Approved by: John Conley, City Manager Agenda Location: Discussion SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY WORKSHOP
RECOMMENDATION: Receive a report on transportation mobility and provide direction to staff.
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Supports the following City Council goals: (1) Public Safety and (2) Traffic: Continue to improve flow of traffic for all forms of travel, reduce congestion, and improve our roads and sidewalks.
PRIOR ACTION: On January 24, 2023, discussed traffic calming techniques, including the use of speed humps. City Council also directed staff to identify options for Apollo Dr., to create a traffic calming plan for streets identified by the City Council, and to discuss the development of a comprehensive multimodal plan at the workshop in April (Vote: 5-0).
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: At its January 24, 2023, meeting, the City Council discussed the City's traffic calming policies and procedures including the use of speed humps. The City Council also expressed the need for a citywide multimodal mobility plan and directed staff to hold a public workshop to further discuss these issues. This report gives a brief update on the City's ongoing transportation mobility efforts and outlines some recommended changes to the City's traffic calming and speed hump policies.
Ongoing Efforts. Staff has been engaged in efforts to advance the City's goals of traffic safety and multimodal mobility. These efforts are aimed at developing plans and making improvements to transform the City's transportation system into a safe and inclusive network that accommodates all modes of travel and encourages active transportation and the use of transit. Some of the efforts include:
1. Townsite Complete Streets Project Phase I: This project is funded through a $4 million State grant and its construction will begin in May 2023. The project will make improvements to Townsite Drive, W.
Los Angeles Drive and N. Santa Fe Avenue and includes roundabouts, pop- outs, sidewalks, enhanced crosswalks, bike lanes, pedestrian traffic signals and bus shelters.
2. Townsite Complete Streets Project Phase Il: Staff will hire a professional engineering consultant and engage the community to develop a complete streets plan for the residential streets east of N. Santa Fe Avenue in the Townsite neighborhood. The plan will consist of active transportation facilities and traffic calming features. This planning effort will facilitate the submittal of competitive grant applications to fund the infrastructure improvements recommended in the plan.
ACTION: Accept the roundabout at E. Bobier and Calle Jules as presented and staffs recommendations on traffic calming and speed hump policy edits. Vote: 4-1 (Franklin opposed) i

