CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: June 30, 2022 NEW BUSINESS

SUBJECT: REPORT O N THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS LOCAL ROADS SAFETY PLAN, CITY PROJECT NO. 20-21

FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager

BY: Engineering Division

SUMMARY:

A Local Roads Safety Plan (LRSP) provides the framework for organizing stakeholders to identify, analyze, and prioritize roadway safety improvements on local roads . The process results in a prioritized list of issues, risks, actions, and improvements that can be used to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on the local road network. The plan will be used to obtain grant funding for the identified safety improvements. Th e report is now complete and ready for the City Council to receive and file.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file a report on the Local Roads Safety Plan for the City of Palm Springs.

BACKGROUND:

To date, the City has applied and received $8,054,400 in Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) grant funding and now an LRSP is required on all future HSIP grant applications.

On October 8, 2019, Caltrans announced a call for funding to assist local agencies in developing their own local road safety plans. Each agency was eligible to receive up to $72,000 in State funds for development of the plans.

On October 28, 2019, the City of Palm Springs submitted its application to Caltrans for the full $72,000, with a local contribution of $8,000, for an overall project cost of $80,000 to develop an LRSP.

On June 5, 2020, Caltrans notified the City of Palm Springs that it was awarded $72,000 in State funds, the maximum each agency can receive, for the development of its LRSP, with a local contribution of $8,000, for a total project cost of $80,000.

On July 23, 2020, the Ci ty Council adopted Resolution No.24784 to approve a Program Supplement Agreement between the City and Caltrans, for the development of its LRSP in the amount of $72,000.

On October 22, 2020, the City Council approved a professional services agreement in the amount of $79,345, with Michael Baker International for the development of a n LRSP, City Project 20-21.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

While local roads are less traveled than State highways, they have a much higher rate of fatal and serious injury crashes. Developing an LRSP is an effective strategy to improve local road safety for all road users and support the goals of a State’s overall strategic highway safety plan. Although the development process and resulting plan can vary depending on the local agency’s needs, available resources, and targeted crash types, aspects common to LRSPs include:

• Stakeholder engagement representing the 4E’s – E ngineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency medical services, as appropriate. • Collaboration among municipal, county, Tribal, State and/or Federal entities to leverage expertise and resources.
• Identification of target crash types and crash risk with corresponding recommended proven safety countermeasures.
• Timeline and goals for implementation and evaluation.

The vision of the City’s LRSP is to advance road safety by reducing fatal and serious injuries while improving the lives of all roadway users. It begins with setting achievable goals which include:

1. Implement proven safety solutions systemically to reduce fatal and sever e injury crashes.

2. Reduce automobile right-of-way violations, which is the leading cause of crashes in the City.

3. Reduce speed related violations , which is the second leading cause of crashes within the City.

4. Re-evaluate crash trends and associated countermeasures in the LRSP a minimum of every 5 years and engage with the community, stakeholders, and City management.

The City’s LRSP is based on analyzing crash data collected during the five -year period between March 1, 2016 t hrough February 28, 2021, which was the most recent data available at the start of the analysis. A full copy of the report is included as Attachment A and the following is a summary of the key findings:

1. Crash Type. The top 3 crash types include: Broadside (30%), Rear -End (24%), and Hit Object (20%), which combined comprise 74% of total crashes.

Item 3D - 2
City Council Staff Report
June 30, 2022 -- Page 3
Local Roads Safety Plan – Receive & File

2. Cause of Crash. The top 3 causes of crashes are Auto Right -of-Way Violations (20%) followed closely by Unsafe Speed (19%) and Driving Under the Influence (14%).

3. Crash Severity. Of the 2,208 reported crashes, 36% involved property damage only, while 32% complained of pain and 25% had other visible injuries. Additionally, 4% of the crashes resulted in severe injuries while 2% resulted in fatalities.

4. Analysis of Lighting Conditions. Roadways with dark/no streetlights exist and crashes include Gene Autry Trail, Indian Canyon Drive, and portions of SR-111.

5. Time of Year Analysis. The 4 -month time-p eriod from January to April experienced the greatest percent of crashes (35.2%).

6. Time of Day Analysis. The 3 -hour time-period of noon to 3 PM experienced the greatest number of crashes, despite the fact that the higher traffic volumes tended to occur between 3 PM and 6 PM.

7. Bicycle and Pedestrian Crashes.
a. 110 pedestrian- involved crashes were reported that included 17 fatal crashes and 21 severe injury crashes.
b. 69 bicycle-involved crashes were reported that resulted in 4 fatalities and an additional 41 injuries.

It is important to note that the City has already installed several mitigations during the period between March 2016 to February 2021 to address these issues . Also, more improvements are already in the process of construction or the design phase that will address many of the key findings from the data analysis. A full list of projects and a map are found on pages 9-11 of the attached report.

Based on the key findings and projects already in the works by the City, a total of ten (10) projects have been identified for future HSIP funding. The LRSP recommends four (4) projects that will improve intersection safety, three (3) projects that emphasize speed management, and three (3) projects that increase safety for bicyclist and pedestrians.

Detailed descriptions of each project start at page 50 of the attached report.

The LRSP provides the City with a toolbox of countermeasures to address systemic crash patterns and reduce crashes at the City’s top crash locations. The combination of countermeasures that were selected for each project and location is to provide the most competitive applications for HSIP grant funding.

In addition to HSIP projects, opportunities for education related to bicycle and pedestrian activity and enforcement related to DUI crashes have also been identified.

Item 3D - 3

1. Executive Summary

T
he City of Palm Springs (City) has prepared a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) in accordance with Caltrans LRSP Guidelines to identify, analyze and prioritize roadway safety improvements on the local streets within the City.

