City Council Staff Report
Department: ENGINEER/PLANNING July 9, 2024
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Jason Watts, City Engineer
Subject: Future Roundabout Project Discussion (JW)
RECOMMENDATION
Council receive presentation on roundabouts eligible for grant funding and provide direction on prioritization.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 20th, the City of Dinuba was notified of the upcoming HSIP (Highway Safety Improvement Program) Cycle 12 grant opportunity. Cycle 12 currently has $300 million dollars available. Of the $300 million dollars, $252 million is available for roundabouts that meet or exceed the BCR (Benefit Cost Ratio) requirements. Staff recommends applying for funding for the El Monte/Perry Roundabout.
OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None
DISCUSSION
The City's Roundabout Feasibility Study (Attachment 'A') was prepared by 4-Creeks Inc. at the direction of City Staff and in coordination with TJKM. The study is intended to serve as a planning-level study to guide the development of roundabout designs at these intersections and be used to apply for future grant funding opportunities.
It is important to prioritize the roundabout projects that will provide the greatest community benefit. As discussed previously on October 25th, 2023, a major way to help prioritize projects is identifying which roundabout locations reduce the chance of injury or fatality in the event of a collision which is the most beneficial to public safety.
Using the collision history gathered by 4-Creeks, the data would show to prioritize the proposed roundabout projects in the following order.
1. El Monte Way (Avenue 416) & Road 56 - Design nearing completion and CMAQ (Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) construction funding requested from TCAG earlier this year.
2. El Monte Way (Avenue 416) and Perry Avenue - Not included in Roundabout Feasibility Report, but included in the future El Monte Widening Avenue plan from Alta Avenue to Crawford Avenue.
3. Alta Avenue (Road 80) & Avenue 400
4. El Monte Way (Avenue 416) & Road 92
5. Alta Avenue (Road 80) & Nebraska Avenue (Avenue 424) -Complete
6. Alta Avenue (Road 80) & Kamm Avenue (Avenue 408) - Planning to open September 7th
Due to the success of Alta Avenue (Road 80) & Nebraska Avenue (Avenue 424) roundabout, TCAG has allocated funding for an additional two roundabouts: El Monte Way (Avenue 416) and Road 56 and Alta Avenue and Kamm Avenue.
Currently, El Monte Way (Avenue 416) and Perry Avenue is an odd intersection based upon the existing layout and receives traffic congestion during peak hours. In order to help reduce congestion, reduce speeds on El Monte Way, and to eliminate old traffic signal equipment for less maintenance in the future, staff believes this is a critical location to implement a roundabout. Since the City has already requested funding for the El Monte Way (Avenue 416) and Road 56 Roundabout through TCAG for CMAQ funding, staff recommends applying for federal funds for the El Monte Way (Avenue 416) and Perry Avenue Roundabout through the HSIP grant opportunity that is currently due September 7th, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
Selecting the next roundabout to request grant funding for has no fiscal impact. If awarded, typically HSIP funding requires a 10% local funding match which will be a fiscal impact and will be addressed in future fiscal budgets.

Introduction
Case Studies
Roundabouts have been implemented in many communities throughout California due to their ability to improve safety and traffic flow. Roundabouts are becoming increasingly common in the central valley where they are gaining popularity among central valley drivers as more drivers become accustomed to using them. The roundabouts in the City of Dinuba and the City of Reedley, discussed below, are helpful examples that demonstrate successful implementation of roundabout designs in central valley cities.
Valencia Boulevard & Naranjo Boulevard - Woodlake, CA
The roundabout in Woodlake, CA was part of a multi-phased Downtown Enhancement Project and provides an enhanced entrance into the City of Woodlake downtown area. The single-lane, urban roundabout is located at the intersection of Valencia (SR 245) and Naranjo Boulevards (SR 216), which was previously controlled using traffic lights. The roundabout includes a Class II bike lane and multi-use pedestrian and bicycle path to increase accessibility and safety for multi-modal users. The roundabout was ultimately successful in reducing traffic congestion and increasing pedestrian and cyclist mobility.
E Dinuba Avenue & S Buttonwillow Avenue - Reedley, CA
The roundabout in Reedley, CA is located approximately three miles north-west of the City of Dinuba at the intersection of E. Dinuba Avenue and S. Buttonwillow Avenue. The single-lane roundabout replaced a traditional four-way controlled intersection and serves as an entrance into the City of Reedley. The roundabout uses low-profile landscaping to ensure clear sight distances and includes sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrian connectivity.

Complete Streets Act
The Complete Streets Act (Assembly Bill 1358) was signed into law by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in September 2008. The law requires cities and counties to ensure that all circulation planning accounts for the needs of all roadway users. Specifically, the law requires cities and counties to ensure that local roads and streets accommodate the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders, as well as motorists.
California Department of Transportation 2015-2020 Strategic Management Plan The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) views all transportation improvements as an opportunity to improve sustainability, livability, and the economy. The department of transportation has identified five goals with specific objectives, performance measures, and targets in its 2015-2020 Strategic Management Plan. The outline of these specific goals and objectives are contained in the following section. 9 Introduction
Goal 1: Safety and Health
Provide a safe transportation system for workers and users and promote health through active transportation and reduced pollution in communities
Goal 2: Stewardship and Efficiency
Money counts. Responsibility manage California’s transportation-related assets Goal 3: Sustainability, Livability and Economy
Make long-lasting, smart mobility decisions that improve the environment, support a vibrant economy, and build communities, not sprawl.
Goal 4: System Performance
Utilize leadership, collaboration, and strategic partnerships to develop and integrated transportation system that provides reliable and accessible mobility for travelers.
Goal 5: Organizational Excellence
Be a national leader in delivering quality service through excellent employee performance, public communication, and accountability
California Highway Design Manual (2016)
The California Highway Design Manual (HDM) establishes uniform policies and procedure to carry out the design, implementation and operation of highways for Caltrans, but its guidelines also apply to local streets.
It is updated periodically with the most recent revision related in 2016.
California Department of Transportation Bikeway Classification Class I bikeway: Bike paths or shared use paths, also referred to as “Class I bikeways,” which provide a completely separated right-of-way designed for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with crossflows by motorists minimized.
Class II bikeway: Bike lanes, also referred to as “Class II bikeways,” that provide a restricted right-of-way designed for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of cyclists with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with vehicles parking and crossflows by pedestrians and motorists permitted.
Class III bikeway: Bike routes referred to as “Class III bikeways” provide a right-of-way onstreet or off-street, designated by signs and permanent markings and shared with pedestrians and motorist.
Class IV bikeway: Cycle tracks or separated bikeways, referred to as “Class IV bikeways,” that promote active transportation and provide a right-of-way designated exclusively for bicycle travel adjacent to a roadway and are separated from vehicular traffic. These types of separation 10 Introduction
include, but are not limited to, grade separation, flexible posts, inflexible physical barriers, or on street parking.
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2014) The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) is the guide to all pavement markings and signs used for traffic control on California streets. It is a state-specific version of the national MUTCD updated every few years. Guidance on roundabout markings and signage is provided in Section 2B.
FHWA Roundabouts: An Informational Guide (2000)
The FHWA report “Roundabouts: an Informational Guide” was published in June 2000 and provides a comprehensive guide to roundabout site selection and design. The guide addresses the wide range of potential applications of roundabout intersections and addresses topics such as teh definition of a roundabout, what distinguishes roundabouts from traffic circles, public acceptance and legal issues associated with roundabouts, consideration of all user models, etc.
Local
Tulare County General Plan
The Transportation and Circulation section of the Tulare County General Plan document outlines goals and policies to facilities a functional circulation system within Tulare County. In an effort to improve the circulation and mobility throughout Tulare County, multi-modal and complete street goals and polices are incorporated into the Transportation and Circulation element of the Tulare County General Plan.
The goal of this element is to promote an efficient roadway and highway system for the movement of people and goods, which enhances the physical, economic, and social environment while being safe, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. The following further explains the Tulare County General Plan’s list of policies below. This feasibility study is consistent with the General Plan’s policies.