3. Green Bike Lanes: At the direction of the City Council, staff will install green bike lanes at all intersections where bike lanes currently exist. This work will occur in annual phases over a three-year period. The first phase is funded and will be completed in May 2023.
4. Traffic Calming on Priority Streets: At City Council direction, staff devised plans and cost estimates to implement traffic calming measures on seven priority streets. The proposed plans were presented at the March 28, 2023, City Council meeting.
5. Protected Bike Lanes: The City Council directed staff to develop a concept and a cost estimate for implementing protected bike lanes on the City's major roads. The proposed concept was presented at the March 28, 2023, City Council meeting.
6. Traffic Signal on Emerald Drive & Lewis Street/Timothy Place: This project will design and construct a traffic signal at this intersection; however, the unfunded Emerald Drive Complete Street Project proposes a roundabout at this intersection. Staff is pursuing grant funding for the project and the traffic signal will not proceed until the outcome of the grant funding request is known in the near future.
7. Intersection Control on Bobier Drive & Calle Jules: This project will design and construct either a traffic signal or a roundabout at this intersection. The proposal will be discussed at a City Council meeting in the near future.
8. Comprehensive Safety Action Plan: Using a $320,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safe Street and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, and with the assistance of a professional engineering consultant, staff will develop a citywide traffic safety action plan. The plan will use roadway and traffic data and community input to devise recommendations for infrastructure projects to improve traffic safety. The plan will qualify the City to apply for funding for the infrastructure projects in the upcoming cycles of the U.S. Department of Transportation's SS4A grant program.
9. Comprehensive Transportation Sustainability Plan: Staff submitted a grant application to Caltrans to develop a comprehensive multimodal mobility plan. If funded, the plan will take a deep delve into the City's transportation system and make policy, program and infrastructure recommendations to optimize the use of alternative travel modes such as walking, biking, transit, microtransit and micromobility.
10. Collaboration with NCTD on Planning Efforts: Staff is working with NCTD on identifying priority projects to improve transit operations. The effort includes the submittal of a grant application to the Federal Transit Administration to fund a feasibility study for a grade separation of the railroad crossing at Vista Village Drive and Main Street.
Traffic Calming Program. The current Traffic Calming Program has a phased approach consisting of four stages and alternatives within one of the four phases. At recent meetings, the City Council expressed concern that the current program is too complicated for residents to follow. Staff reviewed the program and made edits to simplify its application as shown in Exhibit 1. Based on input from the City Council at this workshop, staff will finalize the proposed edits and bring back the updated program to a City Council meeting in the future for formal adoption.
Speed Hump Policy. The City has a policy in place establishing criteria and procedures for the installation of speed humps. However, speed humps have not been installed in the City for many years because of emergency response concerns. Upon further evaluation, the Fire Department determined that the impact from speed humps on local and collector streets may be acceptable in most cases.
The current screening criteria used to evaluate whether a street is appropriate for speed hump application consists of a point system. The total points that a street can garner is 150, but 130 points is the minimum threshold that a street needs to qualify to move on to the next stage of resident petition. The emergency route criterion is assigned 25 points, which automatically disqualified a street from proceeding to the next stage given the emergency response concerns. In consultation with the Fire Department, the point assignment will be removed from the emergency response criterion, and it will simply become a checkbox 04/06/2023 D 1 Page 2 of 29
MEETING DATE: April 6, 2023 PAGE 3
SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY WORKSHOP
item, where the Fire Department evaluates a requested street on an individual basis and makes the determination as to whether or not speed humps are acceptable.
In reviewing the speed hump policy as a whole, staff also recommends making the following changes:
1. Lowering the resident petition threshold from 75 percent to 51 percent to ease the burden on residents making requests for speed humps that proceed to the petition stage.
2. Removing the restriction of installing speed humps on collector streets.
3. Removing the restriction of installing speed humps on streets with speed limits higher than 25 miles per hour.
4. Removing the street segment length restriction.
5. Removing the street grade restriction.
6. Removing the truck route and transit route restrictions as staff is not aware of any concerns from truck and transit operators.
7. Removing the 40-foot maximum street width restriction.
8. Removing the 3,500 vehicle-per-day maximum traffic volume restriction.
9. Changing the speed hump height range from between 2-5/8 inches—3-1/8 inches to between 3 —4 inches.
Please see Exhibit 2 showing the edits reflecting staff's recommended changes. Based on input from the City Council at this workshop, staff will finalize the recommended changes described above and bring back the updated speed hump policy to a City Council meeting in the near future for formal adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this discussion item.

NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Vista Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) is to reduce speeds of motorists traveling on the City's residential streets. The program is aimed at providing a greater level of safety for all modes of transportation. The NCTP WA-details the various traffic calming techniques employed by the City and establishes provide residents with-a procedures for their implementation.imnlomonting devices to nnntrol snoods on residential tstreets. Streets that will be considered for traffic calming device as part, of this program are typiGally two lanes reads with a maximum designation not higher than a "2 Lane Light Collector" as defined and listed On the Circulation Element of the Gity's General P! Implementation of the program re i - giernent and partiGipation of residents within the Sta#determined impaGted area of a neighborhood. it is GritiGal that the majority of residents are informed and given a chance to provide input before deGisions are made by an eleGted or appointed body.

