REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 7.34 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL

CODE PERTAINING TO FIREWORKS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council waive the second reading by title only and adopt an Ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 7.34 of the King City Municipal Code Pertaining to Fireworks.

BACKGROUND:

In 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 691 establishing Chapter

7.34 of the King City Municipal Code governing the limited allowance of the sale and use of safe and sane fireworks in the City limits. Section 7.34.030(c) calls for the City Council, in the calendar month of January, to set by Resolution or by minute order the number of permits to be issued for the sale of safe and sane fireworks, the form of application for such permit and for the method of selection.

Staff have completed their annual review of the process. Some minor changes are proposed to the process set forth in the Municipal Code, fees and due dates.

An Ordinance with the recommended changes was presented to the City Council at the January 14th meeting, which was unanimously introduced.

DISCUSSION:

There were some issues identified last year regarding inconsistencies with the Municipal Code provisions involving deadlines for submitting specific documentation. Currently, submittal of the application is required the first week in March, and permittees are selected by the end of March. Submittal of final paperwork is required by mid-April. However, the Municipal Code requires the

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-833

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: STEVEN ADAMS, CITY MANAGER
RE: CONSIDERATION SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 20.04 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL

CODE PERTAINING TO ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council waive the second reading by title only and adopt an Ordinance amending Municipal Code Chapter 20.04 of the King City Municipal Code Pertaining to Administrative Citations.

BACKGROUND:

The Municipal Code sets forth that fine amounts for administrative citations shall be set forth in a schedule of fines established by City Council Resolution. The City’s schedule of fines was last updated in 2002. As a result, staff have begun working on the process of drafting a new schedule of fines to ensure it is accurate and can be easily updated on a regular basis in the future. As part of the process, a minor amendment to the Ordinance is recommended to help ensure that the public has easy access to the fine amounts to support adopting the fines by Resolution rather than Ordinance. The proposed Ordinance was introduced by the City Council at the January 14th meeting.

DISCUSSION:

Update of the fine schedule is labor intensive because many of the fines have been established and/or changed by Ordinances amending different sections of the Municipal Code regarding specific violations. Therefore, some citations have been established by Ordinance and others by Resolution, which makes a comprehensive update challenging.

ORDINANCE NO. 2025-834

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
KING, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 20.04 OF
TITLE 20 OF THE KING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE,

ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS

WHEREAS, the City establishes administrative fine amounts for penalties for violations related to Municipal Code Violations; and
WHEREAS, the King City Municipal Code sets forth a requirement to establish and amend fine amounts by adopting a Resolution approving a fine schedule; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to modify the fine schedule provisions to better ensure public access to fine amounts.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KING FINDS AND ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The above recitals are all true and correct and are hereby adopted as findings.

SECTION 3. The Sub-Section of Chapter 20.04, Section 20.04.040 of the King City Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2025
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OCTAVIO HURTADO, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY

ENGINEER
RE: CONSIDERATION OF SALINAS VALLEY SAFE ROUTES TO

SCHOOLS PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council adopt the final Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan.

BACKGROUND:

The Transportation Agency for Monterey County, Monterey County Health Department, Ecology Action, and the cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City have partnered to develop the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan ("Plan"). The three-year planning process identified barriers to safe access to 22 public schools in South Monterey County cities and recommended infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements.

The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan identifies barriers to safe, convenient transportation and will guide future improvements around 22 public schools in five school districts. Recommendations included in the Plan are designed to help address school-based traffic congestion and improve student health by fostering increased biking, walking, and carpooling. The project team, comprised of staff from the Transportation Agency, County Health Department, Public Works staff from the four cities, School Districts, and non-profit Ecology Action, have engaged administrators, parents, and students in school bike/walk assessments, mapping activities, street demonstrations, and surveys.

The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan kicked off in spring 2022 and outreach began in the City of King in fall 2022. The planning team conducted walking audits at each of the five public schools in King City, gave 11 presentations

at parent meetings, and received 358 responses to an online parent survey. In spring 2023, the planning team drafted and received community input on a list of infrastructure and non-infrastructure recommendations around the King City schools. The planning team planned and implemented four pilot projects, one in each city, to demonstrate some of the recommendations included in the plan and get community feedback. The King City pilot project was held on Collins Street in spring 2024. The planning team also formed a Steering Committees in each of the four cities. Steering Committees led a democratic process, called Participatory Budgeting, where community members vote to decide how public funds are spent.

TAMC is providing up to $250,000 to each city to implement the highest voted projects.

DISCUSSION:

TAMC staff provided a presentation on the draft plan at the November 26th, 2024 meeting. They are now requesting adoption of the final Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan, including infrastructure recommendations to improve access to the five public schools in King City. The Executive Summary is included as an attachment to this report, and the full Plan for King City is linked below. Once the Plan has been adopted, the Cities of Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City and TAMC staff will pursue funding to implement recommendations in the Plan.

The Plan includes Citywide recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian corridor improvements, as well as recommendations around each school site and noninfrastructure recommendations for education and encouragement programs. All recommendations are planning-level and require further analysis prior to construction.

The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available. With limited funding, the City of King must decide how to prioritize the recommendations. The Plan identifies a list of nine high-priority corridors that were evaluated based on common grant criteria. These corridors were scored to help City staff and decision-makers prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant opportunities. Grant programs often prioritize largescale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets in King City rather than individual projects.

Some projects that are low cost and have community support can be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and installed as part of ongoing road maintenance. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for a highly cost-effective strategy for implementing the projects included in this plan. For larger projects, leveraging

local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. Having an approved Safe Routes to Schools Plan in place is a strategy to make Salinas Valley cities more competitive in future grant applications for construction funding.

