Deputy City Manager/City Clerk Senior Assistant City Attorney 28 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.3
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution approving a supplemental appropriation of $390,000 from Traffic Impact Fees to Fiscal Year 2023-24 and authorizing the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the agreement with Quincy Engineering increasing the not-to-exceed contract amount from $694,000 to $1,074,000 and extending the term of the agreement to June 30, 2026, for additional right-of-way close out services associated with Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Approving a supplemental appropriation of $390,000 from Traffic Impact Fees to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget for the Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38; and
2. Authorizing the City Manager to execute a first amendment to the agreement with Quincy Engineering for Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38, accepting the name change of Quincy Engineering to Consor North America, Inc., increasing the not-to-exceed agreement amount by $380,000 from $694,000 to $1,074,000, and extending the term of the agreement to June 30, 2026.
SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) hired Quincy Engineering on November 30, 2020, to provide roadway rightof-way engineering related to the Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38. A first amendment to the agreement is required to cover remaining right-of-way closeout services which includes record maps, title reports, appraisals, and right-of-way acquisitions. Additional work also includes establishing easements for relocated utilities and access rights, and to clear various types of utility easements and encumbrances in 18 right-of-way parcels that will be transferred from the City to the State. Staff requests a $390,000 supplemental appropriation from Traffic Impact Fees in FY 2023-24 to cover both the cost of this first amendment and other non-consultant right-of-way closeout costs.
The first amendment also accepts the change of the consultant's name from Quincy Engineering to 29 Consor North America, Inc., and it extends the term of the agreement to June 30, 2026. The first amendment services will complete the remaining right-of-way work for the State Route 84 (Isabel Avenue) corridor, the new junction connection to the I-580 interchange, the Portola Avenue/I-580 overcrossing, and the Airway Boulevard/I-580 interchange that served as the temporary State Route 84 connection.
DISCUSSION
The City hired Quincy Engineering (Consultant) on November 30, 2020, to coordinate with Caltrans rightof-way functional unit staff, conduct state highway and city streets right-of-way surveys, and prepare various types of required right-of-way documents, maps and legal descriptions for right-of-way parcels and utility easements relocated by the Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38. Work also included identifying the remaining right-of-way parcels that will complete the final operational right-of-way for the Isabel Avenue (SR 84) corridor improvements from Jack London Boulevard to I-580, the new interchange connection at I-580 and Isabel Avenue, the Portola Avenue overcrossing at I-580, and the Airway Boulevard//I-580 interchange improvements.
City staff has been working with the Consultant and the Caltrans Right of Way functional unit staff to prepare all the right-of-way closeout documents based on state requirements. Three individual Records of Survey were recorded in 2023 for the Isabel Avenue (SR 84)/I-580 interchange and Portola Avenue/I580 overcrossing bridge structure, the SR 84 corridor improvements, and the Airway Boulevard/I-580 interchange. The extensive record right-of-way maps that identify the right of way parcels, utility easements, and access rights are 60% prepared and will be finalized once remaining utility easements and right-of-way parcels are acquired.
The City currently holds 13 right-of-way parcels acquired for the Isabel Avenue interchange and SR 84 corridor and five right-of-way parcels for the Airway Boulevard/I-580 interchange improvements. The City is currently working with Chicago Title Company to prepare new title reports, title insurance, and escrow services for the transfer of 18 parcels that the City plans to convey to the State before the middle of 2024. The Consultant has identified about 83 easement and access right parcels inside and outside the highway right-of-way and has prepared 30% of the corresponding legal descriptions and plats. Most of the easements are for electric, gas, water, sewer, and telecommunications lines that were relocated by the roadway project to utility corridors outside of the right-of-way limits and along both sides of the SR 84 and I-580 ultimate right-of-way. The plats and legal descriptions for easements for utilities that cross the State right-of-way still need to be prepared. The City has been coordinating with PG&E land rights staff to grant PG&E utility easements for relocating and undergrounding electric overhead lines that were in conflict with the highway interchange and corridor improvements. The City has already granted PG&E most of the easements for their facilities relocated by SR 84 and the Airway Boulevard interchanges and is currently working to grant PG&E the remaining easement rights on Water Reclamation Plant and Airport land to accommodate a relocated joint trench, occupied by PG&E, AT&T and Comcast, from Jack London Boulevard to I-580 along SR 84.
The Portola Avenue/I-580 overcrossing is part of the Portola Avenue extension and connection to the Isabel Avenue /I-580 interchange improvements and requires additional roadway bridge abutment and utility corridor right-of-way from the adjacent property, to north of Portola Avenue, owned by DR Livermore, LLC (formerly Lin). The City’s right-of-way agent is working with the property owner’s coordinator to finalize the arrangement of parcels that are needed for the Portola Avenue overcrossing bridge structure. The City anticipates a friendly right-of-way acquisition of the DR Livermore, LLC 30 property that will complete the right-of-way needed for the new freeway overcrossing facility. As the final step, the City will grant Sprint with an easement for a relocated fiber optic line outside the State right-ofway along Portola Avenue.
Staff requests approval of the First Amendment to the Engineering Services Agreement with Quincy Engineering which will accept their name change to Consor North America, Inc., increase the not-toexceed amount of the original agreement by $380,000 from $694,000 to $1,074,000, and extend the term by one year, from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026. This amendment will cover additional right-of way engineering services and property acquisition to finalize the right-of-way maps, plat and legal descriptions for transfer parcels, and relocated easements. Additional work also covers clearing transfer parcel encumbrances and conveying the remaining 18 right-of-way parcels to the State to complete the highway right-of-way for the SR 84 corridor, Isabel Avenue (SR 84)/I-580 junction, and the Airway Boulevard /I-580 interchange facilities.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Isabel Avenue/I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38 is funded in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Program. A supplemental appropriation from Traffic Impact Fees (Fund 306) in the amount of $390,000 in FY 2023-24, as shown in table below, is required to finalize the right-of-way documents, transfer the highway parcels to the State, and closeout the right-of-way phase of the project. There are sufficient funds in Fund 306 to cover this increased expense.
Existing and Proposed Budget Isabel Ave./I-580 Interchange Project 1992-38 Fund No. Fund Name FY 2023-24 (Existing) FY 2023-24 (Proposed) 306 Traffic Impact Fee $180,000 $570,000

56 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.4
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brandon Cardwell, Innovation and Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing a third amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement between the City of Livermore and Livermore Petroleum LLC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a third amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement between the City of Livermore and Livermore Petroleum LLC extending the term twelve months.
SUMMARY
The Montecito Development Company, LLC approached staff in 2018 to develop the Airport’s 1.2-acre parcel at Kitty Hawk Road and Airway Blvd with a full-service gas station and mini-mart on the parcel.
The Airport Commission unanimously approved the concept on June 11, 2018, and the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with Montecito in January of 2019. In March 2021, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the ENRA. In September 2021, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the ENRA to assign the ENRA to Livermore Petroleum LLC and extend the agreement 18 months. Lease negotiations have been impacted by changes in airport management staff and the need to complete development review of the project entitlements. Livermore Petroleum is now requesting a 12-month extension of the ENRA, with an option for the City Manager to extend for an additional 12 months, to finish the lease negotiations and process the development application to receive entitlements.
DISCUSSION
In June 2018, The Montecito Development Company, LLC contacted City staff regarding development of the 1.2-acre parcel of land APN 904-11-3 located at Kitty Hawk Road and Airway Blvd. At that time, Montecito Development Company, LLC also placed a cash deposit on the property and informed the City of their desire to develop the site into a gas station, convenience store, fast food restaurant, car wash or other approved use. The City Airport Commission unanimously approved the concept on June 11, 2018, and the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement (ENRA) with Montecito in January of 2019.
57 In March 2021, the City Council approved a First Amendment to the ENRA. In September 2021, the City Council approved a Second Amendment to the ENRA, extending the agreement by 18 months and assigning the ENRA to Livermore Petroleum LLC, a joint venture between Montecito Development Company, LLC and Premium Petroleum Group LLC. That extension has expired due to ongoing lease negotiations, changes in airport management staff, and the need to complete development review of the project entitlements. Livermore Petroleum LLC has now requested a 12-month extension of the ENRA, with an option for the City Manager to extend for an additional 12 months, to finish lease negotiations and process the development application to receive entitlements.
Throughout the term of the ENRA, the City has the option to terminate the agreement should the developer fail to negotiate in good faith. The agreement will terminate upon completion of an executed land lease with the City and entitlements on the property.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
There are no anticipated fiscal impacts resulting from execution of a Third Amendment to the Exclusive Negotiating Agreement between the City of Livermore and Livermore Petroleum LLC. However, once a ground lease is executed the Airport Enterprise Fund will benefit from additional revenue likely in excess of $36,000, and the general fund will benefit from additional sales tax.

This Exclusive Negotiating Rights Agreement ("Agreement'') is entered into as of this _____ day of __________, 20___ ('Effective Date'') by and between the City of Livermore, a municipal corporation (“City''), and Livermore Petroleum LLC ("Developer'') on the basis of the following facts:
RECITALS

B. Developer desires to develop Property as a gas station, convenience store, fast food restaurant, car wash or other approved uses.

D. Developer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement in itself does not grant the Developer the right to develop the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties mutually agree as follows:
1. City grants Developer the exclusive right to negotiate with City for a ground lease agreement to develop the Property for the term of this Agreement, as set forth in Section 2 below. During the term of this Agreement, City and Developer shall negotiate in good faith and City shall not negotiate with any entity, other than Developer, regarding development of the Property, or solicit or entertain bids or proposals to do so.
2. The term of this Agreement shall be for 12 months from the Effective Date.
The Agreement may be extended, in writing by mutual consent of the parties, for one additional 12-month period, provided Developer has made good faith efforts towards entitlement of the property as agreed to by the City Manager. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to agree to such extension.
The City may terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 8 if the Developer fails to negotiate in good faith.
3. This Agreement shall not obligate the City to lease, nor obligate Developer to lease and develop, the Property. By execution of this Agreement, the City is not DocuSign Envelope ID: 404CA804-17CA-4571-A201-7460DA376754

60 committing itself to or agreeing to undertake the leasing of land or any acts or activities requiring the subsequent independent exercise of discretion by the City or any agency or department thereof.

Developer acknowledges that this Agreement provides no assurances of approvals.
4. Developer agrees to pay City all applicable development application fees and to reimburse the City for staff time at the City adopted hourly rates if deemed necessary and at the sole discretion of the City. If during the term of this Agreement, City requires the assistance of outside consultants, City will provide Developer with an estimate of costs prior to engaging any third-party consultants for Developer's review and approval.
Developer's refusal to approve the costs may be cause for City to terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the language in this Section of the Agreement, Developer may engage their own professional consultants in order to prepare the required technical reports and studies necessary for the any City department and City Council to review and approve any ground lease and development application for the project at the Property. City reserves the right to approve in advance any professional consultant to be engaged by Developer. City approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld.
5. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that no liens or other encumbrance shall be filed against the Property with respect to this Agreement or any dispute or act arising from it.
6. All notices required or authorized by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person or by deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid.

63 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.5
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution of Intention to form Community Facilities District 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services) located on the east and west side of the Arroyo Seco Channel along Las Positas Road pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1. Accept the petition from the property owner requesting initiation of formation of City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services) (the "CFD") located on the east and west side of the Arroyo Seco Channel along Las Positas Road to finance certain ongoing maintenance services, and waiving the otherwise-applicable election time periods; and
2. Adopt a resolution of intention to form the CFD and call for a public hearing on January 22, 2024, to consider formation of the CFD.
SUMMARY
To meet the conditions of approval for Tentative Tract 8379, located on the east and west side of the Arroyo Seco Channel along Las Positas Road, the property owner, TH Arroyo Vista LLC has submitted a signed petition and consents to the formation of Community Facilities District No. 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services) (the "CFD").
Under the Mello-Roos Act of 1982, a Resolution of Intention must be adopted establishing the hearing date for district formation. The Resolution of Intention describes the operation and maintenance services proposed to be included in the CFD and describes the rate and method of apportionment of the special tax rate to be levied (the "Rate and Method") in the CFD. The resolution also establishes the public hearing date, which must be held between 30 and 60 days after the date of the resolution. The public hearing allows for public protest of the formation of the district and allows the Council to count ballots from the landowner election. If the election is successful and the Council chooses, they may adopt a Resolution of Formation to form the district. An ordinance must then be adopted levying the special tax in 64 perpetuity in the CFD. The ordinance authorizes the City Manager to levy the special taxes each year based upon the Rate and Method.
With the formation of the CFD, the residential units within Tentative Tract 8379 will provide their pro-rata share of maintenance funds for the Arroyo Vista Neighborhood Plan infrastructure and amenities. The maximum annual operation and maintenance costs for the Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services public amenities in the CFD is estimated at $183,279 in 2023 dollars to be spread over 435 residential units in Tract 8379 and Tract 8689 (both included in Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8379). This estimate establishes the Max Cap of the annual assessment for the CFD and will be adjusted annually on July 1, based upon the prior calendar year's change in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers (San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA) plus one percent (CPI +1%).
DISCUSSION
Development projects with new public amenities such as trails, landscaping, and other public infrastructure are required, through conditions of approval, to provide for the long-term maintenance of the new infrastructure.
The Arroyo Vista residential development Tract 8379 and Tract 8689, located on the east and west side of the Arroyo Seco Channel along Las Positas Road, was conditioned to form a maintenance district to finance the maintenance and operation of the new Arroyo Seco Trail (between Las Positas Road and Arroyo Vista) and the public landscaping along Las Positas Road. In addition, the CFD will also have a contingency item that would collect funding for the future long-term repair and replacement costs of the pedestrian bridge that connects the two phases of the project over the Arroyo Seco Channel upon completion of construction of the bridge. The owners of the project have elected to form Community Facilities District 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services) pursuant to the Mello-Roos Act. The boundary of CFD 2023-2 is shown in Attachment 1.
Cost for administration of the CFD maintenance items, as well as Alameda County's collection of the special taxes, will also be funded by the CFD and are further defined in the description of services attached to the Resolution of Intention.
PROCEDURE - INTENT TO FORM
The City of Livermore (City)'s consultant, NBS, has prepared the proposed boundary map and the Rate and Method for the CFD. The law firm of Jones Hall has prepared the legal documents associated with the CFD formation. Staff has reviewed the proposed Boundary Map, Rate and Method and legal documents, pursuant to which the City will levy special taxes in the CFD to pay the services described above.
Staff recommends the City Council use the following process to form the CFD:
December 11, 2023 - The City Council receives the executed petition from the landowner/developer in the proposed CFD; petition asks the City Council to establish the CFD and waives the time requirements and certain procedures otherwise applicable to the special tax election.
December 11, 2023 - The City Council adopts the Resolution of Intention to establish the CFD. The Resolution of Intention will set the date, time, and place of the public hearing, direct the City Clerk to 65 record the boundary map for the CFD and direct the City Engineer to prepare a report (Community Facilities District Report) that describes the services that will be required to adequately meet the needs of the CFD and estimates the fair and reasonable cost of the services and incidental expenses related to the services, and all other related costs.
Following adoption of the Resolution of Intention, the Community Facilities District Report will be available for public review at City Hall and on the City’s website. A Public Hearing Notice will be published in a local newspaper a minimum of 7 days prior to the City Council public hearing on January 22, 2024.
January 22, 2024 - The City Council holds a public hearing and adopts a Resolution of Formation, which forms the CFD.
The City Clerk conducts an election of the qualified landowner electors in the CFD (mailed ballots will be mailed to the landowner electors approximately 2 weeks before the election and will be received by the City Clerk prior to the public hearing). Each landowner elector will have one vote for each acre or portion of an acre of land that they own within the CFD. If two-thirds of the votes cast at the election are in favor of levying the special tax, then the election will be successful.
Following the election, the City Council will adopt a resolution declaring the results of the election and directing recordation of a notice of special tax lien, and it will undertake the first reading of an ordinance levying special taxes in the CFD.
February 12, 2024 – The City Council adopts an ordinance levying the special tax in perpetuity in the CFD.
August 10, 2024 – Deadline to file the special tax with Alameda County for FY 2024-25.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The City will administer the CFD on an annual basis and will budget for, and manage, the necessary maintenance, operation, and administration. All related expenditures will be paid by the CFD. The estimated annual cost for maintaining all the items in the Description of Services for the CFD is approximately $183,279.
The FY 2024-25 Special Tax Requirement Maximum Cap is estimated at $183,279, an average of $443 per residential unit. The maximum cap will escalate on July 1, 2024, and annually each July 1 thereafter, based upon the prior calendar year’s change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)– All Urban Consumers (San Francisco-Oakland- San Jose, CA) plus one percent (CPI + 1%).