As projects or locations warrant, construction or payment of prorated fees for planned road facilities may also be required as a condition of approval.
TC-1.16 County Level of Service (LOS) Standards
The County shall strive to develop and manage its roadway system (both segments and intersections) to meet a LOS of “D” or better in accordance with the LOS definitions established by the Highway Capacity Manual.
City of Dinuba General Plan
The purpose of the Circulation Element of the City of Dinuba General Plan is to guide the continued development and improvement of the circulation system to support existing and planned development in the City of Dinuba and to establish acceptable roadway service levels and identify improvements required to maintain the service levels.
The City of Dinuba General Plan contains the following Objectives and Policies related to the proposed project:
2.1 Roadway Classification, Standards
Objective A. Develop a circulation network of local roads, collectors, arterials that will meet projected traffic needs.
Objective B. Maintain a roadway level of service (LOS) of C or better on Local, Minor Collector, Collector and Arterial streets.
• Policy 2.1 All street and roadway improvements shall be in conformance with the Circulation Plan contained in the General Plan Map (reference map pocket). • Policy 2.5 The design of arterials, collectors, minor collectors, and local streets shall comply with the Standard Drawings and Specifications Manual of the City of Dinuba, as amended.
Arterials
• Policy 2.8 Alta and El Monte shall be developed with a minimum right-of-way of between 104’- 119’, to include four travel lanes, parking and/or bicycle lanes, and a two-way left center turn lane or landscaped median. Where widening these two arterials is neither feasible or practical, the right or way shall remain 96 feet. Other arterials (Kamm, Crawford, Nebraska, Road 72, Road 64 and Road 96) shall be developed with a minimum right-of-way of 104 feet, to include four travel lanes, parking, and a two-way left center turn lane or landscaped median. Reference Figure 2-3 of City 13 Introduction
of Dinuba General Plan.
• Policy 2.9 The primary purpose of arterials is to carry traffic. Parking should be prohibited on new arterials and discouraged along existing arterials as deemed appropriate by the City Council and as traffic safety conditions warrant.
• Policy 2.10 Arterials shall be built in areas where traffic demand warrants the development of this facility to meet the adopted level of service standard. • Policy 2.11 Arterial streets shall be built at a typical separation of one (1) mile. Major arterials shall be provided at two mile intervals.
Collectors
• Policy 2.12 Collectors are to be designed with an 80-94 foot right-of-way width which allows four individual travel lanes of traffic, or two lanes with a two-way left turn center lane. Minor collectors may be developed with a 58-foot right-of-way to include two travel lanes, a two-way left turn center lane, and parking. (Reference Figure 2-3 of City of Dinuba General Plan). • Policy 2.13 Collector streets shall be at approximately one-mile intervals centered between arterial streets and shall be planned to intersect with other streets so as to maximize traffic safety and discourage fast flowing-traffic through residential areas. Where possible, major arterials, minor arterials, and collectors shall form 4 leg, right angle intersections; jog, offset and skewed intersections of streets in near proximity shall be avoided where possible. • Policy 2.14 Minor collectors shall serve residential neighborhoods and provide for circulation between adjacent neighborhoods, but shall not be used to carry through traffic or high traffic volumes. Actual design and improvement to ultimate standards shall be achieved through development of small facilities by developers as areas adjoining the designated circulation system are developed, with allowance for bicycle lanes, where planned.
Other Street Standards
• Policy 2.15 Local residential street right-of-way shall be a minimum of 60 (36’ minimum curb to curb) feet which allows two travel lanes, parking, a parkway strip (7’ wide), and sidewalk (4.5’ wide).
• Policy 2.16 Arterial, collector and local street standards shall be developed which provide adequate capacity for their appropriate function, and these shall be incorporated into the City’s Standard Drawings and Specifications Manual. Half streets shall not be permitted. • Policy 2.17 Local streets shall not carry an unreasonable level of through traffic. If it is determined that a local street is carrying an unacceptable level of through traffic, the City may use appropriate means to reduce traffic through creation of one way traffic flow, installation of traffic calming devices, and/or any other means deemed to be acceptable under the Vehicle Code of the State of California. Traffic calming features in conformance with Table 2-1 (see City of Dinuba General Plan) are encouraged.
• Policy 2.18 The General Plan Circulation Plan shows the street system consisting of arterials and collectors. Designated arterials and collectors are as follows:
• Policy 2.19 Median breaks and driveway standards for arterial, collector and local streets directly 14 Introduction
affect the performance of these roadways, and the following minimum standards have been developed to facilitate the proper operation of these roadways:
Arterial Street Standards
a. Driveway access to major activity centers should be located no closer than 200 feet to the adjacent intersection of a collector or arterial street. (Measurement shall be from the curb return to the nearest edge of the driveway). If driveways must be provided near intersections for facilities (such as service stations) these driveways shall not be serviced by median breaks and shall be located no less than 50 feet from the intersection (measurement shall be from the curb return to the nearest edge of the driveway). If more than one driveway is required to serve a property, the driveways shall be separated by 50 feet (The 50 feet is to be measured edge to edge, not centerline to centerline).
b. The distance between driveways along commercially developed arterials should not be less than 400 feet (measurement shall be from centerline to centerline). Where this spacing is not practical, the development shall provide acceptable traffic mitigation measures in addition to those already required.
c. Where practical and desirable, driveways should be located on adjacent collector streets rather than on arterial streets.
d. Driveway consolidation shall be encouraged through joint access agreements along arterials where standards a. through e. are exceeded.
e. Full median breaks, where there is no adopted design, should provide access to collector streets and to major activity centers and should not be less than 200 feet from an adjacent intersection of an arterial or collector street, and not less than 1,000 feet between full median breaks on major arterials.
f. Arterial streets shall include landscaping in accordance with Figure 2-3 (See City of Dinuba General Plan .
Collector Street Standards
a. Driveway access to major activity centers should be located no closer than 150 feet to the adjacent intersection of a collector or arterial street (measurement shall be from the curb return to the nearest edge of the driveway). If driveways must be provided near intersections for facilities (such as service stations) these driveways shall not be serviced by median breaks and shall be located no less than 50 feet from the intersection (measurement shall be from the curb return to the edge of the driveway). If more than one is requested to serve a property, the driveways shall be separated by 50 feet, measured edge to edge, not centerline to centerline. b. The distance between driveways and intersecting local streets should not be less than 300 feet. (Measurement shall be from the curb return to the nearest edge of the driveway). Where this spacing is not practical, the development shall provide acceptable traffic mitigation measures in addition to those already required.
c. Driveways to residential property along collectors should be consolidated whenever possible. d. Concrete medians shall be provided on collectors where left turn control is needed and by 15 Introduction
painted medians on two way left turn pockets where appropriate. Where concrete medians are provided, median breaks should be spaced not less than 300 feet apart. e. Collectors shall include landscaping in conformance with Figure 2-3 (See City of Dinuba General Plan).
• Policy 2.20 The street network should provide a quick and effi cient route for emergency vehicles, including police, fire and other vehicles, when responding to calls for service. The length of single entry access routes shall be restricted.
• Policy 2.21 Standards for new street development can be altered or refined through the specific plan or planned unit development process where it can be demonstrated that projected traffic flows can be accommodated.
• Policy 2.23 City policy is to continue to provide a high level of service to the community. Therefore, the City designates Service Level “C” (ADT) as defined in the Highway Capacity Manual (published by the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council) as the minimum desirable service level at which arterial and collector streets should operate. All new facilities in these categories shall be designed to operate at this level or better for a period of at least 20 years following their construction. Level of Service “D” (peak hours) shall be deemed acceptable for those road segments and intersections which have been identified as already operating at that level.
• Policy 2.24 Traffic studies should be required, when necessary, to determine mitigation measures necessary to mitigate traffic impacts.
• Policy 2.25 Intersection improvements should be made to the existing major street system selectively through traffic engineering solutions rather than major structural improvements. This could include signalization, intersection channelization, use of directional signs, and diversion of traffic onto underutilized streets, or through sequential traffic signal timing. • Policy 2.26 City circulation system street alignments shall be coordinated with Tulare County circulation system street alignments.
• Policy 2.27 In order to promote safe and efficient traffic flow throughout the City, traffic signals shall be spaced no closer than 1/4 mile on arterials except in unusual circumstances. The intersections of arterial and collector streets and the access driveways to major traffic generators shall be located so as to maintain this minimum spacing.
• Policy 2.29 Promote the improvement of El Monte Way (Avenue 416) as the primary transportation access to the City from Highway 99. To this end, the City will cooperate with Tulare County, Fresno County, and CalTrans to prepare plan lines and secure funding for right-of-way, additional lanes, signalization, and streetscape improvements.
• Policy 2.30 The ultimate development of El Monte Way (Avenue 416) should include four travel lanes from Highway 99 through the City to Road 100.
• Policy 2.32 The circulation system shall be designed and developed to minimize excessive noise impacts on sensitive land uses and traffic congestion which would increase the rate of vehicle emissions. Development shall mitigate noise and emission impacts. 16 Introduction
2.2 Street Improvements
Objective. Protect rights-of-way for future street development by clearly defining the location of future rights-of-way and establishing street dedication requirements. Such methods should minimize adverse impacts on adjacent properties and avoid imposition of street improvement requirements significantly in advance of need.
• Policy 2.37 Establish official plan lines for all arterial and collector streets included in the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
• Policy 2.38 Official plan lines for El Monte Way, between Alta and Tulare, and for Alta Avenue, between El Monte and Vassar, should include potential abandonment or realignment of City streets which now intersect those streets at approximately a 45º angle. • Policy 2.40 Streets abutting new development shall be developed to handle bi-directional traffi c and at least one parking lane. Arterial half streets may be permitted when additional lanes are not necessary to support development. Half collector and local streets shall not be permitted.
2.4 Traffic Safety
Objective. Maximize the use of site planning techniques to improve traffic safety. • Policy 2.47 Provide left hand-turn lanes where necessary for access from arterials into high traffic commercial or multifamily developments.
• Policy 2.48 Project designs shall reflect options for reducing through traffic on local streets. • Policy 2.49 Promote design standards which allow for safe and efficient transport, delivery, loading and unloading of goods from service vehicles within commercial and industrial areas.
2.5 Alternative Transportation Modes
Objective. Promote the use of alternative modes of transportation • Policy 2.59 Provide reasonable accommodations for comfort and convenience for riders at major transit destinations so people can utilize the transit system safely and comfortably. The City shall determine such need based on site plan review procedure and other planning implementation methods.
• Policy 2.60 Major arterials, arterials, and collectors will be designed to allow transit vehicles to pull out of traffic. This policy may be implemented with either a continuous parking lane with bus stops, or with special bus pull out lanes.
• Policy 2.62 Encourage transit alternatives to meet the basic transportation needs of the young, the elderly, the handicapped, and individuals without access to an automobile.
2.6 Bicycle Facilities
Objective. Encourage the use of bicycles as a viable means of transportation. 17 Introduction
• Policy 2.65 The City will develop, through various funding mechanisms and sources, a city-wide bicycle/pedestrian path system. The bicycle/pedestrian path system will utilize existing or future railroad right-of-way and water courses such as Traver Creek. The path, which would be between 8 and 12 feet wide and off the roadway, could also include landscaping, lighting, mileage markers and directional signage and benches. Reference Figure 2-4 (See City of Dinuba General Plan) for the proposed bicycle/pedestrian city-wide path system.
• Policy 2.66 The City of Dinuba will work with the City of Reedley to connect the city-wide bicycle/ pedestrian trail system with a similar path system in Reedley. • Policy 2.67 Provide bikeway signage for Regional Bike Routes.
2.7 Pedestrian Facilities
Objective. Provide a safe walking environment for pedestrians. • Policy 2.70 Sidewalks, paths, and appropriate crosswalks should be located to facilitate access to all schools and other areas with significant pedestrian traffic. Whenever feasible, pedestrian paths should be developed to allow for unobstructed pedestrian flow from within a neighborhood. • Policy 2.71 Sidewalks shall be required in all areas of the community to accommodate pedestrian traffic, especially along routes with high pedestrian traffic such as schools, parks, and the Downtown area. Installation of these improvements shall be encouraged to the extent feasible in existing neighborhoods where they do not currently exist.
• Policy 2.73 Street lighting shall be provided for all public streets. • Policy 2.74 Pedestrian signals should be provided at all traffic signal locations. • Policy 2.75 Adequate sidewalk and park strip maintenance should be assured. Owners of abutting property shall be responsible for maintenance of sidewalks and park strips. City shall work to assist property owners, where possible.
2.11 Transportation System and Congestion Management
Objective A. Encourage the development of strategies for maximizing the efficiency of the existing street system.
Objective B. Promote a variety of public transit connections with other nearby cities and locations. • Policy 2.84 The City shall encourage the use of energy efficient and non polluting fuels and modes of transportation.
• Policy 2.85 Transportation System Management and Transportation Demand Management strategy should be used to mitigate traffic and parking congestion. Public transit, traffic management, ridesharing and parking management are to be used to the greatest extent practicable to implement transportation management strategies.