COST ANALYSIS:

TAMC secured grant funding to develop the Plan through Caltrans’ Sustainable Transportation Planning grant program and provided Measure X Safe Routes to School Program matching funds. King City staff have contributed staff time to develop the plan. Implementation will depend upon future grants, so there is no cost impact projected from the recommended action.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

This is a Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), the Monterey County Health Department, and Ecology Action project rather than a Citysponsored project. Therefore, the City is not the lead agency. The project will improve safety and has no potential for resulting in either a direct or indirect negative impact to the environment.

Staff has performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project and has determined that it falls within the Class 1 Categorical Exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines, section 15301 as this project is for the temporary alteration paint markings for a school drop off zone located on Collins Street between North San Lorenzo and North Russ Street, which will not result in the expansion of capacity of Collins Street. Furthermore, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, section 15300.2 apply to this project.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:

1. Adopt the final Salinas Valley Safe Routes to School Plan; or

2. Request consideration of changes to the final plan.

3. Do not adopt the final plan; or

4. Provide staff other direction.

Executive Summary 5
Executive Summary
The Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan describes communityidentified needs and recommendations for infrastructure projects and programs that support walking, bicycling, and carpooling to 22 schools in Gonzales, Soledad, Greenfield, and King City. The plan also identifies possible funding sources and implementation priorities. The recommendations in this plan are aimed at supporting healthy communities, improving affordable transportation options for low-income and vulnerable residents, and helping the four cities improve safety and meet statewide goals to address climate change by reducing vehicle miles traveled.

This plan was funded with a Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and local matching funds, and it is aligned with the regional and statewide plans and concepts included in the Caltrans District 5 Active Transportation Plan.

The vision for all students and families following the implementation of the Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan is as follows:
• I can walk or bike to school safely.
• My trip to school helps our environment, builds healthy habits, and saves my family money.
• I am more connected to my neighborhood and community through my trip to school.
• I have the skills and confidence I need to travel to school safely without using a car.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 10
Goals and Objectives
The cities of Gonzales, Greenfield, King City, and Soledad and partner agencies have set the following goals and objectives for the future of Safe Routes to Schools, to be accomplished through the projects and programs in this plan.

Goal 1. Encouragement: The majority of children will arrive at school by foot, bicycle, scooter, skateboard, bus, or carpool.
• Objective 1.1: Identify and promote a broad spectrum of projects to provide a connected network of active transportation options along Safe Routes to Schools corridors and connections.
• Objective 1.2: Design and construct street improvements that are accessible and comfortable for all ages and abilities. Incorporate tree planting into active transportation projects to provide shade for people who are walking and bicycling.
• Objective 1.3: Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC), schools, and the cities will support events that encourage active transportation to school, such as “Walk & Roll to School,” at least twice a year.
• Objective 1.4: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to provide walking school buses at all elementary schools. • Objective 1.5: Work with schools and Safe Routes to Schools partners to promote Safe Routes to Schools corridors as the preferred routes to school.

Goal 2. Safety: Zero collisions involving bikes or pedestrians that result in injury or death.
• Objective 2.1: Prioritize Safe Routes to Schools projects that address fatal and severe-injury crashes.
• Objective 2.2: Prioritize projects on school routes that reduce traffic speeds to 25 mph or less and increase the separations between pedestrians and bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic.
• Objective 2.3: Enhance low-stress alternative routes to high-stress corridors.
• Objective 2.4: Prioritize safety over travel speed, convenience, and congestion reduction in project design.

Executive Summary 11
• Objective 2.5: Crossing guards will be present at all elementary schools. • Objective 2.6: Provide annual updates on safety projects and traffic collisions to governing bodies.

Goal 3. Education: All children in the Salinas Valley will receive traffic safety education.
• Objective 3.1: Incorporate bicycle and pedestrian safety education into the curriculum in all elementary schools.
• Objective 3.2: By second grade, all children will receive pedestrian safety training in school; by fifth grade, all children will receive bike safety training in school.
• Objective 3.3: By high school, students will know the basics of bike maintenance and have opportunities to practice these skills at school or in the community.

Goal 4. Engagement: Engage the greater community to create safe environments around schools.
• Objective 4.1: Run annual community-wide campaigns that encourage neighbors to keep eyes on the streets and drivers to slow down around schools.
• Objective 4.2: Enforce traffic laws in school zones without overburdening offenders. An example would be a diversion program that requires school-zone traffic offenders to assist with crossing guard duties (Austin, TX program model).
• Objective 4.3: Recruit volunteers from the community to assist with Safe Routes to Schools programs such as walking school buses and crossing guards.

Goal 5. Equity: Ensure that all community members have equitable access to schools and Safe Routes to Schools programming.
• Objective 5.1: Prioritize infrastructure projects that serve transportationdisadvantaged and special-needs populations. • Objective 5.2: Provide opportunities for a diverse group of community members to take leadership roles in the development and implementation of Safe Routes to Schools projects and programs. An example would be positions on a Safe Routes to Schools steering committee. • Objective 5.3: Provide access to active transportation and safety equipment such as bicycles, scooters, helmets, and lights.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 12
Outreach Summary
Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan.

The planning team developed an outreach plan and sought input from community members to understand school transportation needs and barriers and to refine their draft recommendations. Parent and student surveys, presentations at parent meetings, and walking audits with school staff all contributed to the team’s understanding of barriers to walking and biking to school in Salinas Valley cities and the types of improvements community members would like to see.

