by the remaining at-large councilmembers until 2024 rvhen its first district-based election will be held.POLICY CONSISTENCY This hearing is a part of transition to district-based council elections and as such followscompliance with Federal and State Voting Rights Act.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Another factor for the council's consideration in modifoing the staff sequencing recommendation is prioritizing District C (proposed District 1 under the City's recommendation)lor lhe 2022 election since il does not currenfly have a resident council member. For example, the Cities of Woodland and Davis prioritizeddistricts that had never had an elected representative to be a part of the firstelection after establishing Districts.(3) Avoid Sequencing Schedule that would pr*lude incumbenb from candidacy at the end of their cu/7ent at-large terms.

It is common practice as part of the approval of a sequencing schedule for city councils to take into consideration the potential candidacy of incumbents in the next election- ln Carpinteria's case, there are three Councilmembers (Claft, Lee and Carty), who's seats are up for election in2022.The sequencing schedule described above would allorrrr for all three to run for office in 2022, should they choose. The sequencing schedule would also allow for Councilmembers whose terms expire in 2024 to run for office; either as an incumbent candidate in 2024, or as a candidate in a Distric-t up for election in 2022.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution No, 6118, Adopting the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2022-23 Project List.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 61 18, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2022-23 Project List.

Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 61 18, as read by title only, approving the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account Fiscal Year 2022-23 Project List.

BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill (SB 1), which is known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB 1 increased fuel excise taxes, diesel fuel sales taxes, and vehicle registration fees to address basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety needs for state highways and local streets and roads.

On November 1, 2017, the State Controller (Controller) began depositing various portions of SB 1 funding into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A percentage of the RMRA funding is apportioned by formula to eligible local agencies (i.e. cities and counties) pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code Section 2032(h). The Controller apportions RMRA funds on a monthly basis to eligible cities using a process and system similar to that of Highway Users Tax Account apportionments. RMRA funding is continuously apportioned and is not provided on a reimbursement basis.

SB 1 emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency in the delivery of California's transportation programs. To be eligible for RMRA funding, local agencies must provide annual RMRA project reports to the California Transportation Commission (Commission). The Commission first receives the project lists, and then determines completeness and compliance with basic statutory requirements, and finally approves and submits a statewide list to the Controller for local agencies that are eligible to receive RMRA funding apportionments.

SB 1 Project List for FY 2022-23
April 11,2022
Page2
The purpose of this agenda matter is for the City Council to consider adopting Resolution No. 61 18, granting approval of the Fiscal Year 2022-23 RMRA prolect list for submittal to the State.

DISCUSSION
RMRA funds must be used for road maintenance and rehabilitation, safety projects, railroad grade separations, traffic control devices, complete street components including gctive transportation purposes such as pedestrian and bicycle safety piojects, transit facilities, and drainage and stormwater capture projects. RMRA funds may aiso be used to satisfy a match requirement in order to obtain state and/or federaliunds for projects. The key requirements for use of RMRA funds are as follows:
. A list of projects that are proposed to be funded with RMRA funds must be submit to the Commission. All projects proposed to receive funding must be adopted by resolution by the local agency's governing body at a regular public meeting.
o For each fiscal year in which RMRA funds are received and expended, local agencies must submit to the Commission a report that details the expenditure of all RMRA funds.
o A local agency receiving an apportionment of RMRA funds is required to sustain a maintenance of effort (also known as MOE) by spending at least the annual average of its generalfund expenditures for street, road, ind highway purposes from the city's general fund.
. By July 1 ,2023,local agencies receiving RMRA funds must follow guidelines developed by the California Workforce Development Board that address participation and investment in, or partnership with, new or existing preapprenticeship training programs. These programs focus on outreach to women, m inority participants, u nderrepresented su bg roups, formerly i ncarcerated individuals, and local residents to access training and employment opportunities.

Project List Submittal
The project list must include project descriptions including the general location of each project, estimated schedules of each project's completion, and-estimated useful life of each project. Local agencies may include project information for future fiscal years, but are expected to upjlate the project list as needed every fiscal year prior to submittal to the Commission. Exhibit 1 in the attached Resolution No. 61i8, is the City's project list.

The project list proposes to use the City's Fiscal Year 2022-23 RMRA tuniing aliocation for the 2022 Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

Last year, the Commission amended the reporting deadline schedule. Now, local agencies must submit a project list and supporting documentation by July 1st of each year to the Commission. All materials must be provided electronicaily using the state's online submittal tool. After reviewing submittals for completeness, th-e Comhission reports to the Controller the jurisdictions that are eligible to receive RMRA funding.

SB 1 Project List for FY 2022-23
April 1 1,2022

Upon receipt of the list from the Commission, the Controller is expected to apportion funds to the cities and counties included on the list. All project lists and support documentation as submitted by the local agencies will be posted on the Commission's website.
nditure Re rti and Auditi
For each fiscal year in which an apportionment of RMRA funds are received and upon expenditure of funds, local agencies must submit documentation to the Commission detailing the expenditure of those funds and include a description and location of each completed project, the amount of funds expended on the project, the completion date, and the estimated useful life of the project. The project expenditure reporting process provides an opportunity for local agencies to report on the progress and expenditures associated with multi-year projects that are not yet complete. Local agencies must also submit a Completed and In-Progress'Project Report by December 1 of each year to the Commission. The report must also be submitted electronically to the state.

Upon receipt of project expenditure reports, Commission staff reviews submittals to ensure completeness. All completed project expenditure reports as submitted by local agencies will be posted to the Commission's website. The Commission analyzes the completed project expenditure reports and aggregates the project information to provide both statewide and local level summary information. This information is then posted to the Commission's website within a month of the program update being delivered at the Commission's meeting in January of each year and included in the Commission's Annual Report to the Legislature.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The main requirements for use of RMRA funds are codified in California Streets and Highways Code Sections 2034,2036, 2037, and 2038.

FINANCIAL CONSI DERATIONS
The City is expecting to receive an estimated $300,798 in RMRA funding for Fiscal Year 2022-23. Fiscal Year 2022-23 RMRA revenue is estimated to increase by 12.S-percent over the current fiscal year as fuel consumption increases with the easing of the pandemic. The budgeting of RMRA expenditures will be a part of the budget process in Fiscal Year 2022-23.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Resolution No. 6119, Approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 61 19 approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan Sample Motion: I move to adopt Resolution No. 61 19, as read by title only, approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan.