This LRSP identifies the top systemic crash patterns and top crash locations throughout the City, based on crash data collected from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2021. The LRSP also includes a toolbox of countermeasures to address the systemic crash patterns and reduce crashes at the City’s top crash locations. In this LRSP, a total of ten (10) projects have been identified for potential Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) grant funding. The combination of countermeasures that were selected for each project and location was selected to provide the most competitive HSIP grant applications. HSIP Cycle 11 Call-for-Projects is anticipated to begin around April 2022. The application deadline is to be determined; however, a 3- to 6-month preparation time could be expected.

The purpose of this LRSP is to:
• Analyze crash data over a five-year period (March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2021); • Identify the top crash patterns and locations throughout the City; • Recommend safety countermeasures;
• Provide cost estimates of recommended improvements;
• Prioritize projects based on cost-benefit ratios and effectiveness of safety improvements; and • Develop strategies for safety project implementation.

Goals associated with this LRSP include:
• Implement proven safety solutions systemically to reduce fatal and severe injury crashes. • Reduce automobile right of way violations, which is the leading cause of crashes within the City. • Reduce speed related violations, which is the second leading cause of crashes within the City. • Re-evaluate crash trends and associated countermeasures in the LRSP a minimum of every 5 years and engage with the community, stakeholders and City management.

2. Introduction

T
he City prepared this LRSP to identify, analyze and prioritize roadway safety improvements on the local streets throughout the City. This LRSP identifies the top systemic crash patterns and top crash locations throughout the City, based on crash data from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2021. The LRSP also provides the City a toolbox of countermeasures to address the systemic crash patterns and reduce crashes at the City’s top crash locations. The City is committed to improving transportation safety to reduce the risk of death and serious injury that results from incidents on the transportation system. As part of an ongoing effort to improve safety, this LRSP was developed in collaboration with City staff, partner agencies, and organizations.

In 2016, California established the Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) in response to a growing need to address transportation safety at a citywide level. The objective of the SSARP was to identify low-cost, systemic countermeasures that could be incorporated into an overall master plan of improvements that could be funded through local and grant funding, specifically the Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) grant program.

In 2020, the SSARP was amended and renamed Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), which is now required for HSIP grant funding applications. The City of Palm Springs (City) received a grant from the state of California to prepare a LRSP, which has been complete in compliance with the State and Federal guidelines for eligibility to apply for HSIP funding and provides the necessary data to support current and future applications for the recommended projects identified in this LRSP.

Based on the 2007 City of Palm Springs General Plan Circulation Element, the City strives to improve safety measures on the roadway network per Policy 2.2 : “Make street improvements at problem intersections and bottleneck locations to improve specific traffic operations and safety, with all such improvements to be considered selectively on the basis of specific studies of the affected intersection and streets, and the impacts on the surrounding area and pedestrian activity.” As well as Action 2.3 “Periodically analyze and improve high- accident locations to improve traffic flow and safety.”

4.1. First Stakeholder Meeting
On Wednesday, June 23, 2021, the first stakeholder meeting was conducted for the LRSP. The first meeting was b
roken up into two time options to create an environment that was suitable for obtaining feedback from every stakeholder given the amount of meeting content. The purpose of the first meeting was to obtain feedback on the preliminary crash analysis findings as they pertain to locations, types of crashes, and other safety concerns along local roadways.

Representatives from the following City Departments and organizations participated in the Stakeholder meeting:
• City of Palm Springs – Engineering Department
• City of Palm Springs – Police/Traffic Division
• City of Palm Springs – Engineering Services
• City of Palm Springs – Parks and Recreation Department • Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD)

• Caltrans
• Agua Caliente Tribe
• SunLine Transit Agency
• Michael Baker International (consultant)
At the Stakeholder meeting, an overview of the LRSP process and goals was presented. Preliminary findings of the crash analysis were then presented and discussed. Intersection and roadway segment hot spot locations were identified based on the highest number of crashes and potential costs associated with each crash type and location.

Participants were encouraged to provide input on the crash data and hot spot locations presented. Examples of this input include:
• The Palm Springs Fire Department noted that collision activity occurs along the Indian Canyon corridor in the downtown area.
• The Public Works Department noted that there have been a few “close calls” along Indian Canyon north of Alejo Road and south of downtown to Ramon Road.
• SunLine Transit noted that major intersections also happen to be popular layover points or main transfer locations for buses, therefore there is a high frequency of buses that pass though those locations which already experiences high levels of traffic.
• The Police Department commented that there is a lot of bicycle activity the downtown area. Bicyclists are supposed to ride in the street and not the sidewalk. A hit and run fatality of a bicyclist recently occurred along SR-111.
• Palm Springs Unified School District (PSUSD) commented that left turns on Gene Autry and San Raphael has been an issue and often vehicles end up in the center divider. PSUSD informed the project team that they keep a record of crashes including cars pulling out in front of buses.

4.2. S
econd Stakeholder Meeting
On Tuesday, February 8, 2022, the second Stakeholder meeting was conducted for the LRSP. The purpose of the s
econd Stakeholder meeting was to present the proposed countermeasures for the top 35 locations that have the highest volume of crashes reported and gain feedback from the safety partners. Representatives from the following City Departments and organizations participated in the Stakeholder meeting:
• City of Palm Springs – Engineering Services
• City of Palm Springs – Police/Traffic Division
• City of Palm Springs – Facility and Maintenance
Department
• City of Palm Springs – Fire Department
• SunLine Transit Agency
• Michael Baker International (consultant)

5. Process

An LRSP provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on local roads. The LRSP development process for the City followed a well-defined process laid out by Caltrans in the Local Roadway Safety - A Manual for California Local Road Owners, Version 1.5, April 2020 (Local Roadway Safety Manual), but the content is tailored to the issues and needs on the roadway network within the City of Palm Springs. The process results in a prioritized list of issues, risks, actions, and proven countermeasures that can be used to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on local roads. The development of this LRSP involved the following process:

STEP #1 – IDENTIFY STAKEHOLDERS
Identified Stakeholders to provide input and feedback on the safety plan.