In addition, Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities to lead a participatory budgeting process. This is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. The Steering Committees were made up of representatives from each city, including students, parents, school staff, advocates, and residents. Each Steering Committee met monthly for nine months to review project recommendations and design an election process for learning from the community about the highest priority projects in the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to construct the highest-priority projects.

Project Prioritization
Key routes to school in each of the four cities were ranked to help decision makers and City staff prioritize projects and identify the most competitive projects for various grant funding opportunities.

Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications will likely focus on improvements to one or more streets in each city.

The corridors below were evaluated on four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced-price meal data, which is an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 1.

Table 1: Criteria for Project Prioritization
Criterion Description Max Points
Safety
The following points are awarded for bicycle and pedestrian collisions in the last 10 years within 150 ft of the corridor, for a maximum of 30 points:
• 5 points per fatal or severe-injury collision.
• 1 point per other-visible-injury or complaint-of-pain collision. 30 Access to Key
Destinations
10 points for every school within 500 ft of the corridor and 5 points for every park, library, and recreation center, for a max of 25 points.
25 Equity 20 points if the project is located within an area designated as disadvantaged. 20
CommunityIdentified
Need
15 points if the project or location was identified by 10+ members of the community during project outreach.

Approved Projects
Participatory budgeting is a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to construct the highest-priority projects, and Steering Committees were formed in each of the four cities to lead a participatory budgeting process to determine the highest priority projects. The following projects were awarded funding through this process.

KING CITY
5 CHAPTER
Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 202
King City
Existing Conditions
This chapter discusses current conditions in King City related to walking, bicycling, and transit use. This includes citywide demographics and commute trends, land use and community destinations, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, transit options, collision data related to walking and bicycling, bicycle and pedestrian projects that are currently in progress, and existing programs.

Demographics
King City was home to an estimated 14,216 people in
2024.1 The city has a large youth population, with 36% of residents being under the age of 18.2 Seniors represent a smaller proportion, with 8% of residents being over the age of 65.2 The median age is 28.5, which is lower than the median age for Monterey County as a whole.

Among King City residents, 20% identify as white, 87% as Hispanic or Latino, and 4% as Asian. Fifty-one percent of residents did not finish high school, 22% completed high school as their highest level of education. Twenty-seven percent have at least some higher education, and 9% have either a bachelor’s or a graduate degree.2
Active transportation investments are especially important in disadvantaged communities, which tend to have higher rates of walking and bicycling. According to the California Department of Education, 84% of students in King City
public schools qualify for free and reduced meals, which is a sign of low-income status,3 63% of households have incomes of less than $50,000 per year, and 14% of families with children under the age of 18 have incomes below the poverty level.4

Commute Trends
An estimated 5,402 King City residents over the age of 16 are employed, and 56% of those drive to work alone. King City has a lower rate of driving to work alone than any other city in the Salinas Valley and a lower rate than Monterey County as a whole.5
Overall, 18% of King City residents carpool to work, and 3% walk. Fewer than 1% bike to work or take public transit. Almost 3% of residents work from home.

Although some King City commuters travel outside Monterey County for work, the majority (94%) stay within the county. The average commute time is 21 minutes. Twenty-three percent of commuters travel for more than 30 minutes daily, and 7% travel 45 minutes or more.5
Although commute trips offer the best available data on travel modes, they represent only a percentage of trips. Comprehensive data on the percentage of King City residents walking or bicycling for other daily trips are not available. 5 Census American Community Survey 2017–2021 Commuting Characteristics by Sex, Table SO801.

Land Use and Major Destinations
Public K–12 schools are located throughout King City, and there is a satellite campus of Hartnell College near downtown. Commercial areas are located along Broadway Street, Canal Street, and the area south of Highway 101.

Other key destinations include parks and recreation centers, the King City Branch Library, and medical facilities.

Existing Bicycle Network
There are currently two types of bicycle facilities in King City: class I shareduse paths and class II bicycle lanes. Other streets have been designated as regional bike routes. See below for definitions of each type of bicycle facility.

There are two class I shared-use paths in and around King City. One is located on the north side of town and runs adjacent to Bikle Drive between San Antonio Drive and Spreckels Road. This path was constructed in 2022–23 and opened in 2023. The other starts on San Lorenzo Park Road and crosses the Salinas River to Jolon Road. It provides a bike route to town for residents of the Pine Canyon neighborhood outside of King City.

There are two streets with class II bicycle lanes in King City: San Antonio Drive from Mildred to 3rd Street/Spreckels Road, and Spreckels Road from San Antonio to Lewis Street.

Class I Shared-Use Path
Class I paths are paved rights-of-way that are completely separated from streets and where motor vehicle traffic is prohibited. Shared-use paths are designed for people using wheelchairs, walking, bicycling, or skateboarding, or taking other forms of active transportation. Bike paths should offer opportunities not provided by the road system, such as
recreation or direct high-speed commute routes if cross-flow by motor vehicles and pedestrian conflicts can be minimized.

The most common shared-use paths are along waterfronts, canals, utility rights-of-way, and abandoned railroad rightsof-way, on school campuses, and within and between parks.

In some situations such facilities can be provided as part of planned developments.

Class II Bicycle Lane
These are on-street facilities that use striping and stencils to designate spaces for bicycle travel. Bike lanes delineate the rights-of-way assigned to bicyclists and motorists and provide for more predictable movements by each. A more important reason for constructing bike lanes is to accommodate
bicyclists in corridors where there is insufficient room for side-by-side sharing of streets with motorists. This can be accomplished by reducing the number of lanes, reducing lane width, or prohibiting or reconfiguring parking to delineate bike lanes. Other things can be done on streets with bike lanes to improve the situation for bicyclists that might not be possible elsewhere (e.g., improvements to the surface, augmented sweeping programs, special signal facilities). In general, pavement markings alone do not measurably enhance
cycling conditions.