Roundabout Design Principles
Introduction
31 Introduction
Thoughtful roundabout design is essential in ensuring that a roundabout can adequately serve traffic demand, accommodate the range of users, and is appropriate for a given area. Features incorporated into roundabouts can determine what types of vehicles will be able to use the roundabout, the speed at which vehicles use the roundabout, and the comfort/safety of pedestrians and cyclists using the roundabout. At its core, roundabout design involves balancing the competing factors of operational efficiency and user safety to achieve the following key objectives:
• Slow entry speeds
• The appropriate number of lanes
• Smooth channelization
• Adequate accommodation for design vehicles
• A design that meets the needs of pedestrians and cyclists • Appropriate sight distance and visibility
This section will provide an overview of roundabout design principles and discuss the elements that guided the development of the five roundabouts discussed in this Study.
Guidance Documents
Guidelines from several documents were referenced while developing the proposed roundabout designs.
These documents vary in their level of technical detail, however each provided essential information to guide the development of roundabout designs.
Roundabouts: An Informational Guide (2010 NCHRP Report 672): NCHRP Report 672 was an update the the FHWA’s Roundabouts: An Informational Guide and provides a comprehensive guide to roundabout planning and design. This guide includes information on the design, use, signage, operation, and maintenance of roundabouts and discusses how the type of user should influence roundabout design.
California MUTCD 2014 Edition: The California MUTCD was last updated in 2014 by the Federal Highway Administration and provides detailed information on signage and markings for roundabout intersections. These guidelines were used to select appropriate signage and markings for the proposed roundabouts in the City of Dinuba.
Pedestrian Facilities Users Guide: Providing Safety and Mobility (2002): The Pedestrian Facilities Users Guide was published by the FHWA in 2002 and provides information on ensuring pedestrian and cyclist connectivity throughout a roundabout design. The guide also discusses roundabout accessibility for persons with disabilities.

