October 2022
1 Executive Summary
The City of Cloverdale requested that the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center at University of California, Berkeley conduct a Complete Streets Safety Assessment (CSSA) study. A team of two bicycle and pedestrian safety experts conducted the CSSA for Cloverdale on May 19, 2022 and prepared this report. The objectives of the CSSA are to improve safety and accessibility for all people traveling in the City of Cloverdale.

The City of Cloverdale, located in Sonoma County, is home to approximately 9,172 residents. Based on the 2019 California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) safety rankings of California cities, Cloverdale ranked 30th out of 74 California cities in the same population group for the number of pedestrian collisions (with 1st being the worst) and 25th for bicycle collisions. Chapter 2 provides an overview of collision data for the City.

The remainder of this report presents the findings and suggestions for potential improvement derived from:
• Benchmarking analysis of the City’s existing bicycle and pedestrian programs, policies, and practices (Chapter 3)
• Field walking audit at various locations in Cloverdale (Chapter 4) Collision Data
Based on the OTS 2019 statistics, Cloverdale ranked 36 out of 74 California cities in Group F, in total fatal and injury collisions (with a ranking of “1” being the worst and “74” the best). This ranking is based on a number of weighted factors including population, daily vehicle miles traveled, collision records, collision trends, and others. For more information on OTS rankings, please refer to https://www.ots.ca.gov/media-and-research/crash-rankings-results/ Benchmarking Analysis of Policies, Programs and
Practices
To assess pedestrian safety conditions in Cloverdale, the expert team conducted a benchmarking analysis to understand how the City’s existing conditions compared with current best practices. Through a pedestrian and bicycle safety assessment survey conducted with City staff, the expert team identified the City’s pedestrian and bicycle policies, programs, and practices and categorized them into three groups:
• Key strengths (areas where the City is exceeding national best practices) • Enhancement areas (areas where the City is meeting national best practices) • Opportunity areas (areas where the City appears not to meet national best practices) While suggestions are provided for each category, cities have differing physical, demographic, and institutional characteristics that may make certain goals or policies more appropriate in some jurisdictions 12 City of Cloverdale

2 than others. Ultimately, City staff may determine where resources and efforts are best placed for meeting local development and infrastructure goals for pedestrians and bicyclists.

A discussion of the City’s pedestrian and bicycle safety policies, programs, and practices, and suggestions for potential improvement or further enhancement to the City’s existing programs and policies are presented in Chapter 3.

Walking Audit Suggestions for Potential Improvement
A walking audit was conducted at four locations, determined in coordination with City staff. Positive practices, as well as bicycle and pedestrian safety and accessibility issues were identified. The four focus areas were:

1. East 1st Street

2. Crocker Road

3. Asti Road

4. Citrus Fair Drive
Observations made during the walking audit were used to suggest policies and physical improvements intended to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety. Key findings from the Cloverdale walking audit include:
• An absence of comfortable, continuous bike and pedestrian facilities • Roadways and intersections overbuilt compared to volumes observed, leaving room for complete streets improvements
• Drivers exceeding the posted speed limits
Detailed suggestions for potential improvements are summarized graphically, corresponding to each walking audit location. A narrative description of walking audit observations and potential improvements are summarized in Chapter 4.

Many suggestions in this report are appropriate for grant applications, including Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) or Safe-Routes-to-School funding. The suggestions for potential improvements may also be used as the starting point for future safety-focused bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts to identify active transportation policies for the City and a citywide list of capital improvement projects. The suggestions presented in this report are based on limited field observations and time spent in Cloverdale by the CSSA evaluators. These suggestions, which are based on general knowledge of best practices in pedestrian and bicycling design and safety, are intended to guide City staff in making decisions for future safety improvement projects in the City, and they may not incorporate all factors which may be relevant to the pedestrian and bicycling safety issues in the City.

As this report is conceptual in nature, conditions may exist in the focus areas that were not observed and may not be compatible with suggestions in this report. Before finalizing and implementing any physical changes, City staff may choose to conduct more detailed studies or further analysis to refine or discard the suggestions in this report, if they are found to be contextually inappropriate or appear not to improve pedestrian safety or accessibility due to conditions including, but not limited to, high vehicular traffic volume or speeds, physical limitations on space or sight distance, or other potential safety concerns. 13 City of Cloverdale

2.2 Street Story
The Street Story program (https://streetstory.berkeley.edu/) is a relatively new tool developed by UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) with OTS support. Street Story is a community engagement tool that allows residents, community groups and agencies to collect information about transportation crashes, near-misses, general hazards and safe locations to travel. To promote access to the tool, SafeTREC conducts technical assistance sessions with communities and organizations on using Street Story. Street Story is free to use and publicly accessible.

Street Story features a survey where people can record travel experiences. Once a record has been entered, the information is publicly accessible on the website with maps and tables that can be downloaded.

It is suggested that City staff use this free tool to collect information from their residents for local needs assessments, transportation safety planning efforts, safety programs and project proposals. 25 City of Cloverdale

3. Benchmarking Analysis
Results and Suggestions

3.1 Benchmarking Analysis of Policies, Programs, and
Practices
To assess pedestrian and bicycle safety conditions in the City of Cloverdale, the CSSA team first conducted a
benchmarking survey to understand how the City’s existing conditions compared to current national best practices
including consistency with the Safe System approach as
shown here. Through a holistic view of first anticipating human mistakes and keeping impact energy levels on the
human body at tolerable levels, the Safe System approach aims to eliminate fatal and serious injuries for all road users1
. Responses were analyzed with a benchmarking
matrix, as shown in Table 3-1, which lists the
benchmarking topics that fall under the following
categories:
• Enhancing Safety through Accessibility
• Policies and Programs
• Safety Implementation Plans and Policies
• Safety Data Collection and Assessment
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Network Planning and Design
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Support Programs
The CSSA team also reviewed the City’s website and relevant documents. Through a pedestrian and bicycle safety assessment interview conducted with City’s staff, the CSSA team identified the City’s pedestrian and bicycle policies, programs, and practices and categorized these into three groups:
• Key strengths (areas where the City is exceeding national best practices) • Enhancement areas (areas where the City is meeting national best practices) • Opportunity areas (areas where the City appears not to meet national best practices) 1 https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/zerodeaths/docs/FHWA_SafeSystem_Brochure_V9_508_200717.pd f

16 While suggestions are provided for each category, cities have differing physical, demographic, and institutional characteristics that may make certain goals or policies more appropriate in some jurisdictions than others. Ultimately, the City’s staff may determine where resources and efforts are best placed for meeting local development and infrastructure goals for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Based on the City staff’s responses to the questionnaire, each topic receives one of those three ratings.

This analysis shares information on current national best practices and how the City compares.

The items in Table 3-1 are further elaborated in the following sections, which provide a description for each benchmarking topic. The topics incorporate the Safe System elements (Safe Road Users, Safe Vehicles, Safe Speeds, Safe Roads, and Post-Crash Care) while also incorporating best practices related to access and comfort for people walking and biking. Suggestions for better aligning with best practice benchmarks are also noted; the City could consider implementing as they determine is appropriate.

Implementation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements (Opportunity) Implementation of ADA improvements is key to making walking accessible and safe for everyone, regardless of ability or age.

The City has minimal design guidelines and practices related to ADA requirements.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Continue adding ADA ramps at intersections that currently lack them and upgrade non-complaint ramps
• Develop an ADA improvement program for items such as dual curb ramps, truncated domes, and audible pedestrian signals that applies consistent treatments. The program may provide an inventory, prioritization plan, and funding source for such improvements.

ADA Transition Plan for Streets and Sidewalks (Enhancement) ADA Transition Plans identify gaps and issues in the City/County’s current ADA infrastructure, prioritize projects for implementation, and set forth the process for bringing public facilities into compliance with ADA regulations. Transition Plans typically a range of locations, such as public buildings, sidewalks, ramps, and other pedestrian facilities. Some cities also have ADA Coordinators, who are responsible for administering the Plan and reviewing projects for accessibility considerations.

The City has a partial or outdated ADA transition plan or an ADA coordinator.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Consider prioritizing sub-areas within the City/County that exhibit greatest pedestrian activity. • Expand the ADA Transition Plan to include the public right-of-way, particularly the downtown area, other priority development areas, bus stops, and schools. 34 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment

24 • Consider having a part-time, trained ADA coordinator to review projects for accessibility and implement the ADA Transition Plan.
• Provide ADA standards and best practice training for engineering staff at all levels.

Ensure Safety for All Users is Prioritized, and Accessibility Maintained, During Construction and Road Maintenance Projects (Opportunity)
It is vital to ensure that dedicated space is maintained for vulnerable users during construction and road maintenance projects.

The City has no Construction Management Plan (CMP) guidelines and has practices related to the installation of ADA improvements such as audible pedestrian signals, directional curb ramps, and highcontrast truncated domes.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Create a policy that details how to maintain accessibility and provide designated space for pedestrians and bicyclists through a Construction Management Plan (CMP) • Cities that have created a CMP include:
o http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/pwa/documents/memorandum/oak062315.p df
Roadway Safety Coordinator (Opportunity)
A roadway safety coordinator provides guidance for pedestrian/bicycle planning efforts and oversees implementation of programs and helps with capacity building of staff. In a sampling of pedestrianoriented California cities, a common denominator among cities (with a population over 100,000) is a fulltime pedestrian/bicycle coordinator.

The City does not have a roadway safety coordinator.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Include dedicated time for the pedestrian and bicycle staff person to write grants for both capital projects and ongoing funding for walking and biking related programs and optics as well as to liaison with local non-profit, advocacy groups, and schools.

Formal Advisory Committee (Enhancement)
Advisory committees serve as important sounding boards for new policies, programs, and practices.

Responding to public concerns through public feedback mechanisms represents a more proactive and inclusive approach to bicycle and pedestrian safety compared to a conventional approach of reacting to crashes.

The City has an ad-hoc Transportation Advisory Committee or one not guided by a charter or mission that specifically includes safety of vulnerable road users. Note: City’s Planning Commission may act as Transportation Advisory Committee. The City also has a formal Public Works and facilities sub committees that reviews and addresses bicycle and pedestrian issues. 35 City of Cloverdale

25 Equitable Community Engagement Strategy that Includes Community Based Organization (CBO) Involvement (Enhancement)
Having multiple touch points with the community creates transparency and open lines of communication between the City staff, residents, and businesses. Different kinds of formats and venues for public involvement and feedback allows for broader participation from the community. Consideration of local demographics (e.g. languages spoken) and the easiest formats for people to participate (e.g. online, in person but in the course of their daily activities, or at City-organized meetings) are important for meaningful and productive community dialogue.

Community engagement is an on-going process and does not only happen during the duration of the project, but also leading up to and after the project is completed.

The City has an equitable public outreach strategy, but formal community engagement events happen on a project-by project basis and/or without CBO partnerships.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Add “safety” or bicycle and pedestrian specific issues as the “work type” when people place a pin in 311 for easy coding and understanding of issues.
• Provide quarterly or annual updates to the community on the “state of walking and biking”, including recently completed projects, anticipated timeline for upcoming projects, and what the City plans to fund.
• Provide notices and interpretation in the most commonly spoken languages. • Agencies that have an equitable community engagement strategy:

Traffic Calming or Speed Management Program (Opportunity) Traffic calming programs and policies set forth a consensus threshold on neighborhood requests and approvals, as well as standard treatments and criteria.

The City explores traffic calming features other than speed humps.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Increase the amount of dedicated funding available for traffic calming each year. • Expand the City’s traffic calming toolbox to include other tools, such as raised crosswalks, raised intersections, chicanes, and traffic diverters. The City should review their speed management program annually alongside the CIP project list to identify major arterials and neighborhood corridors to include proactive speed management.
• Expand the City’s practices to include proactive traffic calming measures instead of only responding to community requests. The City could consider allocating a portion of funding to 36 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
26 proactive traffic calming, such as on bicycle boulevard streets or safe routes to schools, and then allocate the remaining funding to react to specific community requests. • Refer to the following resources for traffic calming best practices:

(https://www.danville.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/139/NTMP-Guidelines-Booklet-PDF) – Neighborhood Traffic Management Program from the City of Anaheim (https://www.anaheim.net/2841/NTMP3)
– ITE Technical Resources – Traffic Calming Measures:
(https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/traffic-calming/traffic-calming-measures/) Speed Limit Settings (Opportunity)
Agencies should regularly survey speeds and identify locations with high deviation from target speeds.

Local municipalities use best practices for speed management from AB 43 to lower speed limits.

Implementing lower speed limits is done using a consistent approach that prioritizes areas with historic under investment.

The City reviews data only in response to reported concerns.

27 • Install traffic calming measures, signal coordination, and similar tools to maintain slower speeds appropriate for an urban community, particularly on streets that will be reviewed in the next speed survey.
• After complete streets improvement and other safety improvements are installed, conduct off-cycle speed surveys to review the speed limit and see if it needs to be reduced based on the improvements. • Consider pedestrian volumes and known complete streets safety issues when setting speed limits and employ traffic calming strategies in locations where speed surveys suggest traffic speeds are too high for pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
• Ensure complete streets design standards have appropriate target design speeds for urban areas and do not contribute to a routine need for traffic calming. • Consider the use of 15 MPH school zones.
• Additional information on AB 43 can be found here:

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs encourage children to safely walk or bicycle to school. The Marin County Bicycle Coalition was an early champion of the concept, which has spread nationally (refer to best practices at www.saferoutestoschools.org). SRTS programs are important both for increasing physical activity (and reducing childhood obesity) and for reducing morning traffic associated with school drop-off (as much as 30% of morning peak hour traffic).