Regional Bike Routes
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC)
developed a Pedestrian and Bicyclist Wayfinding Plan for Monterey County in 2016, in which it identified a network of regional bicycle routes. Regional routes connect key destinations within the county and either currently have class I multi-use paths, class II bike lanes, or class III bike routes, or are planned to have bicycle facilities in the future.

King City : Existing Conditions 207
Existing Pedestrian Network
King City has good sidewalk coverage, with sidewalk present on nearly all roadways. There is missing sidewalk on some roadways in the industrial areas of town, such as Airport Road and San Antonio Drive between Metz Road and Bitterwater Road. There are also some sidewalk gaps in the residential neighborhoods south of Broadway Street, including Division Street, Carlson Street, and Vivian Street.

Curb ramps provide access between the sidewalk and the street for people with disabilities, children on bicycles, and people pushing strollers. Under the ADA, upgraded curb ramps must include warnings that are detectable by people with vision impairments. As the City repaves streets and installs roadway improvements, upgraded curb ramps are installed at intersections to comply with ADA standards.

In addition to sidewalks, there are two class I shared-use paths in and around King City. One is on the north side of town and runs adjacent to Bikle Drive between San Antonio Drive and Spreckels Road. This path was constructed in 2022–23 and opened in 2023. The other path starts on San Lorenzo Park Road and crosses the Salinas River to Jolon Road. It provides a bike route to town for residents of the Pine Canyon neighborhood outside of King City.

Class I shared use path connecting Jolon Road to San Lorenzo Park Road Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 208
Existing Transit Network
The King City Union School District (KUSD) offers busing to special education students but does not offer other bus services. The South Monterey County High School District provides busing for high school students from Pine Canyon and other areas outside King City but does not offer busing for students within the city.

In addition to the transportation offered by school districts, Monterey-King City Transit offers bus transportation to the public, including some students traveling to school in King City. Youths aged 18 and younger receive discounted fares for all trips. Some students in King City use MST’s on-call transit service to get to school.

Active Transportation Safety
Bicycle and pedestrian-related collision data can be used to identify highlevel collision trends and locations with high rates of bicycle and pedestrian collisions. This analysis uses data from UC Berkeley’s Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) over the ten-year period from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2021.

It is important to note that the TIMS data include reported injury collisions only.

Many bicycle and pedestrian collisions are not reported and therefore are not represented in this analysis.

King City has significant rates of collisions involving both bicyclists and pedestrians, with 24 pedestrian collisions and 5 bicyclist collisions between 2012 and 2021.1
In the 2018 California Office of Traffic Safety crash rankings report, King City ranked among the top ten for pedestrian collisions involving youths under 15, among cities of similar size.2
Pedestrians in King City are disproportionately involved in collisions relative to people driving cars. Between 2012 and 2021, 47% of serious-injury and fatality collisions in King City involved pedestrians.2
This is disproportionate to walking rates in the city; 3% of work trips are made by walking.3

Bicycle Safety
Over the ten-year study period,
there were five bicycle-related
injury collisions in King City, with
an average of less than one
collision per year. The number of
collisions peaked at four in 2016,
but this trend did not continue in
subsequent years.

There were no fatal bicycle
collisions within the period.

Three collisions resulted in an
“other visible injury,” and two
resulted in a “complaint of pain.”
Bicycle Collision Trends
Bicycle-related collision locations are shown in Figure 6.

Key takeaways from the analysis include the following:
• Broadway Street, a downtown arterial street,
had the most bicycle-related collisions, with
60%. Mildred Street was the second most common
collision location.
• Youths aged 14 or younger were involved in
80% of bicycle collisions. Male bicyclists were
much more likely to be involved in collisions and
made up 67% of crash victims.
• 100% of collisions took place during the week,
and 80% took place between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
• The two most common bicycle collision factors,
according to the reporting law enforcement officer,
were pedestrian right-of-way violations (40%) and
traffic signals and signs (40%).

Pedestrian Collision Trends
Pedestrian collision locations are shown in Figure 9. Key takeaways of the analysis include the following:
• 47% of severe-injury and fatality collisions in King City involved pedestrians only 20% of total collisions did. Pedestrians were more likely to be seriously injured or killed in collisions than drivers. • Nearly half of pedestrian collisions involve youths aged 19 or younger, and 37% percent of collisions involved youths under 14. • Broadway Street was the location with the most pedestrian collisions, with 38%. Vanderhurst Avenue was the second-most common pedestrian collision location.
• Drivers were at fault in 79% of pedestrian-involved collisions.

The most common type of violation, according to the reporting law enforcement officer, was drivers’ failure to yield to pedestrians at a marked or unmarked crosswalk, which accounted for 54% of all collisions. The second most common violation was unsafe starting or backing of a vehicle on a highway, which accounted for 13% of collisions. The third most common violation was pedestrians’ failure to yield right-of-way to vehicles when crossing outside of a marked or unmarked crosswalk, which accounted for 8% of collisions.

Current and Recently
Completed Projects
Several major projects are underway to provide new bicycle and pedestrian facilities in King City. The City continues to apply for and receive grant funding for Safe Routes to Schools improvements.

Creek Bridge Linear Park
Linear park paths are being constructed as part of new development on the northern edge of King City. The first segment of path, completed in 2024, is on the northern side of the Creek Bridge neighborhood and runs between Cecily Street and Spreckels Road. Another segment is under construction east of Spreckels Road and is expected to be completed in 2024.

