CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
DEPARTMENT: FIRE & POLICE DEPARTMENT
FROM: CHRISTOPHER KNAPP, DIVISION CHIEF/FIRE MARSHAL
JOHN MUREY, ACTING POLICE CHIEF
TITLE: 2024 FIREWORKS ENFORCEMENT AFTER-ACTION REPORT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Receive and accept the 2024 Fireworks Enforcement After-Action Report presented by the Salinas Fire and Police Department.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached After-Action Report provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies utilized to enforce laws and ordinances regarding illegal fireworks in the City of Salinas. It outlines both the successes achieved and areas for improvement, guiding future enforcement efforts. Additionally, the report presents statistical data on the sale of 'Safe-n-Sane' fireworks and evaluates the effectiveness of our outreach and enforcement initiatives in curbing illegal fireworks use in Salinas.
BACKGROUND:
The use of illegal fireworks continues to frustrate our citizens and burden our limited public safety resources. As this problem is not unique to the City of Salinas, staff continues to work to find ways to help combat the issue and minimize the impacts to all.
The overall strategy for the public outreach campaign and enforcement plan was a collaborative effort on behalf of the SFD Prevention Division and other City departments, in collaboration with the City Council Fireworks Sub-Committee.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed Page | 2
action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Accepting this staff report supports the following Council goals:
• Safe Livable Community
• Quality of Life
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
This report is a compilation of information from the different departments and staff who participated in the enforcement operations and public outreach campaigns. The information was gathered by the Salinas Fire Department (SFD), the Salinas Police Department (SPD), Salinas Public Works Department (SPW), Monterey County Emergency Communications Department (ECD), and other City staff.

AFTER ACTION REPORT OVERVIEW
This report is a compilation of information from the different departments and staff who participated in the enforcement operations and public outreach campaigns. The information was gathered by the Salinas Fire Department (SFD), the Salinas Police Department (SPD), Salinas Public Works Department (SPW), Monterey County Emergency Communications Department (ECD), and other City staff.
The overall strategy for the public outreach campaign and enforcement plan was a collaborative effort on behalf of the SFD Prevention Division and other City departments, in collaboration with the City Council Fireworks Sub-Committee.
The recommendations in this AAR should be viewed with considerable attention to the needs for a safe and livable community. In some cases, departments may determine that the benefits of implementation are insufficient to outweigh cost or pose a considerable safety risk for staff or the public. In other cases, departments may identify alternative solutions that are more effective.
However, each department should review the recommendations and determine the most appropriate action and time needed for implementation.
The issues addressed in this AAR should be reviewed and thoroughly examined for the appropriation of needed resources to ensure the functions of incident response, stabilization and enforcement are safe, efficient, and effective.

Operational Overview:
Starting on June 1st, a multi-media campaign was launched to increase involvement from residents in the reporting of illegal fireworks use. Building on the positive outcome realized in 2018 and 2019, large signs were again placed at key intersections throughout the city promoting the various methods of reporting illegal fireworks use. This was further publicized in a broad social media campaign, print press, and broadcast news outlets. A detailed statistical analysis is attached.
This campaign proved ongoing success in routing complaints received through the www.salinasfireworks.com website, the “Salinas Connect” application, as well as the voicemail and text tip line.
7 | Page
Based on the lessons learned from the previous fireworks seasons in 2020 through 2023, undercover patrols, along with marked vehicles, were deployed on the holiday to corroborate citizen tips from the Salinas Connect app, salinasfireworks.com website, voicemail, and text reports.
All members of the 2024 Fireworks Enforcement Task Force coordinated with one another via telecommunication related means, resources patrolled areas where increased activity was evident and collected evidence to support the issuance of administrative citations after the fact.
Citizen participation in reporting illegal fireworks slightly increased as compared to last year. This increase can be attributed to multiple factors including success of our campaign, inflation across many sectors like fuel and fireworks, and the holiday falling on a Thursday. The “Salinas Connect” 8 | Page
application served as the primary repository for all illegal fireworks reports and residents could upload pictures and video evidence to support the reports.
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
For the period of June 1st through July 12th, the total number of Administrative Citations referred to the Office of City Attorney was 118.
Administrative fines remained unchanged from the previous year at $1,250 for the “Use, Possession, or Sale of Illegal Fireworks” and $250 for the “Noise Violation” totaling a minimum citation of $1,500.
In some cases, multiple fines were assessed where illegal activity was documented over several days. The highest single citation amount was $22,500.
Disputed citations are managed and heard in accordance with the City of Salinas Municipal Code.
The Fire Prevention Division coordinates the Administrative Hearing process with the necessary parties.

Salinas Fire Department Operations
During this period in 2024, SFD responded to nearly 2,176 emergency incidents. A breakdown of the fire incidents with previous years’ data is provided as follows:
2022 2023 2024
Structure Fires: 56 15 13
Vegetation Fires: 40 62 61
Misc. Fire (Dumpsters, etc.): 38 18 60
Totals: 134 95 134
For the 4th of July holiday period, SFD’s staffing consisted of 2 members of Fire Administration, 6 members of Fire Prevention, 6 SFD Drone Pilots, and additional city staff to respond to increased calls for service and patrol the target threat areas.
The Salinas Police Department provided 1 Commander, 1 Sergeant and 6 undercover officers. 9 additional city employees from assisted with illegal fireworks patrols. Those departments included: Community Development, City Clerk’s Office, City Manager’s Office, and Information Systems.
Salinas Fire responded to numerous calls for service on 4th of July to include 2 structure fires, 8 vegetation fires, 34 medical emergencies, 3 vehicle accidents, and numerous other calls.
13 | Page
STRENGTHS
Adequate funding from existing fees, surcharges, and fines. Participation from the City employees alleviated the excessive burden of limited SFD and SPD resources.
Comprehensive media coverage including ad campaigns on all platforms such as television, radio, social media, and signs.
Citizen-based tips from the “neighborhood approach” using Salinas Connect and fireworks hotline.
Undercover operations to “observe and report” led to Administrative Citations with better evidentiary documentation.
Integration of the Salinas Connect reporting platform provided detailed information for follow-up.
Additional signage was placed at high visibility areas and intersections of the city. Advance warnings sent to addresses where illegal fireworks were reported last year helped to deter activity in certain areas.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
Collection and sorting of data from various sources of intelligence remains a manual process and is labor intensive.
Manual review of video evidence is also time consuming and delays issuance of Administrative Citations and pulls staff from normal job functions. Means of collecting accurate evidence.
More real time integration between tips and enforcement, starting in June. 14 | Page
RECOMMENDATIONS
Increase utilization of Drone Teams (SPD and SFD) on future July 4th Holidays. Continue to utilize additional city employees, willing to observe, report and collect evidence.
Increase sharing of regional resources to target illegal fireworks sales. Increase publicity of undercover activity and citation statistics in traditional and social media.
Continue attempts to engage neighborhood groups and citizens in “observe and report” roles.
Consider a “reward” system for tips leading to successful citation of individuals and property owners where illegal fireworks are used. Rewards could be funded with successfully collected fines.
Work with community groups to establish a community-based organized fireworks display to discourage “at-home” use of illegal fireworks.
CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS
Continued collaborative efforts in this years’ campaign proved to be a positive influence toward curbing illegal fireworks use in the City of Salinas. The goal of these programs continues to focus on changing social consciousness at the individual and neighborhood level. It should be acknowledged that this is an ongoing process over several years but marked decreases in activity were noted this year.
The improvement in the quality of citizen reports is a positive indicator of the success of these efforts. The increase in citations with actionable evidence is another product of better collaboration between City departments in a coordinated fashion.
Future years’ plans will build on these successes and the Council Fireworks Subcommittee and City staff will remain engaged with constituents to discuss and implement recommendations to bring about a social change and improve the quality of life for the residents of Salinas. 15 | Page

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS, TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION DIVISION FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
THRU: ADRIANA ROBLES, P.E., CITY ENGINEER
BY: JONATHAN HERNANDEZ, JUNIOR ENGINEER
TITLE: 2024-2025 PRIORITIZATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECTS RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution approving the proposed neighborhood traffic calming prioritization list for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Numerous requests for traffic calming projects have exceeded City budgeted resources to respond to and provide traffic calming solutions for neighborhoods currently petitioning for projects. City staff evaluated and ranked traffic calming requests using the Council approved prioritization criteria. The Traffic and Transportation Commission reviewed and approved the draft prioritization list for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. It is recommended City Council approve the proposed neighborhood traffic calming project prioritization list for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND:
Over the years, the City has noted numerous concerns from residents regarding neighborhood traffic related issues. Many have been related to driver behavior in the form of speeding or cutthrough traffic on residential streets.
In 2009, the City of Salinas adopted the Neighborhood Traffic Management Programs to respond to residents’ requests to reduce the speed of vehicles and discourage cut-through traffic on residential streets. With the success and community support for the first complete traffic calming projects on Rosarita Drive and Little River Drive, requests for traffic calming projects began rapidly increasing. City staff evaluate requests as they are received but traffic calming projects are now backlogged due to limited time and budgetary resources. In 2017, staff recommended the adoption of a priority rating system based on fair and impartial methodologies to deliver projects based on identified needs and benefits. The recommended prioritization criteria policy was reviewed and recommended by the Traffic and Transportation Commission and then approved by City Council Resolution.

The City developed the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, which establishes a process for a community led effort to develop the design of a traffic calming plan that is ultimate supported by the residents themselves who will have to live with the project once it is completed. There are several countermeasures available to help mitigate traffic issues, however, the predominate request from the community tends to be rubberized speed cushions. Staff notes that there are other countermeasures available which can be more effective, and may have additional benefits beyond traffic calming, such as curb extensions and pedestrian ramps. However, the planning and design of traffic calming projects is a community led effort which tends to result in more rubberized speed cushions.
Staff estimates the average cost of a neighborhood traffic calming project typically ranges from $40,000 to $150,000 depending on the size and complexity of the project. The project can take several months for community input and approval before advancing to implementation. The FY 2023-24 budget for traffic calming projects was approximately $400,000, which was distributed to four traffic calming projects include Rainier Drive, Nogal Drive, Rochex Avenue, and Coventry Street.
An annual CIP budget of $200,000 was allocated by Council for traffic calming for FY2024-25.
The City anticipates completion of three projects for FY2024-25. Once the budget is depleted, the backlogged traffic calming petitions will be held until resources become available or until the next re-prioritization list is developed.
The backlog of traffic calming projects includes 21 streets. An additional 21 new traffic calming petitions were received by December 31, 2023. Petitions for traffic calming projects received after December 31, 2023, will be included in the FY2025-26 prioritization report once traffic data is available. Based on the prioritization scoring from the approved criteria, staff is recommending traffic calming improvement projects to be considered in the order shown in Table 1 for FY2024-
25. City staff will work on the projects in the order listed in the table until the budget is depleted.

*Streets with equal scores rank the highest collision history first For all other neighborhoods requesting traffic calming projects, which scored less than 20 out of 100, staff recommends closing out the request. Traffic studies found that these neighborhoods have relatively low speeds, volumes and collision history when compared to other neighborhoods.
Given the abundance of traffic calming requests in the City it is reasonably foreseeable that these neighborhoods will not be prioritized for traffic calming in the foreseeable future. Therefore, staff recommends that requests for traffic calming projects that do not meet the threshold be closed and the petitioners notified.
Traffic and Transportation Commission
The traffic calming project prioritization list was presented to the Traffic and Transportation Commission at its June 13, 2024, meeting. The Commission voted in favor to recommend City Council approve the proposed neighborhood traffic calming project prioritization list for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
Note from the City Manager
Like many cities in California, Salinas has a robust traffic calming process that does a great job of ranking projects, however, because of budget and personnel resource considerations that does not mean that all projects are able to be done which leads to the backlog. This naturally leads to a lot of frustration.
Without question, this is an area of considerable interest, and it is an area that requires periodic updates and or review. As a result, staff will schedule a review of this program and process with the Council over the next few months.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The 2024-2025 Prioritization of Traffic Calming Projects supports the Council goal of “Effective and Culturally Responsive Government”.
The City developed the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program to respond to residents’ concerns regarding traffic safety. Through before and after studies, the City has determined that the neighborhood traffic calming projects have some effect to lower traffic speeds and volumes.
However, the City also completed a comprehensive 10-year collision analysis, the Vision Zero Action Plan, which reveals that very few traffic collisions occur on residential streets. The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program may help respond to residential requests, but the program has little effect to support the City Council’s goal of “Public Safety”.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Public Works staff coordinates with the Salinas Fire Department regarding traffic calming devices and minimizing impacts to emergency response times. Public Works also coordinates with the Salinas Police Department if traffic enforcement assistance is necessary.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. Traffic calming projects are budgeted with Measure X annual allocations. Staff will work on the traffic calming projects in the order that they are prioritized for Fiscal Year 2024-25, until the related CIP (Project 9163) budget is depleted.