BACKGROUND
Federal regulations require each state to have a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) An SHSP is a statewide data-driven roadway safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. ln coordination with federal, state, local, and private sector traffic safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and emphasis or challenge areas. The SHSP addresses the "4Es" of traffic safety- Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services.

While the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) can be a means for providing local and rural road owners with an opportunity to address unique roadway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze roadway safety problems and recommend countermeasures. Preparing an LRSP facilitates the development of local partnerships and collaboration resulting in a prioritized list of countermeasures that can demonstrate a defined need and contribute to the statewide plan. An LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing roadway safety needs and demonstrates local agency responsiveness to challenges.

An LRSP can guide the organization of stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize countermeasures on local and rural roads. The process of developing an LRSP can be tailored to local protocols, needs, and issues. The LRSP also serves as the record Resolution No. 6119 Approving the Local Roadway Safety plan April 11,2022

document in fulfilling one of the major criteria in applying for future Highway Safety I mprovement Program federal-aid funds.

The City applied for state-aid funds for preparing an LRSP. On October 1, 2020, the California Transportation Commission awarded $4O,O0O to the City. As a requirement of the grant, the City provided a local funding match of $5,000. On May 10,2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a consulting agreement with GHD for the preparation of the LRSP
The purpose of the agenda matter is for the City Council to adopt Resolution No. 61 1g, approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan.

DISCUSSION
As mentioned, preparing an LRSP facilitates the development of local agency partnerships and collaboration and is a proactive approach to addressing roadway safety needs and demonstrates local agency responsiveness to challenges. The following local partnerships were formed as a stakeholder group in collaborating for the development of the LRSP:

Stakeholder Group
Boys and Girls Club
California Department of Transportation
Carpinteria-Sum merland Fi re Protection District
Carpinteria Unified School District
Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy City Committees:
o Public Facility site Acquisition/Development committee o Traffic Safety Committee
County of Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition + Coalition for Sustainable Transportation Santa Barbara County Association of Governments
Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department
Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District
Ventura County Transportation Commission
The concept of the LRSP was initially presented to the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) at its meeting in July 2021. ln October 2021, staff launched an on-line survey (Carpinteria Social Pinpoint Website) in order to compile and analyze the community's input about traffic safety concerns for the draft LRSP. The on-line survey was conducted for four months.

A draft LRSP was submitted to the TSC at its meeting in January 2022 for review and input. The draft LRSP was then submitted to the public Facility site Acquisition/Development Committee at its meeting in March Z0ZZ for further review and input. During the collaboration process, stakeholder group workshops were also Resolution No. 6119 Approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan April 11,2022

conducted in September 2021and January 2022. The draft LRSP was revised to incorporate feedback received through the City committee meetings, stakeholder groups, on-line surveys from the community, and internal staff review. The revised draft LRSP is shown in Attachment A. The recommended traffic safety improvements or "countermeasures" included in the draft LRSP for priority street intersections and roadway segments are key outcomes of this collaborative work.

Should the City Council approve the proposed LRSP, staff recommends Resolution No. 6119, as shown as Attachment A, for consideration.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
The Local Roadway Safety Plan addresses many of the goals and policy statements in the City's General Plan Circulation Element. ln particular (emphasis added):

Objective C-3; Provide a balanced transportation network with consistent designations and standards for roadways that will provide for the safe and efficient movement of qoods and people throuqh the communitv.

Objective C-4; lmprove the Carpinteria Avenue corridor to ensure adequate traffic flow, safe bicycle use,and improved aesthetic qualities, C-7b; Develop safe and direct pedestrian accessibility between residential areas, schools, parks, and shopping areas in both new and existing urban areas, C-7c; Provide safe mobilitv for the physicallv handicapped through the design of street improvements and public facilities,
C-7d; Practice signal timing that is designed for the safe m of the aqed and the handicapped at locations where such needs exi st, C-8; Support and develop safe, direct and well-maintained bicvcle and pedestrian svstems and recreational boating facilities that serve all segments of the public. a

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Other than the City's local share is in the amount of $5,000 for the development of the LRSP as required by the grant from the California Transportation Commission, there is no cost in approving the recommendation. An approved LRSP would serve as the record document in fulfilling one of the major criteria in applying for future Highway Safety lmprovement Program federal-aid funds and/or other grant funding.

LEGAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS
By preparing a LRSP, the City is carrying out good risk management practices

OPTIONS

1. Adopt Resolution No. 6119, approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan (staff recommendation).

Resolution No.6119 Approving the Local Roadway Safety plan April 11,2022

2. The City Council could choose to not approve the recommendation and direct staff as determined appropriate. Not approving the LRSP could result in missed opportunities to apply for future Highway Safety lmprovement Program federalaid funds and/or other grant funding.

Executive Summary
|n2020, the City of Carpinteria was awarded a state grant from Caltrans to perform a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). The LRSP is a requirement for Cycle 11 of the Highway Safety lmprovement Program (HSIP). The LRSP grant application included a citywide analysis of the roadway system in Carpinteria comprising of the current collisions patterns and high-risk roadway characteristics (systemic analysis). Carpinteria's goal is to identiff safety countermeasures to help mitigate the City's primary crash type trends and reduce the overall collision severity.

The LRSP is a collaborative process that is similar to a Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) except a LRSP has a local leadership group that represents the 5 E's (not just engineering) and public engagement. The 5 E's of traffic safety include Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Seruices, and Emerging Technologies.

The
Engireering Enforcement Education
This holistic approach allows certain areas of concern not showing a crash pattern to be analyzed. Also, it fosters local, state, and agency partnerships to advance local road safety. ln following the overall LRSP process, a Stakeholder Working Group (Working Group) was formed with the city as the lead and local organizations from the 5 E's and anyone with an interest in improving the City's roadway safety. This group gathered for meetings to discuss the overall collision analysis, goals, priorities, safety recommendations, and overall development of the safety plan.

Based on the past 5 years collision analysis and the City's Stakeholder Working Group Meetings, this LRSP will address multiple Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge Areas including but not limited to:

1. lntersections

2. Aggressive Driving/Speed Management

3. Bicyclists

4. Pedestrians

5. Distracted Driving
ln addition, the vision, mission statement, and goals were established in guiding the development of the LRSP. lt was also decided that the LRSP for the City of Carpinteria would be a living document that is updated as needed with official adopted updates every five (5) years per HSIP requirements.