76 IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ESTABLISH A
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
Under the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Chapter 2.5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5, commencing at Section 53311, of the California Government Code (the “Act”), this Council is authorized to establish a community facilities district and to act as its legislative body.
The Livermore City Council, having received petitions from the owner(s) of not less than 10% of the area of land proposed to be included in the proposed community facilities district, now desires to proceed with the establishment of such community facilities district to finance costs of certain services required to meet the demands of development of lands in the City of Livermore.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Livermore (the “City”) that:
1. Authority. This Council proposes to conduct proceedings to establish a community facilities district pursuant to the Act.
2. Name of CFD. The name proposed for the community facilities district is "City of Livermore Community Facilities District No. 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services)" (the “CFD”).
3. Boundaries Described. The proposed boundaries of the CFD are as shown on the map on file with the City Clerk, which is hereby preliminarily approved and to which reference is hereby made for further particulars. The City Clerk is hereby directed to record, or cause to be recorded, the map of the boundaries of the CFD in the office of the County Recorder within 15 days of the date of adoption of this Resolution.
4. Services. The type of services proposed to be financed by the CFD pursuant to the Act shall consist of those listed in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and hereby incorporated herein (the “Services”). The Council hereby determines that the Services are necessary to meet increased demands for such services placed upon local agencies as the result of development occurring within the area of the CFD. The Services are in addition to those provided in the territory of the CFD as of the date hereof and will not supplant services already available within the territory of the CFD as of the date hereof.
5. Special Tax. Except to the extent that funds are otherwise available to the CFD to pay for the Services, one or more special taxes (the “Special Tax”) sufficient to pay the costs thereof, secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the CFD, will be levied annually within the CFD, and collected in the same manner as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, or in such other manner as this Council or its designee shall determine, including direct billing of the affected property owners. The proposed rate and method of 77 apportionment of the Special Tax (the “Rate and Method”) among the parcels of real property within the CFD in sufficient detail to allow each landowner within the proposed CFD to estimate the maximum amount such owner will have to pay, are described in Exhibit B, attached hereto, and hereby incorporated herein. This Council hereby finds that the provisions of Section 53313.6, 53313.7 and 53313.9 of the Act (relating to adjustments to ad valorem property taxes and schools financed by a community facilities district) are inapplicable to the proposed CFD.
6. Exempt Property. Except as may otherwise be provided by law or by the Rate and Method, all lands owned by any public entity, including the United States, the State of California, the County or the City, or any departments or political subdivisions thereof, shall be omitted from the levy of the Special Tax to be made to cover the costs and expenses of the Services and the CFD. In addition, properties in the CFD shall be exempt from the Special Tax to the extent required by the Act. If any portion of the property within the CFD becomes for any reason exempt, wholly or in part, from the levy of the Special Tax, this Council will, on behalf of the CFD, increase the levy to the extent necessary upon the remaining property within the CFD that is not exempt in order to yield the annual expenses of the CFD, if any, subject to the provisions of the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax.
7. Election. The levy of the Special Tax in the CFD shall be subject to the approval of the qualified electors of the CFD at a special election. The proposed voting procedure shall be by a mailed or hand-delivered ballot among the landowners in the proposed CFD, with each owner having one vote for each acre or portion of an acre such owner owns in the CFD, not exempt from the Special Tax.
8. CFD Report. The City Engineer (or deputy or designee thereof) is hereby directed to study the proposed Services and to make, or cause to be made, and file with the City Clerk, a report in writing (the “CFD Report”), which shall be a part of the record of the public hearing hereinafter specified and which shall present the following:
(a) A description of the Services that will be required to adequately meet the needs of the CFD.
(b) An estimate of the fair and reasonable cost of the Services and incidental expenses in connection therewith, and all other related costs.

Livermore Avenue, Livermore, California, as the time and place when and where this Council, as legislative body for the CFD, will conduct a public hearing on the establishment of the CFD and consider and finally determine whether the public interest, convenience and necessity require the formation of the CFD and the levy of the Special Tax.
10. Notice of Hearing. The City Clerk is hereby directed to cause notice of the public hearing to be given by publication one time in a newspaper published in the area of the CFD. The publication shall be completed at least 7 days before the date of the public hearing specified above.
78 The notice of the public hearing shall be substantially in the form specified in Section 53322 of the Act, with the form summarizing the provisions hereof hereby specifically approved.

E. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax, no Special Tax shall be levied on Open Space Property, Property Owner’s Association Property, Undeveloped Property, Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for any use other than the purposes set forth in the easement, or Public Property, except as otherwise provided in Sections 53317.3, 53317.5 and 533401 of the Act.
No Special Tax shall be levied on any Assessor’s Parcel in any Fiscal Year in which such Assessor’s Parcel is classified as Welfare Exempt Property.
F. APPEAL OF SPECIAL TAX LEVY
Any property owner may file a written appeal of the Special Tax with the CFD Administrator claiming that the amount or application of the Special Tax is not correct. The appeal must be filed not later than one calendar year after having paid the Special Tax that is disputed, and the appellant must be current in all payments of the Special Tax. In addition, during the term of the appeal process, all Special Tax levied must be paid on or before the payment date established when the levy was made.
EXHIBIT B Page 14 of 15
97 City of Livermore
Community Facilities District No. 2023-2 (Arroyo Vista Maintenance and Services) Page 15 The appeal must specify the reasons why the appellant claims the Special Tax is in error. The CFD Administrator shall review the appeal, meet with the appellant if the CFD Administrator deems necessary, and advise the appellant of its determination.
If the property owner disagrees with the CFD Administrator’s decision relative to the appeal, the owner may then file a written appeal with the City Council whose subsequent decision shall be final and binding on all interested parties. If the decision of the CFD Administrator or subsequent decision by the City Council requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, then an adjustment shall be made to credit the Special Tax in future years.
This procedure shall be exclusive and its exhaustion by any property owner shall be a condition precedent to filing any legal action by such owner.
G. INTERPRETATIONS OF RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT
The City reserves the right to make administrative and technical changes to this document that do not materially affect the rate and method of apportioning the Special Tax. In addition, the interpretation and application of any section of this document shall be at the City’s discretion.
Interpretations may be made by the City Council by ordinance or resolution for purposes of clarifying any vagueness or ambiguity in this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax.
H. MANNER AND DURATION OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided that the City may directly bill the Special Tax, may collect the Special Tax at a different time or in a different manner if needed to meet the financial obligations of CFD No. 2023- 2, and may collect delinquent Special Taxes through available methods.
The Special Tax shall be levied commencing in Fiscal Year 2024-25 to the extent necessary to satisfy the Annual Special Tax Requirement and shall be levied each Fiscal Year thereafter for as long as required to satisfy the Annual Special Tax Requirement. However, should Initiative #1935 be included as an initiative measure at election and subsequently be approved by voters, the duration of the Special Tax is 500 years.
I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX
The Special Tax may not be prepaid.
J. REPEAL OF SPECIAL TAX
If the levy of the Special Tax is repealed by initiative or any other action participated in by the owners of Assessor’s Parcels in CFD No. 2023-2, the City shall cease to levy the Special Tax and shall cease to be obligated to provide the authorized services for which the Special Tax was levied. The obligations to provide the authorized services previously funded by the repealed Special Tax shall become the joint obligations of the property owners of Assessor’s Parcels within CFD No. 2023-2.

98 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.6
DATE: December 11, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Paul Spence, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution recommending the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution:
Recommend the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act;
Approving the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan; and
Authorizing the City Manager to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) is a recipient of Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funding and the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG), both of which require the City to complete a Local Roadway Safety Plan by December 31, 2023.
The Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan (Plan) is funded through a grant provided by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The goal of the Plan is to reduce collisions and enhance safety on City roads. It is a comprehensive plan that creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze traffic safety related issues at high-risk locations and recommend safety enhancements.
Adopting the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan will allow staff to seek future funding opportunities for the recommended safety improvements. Staff expects to administratively update the Plan every five years.
DISCUSSION
The development of the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan is funded by Caltrans to help local agencies take a more proactive approach to identifying safety improvement projects. Plan development 99 began in early 2023 and the project team made up of City staff and consultants collected historical collision data, conducted extensive community outreach, and identified, analyzed and prioritized roadway and intersection safety improvement elements that are suitable for future Highway Safety Improvement Program and other safety-related grant opportunities.
The analysis of 5-year (2015-2019) pre-pandemic historical collision data identified high-injury roadway segments and intersections in Livermore. Pre-pandemic data was used to better represent the typical traffic patterns on Livermore roads. These high-injury networks are illustrated in Attachment 1.
Community and stakeholder input was vital to the development of the Plan. To engage the community and stakeholders, staff conducted several virtual meetings this year and reached out to bicycle advocates for feedback. In addition to virtual meetings and attending Back to School Night events at Livermore middle and high schools, staff distributed pamphlets at farmers markets, the 2023 Downtown Street Fest, and to downtown businesses. Project flyers were also posted in downtown kiosks, in the local newspaper, and on social media platforms. In addition to the comments received through virtual meetings, nearly 150 comments were received through the project website.
A total of eight (8) types of safety projects, as listed below, were developed for high-risk intersections and corridors. Safety improvement measures and project locations for each safety project were identified based on data analysis, staff, stakeholder and community input. The locations recommended for each type of project are included in Attachment 2.
Project 1 - Improve safety at signalized intersections: Improve signal timing (coordination, phases, red, yellow, or operation).
Project 2 - Improve pedestrian safety at signalized intersection: Install flashing beacons as advance warning, install advance stop bars before crosswalks (bicycle box), and modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI).
Project 3 - Improve safety at non-signalized intersections: Install/upgrade larger or additional stop signs or other intersection warning/regulatory signs, install flashing beacons as advance warning, install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB).
Project 4 - Citywide signal upgrades: Improve signal hardware including lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, size of signal, and number of signals.
Project 5 - Citywide streetlight inventory: Add intersection lighting (signalized intersection), add intersection lighting (non-signalized intersection), add street lighting (roadway segment).
Project 6 - Citywide sign inventory: Install/upgrade signs with new fluorescent sheeting (regulatory or warning).
Project 7 - Improve safety on corridors: Install dynamic/variable speed warning signs.
Project 8 - Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on corridors: Install/upgraded pedestrian crossings (with enhanced safety features), install rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB), and install separated bike lanes.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3) because approval of the City's Local Roadway Safety Plan does not meet CEQA's definition of a "project" since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Likewise, the project does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environmental. The Local Roadway Safety Plan is exempt 100
under Guidelines Section 15262, since it is a planning study for possible future actions which have not been approved, adopted, or funded and does not require the preparation of an EIR or negative declaration. Any future project that results from the Local Roadway Safety Plan will have its own analysis for compliance with CEQA.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE IMPACTS
The Local Roadway Safety Plan is funded in the Operation Budget, with $84,000 of Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Plan funds and $9,500 of Measure B Local Street and Road funds (Fund 678) as a local match. The proposed safety improvements in the Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan will be implemented as part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program.