A typical two-lane undivided residential street has a maximum capacity of 2,000 average daily trips. For typical residential streets, the traffic calming score for volume shall be determined as 1 point for every 50 vehicles per day exceeding 1,500 with a maximum possible score of 20 points. Special consideration is given to a local collector facility. A Local Collector (Residential Type II) roadways are designed with a larger cross-section and may serve as a bus route, and typically has a capacity of 5,000 average trips per day. For typical collector facilities, the traffic calming score for volume shall be determined as 1 point for every 100 vehicles per day exceeding 2,500 with a maximum possible score of 20 points.
Measure the speed at which 85 percent of traffic travels that speed or below. Collected speeds should only be measured under conditions of free flow and should omit data observed from following vehicles or interrupted flow. A typical two-lane undivided residential street has a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The traffic calming score for speed shall be determined as 2 point for mile per hour measured from the 85th percentile speed over the posted (25mph) speed limit with a maximum possible score of 20 points.

Review accident data for the three most recent years for which data is available. The traffic calming score for speed shall be calculated as 3 point for every accident. Adjustment factors of 3 and 2 are used respectively, to weight crash history for fatal and pedestrian/bicyclist collisions. A maximum possible score of 20 points.
Proximity to designated schools and pedestrian generators (e.g. parks, libraries, and other public facilities) within 500 feet of the roadway section. The traffic calming score should add 10 points for every school and 5 points for every additional pedestrian generator with in vicinity of the study area with a maximum possible score of 20 points.
Presence of sight distance issues, changes in vertical or horizontal curvature, corner sight considerations, presence of sidewalks, uncontrolled crosswalks and other unusual conditions or characteristics not aforementioned.

City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
1. INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
Growth in traffic volumes in Salinas and the broader region has increased the frequency and severity of traffic-related issues on neighborhood streets. Numerous agencies across the nation have confronted these problems using a proven process and tools to address both safety and quality-of-life concerns. The process is known as a Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP), which uses traffic calming tools and techniques.
The purpose of this document is to define a NTMP that is customized to the needs and unique characteristics of Salinas residential streets.
OVERVIEW
As defined in an ITE Journal article, “[t]raffic calming is the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior and improve conditions for nonmotorized street users.”1 This definition suggests that the negative effects of vehicle speeds and/or excessive traffic volumes on neighborhood streets can diminish the residential quality of life. While residential life “quality” is subjective, vehicle speeds and traffic volumes can be quantified and compared against adopted community or industry standards. Experiences reinforce this notion as some community residents embrace traffic calming, while others are not so willing to accept the inconveniences of “managed traffic” in lieu of a perceived improvement in residential quality of life.
With this in mind, the Development and Engineering Services (DES) Department has requested assistance with preparation of a comprehensive program that includes a systematic approach to handling neighborhood traffic requests, and applying the most appropriate traffic calming measures for the situation at hand. The NTMP will also engage community residents during the development of individual neighborhood traffic calming plans and determine local support for the plan through neighborhood participation.
The process defined herein is intended solely for use on public streets and is not applicable to non-City maintained roadways (i.e., private roads, or county roadways). However, use of this manual as a guideline for non-City roadways, will require oversight by the Fire Department on the planning, design, and implementation of such features. Eligible City maintained roadways (i.e., public roads) include two-lane local, collector, and some minor arterials located within the City limits.
The terms “local” and “collector” streets refer to the functional classification that denotes a specific level in the transportation network hierarchy and specifies the design according to City of Salinas standards. While the streets may have been designed for a particular purpose, they may function differently in the field than intended. Therefore, it may be difficult to differentiate between the two classifications. Following is a narrative description of each roadway classification:
• Local Streets provide direct access to residential properties and facilitate short neighborhood trips.
Typical local street features include:
− Two-lane 24- to 34-foot travel way width (curb face to curb face) 1 Lockwood, I.M., “ITE Traffic Calming Definition.” ITE Journal, Vol. 67, July 1997, pp. 22-24.
Chapter 1 - Introduction Page 2
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
− Serves fewer than 75 residential units on a through cul-de-sac or street • Collector Streets are secondary roads that connect motorists from surrounding local streets to arterial roadways and freeways and facilitate intermediate trip lengths. Typical collector street features include:
− 34- to 40-foot travel way
− Connects local streets to arterials
− May or may not include front-on housing
The underpinnings of the NTMP are based on a combination of parallel strategies, known collectively as the “Three E’s”:
• Education – Providing information and raising awareness; targeting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists about the safest and best ways to share the road.
• Engineering – Physical measures constructed to lower speeds, improve safety, or otherwise reduce the impacts of automobiles, on residents and other transportation modes. • Enforcement – Targeted enforcement by the City of Salinas Police Department to reinforce the emphasis on education and engineering aspects of the program.
This document focuses on the engineering aspects of neighborhood traffic calming, though education and enforcement play an important role in any engineering strategy. This document and informational flyers provide education, while the City of Salinas Police Department, Monterey County Sheriff Department, and California Highway Patrol conduct targeted speed enforcement. Although targeted speed enforcement provides a positive influence on neighborhood streets, the demand for this service can easily outstrip the resources of any enforcement agency. Therefore, neighborhood traffic calming is a viable alternative that is typically self-enforcing and minimizes operating costs.
This program also considers the roadway network and design of new developments. Developers, with guidance from DES staff, can reduce the need for future traffic calming by designing new streets that discourage speeding and cut-through traffic. To supplement these design principles, developers can incorporate traffic calming concepts and measures as part of the initial development.
NTMP DEVELOPMENT
This manual was adapted to meet the needs of the City of Salinas. An advisory committee composed of representatives from City of Salinas Planning, Engineering, and Traffic Divisions; Salinas Fire Districts, Salinas Police Department; Monterey Salinas Transit; City Council Districts, and local agencies and interested parties convened to review material and provide input on specific aspects of the NTMP process framework and toolbox.
The material presented to the TAC was based on a 2004 national survey conducted of 21 leading jurisdictions’ traffic calming practices. The survey provided insight into the evolution of the traffic calming field since the last in-depth report2
almost a decade ago. The various approaches, policies, and uses of traffic 2 Ewing, R. Traffic Calming State-of-the-Practice. Washington, D.C., USA: Institute of Transportation Engineers /Federal Highway Administration, 1999.
Chapter 1 - Introduction Page 3
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
calming devices reported in this survey provided a menu of alternatives to develop a Neighborhood Traffic Management Program unique to the City of Salinas.
FUNDING
Funding for the Salinas NTMP will likely come from the City’s limited street funding, which will compete annually for funding amongst other programs. Funding will go towards staff time (operating cost) and construction costs (capital cost) of standard devices. As DES identifies needs in the next fiscal budget, City staff and decision-makers may recognize that other funding sources may be necessary to maintain the program or meet the anticipated demand. To offset the public demand and stretch the funding, residents will be required to contribute 75 percent of the costs for speed humps (or other vertical devices). Additional cost sharing may be necessary depending on annual funding and level of public demand. The need and proportional share to residents will be determined annually.
In the absence of funding or to expedite treatment, residents may elect to fund a local traffic calming plan.
The neighborhood must prove the financial ability to fund 100 percent of the anticipated costs, which include plan development, engineering drawings, and construction. Upon proof of financial ability, DES can elect to authorize the neighborhood’s request to develop a traffic calming plan. Regardless of resident contributions, physical measures will be implemented only if warranted through an engineering study or as part of another City sponsored project (e.g., a streetscape plan).
In addition, residents could voluntarily elect to fund aesthetic upgrades to the standard devices. Such aesthetic upgrades could include landscaping or use of decorative materials.
HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT
This document provides guidelines, not rigid requirements. These guidelines are primarily intended for DES staff and residents to help develop an appropriate NTMP, and for builders and staff to create and review new subdivision plans.
This manual will likely evolve as staff and community members work through the program; and identify more efficient or different methods of implementing the program and better ways of disseminating information. DES staff may also revise the design guidelines and cost estimates to ensure updated material is presented.

2. PROCESS FRAMEWORK
The Neighborhood Traffic Management Program is a partnership between the City and its residents.
Participation begins with the initial petition filing, continues with the development of a neighborhood traffic calming plan, then moves to the final step of determining neighborhood support. The process framework identifies the steps by which the Development and Engineering Services (DES) staff and community members interact and participate in the NTMP. Figure 1 on the following page graphically illustrates the NTMP process framework. The accompanying text below provides greater detail.
The process framework is comprised of four key elements that focus on specific tasks and conclude with the implementation of a traffic calming plan.
Each step of the
Process Framework
is numbered and
corresponds with
Figure 1.
• Plan Initiation – Is my street eligible for traffic calming consideration? • Plan Development – Who develops the traffic calming plan? • Plan Support – What are the requirements for neighborhood support? • Plan Implementation – How are the supported traffic calming measures installed?
This chapter also includes a “Process for Removal”. This process presents the framework for removal of neighborhood calming devices in the event residents wish to have certain aspects of the implemented plan removed.
PLAN INITIATION
This component describes how to initiate the NTMP and determine eligibility. 1 –Assess DES Workload and Determine Number of Areas to be Treated Before initiating a local traffic calming plan, staff will review the number of areas that can be treated in given year based on the city’s traffic calming budget and workload. This assessment is important to balance the resources of the department due to the close oversight and required level of staff involvement. 2 – Citizen Request
The process is initiated when a resident(s) submits a request to DES staff to investigate speeding, traffic volumes, or traffic-related safety concerns within their neighborhood. Requests for City-maintained streets should provide sufficient detail for staff to understand the traffic-related concern and magnitude. The action initiates the dialogue between the resident(s) and DES staff. Requests can be submitted via letter or e-mail.
Requests in writing from City Council will also initiate the process.

DES identifies number of areas that can be treated in given year based on the city's traffic calming budget and workload.
1. Plan Initiation
Citizen Request (also via City Council): Stating perceived problem and affected area via calls, e-mail, or through Web site.
Community Meeting:- Noticing to neighborhood- Overview of process- Review of issues- Define desired outcome- Tutorial by Staff- Form Neighborhood Traffic Committee (NTC)- Review annual capital budget allocation and local contributions
- Petition sent to citizens
Plan Development (3):- Identify physical traffic calming devices to treat issues according to street type, subject to device eligibility guidelines. - Review annual capital budget allocation and local contributions.- Funding commitment required- Solicit affected agency inputNeighborhood Meeting:- Notify residents of meeting- Review draft plan- Gather final input- Educate attendees on survey process- Refine plan as appropriate Determine plan
support. (4)
Level of Support required for Phase 2 or 3
devices:
- Minimum Response Rate = 50%- Minimum Approval Rate = 67%Tally Survey Results:- Staff tallies neighborhood support.- General public responses noted separately.- Identify neighborhood support for traffic calming plan and finding plan.
Design and Consultation:- Develop final designs and review with affected agencies (Fire, Police, Transit Agency, School District). - Conduct field tests of devices, as appropriate.
Construct
temporary or
permanent
devices as
appropriate (5)
Monitoring and
Evaluation
Revise as Needed (6)
Problem resolved?
(1) A response is sent to every citizen who made a request informing them of the course of action. (2) Study area to include all streets that may experience a significant change in traffic due to treatment and will generally be bounded by arterials, freeways, rivers, etc. (3) First round of plan development will focus on speed control devices, if Development and Engineering Services (DES) implementation of non-physical measures in Step 3a/3b. (4) Surveys distributed within study area. Multi Unit Dwellings' responses do not count toward the minimum response rate. Survey includes three questions: (a) Do you support the proposed plan? (b) Would you oppose a traffic calming device adjacent to your property? (c) Would you contribute to neighborhood funding of the proposed traffic calming measures? (5) Temporary devices are constructed at staff discretion based on previous experience. Temporary devices can be converted to permanent devices after 6 months of acceptable performance. (6) If non-physical and speed control devices are found to be ineffective, DES may initiate volume control plan.

