2021-10-19_9a LRSPMEMORANDUM TO: PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: BRIAN PEDROTTI, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR BY: ROBIN DICKERSON, PE, CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: PROJECT UPDATE OF THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP) D ATE: OCTOBER 19, 2021 SUMMARY OF ACTION: Consideration of a project update to the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) to the City Council will allow the City to continue to be eligible for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Funding, which requires an approved LRSP starting with Cycle 11 in 2022. The LRSP also identifies the top intersections and segments based on relative severity and provides a list of improvement projects and strategies to meet the goals of the Plan. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: Consideration of the project update will not impact financial or personnel resources. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the Planning Commission receive the project update and provide input on the LRSP to the City Council. BACKGROUND: In 2019 Caltrans announced that starting in April 2022, applications for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 11 funds will require a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP). In October 2019 the City Council authorized the City’s consultant, GHD to prepare an LRSP. In November 2019, a Stakeholders Working Group was established as part of the LRSP process. From December 2019 to April 2021 four meetings were held with the Stakeholders Working Group to formulate and finalize the LRSP. In May 2021 the City of Arroyo Grande completed the Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) with the assistance of a specialized consultant (GHD) (Attachment 1). The SSAR is a proactive safety approach that focuses on evaluating an entire roadway network using a defined set of criteria. The SSAR analyzes crash history on an aggregate basis to identify high-risk roadway characteristics, rather than looking at high-collision concentration locations through site analysis. The goal of the SSAR is to assist local Item 9.a - Page 1 PLANNING COMMISSION PROJECT UPDATE AND APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP) OCTOBER 19, 2021 PAGE 2 agencies to identify safety projects to submit for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding consideration. In September 2021 the LRSP was completed and is being presented to the Planning Commission for consideration and suggested input to the Council. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: The HSIP is a Federal-aid program that incorporates a data-driven, strategic approach to improving highway safety that focuses on performance. The California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) provides a strategic direction for the State's safety investment decisions, and the HSIP supports and finances projects specifically targeting roadway and intersection locations by identifying and implementing countermeasures to improve the safety of the roadways. In 2019 Caltrans notified local agencies that the starting in 2022 (Cycle 11), an approved LRSP will be required with all future HSIP applications. The LRSP utilizes a Vision Zero approach which is significantly different from the traditional approach. Vision Zero is a strategy which strives to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all. Traditionally, traffic fatalities and severe injuries have been considered inevitable side effects of modern life. The reality is that these tragedies can be addressed over time by taking a proactive, preventative approach that prioritizes traffic safety as a public health issue. Figure 1 below provides a comparison of the traditional approach versus the Vision Zero approach. Figure 1 Traditional Approach vs. Vision Zero Approach TRADITIONAL APPROACH VISION ZERO APPROACH Traffic deaths are INEVITABLE Traffic deaths are PREVENTABLE PERFECT human behavior Integrated HUMAN FAILING Prevent COLLISIONS Prevent FATAL AND SEVERE COLLISIONS INDIVIDUAL responsibility SYSTEMS approach Saving lives is EXPENSIVE Saving lives is NOT EXPENSIVE The LRSP development process is broken down into six steps. The 6 steps are: 1) establishment of a Stakeholders Working Group, 2) analysis of safety data, 3) determine challenge/emphasis areas, 4) identify strategies, 5) prioritize and incorporate strategies, and 6) evaluate and update the plan. These strategies are further discussed below. Item 9.a - Page 2 PLANNING COMMISSION PROJECT UPDATE AND APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP) OCTOBER 19, 2021 PAGE 3 Stakeholders Working Group The LRSP is a data-driven process similar to the SSAR, except the LRSP includes a local Stakeholders Working Group that represents the 5E’s (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response and Emerging Technologies) to guide and develop the LRSP. The Stakeholders Working Group included staff representatives from Arroyo Grande Community Development, Police, and Public Works Departments; Five Cities Fire Authority, San Luis Obispo County, City of Grover Beach, City of Pismo Beach, Caltrans District 5, Lucia Mar Unified School District, San Luis Obispo Bike Club, and Bike SLO County. Preparing the LRSP facilitates local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements that contribute to the California’s SHSP overall vision and goals. This SHSP focuses on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions with focused challenger/emphasis areas. The LRSP is a collaborative process that builds on the collision analysis from the SSAR with a local Stakeholders Working Group and guides the formation of the plan. The holistic approach of engaging stakeholders and the community in the development of the LRSP allows certain areas of concern without a crash pattern to be analyzed. It also fosters, local, state, and agency partnerships to advance local road safety. The LRSP, through collaboration with the stakeholders working group, includes 12 goals and an established process for measuring the success of each goal. The 12 goals are as follows: 1. Reduce the potential for fatal and severe injury collisions Citywide. 