COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 27, 2025
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
TITLE: ACCEPTANCE OF THE CESAR CHAVEZ PARK DG PATH
PROJECT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution accepting the Cesar Chavez Park DG Path Project (“Project”, CIP No. 9361) for maintenance and responsibility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 13, 2023, the City Council awarded a contract to NR Development, Inc. for the Cesar Chavez Park DG (decomposed granite) Path improvements via Resolution No. 22693 for a contract amount of $602,500. Work began on August 28, 2023, and was substantially complete on December 5, 2023. There were no change orders on the project.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019 the Library and Community Services Department concluded a Parks, Recreation and Libraries Master Planning (PRLMP) effort which included a full assessment of our park, recreation, and library facilities. Following this assessment and th e community engagement process which included over two thousand community engagement touch points, our consultants proceeded to develop plan content, key project recommendations, implementation strategies and a capital investment plan. Based on this extens ive community engagement all our assets requiring capital improvements were ranked. Cesar Chavez is a top ranked park with a high overall priority score. The priority score includes community need, significance, funding leverage, safety/security, usage/benefits, and location/demographics.
The non-competitive grant made possible by the passage of the Proposition 68 - Per Capita Program was awarded to the City of Salinas in the amount of $177,952. The intent of the Prop 68 funded Per Capita Program was to create opportunities for high quality outdoor recreation and connect residents to parks in critically underserved communities across California.
The Cesar Chavez Trail Park project consisted of renovating the existing decomposed granite trail and adding to the trail to connect to Circle Drive. Bench and exercise pads w ere also installed Page | 2
along the trail. The Trail was designed to provide a loop for walking or running in addition to a possible future connection with a proposed regional trail outside the park.
The project leveraged Alisal Vibrancy Plan (AVP) implementation funds designated for park and open space improvements. AVP funds were used to augment the project to include construction of the trail, trash and recycling receptacles, and exercise stat ions. Adding more trash and recycling receptacles for cleanliness, and the addition of exercise stations to promote healthy activity were identified as priorities in the resident led AVP and implementation plan. This collaboration allowed the City to maxim ize both the use of the per capita grant funds and the AVP implementation funds to increase community benefit and achieve the priorities of both the PRLMP and the AVP.
On March 24, 2023, a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) for the Cesar Chavez Park DG Path Improvements was published via PlanetBids, an online bidding tool. On April 3, 2023, a non - mandatory Bid walk for the project was conducted. On April 27, 2023, one (1) contractor submitted a proposal for evaluation. On June 13, 2023, with Resolution 22693 a contract was awarded to NR Development in the amount of $602,500.
The Notice to proceed with construction was issued on August 28, 2023, with 60 working days to complete the project. The project was substantially complete within the 60 working days allowed.
Even though the trail was finished on time there have been some failures that showed up during the maintenance period. In order to complete the project in the most efficient and cost -effective means, Public Works plans on using the remaining funds in the account to address the issues that have arisen.
The acceptance of the completed work allows the City to maintain the completed project. It also puts the contractor and sub -contractors on notice that the pro ject is considered complete by the City. The City can then use all unclaimed amounts of the contract to pay for needed repairs.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Categorically exempt. The City of Salinas has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Section 1530l(c), Class 1), because the project proposes to maintain an existing pedestrian trail.
Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exemptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Sections 15300.2, because section does not apply, and we are not reconstructing or replacing any structures or facilities.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
Yes.

DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS, TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION DIVISION FROM: DAVID JACOBS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
BY: GERARDO RODRIGUEZ, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
ADRIANA ROBLES, ASST. PW DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: WILLIAMS ROAD SAFE STREET CORRIDOR POJECT GRANT
ACCEPTANCE FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY
ADMINISTRATION (FHWA) SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR
ALL (SS4A) GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution:
1) Accepting and receiving grant funds from the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program for the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project; and 2) Authorizing the City Manager or designee to negotiate and execute grant agreements and all documents necessary to effectuate the grant with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in an amount not to exceed $ 16,000,000 with supplemental City funding of $4,000,000; and
3) Authorizing the FY 24-25 Appropriation as follows:
a. Increase the estimated revenue from the Federal Highway Administration by $16,000,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In September 2021, Salinas City Council adopted the Salinas Vision Zero Action Plan and in November 2019, the Alisal Vibrancy Plan was approved as a key strategic planning document.
Both planning documents contain clear support from the communit y to improve traffic safety, reduce vehicle speeds, and to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. In 2024, City of Salinas applied for and was awarded $16,000,000 of Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant funds to construct three roundabouts and corridor safety improvements on Williams Road.
BACKGROUND:
Page | 2
On February 11, 2020, the City of Salinas adopted a Vision Zero Policy, and shortly thereafter developed the Salinas Vision Zero Action Plan approved by Council on September 14, 2021 (Resolution No. 21791 and 22184, respectively) . The Vision Zero Action Plan (Action Plan) is rooted in the understanding that traffic deaths are preventable. The Action Plan used a systems - based approach and application data to identify emphasis areas, priorities, and actionable strategies with the goal of eliminating severe injury and fatal crashes.
Identification of the High Injury Network s (HIN) was a critical first step in order to focus City efforts on roadway segments where high frequency of fatal or severe injury collisions occur. GIS technology was used to define the Salinas HIN. Traffic data for the HIN was collected from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and local police records between the years 2009-2018. The Action Plan illustrates that the Salinas HIN consists of only 12% of the city’s roadway network.