Roundabout Design Principles
Introduction
32 Benefits of Roundabout Intersections
Safety
Several studies have shown that roundabouts are much safer than traditional intersections. According to studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts typically provide the following safety benefits to intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used for traffic control:
• A 37 percent reduction in overall collisions
• A 75 percent reduction in injury collisions
• A 90 percent reduction in fatality collisions
• A 40 percent reduction in pedestrian collisions
These safety benefits are due to the design and
geometry of roundabout intersections. Unlike
traditional intersections, which require drivers to cross perpendicular to the flow of conflicting traffic, drivers enter a roundabout at a congruous angle that all but
eliminates T-bone and head on collisions. These are
two of the most severe collisions as they are much
more likely to result in injuries and fatalities. The curved, yield-controlled entry also serves to reduce traffic
speeds for vehicles entering the roundabout, which
reduces the occurrence and severity of collisions.
Additionally, roundabouts have fewer conflict points. A conflict point is any point where the paths of two through or turning vehicles diverge, merge, or cross and where a collision can occur. As shown in Figure 3-3, there are 32 conflict points associated with a traditional intersection while there are only 8 conflict points at an equivalent roundabout.
Figure 3-2. Roundabout safety features. Source: FHWA
Figure 3-3. Conflict points at roundabouts vs. traditional intersections.
Roundabout Design Principles
33 Traffic Flow
Research shows that roundabouts reduce traffic congestion by moving cars through an intersection more quickly than a traditional intersection. This is because roundabouts are yield-controlled intersections, meaning that traffic is not required to stop at the intersection if the roundabout is empty.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, the ability of a roundabout to slow traffic speeds actually increases the rate at which cars are able to move through the intersection because the capacity of a roundabout is greater when the speed of circulating traffic is lower. A yield-controlled intersection requires drivers to look for gaps in the traffic flow in order to enter the circulating lane. When circulating traffic flow is faster, gaps must be wider for a driver to comfortably enter. This results in fewer opportunities for drivers to enter the circulating lane. Roundabouts that effectively slow traffic create more opportunities for drivers to enter the circulating lane because the gaps in circulating traffic can be narrower.
Operation and Maintenance Costs
Roundabouts offer significant long-term cost benefits over traditional signalized intersections. Roundabouts are generally cheaper to operate because they do not require the hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year. Additionally, the service life of a roundabout is approximately 25 years, while the service life of a typical traffic signal is approximately 10 years.
It should be noted that initial construction costs may be higher for roundabouts than traditional signalized intersections in areas where Right-of-Way acquisition costs are high and existing Right-of-Way is not available at the road junction. Additionally, landscaping costs can be higher depending on the landscaping of the central island and splitter islands.

Roundabout Design Principles
Introduction
34 Types of Circular Intersection
A roundabout is a type of circular intersection in which traffic is permitted to flow in one direction around a central island. In addition to roundabouts, there are three other types of circular intersections. These are listed and defined below. These definitions are provided by the NCHRP Roundabouts: An Informational Guide.
Rotaries: An old-style circular intersection common to the United States prior to the 1960s, are characterized by a large diameter [often greater than 300 ft (100 m)]. The diameter of a rotary is primarily a consequence of the length of the weaving section required between intersection legs. Unlike the modern roundabout, lane changes are typically required within a rotary for some movements. In addition, some rotaries operate with circulating traffic yielding to entering traffic, which can create congestion on the circulatory roadway. Circulating speeds are high due to the large diameter, making maneuvers within the circle more challenging. An example of a Rotary intersection is provided in Figure 3-5)
Signalized Traffic Circles: An old-style circular intersection used in some cities in the United States where traffic signals are used to control one or more entry–circulating point. As a result, signalized traffic circles have distinctly different operational characteristics from yield controlled roundabouts, with queue storage within the circulatory roadway and progression of signals required. Signalized traffic circles are distinct from roundabouts with pedestrian signals, as the entry–circulating point at a roundabout is still governed by a yield sign. An example of a signalized traffic circle is provided in Figure 3-6) Neighborhood Traffic Circles: Circular intersections that are typically built at the intersections of local streets for reasons of traffic calming and/or aesthetics. The intersection approaches may be uncontrolled or stop-controlled. They do not typically include raised channelization to guide the approaching driver onto the circulatory roadway. At some traffic circles, left-turning movements for larger vehicles are allowed to occur in front of the central island, potentially conflicting with other circulating traffic. Exhibit 1-5 shows examples of typical neighborhood traffic circles. The example in Portland, Oregon, is an allway stop-controlled intersection; the example in Seattle, Washington, is uncontrolled. An example of a neighborhood traffic signal is provided in Figure 3-7).

Roundabout Design Principles
Introduction
35 Introduction Modern Roundabouts: Roundabouts are the fourth subset of circular intersections with specific design and traffic control features. These features include yield control of all entering traffic, channelized approaches, and geometric curvature and features to induce desired vehicular speed levels. There are three types of roundabouts discussed in the NCHRP publication Roundabouts: An Informational Guide. These are miniroundabouts, single-lane roundabouts, and multilane roundabouts. An example of each of these is shown in Figures 3-8 through 3-9. Due to the location of the proposed roundabout sites, this Feasibility Study will focus on Single-lane and multilane roundabouts.
Single-Lane Roundabouts
Single Lane Roundabouts have a single-lane of entry at
all legs and one circulatory lane around the central island.
Their design typically includes raised splitter islands, a nontransversable central island, crosswalks, and a truck apron.
Single-lane roundabouts are designed for low-speed
operation and offer the greatest level of safety for users.
Traffic speeds on single-lane roundabouts is slower
than on multilane roundabouts, which creates a more
comfortable atmosphere for cyclists and pedestrians
using the intersection. Additionally, pedestrians only need to cross one lane of traffic at a time. For drivers, singlelane roundabouts have fewer conflict points than multilane roundabouts and drivers have no lane use decisions to
make.
Multilane roundabouts
Multilane roundabouts have at least one entry with two or more lanes, and can also include roundabouts with entries on one or more approaches that flare from one to two or more lanes. The number of circulatory lanes is based upon approach lane configurations. Vehicular speeds at the entry, on the circulatory roadway, and at the exit may be slightly higher than those for the single-lane roundabouts due to the increased roadway width. Multilane roundabouts
also have more conflict points and require pedestrians to cross two lanes of traffic, making multilane roundabouts slightly less safe than single-lane roundabouts. Multilane roundabout design typically includes raised splitter islands, a non-transversable central island, a truck apron, and
appropriate entry path deflection.