Division Street Bike Lanes
King City has received $117,000 in funding from TAMC to add bicycle lanes along the full length of Division Street between Canal Street and S First Street.

The project is expected to be completed in 2025.

Downtown Streetscape Project
In 2023, King City started construction on improvements to four intersections on Broadway Street from Second to Russ Streets. The project includes curb extensions, new landscaping and trees, public art, redesigned medians, and decorative crosswalks, and is funded primarily with state and federal grants.

Construction was completed in 2024, and the intersection of Broadway Street and San Lorenzo Street is planned for future upgrades when additional funds are secured.

San Antonio Drive Bikeway and School Gap Closure
King City received an Active Transportation Program grant in 2022 to make improvements to San Antonio Drive and Broadway Street, which are routes to three schools. One mile of bicycle path will be constructed on San Antonio Drive to connect the neighborhood near San Antonio Park with Chalone Peaks Middle School and Del Rey Elementary. The project also includes three roundabouts and a bicycle path on Broadway Street to provide a safe route to King City High School and downtown King City. Finally, new bicycle lanes on Mildred Avenue will provide access to King City High, Santa Lucia, and Del Rey Elementary Schools, and Chalone Peaks Middle School. The project is expected to start construction in 2026.

Existing Programs
A variety of program offerings provide active transportation education and encouragement to King City residents. Some focus on school-aged youths, but there are also programs offering safety information, encouragement, and events for the general public.

Active Transportation Support Program
TAMC provides free racks for bicycle and skateboard parking, bike lockers, and bicycle repair stands to businesses, schools, and other organizations throughout Monterey County. The goal of the program is to increase the amount of secure bicycle parking and ensure that it is distributed equitably throughout the county. Interested parties can apply for funding to purchase a rack at any time here: tamcmonterey.org/active-transportation-support-program.

Blue Zones Project Monterey County
Blue Zones Project is a national organization that works with communities to encourage changes that lead to healthier options for residents. Blue Zones works with governments, employers, restaurants, and school sites to encourage healthy eating, exercise, and community building. Blue Zones was launched in Monterey County in 2019 and works with schools in King City to encourage healthy habits. Learn more here: montereycounty.bluezonesproject.com.

Go 831
Go831 is a free transportation-demand management program led by TAMC.

The program is offered countywide and provides resources and incentives for commutes made by biking, walking, carpooling, vanpooling, or public transit.

Go831 also provides resources for employers who want to start incentive programs to reduce drive-alone commute trips. Learn more here: go831.org.

Public Outreach
Public input was the foundation of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan and began in the fall of 2022 in King City. Outreach included presentations at virtual and in-person parent meetings, digital parent surveys, and tabling at community events. Walking audits were held at each school site to review current infrastructure conditions and discuss safety issues with school staff.

After the draft recommendations were developed, the planning team hosted one temporary demonstration project in each city to test them and get feedback from the community. Finally, Steering Committees were developed in each city to lead a participatory budgeting process.

King City is home to many Spanish-speaking residents, and enabling equitable participation was an important part of the outreach process. All outreach materials and surveys were developed in English and Spanish, and translation was available during walking audits. Parent presentations were given primarily in Spanish, and Steering Committee meetings were conducted in Spanish with English translation available.

King City : Outreach 219
Walking audit at Chalone
Peaks Middle School
Walking Audits
Walking audits were held at each of the five schools in King City in fall 2022. Audits were held during school
arrival or dismissal to observe traffic and infrastructure conditions around the school and discuss key safety
issues with school staff. School principals, community
liaisons, parents, and crossing guards shared
information on typical traffic patterns and safety issues for people walking and biking. These meetings were
held outside, and COVID-19 protocols were maintained
to ensure participants’ safety.

Parent Meetings
At the beginning of the planning process, the team
contacted school staff to request time on the agendas of scheduled virtual and in-person parent meetings, such as coffee klatches, site councils, and the English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC). During their presentations, team members shared information about the planning process and asked parents and school staff for input on any safety issues involving biking and walking around the school. After the draft recommendations were developed, another round of presentations at virtual and in-person parent meetings was conducted to get feedback on them. In total, 11 presentations were given at the five King City schools.

Parent and Student Surveys
An initial survey was shared with parents through school communication channels, the project website, and on social media. It received 358 responses. The survey asked about how students typically traveled to school before COVID-19, top concerns about letting students walk or bike to school, and current barriers to traveling to school safely.

After the draft recommendation list was developed, recommendation maps in English and Spanish were shared with parents along with a short survey asking for their feedback. No responses were received with feedback on the draft recommendations.

Pilot Projects
After the draft recommendations were developed, the planning team selected one location per city for a temporary pilot project. These projects were designed to test the draft recommendations, see how the designs worked in practice, and get feedback from the community on whether they should be made permanent. See below for more information on the King City pilot project and community survey data.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 220
King City Steering Committee members
Steering Committees
Safe Routes to School Steering Committees
were formed in each of the four cities, and were
made up of community representatives including
students, parents, school staff, advocates, and
residents. These groups met monthly for nine
months and took active leadership roles in
engaging the community and
developing projects.

Each Steering Committee led a participatory
budgeting process, which is a democratic
process in which community members decide
how to spend part of a public budget.

TAMC allocated $250,000 per city to implement
projects from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan,
and Steering Committees developed a process
for community members to vote on which
projects should be funded.