The City has obtained funding for recent projects but has no community-wide Safe Routes to Schools program.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Form an ongoing steering committee for the program (or each school) comprised of City staff, school district staff, PTA leaders, and other stakeholders that meets regularly to monitor efforts and identify new opportunities.
• Consider a safe route to school plan for all schools that is integrated with other policies and programs to conduct walk audits, identify recommended safety improvements, and secure funding for those improvements.

Systemic Signalized and Unsignalized Intersection Enhancements (Opportunity) The City does not routinely implement proven safety countermeasures, such as Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPI), protected left turns, roundabouts, medians, countdown signals, etc. at signalized intersections.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
38 City of Cloverdale

28 • Develop a City-wide crosswalk policy for the installation, removal, and enhancement of crosswalks at controlled and uncontrolled location. Ensure that it is consistent with best practices and recent research. This includes removing crosswalks only as a last resort and providing midblock crossings where they serve pedestrian desire lines.
• Consider developing a treatment selection “tool” to assist staff with the identification of applicable treatments in a given context.
• When crosswalk enhancements are identified, add them to a prioritized list that will be upgraded over time as funding is available.

Safety-focused Curbside Management (Opportunity)
Shared mobility services are transportation services – typically offered by private companies – that offer ride-hail services (e.g. Lyft or Uber) for both solo and pooled trips, bike share, and scooter share. Policies for shared mobility services can allow agencies to encourage, prohibit, or direct how they want shared mobility to work in their agency. They can allow for curb space management, clear organization of sidewalk space, and encourage (or discourage) private vendors to come to the City. Curb space management is a practice that requires curb access to be planned, designed, operated, and maintained to enable curb utilization with safe, convenient, and multimodal access for all transportation users and provides driver education programs for fleet drivers.

The City has no curbside management program or policies in place.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Adopt a curb management plan to designate how the City will prioritize and proactive plan for curb uses (e.g. parking, passenger loading, commercial loading, ADA loading and parking, bicycle parking, bus-only lanes) and to make sure that the curb has the highest and best use of space. • Consider micro-mobility policies (e.g. permitting, enforcement) in place to prioritize pedestrian and bicyclist safety and keep the sidewalk organized and usable for people of all abilities. 39 City of Cloverdale

• Create a micromobility policy and implement speed regulators in geofenced locations • NACTO Resources include:
• https://nacto.org/wpcontent/uploads/2019/09/NACTO_Shared_Micromobility_Guidelines_Web.pdf Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Readiness (Opportunity) As CAV technology is deployed, strategies and readiness to discuss the interface between technology and human road users, the role of smart infrastructure, and the need for physical separation of AVs and vulnerable road users.

The City has no policy around C/AV readiness.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Create a policy that strategizes the oncoming challenges posed by CAV technology • FHWA Resources include:
o https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/otps/policyanalysis.cfm Heavy Vehicle Fleets and Truck Routing (Opportunity)
As the conversation around heavy vehicle fleets and truck routings are changing, local jurisdictions must be prepared to identify incorporation of these fleets along with funding. Identifying dedicated routes or boundaries within City boundaries allows for parallel routes of pedestrian and bicycle corridors.

The City has no policy around future fleets and truck routing. 40 City of Cloverdale

30 Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Create a policy that identifies future fleet incorporating, funding, and dedicated routes for daily use Public Advertisements Supporting Safety Culture (Opportunity) Culturally relevant and accessible education campaigns and outreach should occur regularly and on various platforms
The City does not implement culturally relevant and accessible education campaigns.

Additional resources on successful safety culture campaigns can be found below:
• Stick to the Limits San Francisco: https://www.sticktothelimitsf.org/ Adopted Safety Plan (Opportunity)
A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) or Caltrans-approved safety report identifies dedicated, annual funding stream for bicycle and pedestrian projects within underserved communities. Bicycle and pedestrian projects can also be integrated in the other work that the City does, including repaving and other routine maintenance of the roadway network.

The City does not have an LRSP or other Caltrans-approved safety plan. The City is moderately successful in obtaining grant funding or has trouble spending funds when given grants, or unable to secure grants.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Partner with other agencies and continue applying for grant funding for both infrastructure and noninfrastructure projects. • Integrate bicycle and pedestrian projects into the site plan review process for new development. • Secure additional funding for repaving projects to allow for “quick build” projects and other bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements to be integrated into those projects. • Establish a dedicated funding source for pedestrian and bicycle projects.

Safe System Policy
A Safe System policy with redundancy built in for transportation projects includes all users and modes, affects new construction and maintenance, considers local context, and provides guidance for implementation.

The City does not have a Safe System Policy.

Collection of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Volumes (Opportunity) Pedestrian and bicyclist volume data, along with a GIS database, is important for understand where people walk and bike. This establishes baseline data prior to project implementation and can help prioritize projects, develop crash rates, and determine appropriate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. 41 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
31 The database helps to identify patterns and needs of underserved communities in local jurisdictions policies and programs.

The City does not collect pedestrian and bicycle volumes.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Routinely collect pedestrian and bicycle volumes by requiring them to be counted in conjunction with manual intersection turning movement counts.
https://mtc.ca.gov/sites/default/files/4_AOC_Tech_Transfer_Seminar_Banner_06032013.pdf • Geocode pedestrian volume data with GIS software along with other data such as pedestrian control devices and crashes to analyze data for trends or hotspots related to pedestrian safety.

Inventory of Bikeways, Parking, Informal Pathways, and Key Bicycle Opportunity Areas (Enhancement)
The City has a partial, static inventory of missing facilities and opportunity areas through Bike, Pedestrian, or Active Transportation Plans.

Suggestions for Potential Improvement
• Migrate the inventory of bikeways, bike parking, and future bike improvements into a GIS format for quick mapping and sharing.
• Identify a staff person responsible for maintaining the GIS data set.

Inventory of Sidewalks, Informal Pathways, and Key Pedestrian Opportunity Areas (Opportunity) A GIS-based sidewalk inventory enables project identification and prioritization, as well as project coordination with new development, roadway resurfacing, and so on. This data set can be available on the City’s website for knowledge sharing with the public as well as agencies.

The City does not have an inventory of missing sidewalks, crosswalks, informal pathways, or pedestrian opportunity areas
Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Create a City/County wide inventory of existing and missing sidewalks, informal pathways and key pedestrian opportunity areas in GIS.
• Consider establishing a program to work with property owners to repair damaged sidewalks outside their property. This can be a condition for the sale of the property.

Traffic Control Audit (Signs, Markings, and Signals) (Opportunity) Cities have a wide variety of traffic control devices that regulate how bicyclist and pedestrians should use the street and interact safely with drivers. However, some cities do not have inventories how, when, and where this is installed. Creating a database of this information allows the City’s staff to know where infrastructure may be out of date or in needed of updates. For example, countdown signals are important pedestrian safety countermeasure. The 2012 California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) requires the installation of countdown pedestrian signals for all new signals. Likewise, the CA 42 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
32 MUTCD also requires installation of bike detection at all actuated signals. Bike detection is a basic building block of the bike network to make sure that bikes can trigger the traffic signal. Inventorying bike detection and countdown signals allows the City’s staff to approach safety from a systems perspective and develop projects to close gaps in biking and walking infrastructure over time.

The City does not have a GIS-based inventory of signs, markings, countermeasures and signals.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Develop a City or County wide crosswalk inventory in GIS and maintain it over time. This would allow for a systemic safety approach to enhancing crosswalks, and allow the City to prioritize all crosswalk enhancement projects City or County wide for implementation over time and as money is available.
• Ensure that locations with pedestrian desire lines have safe crosswalks. An updated crosswalk policy can help determine the appropriate crossing treatment at uncontrolled locations without marked crosswalks.
• Include maintenance records within the GIS database inventory of signs, markings and signals. • Develop a proactive monitoring program for ensuring the quality and proper functioning of traffic control devices.

Crash History and Crash Reporting Practices
Safety is typically approach through both proactive and reactive measures. Identifying and responding to crash patterns on a regular basis and in real time is an important reactive approach to bicycle and pedestrian safety, which may be combined with other proactive measures. This is the traditional way most cities have approached safety. However, many are now looking to proactive safety to address safety issues on a system wide basis. This is often paired with a policy goal of getting to zero fatality or severe injury crash (commonly referred to as “Vision Zero”).

The City reviews data only following fatalities or other high-profile incidents and uses local data from Police Services or similar (not TIMS/SWITRS).

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Adopt a data driven systemic safety approach, which would include a systems approach to identifying, prioritizing, and ultimately implementing safety countermeasure and/or a formal commitment to Vision Zero.
• Work with elected officials and department heads to adopt a Vision Zero policy formally stating the City’s commitment to reducing the number of traffic-related fatalities and severe injuries to zero.
• Additionally, with sufficient pedestrian volume data, the City could prioritize crash locations based on crash rates (i.e., crashes/daily pedestrian volume), a practice that results in a more complete safety needs assessment. Treatments could then be identified for each location and programmatic funding allocated in the City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP). 43 City of Cloverdale

33 – The City of Sacramento’s Pedestrian Master Plan includes a section on how to prioritize locations based on crash rates:
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/transportation/engineering/publications.html Surrogate Safety Measures for Proactive Monitoring (Opportunity) Innovative data collection techniques such as hard breaking, speed, and near miss data can provide additional insights into crashes. Community feedback tools such as Street Story can assist local jurisdictions to collect data. https://safetrec.berkeley.edu/tools/street-story-platform-communityengagement The City does not use surrogate safety measures as part of data collection and assessment process.

Complete Streets Policy (Opportunity)
Complete Streets Policies are formal statements showing a City’s commitment to planning and designing for all modes of travel and travelers of all ages and abilities.

City of Cloverdale does not have a Complete Streets Policy in place.

44 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
34 The City has a Pedestrian and/or Bicycle Master Plan but it may be outdated and/or no recent projects from the Plan have been completed.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Implement the low-hanging projects in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and seek grant funding for major projects
• Pursue additional funding opportunities for programs identified by the Plan. • Provide regular updates to the Plan, including bicycle and pedestrian facilities and design guidelines that address the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities • Develop high injury networks for walking and biking to identify routes with the highest incidences of fatal and severe injuries for pedestrians and bicyclists. This will create a systematic safety analysis that can help in prioritizing limited resources. • Consider identifying existing and missing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure for safety improvement.

Existing Bike Network (Enhancement)
Innovative features such as protected bikeways, bike boulevards, and protected intersections citywide or countywide can decrease the level of traffic stress experienced by bicyclists, make biking more comfortable, and – in so doing - appeal to a wide range of bicyclists. Level of traffic stress refers to the level of comfort or discomfort a bicyclist might experience. Research conducted by the Mineta Institute in San Jose establishes levels of traffic stress on a scale for 1 to 4 with LTS 1 at the level that most children can tolerate and LTS 4 at the level characterized by “strong and fearless” cyclists (see:
http://transweb.sjsu.edu/project/1005.html). A bicycle network that is attractive to the majority of the population would have low stress and high connectivity.

The City’s existing bike network primarily includes Class I, II, and III facilities. There are gaps within the bike network and facilities do not accommodate all users.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Continue to identify funding sources and implement the proposed projects identified in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
• Develop design standards for bike boulevards, trails, paths, and landscaping for bicycle network. • Create a GIS data for existing bike network to identify gaps and opportunities for improvements.

Existing Pedestrian Facilities (Enhancement)
The City has the following pedestrian components: narrow sidewalks or sidewalk gaps, crosswalks with few or no safety enhancements, crosswalks are minimal, and roadways.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
45 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
35 • Continue to identify funding sources and implement the proposed projects identified in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
• Create a GIS database for existing pedestrian infrastructure to identify gaps, inventory assets, and create opportunities for systemic safety analysis of all crosswalks.

Bike and Pedestrian Network Implementation Practices (Opportunity) Considering the safety and comfort of people walking and biking leads to better projects that can encourage new walking and biking trips and enhance safety for active transportation users today and in the future.

Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) was originally developed by researchers at the Mineta Transportation Institute. LTS assesses the comfort and connectivity of bicycle networks.

In the City, treatments are implemented where they fit within the right-of-way and vehicle LOS is not affected and implemented on a project-by-project basis.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Prioritize bicycle projects to align with roadway resurfacing and projects that are near school sites. • Identify pedestrian priority areas and have a policy in place around crosswalk spacing and design enhancements
• Secure enough funding for repaving and other complete streets projects to allow for installation of protected bike and pedestrian facilities and intersection improvements. • Prioritize Use LTS to strategically implement bikeways and traffic calming treatments that would improve LTS of existing bikeways.

Design Guidelines and Standards (Enhancement)
Design guidelines and development standards create a clear set of documents that guide how all transportation improvements should be installed City wide. As a result, they can create a consistent, highquality biking and walking experience.

In Cloverdale, local standards reference national best practices, but are static or out of date, with minimal customized design policies for pedestrian and bicycle accommodations. The City considers reducing vehicle speeds, intersection safety, driver intrusion into bicycle facility, narrowing vehicle travel lanes, improving the usability of the network by bicyclists aged 8 to 80, and improving access to key destinations when designing bicycle facilities.