The Williams Road corridor was identified as the second highest corridor for killed or severely injured collisions (KSI) on the Salinas HIN in the Action Plan. Collisions along Williams Road were found to be spatially distributed throughout the corridor and typically located near an intersection or driveway. Notable collision types include broadside and head-on collisions. The most frequent primary collision factors include auto right -of-way violations, unsafe speeds, and improper turning. The corridor currently is five lanes wide with two lanes in each direction, a two- way left turn lane at the center and on street parking on either side. The corridor has a high driveway density and no bike facilities. The countermeasures developed through the community- driven Vision Zero Action Plan were tailored to specifically address the notable collision types and primary collision factors. The City evaluated different conceptual options to meet the needs of the community and contemplated the t rade-offs between parking, safe bicycle facilities and traffic operations throughout the process. Ultimately , access management strategies were identified for Williams Road to help mitigate the collision trends.
In September 2023, with the approval of the City Manager, staff applied for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. The SS4A is a federal grant program established to support the U.S Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and their go al of zero roadway death using a Safe System Approach. Williams Road was identified as the primary candidate for the grant program and the City was awarded $16 million to implement the recommended safety improvements.
The Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project concept strongly follows the countermeasures identified in the Vision Zero Action Plan and the vision of the SS4A grant with multimodal improvements along Williams Road between East Alisal Road and Freedom Parkway. The design will include modifications to the roadway and upgrades of the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities with the primary focus of improving safety along the corridor . An Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) for key corridor intersections was performed to ensure the proper safety and cost- effective strategies were utilized. Three roundabouts are proposed at Williams Rd and East Alisal St, Williams Road and East Market St and Williams Road and Freedom Parkway.
Page | 3
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. assisted the City with the SS4A grant program application and developed the concept plans. After announcement of award of the SS4A grant, the City wished to continued work ing with Kimley -horn and Associates, Inc. per Master Services Agreement (Resolution No. 22563) for the Project Approval and Environment Document (PA/ED) phase. At its meeting on April 9, 2024, City Council approved Resolution No. 22937 for an agreement with Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. for the PA&ED phase to get the project sta rted utilizing existing CIP 9071 funds. Staff is coordinating with FHWA on allocation of the SS4A funds and recommends the acceptance of the $16,000,000 grant for the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project from the Safe Streets and Roads For All (SS4A) Grant Program, and authorization to the City Manager to execute agreements with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) related to the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project Grant, and the authorizing the appropriation of leveraging funds through the annual budgeting process to CIP 9128 for the Williams Road Safe Corridor Project.
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).
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Concept Project supports the City Council goals of “Infrastructure and Environmental Sustainability”, “Public Safety” and “Effective and Culturally Responsive Government”.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Williams Road Safe Streets Corridor Project will be overseen by Public Works. The Finance Department provides fiscal monitoring and reporting information for the grant agreement.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
There is no cost to the General Fund. This Council action authorizes the appropriation of $16,000,000 to the 5201 Special Const Assist – Fed & St Fund for Williams Streetscape and Safety CIP 9128. The required City matching funds totaling $4, 000,000 will be requested, as needed, through the annual CIP budgeting process from Development Fees – Arterial (Fund 2306) and Measure X (Fund 2510).

TITLE: 2024 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY FOR SPEED
LIMITS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution establish ing speed limits as recommended by the 202 4 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In California, an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is the tool used to establish a speed limit with surveys updated every 5-7 years and may be extended up to 10 years. Normally the speed limit is set at the closest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed calculated through the E&TS but a single 5 mph reduction is permitted based on roadway conditions and constraints.
Traditionally, speed limits set further below the 5-mph reduction were not allowed as they would create a Speed Trap which would result in an inability of law enforcement to enforce the roadway with radar per the California Vehicle Code (CVC). This practice changed in July 2024 based on the California Assembly Bill 43-Traffic Safety (AB 43) which allows speed limit establishment to also consider “vulnerable roadway users” and “safety corridors” defined by a local agency. In essence, the new practice eliminates the current Speed Trap rule allowing agencies to establish speed limits based on policy direction.
Considering this, staff recommended to City Council in the 2023 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits that three (3) roadway segments (Sherwood Drive, Skyway Boulevard, and Work Street) be resurveyed following the implementation of AB 43 which would allow the current posted speed limit to be reduced or retained, otherwise it would have resulted in an increase of the posted speed limit . City Council approved Resolution No. 22835 as recommended by staff on November 7, 2023 (Attachment 4). This report summarizes the findings of the E&TS that staff resurveyed for these three (3) roadway segments.
BACKGROUND:
The regular analysis and establishment of speed limits on roadways ensures compliance with the Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC) established by the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances.
Page | 2
Engineering & Traffic Survey (Speed Survey) Process
In California, the use of speed surveys is defined by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and the methodology defined by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Speed surveys are currently established using the 85th Percentile Method defined within the MUTCD and involves taking an indiscriminate sample data set during normal traffic conditions to calculate the 85th percentile speed of the roadway and then setting the speed limit to the closest 5 -mph increment of the calculated 85th percentile speed . A further 5-mph reduction is permitted bas ed on roadway conditions and constraints. The CVC further clarifies that if a valid speed survey is not available or if a speed limit is set below that practice that a Speed Trap is established (CVC 40802) limiting the use of radar enforcement on that roadway segment.
For example, a roadway segment with a measured 85th percentile speed of 37 mph would be rounded down to have a recommended speed limit of 35 mph. A 5-mph reduction to 30 mph is permitted based on geometric constraints such as horizontal or vertical curves that limit roadway visibility or non-visible constraints such as the roadway serving as a suggested route to school or a portion of an identified bicycle network resulting i n a higher-than-normal pedestrian or bicycle activity. If this same roadway segment were signed at 25 mph, it would be considered a Speed Trap and radar enforcement would not be admissible.
California Assembly Bill 43 - Traffic Safety (AB 43) removed the current Speed Trap limitation by allowing local agencies to set speed limits based on policy direction. Speed surveys can take into consideration vulnerable roadway users (i.e., students, disabled persons, bicyclists) into consideration to allow lower speed limits than those calculated by the 85th percentile method. The establishment of a Safety Corridor by the local agency is required to allow for the reduced speed limit to take effect.