2. Reduce the potential for rear-end collisions Citywide. 3. Reduce the potential for bicycle and pedestrian collisions Citywide. 4. Improve the health and vitality of our community with a safety plan that encourages safety for pedestrians and bicyclists that is targeted to Arroyo Grande’s local roadway needs. 5. Improve safety around schools with a connected multimodal system and improved crossings. 6. Increase walking, biking, and rolling (wheelchairs, skateboards, scooters, etc.) to the downtown district, to work, and to school. 7. Improve safety at uncontrolled intersection. 8. Increase driver and pedestrian education. 9. Reduce distractive driving. 10. Improve bicycle safety with additional bikeways and green bike lanes for vehicle to bicycle conflict areas. 11. Increase traffic enforcement. 12. Receive grant funding for LRSP identified projects. Analysis of Safety Data Focusing on the roadway safety needs, the Stakeholders Working Group evaluated collision data available in the SSAR from 2014 to 2018, and then included an additional two years of data from 2019 to 2020. From 2014 to 2020 there were a total of 276 Item 9.a - Page 3 PLANNING COMMISSION PROJECT UPDATE AND APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP) OCTOBER 19, 2021 PAGE 4 collisions including 5 fatalities and 18 severe injuries. Broadside collisions were the most common type of collision (accounting for 84 collisions) followed by rear end collisions at 76 collisions. The top violation category was unsafe speed accounting for 59 collisions, followed by automobile right of way at 51 collisions. Based on the collision data the top locations and segments have been identified. Challenges/Emphasis Areas The next step in the LRSP process was to determine the challenge or emphasis areas. The California SHSP identifies 16 challenge/emphasis areas for development of the LRSP. Based on the LRSP Stakeholders Working Group recommendations, the LRSP will focus on multiple SHSP challenge areas, including but not limited to bicyclists, intersections, pedestrians, distracted driving, aggressive driving/speeding, emerging technologies, and emergency response. Due to the challenges of COVID over the past two years, public outreach was provided using a Social Pinpoint website in lieu of traditional outreach. Comments pertaining to speeding, pedestrian improvements, and bicycle improvements were received from the interactive map, and detailed results can be found in Appendix A of Exhibit A of Attachment 1 of the LRSP. Strategies, Prioritization and Incorporation Based on the collision data, input from the Stakeholders Working Group, and public input from the Social Pinpoint website, a list of improvement projects was developed, prioritized and incorporated into the plan. The Engineering Strategies for the plan include pedestrian improvements at signalized intersection, non-pedestrian improvements at signalized intersections, pedestrian improvements at uncontrolled locations, bike lane improvements along segments, road diet, signage improvements, curve related improvements, striping and pavement marking improvements and speed management. A full list of improvements and locations can be found in the LRSP. (See Exhibit A of Attachment 1.) To complete the remaining 4 E’s, the following strategies are incorporated into the plan. Education Strategies include various education campaigns targeting pedestrians, drivers, bicyclists and students. Emerging technologies include bicycle and video detection, use of changeable message signs, the use of a data collector for speed and traffic volumes and updating older technologies. Enforcement includes the addition of the full time motorcycle officer and part time motorcycle officer, targeted speed enforcement, and DUI saturation patrols. The final strategy, Emergency Response, includes smart phone apps designed to empower everyday citizens to save a life. Letters of support from both Caltrans – District 5 and Lucia Mar Unified School District have been received and are incorporated into Appendix A of Exhibit A of Attachment 1. Item 9.a - Page 4 PLANNING COMMISSION PROJECT UPDATE AND APPROVAL OF THE LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP) OCTOBER 19, 2021 PAGE 5 Implementation, Evaluation and Update In evaluating how to implement safety projects, a prioritized list of projects has been developed and can be found in Appendix C of Exhibit A of Attachment 1. Staff will look for opportunities to incorporate safety enhancements with the Capital Improvement Program. Obtaining funding for these projects will be the key to implementation. Additional funding opportunities can come through grant funding including but not limited to HSIP, Active Transportation Program (ATP), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Safe Routes to