Data analysis, public input, and City feedback helped to determine the priority locations in the city. These locations, along with their proposed countermeasures, are shown in the tables below.

These prograns w ill require f unding and support to be inplenEnted It is noted that there are funding opportunities that don't require a collision history (High Safety lmprovement program (HSIP) set-aside funding). Last call (HSIP Cycle 10) had set-aside funding for pedestrian crossing enhancementi, edgelines, guardrail, and tribes. ln addition, the upcoming HSIP Cycle 11 (due to come out in Aprit/M ay 2022) might include a set aside for bicycle safety projects. Therefore, this gives the City the opportunity to prioritize locations that could benefit for a safety improvement before a collision issue exists.

Most of the proposed countermeasures are HSIP fundable (through benefit to cost ratio (BCR) or set aside funding).

However, countermeasures can be implemented through other funding sources to include Active Transportation Program (ATP)

1. lntroduction
The project involves the development of a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), which provides local agencies an opportunity to address unique roadway safety needs in their jurisdictions. This comprehensive document will both help to guide City in safety countermeasures and allow eligibility for funding in future HSIP applications. The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze local safety problems and recommend engineering safety improvements for future Highway Safety lmprovement Program (HSIP) funding.

Preparing an LRSP facilitates local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that contribute to California's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) overallvision and goals. This SHSP focuses on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions (FSl collisions) with focused challenge areas with a focus on the Five "E's" of Traffic Safety (see Figure 1).

2. Background

2.1 Purpose and Need
The City of Carpinteria is located at the southeastern corner of Santa Barbara County. This coastal city is located 12 miles east of Santa Barbara, California with an approximate population of 13,500. The Circulation Element of the City of Carpinteria's General Plan/Local Coastal Land lJse Ptan & Environmental lmpact Report details the City's plan and goals for transportation-related needs in the City.

Focusing in on the roadway safety needs, the past six (6) years of collisions (2015-2020) were evaluated for the City and Caltrans roadways. For purposes of this analysis, Caltrans roadways include US 101 interchanges (where ramps intersect with City roadways) and State Routes 150 and 192 in City limits. Collisions on the northbound and southbound US 101 mainline and ramps were excluded from the analysis. During this period, there was one (1) fatal and nine (9)severe injury collisions on City roadways and one (1) fataland one (1)severe injury on Caltrans roadways (see Figure 3 for locations of these collisions). ln improving roadway safety for the City of Carpinteria, it is important to focus on mitigating these high injury collisions. More information on these collisions can be found in Section 4.2: Collision Data.

2.2.2 Safe System Approach
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is using the Safe System approach to work towards their goal of zero fatalities in vehicles. This approach coincides with the recent USDOT National Roadway Safety Strategy. ln providing a comprehensive approach to safety, the Safe System approach is to design our vehicles and infrastructure in a manner that anticipates human error and accommodates human tolerances with a goal of reducing fatal and serious injuries. The following framework is intended to assist the vehicle and infrastructure communities in making decisions in alignment with Safe System principles. lmplementing and selecting safe system practices and design will incrementally improve safety over time.

FHWA defines the Safe System Approach Principles and Elements as follows:

Safe Road Users-Ihe safety of all road users is equitably addresse4 including those who walk, bike, drive, ride transit, or travel by other modes.

Safe Vehicles-Vehrcles are designed and regulated to minimize the frequency and severity of collisions using safety measures that incorporate the latest technology.

Safe Speeds-Humans are /ess likely to survive high-speed crashes. Reducing speeds can accommodate human-injury tolerances in three ways: reducing impact forces, providing additional time for drivers to stop, a nd imp rovi ng v isib il ity.

Safe Roads-Designing transportation infrastructure to accommodate human misfakes and iniury tolerances can greatty reduce the severity of crashes that do occur. Examples include physically separating people GHD I City of Carpinteria | 11228420 | Local Roadway Safety Plan 3 This document is in draft form.

traveling at different speeds, providing dedicated times for differenf users to move through a space, and alerting users fo hazards and other road users.

Post'Crash Care-People who are iniured in cotlisions rely on emergency first responders to quickly locate and stabilize their injuries and transport them to medicat facitities. Posf-ciash care also inctudes foiensic analysis at the crash site, traffic incident management, and other activities.

Adopting a Safe System approach does not absolve users of their responsibility. Other safety practices such as speed management strategies, driver education, enforcement, and effective emergency response wili remain essential to improving road safety. With the passing of Assembly Bill (AB) 43, there wiil be fti;xibility in setting speed timits.

As shown in Figure 5, is a safe systems approach.

All feedback from this meeting was incorporated into the Final Draft Document.

3.5 SHSP Ghallenge/Emphasis Areas
Based on the collision data analysis and input from stakeholders, this LRSP will address multiple Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge Areas including:

1. lntersections

2. Aggressive Driving/Speed Management

3. Bicyclists

4. Pedestrians

5. Distracted Driving

3.6 Vision, Mission Statement, and Goals
The members of the stakeholder working group coordinated to establish the vision, mission statement, and goals that guided the development of the document. ldeally, this document will help the city move toward Vision Zero with a Safe Systems Approach. The aim of Vision Zero is to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all. Traditionally traffic deaths and severe injuries have been considered as inevitable side effects of modern life. The reality is that these tragedies can be addressed over time by taking a proactive, preventative approach that prioritizes traffic safety as a public health issue.

This was prompted by a collision in 2020 where two high school students were walking in the crosswalk walking their bikes and were hit by a vehicle that violated pedestrian right of way.

4.2 Gollision Data
The City of Carpinteria collision data was gathered using the Statewide lntegrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and City collision records provided by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office. Each data set was analyzed, crosschecked, and compiled into one complete comprehensive data set, This process was done to ensure that all GHD I City of Carpinteria | 11228420 | Local Roadway Safety Plan 9 This document is in draft form.

reported collisions occurring within the city are accounted for and to provide additional information that one system may not have captured. The data set contains six complete years' worth of collisions spanning from January 1,2015 to December 31,2020.1n addition, 2021 data was provided by the City from January 1 to May 21 but was not analyzed for this LRSP.

During the six-year period between 2015 and 2020, a total of 380 collisions were reported in the City of Carpinteria.