The City uses AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, AASHTO Guide for the Planning, Design, and Operation of Pedestrian Facilities, FHWA Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide, Caltrans DIB 89 Class IV Bikeway Guidance, and CA MUTCD and the Highway Design Manual when making design decisions.

The quality of a roadway surface along bikeways is an important consideration when choosing to bike.

Rough surface in a bike lane creates an uncomfortable bicycling experience and may also pose safety hazards.

The City’s roadway surface conditions are poor on some bicycle facilities and maintenance is not prioritized for bicycle facilities.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Prioritize maintenance of roadways where bicycle facilities are present, particularly for closing gaps in the bikeway network or where improved pavement quality is needed on popular bicycle routes.
• Prioritize debris removal on roadways where bicycle facilities are present. • Assess the needs for new and enhanced crosswalks and curb ramps with each repaving project.

Include consideration of lane reductions and quick build projects such as paint and plastic median refuges and bulb outs; high-visibility crosswalks; and advanced yield markings.

Attention to Bicycle and Pedestrian Crossing Barriers (Opportunity) Crossing barriers - such as railroads, freeways, and major arterials - may discourage or even prohibit bicycle access and are often associated with vehicle-bicycle crashes. Large intersections and interchanges and uncontrolled crossings can often deter bicyclists due to high speeds, high number of conflict points with 47 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
37 vehicles, and high level of exposure. Identifying and removing barriers and preventing new barriers is essential for improving bicyclist safety and access. Crossing barriers also discourage or even prohibit pedestrian access and can create safety challenges for pedestrians. These can be similar to the biking barriers or present additional challenges.

In the City, bike treatments are not installed at intersections or through interchanges.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Use green routinely to highlight conflict zones at large intersection and interchanges. See Oakland’s bicycle lane striping guidance for more information:
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/government/o/PWA/o/EC/s/BicycleandPedestrianProgram/OAK02 4653
• To slow speeds at critical intersections, use smaller corner radii using small design vehicles appropriate for urban areas and updated standard plans to reflect this. • Review design of slip/trap-right lanes at intersections and implement improvements. • Implement best practice guidance on bicycle accommodation through interchanges and expressways, as appropriate, using the ITE’s Recommended Practice: Guidelines to Accommodate Bicyclist and Pedestrians at Interchanges plus consideration of protected bike lane design. • Identify and create an inventory of pedestrian barriers with targeted recommendations for phased improvements.
• Consider pedestrian barriers and needs in doing bicycle barriers assessment.

Intersection Control Evaluation (Key Strength)
Providing alternative traffic controls such as roundabouts, signals, and stop signs may improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by reducing speeds and controlling vehicle conflicts. Installing bicycling signals and limiting stop signs on bicycle routes may enhance bicycle mobility and safety. The CA MUTCD defines warrants for installing signals and stop signs.

The City uses intersection control evaluations to assess alternative traffic control performance and select appropriate control based on desired performance.

The City’s actuated signalized intersections are designed to include bicyclist detection on all actuated phases and clearly marked bicycle-vehicle conflict zones on approaches.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Develop specific signal and stop sign warrants that are pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.

Sidewalk Furniture or Other Sidewalk Zone Policies
Street furniture encourages walking by accommodating pedestrians with benches to rest along the route or wait for transit; trash receptacles to maintain a clean environment; street trees for shade, and so on.

Uniform street furniture requirements also enhance the design of the pedestrian realm and may improve economic vitality.

• Adopt a Street Furniture Ordinance to include locations and furniture amenities other than those associated with transit stops, as appropriate.

Street Tree Requirements (Opportunity)
Street trees enhance the pedestrian environment by providing shade and a buffer from vehicles, which increase pedestrian safety. Street trees may also enhance property values, especially in residential neighborhoods. However, street trees, when improperly selected, planted, or maintained, may cause damage to adjacent public utilities.

The City does not have a street tree ordinance.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Develop a Street Tree Ordinance to provide guidance on permissible tree types and permitting requirements, also specifying a requirement for new trees plantings associated with development projects.

Bicycling Supportive Amenities and Wayfinding (Enhancement Opportunity) In addition to designating roadway or paths in a bicycle network, supportive amenities (including parking, water fountains, and maintenance stations) can encourage bicycling. Wayfinding can both encourage bicycling and enhance safety by navigating cyclists to facilities that have been enhanced for bicyclist use or to local retail opportunities for economic growth.

In the City, some bicycle supportive amenities are found in key areas.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Create and deploy a bicycle wayfinding strategy City/County wide as recommended in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, as well as a Biking Guide.
• Develop a Biking Guide that includes a bike map and bicycle locker and rack locations.

Bicycle Parking Requirements (Opportunity)
Safe and convenient bicycle parking is essential for encouraging bicycle travel (especially in-lieu of vehicle travel). Bicycle parking can also facilitate last-mile connections between two modes, such as bicycle parking at a transit station. To be effective, bicycle parking needs to be visible and secure and have enough capacity to accommodate bicycle demand, both long-term and short-term. Long-term and short-term parking can be implemented through a bicycle parking ordinance as in the City of Oakland (see details at
http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/o/EC/s/BicycleandPedestrianProgram/OAK024596).

The City has no bike parking ordinance or program in place.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:

39 • Implement short-term and long-term, secured bicycle parking at all new development, consistent with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and the APBP Bicycle Parking Guidelines, 2nd edition. • Site bicycle racks to be convenient for bicyclists, out of the way of pedestrians, and with good visibility for security, consistent with the APBP Bicycle Parking Guidelines, 2nd edition. • Consider implementation of “branded” racks for the City/County (with a unique design or City/County’s symbol).

Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Education Program (Opportunity) Engineering treatments are often not enough on their own to realize full safety benefits associated with the treatment. Safety education programs complement engineering treatments and increase compliance.

Education campaigns target drivers and people of all ages, especially school-age children where safe walking and biking habits may be instilled as lifelong lessons.

The City does not have pedestrian and bicycle safety education programs.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Conduct a formal education campaign targeting people driving, walking, and biking about street safety. This includes: advertisements on buses and bus shelters, an in-school curriculum, community school courses, public service announcements, and many other strategies. Consider a focus on speed and safe driving.

Enforcement (Opportunity)
Enforcement of pedestrian and bicycle right-of-way laws and speed limits is an important complement to engineering treatments and education programs.

In Cloverdale, enforcement is not data-driven or Police Department does not have any Traffic Safety Officer.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Implement sustained pedestrian safety enforcement efforts and involve the media. Use enforcement as an opportunity for education by distributing pedestrian safety pamphlets in-lieu of, or in addition to, citations. The Miami-Dade Pedestrian Safety Demonstration Project provides a model for the role of media in the sustained effectiveness of enforcement. Information is available at:
http://www.miamidade.gov/MPO/docs/MPO_ped_safety_demo_eval_report_200806.pdf. • Train officers in pedestrian safety enforcement principles. The Madison, Wisconsin Department of Transportation has developed a DVD in collaboration with the Madison Police Department to train traffic officers in pedestrian and bicycle issues (for more information see http://www.walkinginfo.org/library/details.cfm?id=2865). The Bicycle Transportation Alliance in Portland, Oregon offers Pedestrian Safety Enforcement Training (for more information on this fivehour course see:
http://www.bta4bikes.org/at_work/pedestriangrants.php).

Radar gun checkout programs are available in Albany, Pleasanton, and Thousand Oaks, California, among other cities (for more information on the Pleasanton program see: http://www.sfgate.com/cgibin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/04/07/MNG8N6 /04/07/MNG8N6 1MGG1.DTL).

Pedestrian Walking Audit Program (Opportunity)
Walking audits provide an interactive opportunity to receive feedback from key stakeholders about the study area and to discuss the feasibility of potential solutions. They can be led by City staff, advocacy groups, neighborhood groups, or consultants.

The City does not have a pedestrian safety program and has not conducted a walking audit.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Include regular walking audits in City/County wide pedestrian safety program, based on the suggestions of this CSSA. This effort may complement other “green” or health-oriented programs within the City.

Bicycling Safety Audit Program (Opportunity)
When City staff and key stakeholders ride along study corridors and experience key route and crossing challenges and best practices, consensus is more readily reached on a vision and action plan for safety enhancements.

The City does not have bicycling safety audit programs.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Include regular bicycling audits in the City/County wide bicycle safety programs. Encourage interdepartmental participation.
• Routinely conduct bicycle safety audits of key corridors throughout the City/County, including those with recent improvements, those with heavy bicycle demand, and those with high crash rates. • Collaborate with schools on projects beyond the school district boundaries.

General Plan: Provision for Pedestrian and Bicycle Nodes (Opportunity) Planning principles contained in a City’s General Plan can provide an important policy context for developing pedestrian-oriented, walkable areas. Transit-oriented development, higher densities, and mixed uses are important planning tools for pedestrian-oriented areas. The General Plan identifies pedestrian priority areas, which are zones in which high volumes of pedestrian traffic are encouraged and accommodated along the sidewalk.

In the City’s General Plan, pedestrian and bicycle nodes are not identified.

Suggestion for Potential Enhancement
51 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
41 • Create an overlay district for pedestrian priority areas with special pedestrian-oriented guidelines, such as relaxing auto Level of Service standards and prioritizing pedestrian improvements.

Prioritize sidewalk improvement and completion projects in these nodes. • Utilize vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for future transportation impact analysis.

General Plan: Safety Element (Opportunity)
SB 99 and AB 747 are legislation around safety evacuation during natural disasters. Local jurisdictions should identify creative solutions on how to evacuate residents safely and efficiently while maintaining and implementing low stress pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

In the City’s General Plan, the Safety Element does not mention pedestrian and bicycle facilities on evacuation routes
Bike Ordinances (Sidewalk Riding) (Opportunity)
Cloverdale ordinances mandate that bikes are not allowed on sidewalks under any circumstances.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Consider an optional helmet ordinance for adults.
• Consider allowing for context-specific flexibility in sidewalk riding policies and enforcement Vehicle Mikes Traveled (VMT) Mitigation Strategies (Opportunity) A VMT Mitigation Strategy should use the most recent guidance from CAPCOA to measure potential impacts of pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

The City does not use CAPCOA mitigation strategies.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• CAPCOA Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity:
https://www.caleemod.com/documents/handbook/full_handbook.pdf General Plan: Densities and Mixed-Use Zones (Opportunity) Planning principles contained in a City’s General Plan can provide an important policy context for developing bicycle-oriented and walkable areas. Transit-oriented development, higher densities, and mixed uses are important planning tools for pedestrian-oriented areas.

The City has low densities with separate uses; transportation impact analysis relies on LOS.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Utilize vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for future transportation impact analysis. • Consider allowing moderate to high densities in the downtown and mixed-use zones as well progressive parking policies, such as shared parking and demand-based pricing. 52 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
42 • Consider multi-modal trade-offs in the transportation impact analysis for new development, so that the safety and needs of people walking and biking is weighed heavily, and vehicular delay is not the primary performance measure.
• Ensure that wide sidewalks, high quality, protected bike lanes, and intersection safety improvements are included with all new development projects, particularly where densities are higher
• Strongly weigh walking and biking performance measures as well as safety metrics in determining appropriate intersection improvements and street design.

Specific Plans, Overlay Zones, and Other Area Plans (Opportunity) Plans do not address bicyclist or pedestrian needs or do not exist.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Emphasize bicyclist and pedestrian-oriented design, walkability, and/or placemaking in all new specific plans, overlay zones, and other area plans.

Historic Sites (Opportunity)
Historic walking routes or bike trails, such as the famous Freedom Trail in Boston, encourage active transportation and enhance economic vitality.

No plan is in place, and little consideration is given for pedestrian and bicycle access in historic areas.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Continue to implement the goals, policies and programs that support walking trips included in the Historic Preservation and Community Design Element of the General Plan to showcase natural or local sites of interest, and link key features of the City. Maps of the tour route and historic documentation materials could be made available online or as a mobile app in addition to wayfinding signs, maps, and plaques could also be provided throughout the City. Consider other areas of the City/County for walking tours and historic signs. • Consider upgrading History Walk signs with larger text to improve legibility and wayfinding. 53 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
43 Economic Vitality (Key Strength)
Improving bicycle and pedestrian safety and
walkability can enhance economic vitality.

Similarly, enhancing economic vitality through
innovative funding options such as Business
Improvement Districts (BIDs), parking
management, and facade improvement
programs can lead to more active areas and
encourage walking and bicycling.

The City has a business improvement district,
façade improvement program, or downtown
parking policies.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Activate the built environment in business areas through BIDs and façade improvement programs. • Use wayfinding, walking routes, and events to direct pedestrians to commercial areas throughout the area.
• Install bicycle parking in commercial areas and provide safe, comfortable bike facilities in commercial areas to make it convenient and fun to get to local businesses.

Post-Crash Care (Opportunity)
An agency’s adopted LRSP or Caltrans-approved Safety Plan should include resources for the agency to implement identified countermeasure for medical rehabilitation, on-going advocacy group engagement, and resources for the adjudication process to ensure offenders receive proper sentencing and treatment.

The adopted LRSP or Caltrans-approved Safety Plan does not include action items and implementation strategies surrounding post-crash care.