STEP #2 – ANALYZE CRASH DATA
Obtained crash data from Crossroads and evaluated to most common crash types and causes in the City. The top 35 intersections were identified and ranked by crash cost.

STEP #3 – IDENTIFY COUNTERMEASURES
Based on the crash trends and data for each of the top crash locations, appropriate countermeasures were selected to address safety concerns.

STEP #4 – IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS
Submit for HSIP and other grant program funding. Once funding is secured, construct and monitor crash history with improvements. Regularly monitor Implementation Plan and update LRSP every 5 years.

CR Action 1.6 – Require adequate drop-off and pick-up facilities at all new schools for safety of school children and to prevent traffic congestion.

CR Policy 2.2 – Make street improvements at problem intersections and bottleneck locations to improve specific traffic operations and safety, with all such improvements to be considered selectively on the basis of specific studies of the affected intersection and streets, and the impacts on the surrounding area and pedestrian activity.

CR Action 2.3 – Periodically analyze and improve high-accident locations to improve traffic flow and safety.

CR Policy 3.1 – Provide an environment within the Central Business District along Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive that is suited to slower traffic speeds and more frequent pedestrian crossings
CR Policy 5.3 – Require the construction of bus turnouts at bus stops on major and secondary thoroughfares to reduce congestion on the adjacent public street and to provide for greater overall traffic safety. The City should work with SunLine Transit Agency to determine which bus stop locations warrant bus turnouts and to address safety concerns that may arise at bus stops located throughout their service area.

CR Policy 6.5 – Seek optimum linkage of parks, recreation centers, and other recreational open space areas through the utilization of safe bikeways.

CR Policy 6.6 – Maintain widths, surfaces, and general maintenance of streets in a manner that will ensure the safety of the cyclists using them.

CR Policy 6.8 – Encourage proper design and maintenance of facilities and appropriate signing to ensure the safe use of the bikeway and trail systems.

6.2. City of Palm Springs Pedestrian Plan
The Palm Springs Pedestrian Plan is a roadmap that lays the foundation for pedestrian improvements within the p
ublic right of way in the City. The Pedestrian Plan provides strategies and recommendations that aim to address four overarching priorities:

Priority 1: Mobility - Provide a circulation system that enables safe pedestrian travel and accommodates to the needs of all roadway users to further improve the comfort and convenience of pedestrian activity.

Reduce injuries and fatalities from pedestrian activities with a coordinated, citywide approach Priority 2: Accessibility - Develop a pedestrian network that enables pedestrian accessibility and circulation to connect to schools, parks, transit and within neighborhoods.

Priority 3: Sustainability - Encouraging participation in pedestrian activity to enable a shift in mode choice towards non-motorized modes to reduce vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions Priority 4: Economy - Active transportation activities help reduce costs associated with driving. A strong pedestrian environment can boost local economies and help small businesses grow by attracting more people and contributing to a vibrant atmosphere
Priority 5: Identity - Palm Springs is known for its mid-century architecture, design elements, arts and cultural scene, and recreational activities
Priority 6: Address Public Needs - Public input is a major activity completed as part of this project and was used to identify needs and determine priorities

6.3. P
revious HSIP Funded Projects & Current Transportation Projects The City successfully applied for and received HSIP grant funding for safety improvements from Cycles 7, 8 and 9 . A list of HSIP funded projects that are under construction or are currently in design are listed in Table 2.

7. Crash Data Summary

The initial step in the development of the LRSP was to conduct crash data research and database development.

C
rash data was provided by the City for a time period from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2021. Data from the City’s local Crossroads database was vetted, with no date gaps or issues with geo-locations. During this 5- year period, a total of 2,208 crashes were reported along local roadways and SR-111 within the City limits.

Figure 2 illustrates an overall view of the concentration of crashes during the five-year time period. As illustrated in the figure, the corridors with the highest concentration of crashes include:

A. Indian Canyon Drive from S. Palm Canyon Drive to San Rafael Drive B. Ramon Road from S. Palm Canyon Drive to the City Limits C. SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail) from S. Palm Canyon Drive to Ramon Road D. Gene Autry Trail from Vista Chino to Via Escuela

7.1. General Findings

7.1.1. C rashes by Year
For the five-year analysis period, the number of fatal crashes, injury crashes, property damage only crashes, total fat
alities, and total injuries are highlighted in Table 4, including the averages over the analysis period. As shown, there was a clear reduction in reported crashes during the year 2020. This decline in reported crashes is likely a direct result of the novel coronavirus state mandated stay-at-home orders and the reduction of overall travel that occurred.

able 6 includes a summary of the causes of the crashes that occurred during the analysis period for each year an
d Exhibit 2 graphically shows the breakdown for all crashes. The most common cause of crash was Auto Right of Way Violation (20%) followed closely by Unsafe Speed (19%) and Driving Under Influence (DUI) (14%). • Auto Right of Way Violation – Crashes that are caused by motorists failing to allow another vehicle (or pedestrian or bicyclist) to proceed before them in a traffic situation in accordance with the California Vehicle Code, such as assuming right of way while turning left at a green light (as opposed to a green arrow).
• Unsafe speed – Crashes that are caused by motorists driving in excess of the posted speed limit or driving too fast for the roadway conditions. ‘Too fast for roadway conditions’ crashes are often reported as an Unsafe Speed Crash. These crashes can be a result of motorists following too closely to the vehicle in front of them, distracted driving, or vehicles that collide with a stopped vehicle in front of them. • DUI – Crashes that are caused by motorists who operate a vehicle while their blood alcohol concentration levels exceed the allowable limits per the California Vehicle Code or impaired by drugs.