RESOLUTION NO. ________
IN THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LIVERMORE, CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THE LIVERMORE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN IS
EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
AND APPROVING THE LIVERMORE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN
The City of Livermore (“City”) is a recipient of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funding and the One Bay Area Grant (OBAG), both of which require the City to complete a Local Roadway Safety Plan by December 31, 2023.
The Livermore Local Roadway Safety Plan is a comprehensive plan that creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze traffic safety related issues and recommend projects and countermeasures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Livermore’s Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a comprehensive plan that creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze traffic safety-related issues and recommend projects and countermeasures.
It aims to reduce collisions through a prioritized list of improvements that can enhance safety on local roadways.
Livermore’s LRSP takes a proactive approach to addressing safety needs. It is viewed as a guidance document that can be a source of information and ideas. It is also a living document, one that is routinely reviewed and updated by City staff and their safety partners to reflect evolving collision trends and community needs and priorities. With the LRSP as a guide, the City will be able to apply for grant funds, such as the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Safe Streets for All (SS4A), One Bay Area Grant (OBAG), etc. This document summarizes the analysis of collisions that occurred in Livermore, identifies high-injury network, and recommends countermeasures at these high-risk locations.
The development of Livermore’s LRSP seeks to create a safe, connected, and efficient citywide active transportation network that also provides safe access to schools. It includes descriptions of policies, infrastructure projects, and supporting programs while identifying funding sources and implementation strategies for projects that enhance bicycling and walking in Livermore.
This LRSP is funded through a grant provided by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). This plan was initiated by Caltrans to help local agencies take a more proactive approach to identifying safety improvement projects by completing a systemwide, multi-year data-driven analysis of collisions. The intent of this plan is to assist local agencies in performing a collision analysis, identifying safety issues on their roadway networks, and developing a list of systemic low-cost countermeasures that can be used to prepare future HSIP and other safety program grants.

GOALS OF THE LRSP
Goal 1: Identify and analyze road safety issues from a systemic perspective and recommend improvements
Goal 2: Improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety through the application of proven effective countermeasures
Goal 3: Coordinate the actions of key stakeholders to implement road safety improvements and emergency response in the City of Livermore
Goal 4: Continually seek funding for safety improvements Goal 5: Ensure that all safety improvements are made in a fair and equitable manner for all residents of the City of Livermore
PROCESS
The systemic approach in preparing the LRSP involves the following steps:
Develop plan goals and objectives
Analyze collision data
Engage stakeholders/safety partners
Determine focus areas and identify crash reduction strategies Prioritize countermeasures/projects
Prepare the LRSP
COLLISION DATA
Collision data was obtained for a five-year period from 2015 to 2019 from the City of Livermore Crossroads Software’s Traffic Collision Database. Factors such as collision severity, type of collision, primary collision factor, lighting, weather, and time were analyzed. Following this, a detailed analysis was conducted for killed and severe injury (KSI) collisions that have occurred on the city’s roadways, including analyzing intersection and roadway segment collisions separately.
COLLISION TRENDS
Key findings on patterns and trends:
A total of 1,142 injury collisions occurred between 2015 and 2019. 16 collisions resulted in fatality, 52 collisions resulted in severe injuries, 386 resulted in a visible injury, and 688 resulted in a complaint of pain injury. The year 2017 had highest number of injury collisions with 268 collisions, and 2015 had the lowest number of injury collisions with 192 collisions.
The highest number of injury collisions occurred within 250 feet of an intersection (82%). Broadside and Rear-End collisions, each accounted for 32% and 27% of total injury collisions respectively.
EXHIBIT A
115
3 | P a g e L i v e r m o r e R o a d w a y S a f e t y P l a n
Unsafe speed accounted for 26% of all injury collisions, followed by automobile right-of-way violation (21%) and pedestrian violation (19%).
Most of the KSI collisions occurred between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. (11%). Motor vehicle involved with other motor vehicles contributed to 61% of injury collisions followed by motor vehicle involved with a fixed object (11%), motor vehicle involved with a pedestrian (10%), and bicycle (9%).
There were a total of 209 bicycle and pedestrian injury collisions within the study period, of which 109 were pedestrian and 100 bicycle collisions.
HIGH RISK LOCATIONS
The collision rate analysis was performed on all City streets. The high risk locations were ranked to show the top 11 high-collision intersections and top 10 high-collision roadway segments.
Key findings of identifying high-risk intersections are as follows:
There were a total of 940 injury collisions that occurred at the intersection A total of 14 collisions led to KSI
The intersection of Patterson Pass Road & Greenville Road and First Street & Southfront Road had the highest number of injury collisions, whereas intersection of First Street and Portola Avenue slip ramp had the highest number of KSI Collisions.
Key findings of identifying high-risk roadway segment are as follows:
There were a total of 202 injury collisions that occurred on roadway segments A total of 27 collisions led to KSI
First Street and Murrieta Boulevard corridors have the highest number of KSI collisions.
EMPHASIS AREAS
Emphasis areas are focus areas for the LRSP that are identified through the comprehensive collision analysis of the identified high injury locations within the City of Livermore. The five emphasis areas identified for the City of Livermore are:
Address Broadside Collisions & Automobile Right of Way Violations Improve Rear End Collisions & Unsafe Speeds
Reduce Nighttime Collisions
o Collisions occurring in low or no natural lighting conditions Address Pedestrian Safety Collisions
o Vehicle-pedestrian collisions (Vehicle-pedestrian collisions are any crash involving both a motor vehicle and a pedestrian)
o Pedestrian right-of-way violations (These collisions involve instances where pedestrians fail to follow traffic rules, such as jaywalking or ignoring signals, leading to collisions with vehicles)
EXHIBIT A
116

Improve Intersection Safety
o Collisions within 250 feet of intersections
VIABLE SAFETY PROJECTS
A set of eight safety projects were created for the high-risk intersections and roadway segments. Project 1: Improve safety at signalized intersections: Improve signal timing (coordination, phases, red, yellow, or operation)
Project 2: Improve pedestrian safety at signalized intersections: Install flashing beacons as advance warning (S.I), Install an advance stop bar before crosswalk (Bicycle Box), Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
Project 3: Improve safety at non-signalized Intersections: Install/upgrade larger or additional stop signs or other intersection warning/regulatory signs, Install flashing beacons as an advance warning (NS.I.), and Install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Project 4: Citywide signal upgrade: Improve signal hardware: lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, size, and number
Project 5: Citywide street light inventory: Add intersection lighting (signalized intersection), Add intersection lighting (non-signalized intersection), Add segment lighting (roadway segment) Project 6: Citywide sign inventory: Install/Upgrade signs with new fluorescent sheeting (regulatory or warning)
Project 7: Improve safety on corridors: Install dynamic/variable speed warning signs Project 8: Improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on corridors: Install/upgrade pedestrian crossing (with enhanced safety features), Install Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB), Install separated bike lanes

REPORT ORGANIZATION
Chapter 1 summarizes the project background and study area for the LRSP.
Chapter 2 summarizes the involvement of safety partners, which is critical to the success of the LRSP.
For the City of Livermore, this included City Staff from the Community and Economic Development Department, Engineering Division and Planning Division, Livermore Public Works Streets, Livermore Public Works Sanitation, Livermore Police Department, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, Bike East Bay, Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, Caltrans, and Livermore residents. This chapter introduces the safety partners and summarizes the involvement of the stakeholders in the LRSP process.
Chapter 3 summarizes City and regional planning documents and projects that are relevant to the LRSP. It ensures that the recommendations of the LRSP are in line with existing goals, objectives, policies, or projects.
Chapter 4 summarizes the data analysis approach and presents preliminary as well as detailed collision analysis and findings in the study area. This analysis of collisions is performed by facility type (intersection and roadway segment). Collision data was obtained and analyzed for a five-year period from 2015 to 2019 from CROSSROADS. This time period was chosen because 2020 data were provisional at the time of the analysis. It should be noted that in many situations, the safety measures implemented post-collision may result in eliminating or reducing future collisions. For post-2020 collisions, future reviews and updates of the LRSP will be required to capture those collisions. *CROSSROADS: Crossroads Software's Traffic Collision Database is a powerful yet simple, solid yet flexible program for data input and management, queries and reports, and data analysis for traffic collisions, citations, and Driving Under Influence (DUI). Used by cities and counties throughout California. The Traffic Collision Database provides data input and management for collisions, citations, and DUIs; queries and reports, including historical, high incidence, and monthly, as well as collision reports by day and hour and other parameters; graphs and charts for such categories as the highest degree of injury, collision type, weather and lighting conditions, and much more.
Chapter 5 summarizes emphasis areas that a focus of the LRSP. They are identified through three broad methodologies: analysis of data that identifies where various collisions have occurred within the City of Livermore, analysis of actual or potential collision locations relative to context, and evaluation of social and behavioral factors that are attributable to increased risk of collisions.
Chapter 6 summarizes engineering countermeasures that were selected for each of the high-risk locations and for the emphasis areas. These were based on approved countermeasures from the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) used in HSIP-grant calls for projects. The intention is to provide the City of Livermore with the potential countermeasures for each location that can be implemented either in future HSIP calls for projects or using other funding sources, such as the Capital
EXHIBIT A
118
6 | P a g e L i v e r m o r e R o a d w a y S a f e t y P l a n Improvement Program (CIP). Non-engineering countermeasures were also selected and are included in the emphasis areas.
Chapter 7 a set of eight safety projects were created for high-risk intersections and roadway segments, using HSIP approved countermeasures. Through the collision analysis process, locations were identified as projects of interest including six signalized intersections, four non-signalized intersections, and 10 roadway segments. These locations were selected taking into account community feedback on areas of concern in collaboration with City staff and were chosen to represent different situations or conditions that can be observed on the roadways seen throughout the City of Livermore. To aid in the preparation of HSIP grant applications, each project is accompanied by a cost estimate and benefit/cost ratio. This chapter also includes additional funding sources that can be used to finance safety projects around the City. The funding list includes regional, state, and federal funding programs, along with a description of the program’s purpose.
Chapter 8 summarizes evaluation and implementation strategies. The LRSP is a guidance document that is recommended to be updated every two to five years in coordination with the safety partners.
The LRSP document provides engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical servicerelated countermeasures that can be implemented throughout the City to reduce traffic collisions.
After implementing countermeasures, the performance measures for each emphasis area should be evaluated annually. The most important measure of success of the LRSP should be reducing collisions throughout the City. If the number of injury collisions does not decrease over time, then the emphasis areas and countermeasures should be re-evaluated.
In addition to the quantitative and geographic data analyzed as part of this project, outreach to stakeholders and the public was also performed to collect and understand local safety issues from a qualitative perspective.

1. Project Background
WHAT IS AN LRSP?
The Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) is a localized data-driven traffic safety plan that provides opportunities to address unique roadway safety needs and reduce the number of collisions. The LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze traffic safety-related issues, and recommend safety projects and countermeasures. It facilitates the development of local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in the development of a prioritized list of improvements that can qualify for HSIP funding. The LRSP is a proactive approach to addressing safety needs and is viewed as a living document that can be constantly reviewed and revised to reflect evolving trends, and community needs and priorities.
STUDY AREA
The City of Livermore is located in Alameda County, California. Livermore is the one of most populous cities in the Tri-Valley, giving its name to the Livermore Valley. It is located on the eastern edge of California's San Francisco Bay Area. The City covers a total area of 26.45 square miles. Interstate 580 passes the outskirts of the City of Livermore before it heads east through the Altamont Pass to the Central Valley and Interstate 580. The City’s estimated population is 86,803 (2021 ACS Five-Year Estimates). Interstate 680 lies on the west, and Highway 84 heads southwest from Interstate 580. These nearest cities include Pleasanton towards the west and Dublin to the northwest, Spring Town to the north, and unincorporated areas of Alameda County to the south and southeast. The study area is mapped in Figure 1.

20 | P a g e L i v e r m o r e R o a d w a y S a f e t y P l a n Equity
Commit to equity in all aspects of Safe System, including data analysis that acknowledges and addresses reporting biases, project prioritization efforts that promote projects in historically underinvested communities rather than providing unequal opportunities to those with the historically “loudest” voices or most resources for civic participation, and implementation strategies that follow data-driven approaches.
Ongoing Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of outcomes, including collision trends and project delivery, through the empaneling of a standing Working Group and ongoing collaboration between City departments, other local and regional agencies, and other stakeholders.
Safe Streets
Enhance safety for all roadway users through both roadway design and engineering improvements as well as non-engineering countermeasures such as outreach, education and enforcement. To support safe travel for people walking and biking, who are especially vulnerable in crashes, special focus should be paid near commercial areas, schools, recreational facilities, areas that are poorly lit at nighttime, and other areas where people walking and biking are present in high numbers or are vulnerable.
Reducing Injury Collisions
Reducing injury collisions on the city roads.

3. Existing Planning Efforts
This chapter provides a review of previous and ongoing planning efforts that are relevant to enhancing transportation safety in Livermore. Livermore aims to achieve a multimodal roadway system that responds to the evolving transportation landscape and addresses safer mobility for all. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure the LRSP vision, goals, and 8 E's strategies (Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Equity, Engagement, and Evaluation) are aligned with prior planning efforts, planned transportation projects, and noninfrastructure programs for the City.
Table 2 outlines key resources for improving street safety through transportation plans, design guidelines, and area plans. Many of these documents establish goals or visions for the safe movement of people throughout Livermore, including enhancing the safety of active modes for people of all ages and abilities to help achieve transportation mode shares and environmental targets.
The following sections include brief descriptions of these documents and how they inform the development of the LRSP. A detailed list of relevant policies and projects is listed in Appendix B. 3 EXISTING PLANNING EFFORTS

City of Livermore General
Plan (Circulation Element)
(2004) Amend. 2014
(The General Plan Update
process is anticipated to be
completed by Summer 2024)
The City of Livermore General Plan was adopted in 2004 and the circulation element was last amended in 2014. The purpose of the circulation element is to identify the anticipated circulation needs, indicate the location and extent of the existing and proposed circulation network, and provide policies and priorities for circulation system improvements. The general plan would balance the need to provide efficient ways to travel from one place to another and also serve goals to revitalize the Downtown and limit non-local cut-through traffic on city streets. Major streets are typically four- to six-lane divided facilities.
The Vision statement of the on-going Livermore General Plan Update: “In 2045, Livermore will be a community with a big heart where families and individuals flourish, and people with diverse experiences and perspectives work together for the common good. Insightful land-use policies and wise resource management will ensure services and infrastructure for a high quality of life and enable Livermore to be safe and welcoming for all.”

