Item No: C8
Meeting Date: November 12, 2024
Agenda Location: Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: SPEED HUMPS ON ALVARADO TERRACE AND ON PALM DRIVE RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the installations of speed humps on Alvarado Terrace between Palm Drive (N) & Palm Drive (S); and on Palm Drive between Alvarado Terrace (N) & Alvarado Terrace (S).
2. Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2024- , amending the Capital Project Budget for Fiscal Years 2024/25 and 2025/26.
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Traffic: Continue to improve flow of traffic for all forms of travel, reduce congestion, and improve our roads and sidewalks.
PRIOR ACTION: On June 13, 2023, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2023-96, amending City Council Policy 600-07, Criteria and Procedures for Installation of Speed Humps (Vote: 4-1, Franklin Opposed).
On March 28, 2023, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2023-44, approving speed humps at certain locations in the City (Vote: 5-0).
A comprehensive list of prior City Council actions is included as Exhibit 2 PRIOR TRAFFIC COMMISSION ACTION: On October 2, 2024, approved the installations of speed humps on Alvarado Terrace between Palm Drive (N) & Palm Drive (S); and on Palm Drive between Alvarado Terrace (N) & Alvarado Terrace (S). (Vote: 5-0, Two Vacancies).
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City received a request to evaluate the stretch of Alvarado Terrace between Palm Drive (N) & Palm Drive (S) for speed humps as a traffic calming measure. Since Palm Drive between Alvarado Terrace (N) & Alvarado Terrace (S) parallels the requested segment of Alvarado Terrace, speed humps on Alvarado Terrace could result in diversion of traffic. Therefore, staff also evaluated Palm Drive for speed humps. Staff conducted the evaluation of both streets using the criteria outlined in City Council Policy 600-07, Criteria and Procedures for Installation of Speed Humps. Please see Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 for the speed hump evaluations. Staff determined that both sections of Alvarado Terrace and Palm Drive meet the criteria for the installation of speed humps. It should be noted that neither street has been identified by the Fire Department as a high priority transportation route.
ACTION: Approved above recommendation, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2024-180. Vote: 4-0 (Melendez absent).

SUBJECT: SPEED HUMPS ON ALVARADO TERRACE AND ON PALM DRIVE As required in City Council Policy 600-07, the residents submitted a petition for the installation of the speed humps. Exhibit 5 and Exhibit 6 are the petition and petition verification map, which show that a majority of nearby residents are in support of the speed humps.
Staff collected data that showed the prevailing speeds near 440 Alvarado Terrace to be around 19 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 7. Staff collected data that showed the prevailing speeds near 463 Palm Drive to be around 23 miles per hour. The speed study is attached as Exhibit 8. There has also been one reported accident on Palm Drive and no reported accidents on Alvarado Terrace in the past five years.
The adjacent properties have been notified that this proposal will be on the November 12, 2024 City Council agenda. Exhibits 9 and 10 contain a map of notified properties, and the notice sent to the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost to install four speed humps is $24,000.

Approval of this staff report will appropriate $500,000 from the reserve account into the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Project (No. 8361) to fund the $24,000 for the installation of four new speed humps, $120,000 for 20 previously approved speed humps, and $356,000 for future City Council approved speed humps or other City Council directed traffic calming initiatives.

To provide uniformity in considering requests for speed humps, the following standards, selection criteria, procedures and installation guidelines are adopted for use by the City Engineer, Traffic Commission and City Council.
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 an collector streets. Speed humps shall not be used on major and arterial roadways as designated in the Circulation Element of the General Plan of the City of Vista. b. Street segments shall be without severe vertical or horizontal alignment. A speed hump shall be visible for at least 200 feet.
c. The measured 85th percentile speeds shall be greater than 35 mph or 60 percent of the measured speeds shall be in excess of the posted speed limit. d. The street shall not be an important access route for emergency vehicles as determined by the City's emergency services departments. e. Speed humps shall not be installed on streets when it is anticipated that traffic will be diverted to another local residential street.
f. The street must consist of one travel lane in each direction. g. Speed humps will not normally be installed on isolated blocks along a continuous street or on a relatively short (less than 800 feet) cul-de- sac. h. 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 EXHIBI 12

Vista City Council Policy
services departments 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 City Traffic Engineer will complete Speed Hump Criteria Checklist (Exhibit A) to make the determination of satisfying the City's policy. 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.
d. Upon determination that a street is eligible for further consideration, the resident of the street will be advised to submit a petition (Exhibit B) from abutting the property owners or residents indicating that a clear majority (51 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: "if 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 (51 percent or more) asking for removal along with a guarantee to provide sufficient funds for removal as determined by the City Engineer. " The sponsor of the petition is required to contact every resident of the abutting properties of the subject street. If a resident is against the speed humps, the word "OPPOSED" will be noted on the petition signature space. If the sponsor is unable to contact a resident, "NO CONTACT" will be noted on the petition signature space with dates and times that the contact was attempted. It is required that the sponsor make at least two attempts on separate days to contact a resident.
Any petitions submitted prior to the eligibility determination by City staff will not be processed ahead of schedule and shall be subject to return if all required information on the installation of speed humps is not included thereon. e. Upon verification of the petition, the Traffic Engineer will make traffic speed and 6o0-O7 (2)

volume measurements, review the traffic accident history for the street in question, and determine acceptable locations for speed humps.
Upon completion of the study, City staff will prepare an agenda item for consideration by the Traffic Commission. City staff will notify the properties on the subject street of the proposal for speed humps an. The Traffic Commission will then hold a hearing on the request and either approve or disapprove the request. If the Traffic Commission denies the request, the resident may appeal the decision to the City Council. The appeal to the City Council must be made within 30 days of the Traffic Commission's action.
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, 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 anytime 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.