The King City Steering Committee developed
project proposals based on the list of
recommendations from the Safe Routes to
Schools Plan and designed a process by which
residents could vote on the ones that were most
important to them. The projects that received
the most votes were recommended for funding,
and Steering Committee members presented
the results to the King City Council in February
2024 for approval. Projects funded through
the participatory budgeting process will begin
implementation as soon as 2025. The City
will carry out as many recommendations as is
feasible given current construction costs.

The list of projects recommended for funding in
King City can be found in Chapter 5D.

King City : Outreach 221
Collins Street Pilot Project
Survey Results
Highlights of the community survey data for the Collins Street pilot project are provided below. The full survey data can be found in the Appendix.

The temporary installation on Collins Street was located between San Lorenzo Street and Russ Street, in front of Santa Lucia Elementary School. This oneblock length of Collins Street is the main drop-off area for the school, and it experiences significant traffic congestion on a typical school day. Collins Street was selected for the pilot project because it was identified as a priority by the King City Steering Committee and community members.

At the time of the installation, there was a white curb drop-off lane on the school side of Collins Street and standard striped crosswalks at the intersections of Russ and San Lorenzo Streets. Student drop-off took place on both sides of Collins Street, and students were observed running across the street in front of cars during the audit. Safety issues were also observed at the intersections of Russ and San Lorenzo Streets, with drivers not yielding to pedestrians.

The pilot included a temporary drop-off lane on Collins Street in front of the school and temporary curb extensions and high-visibility crosswalks at the intersections of Russ and San Lorenzo Streets. The goal of the pilot was to organize student pick-up and drop off by way of a separated drop-off lane, and to improve pedestrian safety by making people crossing the street more visible at the two intersections nearest the school.

Many Committee members came from communities that are traditionally underrepresented in the political process and who face obstacles to participating or who feel left out. By serving on Safe Routes to Schools Steering Committees, members gained experience in leadership and participation in local government. Steering Committees also improved connections between the planning team and each community and increased public participation in the planning process. Steering Committee members were compensated for their time, and dinner was provided during meetings, to recognize the value of their work and allow for equitable participation.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 222
The Collins Street pilot project was in place for one month. The planning team received 65 community survey responses during this time. The following methods were used to promote the project and collect survey responses:
• Distribution of fliers and a survey link to parents, through King City schools.
• Door-to-door distribution of fliers with the survey link to neighbors near the pilot.
• Mass mailings to 2,200 households in the neighborhoods around the pilot. • Social media posts.
• Banners and pre-stamped surveys placed along Collins Street. • Presentation to City Council before the pilot was installed.

Survey Results
• Twenty-nine percent of survey respondents walked on Collins Street during the pilot project, 2% biked, and 70% drove through the pilot. • Eighty-eight percent of respondents reported having a positive experience with the high-visibility crosswalks, 76% had a positive experience with the curb extensions, and 86% had a positive experience with the drop-off lane. • Forty-three percent of respondents said that they walked or biked more because of the pilot project.
• Seventy-nine percent of respondents indicated that they would like to see the temporary changes made permanent. Thirteen percent were undecided, and 8% said they did not want to see the changes become permanent.
• Seventy-three percent said that they would either definitely or probably use the new facility if it became permanent.

The City will consider this project in future funding opportunities for construction of a permanent project.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 224
Recommendations
The school-level infrastructure recommendations in this chapter are the core of the Safe Routes to Schools Plan. They were designed to address the specific challenges at each school site to increase the safety of families walking and cycling there and encourage more active transportation to school. This chapter includes information on the current conditions at each school, observations from the walking audit, and a list of infrastructure recommendations. Schools are organized alphabetically. Citywide non-infrastructure recommendations are listed at the end.

A guide to the various types of infrastructure treatments included in this chapter starts on page 227.

Safe Routes to Schools Corridors
Safe Routes to Schools corridors are streets that have been identified as key routes to King City schools. These streets may be good candidates for corridor-level improvements in the future to slow traffic, improve intersections and crossings, and create a safe and comfortable environment for students to walk and bike to school.

Recommendation Process
The recommendations in this plan were developed
in response to public input on the barriers to getting
to each school site safely. Public comments from
parent surveys, parent meetings, and walking
audits were reviewed and, where feasible,
recommendations were developed to address
each issue. This process included the evaluation of
current conditions around
each school.

After the draft recommendations were developed,
recommendations maps in English and Spanish
were shared with each school site along with a
short survey asking for feedback. Each school
was also offered another round of bilingual parent
presentations to share the draft recommendations
and collect feedback from parents and school staff.

The planning team reviewed this feedback and
adjusted the recommendations where feasible.

All recommendations are planning-level and
require further analysis before construction. All
recommendations for new marked traffic-control
devices, including crosswalks, require further
analysis and must meet the guidelines of the
California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices
to be installed.

Class IV separated bikeways or cycle tracks
have a physical barrier such as parked cars,
planters, or plastic posts separating them from the
vehicle lane to provide safety for bicyclists.

Class I shared use paths are paved rights-ofway, completely separated from streets, which support multi-use recreation and transportation
opportunities for walkers, bicyclists, skaters, and
wheelchair users.

Class II bike lanes are on-street bicycle facilities
that use striping and stencils to designate spaces
for bicycle travel.

Class IIB buffered bike lanes are separated
by a striped buffer from the vehicle lane, which
provides greater separation and comfort for
people biking.

Class III bicycle routes are designated for
bicycle travel with signage and shared-use
pavement markings, or “sharrows,” and are
shared with motor vehicles.

Curb extensions are additions to the sidewalk at
intersections or mid-block crosswalks to shorten
the crossing distance and make pedestrians more
visible to drivers.