3 – Assess Traffic
DES staff will review the petition and determine the appropriate course of action. Certain traffic concerns may be remedied through methods other than physical traffic calming devices (3a). For instance, staff may initially install non-physical traffic calming devices (see Chapter 3) that utilize signs and roadway striping, conduct landscaping maintenance (e.g., trees blocking a stop sign), request targeted speed enforcement by the Salinas Police Department, or provide other engineering related improvements. Additionally, DES staff may distribute or assist residents with distribution of educational flyers reminding local residents of the rules of the road and safe neighborhood driving habits (3b). Following these actions, staff will determine whether the treatments remedied the cited concern based on technical documentation (3c).
The City will send a response letter to the individual who submitted the original request, indicating the initial action City staff intends to undertake. If the non-physical traffic calming measures or other actions do not eliminate the concern, staff may recommend physical traffic calming treatments. 4 – Traffic Calming Issue
Upon receipt of the request or determination that previous non-physical traffic calming actions did not address the cited concerns, DES staff may elect to pursue a traffic calming plan with local residents. 5 – Citizen Notified of Course of Action
Staff will send a letter to those residents indicating that their request is on a waiting list for future evaluation pending available City resources. If the number of requests exceeds staff resources, staff will select requests first on a safety priority basis (i.e., locations with a higher than expected number of collisions, higher pedestrian/bicycle concentration locations such as schools, community centers, or libraries) and second on a first-come-first-served basis. The remaining locations will be placed on a waiting list.
To provide residents with another avenue for treatment, neighborhoods can elect to fund the analysis and construction of traffic calming devices to consider expedited neighborhood treatment. The neighborhood must prove the financial ability to fund 100 percent of the anticipated costs, which include field analysis, plan development, engineering drawings, and construction. Upon proof of financial ability, the City can elect to authorize the neighborhood’s request to develop a traffic calming plan. 6 – DES Defines Study Area and Collect Initial Traffic Data Upon notification to proceed, DES staff will initially define the study area, which may be a specific street or much larger area such as a neighborhood. The size of the study area depends on the extent of the trafficrelated concerns and should include any streets that could serve as an alternative route to the treated street.
The study area may also include streets that have their only access to the treated street (e.g., cul-de-sac).
Boundary lines can also follow geographic features such as a creek, hillside, open space, or an arterial roadway. The study area may later be refined with resident input.

City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Based on the study area, DES staff will collect traffic data on streets identified as a concern. Traffic data collection will include the following:
• Street width and length
• Traffic speeds
• Traffic volumes
• Collision history
Traffic speeds and volumes should be collected for a minimum of 48 hours using a mechanical traffic counter or other appropriate device. Staff may elect to conduct a radar speed surveys to verify traffic speeds or conduct a time specific speed survey. Surveys should be collected on all potentially affected streets to insure a comprehensive set of base data for comparison purposes.
PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The plan development component is a collaborative effort between DES staff and a Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee (NTC). They will work together to develop a traffic calming plan by completing the following steps:
7 – Neighborhood Kick-off Meeting
For those requests selected by DES staff, they will send a petition to the individual who initially requested the investigation. The petition requires a minimum of 10 signatures in support of pursuing a traffic calming plan.
The signatures must be from individuals 18 years and older and from separate households. If the requesting individual cannot attain the minimum required 10 signatures, the request will be terminated. For streets or street segments with fewer than 10 residential units, the City may elect to accept the signatures from a majority of household residents.
Staff will notify study area residents, property owners, and business owners of a neighborhood meeting to learn more about the selection of their neighborhood area to participate in the NTMP. DES staff will host a neighborhood meeting to provide an overview of the NTMP and the process to develop, approve, and implement a neighborhood traffic calming plan. At this meeting, staff will accomplish the following:
• Review traffic-related issues – Discuss the type of issue(s), location(s), and time of occurrences.
Collect any additional information regarding traffic-related issues. • Refine Study area (if necessary) – Staff will refine the study area based on street(s) affected by the traffic-related issues or that may be potentially affected by development of a neighborhood traffic management plan.
• Review traffic data – Review the initial data collected and determine whether additional data collection is necessary.
• Neighborhood traffic management tutorial – Present an overview of available neighborhood traffic calming devices.
• Discuss Funding – The DES will identify the available funding sources and the anticipated amount of funding to be borne by the neighborhood for the construction of traffic calming devices. In addition, residents will be informed of the opportunity to fund enhanced aesthetic features, such as landscaping.
Chapter 2 – Process Framework Page 10
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
DES staff will provide interested residents the opportunity to volunteer and participate on the NTC. The NTC will meet with DES staff to review and develop a plan for their neighborhood. Although all residents have the opportunity to provide input and receive updates as the plan develops, the NTC is more actively involved, committing the time and effort necessary to develop a comprehensive plan. 8 – Plan Development
The NTC and DES staff will develop a short list of traffic calming devices to most appropriately treat the traffic concerns. Staff will provide guidance on the selection and placement of the devices. The Toolbox Guideline Tables 1-3 (see Chapter 4) can help to determine the most appropriate devices. The NTC will ultimately present the proposed plan to residents of the study area for public review and comment.
Following implementation on non-physical devices in the initial phase (step 3), Staff will use the following types of physical traffic calming measures to treat the traffic related concerns (see Toolbox chapter for more information):
• Vertical Devices – Speed humps, speed lumps, speed tables, etc. • Narrowing Devices – Bulbouts, chokers, center island narrowings, etc. • Horizontal Devices – Traffic circles, chicanes, lateral shifts, etc.
Because volume control measures (e.g., partial closures or forced turn islands) intentionally divert traffic to another street, new issues are likely to occur as a result. The City strongly promotes connectivity in and between neighborhoods to distribute traffic and minimize all modes of travel. For these reasons, volume control devices should be reserved until all other options have proven ineffective at reducing the traffic-related impacts.
Once DES staff and NTC have developed a plan that will adequately address the neighborhood concerns and finalized the committed funding sources, staff will solicit feedback from local service providers that may be affected by the plan. The intent is to identify concerns and develop viable alternatives to strike a balance between goals of the NTMP and the needs of other agencies. The following service providers should be included as appropriate when coordinating the plan review. • City of Salinas Fire District
• City of Salinas Police Department
• Ambulance Service Providers
• Monterey Salinas Transit
• Local School District / Bus Service
• Solid waste collection companies
Chapter 2 – Process Framework Page 11
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
9 – Proposed Plan Neighborhood Meeting
DES staff will notify the study area residents of a neighborhood meeting to review the Proposed Plan.
Residents will have the opportunity to review and provide input on the proposed plan. At this meeting, the NTC will present a map of the proposed plan, describe the types and locations of devices proposed, and discuss the estimated construction costs. If applicable, the NTC will also discuss the aesthetic improvements to gauge resident support. Changes to the proposed plan can be made as necessary.
The DES will also inform residents of the approval process and ballots they will receive once the proposed plan is refined.
10 – DES Conceptual Approval and Verification of Project Funding Prior to determining neighborhood support, DES staff will conceptually approve the plan and verify placement of all proposed traffic calming devices. Staff will also verify the residents’ financial responsibility for the proposed plan. The residents’ financial responsibility may include a portion of the construction costs and any costs for aesthetic upgrades.
NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT
The neighborhood support component assesses the amount of local neighborhood support for the proposed plan in the form of mail-in ballots. DES staff will mail the ballots to the study area residents, property owners, and applicable business owners.
11 – Determine Plan Support
Before distributing ballots, staff will inform residents in the study area regarding the pending vote with an informational brochure. The combination of this step and the neighborhood meeting (Step 9) will help to ensure that residents of the study area are properly informed.
Ballots will be distributed to study area residents, property owners, apartment units, and businesses owners (if applicable). The ballots will include a description and map of the proposed plan indicating the type and location of devices being proposed. The ballot will also include a mail-back postcard with three questions for residents to respond to:
• Do you support the proposed plan?
• Would you oppose traffic calming devices along your property frontage? • Would you contribute to neighborhood funding for the construction of the proposed traffic calming measures?
The mail-back postcard will also provide a space for residents to write comments regarding the proposed plan.
In addition to determining the local neighborhood support, staff will provide the opportunity for residents living outside of the immediate study area to voice their opinions, such as posting a neighborhood sign with city contact information or accepting comments through e-mail or a Web site. The magnitude of support by the general public will also be considered in the plan approval, but safety issues should govern the final decision for implementation.
Chapter 2 – Process Framework Page 12
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
12 – Minimum Neighborhood Support
A minimum response rate and approval rate must be obtained before staff can construct the proposed plan.
At least 50 percent of all ballots must be returned with at least 67 percent of returned ballots in favor. For example, if 100 ballots are mailed out, at least 50 must be returned with 34 in favor of the proposed plan.
Apartments present a unique situation because residents may be less likely to respond. For this reason, ballots from apartment units are not counted toward the minimum response rate, but will be counted in favor or against the proposed plan.
DES staff will count all received ballots and determine whether the minimum response rate and approval rate are satisfied. Staff will also tally the general public input. 13 – Neighborhood Support
If the minimum response rate and approval rate is satisfied, the DES will approve the proposed plan and submit the project for funding consideration.
If staff does not receive the minimum number of ballots, staff can assist the NTC in reminding neighborhood residents to submit their mail-back postcards in order to meet the minimum response rate. NTC members are encouraged to solicit input from their neighbors.
If the minimum response rate is met but the approval rate is not satisfied, the NTC has one opportunity to revise the plan. The DES staff and NTC will identify the aspects of the plan not favored by the neighborhood residents. Modifying the plan may also require soliciting a second review by the local service providers, holding a public meeting to present the revised plan, and redistributing ballots to the affected area. Before supplemental work, the DES will need to assess the department’s workload and financial needs to revise the plan.
If the minimum response rate and approval rate are satisfied, then the plan continues to the final component of the process.
14 – TTC Consideration/Recommendation to City Council
DES staff will present to the Traffic and Transportation Commission (TTC) a map of the community approved plan, describe the types and locations of devices proposed, and summarize the estimated construction costs.
If applicable, DES staff will also discuss the aesthetic improvements provided by selected measures. The TTC will make its recommendation to the City Council based on this presentation. 15 – City Council Approval of Traffic Calming and Funding Plans Similar to the TTC public meeting, DES staff will present a map of the community approved plan, describe the types and locations of devices proposed, summarize the estimated construction costs, and discuss the recommendation from the TTC. The City Council will either approve the traffic calming and funding plans to initiate construction, or recommend additional improvements and modifications to the plan – requiring a return to step 8.
Chapter 2 – Process Framework Page 13
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The final component consists of preparing the design plans, constructing, and monitoring the approved traffic calming devices.
16 – Design and Consultation
Upon approval of the proposed plan, DES staff will prepare the necessary design plans for each traffic calming device and consult with local service providers if necessary. The DES may conduct field tests to verify that local service providers’ vehicles can navigate through or around the proposed designs. DES will make modifications to the approved devices as necessary. 17 – Construction
Before constructing the traffic calming devices, the DES will inform the public and local service providers of the pending traffic calming devices. The DES will also provide education materials to inform local residents how to negotiate unfamiliar devices, as necessary.
The DES or a City contractor will construct the approved traffic calming devices. The staff may decide to construct temporary devices based on previous experience. DES staff will incorporate aesthetics into the design and construction of temporary devices where possible, but these devices may not be visually appealing due to cost limitations. Aesthetics will be a higher priority for permanent devices. 18 – Monitoring and Evaluation
The DES will monitor the effectiveness and neighborhood perception of the constructed devices for three to six months. Following the monitoring period, the DES will collect traffic speed and volume data for the treated streets and quantitatively determine the effects of the plan.
After constructing the approved plan, the DES will rely on the NTC and community members for feedback on the constructed devices. Based on the NTC and/or community members’ feedback, the DES will determine the next steps. For example, the approved plan may have produced reasonable and satisfactory results, and, therefore, no further action is required.
If the approved plan has not produced reasonable and satisfactory results, the DES can recommend one of the following:
• Collect additional traffic data as deemed appropriate • Modify constructed devices as deemed appropriate
• Construct additional speed control devices as deemed appropriate If the DES determines that additional speed control devices will not adequately address the traffic-related concern, the DES can recommend the use of alternative measures or programs.
Before supplemental work begins, the DES will assess the department’s workload and financial needs to revise the plan.
Chapter 2 – Process Framework Page 14
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
PROCESS FOR REMOVAL
The DES recognizes that after devices are approved and implemented, residents may wish to remove these devices. Historically, once installed, most traffic calming devices remain due to local support. This section provides guidelines for a systematic removal process.
Similar to the process for implementing neighborhood traffic calming devices, the removal process is resident-driven. The process requires that the same affected area be involved in the decision process for the removal of devices. As detailed below, greater neighborhood support is also required to verify that the neighborhood truly wants the devices removed. Residents must bear the costs for removal.
The removal process is described below, and the flowchart in Figure 2 outlines the removal process. Each step below is numbered and corresponds to the flowchart on Figure 2. 1 – Citizen Petition for Removal of Device(s)
To initiate the removal process, a resident living in the neighborhood where the device removal is being considered must submit a petition. The petition cannot be submitted within the first year of operation. The petition must be submitted with a minimum of 10 signatures from separate households. The petition must also state the location(s) of device(s) and reason for removal.
Once DES staff receives the petition, they will organize and distribute ballots for the removal process. 2 – Distribute Ballots
Ballots will be distributed to those residents, property owners, and business owners from the original study area. Although tenants or property owners may have changed, the same addresses will be provided the opportunity to participate in the approval process. The ballots will contain descriptions and maps of devices and locations proposed for removal. The ballot will also include a mail-back postcard that residents can use to indicate their support for or against the proposed removal. The ballot will also provide a space for residents to write comments regarding the removal.
3 – Required Neighborhood Support
A higher minimum response rate and approval rate must be met by those households on the treated street. A minimum of 75 percent of all ballots must be returned with at least 75 percent of all ballots received in favor of removal.
Similar to the installation process, apartment units do not count toward the minimum response rate. If the minimum response or approval rates are not met, residents must wait three years before refiling the petition (3a).
4 – Approval by DES
If the neighborhood support meets the minimum response and approval rates, the DES will calculate the estimated removal cost. The neighborhood must prove the ability to fund 100 percent of the anticipated costs.
Upon proof of financial ability, the DES can elect to authorize the removal of the specified devices (4a). A letter will be sent to all local service providers (e.g., Fire Department) indicating the location of device(s) to be removed (4b). If the full cost or removal is not provided, residents must wait three years before refiling the petition (4c).