Proactive Approach to Institutional Coordination (Opportunity) Institutional coordination associated with multiple agencies and advocacy groups is a critical part of the work of any municipality. Non-local control of right-of-way and differing policies regarding pedestrian and bicyclist accommodation can make the work complex.

Projects requiring cross-jurisdictional coordination are rarely coordinated and implemented at the City.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement
• Work with the local school districts to establish a policy on neighborhood-sized and oriented schools as part of a Safe Routes to School policy.
• Work with the school districts to establish suggested walking routes and address potential barriers to pedestrian or bicycle access.

Coordination with Emergency Response (Enhancement)
Sample store facades
54 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
44 Emergency response requires special roadway design considerations that sometimes conflict with bicycle and pedestrian treatments. One example is the design of turning radii at intersections. Bicyclists and pedestrians benefit from the reduced vehicle speeds of smaller radii, but larger vehicles, such as fire trucks, have more difficulty performing the turn within the smaller space. These conflicts require consensus building between the City and the respective departments. Consensus building could include pilot testing of alternative treatments, such as a model traffic circle in an open field.

In the City, emergency response is involved in some aspects of bicycle/pedestrian facility planning and design.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Include the Fire Department early in the process as a stakeholder in the Williams Street and Bancroft Street separated bikeway projects to ensure access needs are accommodated. • Balance the trade-off between traffic calming safety treatments such as roundabouts or partial street closures and longer emergency response times.
• Encourage emergency and transit responders to participate in test runs of roadway designs that are aimed to reduce speed and improve bicycling access.
• Implement policies providing information on tragic incident management Coordination with Health Agencies (Opportunity)
Involving non-traditional partners such as public health agencies, pediatricians, etc., in the planning or design of pedestrian and bicycle facilities may create opportunities to be more proactive with pedestrian and bicycle safety, identify pedestrian and bicycle safety challenges and education venues, and secure funding. Additionally, under-reporting of pedestrian-vehicle and bicycle-vehicle crashes could be a problem that may be partially mitigated by involving the medical community in pedestrian and bicycle safety planning.2
In the City, health agencies are not involved in bicycle/pedestrian safety or active transportation.

Coordination with Transit Agencies (Key Strength)
Providing safe and comfortable biking and walking routes to transit stops and stations, and the ability to take bicycles on-board transit vehicles increases the likelihood of multi-modal trips.

In the City, bicycles are accommodated on all transit vehicles with overflow capacity available. The agency partners with transit providers to ensure safe and comfortable routes for biking and walking to transit stops and stations, including on roadways with both frequent bus service and bicycle facilities.

Suggestion for Potential Improvement:
• Work with transit agencies, Caltrans, and other relevant partners to improve access and safety to stations and bus stops.

Results and Suggestions

4.1 Overview
This Chapter presents the observations and project suggestions made during the walking audit conducted in the City of Cloverdale on May 19, 2022. The project suggestions are based on best practices and discussions with the participant group regarding local needs and feasibility. A glossary of the candidate treatment options is presented in Appendix A.

Walking audits are typically conducted to understand the needs, issues, and opportunities associated with walking and biking in the study area. Participants walk the corridor as a group and may come from different backgrounds: City staff across departments, community residents, and other stakeholders.

During a walking audit, positive practices are observed, and issues and opportunity areas are noted.

Observations are based on how motorists are behaving around pedestrians and bicyclists and how pedestrians and bicyclists are behaving, especially at intersections (for example, if pedestrians are crossing at unmarked locations to avoid certain intersections, why might they feel the need to do so?).

For each opportunity area, the group discusses suggested projects to address pedestrian and bicycle safety concerns. Walking audits are highly interactive, with many observations and “teachable moments” explored during the walk. They are a means of observing and learning how to “see through the eyes of the pedestrian.”
The suggested projects in this report are based on limited field observations and general knowledge of best practices in pedestrian design and safety. As this report is conceptual in nature, the City may conduct more detailed studies before finalizing and implementing any physical changes. Conditions may exist in the focus areas that were not observed and are not compatible with the suggestions in this report. City staff may conduct further analysis to refine or discard the suggested projects in this report if they are contextually inappropriate or do not improve pedestrian safety or accessibility due to conditions including, but not limited to, high vehicular traffic volume or speeds, physical limitations on space or sight distance, or other unsafe conditions.

4.2 Selection of Focus Areas
The evaluation team worked with City staff to select focus areas for the walking audits based on the following criteria:
• Demonstrated pedestrian and bicyclist safety concerns • Key commercial and residential corridors
• Areas of proposed change and potential for increased activity Four focus areas were selected for analysis:

1. East 1st Street between Cloverdale Boulevard and Asti Road 56 City of Cloverdale
Complete Streets Safety Assessment
October 2022
46 2. Crocker Road between Asti Road and Crocker Road Bridge

3. Asti Road between East 1st Street and Citrus Fair Drive

4. Citrus Fair Drive between South Cloverdale Boulevard and Asti Road The following sections present the key issues identified during the walking audit, along with suggested projects responding to the issues at each site. Focus area summary graphics, with a compilation of all project options, have been prepared.

4.3 East 1st Street
East 1st Street is designated as a collector and extends between Cloverdale Boulevard and Asti Road.

There is one lane in each direction and the speed limit is posted as 25 miles per hour along the whole corridor although the character of East 1st shifts at Main Street. West of Main Street, the lanes are narrow, sidewalks are wide with street trees, and pedestrian-scale lighting is evenly spaced. East of Main Street, the travel lanes widen, the street trees disappear, and pedestrian-scale light is replaced by auto-scale cobra head lighting. Sidewalks are still wide for one block and then narrow east of East Street. Between Mulberry Street and Asti Road, there are sidewalk gaps on both the north and south sides of East 1st Street including a gap on the north side under the US-101 overpass. Cloverdale Shuttle and Sonoma Transit have stops where East 1st Street meets Cloverdale Boulevard. There are no bike facilities along East 1st Street. Intersections are four-way stop-controlled close to downtown and side-street stop-controlled further east, including at Asti Road. Land uses along East 1st Street are primarily residential except for the one downtown block west of Main Street.

Observations
The following observations were noted during the site visit:
• Sidewalk gaps create the need to cross the road frequently or walk in the roadway for stretches.

This creates uncomfortable desire lines given the connection to the Cemetery and River Park Trail.
• Wide lanes contribute to observed speeds above 25mph. • Lighting is sparse in the vicinity of the overpass and at the intersection with Asti Road. 57 City of Cloverdale

48 Suggested Improvements
Based on observations during the site visit, the following improvements are suggested for pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle facilities at this location:
• Install new pedestrian crosswalks at East Street on all legs • Install new sidewalks to fill gaps on both the north and south side between Mulberry Street and Asti Road.
• Restrict parking between Hazelden Road to Asti Road and shift center line south to create space for a sidewalk or walkway on the north side under the overpass. • Tighten turning radius on southwest and southeast corners at East 1st Street, Crocker Road, and Asti Road as much as possible while still accommodating trucks that need to use Asti Road. • Add stop signs for eastbound East 1st Street traffic and westbound Crocker Road traffic (pending additional data collection and analysis).
• Add high-visibility crosswalks across all three legs of the East 1st Street, Crocker Road, and Asti Road intersection; continue north side sidewalk from overpass to Crocker Road pathway. • Add pedestrian-scale lighting under overpass and lighting for all modes at the East 1st, Crocker Road, and Asti Road intersection.
• Consider short- and long-term treatments to make the intersection feel less auto-centric, such as striped bulbouts, curb extensions, and median treatments • Remove railroad crossing signs to minimize confusion. • Long term: Study the feasibility of a roundabout at the intersection of East 1st Street, Crocker Road, and Asti Road using anticipated volumes from new developments along Asti Road.

4.4 Crocker Road
Crocker Road is designated as a collector and extends between Asti Road and River Road, although this study only focused on the portion between Asti Road and the Cloverdale Bridge (also known as the Crocker Bridge). There is one lane in each direction. The speed limit is posted as 25 miles per hour west of the cemetery parking lot and 35 miles per hour to the east. Between Asti Road and the cemetery parking lot, there is a walking and bicycle lane on the north side of the street protected by a raised curb.

Between the cemetery parking lot and River Park driveway, the lane is replaced with a sidewalk. This does not extend to or across the bridge, but the County is preparing to construct a pedestrian and bicycle crossing that would hang off the north side of the bridge. There is no sidewalk on the south side of the street but there is a Class II bicycle lane between Asti Road and the bridge. There is one street light in this stretch at the entrance to River Park. Crocker Road has a rural feel to it, which makes it distinct from residential East 1st Street just across Asti Road.

Observations
The following observations were noted during the site visit:
• Many drivers exceed the posted speed limits, especially when traveling westbound into town. • Even midday on a weekday, there were multiple pedestrians and bicycles using this stretch of Crocker Road, this is likely higher on weekends when recreational cyclists are most active. • There is no crosswalk across either the cemetery or River Park driveways and the sidewalk between the two is not easily navigable by wheelchairs, strollers, or other rollers. 59 City of Cloverdale

50 Suggested Improvements
Based on observations during the site visit, the following improvements are suggested for pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle facilities at this location:
• See section 4.3 recommendations for the intersection of East 1st Street, Crocker Road, and Asti Road.
• Make speed limit signs more prominent.
• Add vertical barriers and additional elements to formalize the Class I shared pedestrian and bicycle pathway
• Add pedestrian-scale lighting to north-side pathway.
• Install crosswalk across the cemetery driveway and alter the sidewalk to include a directional curb ramp and truncated domes.
• Install crosswalk across the River Park driveway to connect the existing sidewalk to the future ped and bike bridge and alter the sidewalk to include a directional curb ramp and truncated domes.

Recommendations for East 1st Street and Crocker Road are summarized in the figure below. 61 City of Cloverdale

52 4.5 Asti Road
Asti Road, today designated as a collector, is part of the Old Redwood Highway corridor. It starts at East 1st/Crocker Road and extends south beyond city limits, although this study only focused on the portion between 1st/Crocker Road and Citrus Fair Drive. There is one lane in each direction and one Class II bicycle lane in each direction, which doubles as the shoulder. The posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour.

The road curves near Citrus Fair Drive but is otherwise a straightaway with open sightlines. There is about 400 feet of sidewalk on the west side of the street between Asti Road and an unused railroad access point. The sidewalk drops off at that point and returns on the westside only as Asti Road approaches Citrus Fair Drive. There are no crosswalks at Citrus Fair Drive. There are trees on the west side of the street and no pedestrian-scale lights at any point. There are auto-scale lights at the intersections with Lake Street and at Citrus Fair Drive. Asti Road has a rural feel to it, and serves a few industrial uses via Railroad Avenue, which are served by large trucks. A 75-unit affordable housing project is proposed on the east side of Asti Road just north of Railroad Avenue. Asti Road parallels abandoned railroad tracks to the west in an otherwise unused strip of land. This rail spur extends beyond the proposed SMART terminus at the Cloverdale Depot.

Observations
The following observations were noted during the site visit:
• Asti Road is a popular route for cyclists, both recreational riders and casual riders. • Walking along the west side of the road in the shoulder can make some pedestrians uncomfortable due to the lack of buffer or protection from the roadway. Seasonal weather (hot days and cold and rainy days) makes this condition more uncomfortable. • The bike lanes/shoulder were covered in gravel debris which can create an unpleasant biking experience.
• Crossing at the Asti Road and Citrus Fair Drive intersection is uncomfortable, largely due to the long walking distances once must travel to cross. The intersection was observed to look and feel overbuilt for the traffic volumes it serves.

54 Suggested Improvements
Based on observations during the site visit, the following improvements are suggested for pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle facilities at this location:
• See section 4.3 recommendations for the intersection of East 1st Street, Crocker Road, and Asti Road.
• Add a midblock crossing at the primary pedestrian access point to the proposed affordable housing development, including advanced yield markings and other treatments per FHWA guidance for uncontrolled crossings.
• Install a Class I shared use path for bicycle and pedestrians on the west side of the road or as a rails-to-trails project. Add street trees and pedestrian-scale lighting along the pathway. • Repave shoulders and establish a regular gravel removal schedule for the Class II lanes. If not feasible to maintain a clean bike lane, alternative bicycle facilities such as Class I or Class IV should be considered.
• Add a high-visibility crosswalk across Citrus Fair Drive and extend the existing median toward the intersection to create a pedestrian refuge mid-crossing. • Add stop signs to all approaches at the Citrus Fair Drive and Asti Road intersection. • Long term: study an option to modify the intersection and its approaches to accommodate safe and comfortable walking and biking activity, which could include:
o Regrade the hill on the northwest corner of the intersections (which blocks sightlines for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians).
o Reduce lanes (via a “road diet”) to shorten crossing distances for bicyclists and pedestrians.
o Implement a roundabout for improved efficiency and safety of traffic for all modes. o Install wider sidewalks, curb extensions, and median islands for improved pedestrian circulation through and across the intersection.

56 4.6 Citrus Fair Drive
Citrus Fair Drive, which serves as Cloverdale’s primary access point to US-101, was studied between Asti Road and South Cloverdale Boulevard. There are two lanes in each direction with additional left turn lanes for the freeway on-ramps. Class II bicycle facilities (“bike lanes”) run in both directions. The posted speed limit is 40 miles per hour although design features such as 12ft lanes and a wide median lend themselves to faster speeds. There are narrow (5ft) sidewalks on both sides of the street for the entirety of the study area. Standard crosswalks are striped across all on-ramps and off-ramps and across all legs at South Cloverdale Boulevard, including relatively recently installed curb ramp improvements at all ramps.