Salinas Engineering & Traffic Surveys
In 2023, Public Works staff identified three (3) roadway segments to be resurveyed following the implementation of AB 43. Staff identified these roadway segments as “safety corridors” due to the presence of schools, pedestrian facilities, and bicycle facilities. Increasing the posted speed limit on these roadway segments would decrease the safety of vulnerable roadway users such as students, pedestrians, and bicyclists. As a result of the resurvey, retention of the current posted speed limit is recommended for all three roadways segments surveyed. See Table 1 below.

Why not keep the existing speed limit signs arbitrarily low to slow the speed of traffic? It is important to point out that under current state law, it is not permitted to set arbitrarily low speed limits that do not align with measured speed limit s. As mentioned above, this results in Speed Traps that limit the use of radar enforcement by law en forcement which in turn may result in higher vehicle speeds. However, following implementation of AB 43 further reductions in roadway speed limits are permitted following additional study to determine if vulnerable roadway users may benefit from the establishment of Safety Corridors by the City Council.
Traffic and Transportation Commission Hearing
The recommendation for the establishment of the 2024 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits was presented to the Traffic and Transportation Commission at its December 12, 2024, meeting. The Commission voted ( 3-0) to recommend City Council approve a Resolution to establish the 2024 Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits. At this meeting, three out of the five appointed members were present, there are currently two vacancies in the Commission for Districts 1 and 4.
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 pot ential 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.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The establishment of legitimate speed limits support the City Council's goal of “Public Safety”.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Public Works Department survey, recommend, and monitor posted speed limits. Established speed zones allow the Salinas Police Department to enforce posted speed limits. Public Works provides the Police Department and the Traffic Court with updates and changes to the established speed limits for proper enforcement.
Page | 4
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
There is no fiscal and sustainability impact. The posted speed limits for all three (3) roadway segments will be retained, therefore, there is no need for replacement of existing speed limit signs.

INTRODUCTION:
The 2024 Engineering and Traffic (E&T) Surveys in the City of Salinas fulfills California Vehicle Code (CVC) Sections 22357 and 22358, which require local agencies to follow certain procedures established by the State of California. The E&T Surveys are intended to serve as the basis for establishing and enforcing the speed limits for specific streets in the City.
The work herein by the City Traffic and Transportation Engineering Division staff, in accordance with the California CVC Section 40802, reviews the established speed limit sections to determine whether changes in existing conditions have occurred which may require adjusting the posted speed limit.
Engineering and Traffic Surveys for speed limits are regularly conducted once every five (5) years by governing municipalities for the purpose of complying with Section 40802 of the CVC and the national Uniform Vehicle Code. E&T Surveys may be extended to every seven (7) years if the arresting officer has completed device training and the device has been recently calibrated. E&T Surveys may be extended every ten (10) years if a registered engineer evaluates the section of the highway and determines that no significant changes in roadway or surrounding land uses have occurred as specified in the CVC. An E&T Survey should be conducted on new roadways or where traffic conditions have changed significantly.
The California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD), as required under CVC 21400, defines standards for posting speed limits that rely upon collecting speed data in the field to determine the 85th percentile speed, which is subsequently rounded upward or downward to the nearest 5 mile per hour increment. The CA-MUTCD allows for options to further reduce the speed limit. Additionally, local authorities are allowed to further reduce speed limits to consider the safety of vulnerable pedestrians under Assembly Bill No. 43. That methodology was applied to two (2) of the three (3) segments. Table 1: Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary summarizes the findings and recommendations for speed limits on those segments. The results of the E&T Surveys will be valid until 2029, see Table 1 for details, unless extended through additional criteria.
METHODOLOGY:
On January 1, 2012, CVC 21400(b) became effective requiring the California, Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to revise the CA-MUTCD so that speed limits are based on field-collected speed data. A spot speed survey that typically consists of measuring vehicle speeds with an electronic device, most commonly a radar speed detector. Traffic traveling at free-flow speeds in each direction for a two-way street is collected and compiled to create a data set. The most significant data point collected is the 85th percentile speed, which is the speed at or below which 85 percent of motor vehicles travel. The 85th percentile speed is the industry standard data point which typically represents one standard deviation above the average speed and establishes the upper limit of what is considered reasonable and prudent. The reason that speed limit areas are established and posted is to guard reasonable drivers from the unreasonable behavior of a reckless or otherwise dangerous drivers. As with other laws, speed limits are established based on the consensus of the majority of those who drive a section of roadway as to what speed is reasonable and safe.
As specified in the California MUTCD Section 2B.13, the posted speed limit “shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.” Additionally, the MUTCD allows the posted speed limit to be lowered by no more than 5 mph from a rounded speed, using one of two options that depend on whether the 85th percentile speed has been rounded down or up. The options may be applied as follows:
1. MUTCD Section 2B.13 states, “The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed, in compliance with CVC Sections 627 and 22358.5.” The cited CVC Section 627 defines an E&T survey that is required to consider prevailing speeds, accident records, and conditions not readily apparent to the driver, and optionally consider residential density as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety. According to the MUTCD, this option requires documentation of an E&T Survey that “shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer.” The basis for a speed limit that is more than 5 mph lower than the 85th percentile speed is something other than prevailing speeds. In regard to conditions not readily apparent to the driver, CVC 22358 states that “physical conditions such as width, curvature, grade and surface conditions, or any other condition readily apparent to a driver, in the absence of other factors, would not require special downward speed zoning.”
2. MUTCD Section 2B.13 12a also states “For cases in which the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5-mph increment below the 85th percentile speed, if no further reduction is used.” An Option 2 round-down, which became available when CVC Section 21400(b) went into effect January 1, 2012, requires no E&T Survey to post the speed limit sign. The E&T Survey is required nevertheless, however, to allow radar or similar devices to be used for enforcement.