3. TOOLBOX
This chapter of the NTMP summarizes the “toolbox” of devices that are available to the City of Salinas and community members when developing neighborhood traffic calming plans. The “toolbox” contains 31 different devices that address neighborhood traffic related concerns such as speeding vehicles, high traffic volumes, cut-through traffic, or collisions at neighborhood intersections. The devices vary in their ability to treat various traffic related concerns. For this reason, Chapter 4, “Toolbox Guidelines,” provides guidance on selecting the most appropriate devices given the type of specific traffic-related concern and street being treated.
The “toolbox” of neighborhood traffic management devices can be grouped into three categories:
• Non-Physical devices
• Speed Control
− Narrowing devices
− Horizontal devices
− Vertical devices
• Volume Control devices
For each device in the “toolbox,” the following information relating to each device is provided:
• Description of the measure
• Photograph and/or schematic
• List of advantages and disadvantages
• Data sheet indicating speed, volume, or collision reduction potential • Estimated costs
Cost approximations are based on 2006 costs and are provided for information purposes only. Actual costs depend on many factors, including dimensions of device, construction materials, and actual construction costs.
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 17
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
NON-PHYSICAL DEVICES
Description
Non-physical devices include any measures that do not require physical changes to the pavement section or curbs. Non-physical devices are intended to increase drivers’ awareness of surroundings and influence driver behavior without physical obstructions. DES staff will initially implement non-physical devices to treat traffic related concerns. However, these devices are not self enforcing and may have limited effectiveness as standalone devices. This category includes the following devices:
• Targeted Speed Enforcement
• Speed Radar Trailers
• Speed Feedback Sign
• Centerline/Edgeline Lane Striping
• Optical Speed Bars
• Signage
• Speed Legend
• Centerline/Edgeline Reflectors
• High Visibility Crosswalks
• Angled Parking
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 18
Targeted Speed Enforcement
City Staff or NTC members can identify locations for temporary targeted enforcement, based on personal observations and survey comments. A request can be submitted to the Salinas Police Department (SPD) for the desired enforcement. Because of limited SPD resources, the duration of the targeted enforcement may be limited. Targeted enforcement
may also be used in conjunction
with new neighborhood traffic
management devices to help
drivers become aware of the
new restrictions.
Advantages
• Inexpensive if used
temporarily
• Does not physically slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
• Quick implementation
Disadvantages
• Expensive to maintain
an increased level of
enforcement
• Effectiveness may be
temporary Approximate Cost: No additional cost.
Speed Radar Trailers
A radar trailer is a device that measures each approaching vehicle’s speed and displays it next to the legal speed limit in clear view of the driver. They can be easily placed on a street for a limited amount of time then relocated to another street, allowing a single device to be effective in many locations. Advantages • Portable
• Does not physically slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
• Quick implementation
Disadvantages
• Effectiveness may be
temporary
• Drivers may divert to
alternate streets due to
uncertainty of device
implications
• Subject to vandalism
Approximate Cost: No direct cost. (Purchase $6,000 - $12,000) City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 19
Speed Feedback Signs
Speed feedback signs perform the same functions as radar trailers but are permanent. Real-time speeds are relayed to drivers and flash when speeds exceed the limit. Speed feedback signs are typically mounted on or near speed limit signs. • Subject to vandalism
• Long-term effectiveness
uncertain
• Only effective for one
direction of travel
• May require power
source
Disadvantages
• Permanent installation
• Does not physically slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
• Real-time speed
feedback
Advantages
Approximate Cost: $7,500 - $10,000
Centerline/Edgeline Lane Striping
Lane striping can be used to create formal travel lanes, bicycle lanes, parking lanes, or edge lines. As a neighborhood traffic management measure, they are used to narrow the travel lanes for vehicles, thereby inducing drivers to lower their speeds. The past evidence on speed reductions is, however, inconclusive. • Requires regular
maintenance
• Has not been shown to
significantly reduce
travel speeds
Disadvantages
• Does not slow
emergency vehicles
• Can be used to create
bicycle lanes or
delineate on-street
parking
• Inexpensive
Advantages
Approximate Cost: $2.00 per linear foot
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 20
Optical Speed Bars
Optical speed bars are a series of pavement markings spaced at decreasing distances. They have typically been used in construction areas to provide drivers with the impression of increased speed. They do not provide long-term speed reduction benefits.
Disadvantages
• Long-term effects in
residential area
unknown
• Increases regular
maintenance
Advantages
• Inexpensive
• Does not physically slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
Approximate Cost: $1.00 per linear foot
Signage
Various signs may also be useful in alerting driver of certain conditions.
Examples include:
• Inexpensive
• Truck restrictions can
reduce through truck
traffic
• Does not slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
Disadvantages
• Requires regular
maintenance
• Speed limit signs are not
applicable because they
do not necessarily
change driver behavior
• If speed limits are set
unreasonably low,
drivers are more likely
to exceed it
Advantages
• “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” Signs
• Truck Restriction Signs
Approximate Cost: $150 - $500 per sign
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 21
Speed Legend
Speed legends are numerals painted on the roadway indicating the current speed limit in miles per hour. They are usually placed near speed limit signposts. Speed legends can be useful in reinforcing a reduction in speed limit between one segment of a roadway and another segment.
They may also be placed at major entry points into a residential area.
Approximate Cost: $75 per location
Centerline/Edgeline Reflectors
Reflectors (also known as Botts dots or “raised pavement markers”) are small bumps lining the centerline or edgeline of a roadway. They are often used on curves where vehicles have a tendency to deviate outside of the proper lane, risking collision. Raised reflectors improve the nighttime visibility of the roadway edges and provide a low impact physical reminder to drivers if driven over.
• Helps reinforce a
change in speed limit
• Does not slow
emergency vehicles
Disadvantages
• Has not been shown to
significantly reduce
travel speeds
• Requires regular
maintenance
Advantages
• Inexpensive
• Does not physically slow
emergency vehicles or
buses
• Can help keep drivers in
the appropriate travel
lane on curves and
under low-visibility
conditions
Disadvantages
• Noise caused by tire
impact
• Requires regular
maintenance
• Has not been shown to
significantly reduce
travel speeds
Advantages
• Inexpensive
Approximate Cost: $4.50 per marker
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 22
High Visibility Crosswalks
High-visibility crosswalks use special marking patterns and raised reflectors to increase the visibility of a crosswalk. A “triple-four” marking pattern is created by painting two rows of four-foot wide rectangles, separated by four feet of unpainted space across the roadway. Raised reflectors are placed at the approach edges of these rectangles. The unpainted space along the center of the crosswalk provides an untreated path for wheelchair users and foot traffic, as markings may become slippery in rainy/wet conditions. See Appendix C for the City of Salinas Pedestrian Safety
Enhancement Devices
Policy, which
describes the City
accepted standards of
high visibility crosswalks in school zones.
Approximate Cost: $1,600 per location
Angled Parking
Angled parking reorients on-street parking spaces to a 45-degree angle, increasing the number of parking spaces and reducing the width of the roadway available for travel lanes. Angled parking is also easier for vehicles to maneuver into and out of than parallel parking.
Consequently, it
works well in
areas with high
parking demand
and turnover
rates, and where
street widths are
wider than normal
50 foot or greater
cross-sections.
• Requires more
maintenance than
normal crosswalks
Advantages
• Reduces speeds by
narrowing the travel lanes
• Increases the number of
parking spaces
• Provides for easier parking
maneuvers that take less
time than parallel parking
• Favored by businesses and
multi-family residences
Disadvantages
• Precludes the use of bike
lanes (unless roadway is
wider than 58 feet)
• Ineffective on streets with
frequent driveways
• Potential for collisions when
backing out
Advantages
• Increased visibility of
crosswalk
• Focus crossing
pedestrians at a single
location
Disadvantages
• May give pedestrians a
false sense of security,
causing them to pay less
attention to traffic
Approximate Cost: Dependent on amount of parking

SPEED CONTROL – NARROWING DEVICES
Description
Narrowing devices use raised islands and curb extensions to physically narrow the travel lane for motorists.
The narrowing devices in the toolbox include:
• Neckdown/Bulbout
• Center Island Narrowing/Pedestrian Refuge
• Two-Lane Choker
• One-Lane Choker
Each narrowing device is illustrated and described on the following pages.
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 24
Neckdown/Bulbout
Neckdowns/bulbouts are raised curb extensions that narrow the travel lane at intersections or midblock locations. Neckdowns/bulbouts “pedestrianize” intersections by shortening the crossing distance and decreasing the curb radii, thus reducing turning vehicle speeds. Both of these effects increase pedestrian comfort and safety at the intersection.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of neckdowns between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56).
On average, neckdowns achieve a 7 percent reduction in speeds.
Approximate Cost: $6,000 – $12,000 per corner
Measured Effectiveness
Speed Reduction Reduction in 85th Percentile Speeds between Slow Points -7% Volume Reduction Reduction in Vehicles per Day -10%