There are very few street trees and no pedestrian-scale streetlights. There are auto-scale streetlights at the major intersections and ramps. Citrus Fair Drive and South Cloverdale Boulevard is a signalized intersection. On-ramp and off-ramp turns are uncontrolled. The Cloverdale Depot sits at the east end of Citrus Fair Drive; it is used as a park-and-ride today with proposed SMART service in the future. The only other land use directly accessible from Citrus Fair Drive is the Cloverdale RV Park.

Observations
The following observations were noted during the site visit:
• Pedestrian experience was poor due to narrow sidewalk, overgrown vegetation (especially west of overpasses), and lack of shade.
• Crosswalk paint is faded at the South Cloverdale Boulevard intersection. • The roadway seems a bit overbuilt for the volumes it carries.

57 Intersection of Citrus Fair Drive and South Cloverdale Boulevard (Looking South) Suggested Improvements
Based on those observations during the site visit, the following improvements are suggested for pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle facilities at this location:
• See section 4.5 recommendations for the intersection of Asti Road and Citrus Fair Drive. • Add green thermoplastic markings for bicycle lanes when crossing ramps and driveways consistent with applicable Caltrans design standards and guidance. • Restripe all crosswalks as high-visibility crosswalks • Add pedestrian-scale lighting and street trees on both sides and/or in the median island as recommended by a registered landscape architect
• Work with property owners to provide a direct connection between South Street and the sidewalk on the south side of Citrus Fair Drive.
• Establish a regular vegetation trimming program to keep sidewalks clear (they are too narrow to allow any overgrowth).
• Long-term: study a lane reduction (“road diet”) of one lane in each direction with left-turn pockets at the on-ramps, Class IV bike lanes, and wider sidewalks (8 ft or wider).

60 PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
Measure Description Benefits Application
Traffic Control Countermeasures
Traffic Signal or
All-Way Stop
Conventional traffic control devices with
warrants for use based on the Manual on
Uniform Control Devices (MUTCD).

Reduces pedestrianvehicle conflicts and slows
traffic speeds.

Must meet warrants based on
traffic and pedestrian
volumes; however,
exceptions are possible
based on demonstrated
pedestrian safety concerns
(collision history).

HAWK Beacon
Signal
HAWK (High Intensity Activated
Crosswalks) are pedestrian-actuated
signals that are a combination of a
beacon flasher and a traffic control
signal. When actuated, HAWK displays
a yellow (warning) indication followed by
a solid red light. During pedestrian
clearance, the driver sees a flashing red
“wig-wag” pattern until the clearance
interval has ended and the signal goes
dark.

Reduces pedestrianvehicle conflicts and slows
traffic speeds.

Useful in areas where it is
difficult for pedestrians to
find gaps in automobile
traffic to cross safely, but
where normal signal warrants
are not satisfied.

Appropriate for multi-lane
roadways.

Overhead
Flashing Beacons
Flashing amber lights are installed on
overhead signs, in advance of the
crosswalk or at the entrance to the
crosswalk.

The blinking lights during
pedestrian crossing times
increase the number of
drivers yielding for
pedestrians and reduce
pedestrian-vehicle
conflicts. This measure
can also improve
conditions on multi-lane
roadways.

Best used in places where
motorists cannot see a
traditional sign due to
topography or other barriers.

Stutter Flash
The Overhead Flashing Beacon is
enhanced by replacing the traditional
slow flashing incandescent lamps with
rapid flashing LED lamps. The beacons
may be push-button activated or
activated with pedestrian detection.

Initial studies suggest the
stutter flash is very
effective as measured by
increased driver yielding
behavior. Solar panels
reduce energy costs
associated with the
device.

Appropriate for multi-lane
roadways.

61 PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
Measure Description Benefits Application
In-Roadway
Warning Lights
Both sides of a crosswalk are lined with
pavement markers, often containing an
amber LED strobe light. The lights may
be push-button activated or activated
with pedestrian detection.

This measure provides a
dynamic visual cue and is
increasingly effective in
bad weather.

Best in locations with low
bicycle ridership, as the
raised markers present a
hazard to bicyclists. May not
be appropriate in areas with
heavy winter weather due to
high maintenance costs.

May not be appropriate for
locations with bright sunlight.

The lights may cause
confusion when pedestrians
fail to activate them and/or
when they falsely activate.

High-Visibility
Signs and
Markings
High-visibility markings include a family
of crosswalk striping styles including the
“ladder” and the “triple four.” One style,
the zebra-style crosswalk pavement
markings, were once popular in Europe,
but have been phased out because the
signal-controlled puffin is more effective
(see notes). High-visibility fluorescent
yellow green signs are made of the
approved fluorescent yellow-green color
and posted at crossings to increase the
visibility of a pedestrian crossing ahead.

FHWA recently ended its
approval process for the
experimental use of
fluorescent yellow
crosswalk markings and
found that they had no
discernible benefit over
white markings.

Beneficial in areas with high
pedestrian activity, as near
schools, and in areas where
travel speeds are high and/or
motorist visibility is low.

In-Street
Pedestrian
Crossing Signs
This measure involves posting regulatory
pedestrian signage on lane edge lines
and road centerlines. The In-Street
Pedestrian Crossing sign may be used to
remind road users of laws regarding
right of way at an unsignalized
pedestrian crossing. The legend STATE
LAW may be shown at the top of the sign
if applicable. The legends STOP FOR or
YIELD TO may be used in conjunction
with the appropriate symbol.

This measure is highly
visible to motorists and
has a positive impact on
pedestrian safety at
crosswalks.

Mid-block crosswalks,
unsignalized intersections,
low-speed areas, and twolane roadways are ideal for
this pedestrian treatment.

The STOP FOR legend shall
only be used in states where
the state law specifically
requires that a driver must
stop for a pedestrian in a
crosswalk.

Pedestrian
Crossing Flags
Square flags of various colors, which are
mounted on a stick and stored in signmounted holders on both side of the street at crossing locations; they are
carried by pedestrians while crossing a
roadway.

This measure makes
pedestrians more visible
to motorists.

Appropriate for mid-block
and uncontrolled crosswalks
with low visibility or poor
sight distance.

Measure Description Benefits Application
Advanced Yield
Lines
Standard white stop or yield limit lines
are placed in advance of marked,
uncontrolled crosswalks.

This measure increases
the pedestrian’s visibility
to motorists, reduces the
number of vehicles
encroaching on the
crosswalk, and improves
general pedestrian
conditions on multi-lane
roadways. It is also an
affordable option.

Useful in areas where
pedestrian visibility is low
and in areas with aggressive
drivers, as advance limit lines
will help prevent drivers from
encroaching on the
crosswalk. Addresses the
multiple-threat collision on
multi-lane roads.

Geometric Treatments
Pedestrian
Overpass/
Underpass
This measure consists of a pedestrianonly overpass or underpass over a roadway. It provides complete
separation of pedestrians from motor
vehicle traffic, normally where no other
pedestrian facility is available, and
connects off-road trails and paths
across major barriers.

Pedestrian overpasses and
underpasses allow for the
uninterrupted flow of
pedestrian movement
separate from the vehicle
traffic.

Grade separation via this
measure is most feasible and
appropriate in extreme cases
where pedestrians must cross
roadways such as freeways
and high-speed, high-volume
arterials. This measure
should be considered a last
resort, as it is expensive and
visually intrusive.

Road Diet (aka
Lane Reduction)
The number of lanes of travel is reduced
by widening sidewalks, adding bicycle
and parking lanes, and converting
parallel parking to angled or
perpendicular parking.

This is a good traffic
calming and pedestrian
safety tool, particularly in
areas that would benefit
from curb extensions but
have infrastructure in the
way. This measure also
improves pedestrian
conditions on multi-lane
roadways.

Roadways with surplus
roadway capacity (typically
multi-lane roadways with less
than 15,000 to 17,000 ADT)
and high bicycle volumes,
and roadways that would
benefit from traffic calming
measures.

Median Refuge
Island
Raised islands are placed in the center
of a roadway, separating opposing lanes
of traffic with cutouts for accessibility
along the pedestrian path.

This measure allows
pedestrians to focus on
each direction of traffic
separately, and the refuge
provides pedestrians with
a better view of oncoming
traffic as well as allowing
drivers to see pedestrians
more easily. It can also
split up a multi-lane road
and act as a supplement
to additional pedestrian
tools.

Recommended for multi-lane
roads wide enough to
accommodate an ADAaccessible median.

Measure Description Benefits Application
Staggered Median
Refuge Island
This measure is similar to traditional
median refuge islands; the only
difference is that the crosswalks in the
roadway are staggered such that a
pedestrian crosses half the street and
then must walk towards traffic to reach
the second half of the crosswalk. This
measure must be designed for
accessibility by including rails and
truncated domes to direct sightimpaired pedestrians along the path of travel.

Benefits of this tool
include an increase in the
concentration of
pedestrians at a crossing
and the provision of better
traffic views for
pedestrians. Additionally,
motorists are better able
to see pedestrians as they
walk through the
staggered refuge.

Best used on multi-lane
roads with obstructed
pedestrian visibility or with
off-set intersections.

Curb Extension
Also known as a pedestrian bulb-out,
this traffic-calming measure is meant to
slow traffic and increase driver
awareness. It consists of an extension of
the curb into the street, making the
pedestrian space (sidewalk) wider.

Curb extensions narrow
the distance that a
pedestrian has to cross
and increases the
sidewalk space on the
corners. They also improve
emergency vehicle access
and make it difficult for
drivers to turn illegally.

Due to the high cost of
installation, this tool would
only be suitable on streets
with high pedestrian activity,
on-street parking, and
infrequent (or no) curb-edge
transit service. It is often
used in combination with
crosswalks or other markings.

Reduced Curb
Radii
The radius of a curb can be reduced to
require motorists to make a tighter turn.

Shorter radii narrow the
distance that pedestrians
have to cross; they also
reduce traffic speeds and
increase driver awareness
(like curb extensions), but
are less difficult and
expensive to implement.

This measure would be
beneficial on streets with
high pedestrian activity, onstreet parking, and no curbedge transit service. It is more suitable for wider
roadways and roadways with
low volumes of heavy truck
traffic.

Curb Ramps
Curb ramps are sloped ramps that are
constructed at the edge of a curb
(normally at intersections) as a
transition between the sidewalk and a
crosswalk.

Curb ramps provide easy
access between the
sidewalk and roadway for
people using wheelchairs,
strollers, walkers,
crutches, handcarts,
bicycles, and also for
pedestrians with mobility
impairments who have
trouble stepping up and
down high curbs.

Curb ramps must be installed
at all intersections and midblock locations where
pedestrian crossings exist, as
mandated by federal
legislation (1973
Rehabilitation Act and 1990
Americans with Disabilities
Act). Where feasible,
separate curb ramps for each
crosswalk at an intersection
should be provided rather
than having a single ramp at
a corner for both crosswalks.

Measure Description Benefits Application
Raised Crosswalk A crosswalk whose surface is elevated
above the travel lanes.

Attracts drivers' attention;
encourages lower travel
speeds by providing visual
and tactile feedback when
approaching the
crosswalk.

Appropriate for multi-lane
roadways, roadways with
lower speed limits that are
not emergency routes, and
roadways with high levels of
pedestrian activity, such as
near schools, shopping
malls, etc.

Improved RightTurn Slip-Lane
Design
Right-turn slip lanes (aka channelized
right-turn lanes) are separated from the
rest of the travel lanes by a pork chopshaped striped area. This measure separates right-turning traffic and
streamlines right-turning movements.

Improved right-turn slip lanes would
provide pedestrian crossing islands
within the intersection and be designed
to optimize the right-turning motorist’s
view of the pedestrian and of vehicles to
his or her left.

This measure reduces the
pedestrian's crossing
distance and turning
vehicle speeds.

Appropriate for intersections
with high volumes of rightturning vehicles.

Chicanes
A chicane is a sequence of tight
serpentine curves (usually an S-shape
curve) in a roadway, used on city streets
to slow cars.

This is a traffic-calming
measure that can improve
the pedestrian
environment and
pedestrian safety.

Chicanes can be created on
streets with higher volumes,
given that the number of
through lanes is maintained;
they can also be created on
higher-volume residential
streets to slow traffic.

Chicanes may be constructed
by alternating parallel or
angled parking in
combination with curb
extensions.

Pedestrian Access and Amenities
Marked
Crosswalk
Marked crosswalks should be installed
to provide designated pedestrian
crossings at major pedestrian
generators, crossings with significant
pedestrian volumes (at least 15 per
hour), crossings with high vehiclepedestrian collisions, and other areas based on engineering judgment.

Marked crosswalks
provide a designated
crossing, which may
improve walkability and
reduce jaywalking.

Marked crosswalks alone
should not be installed on
multi-lane roads with more
than about 10,000 vehicles/
day. Enhanced crosswalk
treatments (as presented in
this table) should
supplement the marked
crosswalk.

Textured Pavers
Textured pavers come in a variety of
materials (for example, concrete, brick,
and stone) and can be constructed to
create a textured pedestrian surface
such as a crosswalk or sidewalk.

Crosswalks are constructed with the
pavers, or can be made of stamped
concrete or asphalt.