Neither the Vehicle Code nor the MUTCD provide much specific guidance regarding accident data or pedestrian or bicycle safety. In contrast, CVC 627(c)(1) provides specific guidance on residential density. Many residential neighborhoods in Salinas meet the density threshold of 16 separate dwelling houses or business structures per quarter mile. The statute does not apply to roads within a business district.
While the California MUTCD allows two options for lowering the posted speed, it has no provision for raising the speed limit above the nearest 5-mph increment of the 85th percentile speed.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The results of the Engineering and Traffic Survey for three (3) roadway sections are listed in Table 1: Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary:
Engineering and Traffic Surveys Expiring 2029:
Unchanged
69) Sherwood Drive between East Market Street and East Bernal Drive – This segment of Sherwood Drive is classified as a major arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes agricultural areas, backing residential homes, general commercial areas, and schools. Speed data collected August 12, 2024 revealed the 85th percentile speed of 48 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 41 mph to 50 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, the prevailing speeds rounded up and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 2, and following the implementation of Assembly Bill No. 43, authorizing local authority to further reduce speed limits, the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph should be retained.
87) Skyway Boulevard between Airport Boulevard and East Alisal Street – This segment of Skyway Boulevard is classified as a minor arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes a private golf course and a municipal airport. Speed data collected August 14, 2024 revealed the 85th percentile speed of 42 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 36 mph to 45 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, and the prevailing speeds rounded down and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 1, the existing posted speed limit of 35 mph should be retained.
88) Work Street between East Alisal Street and South Sanborn Road - This segment of Work Street is classified as a minor arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes industrial and commercial areas.
Speed data collected August 14, 2024 revealed the 85th percentile speed of 44 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 36 mph to 45 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, the prevailing speeds rounded up and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 2, and following the implementation of Assembly Bill No. 43, authorizing local authority to further reduce speed limits, the existing posted speed limit of 35 mph should be retained.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Engineering and Traffic Surveys contained in Appendix A of this report are intended to establish and justify posted speed limits that can be enforced by radar. The posted speed limits advise the motorist and enforcement agencies of speeds considered reasonable for a particular section of highway for prevailing conditions. The posted speed limits are not absolute maximums, but rather prima facie speed limits for which violations would be cited under the Basic Speed Law (Section 22350 of the CVC). CVC 22350 states that a person shall not drive a vehicle at a speed greater than is safe, having regard for traffic, roadway, and weather conditions. A prima facie limit merely suggests a safe speed under normal conditions.

COLLISION HISTORY
The Engineering and Traffic Survey forms summarize the available collision information for each of the street segments.
The collision information was obtained from the City of Salinas from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. For this analysis, only collisions during the 2-year period between January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022 were considered. The collisions were reviewed and only corridor related collisions, those not related to signalized intersections, were summarized for each segment. Based on the number of total collisions studied over the 2-year period and average daily traffic (ADT) counts, a collision rate was calculated for each segment. The collision rates for each segment were compared to the statewide average rate listed in the 2021 Collision Data on California State Highways, to provide a general comparison of the collision rates on the segments to expected collisions rates for similar types of roadways, shown in Table 2: Collision Rate Summary.

This segment of Sherwood Drive is classified as a major arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes agricultural areas, backing residential homes, general commercial areas, and schools. Speed data collected August 12, 2024 revealed the 85th percentile speed of 48 mph.
The 10 mph pace ranges from 41 mph to 50 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, the prevailing speeds rounded up and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 2, and following the implementation of Assembly Bill No. 43 authorizing local authority to further reduce speed limits, the existing posted speed limit of 40 mph should be retained.

This segment of Work Street is classified as a minor arterial in the City of Salinas General Plan. The surrounding land use includes industrial and commercial areas. Speed data collected August 14, 2024 revealed the 85th percentile speed of 44 mph. The 10 mph pace ranges from 36 mph to 45 mph and suggests the 85th percentile is within this range. Based on the surrounding land use, the 10 mph pace range, the prevailing speeds rounded up and reduced by 5 mph per MUTCD option 2, and following the implementation of Assembly Bill No. 43 authorizing local authority to further reduce speed limits, the existing posted speed limit of 35 mph should be retained.

BY: GERARDO RODRIGUEZ, ASSISTANT ENGINEER
ADRIANA ROBLES, CITY ENGINEER
TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE BETWEEN THE CITY OF SALINAS AND KIMLEY-
HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE WILLIAMS ROAD
SAFE STREET CORRIDOR PROJECT
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for extra work for the Project Approval and Environmental Document Phase of the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project and increase the total compensation by $39,500, for a revised not to exceed amount of $418,365.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In December 2023, the City of Salinas was awarded $16 million of federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant funds to construct three roundabouts and corridor improvements on Williams Road. Prior to development of design documents, the City must process a Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) with Caltrans. The PA/ED will provide all necessary environmental studies required for CEQA/NEPA for the project. In April 2024, the City Council approved an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) for preparation of the PA/ED for the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project for a not to exceed total of $378,865.
A revision to the Preliminary Environmental Study , requested by Caltrans, requires additional services and compensation for Kimley -Horn. Staff recommends that Council authorize City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to increase the total compens ation for a not to exceed amount of $418,365.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2023, with the approval of the City Manager, staff applied for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. The SS4A is a federal grant program established to support the U.S Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and their goal of zero roadway death s using a Safe System Approach. Williams Road was identified as the primary Page | 2
candidate for the grant program and the City was awarded $16 million1 to implement the recommended safety improvements.
Prior to development of the design documents, a Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA/ED) must be completed and processed through Caltrans. The PA/ED will provide:
1. Preliminary Engineering Studies and Draft Project Report – preliminary engineering to determine environmental impacts of the project.