The fellewiRg sections desGribe detail each phase of the traffiG GalmiRg prece The traffic calming process simply begins with a resident expressing concern with speeding or making a request to the City to implement traffic calming. The request may be made in any form of communication including telephone, email, mail or in person. Staff will conduct an evaluation of the requested street using data such as traffic volumes, speeds and accident history. If the data supports a speeding and/or a traffic safety issue, staff will recommend one or more of the following traffic calming measures. Staff will share the recommendations with the resident making the request and advise them of the next steps.
1. Installation of signs, markings and/or striping.
2. Enforcement.
3. Installation of stop signs.
4. Installation of speed humps.
5. Other physical traffic calming devices such as roundabouts, raised medians, intersection pop-outs, enhanced pedestrian crossings and chicanes.
Please see Appendix I for examples of the City's traffic calming toolbox.
Below is a description of the procedures for the implementation of stops signs and physical traffic calming devices. City Council Policy 600-07 contains for the procedures for the installation of speed humps.
Stop Signs:
The installation of stop signs at one or more intersections along a street segment may provide a break in the traffic speeds. Stop signs may only be considered as a traffic calming tool if the Traffic Engineer using appropriate engineering judgment determines that the 04/06/2023 D1 Page 6 of 29
Vista City Counicl Policy 600-13
Exhibit A— Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
roadway or traffic conditions on the street in question justify their installation. The installation of stop signs requires the residents to gather signatures in a petition showing that at least 51% of residents within 200 feet of a proposed stop sign are in favor. Staff will prepare a map of the properties required to sign the petition to aid residents in their signature gathering effort. Appendix II contains a petition form to be used by the residents.
If the residents submit a petition, staff will review it to reasonably ensure that at least 51% of property owners on the mar) prepared by the City have signed the petition. The City is not responsible for any misrepresentations of signatures on the petition. If the petition meets the minimum threshold, staff will prepare the necessary reports and present the item to the Traffic Commission and City Council for approval. Staff will send out notifications to an area that is wider than the petition area prior to each meeting.
Physical Traffic Calming Measures:
Physical traffic calming measures rely on the concept of diverting the traffic horizontally within the existing road width to result in vehicles slowing down to maneuver through these features. Physical traffic calming features include traffic circles, intersection pop-outs, raised medians, chicanes at or between intersections, enhanced pedestrian crossings and others.
Please see Appendix I for examples. These types of traffic calming features carry a sigrnificant cost and generally require the removal of parking within approximately 50 feet in either direction of each feature on both sides of the street. Therefore, City staff will conduct an evaluation based on traffic volumes, speeds and accident data to determine the appropriateness of these devices for a street segment.
The implementation of physical traffic calming devices requires the residents to gather signatures on a petition showing that at least 51% of residents within 200 feet of each proposed calming feature are in favor. Staff will prepare a map of the properties required to sign the petition to aid residents in their signature gathering effort. Appendix III contains a petition form to be used by the residents.
If the residents submit a petition, staff will review it to reasonably ensure that at least 51% of property owners on the map prepared by the City have signed the petition. The City is not responsible for any misrepresentations of signatures on the petition. If the petition meets the minimum threshold, staff will have an engineering consultant prepare exhibits and a cost estimate for the proposed traffic calming devices. The proposed traffic calming plan will then be placed on a list with other locations to await the availability of funding.
If funding becomes available, staff will prepare the necessary reports and present the item to the Traffic Commission and City Council for approval. Staff will send out notifications to an area that is wider than the petition area prior to each meeting.

POLICY
1. Standards and Selection Criteria
a. Speed humps may be used on those local residential streets whose primary function is to provide access to abutting residences or on collector streets. Speed humps shall not be used on ce"- „eGtoF streetsseoondary and-major highwa}Fs and arterial roadways as designated in the Circulation Element of the General Plan of the City of Vista.