DUIs are not considered in the evaluation of safety improvements but are included in the non- engineering emphasis areas such as Enforcement and Education.

7.2. Detailed Crash Analysis

7.2.1. C rashes by Type
This section evaluates trends associated with the three most common crash types of crashes that occurred w
ithin the five-year study period. Analysis of which included Broadside, Rear-End, and Hit Object crashes.

Broadside Crashes
A Broadside crash occurs when the front of one vehicle strikes the side of another vehicle. Broadside crashes typically occur at intersections and can be a result of drivers failing to yield or obey stop-controls, where a gap in traffic is misjudged, or a turning vehicle fails to yield the right of way to another vehicle.

When evaluating the cause of common Broadside crashes, it is important to consider the following physical conditions at the intersection and signal operations:
• What is the intersection control? – Signalized, unsignalized or a roundabout • What is the signal phasing? – Permissive or protected left-turn phasing • Are clear lines of sight available or are there sight distance issues? • What is the traffic speed and the posted speed limit? What are vehicle speeds? • Ar
e there other roadway elements that might contribute to or worsen driving behaviors such as failure to yield and/or where gaps in traffic are mis-judged?
Table 7 lists the intersections where Broadside crashes were reported along with potential contributing factors.

As shown in Figure 3, Broadside crashes resulting in severe injuries and fatalities were somewhat concentrated along main arterials including Ramon Road, E. Palm Canyon Drive, Gene Autry Trail south of Ramon Road, and Indian Canyon Drive north of SR-111 (Vista Chino).

Additional analysis was conducted to examine the fatal and severe injury Broadside crashes relative to the existing traffic control. Of the 38 severe and fatal broadside crashes shown, 16 crashes (42%) occurred at signalized intersections. Conversely, the remaining severe and fatal broadside crashes (58%) occurred at stop- controlled or uncontrolled intersections. This indicates that severity isn’t necessarily governed by intersection traffic control. Severe and fatal crashes that occur at signalized intersections were likely higher speed collisions along the main arterial where a left-turning vehicle does not yield under a permitted condition.

Rear-End Crashes
A crash is classified as a Rear-End crash when one ve hicle crashes into the vehicle directly in front of it. Rear-End crashes often occur under congested conditions where motorists do not react in time to a slowing of traffic downstream, or in cases where drivers are distracted or tailgating under uncongested conditions.

When evaluating the cause of common Rear-End crashes, it is important to consider the following physical conditions and signal operations:
• What is the intersection control? – signalized, unsignalized, roundabout • What is the signal phasing? – permissive or protected left-turn phasing • Are dedicated right-turn or left turn lanes provided? • Are there multiple driveways along a corridor where vehicles are frequently entering and exiting that result in a disruption in the traffic flow?
• Are vehicles queuing at an intersection such that they spill out of a turn lane into the adjacent through lane?
• What is the traffic speed and posted speed limit? Is speeding a concern? Is speeding observed? Everyone has concerns but is concern identified as valid?
Figure 4 graphically shows the Rear-End crashes that were reported throughout the City and Table 8 lists the top 7 intersections where Rear-End crashes occurred during the analysis period and potential contributing factors. Most of the crashes occurred at intersections along SR-111, which generally experiences higher traffic volumes compared to local roadways. Additionally, locations of concentrated Rear-End crashes include Ramon Road and Gene Autry Trail. The locations where Rear-End crashes resulted in fatalities or severe injuries were dispersed throughout the City and are not generally concentrated at the top 7 locations as shown in Figure 5.

Hit Object Crashes
A Hit Object crash generally occurs when a single mot or vehicle hits a fixed object alongside or within the roadway. Objects may include utility poles, traffic signal poles, sign poles, and trees. As shown in Figure 6, hit object crashes resulting in severe injuries or fatalities have primarily occurred on two roadways over the past five years: E. Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive.

E. Palm Canyon Drive is a major thoroughfare that operates with two lanes in each direction with a center turn lane and a 45 mile per hour (MPH) posted speed limit. Curb and gutter exist along the roadway and landscaping is provided. There are a number of potential objects located next to the curb including large palm trees located either in the sidewalk or within the landscaped buffer between the roadway and the sidewalk, and other shrubs and fencing/walls. The image below is an example of the existing corridor conditions.

Indian Canyon Drive is also a major thoroughfare. This roadway operated as a four-lane, one-way roadway with on-street parking within the City’s central business district during the majority of the analysis time period, however the roadway character and operations were changed in early 2020 when the corridor was converted to two-way operations. The number and types of crashes are likely to change over time as drivers adapt to the new operational patterns.

Key Finding (Crash Type):
• The top 3 crash types include: Broadside (30%), Rear-End (24%), and Hit Object (20%), which combined comprise 74% of total crashes.
• Broadside crashes resulting in severe injuries and fatalities were concentrated along Ramon Road, E. Palm Canyon Drive, Gene Autry Trail south of Ramon Road, and Indian Canyon Drive north of SR-111 (Vista Chino).
• Locations of concentrated rear-end crashes included SR-111, Ramon Road, and Gene Autry Trail. • Hit object crashes resulting in severe injuries or fatalities have primarily occurred along E. Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Canyon Drive.