2. Environmental Documentation – technical studies required to comply with CEQA and NEPA
a. Air Quality Analysis
b. Acoustical Analysis
c. Hazardous Materials Memorandum
d. Natural Environmental Study
e. Cultural Resources
f. Visual Assessment Memorandum
g. Traffic and Circulation Memorandum
3. Public Outreach – Prior to preparation of the final environmental document, the draft environmental document will seek and respond to public comments.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) assisted the City with the concept plans for the SS4A grant program application. After announcement of award of the SS4A grant , the City continued working with Kimley-Horn per the Master Services Agreement (Resolution No. 22563) for the Project Approval and Environment Document phase.
A Preliminary Environmental Study ( PES) form is required for the PA&ED . After the form was submitted for review to Caltrans, the City was awarded approximately $7.9 million from the Action Transportation Grant Program ATP Cycle 7 which includes improvements for the John Street and Williams Road. Staff seeks to close funding gaps from the SS4A grant with the ATP grant. During review of the ATP grant, Caltrans recommended revising the already-submitted PES form, to identify the proposed improvements on both Williams Road and John Street. Thus, reducing paperwork and review time for the projects.
Kimley-Horn has been directly to revise the PES form and an additional $39,500 is required for this effort. The total compensation for Kimley -Horn to complete the PA&ED for both the SS4A and ATP grant projects is $418,365.
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).
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
Yes.
1 Formal acceptance of the grant has not been presented to City Council as staff is awaiting authorization to proceed from the federal government.

City of Salinas, March 19, 2024
Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, Page 5
Task 4.1 - Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form and Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map
Environmental issues that may require further detailed study will be documented in the PES for City concurrence prior to the initiation of the technical study work program. Consultant will draft a PES Form for C ity review with respect to the proposed project details. The C ity reviewed PES Form will be submitted to FHWA for review and approval. Environmental manager will be available for one site visit with the City to review the area and take comments on the PES Form. The Caltrans-approved PES Form will act as the final work scope for the required NEPA compliance documentation.
As part of this task, th e Consultant team will draft the Area of Potential Effects (APE) map for both Archaeology and Historic Architecture (as applicable) in coordination with the City and Caltrans. Once the City has reviewed and approved the APE map, the APE Map will be submitted, with the PES Form, for Caltrans Professionally Qualified Staff (PQS) approval. The APE map will then provide the cultural resources boundaries for the Caltrans PQS-prepared Screened Undertaking.
Task 4.2 Technical Study Work Program
Consultant proposes to prepare technical studies in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), pertinent FHWA regulations, Caltrans’ Environmental Handbook, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Consultant will coordinate w ith Caltrans staff to formalize the specific content and format requirements for each study. The Consultant team has developed the following technical study work plan to satisfy City and Caltrans’ environmental requirements (budgets for the following tasks assume responses on two consolidated, non-conflicting sets of City / Caltrans review comments).
Subtask 4.2.1: Air Quality Analysis
Based on our experience with Caltrans District 5, a review of the project concepts, and a review of the Caltrans PES Form, Consultant anticipates that air quality can be addressed within the context of the environmental document for construction purposes and would not require a technical study. In addition, the project is exempt from air quality conformity based on 40 CFR 93.126, Table 2, which lists Traffic Control Devices and Operating Assistance Other than Signalization Projects, as exempt from the requirement that a conformity determination be made.
Consistent with this Scope of Services, Consultant will prepare a Project of Air Quality Concern (POAQC) checklist. Accordingly, the following air quality technical study will be completed:
Fugitive dust and equipment exhaust emissions from construction activities will be quantitatively evaluated using the latest version of the Roadway Construction Emissions Model (RCEM). As the project involves a multi-lane roundabout and would not add roadway capacity or involve other physical roadway modifications, the analysis will briefly describe that the proposed project would improve intersection operations and not negatively impact air quality.
The particulate matter analysis will require PM2.5 interagency consultation with the Association of Monterey Bay Governments (AMBAG) Regional Planning Partnership Project Level Conformity Group to determine project level conformity.
This scope assumes that the project would not be a POAQC as determined by the checklist and related technical study.
City of Salinas, March 19, 2024
Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, Page 6
▪ This scope assumes that AMBAG interagency consultation will be conducted via teleconference.
▪ This scope excludes operational emissions quantification. ▪ This scope excludes Quantitative Transportation Conformity Hot-Spot Analysis.
Subtask 4.2.2: Acoustical Analysis
Consultant will prepare a noise study report consistent with the Caltrans Noise Analysis Protocol (May 2011) and Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) to address traffic noise impacts on land uses located adjacent to the proposed project. Noise standards regulating noise impacts, including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) and applicable local noise ordinances, will be discussed for land uses located adjacent to the project. The areas with potential future traffic noise impacts will be identified using land use information, aerial photographs, and field reconnaissance. A discussion of any existing sensitive uses and approved future uses in the project vicinity will be included.
Ambient noise level measurements will be conducted to establish the existing noise environment at representative noise-sensitive land uses along Williams Road within the project area. Short-term (20-minute) noise level measurements will be conducted at up to four locations with concurrent traffic counts to document the existing noise environment and to calibrate the traffic noise model. Long-term 24-hour noise level measurements will be conducted at one representative location to identify the peak traffic noise hour. Observations of other noise sources, barriers, terrains, building heights, and other site-specific information will be noted during each measurement period.
Short-term noise impacts from project construction sources will be analyzed based on the equipment expected to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. The construction noise impact will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent noise-sensitive locations. Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area and the City’s Noise Ordinance specifications.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM) version 2.5 will be used to evaluate the traffic noise levels associated with the following project scenarios:
Existing, Future No Build, and one Future Build Alternative. Model input data include peak hour traffic volumes, vehicle mix among autos, medium and heavy trucks, vehicle speeds, ground attenuation factors, and roadway configurations. The existing and futur e traffic conditions will assume either the worst-case traffic condition or the peak-hour traffic volumes provided in limited traffic study, whichever is lower.