Roundabout Design Principles
36 Key Roundabout Features
Central Island
The main distinguishing feature of a roundabout intersection is a raised central island around which traffic flows. Central Islands control the direction of traffic and can act as an aesthetic feature. The size of central islands can vary depending on the desired speed of traffic flow. As shown in Figures 3-10 and 3-11, central islands can vary significantly in shape and size depending on the intersection’s location and context.
Figure 3-10. Oval central island. Figure 3-11. Peanut-shaped central island.
Splitter Island
A splitter island is a raised, triangle-shaped island located between entering and exiting vehicles at each two-way leg of a roundabout. Splitter islands are used to direct and slow entering and exiting traffic speeds and reduce pedestrian crossing distance by allowing pedestrians to cross one direction of traffic at a time.
Circulatory Roadway
Like the central island, the circulatory roadway is a key distinguishing feature of a roundabout intersection.
The circulatory roadway is the curved path used by vehicles to travel in a counterclockwise fashion around the central island. The radius of the central island and circulatory roadway is a key component in determining traffic speeds within the roundabout.
Entrance Line
The entrance line marks the point of entry into the
circulatory roadway. Entering vehicles must yield to
any circulating traffic before crossing this line into the circulatory roadway.
Figure 3-12. Single-lane roundabout
Roundabout Design Principles
37 Figure 3-13. Roundabout design features. Source: FHWA Roundabout Design Principles
Accessible Pedestrian Crossings
Pedestrian crossings should be provided at least 20 feet from the entrance line to give room for the vehicle to stop prior to the crosswalk but outside of the circulatory roadway. The crossing typically cuts through the splitter island at grade to allow pedestrians, wheelchairs, strollers, and bicycles to pass through. The pedestrian crossings must be accessible with detectable warnings and appropriate slopes in accordance with ADA requirements. Considerations for persons with disabilities are discussed further on page 41.
Truck Apron
A truck apron is a transversable portion of the central island adjacent to the circulatory roadway that may be needed to accommodate the wheel tracking of large vehicles. When
a large vehicle enters a turn, the rear wheels take a shorter path around the curve (see Figure 3-16). A truck apron is a raised section of concrete that helps to accommodate this off-tracking by acting as an extra lane. The back wheels of the large vehicle can ride up on the truck apron so the truck can complete the turn, while the raised portion of concrete discourages use by smaller vehicles.
Figure 3-16. Large vehicle wheel tracking.
Figure 3-14. Accessible Pedestrian Crossing
Figure 3-15. Large truck using truck apron on roundabout. 38 Roundabout Design Principles
Planning-Level Sizing and Space Requirements
Roundabout Sizing
The number of lanes a roundabout should have is determined based on existing and projected traffic volumes. The graph below provides a method for determining the number of lanes in a roundabout based on AADT and left-turn rates. This graph is only applicable at intersections where the ratio of peak-hour to daily traffic (K) is between 0.09-0.10, the direction distribution of traffic (D) is between 0.52-0.58, the ratio of minor street to total entering traffic is between 0.33-0.50, and the acceptable volume-to-capacity ratio is between 0.85-1.00.
Figure 3-17. Roundabout sizing graph. Source: NCHRP (2010) 39 Roundabout Design Principles
Table 6. Volume Thresholds for Determining the Number of Entry Lanes Required Volume Range (Ve+ Vc) Number of Lanes Required
0 - 1,000 vehicles/hour Single-lane entry likely to be sufficient 1,000 - 1,300 vehicles/hour Single-lane entry may be sufficient based upon more detailed analysis. Two-lane entry may be needed.
1,300 - 1,800 vehicles/hour Two-lane entry likely to be sufficient More than 1,8000 vehicles/hour More than two entering lanes may be required. A more detailed capacity evaluation should be conducted to verify lane numbers and arrangements.
User Considerations
Trucks
Roundabouts should be designed to accommodate the largest vehicles that will use the intersection. El Monte Avenue and Alta Avenue are both identified as Truck Routes by the City of Dinuba General Plan.
Therefore, it is critical that the roundabouts are designed to accommodate large trucks.
While roundabouts are typically designed to reduce traffic speeds (tight turning radii and narrow curbto-curb widths), designers must ensure that large vehicle drivers have the basic ability to travel through the intersection in areas where large trucks are present. Implementation of a truck apron can be helpful in accommodating the rear wheel tracking of large vehicles.
One potential obstacle to the effective use of truck aprons is lack of public knowledge. Many truck drivers do not realize that they are allowed to ride up onto the apron and that it is there specifically for that purpose.
Outreach to truck drivers is needed to ensure the apron will be used to effectively accommodate large vehicles.
Entry Sizing
The sum of entering (Ve) and conflicting (Vc) traffic
volumes (see Figure 3-17), can be used to evaluate
the number of lanes required at each entry. Table 6,
summarizes the number of lanes needed at each entry
based on the sum of these variables.
Figure 3-18. Entry sizing variables.
40 Roundabout Design Principles
Cyclists
Bicycle lanes are not recommended within the circulatory roadway of roundabouts because they have been shown to have negative impacts on cyclist safety. When bicycle lanes or shoulders are present on roads approaching the intersection, they should be terminated in advance of the roundabout.
Cyclists have the option to merge with traffic and travel through the roundabout as a “driver,” via the roundabout’s vehicular travel lanes, or exit the roadway onto the sidewalk and travel through the intersection as a “pedestrian.” In areas where higher vehicle travel speeds and/or traffic volumes are present, it is likely that more cyclists will choose to exit the roadway and use the roundabout’s sidewalks/crosswalks to move through the intersection. A bicycle ramp to facilitate movements from the bicycle lane/shoulder to the sidewalk should be provided at these locations.
Pedestrians
Roundabouts are generally safer for pedestrians than traditional intersections because traffic speeds are lower, crossing distances are shorter, and splitter islands permit pedestrians to only cross one direction of traffic at a time. Roundabouts should facilitate pedestrian connectivity by providing sidewalks on approaches and crosswalks at each leg of travel. Crosswalks should set back from the yield line by at least one car length. This allows an approaching driver to devote their attention to the crossing pedestrian while waiting for the driver ahead to enter the circulatory roadway. Additionally, this provides a shorter crossing distance when compared to a crossing directly adjacent to the circulatory roadway.
Visually Impaired
Unlike traditional stop or signal controlled intersections, yield controlled intersections require pedestrians to make decisions based on gaps in traffic flow. This presents a unique challenge for individuals with visual disabilities who must decide not only when to cross the road, but also determine where and in which direction to cross. Accessible pedestrian signals, such as an audible message accompanied by flashing crosswalk lights or signage, can be useful in alerting drivers that a pedestrian is crossing and increase safety for the visually impaired. Truncated domes (Figure 3-19) or other tactile paving is also needed to alert visually impaired pedestrians of crossing locations.
Figure 3-19. Crosswalk lighting. Figure 3-20. Truncated dome on sidewalk ramp. 41 Roundabout Design Principles
Landscaping
Aside from guiding the direction of traffic, the central island of a roundabout usually does not serve a functional purpose and should not be transversed by motorists, pedestrians or cyclists. The land within the central island is essentially free space that can be enhanced to become an aesthetic feature.
Enhancing the visual impact of a roundabout central island is usually achieved through landscaping.
Landscaping can be as simple or elaborate as is desired. Simple landscaping options include grass or other low maintenance ground cover. More elaborate designs include flowers, ornamental landscaping, and fountains. Regardless of the type of landscaping, it is important that the design does not obstruct driver views.
The central island of a roundabout also creates the opportunity for local governments to express community values and sense of identity. Public art (usually sculptures) can be used to decorate a roundabout and create a sense of place and community engagement. Public art should be inclusive and representative of the community’s character.