7.2.2. Crashes by Cause
The following sections analyze the three most common crash causes in further depth, which include Auto Right o
f Way Violations, Unsafe Speed, and Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Auto Right of Way Violation Crashes
Of the 2,208 reported crashes, the attributed cause o f the crash was Auto Right of Way Violation for 433 of those crashes (20%). Crashes where Auto Right of Way was the attributed crash cause were examined further based on location. Figure 7 graphically shows all reported Auto Right of Way crashes and Table 9 lists the top 11 locations were Auto Right of Way violations were reported. Three (3) of the 11 intersections were located along SR-111, while the other 8 intersections were located along local roadways. The table also identifies potential contributing factors and information regarding planned projects which may improve safety at those locations.

When evaluating the cause of common Auto Right of Way Violation crash locations, it is important to consider the following physical roadway conditions and signal operations:
• What is the intersection control? – Signalized, unsignalized with stop/yield-controlled, roundabout • What is the signal phasing? – Permissive or protected left-turn phasing • Are there concerns with sight distance as motorists turn left or right onto a roadway? • Are there other roadway elements that might contribute to or worsen driving behaviors such as failure to yield when turning left or right and/or where gaps in traffic is mis-judged?

Unsafe Speed Crashes
A total of 412 crashes were attributed to Unsafe Spee d, which equates to 19% of the total reported crashes. As shown in Figure 8, the top 4 locations where speed contributed to the reported crashes are as follows:
• SR -111 (Vista Chino) and SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail) Intersection • Ramon Road between Palm Canyon Drive and the City Limits • Indian Canyon Drive between SR-111 (Vista Chino) and Alejo Road • Palm Canyon Drive between SR-111 (Vista Chino) and Alejo Road When evaluating the cause of common Unsafe Speed crash locations, it is important to consider the following physical roadway conditions:
• What is the roadway alignment? – Straight, curved, vertical or horizontal alignment? • What is the travel lane width and number of travel lanes? • Are there friction factors such as on-street parking and raised medians? • What is the distance between stop controls? – greater than ¼ mile • Are there other roadway elements that might contribute to or worsen driving behaviors such as failure to yield when turning left or right and/or where gaps in traffic is mis-judged?

DUI Crashes
Of the 2,208 reported crashes, DUIs were a factor in 314 of those crashes (14%). Additional information related to DUI crashes was obtained from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Based on the year 2017 data, in which Palm Springs is compared to 93 other similar cities in California, the City of Palm Springs was ranked as the #1 location with alcohol involved crashes. While DUI crashes cannot be fully resolved through countermeasures or design changes, educational programs and enforcement can be increased in an effort to reduce DUI crashes.

Figure 9 graphically shows the locations of the DUI crashes throughout the City. Crash concentrations were observed at the locations listed below. A number of restaurants, bars, and hotels exist along E. Palm Canyon Drive and the Agua Caliente Casino is located east of Indian Canyon Drive between Alejo Road and Tahquitz Canyon Way, which all potentially contribute to the occurrence of DUI crashes in the area. • Ramon Road just west of SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail)
• In the area of the S. Palm Canyon Drive intersection with Indian Canyon Drive, E. Camino Parocela, and Ramon Road (five-legged intersection)
• E. Palm Canyon Drive and S. Palm Canyon Drive (curvature of Palm Canyon Drive corridor from east- west to north-south)
• E. Palm Canyon Drive near the SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail) Intersection

Variation of Crash Causes Based on Mode
As discussed previously, the top three crash causes in the City of Palm Springs for all crashes over the past five years have been Auto Right of Way Violations, Speeding, and DUI. Since crash causes often vary by mode, Table 10 summarizes the crash causes for pedestrian collisions, bicycle collisions, and collisions involving all modes. As shown, Pedestrian Violation is the most reported cause of pedestrian-involved collisions. Additionally, Auto Right of Way Violations were the primary cause of Bicycle-Involved crashes.

Note: R/W – Right of Way
Key Finding:
• The most common cause of crash was Auto Right of Way Violation (20%) followed closely by Unsafe Speed (19%) and Driving Under Influence (DUI) (14%).
• Three of the 11 top intersections where Right of Way crashes occurred were located along SR-111, while the other 8 intersections are located along local roadways. • The top 4 locations where unsafe speed crashes occurred included the intersections of SR-111 Vista Chino and SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail), Ramon Road, Indian Canyon Drive, and Palm Canyon Drive. • DUI crashes were reported throughout the City, however concentrations occurred at various locations along Ramon Road and S. Palm Canyon Drive.

• Severe injuries were reported in 4% of the crashes while fatalities were reported in 2% of the crashes. • Fatalities involving motor vehicles generally occurred throughout the roadway network, however some concentrations were observed along the following corridors: E. Palm Canyon Drive, Ramon Road, and Sunrise Way.
• Locations with more than one pedestrian fatality during the analysis time period include the intersections of Ramon Road at Sunrise Way and the intersection of Ramon Road at Avenida Caballeros.

7.4. A nalysis of Lighting Conditions
The lighting conditions for each crash in the data set were reviewed. As shown in E xhibit 4, 58% of the reported crashes occurred during daylight conditions while 30% of reported crashes occurred during Dark-Street Lights conditions.

Exhibit 4: Report Lighting Conditions

Th
e reported lighting conditions were examined further to determine if any corridors or locations experienced higher numbers of crashes during dark conditions without street lighting. Locations where “Dark – No Street Lights” were identified as the condition during at least 5 crashes are the following locations:
• Gene Autry Trail between Salvia Road and Via Escuela
• Indian Canyon Drive between Garnet Ave and Vista Chino • SR-111 Between Angel Canyon Trail and Gateway Drive
• SR-111 (E. Palm Canyon Drive) between Broadmoor Drive and Lawrence Crossley Road A further review of lighting and any recommended improvements would need to consider the City’s lighting ordinance.