City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 25
Center Island Narrowing/Pedestrian Refuge
Center island narrowings are raised islands located along the centerline of a street that narrow the travel lanes at that location. Placed at the entrance to a neighborhood, and often combined with textured pavement, they are often called “gateways." Fitted with a gap to allow pedestrians to walk through at a crosswalk, they are often called “pedestrian refuges.” They can also be landscaped to increase visual aesthetics.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of center island narrowings between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). On average, center island narrowings achieve a 7 percent reduction in speed.
Approximate Cost: $10,000 - $15,000 per location
Measured Effectiveness

Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 26
Two-Lane Choker
Chokers are curb extensions at midblock that narrow a street. Chokers leave the street cross section with two lanes that are narrower than the normal cross section.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of twolane chokers between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). On average two-lane chokers achieve a 7 percent reduction in speed.
Approximate Cost: $7,000 - $8,000 per location
Measured Effectiveness

One-Lane Choker
One-lane chokers narrow the roadway width such that there is only enough width to allow travel in one direction at a time. They operate similarly to one-lane bridges, where cars approaching on one side must wait until all traffic in the other direction has cleared before proceeding.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of onelane chokers between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56).
On average, one-lane chokers achieve a 14 percent reduction in speed.
Approximate Cost: $8,000 - $9,000 per location

SPEED CONTROL – HORIZONTAL DEVICES
Description
Horizontal deflection devices use raised islands and curb extensions to physically eliminate straight-line paths along roadways and through intersections. The horizontal deflection devices in the toolbox include:
• Traffic Circle
• Roundabout (Single-Lane)
• Chicane
• Lateral Shift
• Realigned Intersection
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 29
Traffic Circle
Traffic circles are raised islands, placed in intersections, around which traffic circulates. Stop signs or yield signs can be used as traffic controls at the approaches of the traffic circle. Circles prevent drivers from speeding through intersections by impeding the straight-through movement and forcing drivers to slow down to yield. Depending upon the size of the intersection and circle, trucks may be permitted to turn left in front of the circle.

Circles prevent drivers from speeding through intersections by impeding the straight-through movement and forcing drivers to slow down to yield. Depending upon the size of the intersection and circle, trucks may be permitted to turn left in front of the circle.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of traffic circles between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). On average, traffic circles achieve an 11 percent reduction in speeds and a dramatic 71 percent decrease in collisions.

Roundabout (Single-Lane)
Like traffic circles, roundabouts require traffic to circulate counterclockwise around a center island. But unlike circles, roundabouts are used on higher volume streets to allocate right-of-way among competing movements. They are found primarily on collector streets, often substituting for traffic signals. They are larger than neighborhood traffic circles, have raised splitter islands to channel approaching traffic to the right, and do not have stop signs. Due to large amount of required right-of-way and construction costs, roundabouts may be most appropriate for new developments.
Roundabouts have an insignificant effect in reducing traffic speeds, but serve to allocate right-of-way at an intersection similar to a traffic signal.
On average, roundabouts can reduce the average number of accidents up to 33 percent when compared to a signalized intersection.
Approximate Cost: Varies by intersection and whether new construction or a retrofit.

Chicane
Chicanes are curb extensions that alternate from one side of the street to the other, forming S-shaped curves. Chicanes can also be created by alternating on-street parking between one side of the road and the other.
Each parking bay can be created either by restriping the roadway or by installing raised center islands at each end, creating a protected parking area. Chicanes have limited effectiveness in reducing traffic speeds and volumes as compared to other devices. Little data has been collected to predict the reduction in speed, traffic volumes, or collisions, and use of this device may not result in significant decreases. Resources permitting, DES staff can collect before and after data to determine the effectiveness of chicanes.

Lateral Shift
Lateral shifts are curb extensions on otherwise straight streets that cause a shift in the travel. Lateral shifts, with just the right degree of deflection, can be effective. However, lateral shifts have had limited use in the United States, and, consequently, insufficient data prevents accurate prediction of speed reduction and traffic volumes.

Realigned Intersection
Realigned intersections provide deflection on an otherwise straight approach of a T-intersection. By providing deflection in the form of a curb extension or realignment, drivers are required to slow through the intersection or come to a stop before turning.
Little data has been collected to predict the reduction in speed, traffic volumes, or collisions, and use of this device may not result in significant decreases. Resources permitting, DES staff can collect before and after data to determine the effectiveness of realigned intersections.

SPEED CONTROL – VERTICAL DEVICES
Description
Vertical deflection devices use variations in pavement height and alternative paving materials to physically reduce travel speeds. The design speeds for these devices are approximately 15 to 20 mph depending on the device. The vertical deflection devices in the toolbox include:
• Speed Hump
• Speed Lump
• Speed Cushion
• Speed Table
• Raised Crosswalk
• Raised Intersection
• Textured/Colored Pavement
• Rumble Strip
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 35
Speed Hump
Speed humps are rounded raised areas placed across the road. They are generally 12 feet long (in the direction of travel), 3 to 3 ½ inches high, parabolic in shape, and have a design speed of 15 to 20 mph. They are usually constructed with a taper on each side to allow unimpeded drainage between the hump and curb. When placed on a street with rolled curbs or no curbs, bollards are placed at the ends of the speed hump to discourage vehicles from veering outside of the travel lane to avoid the device.
The magnitude of reduction in speed is dependent on the spacing of speed humps between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56).
On average, speed humps achieve a 22 percent reduction in speeds.
Approximate Cost: $2,000 - $3,000 per location

Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 36
Speed Lump
The speed lump is a variation on the speed hump, adding two wheel cutouts designed to allow large vehicles, such as emergency vehicles and buses, to pass with minimal impedance. The design limits passenger cars and most SUVs from fully passing through the cut-outs, but allows one set of wheels to pass through the cut-out while the other set is required to travel over the lump.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of speed lumps between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). Speed lumps have a similar reduction in speeds when compared to speed humps.

Speed Cushion
Speed cushions are constructed from durable recycled rubber and are a variation of the speed lump. These prefabricated devices consistently have a more uniform shape than asphalt humps. Speed cushions provide wheel gaps for emergency vehicles and buses, and can be arranged to fit any street width. They can also be easily relocated if needed.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of speed cushions between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). On average, speed cushions achieve a 14 percent reduction in speeds.

Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 38
Speed Table
Speed tables are flat-topped speed humps approximately 22 feet long. They are typically long enough for the entire wheelbase of a passenger car to rest on top. Their long, flat fields, plus ramps that are more gently sloped than speed humps, give speed tables higher design speeds than humps, and, thus, may be more appropriate for streets with higher ambient speeds. Brick or other textured materials improve the appearance of speed tables, draw attention to them, and may enhance safety and speed reduction.
The magnitude of speed reduction is dependent on the spacing of speed tables between points that require drivers to slow (see page 56). On average, speed tables achieve an 18 percent reduction in speeds.

Raised crosswalks are speed tables striped with crosswalk markings and signage to channelize pedestrian crossings, providing pedestrians with a level street crossing. Also, by raising the level of the crossing, pedestrians are more visible to approaching motorists.

Raised Intersection
Raised intersections are flat raised areas covering entire intersections, with ramps on all approaches. They usually rise to sidewalk level, or slightly below, to provide a “lip” for the visually impaired. By modifying the level of the intersection, the crosswalks are more readily perceived by motorists to be a pedestrian area. They are particularly useful where loss of on-street parking due to other traffic calming devices is considered unacceptable. Raised intersections are ineffective at reducing traffic speeds or volumes.

Textured/Colored Pavement
Textured colored pavement includes the use of stamped pavement (asphalt) or alternate paving materials to create an uneven surface for vehicles to traverse. Textured pavement may have limited effectiveness as a standalone device and should be used to supplement other devices such as raised crosswalks or center median islands. Little data has been collected to predict the reduction in speed, traffic volumes, or collisions, and use of this device may not result in significant decreases. Resources permitting, DES staff can collect before and after data to determine the effectiveness of textured pavement.

Rumble Strip
Rumble strips are closely spaced raised pavement markers at regular intervals on the roadway that create noise and vibration to the vehicle. Rumble strips can be used to warn drivers of a change in speed limit, leading up to a residential or school area, and upcoming stop sign or intersection. Rumble strips should be used only in areas where the noise impact would be minimal. Little data has been collected to predict the reduction in speed, traffic volumes, or collisions, and use of this device may not result in significant decreases.

Description
Diversion devices use raised islands and curb extensions to physically preclude particular vehicle movements, such as left-turn or through movements, usually at an intersection. These devices can be considered only after all other devices have been attempted and failed to resolve the traffic problem. The diversion devices in the toolbox include:

• Partial Closure
• Diagonal Diverter
• Median Barrier
• Forced Turn Island
• Turn-Movement Restriction
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 3 – Toolbox Page 44
Full Closure
Full street closures are barriers placed across a street to close the street completely to through traffic, usually leaving only sidewalks or bicycle paths open. The barriers may consist of landscaped islands, walls, gates, side-by-side bollards, or any other obstructions that leave an opening smaller than the width of a passenger car. Emergency vehicles can be accommodated via removable bollards or similar devices.

4. TOOLBOX GUIDELINES
This section provides guidance on selecting the most appropriate neighborhood traffic management measure for a specific problem. This involves narrowing the toolbox of neighborhood traffic management measures to those that will most closely target the key traffic issue; are appropriate for the existing street characteristics; and are compatible with the traffic volumes, geometrics, and adjacent land uses near the given location.
When the list has been narrowed, devices should be considered that are likely supported by affected residents. Finally, the selected devices need to be placed in a manner that will produce the desired results.
GUIDELINES
Step 1 – Identify Traffic Related Concern
The first task when selecting the most appropriate traffic calming device is to narrow the field of devices to those that address the primary traffic concern. The most common traffic related concerns are:
• Speeding – motor vehicle speeds are too high
• Traffic Volumes – motor vehicle usage levels (all trips or non-local trips only) are too high • Safety – locations with higher occurrences of collisions, higher concentrations of bicyclists and pedestrians, or potential hazards (e.g., sight distance limitations) Each device in the toolbox is appropriate to a different subset of the above traffic-related concerns. Table 1 summarizes the appropriateness of each device.
Non-Physical Measures
The first solutions to consider should be non-physical measures, such as signs and markings, since these can devices increase driver awareness, are relatively inexpensive, and are the least intrusive to residents.
Speed Control Measures
Speed control measures can address any of the major problem types:
• Narrowing Measures – Narrowing devices, such as neckdowns, center island narrowings, or chokers, are less obtrusive than other devices and can be more aesthetically pleasing if residents opt to fund upgraded landscaping and assume the maintenance cost and responsibilities. • Horizontal Measures – Horizontal deflection devices, such as chicanes and traffic circles, are more intrusive but also more effective than narrowings because they force vehicles to navigate horizontally around physical objects. Residents can also elect to fund upgraded landscaping. • Vertical Measures – Vertical deflection devices provide the greatest speed reduction, and consequently have the greatest potential to slow emergency response vehicles, buses, and trucks.
Therefore, the placement of these devices should be carefully considered, especially to limit any potential impact on emergency vehicles or transit access.
Chapter 4 – Toolbox Guidelines Page 51
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Volume Control Measures
If speed-control measures fail to produce desired results, then diversion measures, such as street closures or forced turns may be considered. These devices redirect traffic to an adjacent street, and, therefore, should be considered after all other measures fail to produce the desired results. Volume control measures limit through traffic or turning movements at specific locations for both residents and non-residents. The full effect of the traffic diversion should be investigated before device implementation.
Step 2 – Identify Location Type
The appropriate device for a given problem is a function of the location (midblock or at an intersection).
Special consideration will be given to streets used by the City of Salinas Fire Department or ambulance services as primary emergency response routes. Appendix D presents the City of Salinas Primary Fire Response routes with functional roadway classifications. Generally, traffic calming of emergency response routes is limited to non-physical treatments on major arterials; however, there are certain conditions for which traffic calming measures may be appropriate on emergency response routes classified as minor arterials and collectors.
Table 2 indicates the location(s) where each type of traffic calming measure is applicable.
Step 3 – Consider Street Classification, Location, and Other Constraints The third step in determining the most appropriate device is to consider how each device is compatible with the street classification, traffic volumes, posted speeds, and special roadway users. Table 3 illustrates where each device is appropriate with certain constraints.
EFFECTIVENESS COMPARISON
When more than one traffic calming device is available, decision-makers should understand the levels of effectiveness for each device to better determine which device will have the greatest effect in meeting the specified objective(s). Table 4 summarizes the effectiveness data (including excluded devices) that have been compiled for each of the neighborhood traffic management measures in the toolbox. These data are averages and the actual effectiveness will vary based on site-specific circumstances, such as proximity to major roads and the availability of alternate routes.
PLACING THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURES
Strategies for the specific placement of devices differ depending on whether the concern is speed-control, volume-control, or safety related. The placement of devices is described below.
Placing Speed-Control Measures
Where feasible, neighborhood traffic management measures should be spaced in such a way to achieve the following two design speeds:
• Slow-Point 85th Percentile Design Speed: the speed that 85 percent of vehicles are traveling less than, when they are crossing a neighborhood traffic management device; the target slow-point speed is defined as 5 mph below the posted speed limit.
• Midpoint 85th Percentile Design Speed: the speed that 85 percent of vehicles are traveling less than, when they are halfway between a traffic calming device or other roadway feature that requires Chapter 4 – Toolbox Guidelines Page 52
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
significant slowing (e.g., stop sign or curve). The target midpoint speed is defined as 5 mph above the posted speed limit.
Figure 3 illustrates how to estimate the midpoint speed.