These collisions were classified based on roadway jurisdiction (City or Caltrans). Collisions were further categorized into intersection related collisions and roadway segment related collisions with a separate focus on the City and Caltrans jurisdiction roadways. Mainline collisions along US 101 were not included in the dataset.

The pie chart in Figure 7 depicts the number of collisions by roadway jurisdiction and collision location (intersection or segment). The highest number of collisions were at city intersections (209 collisions).

The main collision type was rear end followed by broadside. The majority of collisions were recorded as property damage only with 28.60/o of the collisions in the past six years recorded as fatal and injury collisions.

Figure 11 Summary of City Cottisions (2Ot&2020)
The total number of collisions from the past 6-years (2015 to 2020) and Equivalent property Damage Only (EpDO) ratings were assessed at the City locations to aid in the determination of the top study intersections and segments (refer to Appendix B: Collision Data for the breakdown of collision severity and violation type by intersection). EpDO measures the relative severity of a location based on the comprehensive costs associated with each severity of collision. The Highway Safety Manual's (HSM) EPDO methodology assigns weight based on equivalence to a property damage only (PDO) collision where a PDO has a weight of 1 and a fatality has a weight of 544. per the Caltrans Locat Roadway Safety Manual, it is recommended to rank locations with higher severity as higher focus.

Table 1 provides the comprehensive collision costs and associated EPDO weights that were used in ranking the collisions. These were based on data from Table 7-1 in the HSM.

4.2.3.4 DistractedDriving
Distracted driving is categorized in collision data as inattention. Categories for inattention include cell phones (handheld or hands-free), electronic equipment, smoking, eating, children, animal, personal hygiene, and reading.

From 2015 to2O2Q, there were eight collisions with at least one party cited due to inattention reported in the S\ /ITRS database. Six collisions were on City roadways, one was at a US '101 interchange, and one was on SR 1g2. This is approximately two percenl (2o/o) of all collisions. There was no fatal and one severe injury collision due to inattention.

The severe injury collision involved the use of a hands-free cell phone while driving. Figure 19 shows the breakdown of causes of inattention for these collisions.

4.2.3.5 Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving can be quantified through collision data through unsafe speed violations. There were 54 collisions due to unsafe speed on City roadways between 2015 and 2020. This is approximately sixteen percent (16%) of all collisions on City roadways. Many of these collisions resulted in rear end collisions. There were no fatal or severe injury collisions, but 13 collisions were classified as minor injury collisions as a result of unsafe speed.

4.3 Field Reconnaissance
A field visit was performed on Wednesday, February 2nd lo analyze the roadways throughout the City of Carpinteria and observe areas with high collision severity and incidents and areas of concern through public engagement. lnformation from this visit is compiled in Appendix C: Field Reconnaissance. ln general, the following observations were made
During the day of the field visit, traffic volumes for
observed roadways were low. No major congestion
at intersections and road segments was observed.

Vehicle speeds at observed roadways were around
the posted speed limit. ln general, aggressive
driving was not observed.

There was a high amount of pedestrian and bicycle
activity throughout the City, especially around
downtown areas along Carpinteria Avenue, Linden
Avenue, 7th Street, and 8th Street.

Pedestrian connectivity along the outskirts of the
City is not continuous. Carpinteria Avenue in front of
City Hall did not have sidewalk on all approaches.

There is a significant number of uncontrolled
crosswalks (at unsignalized intersections and midblock) along Carpinteria Avenue. These crosswalks were highly utilized by pedestrians and bicyclists.
ln general, there was not a lot of cutthrough traffic
(from US 101 due to construction) observed to be
using local roadways to bypass US 101.

US 101 divides the north part of the City from the south side of the City. Vehicular and pedestrian access across the US 101 is somewhat limited to a few overpasses.

The northern part of the City is mostly residential. Many commercial trucks were observed to be on Casitas Pass Road and Foothill Road (SR 192). These commercial, heavy vehicles are presumably accessing the agricultural land uses just outside of the City limit.

The existing crosswalk across Foothill Road (SR 192) near Carpinteria High Schoolwas observed. During the time of the visit, there were no pedestrians crossing at this location. The crosswalk is utilized at the beginning and the end of school hours. Speeds along Foothill Road are high and there are a lot of heavy vehicles.

"Please have the city give a presentation on green bike lane conflict markings and include the presentation in the city newsletter and on social media." ii. "These are great, but even better would be dedicated lanes, especially along main roads. Foothill Rd, for example, requires cyclists to ride in the traffic lane." iii. "Nothing about the lanes lF bicyclists actually stayed in them - they are all over the road, ignoring traffic rules, ignoring cars, riding next to each other especially on Carp Ave and Via Real - running stop sign at Santa Ynez and via real. Kids riding against traffic especially near the middle school- no one turning right expects a bike coming from the right."
iv. "We need them in Carp! bicyclers sometimes ride on the sidewalk which is dangerous for walkers. Many ebikes are too fast."

4. \Mat are your thoughts on the parklets in the downtown area? Please explain. a. Figure 24 shows the results of this question. The majority of responses indicated a desire to keep the parklets in the downtown area.
lndifferent 1l
Remove them: 4
"- Keepthem:31
Figure 21 Thoughts on the Parklets in the Downtown Area Explanations to these responses include:
. "The parklets seem to encourage pedestrian traffic to local businesses resulting in fewer cars on the road. We have the weather for outside dining, let's take advantage of it." . "Keep them but significantly improve their appearance. Most look terrible. A consistent standard should be developed and applied. Additionally, businesses should be expected to pay for the use of this valuable land."
. "l am afraid that once a few are approved, the door will open for everyone to build whatever suits their needs. ln a small town like we have, I don't think they are necessary (after COVID is gone)."

5. On average, how often do you walUbike around Carpinteria? a. Figure 25 shows the results of this question. The majority of responses indicated walking or biking around Carpinteria 3-4 days per week.

i. "l would like to see more of the blinking lights (like by Albertsons, crossing Carp Ave) by The Spot.

Many pedestrians cross that area and l've seen many almost hit. I'm so glad we have stop signs there now but bringing more attention to bikers and walkers around the main beach and campground areas would be nice."

iii. "Bikes ignore everyone. I've been nearly hit by bikes, cars often ignore pedestrians -
however,
because of cars parked in carp ave, it's sometimes hard to see someone on the corner ahead -
there's
one really bad blind spot going south - I think across from jacks or a little further." iv. "Carpinteria is the perfect place to bike and walk. The surface is flat and the scenery is beautiful. The fewer the cars, the better. Car drivers could be more considerate to pedestrians and bicyclists. And bicyclists could do a lot better job of following the rules of the road, too. For example: not riding on sidewalks or riding two to three abreast on the road."