Key Finding (Lighting Conditions):

Roadways where “Dark – No Street Lights” exist and crashes occurred include: Gene Autry Trail, Indian Canyon Drive, and portions of SR-111.

7.5. Time of Year Analysis
A time of year analysis was conducted since the City experiences seasonal tourism traffic with the most-active t
ime period from January through April. Table 13 shows the breakdown of crashes by month. While the 4-month time period from January through April experienced the greatest percent of crashes (35.2%) as compared to other 4-month time periods, the variation was minimal at no more than 4.5% difference.

Key Finding (Time of Year Analysis):

The 4-month time period from January through April experienced the greatest percent of crashes (35.2%).

7.6. T ime of Day Analysis
Exhibit 5 shows the breakdown of crashes by time period throughout the day. As would be expected, the time period of 6 AM to 6 PM experienced the greatest number of crashes (68%). This time period is consistent with when most traffic occurs on local roads. A further breakdown shows that the highest number of crashes occurred during the 3-hour period from Noon to 3 PM. This is a somewhat unexpected finding since the evening peak commuting time periods generally fall between 3 PM and 6 PM.

Key Finding (Time Period Analysis):

The 3-hour time period of noon to 3 PM experienced the greatest number of crashes despite the fact that the higher traffic volumes tend to occur between 3 PM and 6 PM.

7.7. B icycle and Pedestrian Crashes
Bicyclists and pedestrians are among the most vulnerable roadway users and are more likely to sustain severe in
juries when involved in a collision with a motor vehicle. Understanding the cause, severity, and location of crashes involving these vulnerable roadways users is imperative to reducing the number of bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities and injuries on the City’s roads.

7.7.1. Pedestrian Involved Crashes
During the analysis time period, 110 pedestrian-involved crashes were reported which included 17 fatal crashes an
d 21 severe injury crashes. In other words, 15% of pedestrian-involved crashes proved to be fatal while 52% of pedestrian-involved crashes resulted in injury. Exhibit 6 shows the injury types for all pedestrian involved crashes during the analysis time period.

8. Hot Spot Locations - Intersections
Intersection hot spots are identified based on crash frequency and severity of crashes. Hot spots were identified as
the locations with both the greatest frequency and the greatest severity when compared to other crash locations. This was determined by reviewing the number of crashes at each intersection throughout the City and assigning a cost associated with the severity of each crash consistent with the Local Roadway Safety Manual Appendix D (Benefit/Cost Ratio Calculations). Table 15 shows the cost assumptions utilized in the analysis.

Table 15: Crash Costs
Crash Severity Location Type Crash Cost
Fatal / Severe Injury
Signalized Intersection $ 1,590,000
Non-Signalized Intersection $ 2,530,000
Roadway $ 2,190,000
Other Visible Injury All $ 142,300
Complaint of Pain All $ 80,900
Property Damage Only All $ 13,300
Source: Local Roadway Safety, A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners, Appendix D (Version 1.5, April 2020)

Table 16 summarizes the top 35 preliminary intersection hot spot locations identified through this analysis. A review of those locations will be conducted to determine if existing HSIP funding at any of those locations would exclude the location from future funding or if planned HSIP project would address existing crash trends during the identification of countermeasures.

9. Hot Spot Locations – Corridors

T
he following hot spot corridors have been identified previously during the review of the heat map:

A. Indian Canyon Drive from South Palm Canyon Drive to San Rafael Drive B. Ramon Road from S. Palm Canyon Drive to the City Limits C. SR-111 (Gene Autry Trail) from S. Palm Canyon Drive to Ramon Road D. Gene Autry Trail from Vista Chino to Via Escuela
E. Palm Canyon Drive from Indian Canyon Drive to SR-111 (Vista Chino) F. Sunrise Way from E. Palm Canyon Drive to San Rafael Drive G. Farrell Drive from Ramon Road to Alejo Road
These corridors were further examined by calculating average crash rates and comparing those crash rates to those rates for similar facilities.

9.1. C rash Rate Analysis
The calculation of crash rates is a standard traffic engineering industry method used to determine the relative s
afety of a roadway segment by accounting for the exposure to traffic volumes and length of the segment. The equation to determine a crash rate is as follows:

Crash Rate
(per 1 Million
V
ehicle Miles
Traveled)
=
Number of Crashes x 1,000,000
Average Daily Traffic Volume x 365 Days per Year x Number of Years x Length of Roadway Segment

In order to calculate the crash rates, the number of crashes for each corridor were obtained from the March 1, 2016 to February 28, 2021 data set and the average daily traffic (ADT) volumes were obtained from traffic counts provided by City staff. The ADTs were collected in January and February 2021. While the ADTs reflect volume data collected after the crash data time period, the volumes are likely comparable to the data set time period since volumes may be slightly lower due to COVID-19 restrictions and travel reductions, thus the year 2021 count data was not adjusted. The length of the segment in miles was also utilized to calculate the crash rate per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.

The crash rates calculated for each corridor were compared to data obtained from the Caltrans 2018 Crash Data on California State Highways , specifically the year 2018 data for District 8 roadways that are categorized into roadway cross-section types. The average crash rates utilized in this analysis are as follows:
• 2 and 3 lane roadways = 0.94
• 4+ lane undivided roadways = 1.22
• 4+ lane divided roadways = 1.01
Table 18 summarizes the crash rate calculations. As shown, the calculated crash rates for all but one corridor were greater than the crash rates for similar facilities by at least two times more than the average. It’s not surprising that the crash rates for these corridors are higher than the averages crash rates for similar facilities since these are the corridors within the City where the greatest number of collisions were reported. The average rates for similar facilities which were the basis of the comparison include those throughout District 8 (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties). It is possible that higher rates for similar facilities may exists for the Coachella Valley which could alter the comparison slightly.