Green crossbike treatments guide bicyclists on
a safe and direct path through intersections.

This helps drivers know where to expect people
on bikes.

High-visibility crosswalks are “ladder style”
crosswalks that are more visible to drivers than
crosswalks consisting of two lines.

Neighborhood traffic circles are small
roundabouts installed on neighborhood streets
to slow traffic and create a safer and more
comfortable environment for people walking
and biking.

crossing distance and pedestrians’ exposure to
vehicle traffic.

King City : Recommendations 229
Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs)
are used at uncontrolled intersections or midblock crosswalks to alert drivers to people who are waiting to cross the street.

Roundabouts are circular intersections where
drivers travel counterclockwise around a center
island. They have been shown to reduce crashes
and improve safety for pedestrians.

Traffic calming uses various measures such
as speed humps, traffic circles, and chicanes
to slow vehicle traffic on residential streets and
improve safety and conditions for walkers and
cyclists. These measures must be requested and
supported by neighborhood residents to
be installed.

Raised crosswalks are marked crosswalk on
higher sections of pavement. These are used to
encourage drivers to slow down and make people
walking more visible to drivers.

Speed feedback signs are traffic-control devices
used to reduce vehicle speeds by giving drivers
who are traveling over the posted or advisory
speed limit a targeted message, such as “YOUR
SPEED XX” or “SLOW DOWN.”

Current Infrastructure Conditions
Motorist Conditions
• Chalone Peaks Middle School has two drop-off loops for specific grade levels and two parking lots off Meyer Street. Spaces in the lots are reserved for staff and visitors.
• Drop-off takes place at both loops. There was little traffic congestion before or after school on the surrounding streets.
• The school changed its start time to 8:30 am, later than nearby schools start, which reduced the traffic around the school. Having separate entrances for the various grade levels also helps to disperse traffic. • There is no busing to Chalone Peaks Middle except for special education students. Buses drop off students in the school loops when needed. Some students take the on-demand MST bus service, which drops them off in the school drop-off loop.
• Some drop-off took place on Calcagno Street and Sherwood Drive and in the alleys off Sherwood. Traffic was light overall.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 290
Implementation, Reporting, and Maintenance
Implementation and Reporting
The projects in this plan will be implemented over time as funding becomes available. With limited funding, King City must decide how to prioritize the recommendations.

Some projects that are low cost and have community support can be incorporated into the City’s maintenance programs and carried out using maintenance funds. For larger projects, leveraging local funds with additional grant funding will be critical. There are also projects that require either private property acquisition or coordination with Caltrans. Though these are highcost projects that will take many years to fund, design, and construct, they are included here as part of a long-term vision for the future of transportation in King City.

King City has the opportunity to make bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of ongoing road maintenance. The City is required to upgrade curb ramps to Americans with Disabilities Act standards during major road resurfacing projects. Many resurfacing projects provide a chance to restripe roadways and install improvements such as high-visibility crosswalks, class IIB buffered bike lanes, green bike lane treatments, and class IV separated bikeways for a relatively low additional cost. Traffic signal maintenance and upgrades also provide opportunities to install countdown pedestrian signal heads, leading pedestrian interval signal phasing, and video detection for bicyclists. City staff will review the Safe Routes to Schools Plan project list when planning maintenance projects to look for ways to incorporate bike and pedestrian improvements. This allows for a highly cost-effective strategy for implementing the projects in this plan.

King City : Implementation, Reporting, and Maintenance 291 Installing bicycle and pedestrian improvements as part of regularly scheduled maintenance is part of the “quick-build” approach to providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, in which local jurisdictions construct facilities faster using low-cost materials. Materials such as paint, planters, and plastic posts are less expensive initially than new pavement or changes to curb alignments, but they have larger ongoing maintenance costs. Quick-build is best suited to temporary trial projects that can be adjusted on the basis of the success of the design and community feedback. More information on the quick-build approach can be found in the Quick-Build Guide developed by the California Bicycle Coalition and Alta Planning + Design.1
Projects from this plan can also be installed as future development occurs in King City. This Safe Routes to Schools Plan provides a list of projects that can be used to mitigate land-use development impacts by reducing vehicle miles traveled. In 2013, California lawmakers approved Senate Bill 743, which considers vehicle miles traveled as a metric to determine impacts in transportation analysis under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Jurisdictions are no longer required to use traffic congestion or level of service as a metric, though they can still enforce those through consistency with the agency’s General Plan. In addition, the traditional level-of-service metric may still be relevant to CEQA as it relates to impacts on public services, including emergency response and transit. The state released guidelines in 2018 that recommended the use of vehicle miles traveled as the key metric for analyzing transportation impacts. The Safe Routes to Schools Plan is a resource that the city and developers can use for project ideas to improve biking and walking facilities and reduce vehicle miles traveled.

This chapter includes a list of roadways that are high priorities for improvement on the basis of criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan. Individual projects will be prioritized for funding through the Monterey County Regional Transportation Plan and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Reporting on project funding, design, and construction will occur through an update to the city council and the public during the annual CIP update process.

For projects within Caltrans rights of way, all improvements must be consistent with Highway Access Management Plans, and Caltrans maintenance agreements are required before new construction.

Salinas Valley Safe Routes to Schools Plan 292
Corridor Prioritization
Key routes to school in King City were ranked to help decisionmakers and City staff prioritize projects and identify the most competitive ones for various grant opportunities. Grant programs often prioritize larger-scale, corridor-wide improvements, and future grant applications are likely to focus on improvements to one or more streets in King City rather than individual projects.