8. \A/hat roadway improvements would you like to see in and around school zones? a. Responses to this question include:
i. "Blinking crosswalks, HAWK system, green bike lanes" ii. "Pedestrian crosswalk across Carpinteria Ave at Reynolds is safety risk. High vehicle speed, poor visibility at times and a lack of additional visibility markers or flashing lights. Many children use this crosswalk in the morning to get to Aliso School. I've had several close calls and so have many of my neighbors living at Lavender Ct & Garden Village. An upgrade similar to other crossings on Carp Ave would greatly improve the safety here."
iii. "Slower speeds, curb extensions, flashing beacons and other traffic calming devices." iv. "Bike safety, in this case, it's the kids on bikes ignoring drivers and not following rules - they need to ride with traffic and not surprise drivers by indignantly riding towed them - they are simply not seen of a car is turning right"
\A/lrat other improvements would you like to see?
a. Responses to this question include:
i. "Speed limits/bumpers on El Carro lane. People are very fast on this internal road. Please look into adding safety signs and bummers on this street. Lots of accidents on this street." ii. "The crosswalks are good, but many of them are not well placed. Often I am startled by a pedestrian stepping into a crosswalk from behind a tree or lamppost. I'd have been stopped already if I could have seen them."
iii. "Bike lanes and sidewalks. Severalareas in the downtown area don't have sidewalks. Biking around town in Carpinteria is dangerous because there is barely a shoulder." iv. "lmproving and maintaining road surfaces are very important for safe cycling." v. "At some of our busy intersections (Santa Ynez & El Carro) there are often large vehicles parked too near the corners and it is very difficult to pull out and make the turn."

10. Additional comments
a. Responses to this prompt include:
i. "Extremely noisy vehicles, cars, motorcycles and trucks along Carp Ave from Reynolds to Holly" ii. "l'm concerned about the intersection of Linden and 5th (Amtrak Station). lt already is a safety hazard and now there is a proposed development there, which will create more hazards. Being so close to the train tracks requires extra caution, not less."
iii. "Parking enforcement on Cravens Lane is very important. Some vehicles remain without moving for months."

6. ldentify Strategies
Through coordination and feedback from the City of Carpinteria, LRSP working group, and public engagement, safety projects and strategies were identified for the Local Roadway Safety Plan. Countermeasure development was coordinated with the city to collect feedback and identify recommended countermeasures.

The LRSP will reference specific location engineering projects and systemic safety applications. ln addition, safety strategies and projects that address the other E's to include Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies will be discussed below.

6.1 Engineering Strategies
Per the HSIP program, engineering countermeasures are available for grant funding. Per the most recent HSlp Cycle (Cycle 10) the approved countermeasures and crash reduction benefits were quantified in the HSlp analyzer. priority intersections and segment locations were determined based off the collision analysis and relative severity, public comments, recent safety improvements, and City feedback and recommendations. Since the next HSlp Cycle 11 is in 2022,lurlher safety analysis should be conducted at that time in refining the collision data and subsequent safety projects and Benefit to Cost Ratios (BCRs).

Countermeasures were evaluated and prioritized based on benefit to cost ratios as prescribed in Caltrans most recent Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM). The benefit value of a crash is the expected reduction in crashes with the countermeasure and the associated costs with the crash. Caltrans has opted to use 5 years of observed crashes in estimating future expected crashes. A benefit in reduction of cost can include benefits derived from savings of societal cost (emergency response, medicalcost, and property damage). Cost associated with a project is based on planning level estimates of construction cost, planning and environmental cost and costs associated with righlof-way and utilities.

The priority intersections and segment locations were determined based off the collision analysis and relative severity, public comments, recent safety improvements, and City feedback and recommendations.

6.1.2 City Segment Projects
Through the analysis period there were 133 collisions reported on City of Carpinteria roadway segments (nonintersection related). A breakdown of roadway collisions on City streets are included in Appendix B: Gollision Data.

Segment countermeasures were developed in the same manner as the intersections. Eight (8) priority segments were chosen based on EPDO and collision frequency. These priority segments and their characteristics are shown in Table 6 below.

Additionally, due to the numerous reports and public comments, it is recommended that El Carro Lane has additional speed enforcement and consideration of traffic calming measures. Speed and volume data should be collected and analyzed to determine the proper traffic calming measures for the conditions.

6.1 .3 ldentified Challenge/Emphasis Areas
Per the SHSP, the identified challenge/emphasis areas for the LRSP were as follows:
1' lntersections - Projects were identified for the top intersections with collision severity and frequency. 2' Aggressive Driving - Aggressive driving can include improper speeds, improper turning and improper passing.

Engineering strategies were identified for intersections and segments at locations where these issues were identified. Non-engineering strategies to prevent aggressive driving includes enforcement in selective areas. a. Assembly Bill (AB) 43 was signed into law by Governor Newsom on October 8,2021. This bill will change several aspects of speed setting and enforcement in California with a goal to make roadways safer for all road users. The new law is set to go into effect by June 30, 2024, and allows agencies more flexibility with keeping the previous speed limit, allows business and residential districts to have 15 and 20 mph speed limits, and allows the agency to round down the proposed speed limit based on an engineering study due to a high presence of bicycles or pedestrians.

3. Bicycling - Bicycling safety countermeasures/projects were recommended at multiple locations.

4. Pedestrians - Providing pedestrian accommodations to include crossing enhancements. Other locations for pedestrian improvements are identified in the engineering strategies. Non-engineering strategies to improve pedestrian safety will be discussed in a later section of the report.

5. Distracted Driving - Prevention of distracted roadway usage is addressed though education and enforcement component of the non-engineering strategies. These strategies can be communicated through social media channels and through the schools.

6.1.4 Systemic Safety Countermeasures
\Men selecting countermeasures, just focusing on locations with current collision issues is a reactive approach to roadway safety planning. A reactive approach targets recent hot-spots and specific problems that are associated with ( GHD I City of Carpinteria I 11228420 | Local Roadway Safety Plan 30 This document is in draft form.