10. Emphasis Areas & Countermeasures

10.1. E mphasis Areas
The City’s LRSP is a tool that is intended to assist City staff in most effectively fo
cusing education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency response resources towards the highest priority systemic and location specific crash trends for safety improvements. The crash data combined with professional engineering judgement was used to identify applicable safety projects that have a definite and measurable safety benefit. Using the crash data described in the previous section of this report, three (3) major emphasis areas were identified for the City. Table 19 presents the three emphasis areas along with performance measures and strategies to improve safety. DUIs are not considered in the evaluation of safety improvements but are included in the non-engineering emphasis areas such as Enforcement and Education.

Caltrans LRSP
process was
followed in order
to compete for
grant funding that
will help address
roadway safety
needs throughout
the City.

10.2. Countermeasures
Based on a thorough review of the crash types and causes at each of the top 35 intersections and top 7 r
oadway segments with the highest concentration of crashes, countermeasures were selected that would reduce the likelihood of future crashes. The Local Roadway Safety Manual was used as a guide for selecting countermeasures and corresponding Crash Reduction Factors (CRF) for this LRSP. CRF’s represent the proportion of crashes that are expected to be eliminated from a location as a result of receiving a specific safety improvement i.e. specific countermeasure.

The Local Roadway Safety Manual provides a list of countermeasures that are sorted into 3 categories:

Signalized Intersections, Non-Signalized Intersections, and Roadways. Pedestrian and bicycle-related countermeasures have been included in each of these categories. In the Local Roadway Safety Manual Caltrans has established key requirements and procedures for projects to allow agencies maximum flexibility in combining countermeasures and locations into a single project, while ensuring all projects can be consistently ranked on a statewide basis.

1.) A maximum of three (3) individual countermeasures can be utilized in the Benefit / Cost (B/C) ratio for a project.

2.) If the project involves multiple locations, the locations must have the same safety improvements and thus exactly the same countermeasures.

3.) If a project selects to install a traffic signal i.e. countermeasure NS03 at a location, additional countermeasures cannot be utilized in the B/C ratio calculation for the project.

In this LRSP, a total of ten (10) projects have been identified for HSIP funding. The 10 different projects along with the countermeasures, locations, project costs, benefit costs, and B/C ratios associated with each project are provided on the following pages. The combination of countermeasures that were selected for each project and location was selected to provide the most competitive applications for HSIP grant funding. While a project can have a maximum of three (3) individual countermeasures, the projects that have been identified through this analysis happen to have one per project. Project summarizes are provided below and Table 20 provides a summary of the recommended projects. Additionally, Appendix A provides detailed information for each project include locations, cost breakdown, the crash data table, and the B/C ratio calculation.

11. Evaluation & Implementation

This section describes strategies the City may take to evaluate the success of this LRSP and steps needed to update the LRSP in the future. The effectiveness of safety improvements recommended in this LRSP should be evaluated following installation to ensure the measures are addressing safety issues as intended. This document should be considered a living document that is updated every 5 years to assess how well the implemented strategies have performed and update the crash data to identify new trends that might occur throughout the City.

The following strategies should be implemented to en s
ure the City’s success in improving safety
performance in Palm Springs.

• Safety partners such as the Fire Department, Police Department, Recreation Department, and local school districts should meet on a yearly basis to discuss the effectiveness of the safety improvements.

• City should develop a spreadsheet or database to track safety project installations and record 3 or more years of “before” and “after” crash information at those locations. Once countermeasures are constructed, schedule and track assessment dates to ensure they happen.

• City should conduct field observations shortly after projects are constructed to ensure the project is operating as intended.

Table 21 summarizes the educational programs and action items recommended to successfully improve safety throughout the City.

12. Conclusion
The City prepared this LRSP to identify, analyze and prioritize roadway safety improvements on the local s
treets throughout the City. This LRSP identifies the top systemic crash patterns and top crash locations throughout the City, based on crash data collected from March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2021. The LRSP also provides the City a toolbox of countermeasures to address the systemic crash patterns and reduce crashes at the City’s top crash locations. This LRSP provides the City with in-depth analysis of crash data that could be useful in determining safety improvements based on current programs outside of the HSIP grant funding process such as Safe Routes to School (SRTS).

In this LRSP, a total of ten (10) projects have been identified for HSIP funding. The combination of countermeasures that were selected for each project and location was selected to provide the most competitive applications for HSIP grant funding. In addition to HSIP projects, opportunities for education related to bicycle and pedestrian activity and enforcement related to DUI crashes have also been identified. This document is considered a living document to be updated every 5 years to assess how well the implemented strategies have performed and update the crash data to identify new trends that might occur throughout the City.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT

DATE: June 30, 2022 NEW BUSINESS

SUBJECT: REPORT OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN

FROM: Justin Clifton, City Manager

BY: Engineering Division

SUMMARY:

A Pedestrian Master Plan (Pedestrian Plan) is a roadmap that lays the foundation for pedestrian improvements within the public right-of way for the City. The master plan was funded by a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and will serve as a basis for applying for funding for pedestrian safety improvements. The Pedestrian Plan is now complete and ready for the City Council to receive and file.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file a report on the Pedestrian Plan for the City of Palm Springs

BACKGROUND:

In August 2017, the City applied to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Active Transportation Call for Proposals, Community Action Plan, which would provide grant funding to assess pedestrian and school routes citywide. The City applied for funds to create a Pedestrian Master Plan and a Safe Routes to Schools Master Plan.

Safe Routes to Schools is a federal program to make it safer for students to walk and bike to schools and encourage more walking and biking where safety is not a barrier , and provides recommendations to achieve these improvements.