Figure 3 Estimating Midpoint Speed
In mathematical terms, the following exponential function gives the relationship between midpoint speed and spacing of slow points:
85th
midpoint (mph) = 85thslow point (mph) + (85thstreet (mph) –85thslow point (mph)) * 0.56 * (1 – e –0.004 * spacing (ft.)) where;
85th
midpoint = resulting 85th percentile speed at midpoint after treatment; 85th
slow point = estimated 85th percentile speed at the slow point after treatment; 85th
street = 85th percentile speed of street before treatment; spacing = distance in feet between two devices.
When placing speed-control measures, use the above formula to test proposed spacings to determine whether the estimated midpoint speeds would meet the targeted midpoint speed.
Example (speed humps on street with starting speed of 32 mph):
Where spacing is 350 feet:
85th
midpoint (mph) = 15 mph + ((32 mph – 15 mph) * 0.56 * (1 – e –0.004 * 350 feet)) 85th
midpoint (mph) = 22 mph
Where spacing is 750 feet:
85th
midpoint (mph) = 15 mph + ((32 mph – 15 mph) * 0.56 * (1 – e –0.004 * 750 feet)) 85th
midpoint (mph) = 24 mph
The spacing of neighborhood traffic management measures directly affects the midpoint speeds: the farther apart they are, the higher the midpoint speed. In general, speed control measures placed 350 to 750 feet from another slow-point can result in speed reductions similar to those indicated in Table 4. Measures placed at intervals of less that 350 feet can become a nuisance to drivers, and measures placed greater than 750 feet apart decrease the ability to slow speeds to the target midpoint speed. In addition, vertical measures should be place a minimum of 250 feet from an adjacent intersection.
Placing Volume-Control Measures
Neighborhood traffic management devices intended to divert traffic can be located either external or internal to the neighborhood.
• Gateway Measures – Volume-control measures placed at entrances or gateways to neighborhoods can be more effective in reducing volumes because drivers encounter these devices upon entering a neighborhood, which may deter future use. However, these measures can also cause local traffic to take more circuitous paths than internal measures would. • Internal Measures – When placed within a neighborhood, measures have a less direct effect on nonlocal traffic. First-time attempts to travel through the neighborhood will occur more frequently, and drivers will seek alternative routes within the neighborhood. However, this type of placement can cause less of an inconvenience to local traffic.
Chapter 4 – Toolbox Guidelines Page 58
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Placing Safety Measures
The placement of safety-oriented neighborhood traffic management devices is dependent on the particulars of the traffic-related concern and on the characteristics of the selected neighborhood traffic management device.
For example, if the traffic related concern involves pedestrian safety, then the solution – a raised crosswalk, for example – should be placed at a location where it is likely to be heavily used by pedestrians.
Chapter 5 – New Development Guidelines Page 59
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
5. NEW DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
Proposed developments can benefit from neighborhood traffic management strategies. Developers can anticipate and prevent concerns about speeding and traffic volumes by reviewing neighborhood plans and proposing refinements to reduce or avoid future traffic-related concerns. In addition, neighborhood traffic management measures incorporated with project construction often receive greater acceptance than a retrofit approach. Traffic calming measures can be included as off-site mitigation measures for infill or redevelopment projects that are surrounded by existing developments that may be impacted by project traffic.
This information in this chapter is a tool for staff and project designers to identify potential problem areas and suggested remedies. Anticipating future problems and remedies is a subjective activity, not conducive to absolute standards. However, it may be appropriate to incorporate general language into City documents regarding the role of staff in identifying potential neighborhood traffic problems and suggesting remedies.
In most cases, staff and the developer’s representatives should be able to identify mutually acceptable neighborhood traffic management features, which are then incorporated into the proposed plans. However, in some cases, staff may need to develop conditions-of-approval that can be discussed, modified, and/or approved by the relevant governing bodies.
SUGGESTED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS
As part of the City of Salinas development review process, City staff may consider the need for neighborhood traffic management measures within the proposed development or off-site. New development and redevelopment projects may be required to design, build, and maintain traffic calming features as part of the development project through the subdivision improvement agreement, development agreement, homeowners’ association, and other development-related mechanisms.
The City’s process of reviewing new residential subdivisions varies and is dependent on the decision type.
Information contained in the development application determines the permit type and subsequent process.
Although the processes differ, they all require staff review after the submission of the plans. At this point, City staff may recommend or condition the inclusion of traffic calming measures.
The toolbox and application guidelines contained in other sections of this document should provide staff and developer representatives with both ideas and guidance on selecting the most appropriate treatments for the identified problem.
The following flowchart is a suggested approach for City staff during the development review process.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PRACTICES
During the development review process, staff should review the street network and intersection traffic controls to determine areas of potential speeding, excessive volume on residential streets, or pedestrian conflict areas. Where appropriate, developers should be required to incorporate traffic calming measures into their development plan. The process for reviewing street and lot plans for new developments and prescribing refinements may include the following, at staff discretion:
• Traffic Volumes – Estimate the average daily traffic (ADT) on residential roadways within and surrounding the proposed project.
− If traffic volumes on residential streets are projected to be less than 1,500 vehicles per day (vpd), then no action is needed, nor will it be taken.
− If the projected traffic volume on a residential street is 1,500 - 3,000 vpd, then consider traffic calming treatments depending upon the context (such as area history, resident expectations, or magnitude of change).
− For projected volumes of above 3,000 vpd on a residential street, consider as a priority incorporate traffic calming measures to lessen the impact. • Traffic Speeds – Identify potential speeding concerns on new streets and adjacent existing streets.
Potential problem areas may include:
− Streets with unimpeded block lengths (i.e. slow points) greater than 600 feet between traffic control or traffic calming devices, or as determined by staff. − Areas where roadway grades may increase the potential for speeding, as determined by staff. − Areas with potential pedestrian/vehicle conflicts, such as schools, parks, or community centers. − Areas with design attributes that encourage speeding, such as wide travel lane width, absence of on-street parking lane, absence of a bike lane, and long block lengths. • Street Layout – Staff may request street design and layout modifications if an area is likely to experience cut-through traffic.
• Adjacent Neighborhoods – Consider traffic calming measures in new developments where adjacent neighborhoods include traffic calming, as determined by staff. • Traffic Calming Plan – Based on the size and nature of the proposed development, staff will determine if a traffic calming plan is necessary. As described above, a traffic calming plan should be developed when the proposed street layout cannot be modified in such a way that will eliminate foreseeable traffic problems. The applicant’s representative should develop the traffic calming plan with DES oversight.
DESIGNING STREET NETWORKS
Neighborhood traffic management measures have traditionally been installed as retrofit measures in existing neighborhoods in response to a particular traffic concern. The guidelines below describe some common street design features and their propensity to lead to neighborhood traffic management concerns such as speeding and cut-through traffic. The guidelines should assist developers in laying out streets in new residential developments and staff in reviewing them pursuant to the process described above. This chapter Chapter 5 – New Development Guidelines Page 62
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
is by no means comprehensive on the layout of new residential streets. For detailed information on street design and layout, refer to the following City of Salinas documents:
• City of Salinas General Plan, September 2002
• City of Salinas City Code – Section 31-804.5, November 2006 • Standard Specifications, Design Standards, and Standard Plans – Standard Plan No. 3, 2004 The following documents provide supplemental readings on the subject of designing residential streets.
These are guidance documents only:
• Residential Street Design and Traffic Control, Homburger, Deakin, Bosselmann, Smith, and Beukers (Institute of Transportation Engineers), 1989
• Residential Streets, 3rd Edition, American Society of Civil Engineers, Institute of Transportation Engineers, National Association of Home Builders, and the Urban Land Institute, 2001 • Traditional Neighborhood Development: Street Design Guidelines, Institute of Transportation Engineers, 1999
DESIGNING FOR APPROPRIATE SPEEDS
The design of residential streets can often influence vehicles speeds. Residential streets that are wide, long, straight, and have few uninterrupted blocks have been shown to have a positive correlation to higher vehicle speeds. To minimize vehicle speeds, consider the following attributes when designing residential streets:
• Travel Lane Width – Current City standards for street width varies depending on the adjacent land use, and presence of on-street parking. Figures C-1 through C-4 of the Salinas General Plan specify standard cross-sections for new and existing streets. Provisions for on-street parking are also provided within these standards. Figure 5 shows a positive correlation between pavement width and increased traffic speeds.3
New streets should not exceed the current City standards. However, if additional width is provided in anticipation of high on-street parking demand, the roadway should be treated with appropriately spaced chokers, center median islands or other neighborhood traffic calming devices. • Block Length – Some street networks leave excessively long blocks with few side street intersections. Drivers who travel distances 600 feet or greater, as illustrated in the chart below, without being required to slow or stop by traffic control or neighborhood traffic management devices, tend to travel at speeds higher than the posted limit. To minimize this effect, the street network can be designed such that street blocks are frequently interrupted by streets of sufficient traffic volumes to warrant a traffic control device (e.g., stop sign) or a traffic calming device. Shorter block lengths also facilitate pedestrian movement throughout the neighborhood. The chart shows the correlation between unimpeded block length and travel speed.
Acceptable block lengths for urban local streets should not exceed 600-800 feet, while urban collector street block lengths should not exceed 1,000 feet.