To ihe maximum extent permitted by law, GHD disclaims any responsibility or liability arising from or in connection with iliis draft document. these locations; because of this approach, locations with low traffic volumes but with similar safety issues as hot spot locations are not addressed. To mitigate collisions in a both a reactive and proactive approach, Caltrans' Local Road Safety Manual suggests agencies utilize a comprehensive approach that includes systemic and hot spot location improvements in developing a safety plan.

6.2 Non-Engineering Strategies
A comprehensive approach to selecting countermeasure recognizes that not all safety issues can be addressed through infrastructure improvement. The comprehensive approach to safety involves the 5 E's of traffic safety. Besides engineering safety countermeasures, it is important to recommend safety countermeasures to coincide with the other safety E's.

6.2.1 Education
Education strategies are listed below
Bicycle and pedestrian safety campaigns

6.3 Programmatic Strategies
Additionally, there are multiple programs that the City of Carpinteria can implement to increase public safety. Some of these strategies are listed as potential countermeasures for specific locations but can also be implemented citywide.

The table below lists multiple programs that the City can adopt or create as they see fit. lt is worth noting that these all will require funding, policy guidance, and City staff oversight to be successful. The funding can possibly be obtained through grants or City funding sources.

This would be a program or policy that
identifies traffic calming measures suitable
for the local neighborhoods and any
implementation plan as necessary.

This program allows the community to work
with the local enforcement agency to
determine locations where targeted
enforcement is needed.

These programs can range from bicycle and
pedestrian safety to safe and smart driving
education to bring awareness and safe
practices to all road users.

This policy can be along the lines of Vision

Programl Description

7. Prioritize and Incorporate Strategies

7.1 Funding Sources
The City of Carpinteria can look for opportunities to incorporate safety enhancements with the Capital lmprovement Program. However, it is noted that funding is very limited and typically used from roadway paving. Additional funding opportunities can come through grants including HSIP, Active Transportation Program, and the Measure A program through SBCAG. ln addition, the U.S. Department of Transportation recently received $1.5 billion in grant funding through the Rebuilding American lnfrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program.

The City can monitor this program to determine whether or not some of the projects from the plan would be appliable for this funding type.

The primary source of potential funding for projects recommended in this plan is HSlp funding. Each cycle has available project funding for Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) and funding set-aside projects. BCR projects use expected benefit and estimated cost to determine eligibility and likelihood for receiving funding. The expected benefit is determined using the crash history and the predicted collision reduction from the recommended countermeasures. On the other hand, funding set-aside projects do not require a collision history. However, for HSIP Cycle 10, the maximum funding amount per agency for set-asides was considerably less than the funding amount per agency for BCR projects. The available set-aside projects from this cycle were Guardrail Upgrades, pedestrian Cros.lng Enhancements, lnstalling Edgelines, and Tribes.

ATP funding for engineering projects is primarily for installing or improving non-mobilized transportation infrastructure.

Projects are more likely to receive this type of funding if it helps to inirease the number of walkers and bikers, is in a disadvantaged community, or improves the safety of children, specifically at school zones. Ultimately, the goal of this funding is to increase the use of active transportation travel. 7 .1.1 Disadvantaged Communities
The following priority locations qualify as an AB 1550 Low-lncome Community, according to the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG). Five out to the six priority intersections and four of the eight priority segments qualifl7. ln evaluating how to apply the countermeasures in an equitable manner it is important to consider the disadvantage communities. ln addition, these locations can be prioritized for obtaining and receiving grant funding due to this status.

7.2 lmplementation Plan
Table 10 contains a list of the proposed intersection projects on City roadways and their potentialfunding opportunities. Table 11 shows a list of the proposed segment projects for City roadway segments and their potential funding opportunities. Each table ranks the funding sources for each countermeasure (1st being the first priority and 4th being the last priority). lt should be noted that Measure A funding is reserved for projects that address local street improvements (pothole repairs, synchronized traffic signals, etc.), increased senior and disabled accessibility to public transit, safer walking and biking routes to schools, and increased opportunities for carpool and vanpool programs.

Low-cost systemic countermeasures are preferred by Caltrans in the HSIP process.

8. Evaluation Process
To evaluate the success of this plan, collision analysis every S-years, along with requests for public feedback, can take place and be compared to the established goals.

Goal #1: Strive toward zero fatal and severe injury collisions citywide Measure of Success: A downward trend of fatal and severe injury collisions over a period of 5 years
Goal #2: lmprove multimodal transportation safety by expanding the City's non-motorized transportation i nfrastructu re
Measure of Success: An increase in non-motorized infrastructure constructed citywide Goal #3: lmprove safety around schools with a connected multimodal system, enhanced crossings, and education and enforcement
Measure of Success: Students and parents feel safer walking, biking, or rolling to school after the implementation of multimodal countermeasures and education programs. This could be quantified through a survey sent out by the schools. The LRSP survey captured some of this data that could be used as a baseline.

Goal #4: lncrease walking, biking, rolling (wheelchair, skateboard, scooter, etc.) to downtown district, to work, and to school
Measure of Success: The number of residents choosing active transportation more often noticeably increases. This could be tracked through a survey on the City's website.

Goal #5: Reduce speeding collisions through engineering, enforcement, and education strategies Measure of Success: The number of unsafe speed collisions trends downward for a period of 5 years Goal #6: Reduce improper turning and backing collisions in the downtown area with speed and parking management
Measure of Success: A reduction of improper turning and backing collisions after the implementation of speed and parking management
Goal#7: Reduce pedestrian and bicycle collisions with enhanced crossings and multimodalaccommodations Measure of Success: The number of pedestrian and bicycle collisions decrease after the construction of multimodal safety projects.

pedestrian There needs to be a crosswalk al the concha loma/bike path: to enter the concha C";;;;l loma n€ighborhood lrom the bike path you eilher need to backtract or go to dump road- neilher ere good options-esp for kids who are qossing after school! Drivind On ramp is an accident waiting to happen. There is no time between making the Comme-nt tuT from the round-about, gaining freeway speed and trying to see oncoming traftic, all at the seme time.

Thefe is no time between making the c"rm;t i,i,iiiil jnt"",llf**, sainins freeway speed and tryins to see oncomins trafriq 34.4o't4o7 Driving This intersection could use a 4 way stop. The island in the middle of the crosswalk Commenl makes for a tiqht left tum off Malibu. School traffic makes it a nightmare.

Aqreed with the olher @mmenter that a crosswalk or maybe even a stop sign would make this a much more accessible and safe option for those aiming to get to/from podestrian the Concha Loma neighborhood from/to the bike path.