Noise abatement measures (noise barriers) designed to reduce long-term traffic noise impacts by 5 dBA or more, as required to be feasible, will be evaluated if warranted. This Scope of Services assumes that, based on these findings, a Noise Abatement Decision Report will not be required.
Task 4.2.3: Hazardous Materials Memorandum
Consultant will prepare the Initial Site Assessment (ISA) in general accordance with the Caltrans ISA guidelines and ASTM Standard E-1527-13. Exceptions in the Phase I standard include: 1) no title searches or property appraisals will be performed for the subject property and vicinity, and 2) no direct interviews of the owners of the subject parcels except for City staff will be performed. Soil sampling and testing will not be performed as part of the Phase I ISA. Should additional analysis including soil testing be required, this can be accommodated under a separate scope of work.
City of Salinas, March 19, 2024
Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, Page 7
Consultant will review available data, including previous studies, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facility inspections and plans, site investigation reports, grou ndwater monitoring reports, and federal and state record reviews within one mile of the Project site.
The available records will be used to determine the potential presence of RECs by previous land use and any historic operations that have had a high probability of RECs. This research will also be used to help support the absence of RECs.
Subtask 4.2.4: Natural Environment Study
Consultant will prepare a report discussing the results of a literature review and field studies, and analysis of potential project impact on natural resources. The report will provide information on use of the site (known and potential) by sensitive species identified during the desktop review and surveys. Potential use of the project area by special-status wildlife and plant species will be ranked qualitatively depending upon the suitability of the habitat and/or proximity of any known records found during the database search. Species observed on -site will be reported in the findings. Based on the findings and likelihood of occur rences of special-status species, Consultant will include a discussion of potential constraints that may be required during project activities to further inform project design and implementation.
The report will provide an analysis of special-status species and habitats within the project area, and will include an impact analyses and provide mitigation measures. In addition, Sequoia will develop a detailed set of maps representing habitat types as well as observed and historic locations of special-status species on and in the vicinity of the project site.
Consultant will perform research and compile online database lists of special-status species from the following sources:
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and California Native Plant Society (CNPS), and • Existing peer-reviewed literature, environmental documents, etc.
Consultant will then conduct a reconnaissance-level site visit to determine what biological resources and special-status species habitat may be present. Consultant will prepare a NES report following the Caltrans Standard Environmental Reference template format. The NES will evaluate all observed biological resources and provide avoidance and minimization measures for resources with potential to occur in or near the project site. The NES will include mapping indicating the locations of suitable habitat for federally protected species. It will also include avoidance and minimization measures to minimize the project’s impacts/effects to biological resources.
Subtask 4.2.5: Cultural Resources
APE Map: All Section 106 project reports must include a formal area of potential effect (APE) map. The project archaeologist will prepare a draft text description and map depicting the project’s cultural resources APE (see Task 4.1). The APE will include all areas within the proposed excavation extent as well as all project support areas, such as staging areas and temporary access roads, if needed. The APE map will be reviewed and approved by Caltrans and may need to be modified if there are alterations to the project or if Caltrans has comments on the map. The APE map will be included in the final technical report.
Background Research: The project archaeologist will conduct a California Historical Resources Information Systems (CHRIS) records search for the APE and a 0.25-mile radius at the Northwest Information Center (NWIC), which houses cultural resource records for Monterey County. The purpose of the records search will be to identify any previously recorded cultural resources that may be located within the APE. In addition to a review of previously prepared site records and reports, the records search will also review historical City of Salinas, March 19, 2024
Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, Page 8
maps, ethnographies, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), the California Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD), and the lists of California State Historical Landmarks, California Points of Historical Interest, and Archaeological Determinations of Eligibility. Moreover, the archaeologist will review soil maps to determine if there is a potential for buried cultural resources to be present within the APE.
Concurrently, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) will be contacted for a review of their Sacred Lands File (SLF) database. The NAHC will determine if any NAHC- listed Native American sacred lands are located within the APE. In addition, the NAHC will provide a list of Native American contacts who may have additional information about cultural or tribal cultural resources in the vicinity of the Project. The archaeologist will prepare and mail one round of letters to the NAHC-listed contacts, requesting that they contact us if they know of any Native American cultural resources in the vicinity of the project.
Fieldwork: The project team’s archaeologists will conduct an intensive surface survey (10-to- 15-meter transects) of all accessible land within the APE. The purpose of the survey will be to determine presence/absence of prehistoric and/or historical period cultural materials as well as surface topography and soil characteristics that suggest potential for buried cultural materials.
Reporting: The project team will prepare a final technical report that documents the results of the background research and field efforts and contains recommendations for the project moving forward. The report will be compliant with Section 106 of the NHPA and address CEQA requirements.
Subtask 4.2.6: Visual Assessment Memorandum
It is anticipated that the Caltrans’ Questionnaire to Determine Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) Level score would below 15 for this project. Therefore, the appropriate document level is a technical memorandum. The Consultant will prepare the memorandum consistent with the current Caltrans Landscape Architecture Program’s recommended ou tline per the SER.
The Memorandum will briefly discuss the existing visual setting, sensitive receptors, and will analyze the visual change as compared to baseline conditions. This analysis will summarize the project’s visual change. The brief technical memorandum will address visual issues and provide a rationale why a formal technical study is not required, per the Caltrans SER. This scope excludes formal visual report preparation, viewshed mapping analysis, Key View analysis, and photo simulations.
Subtask 4.2.7: Traffic and Circulation Memo
Data Collection and Meetings
This scope of work will build off of the previous Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) prepared for the project.

▪ Recent/relevant project area traffic data (i.e., volumes, classifications, speeds, collisions, etc.)