City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Chapter 5 – New Development Guidelines Page 63
• Parking Lanes – In circumstances where adjacent land uses generate low on-street parking demand (such as large-lot subdivisions or collectors without fronting uses) the street can function as if it were wider than intended. If the parking demand can be accommodated elsewhere, the parking lanes should be eliminated or restricted to one side of the street and the street width reduced accordingly.
Figure 5 Correlation Between Pavement Width, Unimpeded Street Length and Speed
DESIGNING FOR LOCAL TRAFFIC
Some residential collector streets can become cut-through routes, or routes used by non-local motorists as a means of bypassing congested or circuitous arterial roads. In these cases, the residential collector should be modified in one of two ways:
• The collector can be designed with a deviating path so that the overall distance by collector is greater than the distance by arterial.
• The residential roadway network can be designed such that traffic-controlled intersections interrupt the parallel collector route sufficiently that the travel time by collector is greater than the travel time by arterial.
PEDESTRIAN/VEHICLE CONFLICT AREAS
Some elements of residential areas, such as schools, parks, community centers, or other high pedestrian generators, have particularly high potential for vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. The major pedestrian routes to school should be identified and traffic controls should be structured so that the number of crossings at uncontrolled cross-streets is minimized and pedestrians are directed to the most appropriate crossing locations. For both schools and parks, entrances tend to focus pedestrian street crossings at particular locations. These entrances can be made safer by combining them with roadway intersections, so that the intersection’s traffic control can also allocate right-of-way to pedestrians.
If a pedestrian-oriented land use is located in an area where speeding or high traffic volumes are unavoidable, then select neighborhood traffic management measures that accommodate and provide benefit to pedestrians. For example, at an intersection, bulbouts or center island narrowings should be given some preference over other measures, such as intersection realignment or speed humps. While a realigned intersection or speed hump may slow traffic in the area, a bulbout or center island narrowing assists Chapter 5 – New Development Guidelines Page 64
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
pedestrians by creating a shorter crossing distance and physical roadway narrowing, thereby reducing driver speed.
DEVELOPING A NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
When a proposed street layout cannot be modified in such a way that will eliminate foreseeable potential traffic problems, the City should require preparation of a neighborhood traffic management plan (NTMP).
Follow the procedure for developing an NTMP as described in the Toolbox Chapter, with the following exceptions:
• For speed-related problems, existing travel speed data will not be available. Consequently, a response to anticipated speeding problems must rely on roadway geometry. For example, if a block length is greater than 600 feet, then the developer could use neighborhood traffic management measures to divide the block into segments that are each shorter than 600 feet. • For volume-related problems, traffic volume data will be available only in the form of traffic forecasts, and these will typically be limited to the major roads. The City or developer may need to prepare manual traffic volume estimates using land use quantities and trip generation rates for the proposed development.
• Anticipated safety problems will likely revolve around land uses that generate pedestrian activity, such as schools, parks, and community centers. For these land uses, consider the planned locations of walkways, gates, and building entrances when placing neighborhood traffic management devices (such as raised crosswalks or bulb-outs). Likewise, land use planning should consider existing and future traffic safety features.
• For some neighborhood traffic management measures, particularly those involving modified curbs, the developer can achieve significant cost-savings by constructing them concurrent with roadway construction. Consequently, when selecting a type of neighborhood traffic management measure, additional preference should be given to measures that take advantage of these cost-savings.

Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 1
APPENDIX A – DESIGN GUIDELINES
This section describes the guiding design principles relating to various physical traffic calming devices. The design guidelines are based on recommended designs published in Traffic Calming State-of-the Practice4 and Canadian Guide to Traffic Calming5
. Appendix B contains standard engineering design templates for the most common traffic calming devices.
SPEED CONTROL – VERTICAL MEASURES
Ramp Profiles
Ramp profile describes the angle or approach of the vertical measure that a vehicle would traverse. Vertical measures (e.g., speed humps) should use Parabolic profiles on the approach and departure ramps to the device. Parabolic profiles have consistently been used in other programs around the nation and are a recommended design according to Institute of Transportation Engineers: Guidelines for the Design & Application of Speed Humps (ITE, 1993). Figure A-1 shows three commonly used profiles, and a description of each follows below:
• Sinusoidal profiles have slightly less reduction effects on speed than circular and parabolic profiles but higher comfort levels for vehicles and bicyclists and are typically more difficult and expensive to construct due to the slope of the profile. • Circular profiles have moderate reduction effects on speeds (compared to the two other profiles) and comfort levels for vehicles and bicyclists.
• Parabolic profiles have the greatest reduction effects on speeds but have the lowest comfort levels for vehicles and bicyclists due to the greater rise in the slope of the profile.

City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 2
Edge Tapers
The edge taper refers to the transition area between a vertical measure at its full height and the edge of the device. Edge tapers on vertical measures (e.g., speed humps and excluding raised crosswalks) should extend to the edge of the pavement (i.e., not into the gutter) to prevent blocking the gutter drainage.
On streets without vertical curbs, the edge taper should extend the full length of the pavement width to discourage drivers from straddling or driving around the vertical measure. In addition, an advisory sign (or other barrier) should be placed on either approach of the vertical device to prevent drivers from driving around the device.
Example: Bollards and advisory
sign encourage drivers to travel
over speed hump.
Edge Tapers – Parking and Bikeways
Vertical devices should extend across any parking or bike lane to prevent drivers from veering into the bike lane. Consequently, bicyclists
will traverse the even section
(as opposed to the tapered
portion) of the device. In
addition, vehicles parking on
the street will have the option to
park on a portion of the device
or avoid the device entirely.
Example: Speed lump extends to the edge of pavement across bike lane.
Raised Crosswalk Tapers
Example: Unimpeded drainage.
Raised crosswalks should always be designed to a height equal to the curb height, but not fully extend to the curb, as this will impede drainage. To bridge the gap between the sidewalk and raised crosswalk, a metal connector plate or other approved device may be used to allow unimpeded flow of the gutter. The design should also include truncated dome plates to indicate the entrance to the crosswalk from the sidewalk. Raised crosswalks may not be appropriate where curbs do not exist.
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 3
HORIZONTAL DEFLECTION MEASURES
Traffic Circle Center Island Profile
Example: Vertical inner curb and mountable
apron.
Traffic circles should be designed with both a vertical inner curb and a mountable apron. The vertical inner curb prevents vehicles from driving over the circle. The apron is a shallowsloped curb extending out from the bottom of a vertical curb; the apron has a low lip at its pavement-side edge. This apron effectively reduces the diameter of the center island for large vehicles, facilitating easier turns. The lip at the apron’s edge discourages vehicles from using it unnecessarily.
Traffic Circle Turn Operations
All vehicles should circulate around the center island on leftturns. However, an exception can be made for large trucks and buses in some cases if geometric constraints require it. If a specific intersection has a high proportion of trucks and/or bus traffic, alternative treatments may provide similar results without impact to trucks or busses. All traffic circles should be designed using the appropriate truck turning templates from Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Caltrans, 2006). Software packages such as AutoCAD or AutoTURN may also be used
to identify whether emergency response vehicles and buses can maneuver around the circle.
Example: Truck turning radius using
mountable apron.
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 4
Traffic Circles at T-Intersections
Traffic circles should have deflection on all approaches if implemented at a T-intersection. This can be implemented in both existing neighborhoods in retrofit situations and in new neighborhood. First, a raised island can be placed at the right side of the un-deflected approach to the traffic circle to artificially introduce deflection, as shown in Figure A-2 (a). In new neighborhoods, the street curbs can be modified to allow the center island to be located at the center of the intersection, as shown in Figure A-2 (b).
Figure A-2 Traffic circles at T-Intersections
NARROWING MEASURES
Drainage
Narrowing measures, such as chokers, should be constructed to minimize or avoid blocking gutter flow, as illustrated in the photo. Modifying the drainage can be cost prohibitive and could require regular maintenance to clear debris from the modified gutter.
Example: Retrofit design with unimpeded
drainage.
(a) Existing Neighborhoods (b) New Neighborhoods
City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 5
Neckdowns/Bulbouts
Narrowing measures, such as neckdowns or chokers, should not be constructed wider than the approximate width of a parked vehicle. Extension of these devices any further than the width of a parked vehicle could present potential safety issues to other drivers.
LANDSCAPING Example: Neckdown at intersection.
The standard treatment for all neighborhood traffic management devices will be hardscape (i.e., grouted cobblestone). Residents may fund aesthetic upgrades to neighborhood traffic calming devices such as landscaping or stamped and colored concrete (i.e., simulated brick work). Aesthetics upgrades not only improve the aesthetic quality of the device but increase the visual presence of the device. Landscaping should be limited to low-lying shrubs and plants. Trees planted on center islands must allow adequate sight distances for motorists.
Example: Standard treatment Example: Upgraded aesthetics City of Salinas Neighborhood Traffic Management Program November 2008
Appendix A – Design Guidelines Page A - 6
SIGNAGE AND STRIPING
Signage
Signage should be provided at or near traffic calming devices advising motorists of the device. Signage should be visible to both motorists and bicyclists. The signs should be comprised mostly of symbols and be easily understandable to motorists. Figure A-3 illustrates examples of several common warning signs.
The warning sign for a traffic circle or roundabout shown on Figure A-3 should be the standard used at such intersections. The warning sign is clear and concise, showing drivers the route around and turning options of the upcoming traffic circle or roundabout.
Special signing specific to bicyclists may be used as determined by Public Works staff. Examples of this signing include advising motorists not to pass bicyclists through narrow traffic calming devices or informing bicyclists of proper maneuvering of devices. This signage should be used when the travel rights of bicyclists warrant emphasis.
Striping
Pavement markings assist in warning motorists and bicyclists of traffic calming devices in the roadway.
Vertical devices should always include pavement markings on the device and may also include advanced warning legends (see Figure C-6). In certain situations, vertical devices may be unmarked, such as revitalization or beautification plans in a given area. In such cases, the device must be designed to provide a clear contrast with the surrounding environment.
The example image to the right illustrates the preferred striping option for vertical devices, such as speed lumps. This marking option is compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (FHWA, 2003).
Example: Recommended striping.
COMBINED MEASURES
Some measures from the toolbox can be combined to increase the combined effect on traffic volumes and speeds. For example, a raised crosswalk may be combined with neckdowns, the effect being a crosswalk that is both shortened and raised above the level of the roadway. Motorists must then react to both a vertical deflection and a narrowing. In assessing the suitability of combined measures, the guidelines in Tables 1, 2, and 3 should be applied for both devices.