Foothill/192 is dangerous for cyclists. The City should coordinate with the State to add a bike lan€ the entire length from Nidever to the .lSO.

The new paved trail for pedestrians and cyclists under the ,l01 is an example of what should be done wherever possible around town!
Th€ planned trail connectinq Ash Ave. with Santa Claus Lane should be completed ASAP, as it represents an alternate route for cyclists that is safer than Carp Ave. or Via Real.

There needs to be a stop sign here drivers tend to pass pedestrians specially students it is very scary
This crosswalk is extremely dangerous. Vehicles rarely stop for pedestrians and pe.tcstrian now lhat Howard Carden School has moved into the St. Joseph's Church property, sregularly.CurbextensionssuchasthoseattheLindenAvenueatElCano - ----addressedintheLRSP.

There is no walkway for pedestrians on the south end of via real (lRincon] to hwy 150) road is often @ngested with auto commuters weekday and bike traffic on the week€nd. Pedestrians regularly use hwy 150 bridge and Bailard bridge to walk over the freeway to get to the bluffs. Both bridges feel unsafe, €rs are traveling to fast on congested roads and the bike lanes are not adequately wide for walkers.

Please consider a 4-Way STOP at this corner of 7th & Elm. Trucks, deliveries, rude drivers travel on 7th at a very high speed. Those visiting see the large wide crosswalk and "assume" it's a 4 Way STOP, then after the honking, screeching tire and near misses realize it is not.

Daily very close encounters. Also a very busy time when kids are walking to and from school and visitors and residents are trying to cross going to the garden, train, beach. Thank you.

Pavement has seriously deteriorated to the point that it,s dangerous for bicyclists and cars on Sterling between Malibu and El Caro. Chunks of asphalt are loose and look like they will be coming apart soon. This is a potential lawsuit waiting to happen if someone is injured.

Excessive speed. I would seem that the majority find the curent posted speed ot 25 ^ . ^_^^- . mphnototh€irliking.onlyamatteroftimebefor€thereisaseriousaccident. 34399084 -1'19.513226 Trucks are frequently parked illegally on Santa Monica Rd near 7-1 1 (either extending into the red ilrb on the east side of the street, or in front of the lire hydrant on the rest side). This severely limits visibility at th€ intersection and is a s€rious salety hazard to cars, bikes, and pedestrians.

Linden - 1 g2/Foothill interseclion: Unless there,s a trafiic back-up (moming & aftemoon), many vehicles do not bother to com€ lo a complete stop at this intersection. There are a number of cars and small lrucks that, alter a rolling stop, "gun" engines and speed away from the intersection al unsafe speeds.

No right hand turn from Oqan to Linden is comptetely ignored all times of day.

Should be removed
I walk everyday and there ar€ 3 spots where both myself and daughter are regularly almost hit by Grs

1. Casitas pass and Carpinteria Ave - Cars driving doM Casitas lly around the @mer turning right onto Carpinteria Ave. Evsn ifre are crossing on a walk sign, many cut in front of you and wave orjust don,t see you. Giv€n it's a school qossing I can't imagine someone won't be seriously injured.

The second area is where it is a danger to pedestrians are the yellow lights outsid€ of Albertsons on Casitas pass. Many €rs stop, but a lot speed through. police €nforcement of something is needed

There are an incredible number of vehicles exceeding the speed limit on Carpinteria Avenue between the 101 South offramp and Seventh Street. There needs to be much more speed limit enforcement on this stretch of Carpinleria Ave, or someone, I fear, is going to g€t seriously injured or killed. Please have the Police spend additional time on in this ar6a with radar guns, etc. ln order to enfore the posted speed limit. Many children, parents, and senior citizens live, walk, and bicycle in area.

The Exit from USPS is very dangerous making a lefr hand tum. Please consider a Right Turn only onto Carpinterja Ave.

The posted speed on El Caro is 20 but parents speed to drop kids ofr at Canalino.

The curue makes it dangerous to cross al Jay. A four way stop or slight speed bumps would help. Also, the tree in front of Canalino makes it difricult to see oncoming traffic from left.

There needs to be a traffic mntrol measure on Palm Ave to slow traflic between 8lh streel and 6th sireet adjacent to the Carpint€ria Children's Project.

lf you're driving on El Caro, and want to turn left on Sanla Ynez, there is a bad "blind" spot if cars are parked too close to the corner (due to a slight curve in the a^ an7^n7 road). The curb on Santa Ynez should be painted red ior at least 20 feet trom the comer (no parking allowed).

This road is too narowfor the large semis that drive up and down this street. Mainly to the lettuce grower up the street. They sometimes miss other trucks and cars by inches and hard to turn on lhe S tums. They should be re routed off of msitas pass notSantaMonica.*Theyalsodrivefastthroughourresidentialstreetatallhoutsol 34.407122 the night.

Thank you for this forum,

People are driving way to fast on via Real between casitas pass and the roundabout on organ. The posted speed limit does nothing. Placing a stop sign at via real and 34.399 vallecito would help.

The bike lane and road conditions on the section of Calle Real between Craven and Santa Ynez Street are unsafe and in poor condition. This road desperately needs to 34.405766 be replaced with proper Class 2 or 3 painter bike lanes.

People driving way too fast, ignoring stop signs on this dangerous thoroughfare.

It's so dangerous trying to make a left tum out of Franciscan Village during rush hours. Cars zoom by from the lefl, but you €n't see them coming without pulling across the bike lane, and partially into the lane of traffiq This intersection \irculd bensfit from a mirror.

It would be so lovely for our kids to have a safe route to school along Via Real.

Curently you can't bike to school doM this street with children due to the narrow unprotected bike lane and the uneven, degraded pavement.

It's neady impossible to drive doM Via Real for any length of time without seeing someone on a bicycle trying to navigate the space with automobiles. For such a smmon bicyde route, I'm surprised that there isn'i more attention paid to maintaining the pavem€nt. Would love to see a protectsd bike lane here one day.

Would love to see some sman rewo*ing of the school drop off and pick up zones.

The traffic here on school mornings is rough for caregivers and commuters alike. A roundabout perhaps? Or more safe routes to school with protected bike lanes so there is less car transit!
A crosswalk is needed ov€r Linden Ave from Ogan Road to the west side of Linden.