Schools, and Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants (also known as Sustainable Communities). To evaluate the success of the plan, yearly collision analysis and requested feedback will need to be compared to the established goals. The goals shall be updated and modified based on future data and feedback. The LRSP is a living document and will guide the City’s roadway safety needs for the next five years. Council approval of the LRSP will allow staff to seek funding and implement improvement projects and strategies identified in the plan, and assist in achieving the goals as stated above. ADVANTAGES: The LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze local safety problems and recommended safety Improvements for future HSIP funding and other available funding sources. The LRSP also provides the City with a prioritized list of improvements, strategies, and actions that contribute to the California’s SHSP overall visions and goals. Implementing the improvement projects and strategies identified in the LRSP will allow the City to achieve the goals set forth in the plan. DISADVANTAGES: Funding sources will be needed for the implementation of the improvements and actions. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The SSAR and LRSP do not require environmental review. In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is categorically exempt per section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility of a significant effect on the environment, an activity is not subject to CEQA. Each project completed will evaluate environmental impacts on a project-by-project basis. The individual projects developed from the SSAR and LRSP will include the necessary environmental reviews and studies. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS: The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2. At the time of report publication, no comments have been received.

Walter Item 9.a - Page 8 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page i Executive Summary Arroyo Grande was awarded funding from Caltrans for the Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) in 2016 for analysis of the entire roadway system for high-risk roadway characteristics. Furthermore, the City of Arroyo Grande’s goal was to identify infrastructure improvement countermeasures that mitigate the City’s primary crash type trend which includes rear-ends, sideswipes, pedestrian/bicycle, and broadsides. Based on the City’s SSARP application, this SSAR addresses three (3) Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge Areas including: 1. Intersections, Interchanges, and Other Roadway Access 2. Pedestrians 3. Bicycling Based on our analysis, the following projects (Exhibit 1) are recommended for the focused study locations. All have a benefit to cost ratio of 4 or higher and would be competitive for the next Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Cycle 10 call for projects that is tentatively set for the end of April 2020. In addition, all countermeasures are low cost and could be applied systemically.

Introduction The Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program’s (SSARP) objective is to perform a collision analysis based on a focused approach in identifying safety issues and develop a possible list of low-cost countermeasures that can be competitive for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding. Since the focus was citywide, specific study locations were not identified. The four objectives in performing the systemic safety analysis were as follows: 1. Identify Focus Crash Types and Risk Factors; 2. Screen and Prioritize Candidate Locations; 3. Select Potential Low-Cost Countermeasures; and 4. Prioritize Projects per Benefit-Cost Ratios This analysis included the evaluation of the past 5 years (2014-2018) of collisions for the study locations in identifying fatal and severe injury collisions (F+SI), high-risk roadway characteristics, and high crash rate locations. In addition, the SSARP application included the expected scope of work and focused challenge areas desired to accomplish this task. Per the SSARP application, the scope of work was as follows:  Perform an analysis of the entire roadway system to identify high-risk roadway characteristics as opposed to analyzing high collision area. It was further stated that the City of Arroyo Grande was not experiencing high collision concentrations at specific locations due to having lower volumes on the roadway network.  Use crash data obtained by Arroyo Grande Police Department and map to identify high risk locations and characteristics.  Identify infrastructure improvement countermeasures that mitigate the City’s primary crash type trends which include rear-ends, sideswipes, pedestrian/bicycle, and broadsides. In addition, the identified three focus challenge areas were as follows: 1. Intersections, Interchanges, and Other Roadway Access 2. Pedestrians 3. Bicycling The focused challenge areas were used to further analyze the collisions in evaluating possible systemic low-cost countermeasures. Item 9.a - Page 13 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 2 1.1 Study Locations The SSAR evaluated the roadway network citywide in identifying roadway segments and intersections for a focused analysis. The roadway segments and intersections are further defined below. Due to it being a citywide analysis, there were too many segments and intersections to list. The roadway segments between intersections with collisions were evaluated and then ranked. Intersection were defined as 