45 Introduction
The Design Concepts discussed in this chapter were developed by 4, Creeks, Inc., TJKM, and Yamabe & Horn Engineering. The roundabout designs proposed in this section integrate the design elements discussed in Section 3 - Roundabout Design Principles while taking into account the existing conditions at each intersection. The proposed designs are intended to accommodate existing and future travel demand and were developed based on traffic count data, where available.

Proposed Design Concepts
Introduction
46 W. El Monte & Road 56 Design Concept
The roundabout design for the E. El Monte & Road 56 intersection was developed by TJKM. Due to limitations related to Covid-19, traffic counts were not available for this intersection, however it was assumed that a single-lane roundabout would be sufficient to accommodate traffic based on the context and surrounding area.
The design proposes a single-lane roundabout with multi-lane entries from El Monte and single-lane entries from Road 56. Right-turn-only lanes are proposed along the El Monte Avenue legs to facilitate right turns onto Road 56 and to better conform to the existing two-lane roadway. Additionally, separating the right turns from the through movements will improve roundabout operations and prevent future delays.
A standard truck apron is proposed around the central island to accommodate large trucks, which frequently travel through the intersection. There are no existing bicycle or pedestrian facilities and the intersection is not in an area of significant pedestrian or cyclist travel. It is not anticipated that pedestrian or cyclist use will increase in the future . Therefore, no cyclist or pedestrian facilities are proposed. However, cyclists may use the vehicular travel lanes to move through the intersection if needed.

Although single-lane entries would have adequate capacity to serve the intersection, it was determined that providing right-turn-only lanes on roadway entries with two travel lanes would better conform with the existing roadway. Additionally, separating the right turns from the heavy through movements will improve roundabout operations and help maintain acceptable operation in the future.
A standard truck apron is proposed around the central island to accommodate large trucks, which frequently travel through the intersection. Crosswalks and sidewalks are proposed along all legs to accommodate pedestrian travel. The proposed sidewalks on the south-west corner will connect to existing sidewalk on the west side of Road 92, south of the intersection, and on the south side of El Monte, west of the intersection.
Sidewalks proposed on the north-west, north-east, and south-east corners will connect to future sidewalks along E. El Monte and Road 92 as these improvements are developed.
As discussed in Section 2, Class II bicycle facilities are present along the east and west legs of the intersection along El Monte Avenue. Bike ramps are proposed to accommodate cyclists who wish to travel through the intersection as a pedestrian. Sharrows are proposed within the circulatory roadway for cyclists wishing to move through the intersection using the vehicular travel lanes.

Introduction
48 Alta Avenue & Nebraska Avenue Design Concept
The roundabout design for the Alta Avenue & Nebraska Avenue intersection was developed by Yamabe & Horn Engineering. It was determined that a single-lane roundabout and single-lane entries would have adequate capacity to serve the intersection under existing and future conditions. Landscaping is proposed to reduce the travel width from the existing 80’ ROW along Alta Avenue to a single entry and exit lane. This will improve safety at the intersection by reducing traffic speeds.
Splitter islands are proposed on all four legs to slow and direct traffic. The splitter island on the southern leg was broken into three pieces in order to provide access to residences along Alta Avenue. A standard truck apron is proposed around the central island to accommodate large trucks, which frequently travel through the intersection.
Sidewalks and crosswalks are proposed on all legs of the intersection to accommodate pedestrian travel.
It is proposed that the crosswalks bend as they intersect the splitter islands in order to orient pedestrians towards oncoming traffic and improve safety. The proposed sidewalks will connect future sidewalks along Alta Avenue and Nebraska Avenue as these improvements are developed. Bicycle ramps are proposed on all four legs of the intersection to facilitate bicycle movements from the roadway to the sidewalk.

Introduction
49 Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Design Concept Introduction The roundabout design for the Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue intersection was developed by 4-Creeks, Inc.
The design proposes a two-lane roundabout with multi-lane entries from Alta Avenue and Kamm Avenue.
Drivers are directed to use the outer lane for right turns and the inner lane for through traffic and left turns. Although single-lane entries would have adequate capacity to serve the intersection under existing conditions, traffic volumes are expected to significantly increase upon development of the planned high school on the southwest corner of the intersection. It was determined that a multi-lane roundabout would be best to maintain acceptable operation in the future and prevent traffic delays during peak travel periods.
A standard truck apron is proposed around the central island to accommodate large trucks. Crosswalks and sidewalks are proposed along all legs to accommodate pedestrian travel. The proposed sidewalks on the south-east corner will connect to existing sidewalk south side of Kamm Avenue, east of the intersection, and on the east side of Alta Avenue, south of the intersection. Sidewalks proposed on the south-west corner of the intersection will connect to planned sidewalk facilities upon the development of the new high school.
Sidewalks on the northeast and northwest corners will connect to future sidewalk facilities as those areas are developed in the future. A s discussed in Section 2, Class II Bicycle lanes are present along the north and south legs of Alta Avenue and east of the intersection along Kamm Avenue. Bike ramps are proposed to accommodate cyclists who wish to travel through the intersection using pedestrian facilities. Alternatively, cyclists can merge with vehicular traffic and use vehicular traffic lanes to move through the intersection.

50 Alta Avenue & Avenue 400 Design Concept
The roundabout design for the Alta Avenue & Avenue 400 intersection was developed by TJKM. The design proposes a single-lane roundabout with multi-lane entries from Alta Avenue and single-lane entries from Avenue 400. Right-turn-only lanes are proposed along the Alta Avenue legs to facilitate right turns onto Avenue 400. Although single-lane entries would have adequate capacity to serve the intersection, it was determined that providing right-turn-only lanes at entries from Alta Avenue would better conform to the existing 4-lane roadway. Additionally, it was found that while the rate of right turns is not necessarily high, the northbound and southbound through movement is high and right tun movements are higher than left turns on Alta Avenue. Separating the right turns from the heavy through movement traffic will improve roundabout operations and help to avoid future delays.
A standard truck apron is proposed around the central island to accommodate large trucks, which frequently travel through the intersection. There are no existing bicycle or pedestrian facilities and the intersection is not in an area of significant pedestrian or cyclist travel. It is not anticipated that pedestrian or cyclist use will increase in the future . Therefore, no cyclist or pedestrian facilities are proposed. However, cyclists may use the vehicular travel lanes to move through the intersection if needed.
Existing culverts are located along the north side of El Monte, east of the intersection, and along the west side of Avenue 400, south of the intersection. It is proposed that the roundabout be constructed slightly west of the existing centerline along Avenue 400 in order to avoid construction in the culvert.