City of Salinas, March 19, 2024
Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, Page 9
▪ Forecast traffic data (volume, truck volumes, etc.) in readily useable format for Cumulative Conditions
▪ Seasonal adjustment factors to convert average daily traffic (ADT) to average annual daily traffic (AADT)
Kimley-Horn will complete a site visit of the immediate project vicinity to observe existing operations and lane configurations, vehicle storage lengths, existing traffic control, speed limits, lane utilization, adjacent land uses, and other readily apparent features for the study facilities that are deemed by Kimley-Horn to be relevant to the Scope of Services.
This Scope of Services includes collection of three (3) total 48-hour weekday, AM and PM peak-period intersection turning movement counts (2 hours each peak, 8 hours total per intersection). We will also collect up to three (3) 7-day bi-directional roadway volume and vehicle classification counts. The purpose of this data is to inform the existing conditions operations analysis, and to establish the existing truck volumes.
Kimley-Horn will participate in up to two (2) total project meetings.
Local Transportation Analysis (LTA)
A weekday AM and PM peak-hour local transportation analysis (LTA) will be completed. This analysis will include a Level of Service (LOS) analysis for the following scenarios:
A. Opening Year Conditions+
B. Opening Year plus Proposed Project Conditions ++
C. Cumulative Conditions+++
D. Cumulative plus Proposed Project Conditions++
+ To be established by manually adding annual growth to the existing traffic count volumes
++ “Proposed Project” involves the conversion from Side-Street Stop Control (SSSC) to Roundabout
+++ To be established using readily-useable data to be provided by the City
The LOS analysis will be completed for the single project intersection. LOS will be determined for the time periods and analysis scenarios listed above. LOS for each scenario will be determined using methods defined in the Highway Capacity Manual, using appropriate traffic analysis software (Synchro® and Sidra®) .
Efforts completed in this Task will be documented in brief technical memorandum format with graphics as deemed appropriate by Kimley-Horn. We will prepare and submit electronic copies of the following deliverables to the project team:

WILLIAMS ROAD SAFE STREET CORRIDOR PROJECT
This is Amendment number 1 dated December 6, 2024, to the agreement between City of Salinas ("Client") and Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. ("Consultant") dated April 9, 2024 (“the Agreement") concerning Professional Services for the City of Salinas Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project PA&ED (the "Project").
The Consultant has entered into the Agreement with Client for the furnishing of professional services, and the parties now desire to amend the Agreement.
Therefore, it is mutually agreed that the Agreement is amended to include Additional Services to be performed by Consultant and provisions for additional compensation by the Client to the Consultant, all as set forth below. The Agreement is amended to incl ude services to be performed by Consultant for compensation as set forth below in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, which are incorporated by reference.
The amended agreement is needed to update the previously prepared Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) form to include elements in the John/Williams ATP project as requested by Caltrans. Accordingly, this amendment includes tasks to update the PES, Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), and associated technical reports needed to support those documents. These efforts are discussed in additional detail provided below.
Consultant will perform the following services:
Task 1: Update Preliminary Environmental Study (PES) Form and Area of Potential Effects (APE) Map.
Consultant will update the previously prepared PES Form and resubmit to the City and Caltrans for review with respect to added project elements from the John/Williams ATP project. The Consultant will continue to use the Caltrans -approved PES Form as the final work scope for the required NEPA compliance documentation.
As part of this task, the Consultant team will draft a revised Area of Potential Effects (APE) map for both Archaeology and Historic Architecture (as applicable) in coordination with the City and Caltrans .
The revised APE map will be submitted to Caltrans Professionally Qualified Staff (PQS) for approval for use in the anticipated PQS-prepared Screened Undertaking.
Task 2: Update the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Consultant will update the IS/MND to include the added project elements from the John/Williams ATP project. Updates to the document will be in conformance with CEQA and the regulations, requirements, and procedures of the City and other responsible Public Agencies with jurisdiction by law.

Distribution, Response to Comments, and preparation of the Final Environmental Document.
Task 3: Technical Study Work Program
Consultant will update the technical studies defined in the technical study work plan to include the added project elements from the John/Williams ATP project. Technical studies will be prepared to satisfy City and Caltrans’ environmental requirements and be prepared in conformance with all previously discussed requirements Caltrans’ Environmental Handbook, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). While we will update all technical reports as needed to support the environmental documents, due to the nature of the updated project elements and the percentage of the technical reports that have already been completed only the Air Quality Analysis, Natural Environmental Study, and Cultural Resources Study will have changes to cost. We also continue to anticipate , as previously discussed with the City, Caltrans will request additional study for hazards and hazardous materials, so no changes to that scope in that regard are presented at this time.

TITLE: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE BETWEEN THE CITY OF SALINAS AND SWA GROUP
FOR THE ALISAL VIBRANCY PLAN: STREETSCAPE MASTER
PLAN
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 with SWA Group for additional scope of work to complete the Alisal Vibrancy Plan: Streetscape Master Plan and increase the total compensation by $42,000, for a revised not to exceed amount of $441,900.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In November 2019, City Council accepted the Alisal Vibrancy Plan (AVP) as a key strategic planning document. The AVP builds on community work and recommendations collected through the Alisal Corridor Plan (Corridor Plan or ACP) approved by City Council in January 2019 . The Corridor Plan is a complete streets concept that seeks to advance the goals of social equity, health, safety, and economic vitality along East Alisal Street. To advance implementation of the AVP’s community recommended policies and actions, the City sought proposals for the Alisal Vibrancy Plan: Streetscape Master Plan (Master Plan). In April 2023, City Council authorized a design contract with SWA Group to develop the Master Plan. The project timeline has extended several months causing additional work. Staff is seeking authorization to execute Amendment No. 1 to increase the total compensation by $42,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $441,900.
BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the City of Salinas, in partnership with the Local Government Commission and Building Healthy Communities, received a Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant to prepare a complete street plan to advance the goals of social equity, health, safety and economic vitality along East Alisal Street in the East Salinas neighborhood. The Alisal Corridor Plan (Corridor Plan or ACP) was developed to align with the community’s goals and complete streets concepts. The Corridor Plan was approved by City Council on January 22, 2019.