In October 2017 , the City was awarded up to $200,000 in grant funding, with the City providing up to $50,000 as a local match. As a part of the grant, SCAG would assign a project manager from their agency to work with the City to define the scope, select a consultant, and administer the contract.

In January 2019, SCAG reached out to the City to inform them of project delays , staff changes, and proposed a timeline for procuring a consultant for the City.

On September 20, 2019, SCAG notified 4,147 firms of the release of their Request For Proposal (RFP) through their solicitation management system. A total of 54 firms downloaded the RFP and SCAG received five proposals in response to their RFP.

In March 2020, KOA Corporation (KOA) was selected as the consultant to develop a plan for the City of Palm Springs to improve pedestrian safety and improve conditions for walking while also promoting an active lifestyle.

In May 2020, the City kicked-off the project with KOA. Between May 2020 and December 2021, the following activities took place:
• June to October 2020: The project team held a series of public meetings to assess the pedestrian needs for the City. Since this was done during the pandemic, virtual meetings were scheduled in each City Council District and a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was selected. The CAC was established to provide guidance to the project team, assist with the promotion of virtual events, and help move the project forward. The CAC was comprised of resident leaders, representatives from local organizations, schools, and other partner agencies. • November 2020: T he CAC he ld their fi rst of five meetings . The project team worked with the Palm Springs Police Department to collect additional collision data. Because most students were learning remotely at the time, data on students walking and biking to school was not available. Therefore, the focus shifted from the specific plans for each school that would be typical in a Safe Routes to Schools Master Plan, to a more general approach of looking at improvements to pedestrian facilities near schools, with input from the community and school representatives. • January 2021: Final data was collected to assess hot spots concerning pedestrian accidents or fatalities. Also, traffic calming request s related to pedestrian safety were reviewed by the project team. The second meeting with the CAC was held. • March 2021: V irtual meetings were held for each City Council District . During these meetings, KOA discussed how residents in each district c ould submit their suggestions, recommendations, and concerns via email or an on-line link provided at the time. Mobility audits were conducted so residents could bring neighborhood concerns to the forefront. Meetings were also held with various community stakeholders that were not part of the CAC. This included the Police Department, Facilities and Maintenance Staff, PSUSD, Palm Springs PTA Council, ONE -PS, Chamber of Commerce, Main Street Merchants, Sun Line Transit Agency , the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, and various other stakeholders. • July 2021: A draft report was provided to Staff. Based on the community input and collision data, and other projects in progress, locations were identified to assess for project recommendations.
• August 2021: O ut of a total of 137 locations reviewed in the draft report , the consultant recommended 37 locations for some type of safety treatment. A third meeting with the CAC was held.

• December 2021: Two meetings were held with the CAC, presenting the 18-month period of data collection, community and stakeholder input, and final recommendations. After input, a final report was provided on January 5, 2022.

STAFF ANALYSIS:

The Pedestrian Plan provides locations of recommended projects that will help the City achieve its pedestrian goals of improving mobility, sustainability, community health, accessibility, and addressing the public needs.

A full copy of the Pedestrian Plan can be found in the following link:

https://publicportal.palmspringsca.gov

The first three chapters of the report describes how the Pedestrian Plan was developed, documents the broad community outreach and engagement efforts that took place, and provides the community context of existing conditions, which will help Staff apply for grant applications to fund the recommended improvements.

Project Recommendations:

The recommendations are discussed in Chapter 4 of the report, and the 37 recommended projects are grouped by City Council Districts (2018 map). Projects range from closing gaps in sidewalks, modifications to traffic signal operations, installing enhanced crosswalk treatments, installing curb extensions (bulb -outs) at corners /crossings, adding new crosswalks, restriping high visibility crosswalks, adding stop signs at specific intersections, and narrowing of roadways by adding bike and parking lanes. Tables and maps of the proposed improvements for each district can be found on P ages 41-55 of the report.

Priority Infrastructure Projects:

A detailed evaluation of the 37 projects was done using the following themes:

1. Mobility – Project enables safe pedestrian travel.

2. Linkages – Project provides needed connections to activities such as schools, parks, transit, neighborhoods.

3. Sustainability – Project encourages a shift in mode choice towards non-motorized modes.

4. Economy – Project provides access to commerce.

5. City Identity – Project strengthens Palm Springs as a one-of-a-kind destination with a unique lifestyle.

6. Community Action Request Forms (CARF) – If a formal request was made, the project addresses comments/concerns brought up by the community, as submitted on the CARF application.

7. Other Input Sources – the project addresses comments/concerns received from the on- line mapping tool, virtual walk audits, and observations from the project team.

Based on that evaluation, the 15 highest scoring projects were selected as “Priority Infrastructure Projects”. Identifying t hese projects as priorities ensures that the highest scoring project in each District will be addressed first. A detailed list of Pr iority Infrastructure Projects is found on Pages 57-58 of the report.

Project Corridors:

Five of the pedestrian projects highlight how improvements can be combined and applied to corridors. The corridors are as follows:

1. San Rafael Drive – between N. Palm Canyon Drive and N. Sunrise Way

2. Racquet Club Drive – between N. Indian Canyon Drive and N. Sunrise Way

3. Tachevah Drive – just west of Via Miraleste to Avenida Caballeros

4. Ramon Road – at S. Farrell Drive and at S. Sunrise Way

5. S. Palm Canyon Drive (area south of the E. Palm Canyon curve) – between Belardo Road and Avenida Granada

Detailed project sheets for each of these corridors are included in Appendix D of the report (Pages 161 – 177).

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines , the requested City Council action is not a “Project” pursuant to Section 15378(b)(1).