The goal of NTCP 2020 is to implement measures approved by the neighborhood that would improve the safety and quality of life of the residents, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. The plan through policies and standards has addressed key objectives that reflect proposed improvements and pedestrian/bike management to operate and manage site pedestrian/bike requirements. The Plan also prioritizes implementation goals and objectives that will guide in
development of the City’s Local Road Safety Plan.
Alameda Safe Routes to
School Program (2019)
The program promotes safe and healthy transportation choices as being fun and easy options for parents and children
throughout Alameda County. The Alameda County SR2S program seeks to distribute Safe Routes to School programming equitably around the County. The program seeks to increase the number of students who use active (walking and biking) or shared
(carpooling, school bus, and transit) travel modes to get to and from school. The plan also addresses the Bicycle Safety Education program and encourages bicycle riding among the residents. The Alameda County Safe Routes to School (SR2S) programs aim to encourage students and their families to move away from singlefamily car trips and towards healthier, more sustainable modes of walking, biking, carpooling, and transit. Looking at student and parent barriers to walking and biking,
environmental/infrastructure issues that make walking and biking easy or difficult, and education, support, and incentives to encourage walking, communities have increased the number of students that walk and bike to school. The program establishes objectives that can serve as a guide for the Local Road Safety Plan as it works to create safe school environments.

The Alameda Countywide Active Transportation Plan
(Countywide ATP) provides a vision, goals, and priorities to improve walking and biking throughout the 15 diverse
jurisdictions in Alameda County. The Countywide ATP was developed to establish countywide priorities that further local agencies’ efforts. The plan also addresses community concerns about pedestrian quality and safety, better access to transit, affordable transit fares, safe biking and walking, and pavement quality. The plan also includes strategies to improve safety on high-injury networks, work on speed limit setting and safer multimodal travel, and also make sure of enhancing safety at AtGrade Rail Crossings. The plan further provided resources and recommendations that could be used by local jurisdictions. This plan will help guide the safety improvements and strategies to be recommended in the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan to ensure consistency.

(2016)
The purpose of this SRTP is to provide an understanding of Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA)’s existing conditions, discuss standards achieved, evaluate performance metrics, provide recommendations, and plan for operational sustainability over the next 10 years. LAVTA recently updated the bus system routes after the adoption of this plan. The plan provides equal access to a variety of safe, affordable, and reliable public transportation choices, increasing mobility and improving the quality of life of those who live and work in the Tri-Valley area.
The Plan focuses on multi-use, increases multi-modal
connectivity, and better transit facilities and infrastructure to be recommended in the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan.
Equity
Isabel Neighborhood
Specific Plan (2022)
The Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan established a new regulatory framework for guiding private and public
development within the Isabel Neighborhood over the next 20 years. The Plan’s regulatory framework replaces the existing land use designations of the General Plan as well as the zoning regulations of the Livermore Development Code. The Plan will guide future development of the area surrounding the Isabel Valley Link Station in the I-580 median at Isabel Avenue. The Plan is a “Specific Plan”, which has been an effective tool used by the City of Livermore to meet community goals for and guide the transformation of several specific areas within the city. In the Isabel Neighborhood area, the abundance of vacant land near the proposed Valley Link station is a major opportunity for shaping a new neighborhood for the city centered on a major transit hub.

4. Collision Data and Analysis
A primary component of the LRSP is the identification of locations with elevated risk of collisions either through their collision histories or their similarities to other locations that have more active collision patterns. A summary of the data utilized and key findings is included in this chapter.
The LRSP focuses on systemically identifying and analyzing traffic safety issues and recommends appropriate safety improvements. The chapter starts with a comprehensive analysis of collisions of all severity types in Livermore and compares this with the KSI (killed and severe injury) collisions. Factors such as collision severity, type of collision, primary collision factor, lighting, weather, and time were analyzed. Following this, a more detailed analysis was conducted for KSI collisions that have occurred on the city’s roadways, including analyzing intersection and roadway segment collisions separately.
DATA COLLECTION
Collision data helps to understand different factors that might be leading to collisions and influencing collision patterns in a given area. For this analysis, five years of jurisdiction-wide collision data (2015 to 2019) was retrieved from CROSSROADS. Collisions that occurred along SR 84 are not part of this analysis since SR 84 is relinquished by the City. The collision data was analyzed and plotted in ArcMap to identify high-risk intersections and roadway segments. Each collision was assigned to the nearest intersection within 250 feet, or the nearest roadway segment if no intersection was within range. A raw count of crashes was calculated for each intersection and roadway segment, and intersection collisions were separated by signalized and non-signalized locations.
COLLISION HISTORY
The time periods have been classified into five discrete one-year periods for this analysis:
Year 1 – January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015
Year 2 – January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016
Year 3 – January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017
Year 4 – January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018
Year 5 – January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019
Figure 6 illustrates all the injury collisions that have occurred in the City of Livermore from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019.

COLLISION CLASSIFICATION
The total number of collisions reported in five years (2015-2019) was 4,520. Among all collisions reported in the City of Livermore, 1,363 injury collisions and 3,157 collisions were PDOs (Property Damaged Only). Among 1,363 injury collisions 221 were found to be on Isabel Ave (SR84).
There were a total of 1,142 injury collisions reported on the City of Livermore roads from 2015 to 2019.
Out of these, 688 collisions (60%) led to complaint of pain injury and 386 collisions (34%) led to a visible injury. There were 68 KSI collisions, of which 52 collisions (5%) led to a severe injury and 16 collisions (1%) resulted in a fatality. Figure 7 illustrates the classification of all collisions based on severity.
The analysis first includes a comparative evaluation between all injury collisions and KSI collisions, based on various factors including (but not limited to): collision trend, primary collision factor, collision type, facility type, motor vehicle involved with, weather, lighting, and time of the day. Following this, a comprehensive analysis is conducted for only KSI collisions. KSI collisions cause the most damage to those affected and to infrastructure. Aside from the human toll exacted against the crash victims, emotional impacts are endured by family and friends, by witnesses, and by first responders. There are also financial burdens endured by victims and their families as well as by the community and society as a whole. The LRSP process thus focuses on these collision locations to proactively identify countersafety issues leading to these KSI collisions.
The reported collisions categorized by facility type and collision severity are presented in Table 3.

YEARLY TREND
The number of reported injury collisions of all severities increased between 2015 and 2017, whereas the injury collisions decreased from 2017 to 2019. The year with the highest number of injury collisions was 2017 (268 collisions), while the year with the lowest number of injury collisions was 2015 (192 collisions). The yearly total for all years is 68 KSI collisions occurred in the City of Livermore during the study period, is overall consistent from 2015 to 2019. The least number of KSI collisions occurred in 2016 (9 collisions), while the most occurred in both 2018 and 2019 (17 collisions each). Figure 8 illustrates the five-year collision trend for all injury collisions and KSI collisions.

30 | P a g e L i v e r m o r e R o a d w a y S a f e t y P l a n Vehicle-Pedestrian collisions are any crash
involving both a motor vehicle and a
pedestrian.
An Overturned collision is any type of crash
that results in at least one vehicle rotating 90
degrees or more side to-side or end-to-end.
A Head-on collision is between two vehicles
where the primary point of contact was the
front of both vehicles.
Hit Object collisions are between a vehicle
and non-vehicular object in or near the
roadway
Sideswipe collisions are between vehicles, typically
traveling the same direction, where the primary
point of contact was the side of the vehicles.
A Rear-end collision is between two vehicles
traveling in the same direction where the front of
one vehicle contacts the rear of another.
Broadside collisions are between vehicles on
conflicting paths where the front of one vehicle
contacts the side of another.
Unknown/Other collisions describe any reported
collision that was not consistent with one of the
primary collision types above or where collision
type was not coded into the collision database.
COLLISION TYPE
Among all injury collisions, the most commonly occurring collision type was broadside type collisions (32%) and rear-end type collisions (27%). The collision types for KSI collisions follow a different pattern, where the most commonly occurring collision type was vehicle/pedestrian collisions (34%), hit object collisions (25%), and broadside (18%).

GEOGRAPHIC COLLISION ANALYSIS
The above collision analysis was used to identify five main collision factors that highlight the top trends among collisions in the City of Livermore. These five collision factors were identified to be rear-end collisions, broadside collisions, nighttime collisions, unsafe speed violations, and pedestrian collisions.
REAR END TYPE COLLISIONS
Rear-End collisions represented 27% of all injury collisions and 4% of KSI collisions. Figure 26 shows the distribution of rear-end collisions throughout the City of Livermore between 2015 and 2019. East Stanley Boulevard and North Vasco Road have a higher concentration of rear-end collisions, compared to other Livermore roads.
BROADSIDE TYPE COLLISIONS
Broadside collisions caused 32% of all injury collisions and 18% when considering only KSI collisions.
It was the most common collision type among KSI collisions. Figure 27 shows the distribution of broadside collisions throughout the City of Livermore. Maple Street, Third Street, and Fourth Street have a higher concentration of broadside collisions, compared to other Livermore roads.
NIGHTTIME TYPE COLLISIONS
Collisions occurring at night represented 30% of all injury collisions, but rose significantly to 44% when considering KSI collisions, indicating that lighting may be a factor in those collisions. Figure 28 shows the distribution of nighttime collisions throughout the City of Livermore. First Street and Livermore Avenue have a higher concentration of nighttime collisions, compared to other roads in the City of Livermore.
UNSAFE SPEED VIOLATIONS
Unsafe speed violations resulted in 26% of all injury collisions, and 21% of KSI collisions in Livermore, the highest of any violation type among all injury collisions. Figure 29 shows the distribution of unsafe speed collisions throughout the City of Livermore. East Stanley Avenue, First Street, and Livermore Avenue have a higher concentration of unsafe speed collisions, compared to other Livermore roads.
PEDESTRIAN TYPE COLLISIONS
Vehicle/pedestrian collisions accounted for 34% of all injury collisions compared to 10% of KSI collisions. Figure 30 shows the distribution of pedestrian collisions throughout the City of Livermore.
East Stanley Avenue, First Street, and Las Positas Road have a higher concentration of pedestrian collisions, compared to other Livermore roads.

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE COLLISIONS
Out of 1,142 injury collisions, 209 collisions (18%)
involved pedestrian and bicycle collisions. There
were 27 (13%) KSI (killed and severe injury)
collisions, of which 20 collisions (74%) led to a
severe injury and seven collisions (26%) led to a
fatality. Figure 31 illustrates the classification of
pedestrian and bicycle collisions based on severity
on city roads.
People walking or biking are particularly vulnerable
in the event of a collision, as they lack the
protection afforded to them by being inside a
motor vehicle. As a result, collisions involving
people walking or biking are more likely to result in
injury and fatality.
Figure 32 and Figure 33 illustrate all the pedestrian and bicycle collisions that have occurred in the City from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2019.

COLLISION SEVERITY WEIGHT
The Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) method was used to identify the high-severity collision network. The EPDO method accounts for both the severity and frequency of collisions by converting each collision to an equivalent number of property damage-only (PDO) collisions. The EPDO method assigns a crash cost and score to each collision according to the severity of the crash weighted by the comprehensive crash cost. These EPDO scores are calculated using a simplified version of the comprehensive crash costs per HSIP Cycle 12 application. The weights used in the analysis are shown below in Table 4.
Table 4 EPDO Score used in HSIP Cycle 12
Collision Severity EPDO Score
Fatal and Severe Injury Combined 165*
Visible Injury 11
Possible Injury 6
PDO 1
*This is the score used in HSIP Cycle 12 for collisions on roadway segments, to simplify the analysis this study uses the same score for all KSI collisions regardless of location.
EPDO is used because it provides a methodology for the project team to understand the locations in Livermore that are experiencing the most severe crashes. Because of the high score given to fatal and severe injury crashes, locations that have these types of crashes are more likely to receive a higher EPDO score than other locations that may have more collisions, but fewer killed or severe injury collisions.
Locations that have the highest EPDO scores are selected for inclusion in the high collision network, shown in the next section. Identified intersections are scored based on collisions occurring at or within 250 feet of the intersection, while roadway segment locations are identified based on collisions that occur along the segment, except directly at an intersection (0 feet from the intersection per CROSSROADS data). Identifying the locations with the most severe crashes allows the team to focus on recommended solutions and countermeasures at these locations.
The EPDO scores for all injury collisions can then be aggregated in a variety of ways to identify collision patterns, such as location hot spots. The weighted collisions for the City of Livermore were geolocated onto Livermore’s road network. GIS is then used to calculate the EPDO score for each roadway segment and intersection citywide, which is then ranked according to its score.
Figure 34 shows the location and geographic concentration of collisions by their EPDO score.

HIGH INJURY NETWORK
Following the detailed collision analysis, the next step was to identify the high-injury roadway segments and intersections in Livermore. The methodology for scoring the high-injury locations is the same method as used in the severity weight section. Figure 35 shows the top 10 high-collision roadway segments and top 11 high-collision intersections.
For the high collision network analysis, intersections include injury collisions that occurred within 250 feet of it and roadways include all collisions that occurred along the roadway in addition to collisions that occurred directly at an intersection. The weights used in the analysis are shown in Table 4.