A standard device used where it is not appropriate is as objectionable as a nonstandard device; in fact, this may be worse, because such misuse might result in disrespect at those locations where the device is needed and appropriate.” To be consistent with appropriate use of traffic control devices and in response to increasing requests for traffic safety enhancements at school locations, the City has approved policy with criteria for when to install Pedestrian Safety Enhancements on City Streets. More specifically, this policy restricts the installation of these enhancements to specific locations at school zones only. The specific safety enhancement installations that are governed by this policy are:
1) High visibility crosswalks with an integrated Pedestrian LOOK pavement/sidewalk marking,
2) In-Street Pedestrian Crossing Sign
The City of Salinas is committed to the installation of the appropriate and the required traffic control devices on City Streets, including locations along school zones. However, the effectiveness of these and any traffic control device requires an appropriate amount of enforcement for violators of the control devices and appropriate education for users of these devices (motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists). Without appropriate enforcement and education, any installation of traffic control devices will not be as effective.
In response to budget constraints that prevent more frequent enforcement of traffic control devices at school zones, the City will consider the installation of traffic safety enhancements at school zones. This policy will provide the criteria for the use of a High Visibility Crosswalk and an integrated Pedestrian “LOOK” sign at school zones and the In-Street Pedestrian Crossing Sign. These enhancements supports pedestrian crossings at school zones.
I. Application. In order to receive consideration under this policy, an applicant must submit a written request to the City of Salinas Development and Engineering Services Department, ATTN: Traffic Section, 200 Lincoln Avenue, Salinas, California 93901. A letter from the School and the School District must accompany the request stating the school’s and the district’s concurrence with the request.
II. Consideration. Effective on the adoption of this policy, requests for High Visibility Crosswalks and the integrated Pedestrian LOOK Sign shall be subject to the following criteria:
1. School Zone Criteria. Said Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Devices will be located at an existing school crosswalk adjacent to the school property, and along the suggested route to school; and
2. No installations at Controlled Intersections. Said Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Devices shall not be installed at intersections where ALL WAY STOPS or a Traffic Signal is already present; and
3. Installation only on two lane streets. Said Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Devices shall only be installed on two-lane streets. (Existing studies support installation on two-lane streets but results are mixed on multi-lane streets. It is not clear if these crosswalks increase yielding of motor vehicles to pedestrians on multi-lane streets); and
4. School Pedestrian Warrant.
a) At least 40 school pedestrians are crossing the uncontrolled street during each of any two hours (not necessarily consecutive) of a normal school day; and b) The vehicle volume through the crossing exceeds 500 vehicles per hour during the same hour the students are going to and/or from school during normal school hours; or
c) The number of pedestrians that are crossing the uncontrolled street in 4.a multiplied by the vehicle volume through the crossing during the same hour students are going to and/or from school during normal school hours exceeds 32,000.
This Policy provides a technically-based and uniform process for the recommendation of the above Pedestrian Safety Enhancements. However, each location requested for high visibility crosswalk will have its unique characteristics that may not be addressed by these criteria.
Other criteria that may have to be considered include unique street configuration, sight visibility requirements, other heavy uses of the street that are not school related, and other equally important considerations.
The decision to use a particular traffic control device at a particular location should be made on the basis of either an engineering study or the application of engineering judgment. Thus while the MUTCD, the California Supplement or this Policy provides standards, guidance or options for design and application of a traffic control device, the MUTCD, California Supplement or this Policy should not be considered a substitute for sound engineering judgment.
At the City Engineer’s discretion, traffic studies may be conducted to examine other considerations not part of this Policy’s criteria. Results of these studies may become the basis to support or oppose recommendation resulting from previously considered criteria.
III. Commission Consideration City staff will bring its recommendation to the Traffic and Transportation Commission (T&TC). The meeting of the T&TC provides a public forum for the applicant or any impacted party to support or protest City staff’s recommendation. The Traffic and Transportation Commission may recommend approval or denial of the applicant’s request based on the criteria above for these Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Devices.
IV. Council Consideration. The City Council makes the final decision regarding the request for a school high visibility crosswalk. The meeting of the City Council provides another public forum to appeal decisions of the T&TC made following the application of this policy.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
DEPARTMENT: FINANCE
FROM: RENE MENDEZ, CITY MANAGER
JIM PIA, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SELINA ANDREWS, ACTING FINANCE DIRECTOR
TITLE: POTENTIAL ADDITIONAL FY 24-25 COMMUNITY
SPONSORSHIP FUNDING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Discuss and provide direction on the potential allocation of an additional $50,000 towards the FY 24-25 Community Sponsorship Program.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council has consistently demonstrated its support for community initiatives through various programs, one of which is the Community Sponsorship Program. On April 9, 2024, City Council adopted a new Community Sponsorship Policy outlining the funding limits, application requirements, review, and selection process. During adoption of the budget on June 11, 2024, several Council members inquired if there were additional available funds that could increase the Community Sponsorship Program beyond the adopted $150,000.
BACKGROUND:
At the above referenced meeting that took place in April, Council adopted the new Community Sponsorship Policy. The Community Sponsorship application period has since taken place and the allocated $150,000 was awarded through the newly developed process.
Recent discussions relating to the Monterey One Water Payment Assistance program could potentially provide an additional $50,000 for the Community Sponsorships Program. Staff has identified previously unallocated funds which could have been utilized to facilitate partnering with the Monterey One Water Assistance program. Since M1W did not move forward with the property tax roll item, these previously unallocated funds could be appropriated if that’s the Council direction.
Staff would like to receive direction from Council whether to increase the FY 24-25 Community Sponsorship Program budget by $50,000 or apply it to the General Fund Balance, which can be Page | 2
used to balance future budgets. Should the Council provide direction to add $50,000 to the Sponsorship Program budget, staff will bring back recommendations at the next Council meeting per the Community Sponsorship Policy.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This action is consistent with the City Council’s goal of supporting an effective and culturally responsive government. (City of Salinas Strategic Plan 2022-2025).
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
This staff report was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office, City Manager’s Office, and the Finance Department.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
Funding is available and appropriated in the FY 24-25 Budget.
ATTACHMENTS:
None

CITY OF SALINAS
CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 20, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS, AIRPORT DIVISION
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PE, LS, DIRECTOR
BY: MATT NELSON, AIRPORT MANAGER
TITLE: 2024 CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW PERMIT AT
THE SALINAS MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or their designee, to execute an Airport Use Permit for the 2024 California International Airshow, to be conducted by the Monterey County Airshow Association, Incorporated at the Salinas Municipal Airport, in accordance with the terms of said permit.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Monterey County Airshow Association, Incorporated (“Airshow Association”), desires to conduct the 2024 California International Airshow at the Salinas Airport. A permit is required for the Airshow Association to utilize the Airport, adjoining public streets, and facilities used in conducting of the 2024 California International Airshow.
BACKGROUND:
The 43
rd California International Airshow is scheduled to take place at the Salinas Municipal Airport on September 28 and 29, 2024. This year’s airshow will feature the United States Airforce Thunderbird Demonstration Team, the Patriots Jet Team, and several other aircraft acts and displays. The California International Airshow has been showcasing aviation excellence for over 41 years while at the same time raising over $9.5 million for local charities.
Utilizing all volunteers and service groups from the community, the organization each year plans and executes the event that entertains 25,000 to 30,000 spectators annually. The top military and civilian performers in the United States and Canada thrill and inspire the crowds. Over 90 static aircraft, exhibits, and displays are available for Airshow fans to enjoy during their experience. The goal each year is to produce an event that will be family-oriented, educational, and entertaining for the whole family. In addition to its main goal of raising money for charity, the airshow’s charter also emphasizes volunteerism and community involvement, family-oriented entertainment, aviation and its contributions to the American way of life, and pride in our nation and its military.
Page | 2
To most of Monterey County and the Central Coast, the California International Airshow represents a homegrown community event based in Salinas that is a spectacle of fun and entertainment. To the City of Salinas, it is an annual economic infusion of millions of dollars to the local economy. The airshow event planning process never ends; at the completion of each annual event, the event planners begin preparing for the next year’s event. The hosting of the Airshow is in the best interests of general aviation and the Airport, with the purposes of enhancing the Salinas community image, promoting public use of the Airport, and promoting revenue for local charitable organizations.
Permit:
The attached Permit is essentially the same as those approved in previous years but with minor modifications. The Permit requires a $10,000,000 Airmeet Liability Insurance Policy and includes authorization for various street closures and specific operational provisions. Typically, only one other City Permit, a Special Events Permit, is required for the event. Once completed, the Special Events Permit becomes the “Exhibit A” document referenced in the Airshow Permit. The Airport Use Permit is being presented to the Airport Commission for review without the Special Events Permit because 1) All Airport use issues are covered in the Airshow Permit and the Special Events Permit covers City Streets and facilities and therefore does not come under Airport Commission review; and, 2) Timing is such that the Airport Use Permit needs to advance through the Airport Commission in order to gain overall Permit approval prior to the Airshow.
In-Kind Contribution:
Airport staff recommends waiving the following:
$38,600 Permit Fee
$46,200 staff time estimate, not including overtime
$11,200 fire vehicles costs estimate
Salinas Pilot Association (SPA) Donation:
The Airshow Organization is continuing to honor the fundraising clause in the agreement for the Salinas Pilot Association (SPA). The Monterey County Airshow Association, Inc. will donate $2,500 (cash donation) to SPA for volunteer services rendered during the airshow period. In consideration of the $2,500 donation, SPA will provide various services during the air show.
City of Salinas Booth Space:
In consideration for waiving the Airport’s $38,600 Permit Fee, the Airshow Association has agreed to provide the City of Salinas, at no charge, three (3) Booth Spaces for promoting and enhancing the Airport and City of Salinas’ community outreach.
CEQA/NEPA CONSIDERATION:
The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project and therefore exempt as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
Page | 3
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
Approval of the 2024 California International Airshow permit complements Salinas City Council’s Economic Development and Public Safety 2024-2025 Strategic Goals and Strategies.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The estimated City contribution is anticipated to come from the General Funds (General Fund, Measure E, and Measure G) and the Airport Fund.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION
The Use Permit has been reviewed as to form by the City Attorney’s office. Public Works, Police Department, and Fire Department participate in the planning and execution of the Airshow.

CITY OF SALINAS
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: AUGUST 6, 2024
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, P.E., L.S., PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
THRU: ADRIANA ROBLES, P.E., C.F.M., CITY ENGINEER
BY: JONATHAN ESTEBAN, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
TITLE: REJECTION OF PROPOSALS FOR ENGINEERING AND
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE
DEMOLITION OF THE OLD POLICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution rejecting all proposals received for Engineering and Construction Management Services for the Demolition of the Old Police Department Building.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On, May 10, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals for Engineering and Construction Management Services for the Demolition of the Old Police Department Building. On June 3, 2024, the City received one proposal for an amount of $588,862. Based on the low number of bid proposals received and the significantly higher than anticipated pricing, staff recommends rejection of the proposal.
BACKGROUND:
The Old Police Department Building, located at 222 Lincoln Avenue, has been vacant since 2019, when the Police Department moved to their current location at 312 East Alisal Street. The approximately 21,000 square foot single story building has a 2,800 square foot basement. The City issued a request for proposals (RFP) for engineering and construction management services for the demolition of the Old Police Department Building. On June 3, 2024, the proposal opening was held. A single proposal was received from CSG Consultants, Inc. for a total cost of $588,862.
The cost of this proposal is considerably higher than anticipated. The City does not have sufficient funds available to award this contract. City staff recommends rejection of all bids received for Engineering and Construction Management Services for the Demolition of the Old Police Department Building.
City will instead develop the plans and specifications for the project in-house and proceed with bidding for construction demolition once funds become available.

CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This project addresses the current City Council’s Goals of “Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability” and “Effective and Culturally Responsive Government.” DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Public Works Department is collaborating with Legal, Administration and Finance Departments.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact anticipated with this proposed Council action.

TITLE: AMENDMENT TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SALINAS AND HARRIS
AND ASSOCIATES FOR THE INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER
PUMP STATION IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, CIP 9009
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution approving Amendment No. 2 with Harris and Associates for environmental consulting services to amend the scope of work, increasing the compensation by $29,720 for a revised not to exceed amount of $393,538, and extending the term to December 31, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 18, 2022, the City executed an agreement for $261,736 with Harris and Associates to perform design services for the Industrial Wastewater Pump Station Improvements (Resolution No. 22290). On August 8, 2023, through Resolution 22760 Council approved Amendment 1 to the professional services agreement for additional services and to extend the terms of the agreement.
As the design was being finalized, additional staff reviewed and provided comments to the design which required additional scope of work changes. The consultant continued work and provided construction documents. The project was bid on July 16, 2024, and additional assistance will be required from the consultant for construction. An amendment is required to extend the original contract time and to increase the total compensation to $393,538.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Salinas owns and operates an Industrial Wastewater Collection and Conveyance System (IWCCS) which takes agricultural process water from twenty-six (26) industrial users.
The system is comprised of network of piping, an industrial wastewater pump station (IWWPS), and the industrial waste treatment facility (IWTF). The IWWPS is located on Airport Boulevard in southeast Salinas and consists of a wet well and three underground pumps which convey industrial wastewater to the IWTF for processing. The City is conducting structural evaluation Page | 2
and facility upgrades that will ensure not only structural longevity of the pump station but also allow for increased flow capacity and redundancy.
On January 18, 2022, the City Council authorized an agreement for $261,736 with Harris and Associates to perform design services for the Industrial Wastewater Pump Station Improvements (Resolution No. 22290).
Over the course of preparing the preliminary design documents staff was made aware of certain tasks that are required that were not in the original scope of work. These included additional design of a proposed permanent standby generator, generator pad and vault structure; additional flow monitoring; additional hydraulic analysis; site surveying to identify existing easements; corrosion protection assessment; and costs associated with time extensions. On August 8, 2023, through Resolution 22760, Council approved Amendment 1 to the professional services agreement. The additional scope represented a net increase of $102,082 to the original agreement resulting it a total amount of compensation to be paid under the contract of $363,818.
As the plans were being finalized, new City staff assigned to the division reviewed and provided comments to the design that required additional changes to the construction documents. These changes required modification of the plans, cost estimate and specifications. Changes were made by the consultant but required additional effort. The additional scope for Amendment No. 2 represents a net increase of $29,720.
The project was bid on July 16, 2024, and additional assistance will be required during construction. The original contract expired on December 31, 2023. An amendment is required to amend and restate the agreement to increase the contract time to December 31, 2025, and to increase the total amount of compensation to $393,538.