I. They will not normally be installed on isolated blocks along a continuous street or on a relatively short (less than 800 feet) cul-de- sac.
M. The street shall not be scheduled for resurfacing during the next 16 months.
2. Procedures
a. The City's adopted policies and procedures for the installation of speed humps will be made available to all interested parties. b. A resident of a local residential street, who believes the residents on that street will support the installation of speed humps will submit a request in writing to the City Traffic Engineer. The Traffic Engineer will consult with the City's emergency services departments and the North County Transit DistriGt in making a determination of whether the street in question is eligible for further consideration for the installation of speed humps, i.e., the street is consistent with the City's policies for the installation of speed humps. The determination of satisfying the City's policy will be the completion of the Speed Hump Criteria Checklist (see Exhibit A).
C. Upon determination that a street is not eligible for speed humps, the resident of the street will be notified in writing giving the reason why the street is not eligible. The resident of the street will be given 15 days to appeal the decision in writing to the City Engineer. If the City Engineer concludes the Traffic Engineer's decision is valid, the resident may appeal the City Engineer's decision to the Traffic Commission. The Traffic Commission will then consider the resident's appeal and determine if the City Engineer's decision should be overruled and allow the request to continue. The Traffic Commission's decision to overrule the City Engineer will identify the reasons and special circumstances to allow further consideration of speed humps on the requested street. If the Traffic Commission rejects the appeal, the matter may still be appealed to the City Council provided that 60 percent of the residents on the street sign the petition (Exhibit B) in support of speed humps.
600-07 (2)
04/06/2023 D 1 Page 23 of 29
Vista City Council Policy
d. Upon determination that a street is eligible for further consideration, the resident of the street will be advised to submit a petition (see Exhibit B) from abutting the property owners or residents indicating that a clear majority (7551 percent or more) support the installation of speed humps on their street. Staff will prepare a map of the properties required to sign the petition to aid residents in their signature gathering effort. The petition forms provided by the City will state: "f there is subsequently a desire by residents to
remove the speed humps, the humps will only be considered for removal after receipt of a petition from a substantial majority (7551 percent or more) asking for removal along with a guarantee to provide sufficient funds for removal as determined by the City Engineer."

Vista City Council Policy
g. The recommendation of the Traffic Commission to install speed humps will be forwarded to the City Council for approval. h. In the event the number of requests for speed humps exceeds the funds available, the City Engineer will rank the requests in a recommended order of priority and submit these recommendations to the Traffic Commission for approval. The priority list recommended for approval will be based on traffic accidents, speeds, traffic volumes, and comments of the City's emergency services departments. The City Engineer will set forth the basis for the recommended priorities in a report accompanying the priority list.
Unless there is an overriding consideration such as high incidence of speed-related accidents (a rare condition on Most local residential streets), priorities will be normally established by multiplying the percentage of motorists exceeding 25 mph by the 24-hour traffic volume of the street in question. A street yielding the highest numerical value resulting from the above consideration will be considered to have the highest priority for speed humps.
Depending on the number of petitions received and the types of streets involved, it is possible that a "cut-off speed" (perhaps an 85th percentile speed of 30 mph) will be established below which streets will not be considered for the program.
i. The physical installation of speed humps and the associated traffic control devices shall conform to design standards established by the City Engineer.
J. The City reserves the right to remove any or all of the speed humps at any time at no cost to the property owner(s).
3. Installation Guidelines
a. Speed humps shall not be placed over manholes, watergates, junction chambers, etc.
b. Where possible, speed humps should be placed at property lines instead of mid-lot.
C. Where possible, speed humps should be placed adjacent to street lights.
d. Hump Dimensions. The dimensions for the speed hump may vary from 2- /83 to 3-1/84 inches in height and 12 to 20 feet in length.
The City Engineer, with the City's emergency services
departments, will examine the height and length of humps to determine the desired dimensions for installation of speed humps in 600-07 (4)
04/06/2023 D 1 Page 25 of 29
Vista City Council Policy
the City. Full height shall extend to two feet from gutter and taper to join existing pavement at edge of gutter.
f. Spacing
(1) 200 to 750 feet between humps
(2) 25 feet to fire hydrants and manholes
(3) 200 feet to intersections
g. Warning Signs. "BUMPS AHEAD" signs shall be placed ahead of the hump
h. Markings. "BUMP" pavement marking may be placed in advance of the hump.
1. Notifications. Each resident on the street shall be notified in writing of the planned hump installation at least three weeks prior to construction.
J. The City Engineer will develop standards for speed hump installation and markings.