There is no way for students to get from one side of Linden to lho other until they get across th6 street from the school.

It is almost impossible to hear the audio on the traffic signal. Better audio like the onos at the Carp and Linden intersection is needed.

There really is no designated sidewalk here. What litile there is is a bumpy mix of asphalt and cement. There is only enough room to go single file and barely that.

Planis are obstructing the passageway almost entir€ly. This block is not safe for school children. Childr6n must use this sidewalk every day to get to Cannalino School.

Would love a crosswalk on Linden going north from lsland B[ew side to parking LoVCity Markel side :)
Pedestrian sosswalk across Carpinteria Ave at Reynolds is safety risk. High vehicle speed, poor visibility at times and a lack of additional visibility markers or llashing lights. Many children use this crosswalk in the morning to get to Aliso School. I've had several clos€ calls and so have many of my neighbors living at Lavender Ct & Garden Village. An upgrade similar to other crossings on Carp Ave would greatly improve the safety here.

There are two lanes on southbound Santa ynez Ave. The right lane can tum right onto Carpinteria Avenue or mntinue onto 7th Street; lhe len lane is left_turn{nly onto Carpinteria Avenue. Sometimes people in the lefi lane think they can continue Driving onto 7th Street. lf there is a €r in the right lane continuing onto 7th St. this risks a Comment mllision. l've seen near misses sevoral times.

I suggest adding curued lane striping io the intersection to show that the left lane must turn left.

This and many other interseclions in Carp have very liile visibility bemuse €rs are allowed to park right up to th€ intersection. Red curbs and no parking zones need to accommodate typical view sheds. Otheruise you have to pull into the sosswalks/intersections making it a hazard for pedestrians as well.

Many of the crosswalks have poor visibility at night be€use of the altemating street light pattem. lf someone is ffossing from a side that doesn,t have a light you €n't see lhem until it is almost too late. All of the crosswalks need better lighting and/or those flashing lights.

Blinking crosswalk lights should be placed (akin to the sosswalks in Old Town Goleta). Especially at night it's hard to se€ pedestrians trying to soss.

Please, please treate a safe crosswalk on El Caro between the school and the St Joseph's parking lot. Parents and kids cross the street all over the place at busy pickup and dropoff times when there are ers everywhere. This is a tragedy waiting to happen.
early morning speeding. I ride this road most mornings about 6:30 am and th6 speeding along foolhill by the High school is concerning Street Light is partially obscured by city tree that needs to be trimmed back.

P€destrian Pedestrian lights need to be installed for kids and adults to cross safely as drivers Comment still ignoro the sign that there is a crosswalk Any time the freeway backs up, many commuters headed 101N8 exit to the frontage road at Bailard and at Casitas Pass. Drivers ignors the stop signs at the Driving two mobile home parks and clog up the surface streets. This has tumed an 8 min Comment drive to the high school into a 45 min one. lf the lead car on red doesn't tum right at Casitas Pass it doesn't allow for this congestion to clear at all.

When trying to cross across Casitas Pass Rd, I had to wait through a few cycle before getting the walk signal. Perhaps the push button is not connected

Pavement condition is very poor on Holly Avenue Approach. Sight Dislance does not seem to be an issue . The crosswalk across Carpinteria Avenue is uncontrolled.. There were some instances where vehicle did not yield to pedestrians.
o This is in the edge of downtown area, lots of pedestrian traffic . Advance stop bar may help with pedestrian crossing, vehicles stopping on minor street blocked the crosswalks a few times. aa

Cour.rcrl Aceruol Srnrr Reponr

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Annual report on the progress being made implementing the City's General Plan

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Accept the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report and direct the Community Development Director to submit the Report to the Governor's Office Planning and Research.

Sample Motion: I move to accept the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report and to direct the Community Development Director to submit the Report to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to California State law, each City and County is required to prepare an Annual Report to its legislative body on the status of the General Plan and progress on its implementation. The law requires that a copy of the General Plan Annual Progress Report (Report) be submitted to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) at the same time it is submitted to the legislative body. The Community Development Department will send the report to the State and post the document on the City's website pursuant to Council's direction.

DISCUSSION
Carpinteria adopted an update of its General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan in January 2003. An updated Housing Element was certified by the State in 2014. The Housing Element Annual Report is reviewed and submitted separately from the General Plan Annual Report. The 2021 Housing Element Report, reviewed and approved by the City Council on March 14,2022, was submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development in March 2021, and is included as an exhibit with the General Plan Annual Progress Report.
2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report
April 1 1,2022
Page2
The General Plan identifies the central goal of the community.

To preserve the essential character of our small beach town, its famity-oriented residential neighborhoods, /s unique visual and natural resources and its open, rural sunoundings while enhancing recreational, cultural and economic opportunities for our citizens.
lmplementation of the central goal is described through objectives and policies organized by eight elements: Land Use, Housing, Community Design, Circulation, Open Space/Recreation & Conservation, Safety, Noise, and PublicFacilities & Services.

T_he 2021 Report was prepared, in part, to comply with the requirements of OPR's General Plan Guidelines. The format and content of the Report has been prepared in accordance with the State's submittal requirements. The report includes a summary of activities and actions taken by the City that implement the objectives and policies oi tne General Plan. The report is organized by the eight General Plan elements. Each General Plan Element has been identified and is accompanied by a brief summary of its adoption and amendments that followed. lmportant goals and objectives are then summarized with a description of City activities and achievements that were undertaken to implement those objectives and policies over the last calendar year. ln summary, the Report describes various deveropment, legislative and administrative/regulatory actions that serve to implement the General Plan. The accomplishments include actions taken by the City Council, Planning Commission and various committees and boards in response to private and public development project applications, legislative actions that further the objectives and policies of the Geneial Plan, and supporting administrative and regulatory activities undertaken by City staff.

POLICY CONSISTENCY
As a requirement of Government Code (Section 65400(a)(2)), the Report serves as evidence of implementation of the City's General Plan goals, objectives and policies. By submitting the Report to the Office of Planning and Research anO tne Department of Housing and Community Development each year, the City fulfills statutory requirements to report certain housing information that shows progress in the local agency's efforts in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts. The Report is also a tool for understanding where General Plan implementation work remains and how related resources may need to be focused to address General plan policies.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Other than the cost of preparation, there is no anticipated financial impact to the City as a result of submitting this report. Preparation of the annual General Pian Report is jn unfunded state mandate.