5. Emphasis Areas
Emphasis areas are focus areas for the LRSP that are identified through the comprehensive collision analysis of the identified high-injury locations within the City of Livermore. Emphasis areas help in identifying appropriate safety strategies and countermeasures with the greatest potential to reduce collisions occurring at these highinjury locations. They can include but not be limited to specific collision types, human behaviors, facility types, and specific locations or corridors.
This section summarizes the top five (5) emphasis areas identified for Livermore. These emphasis areas were derived from the consolidated high-injury collision database (Appendix C) where top injury factors were identified by combing the data manually. The high-injury collision database contains only collisions occurring at the high-injury intersections or along high injury corridors. Along with findings from the data analysis, stakeholder input was to refine the emphasis areas specific to Livermore.
Based on the systemic safety analysis that helped identify high-injury intersections and roadway segments, the top risk factors and emphasis areas determined for traffic safety in the City of Livermore are as follows:
Address Broadside Collisions & Automobile Right of Way Violations Improve Rear End Collisions & Unsafe Speed
Reduce Nighttime Collisions
o Collisions occurring in low or no natural lighting conditions Address Pedestrian Safety Collisions
o Vehicle-pedestrian collisions (Vehicle-pedestrian collisions are any crash involving both a motor vehicle and a pedestrian)
o Pedestrian right-of-way violations (These collisions involve instances where pedestrians fail to follow traffic rules, such as jaywalking or ignoring signals, leading to accidents with vehicles) o Pedestrian violations (These collisions refer to a collision where a pedestrian is identified to be at fault or causing violations)
Improve Intersection Safety
o Collisions within 250 feet of intersections
THE EIGHT E’S OF TRAFFIC SAFETY
The LRSP utilizes a comprehensive approach to safety incorporating the “8 E’s of traffic safety”: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Equity, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Engagement, and Evaluation. This approach recognizes that not all locations can be addressed solely by infrastructure improvements. Incorporating the 8 E’s of traffic safety is often required to ensure the successful implementation of significant safety improvements and reduce the severity and frequency of collisions throughout a jurisdiction.
Some of the common violation types that may require a comprehensive approach are speeding, failure to yield to pedestrians, red light running, aggressive driving, and failure to wear safety belts, distracted driving and driving while impaired. When locations are identified as having these types of violations, coordination with the 5 EMPHASIS AREAS
EXHIBIT A
167
55 | P a g e L i v e r m o r e R o a d w a y S a f e t y P l a n
appropriate law enforcement agencies is needed to arrange visible targeted enforcement to reduce the potential for future driving violations and related crashes and injuries.
To improve safety, education efforts can be used to supplement enforcement and improve the efficiency of each strategy. Education can also be employed in the short term to address high crash locations until the recommended infrastructure project can be implemented. Engineering refers to the design and maintenance of roads, intersections, and other infrastructure elements to maximize safety. Similarly, Emergency Medical Services entails strategies around supporting organizations that provide rapid response and care when responding to collisions causing injury, by stabilizing victims and transporting them to facilities.
Equity refers to examining the impact collisions have on disadvantaged communities and allocating resources to address them. Enforcement involves the implementation and monitoring of traffic laws by law enforcement agencies. Encouragement focuses on promoting positive behavior and safe practices among road users.
Evaluation involves assessing the effectiveness of various safety measures. This ongoing process helps identify areas for improvement and informs future decisions regarding traffic safety initiatives. Engagement in traffic safety refers to the active involvement and participation of stakeholders, communities, and organizations and practices that contribute to enhancing road safety.
FACTORS CONSIDERED IN THE DETERMINATION OF EMPHASIS AREAS This section presents collision data analysis of collision type, collision factors, facility type, roadway geometries, and party-involved data, analyzed for the various emphasized areas. Emphasis areas were determined by factors that led to the highest amount of injury collisions, with a specific emphasis on KSI injury collisions. Livermore experienced a total of 338 injury collisions at high-injury network locations during the 2015-2019 study period, including 35 KSI collisions. The data presented below in each emphasis area is based on these collisions.
Emphasis areas were further refined by stakeholder and community input.
Each emphasis area is accompanied by comprehensive programs, policies, and countermeasures to reduce collisions on City roads in that specific emphasis area. It will provide the basis by which the countermeasure toolbox is developed for each identified high-injury location.

6. Countermeasure Selection
IDENTIFICATION OF COUNTERMEASURES
Following the identification of high-risk locations and emphasis areas was the identification of appropriate safety countermeasures. The Caltrans LRSM provides 82 countermeasures, of which 21 are eligible in the current HSIP call for signalized intersections, 23 for un-signalized intersections, and 38 for roadway segments. The LRSM guides where to apply the countermeasures including the crash types each countermeasure would address, and a Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) for each countermeasure. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) CMF Clearinghouse and published research papers were reviewed by the project team to gain additional insight into CRFs and the effectiveness of specific countermeasures.
The project team reviewed the high-injury locations (intersections and roadway segments) using aerial photography, Google Maps Street View software, and in-person site visits. Crash characteristics of all injury collisions occurring on the High Injury Network were considered. After combining the physical and collision characteristics, the project team developed a table of preliminary countermeasures that address each of the five identified Emphasis Areas. Below are countermeasures for each high-risk location that were most commonly recommended among all Emphasis Areas. By doing this, the project team was able to identify countermeasures with the greatest opportunity for funding and systemic implementation. 6 COUNTERMEASURE SECTION

COUNTERMEASURE TOOLBOX
Engineering countermeasures were selected for each of the high-risk locations and the emphasis areas. These were based on approved countermeasures from the Caltrans LRSM used in HSIP grant calls for projects. The intention is to give the City potential countermeasures for each location that can be funded and implemented either in future HSIP calls for projects or using other funding sources, such as the City’s Capital Improvement Program. Non-engineering countermeasures were also selected using the 8 E’s strategies, and are included in the emphasis areas. The countermeasure toolbox in Appendix D details the draft countermeasures for each high-risk location and emphasis area, separated by intersections and roadway segments. While some of these countermeasures might not be ideal for some safety projects, they are included to give the City a toolbox for implementing future safety improvements through other means, such as the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The countermeasures listed below are recommended countermeasures for high-injury intersections and corridors. This list below provides a description of each countermeasure along with the CRF, federal funding eligibility, and opportunity for systemic implementation. An excerpt of the LRSM, detailing each available HSIP countermeasure referenced in the recommendations tables, is included as Appendix E.

COUNTERMEASURES TOOLBOX CRITERIA
As shown in Appendix D, some additional countermeasures that are not included in the 2022 California Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) were provided as part of the Countermeasure Toolbox for several reasons:
The countermeasures complement or enhance the efficacy of those which are included in the LRSM. The countermeasures are emerging tools that are gaining traction throughout California and/or the United States, and may not yet have a history of academic research or efficacy studies, but are likely to be included in future iterations of the LRSM or other safety guidance documents. Though the HSIP funding source is based on countermeasure documentation in the LRSM, other funding sources may be more applicable for certain projects or contexts and allow for the inclusion of other countermeasure types.
The availability of research rating for these countermeasures is listed as one of the following in the toolbox:
Low – No or limited research on safety benefits is available or safety benefits are modest Medium – Research on efficacy is available, but safety benefits are modest High – A large body of research is available and safety benefits are well-documented

7. Viable Safety Projects
This chapter summarizes the process of selecting safety projects as part of the analysis for Livermore’s LRSP.
The next step after the identification of high-injury locations, emphasis areas, and applicable countermeasures was to identify systemic and location-specific safety improvements for high-risk networks.
The most applicable and appropriate countermeasures as identified have been grouped to form projects that can help make high-risk locations safer. The countermeasures were grouped into safety projects for high-risk intersections and corridors. A total of eight (8) safety projects were developed for both intersections and corridors. Countermeasures and project locations for each safety project were identified based on the technical team’s assessment of viability which consisted of extensive analysis, observations, City staff input, and stakeholder/community input.
Table 12 lists the viable safety projects for high-risk intersections and roadway segments. 7 VIABLE SAFETY PROJECTS

HSIP GRANT PROGRAM
The HSIP program in California funds local highway safety improvement projects. The HSIP grant program primarily relies upon BCR analysis to evaluate and rank project selections, and this analysis is based upon the most recently available 3-5 years of historical crash data as entered into the Caltrans HSIP Analyzer worksheet.
As a result, HSIP applications require sufficient crash history at a project location to justify the proposed safety improvements. A systemic approach to developing HSIP applications would allow the City to group together multiple locations that similar characteristics and require similar countermeasures, aggregating the benefits and costs for those locations. Combining one location that has experienced many collisions with another contextually similar location which has experienced fewer collisions may make it possible for both to be improved through the HSIP program if the resulting aggregate BCR is sufficient for selection. Table 19 presents the summary of the application categories.

However, the maximum HSIP funds that one agency may be awarded under the BCR category is $10 million.
There are 3 different categories of locations: Signalized Intersections (SI), Non-Signalized Intersections (NS), and Roadway segments (R). Normally a BCR application only includes locations of one of the above 3 categories (S, NS, or R). Multiple categories may be selected if the application proposes corridor safety improvements or uses a systemic approach, or if the applicant chooses to bundle multiple locations in the same vicinity together.

8. Implementation and Evaluation
This chapter describes the steps the city may take to evaluate the success of this plan and the steps needed to update the plan in the future. The LRSP is a guidance document and requires periodic updates to assess its efficacy and re-evaluate potential solutions. It is recommended to update the plan every two to five years in coordination with the identified safety partners. This document was developed based on community needs, stakeholder input, and collision analysis conducted to identify priority emphasis areas throughout the city. The implementation of strategies under each emphasis area would aim to reduce KSI collisions in the coming years.
IMPLEMENTATION
The LRSP is a guidance document that is recommended to be updated every two to five years in coordination with the safety partners. The LRSP document provides engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency medical service-related countermeasures that can be implemented throughout the city to reduce KSI collisions.
It is recommended that the City of Livermore implement the selected projects in high-collision locations in coordination with other projects proposed for the city’s infrastructure development in their future Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). After implementing countermeasures, the performance measures for each emphasis area should be evaluated annually. The most important measure of success of the LRSP should be reducing injury collisions throughout the city. If the number of injury collisions does not decrease over time, then the emphasis areas and countermeasures should be re-evaluated.
Funding is a critical component of implementing any safety project. While the HSIP program is a common source of funding for safety projects, there are numerous other funding sources that could be pursued for such projects (See Table 20).

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
For the success of the LRSP, it is crucial to monitor and evaluate the 8 E’s strategies continuously. Monitoring and evaluation help provide accountability, ensure the effectiveness of the countermeasures for each emphasis area, and help make decisions on the need for new strategies. The process would help the City make informed decisions regarding the implementation plan’s progress and accordingly, update the goals and objectives of the plan.
After implementing countermeasures, the strategies should be evaluated annually as per their performance measures. The evaluation should be recorded in a before-after study to validate the effectiveness of each countermeasure as per the following observations:
Number of injury collisions
Number of police citations
Number of public comments and concerns
Evaluation should be conducted during similar time periods and durations each year. The most important measure of success of the LRSP should be a reduction in injury collisions throughout the City. If the number of injury collisions doesn’t decrease initially, then the countermeasures should be evaluated as per the other observations, as mentioned above. The effectiveness of the countermeasures should be compared to the goals for each emphasis area.
LRSP UPDATE
The LRSP is a guidance document and is recommended to be updated every two to five years after adoption.
After monitoring performance measures focused on the status and progress of the 8 E’s strategies in each emphasis area, the next LRSP update can be tailored to resolve any continuing safety problems. An annual stakeholder meeting with the safety partners is also recommended to discuss the progress for each emphasis area and oversee the implementation plan. The document should then be updated as per the latest collision data, emerging trends, and the 8 E’s strategies’ progress and implementation.

I live on the corner of Wisteria and Central. This is a blind corner. When cars are parked along Central, at this corner and down Central, it causes the cars at the stop sign atWisteria and Central to have to roll into the intersection to see if it is clear to pull onto Central. I hear horns blow all the time on Central due to cars having to roll partially into the intersection to check if it is clear to pull out when cars are parked blocking their view. When there are no cars parked on the Wisteria side of Central it is easy to see down the street and much safer. This is one of several reasons why it would be much safer for the Wisteria side of Central to be ano parking zone. Thank you for your attention to this safety issue. Motor vehicle Intersection Safety

When they pop out from between cars to cross the street to go to the daycare it is very hard to see them. Also the blind corner causes even more concern because people trying to see past the parked cars and then accelerating topull onto Central are definitely not looking for pedestrianscrossing the street. It is not safe for these families to be walking across this busy street. It is unsafe for cars to be allowed to park on the Wisteria side of Central for manyreasons including blocking driver's views to safely pull outat the blind corner and causing pedestrians to unsafelycross this street.

from Fountainhead Montessori School of Livermore it isvery unsafe. Parents and toddlers walk across what has nowbecome a very busy street which is also adjacent to a blindcorner. When they pop out from between cars to cross the street to go to the daycare it is very hard to see them. Also the blind corner causes even more concern because people trying to see past the parked cars and then accelerating topull onto Central are definitely not looking for pedestrians crossing the street. It is not safe for these families to bewalking across this busy street. It is unsafe for cars to be allowed to park on the Wisteria side of Central for many reasons including blocking driver's views to safely pull out at the blind corner and causing pedestrians to unsafely cross this street. There is plenty of parking on the daycare side of Central. The Wisteria side should be a no parkingzone. Thank you for your attention to this safety issue.

ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANDESIGN GUIDELINES (2018)
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (2013), updated in June 2012 provides guidance on dimensions, use, and layout of specific bicycle facilities.
The National Association of City Transportation Officials’ (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide (2012) is the newest publication of nationally recognized bikeway design standards, and offers guidance on the current state of the practice designs.
The AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (2011) commonly referred to as the “Green Book,” contains the current design research and practices for highway and street geometric design.
The National Association of City Transportation Officials’ (NACTO) Designing for All Ages and Abilities (2017) offers guidance on combining traffic calming tools and roadway design to create high-comfort bicycle facilities.
The following national guidelines provide information on complying with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and designing for users of all abilities:

NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC
CALMING PROGRAM (2020)
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
The goal of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is to implement measures identified by a consensus of the neighborhood to affect driver behavior in such a way that improves safety and the quality of life for residents, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. This goal is to be balanced with the City’s goal to provide quick emergency response times for emergency vehicles including fire trucks, police and ambulances.
Reduce vehicle speeds on residential streets.
Discourage cut-through traffic.
Promote conditions that encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel. Create attractive streetscapes in neighborhoods.
EXHIBIT A
222
6 Provide clear guidelines of the process to evaluate traffic calming measures.
Encourage citizen involvement in all phases of neighborhood traffic calming activities.
Make efficient use of City resources by prioritizing traffic calming requests.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT:
Emphasize in local circulation planning the need to minimize adverse environmental impacts and protect neighborhood
quality. (Circulation System Goal #6)
Provide a street system which minimizes traffic on local, minor (non-collector) streets in order to create and preserve a high quality residential environment. (Roadway Improvement Policy #10)
Incorporate roadway improvement design measures which divert through traffic from, and minimize local traffic on, local residential streets in order to protect the quality and livability of Livermore neighborhoods. (Roadway Improvement Program #11 –
Neighborhood Protection)
The Circulation Element defines the City’s existing and future roadway system, including the classification of each roadway. The Circulation Element will be referenced in order to determine the classification of the roadways. In general, the Circulation Element defines local and collector streets as follows:
Local Street: Local streets are low-speed, low-capacity minor streets that provide for circulation within neighborhoods, with direct access to abutting land uses. Street design standards and layouts are typically used to discourage through traffic movements, avoid high travel speeds and volumes, and minimize neighborhood noise and safety impacts. Curbside parking is usually permitted. Local streets are typically two-lane facilities. Collector: Collector streets are relatively low-speed, medium capacity streets which collect and distribute local traffic moving between local and major streets. Collector routes provide for circulation between neighborhoods, and divert through traffic from local streets. Direct access to abutting properties (driveway
EXHIBIT A
223
7 spacing) shall be stringently limited. Prohibitions on curbside parking may vary with road widths and traffic conditions. Collector streets are typically two- to four-lane facilities.
The circulation element currently does not differentiate between collector streets that may be primarily residential in nature to collector streets that may serve commercial and industrial areas.
CITY OF LIVERMORE FIVE-YEAR
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN|
(2023-2028)
The capital improvement plan (CIP) Budget is differentiated from the operating budget in that it involves property acquisition, design and construction of public infrastructure such as storm water and sewer system, trials, roadways and transportation infrastructure, parks, plazas and open space. Public buildings, and other city infrastructure constructed with private land development projects.
A number of considerations are applied when identifying the projects of the current CIP Budget, including:
Consistency with the General Plan
Consistency with City Council adopted master plans
Consistency with other formal long-range plans adopted by Council
Recommendations of the Council and Commissions
Input from residents and business owners
State, Federal, or other legal mandates
Potential impact to the operating budget
Benefit to the community
The need to mitigate health or safety issues

Economic vitality
Strategies are grouped into six strategy categories:
Advance equity: Equity is a cross-cutting concern across all strategies. Implementation of the 2020 CTP will consider the historical impacts of transportation investments and seek to proactively address needs of disadvantaged communities. Strategies and actions that address the mobility and access needs of low-income communities and communities of color were identified through community engagement in the CBTP, as described in Chapter 2. Strategies that advance equity are indicated with this equity icon on the following pages.
Safe Systems Approach:
These strategies support improving the safety of streets and facilities for all transportation users. Safety is an overarching priority that needs to permeate throughout the countywide transportation network and
EXHIBIT A
225
9 ALAMEDA COUNTYWIDE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PLAN (2019)
be a priority in all project planning, design, and implementation activities.
Complete Corridors Approach
These strategies support planning, design, and implementation of multimodal travel corridors centered on major arterials. Multimodal corridor planning involves a systematic approach to developing transportation improvements, rather than addressing each project, street, or mode in a silo. It requires robust partnerships and often requires balancing competing needs and considering a set of parallel facilities together to create strong multimodal travel options. Partnership to address Regional and Megaregional Issues These strategies support partnerships and coordination on issues that require regional or megaregional action. Some transportation issues are complex and involve more decision-makers than just Alameda CTC and its local partners. Examples include climate resiliency and adaptation, addressing the jobs/housing imbalance, or regional rail planning. In these cases, Alameda CTC must partner and coordinate to take effective action.
Transit Accessibility and Transportation Demand Management (TDM)
These strategies support reducing drive-alone trips by incentivizing use of other modes and making transit easy and affordable to use.
Improving public transit options and implementing transportation demand management (TDM) strategies can help reduce congestion and improve mobility options.
New Mobility and an Automated, Low- Emission and Shared Future
These strategies support the transition to low-emission and automated vehicles, including low-emission technologies for goods movement and encouragement of vehicle-sharing to reduce congestion and environmental impacts. The mobility landscape is rapidly evolving, with innovations in the form of vehicle technologies, new mobility options, and integrated travel platforms. This strategy supports progress toward safe, equitable, and widely beneficial innovation in the transportation sector.
Countywide Multimodal Arterial Plan
Vision:
EXHIBIT A
226
10 ALAMEDA COUNTY
MULTIMODAL ARTERIAL PLAN
(2016)
Alameda County will have a network of efficient, safe and equitably accessible arterials that facilitate the multimodal movement of people and goods, and help create a strong economy, healthy environment and vibrant communities, while maintaining local contexts.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
The vision and goals of the Alameda Countywide Multimodal Arterial Plan guide the MAP framework of assessing arterials’ multimodal performance and identifying needs and appropriate improvements to address those needs. Along with the Countywide Transit Plan, Goods Movement Plan, Community Based Transportation Plans and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans, the Arterial Plan is a key input to the Countywide Transportation Plan.
Multimodal: Based on local context and modal priorities, the arterial network will provide high-quality, well maintained and reliable facilities.
Accessible and Equitable: The arterial network will provide access for people of all ages, abilities, incomes and geographies. Connected across the County and Region: Using typologies that support local land use, the arterial network will provide connections for all modes within the county and across the County’s and Region’s network of streets, highways, and transit, bicycle and pedestrian routes.
Efficient Use of Resources: Investment in the arterial network will make efficient and effective use of resources.
Safe, Healthy and Vibrant: The arterial network will be designed, built and managed to reduce the incidence and severity of collisions, promote public health and help create vibrant local communities.
RECOMMENDATION ACTIONS:
T5: Alternative routes have limited additional capacity to accommodate re-routed commuter traffic (e.g., buses or carpools) or goods movement. If significant roadways or nodes are disrupted, rerouting would result in heavy congestion that could overwhelm the region’s roadways and interstates as well as non-motorized transportation corridors (bike and pedestrian).
EXHIBIT A
227
11 T5.1: Conduct a "hot spot" analysis to identify key routes and nodes critical to traffic flow, assess their vulnerability and risk, and develop actions to improve their resilience to sea level rise and storm events.
T5.2: Identify and invest in non-motorized transportation corridors (bike and pedestrian) that will provide alternatives if significant roadways and interstates are disrupted.
T5.3: Increase the capacity to accommodate re-routed traffic on alternative routes, or build new routes, in areas not at risk from sea level rise and storm events.
T5.4: Develop currently underused, unused, or new pedestrian rights of-way as non-motorized emergency evacuation alternative routes.
T5.5: Prioritize funding to improve alternative ground transportation routes, enhance or develop public transportation, bike and pedestrian options, and replace or retrofit vulnerable critical lifeline infrastructure.
T6: The temporary disruption or permanent loss of public transportation assets due to sea level rise and storm events, and the lack of sufficient alternatives, could leave residents in some communities unable to travel on a day to-day basis, compounding evacuation challenges during an emergency.
T6.1: Identify public transportation assets at-risk of flooding that serve transit-dependent populations.
T6.2: Proactively protect public transportation assets that serve transit-dependent populations, or prioritize development of alternative transit options to serve these populations. T6.3: Include strategies that ensure the safe evacuation of transitdependent populations in emergency response plans, e.g., designate evacuation routes and bus assignments, and
coordinate with local school bus fleets, transportation service providers, and wheelchair accessible vehicles to expand the pool of available vehicles for evacuation.
T8: Certain communities or facilities are linked by only one or two access-ways (e.g., road, rail, or transit) and could become isolated during disasters. For example, the majority of access roads to the Port
EXHIBIT A
228
12 of Oakland's seaport and Oakland International Airport are vulnerable, and if they flood they could isolate these regionally significant facilities. T8.1: Identify specific communities and facilities served by limited or sole access-ways that are vulnerable to sea level rise and storm events.
T8.2: Proactively protect public transportation assets that serve transit-dependent populations, or prioritize development of alternative transit options to serve these populations. T8.3: Develop and adopt plans for future relocation of people, uses, and services that are at risk of becoming isolated where sole or limited access-ways cannot be improved or protected, and where no other alternative means of access is feasible.
T12. Many high-cost and critical elements of transportation infrastructure are highly vulnerable to flooding because they are located at or below grade (tubes, tunnels, ventilation), in low-lying areas (airport runways, storage and maintenance facilities), or on top of levees (rail alignments).
Manage storm water at or near critical facilities and transportation elements by prioritizing regular maintenance, investing in drainage improvements (under or cross drains, backflow or flex valves, perimeter walls or pile/column foundations), and using low impact development (LID) techniques.
Prepare for recovery from flooding by stockpiling materials, establishing turnkey agreements for equipment rental, and prepositioning emergency power generation capacity, portable pumps, and debris removal equipment.
Identify locations that are not at risk of flooding to temporarily store mobile equipment, rolling stock, or other assets (may require agreements or permission from private property owners), and develop clear procedures for how and when to use these sites when flooding is predicted.
Install manual, remote control, or automatic temporary barriers or waterproof closures to protector below-grade critical elements such as roadways, tube and tunnel openings, ventilation grates, switchgears, maintenance facilities, and asset storage areas. Construct permanent structures to protect at- or below-grade critical elements such as roadways, tube and tunnel openings,
EXHIBIT A
229
13 ventilation grates, switchgears, maintenance facilities, and asset storage areas.
Raise the elevation of at- or below-grade critical elements such as entrances, mechanical or electrical equipment, and ventilation grates.
Develop or improve design standards to require protection of new infrastructure and capital improvement investments from sea level rise, storm events, and elevated groundwater levels.
LAVTA SHORT RANGE TRANSIT
PLAN (FY 2016-2025) 2016
GOAL: REGIONAL LEADERSHIP:
Advocate for local, regional, state, and federal policies that support Wheels’ goals.
Support Staff involvement in leadership roles representing the agency at regional, state, and federal forums.
Promote transit priority and improvements initiatives with city and county governments.
Develop regional initiatives, for example the Clipper Card, that support riders mobility through more seamless passenger use, in coordination with MTC and nearby CATS operators, in response to what has emerged as regional policy in the Transit
Sustainability Project.
GOAL: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS:
Promote system wide continuous quality improvement initiatives Continue to expand the partnership with contract staff to strengthen teamwork and morale and enhance the quality of service
Establish performance based metrics with action plans for improvement; monitor, improve, and periodically report on ontime performance and productivity Strengthen human resources through staff development and a focus on employee quality of life and strengthen technical resources throughout the organization
Enhance and improve organizational structures, processes and procedures to increase system effectiveness
Develop policies that hold Board and Staff accountable, providing clear direction through sound policy making decisions
Goal: Financial Management:
EXHIBIT A
230
14 Develop budget in accordance with the Strategic Plan, integrating fiscal review processes into all decisions
Explore and develop revenue generating opportunities
Maintain fiscally responsible long range capital and operating plans
GOALS OF STANDARDS:
Reflect and support community goals and strategies for transit, program objectives and service policies. Goals and strategies serve as guidance for the transit agency to best serve riders in the community, whereas standards provide a formal, quantifiable structure for how the service should perform and be
implemented.
Provide a clear rationale for service increases, expansion, and reductions. Service standards help management justify critical decisions affecting service delivery.
Provide benchmark measures that should strike a balance between setting realistic goals and aspiring for a level of service that will ensure a quality of service for riders. Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, California, and local regulatory requirements.
Provide criteria for the design and operation of safe and effective transit service.

Corridors that have a history of crashes involving emergency response vehicles. The target of this strategy is signalized intersections where normal traffic operations impede emergency vehicles and where traffic conditions create a potential for conflicts between emergency and nonemergency vehicles. These conflicts could lead to almost any type of crash, due to the potential for erratic maneuvers of vehicles moving out of the paths of emergency vehicles 70% 90% High 6 S06
Install left‐turn lane and add turn phase (signal has no left‐turn lane orphase before) Intersections that do not currently have a left turn lane or a related left‐turn phase that are experiencing a large number of crashes. Many intersection safety problems can be traced to difficulties in accommodating left‐turning vehicles, in particular where there is currently no accommodation for left turning traffic. A key strategy for minimizing collisions related to left‐ turning vehicles (angle, rear‐end, sideswipe) is to provide exclusive left‐turn lanes and the appropriate signal phasing, particularly on high‐volume and high‐speed major‐road approaches. 55% 90% Low 7 S07 Provide protected left turn phase (left turn lane already exists) Left turns are widely recognized as the highest‐risk movements at signalized intersections.

They areespecially important at intersections with (1) multiphase traffic signals, such as left‐turn arrows and split phases, (2) school crossings, and (3) double‐right or double‐left turns. At signalizedintersections, pedestrian crossings are often safer when the left turns have protected phases thatdo not overlap the pedestrian walk phase. 25% 90% High 19 S19PB Pedestrian Scramble
Pedestrian Scramble is a form of pedestrian "WALK" phase at a signalized intersection in which all vehicular traffic is required to stop, allowing pedestrians/bicyclists to safely cross through the intersection in any direction, including diagonally.