Subject: Speeding on Vale View Dr
All,
My wife, Debbie,and I reside at Male View Dr and purchased our forever home in November 2020.
We absolutely love the community and couldn't be more proud to be citizens of Vista.
We apologize for not being able to attend the meeting in person last week-- it coincided directly with bedtimes forthe kids.
We'd like to add in our concerns around speeding and safety around Vale View Dr. When Councilman O'Donnell canvassed, he stopped by my home and we spoke about the safety issues,specifically around this turn on E Vale View Dr:

Q
He mentioned that he almost got hit by a carthat was speeding around the corner.
We have a 7 month old, a 4 year old, and dog, and we all go for a walk around the neighborhood. Nearly every time we walk around the curve and on the "vale view loop,"we have to wave at cars to slow down and nervously herd our children to the side. Frankly,this has happened so much that we no longer walk around this part of our neighborhood with our family.
We're not naive and realize that Vale View is a throughput street, and that won't change.The ideal long-term solution would be to install sidewalks on Vale View.We are cognizant of the significant costs associated with this.
If this isn't feasible, at the very least in the short term,we need speed bumps and a "your speed is" sign (similar to school zones).
I'm not trying to exaggerate or scream hyperbole, but it truly is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or killed around these turns, especially with the changing demographics of the neighborhood with younger families and strollers. 1 Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thank you for your representation and support.
Best,
Nadav& Debbie Weinberg

Re: Agenda Item - D1 — Transportation Mobility Workshop To: Mayor Franklin
Deputy Mayor Contreras
Councilmember Melendez

Councilmember O'Donnell
Dear Mayor and Vista City Council Members,
My understanding of the Regional Transportation plan for San Diego county includes building more public transportation and potentially adding a road user charge (aka mileage tax) to partially fund the plan.
As California is one of the highest taxed states in the nation, it is unreasonable that such a tax would be proposed and possibly levied on businesses and people who can least afford it. Especially after the devastating effect covid policies had on businesses over the last 2-3 years in California.
I need my car for my business as I can't carry my work equipment on public transportation.
There are many people like me (plumbers, electricians, gardeners etc etc).
I would encourage any SANDAG decision(s) regarding the regional transportation plan do not include significantly altering our current infrastructure so that driving becomes even more difficult/time consuming or levying a mileage tax on the people of San Diego county.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment.
Regards,
Pia Romano

Subject: Mobility and Transportation Workshop
Date: Thursday,April 6,2023 1:57:29 PM
Hello,
I won't be able to attend the Mobility and Transportation workshop today due to my work schedule so I'm emailing my comments.
Thank you!
I am very excited that the City of Vista is having a Mobility and Transportation workshop. I've lived in the City of Vista for the majority of my life. I grew up using public transportation to attend school, shopping centers, events, and walked to most places. Now as an adult, I have my own car but I still walk and use public transportation to get around the city. I've noticed that the streets are filled with cars and the car traffic has gotten worse. There's more noise pollution and air pollution from all these cars in the city. It's not only affecting my health but it's creating a very unsafe and agressive enviroment for all of the residents.
I like living in Vista and want to continue living in the city of Vista. We have a lot of great events, good neighboorhoods, great parks, and an amazing public library. Making the City of Vista a safer and child friendly city would alleviate the car traffic and pollution. Children would have safe routes to school,parks, transit centers, and create interesting destinations in the city. Not only children would use these safer routes, residents of all ages and abilites would be able to use them as well. Protected bike lanes, continous sidewalks,pedestrian scrambles, and roundabouts work not only as physical separations for residents and cars in the streets but they also contribute to traffic calming. The City of Vista is a pedestrian zone and cars are the guests, thats the mentality that needs to be embraced to create a safer city for all Vista residents. Creating safer routes for pedestrians, students, and residents of all abilities is possible. The City of Culver and the City of Emeryville are implementing great measures that prioritize safer routes for their residents. Removing right turns on red, establishing physical protective barriers for bike lanes, connecting safe routes for school children, establishing pedestrian hours, are just the beginning of creating a safe city for all it's residents. There is no reason that the City of Vista cannot become a safe city for all it's residents travelling within its city limits. The mayor and council members have stated they want to create a Vista for everyone and the next step is to create a safer Vista for all of its residents traveling within it.
I'm looking forward to attending future mobility and transportation workshops and experience my city become safer for all its residents,
Odalis Lopez