The corridors below were evaluated using four criteria aligned with the vision and goals of this plan and with common grant application criteria. Equity scores are based on two sources: free or reduced price meal data, as an indicator of family income, and the Healthy Places Index map, which shows data on health indicators such as education, job opportunities, and clean air and water. Each corridor was assigned a number from 0 to 100 based on the criteria in Table 7.

Table 7: Criteria for Corridor Prioritization
Criterion Description Max Points
Safety
The following points are awarded for bicycle and pedestrian collisions in the last 10 years within 150 ft of the corridor, for a maximum of 30 points:
• 5 points per fatal or severe-injury collision.
• 1 point per other-visible-injury or complaint-of-pain collision. 30 Access to Key
Destinations
10 points for every school within 500 ft of the corridor and 5 points for every park, library, and recreation center, for a max of 25 points.

Funded Projects
The King City Steering Committee led a participatory budgeting process, a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. The Transportation Agency for Monterey County allocated $250,000 per city to implement projects from the Safe Routes to Schools Plan, and Steering Committees developed a process to allow community members to vote on which projects should be funded.

The King City election was held in November 2023. People over the age of 12 who lived or worked in King City were eligible to vote, and votes could be cast online and at nine voting sites throughout the city. In total, 754 ballots were received, which identified 8 projects as the highest priorities for community members. Steering Committee members presented the results to the King City Council and received its approval in February 2024.

Projects funded through participatory budgeting will begin implementation as soon as 2025. The City will construct as many recommendations as is feasible given current construction costs.

Maintenance
The need for maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian facilities is often reported by residents walking and bicycling on local roadways. There are several ways to report such issues in and around the City of Greenfield:
• Maintenance issues in King City can be reported through the King City website: www4.citizenserve.com/Portal/PortalController?Action=showGeneral&ctzPagePrefix=Portal_&installationID=367&original_iid=0&original_contactID=0. • TAMC maintains the Bicycle Service Request program, a webpage where any issue related to bicycle safety in Monterey County can be reported:
www.tamcmonterey.org/bike-service-request-form. Reports are forwarded to the appropriate jurisdiction for action.
• Maintenance issues on state highways can be reported to Caltrans:
csr.dot.ca.gov.

King City is responsible for maintaining pavement on roads that it has accepted for maintenance. The City also maintains signage, signals, striping, guardrails, and other traffic-safety devices, walls and other retaining structures, and drainage facilities serving the roadway.

King City currently employs the following maintenance policies and procedures to keep bicycle and pedestrian facilities in good repair:
• Bike lanes that are contiguous with a City-maintained roadway are maintained by the City as part of the roadway. The City strives to sweep bike lanes every two weeks.
• According to the California Streets and Highways Code Section 5610, adjacent property owners are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks along the frontage of their properties. The City is also actively pursues funding for the maintenance and repair of sidewalks and has allocated an annual budget for sidewalk repair.
• According to the Streets and Highways Code, a set amount of maintenance funding is provided by the gas tax, and the City is charged with maintaining roadways as well as those funds allow. The City has developed a plan to repave streets over the next 12 years and will be pursuing a local tax measure to fund roadway maintenance.

Item No. 9 (F)

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2025
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DOREEN LIBERTO, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DIRECTOR
RE: CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE RIVERBED

WILDFIRE PREVENTION PLAN CONSULTANT SERVICES

AGREEMENT
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the third amendment to the Consultant Services Agreement with EMC specifically to Exhibit “C” Project Schedule of the Riverbed Wildfire Prevention Plan.

BACKGROUND:

In 2022, the City was granted a $224,000 grant from the State of California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (“Cal Fire”) – Office of the State Fire Marshal to prepare a Riverbed Wildfire Prevention Plan (“Plan”). Of the $224,000 grant, $190,000 was allocated specifically for the contract services of preparation of the Plan.

On September 26, 2023, the City Council approved and authorized a consultant services agreement with EMC for the preparation of the Riverbed Wildfire Prevention Plan for $180,315.

On September 27, 2023, the original contract was executed.

On March 12, 20224, the first amendment to the contract was approved to increase the contract cost to account for additional services involving public outreach increasing it to $185,727.50 but not exceeding a total of $190,000.

The original term of the contract was for a one-year period expiring on September 27, 2024. The second amendment to the contract was approved on October 8, 2024 and extended the contract to January 31, 2025.

CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE RIVERBED WILDFIRE

PREVENTION PLAN CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT
JANUARY 28, 2025
PAGE 2 OF 3
The Riverbed Wildfire Prevention Plan is now ready to go to public hearing. EMC’s updated project schedule anticipates completion of the project by mid-March 2025.

Public hearing notices are being drafted, and hearing dates have been selected.

DISCUSSION:

Staff recommend extending the contract date until March 31, 2025. The amended project schedule is necessary to finalize the Riverbed Wildfire Prevention Plan.

Amendment No. 3 includes an updated “Exhibit C” to the original contract’s Project Schedule as referenced in Exhibit 1 below.

COST ANALYSIS:

The proposed does not include any amendments to the contract award amount.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Pursuant to CEQA, this matter is not a “project” for the purposes of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 as there is no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, the City has also performed a preliminary environmental assessment of this project pursuant to CEQA and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), there is no possibility that this matter may have a significant impact on the environment because the action is to authorize a contract to write a Riverbed Fire Prevention Plan.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following recommendations are provided for City Council consideration:

1. Authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 to EMC’s contract;

2. Direct staff to modify EMC’s proposal;

3. Do not authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 3 with EMC;

4. Request additional information; or

5. Provide staff other direction.