Proposed Design Concepts
Preliminary Landscaping Concept Plan
The proposed roundabouts are intended to act as entrances into the City of Dinuba and would be appropriate locations for decorative landscaping and welcome/monument signage. Landscaping should be similar in style to the landscaping used in the City’s medians and parks and consistent with the City of Dinuba Landscaping and Design Guidelines. It should be noted that the contents of this section are intended to guide the development of a final landscaping plan, and that a final landscaping plan should be prepared by a qualified landscape architect prior to project implementation.
Central Islands
Landscaping is proposed within the central islands of all roundabouts proposed by this study. Central islands should be landscaped with shrubs and ornamental vegetation that allow adequate sight distance for vehicles and pedestrians. Sculptures, or other public artwork, may be incorporated into the design to enhance the visual character. Plants should be selected based on their ability to provide a variety of colors and textures and spaced to fill in 80% of the central island area within two years after planting.
Groundcover coverage should be 100% in one year. A sample plant list for central island landscaping is provided below.
• Yeddo Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis umbellata)
• Chinese Red Fringe Flower
• Privet (Ligustrum japonicum)
• Dianella (Cassa Blue or Clarity Blue)
• Fortnight Lily (Butterfly Iris)
• Asian Star Jasmine
• Lantana
• Red & Yellow Yucca
• “Flamingo Glow” Yucca/Lily (Beschorneria yuccoides)
• Agave “Blue Glow”
Welcome signs or monument signs are an effective tool to create a sense of identity in a public space, and can be incorporated into the roundabout central island landscaping plan to inform drivers of where they are and provide aesthetic benefits. “Welcome to Dinuba” monument signage is proposed at the intersections of W. El Monte & Road 56, W. El Monte & Road 92, N. Alta & Nebraska, and S. Alta & Kamm Avenue. Monument signage may be implemented at S. Alta & Avenue 400 instead of S. Alta & Kamm Avenue at the City’s discretion.
Planter Strips and Splitter Islands
Landscaping is proposed within all splitter islands wider than 8 feet and within planter strips, where applicable. Plants should be selected based on their ability to provide low maintenance, drought tolerant ground cover and should be spaced to provide 100% ground cover in 1 year. Sod should not be used within planter strips or splitter islands. Decorative hardscaping is proposed where splitter islands are less than 8 feet wide.

Introduction
55 Feasibility Study Implementation
This planning study was developed to assess the feasibility of roundabout intersections at five key locations that serve as access points to the City of Dinuba. It is intended to serve as a planning-level study to guide the development of roundabout designs at these intersections. Implementation of the Study is based on the following assumptions:
• All improvements will be consistent with the City of Dinuba General Plan, as well as all other applicable agency standards.
• Implementation of the proposed design concepts identified in this feasibility study will occur as funding sources become available. This may be in phases depending on the funding source and timing availability.
• Project funding is able to be obtained locally or through State and Federal funding sources. • Land necessary to accommodate the footprint of the proposed roundabout can be reasonably obtained through Right of Way Acquisitions.
Based on these assumptions, all five intersections involved in this study are considered to be feasible locations for roundabout intersections, and the designs provided in Section 4 - Proposed Design Concepts are appropriate to accommodate existing and future uses. This section will strategies necessary to achieve project implementation, including Right-of-Way acquisition, environmental review and compliance, and financial planning.
Action Plan and Implementation
Right of Way Acquisition
Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisition is the act of acquiring land or easements to complete a project. ROW acquisitions will be required for four of the intersections prior to project implementation. The roundabout at El Monte & Road 56 is the only intersection that will not require ROW acquisition because existing ROW is sufficient to accommodate the proposed design. Land that will need to be acquired by the City prior to project implementation is shown in Figures 5-1 - Figure 5-4, and a summary of ROW acquisition requirements is provided in Table 7. It should be noted that ROW area calculations are approximate and based off of conceptual designs. Property boundary surveys and final designs will be needed to determine exact ROW acquisition requirements.

57 Environmental Review and Compliance Process
It is likely that all five proposed roundabouts will require federal funding and will therefore be subject to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The federal agency that is providing project funding will be responsible for complying with the requirements of NEPA, while the City of Dinuba and/or Tulare County will act as Lead Agency pursuant to CEQA guidelines.
It is anticipated that the environmental impacts associated with Plan implementation will be adequately accounted for under a Finding of No Significant Impact under NEPA and a Negative Declaration under CEQA, however the final determination regarding the appropriate environmental compliance documents will be made by the federal agency carrying out the federal action and the City of Dinuba and/or Tulare County as Lead Agencies pursuant to NEPA and CEQA guidelines.

Financial Plan
Because implementation of the proposed design concepts is completely dependent on the acquisition of adequate funding, cost estimates and identification of potential funding sources is necessary to ensure the practicality of this study. This section will discuss the estimated costs of proposed design concepts and identify potential funding sources to support project implementation.
Project Costs
Preliminary cost estimates for implementation of four of the proposed design concepts were developed by 4-Creeks. Cost estimates for the N. Alta & Nebraska Avenue roundabout were developed by Yamabe & Horn Engineering. These estimates should be used as a guideline for funding requests and scheduling.
It should be noted that cost estimates are based off of preliminary designs and assumed project extents (i.e. length of road reconstruction) and cost estimates may need to be updated throughout the design and approval process as more information becomes available. 58 Action Plan and Implementation