Highly visible to motorists,
this measure provides a
visual and tactile cue to
motorists and delineates a
separate space for
pedestrians, as it provides
a different texture to the
street for pedestrians and
motorists. It also
aesthetically enhances the
streetscape.

Appropriate for areas with
high volumes of pedestrian
traffic and roadways with low
visibility and/or narrow travel
ways, as in the downtown
area of towns and small
cities.

Anti-Skid
Surfacing
Surface treatment is applied to streets
to improve skid resistance during wet
weather. This is a supplementary tool
that can be used to reduce skidding in
wet conditions.

Improves driver and
pedestrian safety.

Appropriate for multi-lane
roadways and roadways with
higher posted speed limit
and/or high vehicle volumes
or collision rates.

Accessibility
Upgrades
Treatments such as audible pedestrian
signals, accessible push buttons, and
truncated domes should be installed at
crossings to accommodate disabled
pedestrians.

Improves accessibility of
pedestrian facilities for all
users.

Accessibility upgrades
should be provided for all
pedestrian facilities following
a citywide ADA Transition
Plan.

Pedestrian
Countdown
Signal
Displays a “countdown” of the number
of seconds remaining for the pedestrian
crossing interval. In some jurisdictions
the countdown includes the walk phase.

In other jurisdictions, the countdown is
only displayed during the flashing don’t
walk phase.

Increases pedestrian
awareness and allows
them the flexibility to know
when to speed up if the
pedestrian phase is about
to expire.

The forthcoming 2009
MUTCD is expected to require
all pedestrian signals to
incorporated countdown
signals within ten years. The
signals should be prioritized
for areas with pedestrian
activity, roadways with high
volumes of vehicular traffic,
multi-lane roadways, and
areas with elderly or disabled
persons (who may walk
slower than others may).

Transit
High-Visibility
Bus Stop
Locations
This measure should include siting bus
stops on the far side of intersections,
with paved connections to sidewalks
where landscape buffers exist.

Provides safe, convenient,
and inviting access for
transit users; can improve
roadway efficiency and
driver sight distance.

Appropriate for all bus stops

LINKS /ROADWAY SEGMENTS
A. Road Design and Operations to Slow Traffic
Traffic Calming
There are a variety of measures too
numerous to list here. See ITE
Institute of Transportation
Engineers, "Traffic Calming: State
of the Practice".

Reduces motor vehicle speeds,
which improves safety for all
modes and increases bicyclist’s
comfort.

Urban and suburban settings;
suggested for urban major
streets with prevailing speeds
of 35 mph and higher and for
suburban major streets with
prevailing speeds 45 mph or
higher; and for all local
streets with speeds of 30+
mph.

Bicycle Boulevard
A minor street on which traffic
control devices are designed and
placed to encourage cycling; these
include: unwarranted stop signs
along bike route are removed;
crossing assistance at major
arterials is provided (see examples
in Nodes-Section E below).

Allows cyclists to maintain their
travel speeds, significantly
reducing their travel time;
provides cyclists with a low
volume, low speed street where
motorists are aware that it is a
bicycle-priority street.

On minor streets with less
than 3000 vehicles per day
especially useful when Bike
Blvd is parallel to and within
¼ mile of a major arterial
with many desirable
destinations.

Signal
Coordination at 15
-25 mph
The signal timing along a corridor
is set so that traffic which receives
a green light at the first
intersection will subsequently
receive a green light at all
downstream intersections if they
travel at the design speed; aka a
“green wave.”
Encourages motorists to travel
at slower speeds, provides a
more comfortable experience
for cyclists and increases
overall traffic safety; also allows
cyclists to hit the green lights,
so that they can maintain their
travel speeds, significantly
reducing their travel time.

Urban settings, typically
downtown and other areas
with relatively short blocks
and with traffic signals at
every intersection.

Woonerf/Shared
Space
A shared space concept where the
entire public right of way is
available for all modes, often with
no sidewalks, and with no lane
striping, and little if any signage.

Access for motor vehicles is
maintained, unlike a pedestrian
zone, but motor vehicle speeds
are constrained to 5 mph by
design and the presence of
other modes. Safety for all
modes is improved.

Low volume residential
streets where families can
gather, and children are
encouraged to play; also
commercial areas with high
pedestrian volumes,
bicyclists and transit.

B. Road Design to Provide Bicycle Infrastructure
Bike Lanes
A painted lane for the exclusive use
of bicyclists; it is one-way and is 5
feet minimum in width. They can be
retrofitted onto an existing street
by either a) narrowing existing wide
travel lanes; b) removing a parking
lane; c) removing a travel lane, or
d) widening the roadway. A
common method to retrofit bike
lanes is described below.

Provides cyclists with their own
travel lane so that they can
safely pass and be passed by
motor vehicles.

Roadways with over 4000
vehicles per day (if less than
4000 vehicles per day see
Bicycle Boulevards above).

Measure Description Benefits Application
Road Diet (aka
Lane Reduction)
One to two travel lanes are
replaced with a bike lane in each
direction, and in most cases by
also adding left-turn lanes at
intersections or a center two-way
left-turn lane; variations include
widening sidewalks, and replacing
parallel parking with angled or
perpendicular parking.

Improves traffic safety for all
modes by: a) eliminating the
double-threat to pedestrians
posed by the two or more travel
lanes in each direction; b)
providing bike lanes for cyclists;
c) providing a left-turn pocket
for motorists, reducing rear-end
collisions and improving
visibility to oncoming traffic.

Classic application is a fourlane undivided roadway with less than 15,000 to 17,000
ADT though conversions of
four-lane streets may work up
to 23,000 ADT. Also applies
to three-lane roadways and
to 5 or 6-lane undivided
roadways
Buffer adjacent to
bike lanes
A three to five-foot buffer area is
provided on one or both sides of
the bike lane.

Right-side buffer (between bike
lane and on-street parking):

Removes cyclists from the door
zone; Left-side (between bike
lane and adjacent travel lane):
provides greater separation
from passing motor vehicle
traffic.

This measure is particularly
beneficial in the following
conditions: Right-side: on
streets with parallel on-street
parking particularly in cities
with a collision history of
dooring; Left-side: on streets
with traffic with prevailing
speeds of 40 mph and
higher.

Cycle Tracks
A bikeway within the roadway right
of way that is separated from both
traffic lanes and the sidewalks by
either a parking lane, street
furniture, curbs or other physical
means.

Reduces sidewalk riding,
provides greater separation
between motorists and cyclists.

Urban settings with parallel
sidewalks and heavy traffic.

C Other Traffic Control Devices
Except Bicycles
placard
A Regulatory sign placard for use
with other regulatory signs.

Increases or maintains the
access and circulation
capabilities of bicyclists.

Used at locations where the
restriction in question does
not apply to bicyclists, such
as No Left Turn or Do Not
Enter.

Sharrows
A pavement legend that indicates
the location within the travel lane
where bicyclists are expected to
occupy.

The sharrow encourages
cyclists to ride outside of the
door zone and studies have
shown that sharrows reduce the
incidence of cyclists riding on
the sidewalk and wrong-way
riding.

Two or more lane city streets
where the right-most lane is
too narrow for a motor
vehicle to safely pass a
cyclist within the travel lane.

Bike Lanes May
Use Full Lane sign
(MUTCD R4-11)
Regulatory Sign
Informs motorists and cyclists
that cyclists may be travelling in
the center of a narrow lane.

Two or more lane city streets
where the right-most lane is

Two-lane roads particularly in
rural areas where shoulders
are less than four feet.

Bike Directional

or similar)
Informational signs indicating
place names and arrows, with
distances as a recommended
option (D1-2C)
Informs bicyclists of the most

D. New infrastructure to improve bicycle connectivity
Bike Path
A paved pathway for the exclusive
use of non-motorized traffic within
its own right of way;
Provides additional connectivity
and route options that
otherwise would not be
available to bicyclists.

Wherever a continuous right
of way exists, typically found
along active or abandoned
railroad ROW, shorelines,
creeks, and river levees.

Pathway
connections
Short pathway segments for nonmotorized traffic, for example, that join the ends of two cul-de-sacs or
provide other connectivity not
provided by road network.

Provides short-cuts for
bicyclists that reduce their
travel distance and travel time.

Varies by community;
suggested at the end of every
newly constructed cul-desac.

Bicycle Overpass/
Underpass
A bicycle overpass or underpass is
a bridge or tunnel built for the
exclusive use of non-motorized
traffic and is typically built where
at-grade crossings cannot be
provided such as to cross freeways,
rivers, creeks and railroad tracks.

They can also be built to cross
major arterials where, for example,
a bike path must cross a major
roadway.

A bike bridge / tunnel
complements a local roadway
system that is discontinuous
due to man-made or natural
barriers. They reduce the
distance traveled by cyclists,
and provide a safer conflict-free
crossing, particularly if it is an
alternative to a freeway
interchange.

Grade separation via this
measure is most feasible and
appropriate when it would
provide direct access to
major bicyclist destinations
such as a school or college,
employment site, major
transit station or would
reduce the travel distance by
one mile or more.

NODES / INTERSECTIONS
E. Intersection Design for Motor Vehicles
Reduced Curb
Radii
The radius of a curb is reduced to
require motorists to make the turn
at slower speeds and to make a
tighter turn.

Shorter curb radii reduce the
speed of turning traffic thereby
enabling a more comfortable
weave between through cyclists
and right-turning motorists.

This measure is suitable for
downtown settings, at all
cross streets with minor
streets, all residential streets
and all roadways that are not
designated truck routes.

Remove/Control
Free Right-Turn
Lanes
Where a separate right-turn lane
continues as its own lane after the
turn, it may be redesigned to
eliminate the free turn. A shortterm solution is to control the turning movement with a stop sign
or signal control and to redesign
the island as discussed below.

Improves bicyclist safety since
this design forces through
cyclists on the cross street to
end up in between two lanes of
through motor vehicle traffic.

All locations where there are
free right-turn lanes except
those leading onto freeway
on-ramps.

Remove/Redesign
Right-Turn SlipLane Design
Right-turn slip lanes (aka
channelized right-turn lanes) are
separated from the rest of the
travel lanes by a pork chop-shaped
raised island which typically is
designed to facilitate fast right
turns, and right-turning vehicles
are often not subject to the traffic
signal or stop sign.

Improves bicyclist safety by
slowing right-turning motorists
and facilitates the weave
between through bicyclists and
right-turning motorists.

All locations with a
channelized right-turn.

F. Intersection Design Treatments - Bicycle-Specific
Bicycle Signal
Detection and
Pavement
Marking
Provide signal detectors that also
detect bicyclists in the rightmost
through lane and in left-turn lanes
with left-turn phasing. Provide
pavement marking to indicate to
cyclists where to position
themselves in order to activate the
detector.

Enables cyclists to be detected
when motor vehicles are not
present to trigger the needed
signal phase. Improves
bicyclists’ safety.

Per CA MUTCD 4D.105 and
CVC 21450.5, all new and
modified traffic detection
installations must detect
bicyclists; All other trafficactuated signals may be
retrofitted to detect bicyclists
as soon as feasible.

Bicycle Signal
Timing
Provides signal timing to account
for the speed of cyclists to cross an
intersection.

Improves bicyclists’ safety by
reducing the probability of a
bicyclist being in an
intersection when the phase
terminates and being hit by
traffic that receives the next
green phase.

Signal timing that accounts
for cyclists is particularly
important for cyclists on a
minor street approach to a
major arterial which crosses
a greater distance due to the
width of the arterial, hence
requiring a longer time
interval.

Bicycle Signal
Heads
A traffic signal indication in the
shape of a bicycle, with full red,
yellow green capability.

Improves bicyclist safety by
providing a bicycle -only phase,
where appropriate, given the
geometry and phasing of the
particular intersection.

Where intersection geometry
is such that a bicycle-only
phase is provided and/or
bicycle signal heads would
improve safety at the
intersection. See also CA
MUTCD for warrants for
bicycle signal heads.

Widen Bike Lane
at Intersection
Approach
Within the last 200 feet of an
intersection, widen the bike lane
and narrow the travel; for example
from 5 foot bike lane and 12 feet
travel lane would become a 7 foot
bike lane and 10 foot travel lane.

Improves cyclist safety by
encouraging right-turning
motorists to enter the bike lane
to turn right, (as required by the
CVC), which reduces the chance
of a right-turn hook collision in
which a through cyclist remains
to the right of a right-turning
motorist.

On roads with bike lanes
approaching an intersection
without a right-turn only lane
and there is noncompliance
with right-turning vehicles
merging into the bike lane as
required by the CVC and UVC.

Bike Lane inside
Right-Turn Only
Lane
(“Combined
Bicycle/RightTurn Lane”)
Provide a bike lane line inside and
on the left side of a right-turn only
lane.

Encourages cyclists to ride on
the left side of the right-turn
only lane thus reducing the
chance of a right hook collision,
where a cyclist remains to the
right of a right-turning motorist.

On roads with bike lanes
approaching an intersection
with a right-turn only lane
and there is not enough
roadway width to provide a
bike lane to the left of the
right-turn lane.

Bike Boxes
Area between an Advance Stop
Line and a marked crosswalk which
is designates as the queue space
for cyclists to wait for a green light
ahead of queued motor vehicle
traffic; sometimes painted green.

Primary benefits are to reduce
conflicts between bicyclists and
right-turning traffic at the onset
of the green signal phase, and
to reduce vehicle and bicyclist
encroachment in a crosswalk
during a red signal phase.