Caltrans added a few more countermeasures (e.g. Pedestrian Scramble, Install Separated Bike Lanes, Reduced Left-Turn Conflict Intersections, and Curve Shoulder widening), renumbered the countermeasures and updated the crash costs in Appendix D.
Version 1.6: April 2022
For Cycle 11 Call-for-projects, Countermeasure S04 (Provide Advanced Dilemma Zone Detection for high-speed approaches) was deleted and Countermeasure NS05mr (Convert intersection to mini-roundabout) added. The HSIP Funding Eligibility was changed to 90% except for S03, of which the HSIP Funding Eligibility stays at 50%. The crash costs in Appendix D were updated.
Future Updates:
In the future, Caltrans anticipates that additional changes will be needed to keep the Local Roadway Safety Manual consistent with future Calls-for-Projects’ Guidelines and Application Instructions. In addition, new local HSIP programs, improvements to California data on local roadways, data analysis tools, and the latest safety research and methodologies may give rise to the need to make more significant changes to this manual. 4/8/2022 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.6) P a g e | i

B.1 Intersection Countermeasures – Signalized
S01, Add intersection lighting (Signalized Intersection => S.I.) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% "night" crashes 40% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "night" crashes (all types) occurring within limits of the proposed roadway lighting 'engineered' area.
General information
Where to use:
Signalized intersections that have a disproportionate number of night-time crashes and do not currently provide lighting at the intersection or at its approaches. Crash data should be studied to ensure that safety at the intersection could be improved by providing lighting (this strategy would be supported by a significant number of crashes that occur at night).
Why it works:
Providing lighting at the intersection itself, or both at the intersection and on its approaches, improves the safety of an intersection during nighttime conditions by (1) making drivers more aware of the surroundings at an intersection, which improves drivers' perception-reaction times, (2) enhancing drivers' available sight distances, and (3) improving the visibility of non-motorists. Intersection lighting is of particular benefit to non-motorized users. Lighting not only helps them navigate the intersection, but also helps drivers see them better.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
A lighting project can usually be completed relatively quickly, but generally requires at least 1 year to implement because the lighting system must be designed and the provision of electrical power must be arranged. The provision of lighting involves both a fixed cost for lighting installation and an ongoing maintenance and power cost which results in a moderate to high cost.
Some locations can result in high B/C ratios, but due to higher costs, these projects often result in medium to low B/C ratios.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Night, All CRF: 20-74% S02, Improve signal hardware: lenses, back-plates with retroreflective borders, mounting, size, and number
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 15% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the upgraded signals. This CM does not apply to improvements like "battery backup systems", which do not provide better intersection/signal visibility or help drivers negotiate the intersection (unless applying past crashes that occurred when the signal lost power). If new signal mast arms are part of the proposed project, CM "S2" should not be used and the signal improvements would be included under CM "S7".
General information
Where to use:
Signalized intersections with a high frequency of right-angle and rear-end crashes occurring because drivers are unable to see traffic signals sufficiently in advance to safely negotiate the intersection being approached. Signal intersection improvements include new LED lighting, signal back plates, retro-reflective tape outlining the back plates, or visors to increase signal visibility, larger signal heads, relocation of the signal heads, or additional signal heads.
Why it works:
Providing better visibility of intersection signals aids the drivers’ advance perception of the upcoming intersection. Visibility and clarity of the signal should be improved without creating additional confusion for drivers.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Installation costs and time should be minimal as these type strategies are classified as low cost and implementation does not typically require the approval process normally associated with more complex projects. When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements are usually funded through local funding by local maintenance crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in low to moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.

S03, Improve signal timing (coordination, phases, red, yellow, or operation) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 50% All 15% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new signal timing. For projects coordination signals along a corridor, the crashes related to side-street movements should not be applied. This CM does not apply to projects that only 'study' the signal network and do not make physical timing changes, including corridor operational studies and improvements to Traffic Operation Centers (TOCs).
In Caltrans calls for projects, this CM has a HSIP reimbursement ratio of 50%, considering that it will improve the signal operation rather than merely the safety.
General information
Where to use:
Locations that have a crash history at multiple signalized intersections. Signalization improvements may include adding phases, lengthening clearance intervals, eliminating or restricting higher-risk movements, and coordinating signals at multiple locations.
Understanding the corridor or roadway's crash history can provide insight into the most appropriate strategy for improving safety.
Why it works:
Certain timing, phasing, and control strategies can produce multiple safety benefits. Sometimes capacity improvements come along with the safety improvements and other times adverse effects on delay or capacity occur. Corridor improvements often have the highest benefit but may take longer to implement. Projects focused on capacity improvements (without a separate focus on signal timing safety needs) may not result in a reduction in future crashes.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
In general, these low-cost improvements to multiple signalized intersections can be implemented in a short time. Typically these low cost improvements are funded through local funding by local maintenance crews. However, some projects requiring new interconnect infrastructure can have moderate to high costs making them more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.
The expected effectiveness of this CM must be assessed for each individual project.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: All CRF: 0 - 41% S04, Provide Advanced Dilemma-Zone Detection for high speed approaches For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 40% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new detection and signal timing.
General information
Where to use:
More rural/remote areas that have a high frequency of right-angle and rear-end crashes. The Advanced Dilemma-Zone Detection system enhances safety at signalized intersections by modifying traffic control signal timing to reduce the number of drivers that may have difficulty deciding whether to stop or proceed during a yellow phase. This may reduce rear-end crashes associated with unsafe stopping and angle crashes due to illegally continuing into the intersection during the red phase.
Why it works:
Clearance times provide safe, orderly transitions in ROW assignment between conflicting streams of traffic. An Advanced Dilemma-Zone Detection system has several benefits relative to traditional multiple detector systems, which have upstream detection for vehicles in the dilemma zone but do not take the speed or size of individual vehicles into account. These benefits include: Reducing the frequency of red-light violations; Reducing the frequency of crashes associated with the traffic signal phase change (for example, rear-end and angle crashes); Reducing delay and stop frequency on the major road and a reduction in overall intersection delay.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Installation costs should be low and the time to implement short. Additional modifications to the traffic signal controller may also necessary. In general, This CM can be very effective and can be considered on a systematic approach. Video detection equipment is now available for this purpose, making installation and maintenance more efficient.

S05, Install emergency vehicle pre-emption systems
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Emergency Vehicle - only 70% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "E.V." crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new pre-emption system.
General information
Where to use:
Corridors that have a history of crashes involving emergency response vehicles. The target of this strategy is signalized intersections where normal traffic operations impede emergency vehicles and where traffic conditions create a potential for conflicts between emergency and nonemergency vehicles. These conflicts could lead to almost any type of crash, due to the potential for erratic maneuvers of vehicles moving out of the paths of emergency vehicles Why it works:
Providing emergency vehicle preemption capability at a signal or along a corridor can be a highly effective strategy in two ways; any type of crash could occur as emergency vehicles try to navigate through intersections and as other vehicles try to maneuver out of the path of the emergency vehicles. In addition, a signal preemption system can decrease emergency vehicle response times therefore decreasing the time in receiving emergency medical attention, which is critical in the outcome of any crash.
When data is not available for past crashes with emergency vehicles, an agency may consider combining the E.V. pre-emption improvements into a comprehensive project that also makes significant signal hardware and/or signal timing improvements.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs for installation of a signal preemption system will vary from medium to high, based upon the number of signalized intersections at which preemption will be installed and the number of emergency vehicles to be outfitted with the technology.
The number of detectors, a requirement for new signal controllers, and the intricacy of the preemption system could increase costs. This CM is considered systemic as it is usually implemented on a corridor-basis.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Emergency Vehicle - only CRF: 70% S06, Install left-turn lane and add turn phase (signal has no left-turn lane or phase before) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 55% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new left turn lanes. This CM does NOT apply to converting a single-left into double-left turn.
General information
Where to use:
Intersections that do not currently have a left turn lane or a related left-turn phase that are experiencing a large number of crashes. Many intersection safety problems can be traced to difficulties in accommodating left-turning vehicles, in particular where there is currently no accommodation for left turning traffic. A key strategy for minimizing collisions related to left-turning vehicles (angle, rear-end, sideswipe) is to provide exclusive left-turn lanes and the appropriate signal phasing, particularly on high-volume and high-speed major-road approaches. Agencies need to document their consideration of the MUTCD, Section 4D.19 guidelines; the section on implementing protected left-turn phases.
Why it works:
Left-turn lanes allow separation of left-turn and through-traffic streams, thus reducing the potential for rear-end collisions. Leftturn phasing also provides a safer opportunity for drivers to make a left-turn. The combination of left-turn storage and a left turn signal has the potential to reduce many collisions between left-turning vehicles and through vehicles and/or non-motorized road users.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Implementation time may vary from months to years. At some locations, left-turn lanes can be quickly installed simply by restriping the roadway. At other locations, widening of the roadway, acquisition of additional right-of-way, and extensive environmental processes may be needed. Such projects require a substantial time for development and construction. Costs are highly variable and range from very low to high. Installing a protected left turn lane and phase where none exists results in a high Crash Reduction Factor and is often highly effective.

S07, Provide protected left turn phase (left turn lane already exists) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 30% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new left turn phases. This CM does NOT apply to converting a single-left into double-left turn (unless the single left is unprotected and the proposed double left will be protected).
General information
Where to use:
Signalized intersections (with existing left turns pockets) that currently have a permissive left-turn or no left-turn protection that have a high frequency of angle crashes involving left turning, opposing through vehicles, and non-motorized road users. A properly timed protected left-turn phase can also help reduce rear-end and sideswipe crashes between left-turning vehicles and the through vehicles as well as vehicles behind them. Protected left-turn phases are warranted based on such factors as turning volumes, delay, visibility, opposing vehicle speed, distance to travel through the intersection, presence of non-motorized road users, and safety experience of the intersections. Agencies need to document their consideration of the MUTCD, Section 4D.19 guidelines; the section on implementing protected left-turn phases.
Why it works:
Left turns are widely recognized as the highest-risk movements at signalized intersections. Providing Protected left-turn phases (i.e., the provision for a specific phase for a turning movement) for signalized intersections with existing left turn pockets significantly improve the safety for left-turn maneuvers by removing the need for the drivers to navigate through gaps in oncoming/opposing through vehicles. Where left turn pockets are not protected, the pedestrian and bicyclist crossing phase often conflicts with these left turn maneuvers. Drivers focused on navigating the gaps of oncoming cars may not anticipate and/or perceive the non-motorized road users.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
If the existing traffic signal only requires a minor modification to allow for a protected left-turn phase, then the cost would also be low. The time to implement this countermeasure is short because there is no actual construction that has to take place. Inhouse signal maintainers can perform this operation once the proper signal phasing is determined so the cost is low. In addition, the countermeasure is tried and proven to be effective. Has the potential of being applied on a systemic/systematic approach.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Rear-End, Sideswipe, Broadside CRF: 16 - 99% S08, Convert signal to mast arm (from pedestal-mounted) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 30% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the converted signal heads that are relocated from median and/or outside shoulder pedestals to signal heads on master arms over the travel-lanes. Projects using CM "S7" should not also apply "S2" in the B/C calc.
General information
Where to use:
Intersections currently controlled by pedestal mounted traffic signals (in medians and/or on outside shoulder) that have a high frequency of right-angle and rear-end crashes occurring because drivers are unable to see traffic signals in advance to safely negotiate the intersection. Intersections that have pedestal-mounted signals may have poor visibility and can result in vehicles not being able to stop in time for a signal change. Care should be taken to place the new signal heads (with back plates) as close to directly over the center of the travel lanes as possible.
Why it works:
Providing better visibility of intersection signs and signals aids the drivers’ advance perception of the upcoming intersection.
Visibility and clarity of the signal should be improved without creating additional confusion or distraction for drivers.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Dependent on the scope of the project. Costs are generally moderate for this type of project. There is usually no right-of-way costs, minimal roadway reconstruction costs, and a shorter project development timeline. At the same time, new mast arms can be expensive. Some locations can result in high B/C ratios, but due to moderate costs, some locations may result in medium to low B/C ratios.

S09, Install raised pavement markers and striping (Through Intersection) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 10% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring in the intersection and influence areas of the new pavement markers and/or markings.
General information
Where to use:
Intersections where the lane designations are not clearly visible to approaching motorists and/or intersections noted as being complex and experiencing crashes that could be attributed to a driver’s unsuccessful attempt to navigate the intersection.
Driver confusion can exist in regard to choosing the proper turn path or where through-lanes do not line up. This is especially relevant at intersections where the overall pavement area of the intersection is large, and multiple turning lanes are involved or other unfamiliar elements are presented to the driver.
Why it works:
Adding clear pavement markings can guide motorists through complex intersections. When drivers approach and traverse through complex intersections, drivers may be required to perform unusual or unexpected maneuvers. Providing more effective guidance through an intersection will minimize the likelihood of a vehicle leaving its appropriate lane and encroaching upon an adjacent lane.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs of implementing this strategy will vary based on the scope and number of applications. Applying raised pavement markers is relatively low cost but can be variable and determined largely by the material used for pavement markings (paint, thermoplastic, epoxy, RPMs etc.). When using this type delineators, an issue of concern is the cost-to-service-life of the material. (Note: When HSIP safety funding is used for these installations in high-wear-locations, the local agency is expected to maintain the improvement for a minimum of 10 years.) When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements are usually funded through local funding by local maintenance crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Wet, Night, All CRF: 10 - 33% S10, Install flashing beacons as advance warning (S.I.) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 30% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new flashing beacons.
General information
Where to use:
At signalized intersections with crashes that are a result of drivers being unaware of the intersection or are unable to see the traffic control device in time to comply.
Why it works:
Increased driver awareness of an approaching signalized intersection and an increase in the driver's time to react. Driver awareness of both downstream intersections and traffic control devices is critical to intersection safety. Crashes often occur when the driver is unable to perceive an intersection, signal head or the back of a stopped queue in time to react. Advance flashing beacons can be used to supplement and call driver attention to intersection control signs. Most advance warning flashing beacons can be powered by solar, thus reducing the issues relating to power source.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Before choosing this CM, the agency needs to confirm the ability to provide power to the site (solar may be an option). Flashing beacons can be constructed with minimal design, environmental and right-of-way issues and have relatively low costs. This combined with a relatively high CRF, can result in high B/Cs for locations with a history of crashes and lead to a high effectiveness.

S11, Improve pavement friction (High Friction Surface Treatments) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 55% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring within the limits of the improved friction overlay. This CM is not intended to apply to standard chip-seal or open-graded maintenance projects for long segments of corridors or structure repaving projects intended to fix failed pavement.
General information
Where to use:
Nationally, this countermeasure is referred to as "High Friction Surface Treatments" or HFST. Signalized Intersections noted as having crashes on wet pavements or under dry conditions when the pavement friction available is significantly less than needed for the actual roadway approach speeds. This treatment is intended to target locations where skidding and failure to stop is determined to be a problem in wet or dry conditions and the target vehicle is unable to stop due to insufficient skid resistance.
Why it works:
Improving the skid resistance at locations with high frequencies of wet-road crashes and/or failure to stop crashes can result in reductions of 50 percent for wet-road crashes and 20 percent for total crashes. Applying HFST can double friction numbers, e.g. low 40s to high 80s. This CM represents a special focus area for both FHWA and Caltrans, which means there are extra resources available for agencies interested in more details on High Friction Surface Treatment projects.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
This strategy can be relatively inexpensive and implemented in a short timeframe. The installation would be done by either agency personnel or contractors and can be done by hand or machine. In general, This CM can be very effective and can be considered on a systematic approach.

Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 25% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring on the approaches / influence area of the new raised median. All new raised medians funded with HSIP funding should not include the removal of the existing roadway structural section and should be doweled into the existing roadway surface. This requirement is being implemented to maximize the safety-effectiveness of the limited HSIP funding and to minimize project impacts.
Landscaping, if included in the project, is considered non-participating.
General information
Where to use:
Intersections noted as having turning movement crashes near the intersection as a result of insufficient access control.
Application of this CM should be based on current crash data and a clearly defined need to restrict or accommodate the movement.
Why it works:
Raised medians next to left-turn lanes at intersections offer a cost-effective means for reducing crashes and improving operations at higher volume intersections. The raised medians prohibit left turns into and out of driveways that may be located too close to the functional area of the intersection.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Raised medians at intersections may be most effective in retrofit situations where high volumes of turning vehicles have degraded operations and safety, and where more extensive CMs would be too expensive because of limited right-of-way and the constraints of the built environment. The result is This CM can be very effective and can be considered on a systematic approach. Raised medians can often be installed directly over the existing pavement. When agencies opt to install landscaping in conjunction with new raised medians, the portion of the cost for landscaping and other non-safety related items that exceeds 10% of the project total cost is not federally participated and must be funded by the applicant.

S13PB, Install pedestrian median fencing on approaches
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 35% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring on the approaches/influence area of the new pedestrian median fencing.
General information
Where to use:
Signalized Intersections with high pedestrian-generators nearby (e.g. transit stops) may experience a high volumes of pedestrians J-walking across the travel lanes at mid-block locations instead of walking to the intersection and waiting to cross during the walk-phase. When this safety issue cannot be mitigated with signal timing and shoulder/sidewalk treatments, then installing a continuous pedestrian barrier in the median may be a viable solution.
Why it works:
Adding pedestrian median fencing has the opportunity to enhance pedestrian safety at locations noted as being problematic involving pedestrians running/darting across the roadway outside the intersection crossings. Pedestrian median fencing can significantly reduce this safety issue by creating a positive barrier, forcing pedestrians to the designated pedestrian crossing.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs associated with this strategy will vary widely depending on the type and placement of the median fencing. Impacts to transit and other land uses may need to be considered and controversy can delay the implementation. In general, this CM can be effective as a spot-location approach.

Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 50% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring in the intersection / influence area of the new directional openings.
General information
Where to use:
Crashes related to turning maneuvers include angle, rear-end, pedestrian, and sideswipe (involving opposing left turns) type crashes. If any of these crash types are an issue at an intersection, restriction or elimination of the turning maneuver may be the best way to improve the safety of the intersection.
Why it works:
Restricting turning movement into and out of an intersection can help reduce conflicts between through and turning traffic. The number of access points, coupled with the speed differential between vehicles traveling along the roadway, contributes to crashes. Affecting turning movements by either allowing them or restricting them, based on the application, can ensure safe movement of traffic.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Turn prohibitions that are implemented by closing a median opening can be implemented quickly. The cost of this strategy will depend on the treatment. Impacts to businesses and other land uses must be considered and controversy can delay the implementation. In general, This CM can be very effective and can be considered on a systematic approach.

S15, Reduced Left-Turn Conflict Intersections (S.I.)
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 50% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring in the intersection / influence area of the new Reduced Left-Turn Conflict.
General information
Where to use and Why it works:
Reduced left-turn conflict intersections are geometric designs that alter how left-turn movements occur in order to simplify decisions and minimize the potential for related crashes. Two highly effective designs that rely on U-turns to complete certain left-turn movements are known as the restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) and the median U-turn (MUT).
Restricted Crossing U-turn (RCUT):
The RCUT intersection modifies the direct left-turn and through movements from cross-street approaches. Minor road traffic makes a right turn followed by a U-turn at a designated location (either signalized or unsignalized) to continue in the desired direction.
The RCUT is suitable for a variety of circumstances, including along rural, high-speed, four-lane, divided highways or signalized routes. It also can be used as an alternative to signalization or constructing an interchange. RCUTs work well when consistently used along a corridor, but also can be used effectively at individual intersections.
Median U-turn (MUT)
The MUT intersection modifies direct left turns from the major approaches. Vehicles proceed through the main intersection, make a U-turn a short distance downstream, followed by a right turn at the main intersection. The U-turns can also be used for modifying the cross-street left turns.
The MUT is an excellent choice for heavily traveled intersections with moderate left-turn volumes. When implemented at multiple intersections along a corridor, the efficient two-phase signal operation of the MUT can reduce delay, improve travel times, and create more crossing opportunities for pedestrians and bicyclists.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Implementing this strategy may take from months to years, depending on whether additional R/W is required. Such projects require a substantial time for development and construction. Costs are highly variable and range from very low to high. The expected effectiveness of this CM must be assessed for each individual location.

S16, Convert intersection to roundabout (from signal)
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All Varies 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring in influence area of the new roundabout. This CM is not intended for mini-roundabouts.
The benefit of this CM is calculated using Caltrans procedure. The CRF is dependent on the ADT, project location (Rural/Urban) and the roundabout type (1 lane or 2 lanes). The benefit comes from both the reduction in the number and the severity of the crashes.
General information
Where to use:
Signalized intersections that have a significant crash problem and the only alternative is to change the nature of the intersection itself. Roundabouts can also be very effective at intersections with complex geometry and intersections with frequent left-turn movements.
Why it works:
The types of conflicts that occur at roundabouts are different from those occurring at conventional intersections; namely, conflicts from crossing and left-turn movements are not present in a roundabout. The geometry of a roundabout forces drivers to reduce speeds as they proceed through the intersection. This helps keep the range of vehicle speed narrow, which helps reduce the severity of crashes when they do occur. Pedestrians only have to cross one direction of traffic at a time at roundabouts, thus reducing their potential for conflicts.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Provision of a roundabout requires substantial project development. The need to acquire right-of-way is likely and will vary from site to site and depends upon the geometric design. These activities may require up to 4 years or longer to implement. Costs are variable, but construction of a roundabout to replace an existing signalized intersection are relatively high. The result is this CM may have reduced relative-effectiveness compared to other CMs.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: All CRF: 35 - 67% S17PB, Install pedestrian countdown signal heads
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 25% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring in the intersection/crossing with the new countdown heads.
General information
Where to use:
Signals that have signalized pedestrian crossing with walk/don't walk indicators and where there have been pedestrian vs. vehicle crashes.
Why it works:
A pedestrian countdown signal contains a timer display and counts down the number of seconds left to finish crossing the street. Countdown signals can reassure pedestrians who are in the crosswalk when the flashing "DON’T WALK" interval appears that they still have time to finish crossing. Countdown signals begin counting down either when the "WALK" or when the flashing "DON’T WALK" interval appears and stop at the beginning of the steady "DON’T WALK" interval. These signals also have been shown to encourage more pedestrians to use the pushbutton rather than jaywalk.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs and time of installation will vary based on the number of intersections included in this strategy and if it requires new signal controllers capable of accommodating the enhancement. When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements are usually funded through local funding by local crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.

S18PB, Install pedestrian crossing (S.I.)
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 25% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring in the intersection/crossing with the new crossing. This CM is not intended to be used for high-cost aesthetic enhancements to intersection crosswalks (i.e. stamped concrete or stamped asphalt).
General information
Where to use:
Signalized Intersections with no marked crossing and pedestrian signal heads, where pedestrians are known to be crossing intersections that involve significant turning movements. They are especially important at intersections with (1) multiphase traffic signals, such as left-turn arrows and split phases, (2) school crossings, and (3) double-right or double-left turns. At signalized intersections, pedestrian crossings are often safer when the left turns have protected phases that do not overlap the pedestrian walk phase.
Why it works:
Adding pedestrian crossings has the opportunity to enhance pedestrian safety at locations noted as being problematic. Nearly one-third of all pedestrian-related crashes occur at or within 50 feet of an intersection. Of these, 30 percent may involve a turning vehicle. Another 22 percent of pedestrian crashes involve a pedestrian either running across the intersection or darting out in front of a vehicle whose view was blocked just prior to the impact. Finally, 16 percent of these intersection-related crashes occur because of a driver violation (e.g., failure to yield right-of-way). When agencies opt to install aesthetic enhancement to intersection crosswalks like stamped concrete/asphalt, the project design and construction costs can significantly increase. For HSIP applications, these costs must be accounted for in the B/C calculation, but these costs (over standard crosswalk markings) must be tracked separately and are not federally reimbursable and will increase the agency's local-funding share for the project costs.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs associated with this strategy will vary widely, depending if curb ramps and sidewalk modifications are required with the crossing. When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements may be funded through local funding by local crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate to high cost projects that are appropriate to seek state or federal funding.

For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 40% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring in the intersection with the new pedestrian crossing.
General information
Where to use:
Pedestrian Scramble is a form of pedestrian "WALK" phase at a signalized intersection in which all vehicular traffic is required to stop, allowing pedestrians/bicyclists to safely cross through the intersection in any direction, including diagonally. Pedestrian Scramble may be considered at signalized intersections with very high pedestrian/bicycle volumes, e.g. in an urban business district.
Why it works:
Pedestrian Scramble has been shown to reduce injury risk and increase bicycle ridership due to its perceived safety and comfort.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Not involving any additional R/W, Pedestrian Scramble should not require a long development process and should be implemented reasonably soon. A systemic approach may be used in implementing this CM, resulting in cost efficiency with low to moderate cost.

Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 15% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring in the intersection-crossing with the new advanced stop bars.
General information
Where to use:
Signalized Intersections with a marked crossing, where significant bicycle and/or pedestrians volumes are known to occur.
Why it works:
Adding advance stop bar before the striped crosswalk has the opportunity to enhance both pedestrian and bicycle safety.
Stopping cars well before the crosswalk provides a buffer between the vehicles and the crossing pedestrians. It also allows for a dedicated space for cyclists, making them more visible to drivers (This dedicated space is often referred to as a bike-box.) General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs and time of installation will vary based on the number of intersections included in this strategy and if it requires new signal controllers capable of accommodating the enhancement. When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements are usually funded through local funding by local crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Pedestrian, Bicycle CRF: 35% S21PB, Modify signal phasing to implement a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Pedestrian and Bicycle 60% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "Ped & Bike" crashes occurring in the intersections with signalized pedestrian crossing with the newly implemented Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI).
General information
Where to use:
Intersections with signalized pedestrian crossing that have high turning vehicles volumes and have had pedestrian vs. vehicle crashes.
Why it works:
A leading pedestrian interval (LPI) gives pedestrians the opportunity to enter an intersection 3-7 seconds before vehicles are given a green indication. With this head start, pedestrians can better establish their presence in the crosswalk before vehicles have priority to turn left. LPIs provide (1) increased visibility of crossing pedestrians; (2) reduced conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles; (3) Increased likelihood of motorists yielding to pedestrians; and (4) enhanced safety for pedestrians who may be slower to start into the intersection.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
Costs for implementing LPIs are very low, since only minor signal timing alteration is required. This makes it an easy and inexpensive countermeasure that can be incorporated into pedestrian safety action plans or policies and can become routine agency practice. When considered at a single location, the LPI is usually local-funded. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.

B.2 Intersection Countermeasures – Non-signalized
NS01, Add intersection lighting (NS.I.)
For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% Night 40% 20 years
Notes: This CM only applies to "night" crashes (all types) occurring within limits of the proposed roadway lighting 'engineered' area.
General information
Where to use:
Non-signalized intersections that have a disproportionate number of night-time crashes and do not currently provide lighting at the intersection or at its approaches. Crash data should be studied to ensure that safety at the intersection could be improved by providing lighting (this strategy would be supported by a significant number of crashes that occur at night).
Why it works:
Providing lighting at the intersection itself, or both at the intersection and on its approaches, improves the safety of an intersection during nighttime conditions by (1) making drivers more aware of the surroundings at an intersection, which improves drivers' perception-reaction times, (2) enhancing drivers' available sight distances, and (3) improving the visibility of non-motorists. Intersection lighting is of particular benefit to non-motorized users as lighting not only helps them navigate the intersection, but also helps drivers see them better.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
A lighting project can usually be completed relatively quickly, but generally requires at least 1 year to implement because the lighting system must be designed and the provision of electrical power must be arranged. The provision of lighting involves both a fixed cost for lighting installation and an ongoing maintenance and power cost. For rural intersections, studies have shown the installation of streetlights reduced nighttime crashes at unlit intersections and can be more effective in reducing nighttime crashes than either rumble strips or overhead flashing beacons. Some locations can result in high B/C ratios, but due to higher costs, these projects often result in medium to low B/C ratios.
FHWA CMF Clearinghouse: Crash Types Addressed: Night, All CRF: 25- 50% NS02, Convert to all-way STOP control (from 2-way or Yield control) For HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-projects
Funding Eligibility Crash Types Addressed CRF Expected Life 90% All 50% 10 years
Notes: This CM only applies to crashes occurring in the intersection and/or influence area of the new control. CA-MUTCD warrant must be met.
General information
Where to use:
Unsignalized intersection locations that have a crash history and have no controls on the major roadway approaches. However, all-way stop control is suitable only at intersections with moderate and relatively balanced volume levels on the intersection approaches. Under other conditions, the use of all-way stop control may create unnecessary delays and aggressive driver behavior. MUTCD warrants should always be followed.
Why it works:
All-way stop control can reduce right-angle and turning collisions at unsignalized intersections by providing more orderly movement at an intersection, reducing through and turning speeds, and minimizing the safety effect of any sight distance restrictions that may be present. Advance public notification of the change is critical in assuring compliance and reducing crashes.
General Qualities (Time, Cost and Effectiveness):
The costs involved in converting to all-way stop control are relatively low. All-way stop control can normally be implemented at multiple intersections with just a change in signing on intersection approaches, and typically are very quick to implement. When considered at a single location, these low cost improvements are usually funded through local funding by local maintenance crews. However, This CM can be effectively and efficiently implemented using a systematic approach with numerous locations, resulting in moderate cost projects that are more appropriate to seek state or federal funding.