64 Action Plan and Implementation
Potential Funding Sources
Successful implementation of the design concepts proposed by this Feasibility Study will require acquisition of reliable funding. Funding for design concept implementation may be obtained locally or through State and Federal Grant programs. Although local funding sources are often more reliable, State and Federal grants should be pursued to supplement project implementation.
The number and type of grant and loan programs available to public agencies in any given year can vary significantly based on Legislature appropriations. Many of the grant programs below are on-going with rounds of grant monies provided upon availability of funding. The grant and loan programs listed below are not exhaustive and should be updated regularly upon implementation of any design concepts proposed by this feasibility. The City of Dinuba will be responsible for developing individual applications in response to grant program solicitations.
Federal Funding Sources
• Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program: The CMAQ program provides a flexible funding source to State and local governments for transportation projects and programs that help to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. The program funds projects that reduce congestion and improve air quality for aras that do not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (nonattainment areas) and for former nonattainment areas that are now in compliance maintenance areas). This program is funded through the FAST act.
• Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act: A fairly flexible program to provide federal funding to state and regional governments for transportation related projects and programs. The AID Demonstration program, Safe Routes to School program, Transportation Enhancements Program, and Transportation Alternatives Program grants are also provided under the FAST Act. • Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) program: The BUILD Transportation Discretionary Grant program, previously known as the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program, provides fundings funding for selected projects and programs based on considerations for safety, economic competitiveness, quality of life, environmental sustainability, state of good repair, innovation, and partnershop. The Department of Transportation (DOT) website states that the DOT intends to award 50% of BUILD transportation grant funding to projects located in rural areas to deliver positive benefits to these communities. • Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) discretionary grant program: Provides funding to State and regional governments for public infrastructure projects. • Transportation, Community, and System Preservation Program (TCSP): TCSP is intended to address the relationships among transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices and identify private sector-based initiatives to improve those relationships. State and local governments, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and tribal governments are eligible for discretionary grants, authorized at $270 million through 2009, to carry out eligible projects to integrate transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices. 65 Action Plan and Implementation
State Funding Sources
• Low Carbon Transportation Investments and Air Quality Improbement Program: The Low Carbon Transportation Investments and the Air Quality Improvement Program is funded through Capand-Trade auction proceeds and provides funding for projects that reduce transportation-related emissions.
• California Department of Housing and Community Development Block Grant Program:
Provides funding for projects related to housing, public works, and community facilities for low-income areas.
• Road Repair and Accountability Act (SB1): Provides increased funding to fix roads, freeways, and bridges in communities across California with funds split equally between State and Local Investments. • Transportation Development Act (TDA): the TDA provides funding to be allocated to transit and non-transit related purposes that comply with regional transporation plans. The act establishes two funding sources; the Local Transporation Fund (LTF), and the State Transit Assistance (STA) fund. LTF may be usd by counties with a population under 500,000 for local streets and roads, construction, and maintenance. STA funding can only be used for transportation planning and mass transportation purposes.
• San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD): Provides funding for a variety of local transportation related projects that support the goals of the SJVAPCD. These include funds for bike paths, electric vehicle charging stations, and public transportation subsidies. 66 Action Plan and Implementation
Project Prioritization
It is unlikely that funding will be available to implement all five intersections simultaneously. Therefore, it is important to prioritize projects that will provide the greatest community benefit first. Flexibility should be given with regard to priority order, as projects may need to be implemented out of sequence based on funding availability and readiness to proceed.
There are a number of ways projects may be prioritized. The City of Dinuba may choose to prioritize projects based on collision rates for each intersection. Because roundabouts greatly reduce the chance of injury or fatality in the event of a collision, this method of project prioritization would be the most beneficial to public safety. Using the collision history discussed in Section 3, this method would prioritize the proposed roundabout projects in the following order:
1. Alta Avenue & Road 56
2. Alta Avenue & Avenue 400
3. El Monte & Road 92
4. Alta Avenue & Nebraska Avenue
5. Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue
Roundabout intersections also offer substantial benefits related to traffic flow. Because traffic delay has a direct effect on greenhouse gas emissions and air quality, the City of Dinuba may choose to prioritize projects based on traffic volumes to maximize emissions reduction benefits. The proposed projects would be prioritized in the order below using this method. The Alta/Avenue 56 intersection is not included in this prioritization list because traffic counts were not available at the time of this study due to COVID-19.
1. Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue
2. Alta Avenue & Avenue 400
3. Alta Avenue & Nebraska Avenue
4. El Monte & Road 92
The City may wish to consider other factors as they determine the most appropriate way to prioritize the proposed projects. Potential considerations include pedestrian volume, future development (such as the planned high school at Alta & Kamm) or community input. The City of Dinuba has the option to select a method of prioritization at the acceptance of this plan or at a later date. 67 City Council Staff Report
Department: PUBLIC WORKS July 9, 2024
To: Mayor and City Council
From: George Avila, Public Works Director
By: Anna Santillan, Fiscal Analyst I
Subject:
Resolution No. 2024-52 Authorizing Execution of Program Supplement for the use of Measure R funds for the El Monte Way Corridor Improvements Project Phase 2 (GA)
RECOMMENDATION
Council to adopt Resolution No. 2024-52 approving a Program Supplement for the use of Measure R funds in the amount of $700,000 for design and ROW acquisition for Phase 2 of the El Monte Way Corridor Improvements Project and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the required documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Measure R Expenditure Plan includes funding for enhancing El Monte Way across the length of the City of Dinuba. Phase 2 of these improvements includes the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of El Monte & Perry. The approval of the subject Program Supplement will allow the city to access $700,000 for the design and ROW acquisition for this project.
OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.
DISCUSSION
In September 2020 the City Council was presented with a comprehensive Roundabout Feasibility Study that identifies future roundabouts at various major intersections. One of the sites identified is the intersection of E. El Monte Way and Perry Avenue. A new roundabout at this location would improve traffic flow, capacity, and enhance vehicular and pedestrian safety. The Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) is supportive of the city's efforts to construct roundabouts at major intersections.
Funding for the design/engineering and right-of-way (ROW) acquisition for the El Monte/Perry roundabout can be earmarked out of the city's Measure R Avenue 416 Improvements Project allocation. A total of $350,000 for professional engineering and a total of $350,000 for ROW is available for the subject project. In order to program the funds, TCAG requires that the City Council formalize this action by adopting a resolution approving a Measure R Program Supplement. A copy of the resolution and program supplement is enclosed herein as Attachment 'A' and Attachment 'B', respectively.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated cost to complete design/engineering and ROW acquisition is $700,000. This entire amount would be funded with measure R funds.

RECOMMENDATION
Council to accept the 2023-24 Year-in-Review as an informational item.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The past year has been very productive. City staff has worked diligently to ensure that Council goals are met while providing a high level of customer service to the community.
OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.
DISCUSSION
As outlined in the memo enclosed herein as Attachment 'A', the City of Dinuba accomplished many key goals and objectives set forth by the City Council. These activities were carried out and accomplished with the hard work and dedication of all City staff.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty over sales tax revenues as a result of the CDTFA audit, the City was able to maintain current staffing and service levels while adopting a balanced budget across all fund types. This is no small feat considering the considerable amount of sales tax revenues at stake. Staff continues to work with the CDTFA on a fair and equitable settlement of the sale tax issue and hopes to have a resolution in the coming months.
While recruitment continues to be a challenge, particularly in public safety, all departments have been able to fill some key positions in their respective departments.
The Fire Department is the one department that continues to be challenged with recruiting single-role paramedics. This seems to be an industry-wide challenge that we hope is cyclical in nature and will resume to some state of normalcy. Chief Chastain is exploring strategies to increase recruitment.
Many critical capital projects were completed are started in the past fiscal year. The new clarifier at the wastewater treatment plant was completed and is now operational.
This will provide much needed treatment capacity and redundancy at the plant.
Various streets throughout the community were rehabilitated with slurry seal and new striping including the addition of bike lanes on major corridors.
Significant improvements have also been completed at City parks. New basketball courts, solar lighting, and walking trail were installed at KC Vista Park providing much more active and passive activities during the day and into the evening hours. The new Viscaya Neighborhood Park broke ground in June and is the first park to be developed in over 30 years. This park has been long overdue and will provide a significant source of recreational opportunities to the community.
Several major new vehicles and equipment were purchased to ensure staff has the tools that they need to carry out their jobs. A new 105' fire ladder truck and new fire engine were ordered. The lead time for these specialty vehicles is about 18 months.
The Fire Department expects to receive them in 2025. A new ambulance was also purchased thanks to funding from the Alta Healthcare District.
In addition to funding new vehicles and equipment, the Alta Healthcare District Board approved a $490,000 grant to fund three (3) full-time EMTs and purchase one new ambulance very 18 months. The new staffing will help with coverage and reduce the number of EMS calls are not referred to private ambulance companies.
Some new businesses opened, and others are slated for the coming year. Of major significance is the re-tenanting of the Mercantile Row Shopping Center on the eastside. This center has remained dormant for decades with many vacant spaces.
The center is now home to several new businesses including Sequoia Foods, Brochettes Euro-Mediterranean Grill, and Superior Grocers. Five Below, a second Starbucks and Tulare Works are expected to open soon.
Lastly, to handle and plan for expected growth around the new Dinuba High School staff retained a consultant to prepare a focused General Plan Update. The update made several changes to land uses around the new High School to ensure that sufficient land is available to accommodate demand for new residential developments once the school is completed.