Locations where there are at
least three cyclists at the
beginning of the green phase
and moderate to high
pedestrian volumes.

Marked Crosswalk
with Distinct
Marked Area for
Bicyclists separate
from Pedestrians
A marked crosswalk that has two
distinct areas, one for pedestrians
and one for bicyclists.

Reduces conflicts between
bicyclists and pedestrians by
indicating the part of the
crosswalk intended for the two
different modes.

At a typical intersection,
cyclists would not be riding
within the crosswalk, so this
measure is intended for
those few locations where the
intersection design is such
that bicyclists are tracked
into a crosswalk such as at a
midblock bike path crossing
or possibly a cycle track.

Pedestrian
Countdown Signal
Displays a “countdown” of the
number of seconds remaining for
the pedestrian crossing interval. In
some jurisdictions the countdown
includes the walk phase. In other
jurisdictions, the countdown is only
displayed during the flashing don’t
walk phase.

While designed for pedestrians,
this measure also assists
bicyclists in knowing how much
time they have to left to cross
the intersection.

The 2012 MUTCD requires all
pedestrian signals to
incorporated countdown
signals within ten years
G. Geometric Countermeasures to Assist crossing a Major Street Median Refuge
Island
A raised island placed in the center
of a roadway, separating opposing
lanes of traffic, with ramps for
cyclists and ADA accessibility
This measure allows bicyclists
to cross one direction of traffic
at a time; it allows drivers to
see bicyclists crossing from the
center more easily.

Suggested for multilane
roads at uncontrolled
crossings where an 8-foot
(min.) wide by 15-foot (min.)
long median can be provided.

Staggered Refuge
Pedestrian Island
This measure is similar to
traditional median refuge islands;
the only difference is that the
crosswalk is staggered such that a
pedestrian crosses one direction of
traffic street and then must turn to
their right facing oncoming to reach
the second part of the crosswalk.

This measure must be designed for
accessibility by including rails and
truncated domes to direct sightimpaired pedestrians along the path of travel.

Benefits of this measure
include forcing the bicyclists
and pedestrians to face the
oncoming motorists, increasing
their awareness of the
impending conflict.

Additionally, can improve
motorists’ visibility to those
persons in the crosswalk.

Best used on multilane roads
with obstructed pedestrian
visibility or with off-set

near schools, shopping
malls, etc.

H. Traffic Control Countermeasures to Assist Crossing a Major Street Traffic Signal or
All-Way Stop Sign
Conventional traffic control devices
with warrants for use based on the
Manual on Uniform Control Devices
(MUTCD)
Provides the gap needed in
traffic flow so that cyclists can
cross the street, reducing
bicycle-vehicle conflicts and
risk-taking by cyclists to
Must meet warrants based on
traffic/ pedestrian / bicycle
volumes, collision history,
and/ or other factors.

Modern
Roundabout
A traffic circle combined with
splitter island on all approaches
and entering traffic must YIELD to
traffic within the roundabout;
typically designed for traffic speed
within the roundabout of between
15 and 23 mph.

Slows traffic on cross street so
that cyclists can more easily
cross.

Roundabouts are a better
alternative than an All-Way
Stop signs when the side
street volume is
approximately 30 % of the
total intersection traffic
volume and total peak hour
volume is less than 2300
vehicles per day.

Hawk Beacon
Signal
HAWK (High Intensity Activated
Crosswalks) are pedestrianbicyclist actuated signals that are a combination of a beacon flasher
and a traffic control signal. When
actuated, HAWK displays a yellow
(warning) indication followed by a
solid red light. During the crossstreet phase, the driver sees a flashing red “wig-wag” pattern until
the clearance interval has ended
and the signal goes dark.

Provides the need gaps in
traffic so bicyclists can safely
cross the street, can be timed
separately for bicycles and
pedestrians. Reduces
pedestrian-vehicle conflicts
and slows traffic speeds
Useful in areas where it is
difficult for bicyclists
/pedestrians to find gaps in
automobile traffic to cross
safely, but where normal
signal warrants are not
satisfied. Appropriate for
multilane roadways.

Rectangular
Rapid Flashing
Beacon
(RRFB/Stutter
Flash)
A warning sign that also contains
rapid flashing LED lamps. The
beacon may be push-button
activated or activated with
pedestrian detection.

Initial studies suggest the
stutter flash is very effective as
measured by increased driver
yielding behavior. Solar panels
reduce energy costs associated
with the device.

Locations not controlled by
any measures listed above.

Appropriate for multi-lane
roadways.

In-Roadway
Warning Lights
Both sides of a crosswalk are lined
with pavement markers, often
containing an amber LED strobe
light. The lights may be push-button
activated or activated with
pedestrian detection.

This measure provides a
dynamic visual cue of the
uncontrolled crosswalk and is
especially effective at night and
in bad weather.

Locations not controlled by
any measures listed above.

Best in locations with low
bicycle ridership on the cross
street, as the raised markers
may present difficulty to
bicyclists. May not be
appropriate in areas with
heavy winter weather due to
high maintenance costs. May
not be appropriate for
locations with bright sunlight.

74 BICYCLING IMPROVEMENT MEASURES
Measure Description Benefits Application
Bicycle Crossing
Sign (MUTCD
W11-1) or Trail
Crossing sign
(MUTCD W11-
15/W11-15p)
Warning Sign and placard.

Alerts motorists to a location
where bicyclists or bicyclists
and pedestrians will be
crossing the roadway at an
uncontrolled location.

Typical application is at bike
path crossing of a roadway.
(At a typical pedestrian
crosswalk at an intersection,
use the Pedestrian warning
sign W11-2)
In-Street
Pedestrian
Crossing Signs
(MUTCD R1-6)
This measure involves posting this
regulatory sign on road centerlines
that read, “YIELD for Pedestrians in
crosswalk”. (Depending on state
law, the word STOP may replace the
word YIELD).

This measure improves the
visibility of the crossing to
motorists and has a positive
impact on pedestrian safety at
crosswalks.

Mid-block crosswalks,
unsignalized intersections,
low-speed areas, and twolane roadways.

Advanced Yield
Lines
Standard white stop or yield limit
lines are placed 20-50 feet in
advance of marked, uncontrolled
crosswalks.

This measure increases the
pedestrian’s visibility to
motorists, reduces the number
of vehicles encroaching on the
crosswalk, and improves
general pedestrian conditions
on multi-lane roadways. It is
also an affordable option.

Useful in areas where
pedestrian visibility is low
and in areas with aggressive
drivers, as advance limit lines
will help prevent drivers from
encroaching on the
crosswalk. Addresses the
multiple-threat collision on
multi-lane roads.

Transit
Bike Racks on
Buses
A rack on the front of the bus that
typically holds two or three
bicycles.

Increases the trip length
distance that a person can
make.

Appropriate for all buses;
most urban transit agencies
have already implemented
this measure.

Bikes allowed
inside buses when
bike rack is full
A policy adopted by a transit
agency that allows passengers to
bring bicycles inside the bus when
the bike rack is full and there is
room inside.

Prevents cyclists from needless
being left behind to wait for the
next bus if the bike rack is full
yet there is room inside the bus.

Appropriate for all buses;
most urban transit agencies
have already implemented
this measure.

Folding bikes
allowed inside
buses
A policy adopted by a transit
agency that treats a folding bicycle
as luggage, thereby allowing it
inside the bus at all times.

Removes cyclists’ uncertainty
as to whether they will be able
to fit their bike either on the
bike rack or inside the bus;
thus, they can reliably plan on
being able to catch their
intended bus.

Appropriate for all buses;
most urban transit agencies
have already implemented
this measure.

79 Importance of Street Connectivity
Providing direct paths for bicyclists and pedestrians via well-connected street networks is important for encouraging bicycling and walking by helping people overcome real and perceived senses of distance.

Street connectivity is also associated with public health benefits. The SMARTRAQ Project analysis in Atlanta, Georgia, found that doubling the current regional average intersection density, from 8.3 to 16.6 intersections per square kilometer was associated with a reduction in average per capita vehicle mileage of about 1.6 percent. Furthermore, the Frank et al. (2006) study of King County, Washington, found that perhousehold VMT declines with increased street connectivity, all else held constant.

Policies for Street Connectivity
A network of safe, direct, and comfortable routes and facilities: A 2004 PAS report recommends that pedestrian (and bicycle) path connections to be every 300 to 500 feet; for motor vehicles, they recommend 500 to 1,000 feet.3 4 For new development, such standards can be implemented through ordinances, like those of the regional government of Portland Oregon, Metro, which requires street connectivity in its Regional Transportation Plan and in the development codes and design standards of its constituent local governments.5 Measuring Connectivity
The following discussion of measuring street connectivity is provided as a resource and not officially a part of regular BSA processes. However, individuals are certainly encouraged to make such calculations. Jennifer Dill (2004) presents the following measures of street connectivity:
• Intersection density
• Street density
• Average block length
• Link/node ratio
• Connected node ratio = intersections/ (intersections + cul-de-sacs) • Alpha index = number of actual circuits/ maximum number of circuits o Where a circuit is a finite, closed path starting and ending at a single node • Gamma index = number of links in the network/ maximum possible number of links between nodes • Effective walking area = number of parcels within a one-quarter mile walking distance of a point/ total number of parcels within a one-quarter mile radius of that point
• Route directness = route distance/ straight-line distance for two selected points Dill suggests that route directness (RD) is perhaps the best connectivity measure to reflect minimizing trip distances, but may be difficult to use in research and policy. However, it may be applied in practice by randomly selecting origin-destination pairs and calculating a sample for the subject area.

City of Cloverdale
General Plan Annual Report – 2022
Accepted by the Cloverdale City Council on March 22, 2023 Background
The Cloverdale General Plan is a legal document, required by state law, which serves as the City’s "constitution" for development and the use of land. The Cloverdale General Plan serves two primary functions. As an information document, it describes existing conditions within the City and provides development projections. As a policy document, the General Plan establishes a vision for the city’s future that is representative of what the City will look like in 2025. The General Plan contains goals, policies and implementation programs or measures for land use, development, and environmental quality that guide the physical development of the City consistent with the established vision of the City.

Using the guidelines established by the General Plan, Cloverdale’s City Council and Planning Commission take incremental steps toward achieving the larger development goals of the City. City staff also implements policies and actions contained in the General Plan through day-to-day operations of the City.

The General Plan includes the following elements:
• Land Use (LU)
• Circulation (CE)
• Noise (NE)
• Parks and Recreation (PR)
• Conservation, Design and Open Space (CDO)
• Urban Lighting (UL)
• Public Health and Safety (PS)
• Housing (H)
The State requires that the City submit an annual report on the status of its General Plan and progress made toward its implementation to the City Council and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The General Plan Year End Report is also required to be submitted with Annual Housing Element Progress Report to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Since its adoption in 2009, the City has worked to implement the policies outlined in the General Plan.

The various departments that make up the City of Cloverdale work collaboratively to implement various aspects of the General Plan. These departments include the City Manager's office, Administrative Services (Finance), Public Works (Engineering, Water, Sewer, Parks and Recreation), Police including dispatch and Community Development (Planning and Building).

This report is organized to comply with OPR's General Plan Guidelines. This document is a reporting document, and does not create or alter policy. The content is provided for informational purposes only, and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306. The report includes sections that correlate with the Elements of the General Plan and 111

details important information and events from the 2022 calendar year. The report also identifies how City decision making was guided by the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation measures.

Status of the Cloverdale General Plan
The Cloverdale General Plan was comprehensively updated in 2009. Since adoption of the General Plan, the following amendments have been made to the General Plan:
• 2010 - In order to clarify Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) provisions, land use designations for the downtown area, Cloverdale Depot and at Citrus Fair Drive were updated in order to implement the Station Area/Downtown Plan and to correct mapping errors that conflict with the General Plan text.
• 2014 - A comprehensive update of the 2015-2023 Housing Element was completed. • 2015 - The Downtown Service land use designation was eliminated to help achieve some economic development goals. At the same time, other minor text amendments were made to eliminate duplication and inconsistencies, and to ensure land uses may be built out as envisioned in the Station Area/Downtown Plan.
• 2016 – The General Plan was amended for five
properties associated with the Nu Forest
Annexation project consisting of an approximate

42.5-acre project site. The purpose of the
annexation and general plan amendments were
to support General Plan Goal LU-1 - Provide a
balance of land uses within the General Plan
Study Area for housing, jobs, economic
development, recreation, conservation, and
destination commercial uses. At the same time,
other text amendments were made to allow for
live-work units within the M-1 Zoning District,
ensuring that existing uses on some of the
annexed properties would be conforming with all
applicable City regulations post annexation.

The General Plan was also amended in 2016 to
change the designation of a 12.3-acre property
located at the southeast corner of Santana Drive
and Asti Road from Business Park (BP) to
Destination Commercial (DSC). The purpose of
the General Plan amendment was to allow for specific land uses within the project site consistent with the Alexander Valley Resort (AVR) Specific Plan as the applicant was also the property owner of the AVR project.
• 2018 - General Plan amended for the Vista Oaks subdivision of a 42.62-acre project site located at the north end of existing Vista View Drive. The purpose of the general plan amendment was to allow for a 33-lot subdivision whereas the previous General Plan designation would have prevented the seven (7) properties that make up the 42.62-acre project site from being 112
- 3 -
subdivided. Though, the project site lies above the 400-foot elevation, the project helped further General Plan goals and policies by:
a) conforming to the maximum density allowed by the LDR land use designation; b) incorporation of conditions of approval and mitigation measures from the Major Design Review and Precise Development Plan review process to ensure that the development will be significantly screened from view from the valley floor; c) guaranteeing over half of the project site (26.60 of 42.62 acres) remains as dedicated open space.