Page | 2
The Alisal Vibrancy Plan (AVP), guided by the visioning of the Corridor Plan, seeks to expand the ideals developed through the Corridor Plan to the entire Alisal neighborhood. The AVP is a result of years of visioning, community organizing, and relationship building between the City of Salinas and Alisal residents. The AVP seeks to communicate the collective vision, desires , and recommendations of those who live, work, and shop in the Alisal. Over 2,000 residents and community stakeholders participated the community-led engagement process that resulted in more than 150 strategies. Community recommendations evolved into guiding principles that led to the goals and policies documented as implementation actions in the final Alisal Vibrancy Plan. On November 5, 2019, City Council appro ved Resolution No. 21731 accepting the Alisal Vibrancy Plan as a key strategic planning document.
The AVP establishes four specific goals for Transportation and Infrastructure.
GOAL TI 1: Design and Maintain Safe Streets. Transportation safety in the Alisal can be improved through better street and intersection design and maintenance. Well-marked crosswalks in addition to sidewalk connections and extensions can make neighborhood streets safer and more welcoming to pedestrians. Bike facilities will allo w another way for residents to get around safely and easily. New curb and street designs will be used to decrease traffic speed in neighborhoods and around schools.
Goal TI 2: Establish a Connected and Equitable Multimodal Transportation Network.
Matching bus schedules and routes to community needs and creating a robust network of bike lanes can increase transit ridership and encourage many Alisal residents to use alternative forms of transportation. Encouraging carpooling and public transportation can reduce the number of cars on the road and provide suitable options for residents without cars.
Goal TI 3: Provide High Functioning Infrastructure and Attractive Streets with Pedestrian Amenities . In order for the Alisal to be a safe, healthy, and thriving community, sewers, stormwater systems, internet services, and other utilities must be upgraded to serve its population now and in the future. Green infrastructure, street furniture, and pedestrian design are also essential considerations for susta ining and supporting neighborhood activity.
Goal TI 4: Improve Parking Management for Both Residents and Businesses. Demand for parking is exacerbated by the high residential density of the Alisal and lack of controls in commercial areas. By applying an d effectively enforcing a parking management program, availability in commercial and residential zones can be increased. Efforts to promote alternative transportation can reduce parking demand and free up parking spaces by decreasing the amount of individual car trips.
To advance the AVP transportation and infrastructure goals, city staff solicited design companies to develop a streetscape master plan with specific streetscape concepts and guidelines that can be used to developed into viable projects to improve the functionality and safety of the Alisal’s primary commercial corridors. The Streetscape Master Plan (Master Plan) builds upon the work from the Alisal Corridor Plan and the Alisal Vibrancy Plan, to provide a more comprehensive and Page | 3
cohesive conceptual design for Alisal’s major commercial corridors : East Market Street, North Sanborn Road, East Alisal Street, and Williams Road.
On April 18, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 22641 authorizing a design contract with SWA Group to develop the AVP Streetscape Master Plan. Development of the Master Plan has included concept development, analysis of traffic operations and traffic simulations, community engagement and outreach, and plan refinement . The Master Plan builds upon other planning efforts such as the Alisal Complete Streets, Safe Routes to School, Vision Zero, Urban Greening Master Plan, Salinas Active Transportation Plan , Urban Forest Management Plan and most recently, the Alisal District Identity Master Plan. Based on this background and community input received throughout the conceptual design process, the goals defined in the plan are to reduce vehicle speeds, create safer streets for everyone, enhance the public realm, foster community gathering spaces, and expand the urban tree canopy for a more resilient, beautiful, and healthy Alisal.
Community outreach which began once the initial concepts where developed, has not been without its challenges and some level of pushback from some members of the community. In fall 2023, the design concepts approach strategies of “connect the Alisal”, “live the Alisal” and “plant the Alisal” were presented by SWA. In initial community outreach events, these concepts were widely supported by participants. When outreach expanded to an online survey, this provided a mixed reaction. In general, those opposed did not want any improvements to be made to the corridors.
The team regrouped and a new messaging strategy was developed in which design solutions were provided for the issues voiced by the community (speeding, safety, and inadequate bike and pedestrian facilities). The reception was once again, favorable.
In December 2024, following months of additional concept iterations, analysis, additional community, and stakeholder outreach, and added coordination with the consultant teams preparing the Active Transportation Plan and Williams Road Safety Corridor project, the draft Master Plan was presented to the Traffic and Transportation Commission . Comments were received prior to the meeting, from the Monterey Salinas Transit (MST). MST is in the early stages of planning for bus rapid transit for the Alisal and has concerns that the proposed concepts may preclude that effort. Concerns were also voiced by the Salinas Fire Department. As they believed the proposed concepts may impact response times.
As indicated at the Commission meeting, community input has informed the design concepts, as did the award of a $16 million grant for safety improvements to Williams Road secured through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, and the award of a $7.9 million grant from the Active Transportation Program (ATP) for bike improvements along John Street and Williams Road.
Currently, the design concepts present an illustration of how the visions and goals of the AVP can be implemented. Further refin ement and engineering are required to develop the concepts in to construction documents. At this time, funding is only available , through SS4A and ATP , for improvements on Williams Road and John Street. Development of those plans will require additional community engagement and working with agency partners like MST and our Fire Page | 4
Department and public safety to bridge the gaps between speed reduction and convenience, access and parking, public safety, and resistance to change.
As indicated, SWA has extended their anticipated contract timeline and effort due to multiple concept design iterations. Staff recommends that Council authorize City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to increase the total compensatio n for a not to exceed amount of $441,900 to complete the Master Plan.
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 the re 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.
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
Yes.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