The General Plan was also amended in 2018 for the AVR project as follows:
a) revised the amount of city-wide park and recreation opportunities to the AVR site. b) reduced open space on the AVR site consistent with the revised development plan; c) allowed residential development within an Airport Safety Zones subject to a report from a qualified consultant indicating there would be no safety issue.

The purpose of the General Plan amendment was to improve the overall quality of the AVR project and to further the economic development goals of the City. • 2020 – General Plan amended for the Baumgardner Ranch housing project on 28.42-acres at 28195 & 28193 Old Redwood Highway. The purpose of the general plan amendment was to allow for a 296 unit (including 223 affordable units) residential development whereas the previous General Plan designations (General Industry and Low Density Residential) would have prevented the housing project from being approved.
• 2021 – The General Plan was amended as a part of the Dry Creek Rancheria annexation project.

The annexation involved
a total of 6 parcels and approximately 87 acres, and the General Plan land use designation was changed on a portion of 2 of the six parcels from General Industrial (GI) to General Commercial 113
- 4 -
(GC) and from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) for the Bi’ Du Khaale senior housing project at 235 Kelly Road.

The General Plan was also amended in 2021 for the Taylor Lynn Apartments Phase 2 project at 669-679 S. Cloverdale Boulevard. The land use designation of the 1.41-acre project site was changed from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) to allow for the construction of the 22-unit market rate multi-family residential dwelling units.

General Plan Implementation in 2022
Actions taken by the City during 2022 to implement the General Plan are individually summarized by General Plan element in Exhibit 1. A brief highlighted list of accomplishments for the calendar year are provided below.

Land Use Element
• City staff continued discussions with potential developers of Alexander Valley Resort project. • Related to Implementation LU 1-4c, the South Cloverdale area infrastructure study was completed in 2022, and now the assessment portion of this project needs to be completed. • In regards to Implementation LU 9-1a, the City amended Chapter 8.12 of the Cloverdale Municipal Code regarding “Collection, Disposal, and Processing of Solid Waste, Recyclables, and Organic Waste and Related Activities” to eliminate potentially conflicting language, clarify definitions and add provisions to address SB 1383 regulations. • Alexander Valley Apartments project approved for 75 units, including at least 37 units of farmworker housing. As required by Implementation LU 1-4a the project was approved with at least 50 foot setbacks from adjacent industrial land to proposed new residential.

Conservation, Design and Open Space Element
• City staff continued to work with PGE on an energy audit of the City’s buildings and infrastructure to reduce energy consumption throughout the City. 114
- 5 -
• Legislation was adopted, in particular SB 9 and 10, by the State and staff is preparing zoning ordinance amendments to ensure that the City’s code is in full compliance with all of the applicable state laws regarding housing.

Circulation Element
• Regarding Implementation CE 2-1a, Level of Service (L.O.S.) can no longer be used as a way of measuring traffic impacts of a project during a projects CEQA review. In order for the City to comply with SB 743, the City is required to adopt Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) thresholds for determining a potential projects traffic impacts in regards to review of a project under CEQA.

In 2022 the City began budgeting and discussing with consultants on the process needed to establish local VMT thresholds for the City.
• Related to Implementation CE 1-2b the Building Department issued building permits related to the Baumgardner project that will extend S. Foothill Boulevard through project site and maintaining a 70' R.O.W. Also completed in 2022 was a new segment of sidewalk, curb and gutter in front of the Cherry Creek Housing project site along S. Cloverdale Boulevard.

Public Health and Safety Element
• Alexander Valley Healthcare Community Wellness Center approved and development agreement accepted to develop a 44,000 square foot community wellness center on a portion of the Thyme Square property at Cloverdale Boulevard and Citrus Fair Drive. 115
- 6 -
Parks and Recreation Element
• Construction began at Plaza Park to install public restroom facilities at the downtown park. • In collaboration with Cloverdale Fire Protection District, the Northern Sonoma County Fuels Crew conducted prescribed pile burns at Porterfield Creek Open Space. Woody material from Phase 3 of the ongoing vegetation management project were thinned and piled by the Fuels Crew staff over the last several months. The prescribed pile burning at Porterfield Creek Open Space is a continuation of fuels reduction work that began earlier this year with the Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District’s Fuels Crew, thinning vegetation along the main trail that runs through the park. Thinning of vegetation coupled with prescribed burning reduces surface and ladder fuels to help protect the park’s natural resources including native trees and adjacent communities from future wildfire threats.

116
- 7 -
• The city constructed two new pickleball courts at Furber Park. The courts were painted a vibrant blue adding a flare of color. The courts have been well received and used by the community since the grand opening ceremony.

Housing Element
• Utilizing funds from in part from the SB2 and LEAP planning grants the City continued working with 4Leaf, Inc to complete the housing element update. • The Building Department issued seven (7) building permits for the construction of 107 units (six (6) ADUs & 101 multi-family units).
• Alexander Valley Apartments affordable housing project approved, many of the units will be 3 or 2 bedrooms to accommodate large families. The project will provide 75 units, and at least 37 of which will be reserved for farmworker housing.
• The City Council approved a General Plan and Zoning Amendment for a 22-unit market rate apartment project known as Taylor Lynn Apartments Phase 2. The project changed the land use designation from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) on the 1.41- acre project site that is bordered on two sides by an established neighborhood developed with detached single-family residences.
117
- 8 -
• Cherry Creek Village project was completed providing a total of 24 housing units, 22 of which are new construction transitional housing units with 2 other units that were preserved and refurbished.
• New housing legislation such as SB9 became effective and requires that the City ministerially allow R-1 zoned parcels to be subdivided into 2 lots and allow each lot to build 2 units.

The City also learned of other legislation such as AB 2011 which will take effect in 2023 and require that the City allow commercially zoned parcels to be developed with residential if includes a min amount of affordable units.

General Plan Amendments and Implementation anticipated during 2023 In 2022, the City began the process of preparing an update to the Housing Element for the 6th planning cycle. The 6th Cycle Housing Element update will be completed in 2023 and submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Annual Review of Land Use Element
As required by Government Code Section 65302, the Land Use Element was reviewed to determine if any revisions were needed to reflect updated flooding information. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicates areas within the City limits and planning area that are subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood, as well as floodway areas that must be kept free of encroachment to minimum increases in flood heights. The FIRM for Cloverdale was most recently updated in December of 2021.

Develop a Plan around the Cloverdale passenger rail station in order to coordinate pedestrian access with the downtown, provide a source of transit riders within a half- mile radius of the station, and establish destination uses to attract transit riders to Cloverdale.

Maintain a quiet community by reducing existing noise problems and assuring that noise is not intrusive to people inside and outside of buildings with noise policies that identify and reduce noise impacts on the community, protect residents, employees, and visitors from harmful effects of exposure to excess noise, protect the economic base of the City by preventing encroachment of noise sensitive land uses into areas with existing noise producing businesses and uses, provide flexibility for development of infill properties where elevated noise levels exist, and provide the information necessary to address noise issues in existing and future land use planning and project review process.

Support bus service locally, countywide, and beyond county borders.

Promote transit service and use to serve Cloverdale land use goals. 14 of 49 2022 Annual Report 3/2/2023

Preserve the traditional appearance of existing houses along Cloverdale Boulevard north of the downtown by allowing flexibility of use as an economic incentive to preserve and flexibility in parking standards so that the parking requirements do not require demolition or improper alteration. Existing houses should be used as a design model for new construction.

Preserve the traditional appearance of the residential areas around the downtown by identifying structures built prior to 1939, allowing flexibility in planning standards as an incentive to retaining these buildings in their traditional appearance, and requiring design review for new construction in the area to assure that the traditional appearance of older Cloverdale is retained.

Use traditional downtown design elements in the downtown. Design within the pedestrian-serving portion of the downtown should have pedestrian oriented retail space on the first floor (buildings built to the sidewalk, display windows, recessed doors, and pedestrian oriented signs), with development above the first floor designed for retail, office, or residential use. Any residential use shall have the appearance of a commercial building facing the street, not that of a residential use.

Parking in the downtown core should emphasize shared parking, should not be located between a building and the street, and should not have individual driveways across sidewalks in areas designed for high levels of pedestrian use.

Maintain and improve the design of the built environment. Improve the appearance of entries and approaches to the downtown and the community. Provide design guidelines for new development and growth.

Enhance major entrances to Cloverdale in order to provide definitive gateways to the City, including views seen from the freeway at the north and south of the City and the central interchange.

Medium and higher density housing should be attached and provide common parking and open spaces if they cannot meet the traditional single family models of development.

Remove or upgrade the appearance of structures that were built when Cloverdale Boulevard was a state highway, and are no longer appropriate for the City’s main arterial street, including small gas stations, auto repair facilities, and motor court type uses.

Develop a design plan for the area around the passenger rail station so that the station is incorporated into a mixed use community, rather than an isolated facility that is reached only by car.

Consider downtown-type design configurations for the properties immediately opposite the station, with features like narrower roads to slow traffic, parking and buildings modeled after the downtown, and high density residential above commercial uses that could serve a transit community and commuter rail passengers.

Develop a design plan for the industrial and commercial areas visible from the freeway. Freeway visible uses should de-emphasize freeway- oriented signage and designs with parking as a main visual element from the freeway.

Continue to enforce City code requirements on construction in flood hazard areas and other adopted regulations which implement the National Flood Insurance Program.

Avoid variances to building setbacks along streams and in 100-year flood plains.

Onsite and offsite flood related hazards shall be reviewed for all projects located within areas subject to known flood hazards.

Regulate development, water diversion, vegetation removal, grading and fills to minimize any increase in flooding and related damage to people and property.

Payment of costs for drainage facilities to handle the surface runoff from new development shall be the responsibility of developers and others who benefit.

Require that design and construction of drainage facilities be subject to the review and approval of the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) where appropriate based on project size.

Require that tentative and final subdivision maps and approved site plans show areas subject to flooding as shown on the FEMA maps.

Give priority to floodplain management over flood control structures for preventing damage from flooding except where the intensity of development requires a high level of protection and justifies the costs of structural measures.

Coordinate flood hazard analysis and management activities with the Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other responsible agencies. Request changes in FEMA maps where appropriate to reflect new data or analyses.

Base land use planning and development review on FEMA maps and data or parcel specific scaled interpretations of these maps and site specific elevation data.

Prepare a comprehensive analysis of the potential flood hazards and drainage impacts associated with adopted land use plans for each major watershed in the City. Encourage the County to work with Cloverdale to develop basin wide drainage studies and development fees for the purpose of identifying and mitigating the direct and cumulative impact of flooding which results from the loss of permeable surfaces. The City shall use proposed annexations, redevelopment agreements, revenue sharing agreements and the CEQA process as tools to ensure that incorporated development pays its fair share toward the studies and mitigation of downstream flooding impacts caused by upstream development.

Pending completion of the above applicable drainage analyses, individual project applications shall be required to analyze and mitigate drainage impacts, based upon the land use plan. If such analysis identified unmitigated and cumulative significant effects, including impact on downstream flooding, further environmental documentation may be required.

In the event that the City determines that the project, when considered cumulatively with other projects to be undertaken in the drainage basin, will result in a significant effect with respect to downstream flooding, the project applicant will either a) prepare a focused environmental impact report on such effect, or b) agree to modify the project to construct improvements or participate in a funding mechanism necessary to mitigate any downstream flooding impacts (such as posting a bond or funds prior to recordation of the final map in an amount to be determined by the Water Agency). Failure to modify the project or to propose further environmental documentation shall be grounds for finding the project inconsistent with the plan.

Use the 100-year flood event and corresponding elevations as the City measure of acceptable level of risk and protection in the consideration of any amendments of the land use plan map.

Require and review geologic reports prior to decisions on any project which would subject property or persons to significant risks from the geologic hazards shown on County of Sonoma General Plan Public Safety Element Figures PS-1a through PS-1i and related file maps and source documents. Geologic reports shall describe the hazards and include mitigation measures to reduce risks to acceptable levels. Where appropriate, require an engineer's or geologist's certification that risks have been mitigated to an acceptable level and, if indicated, obtain indemnification or insurance from the engineer, geologist, or developer to minimize City exposure to liability.

Adopt, upon approval by the International Congress of Building Officials and the State of California, revisions to the California Building Code which increase resistance of structures to ground shaking and other geologic hazards.

Require dynamic analysis of structural response to earthquake forces prior to City approval of building permits for structures whose irregularity or other factors prevent reasonable load determination and distribution by static analysis.

Encourage strong enforcement of state seismic safety requirements for design and construction of dams, power plants, hospitals and schools.

Roads, public facilities and other Public Agency projects should incorporate measures to mitigate identified geologic hazards to acceptable levels.

Limit filling in areas which could retain a significant amount of floodwater.

Encourage the timely completion and filing of inundation maps for all dams whose failure could cause loss of life or personal injury within Sonoma County. 31 of 49 2022 Annual Report 3/2/2023