150’ on each leg. Even though at some locations the influence area might be more or less, the 150’ appeared to be the average length for the majority of intersections. Collision density maps were first created in identifying the high frequency locations within the city and then further collision maps were made to include the collision severity and type. 2. Safety Assessment The past five complete years of collision data (2014-2018) was downloaded from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database for the study locations. This data was then cross checked with the injury collisions in the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) and the City of Arroyo Grande’s collision database. The collisions were then all cross-check and reconciled in completing the most complete set of collision data. In addition, supplemental reports were examined to see if any collisions were upgraded to a fatality after the initial collision record (per California’s Collision Investigation Manual a fatal injury is “death as a result of injuries sustained in a collision, or an injury resulting in death within 30 days of a collision”). After completing this process; the collisions were assessed based on high risk, crash frequency, and focused challenge areas. 2.1 Collision Analysis Collision analysis was performed for all roadways in the City of Arroyo Grande without including the US 101 mainline collisions. In addition, the collisions for the US 101 interchanges were evaluated separately. As presented in Figure 2.1, the collision density for the citywide collisions for the past 5 years (2014-2018) without the US 101 interchange collisions were mapped in identifying the high risk segments and intersections. Per the collision density map you start to identify roadway segments and intersections with higher collision frequency along: E. Grand Avenue, E. Branch Street, W. Branch Street, Fair Oaks Avenue, Halcyon Road, and El Camino Real. In delving into the fatal and injury collisions, another crash density map was created with only the fatal and injury collision. As presented in Figure 2.2 is the density map for the fatal and injury collisions. There were three (3) fatal collisions. Two fatalities involved pedestrians crossing at a mid- block location (across E. Branch Street at Short Street in 2017 and across Grand Avenue at Bell Street in 2018) and one fatality was a single vehicle collision on El Camino Real (the collision notes cited DUI) in 2018.

The quantification of these collisions is shown by section below. In addition, further visual representation of the collisions via ArcGIS maps are located in Appendix A: Collision Maps. 2.1.1 Roadway Segments In evaluating the citywide roadway segments, the past 5 years of collision data was evaluated on roadways with the intersection related collisions removed. As presented in Figure 2.3, the majority of collisions are property damage only (PDO) at 87.4%. With injury related collisions, comprising of the remaining 12.7%. There was one single vehicle fatal collision and four severe injury (SI) collisions. Figure 2.3 Roadway Segments – Overall Collision Severity As presented in Figure 2.4, the overall collision types for all roadway segments is shown as a percentage of the total. Rear end and other/unknown collisions were the most common collisions at 24% each, followed by sideswipe collisions at 17%. Rear end collisions are typical when there is speed differential, congestion, and vehicles turning in the through lanes. The other/unknown collisions can be collisions where the type was not recorded or the type of collision didn’t fit the categories per the California Highway Patrol reporting manual. Sideswipe collisions can be due to improper lane change, lane departure, or insufficient lane delineation. 0.2%0.7% 5.3% 6.4% 87.4% Fatal Severe Injury Other Visibile InjuryComplaint of Pain PDO Item 9.a - Page 17 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 6 Figure 2.4 Roadway Segments – Overall Collision Type In evaluating the top five (5) roadway segment violation categories they were as follows: 1. Unknown (58%) 2. Unsafe Speed (10%) 3. Improper Turning (8%) 4. Auto Right of Way (7%) 5. Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/ Biking Under the Influence (BUI) (5%) The majority of “unknown” violation category is due to the City collisions that didn’t have overlap with SWITRS. These additional collisions received from the City’s Collision Database had limited fields and information and were mostly PDO collisions. The next top roadway violation categories were close in percentage with unsafe speed (10%), improper turning (8%), and auto right of way violations (7%). DUI/BUI violations comprised on 5% of the overall roadway collisions. 4% 17% 24% 13% 16% 1% 1% 24% Head On Sideswipe Rear End Broadside Hit Object Overturned Vehicle/ Pedestrian Other/ Unknown Item 9.a - Page 18 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 7 2.1.2 Intersections Figure 2.5 presents the overall collision severity for the intersections, citywide. There were 2 fatalities (pedestrian and vehicle collisions) and 7 severe injury collisions. In evaluating the collisions for the past 5 years, the majority of collisions comprised of PDOs at 84.8% with 15.2% injury collisions. Figure 2.5 Intersections – Overall Collision Severity Figure 2.6 displays the citywide collision types for the intersections as a percentage of the total. The top five collision types and overall percentage are as follows: 1. Rear End (26%) 2. Sideswipe (20%) 3. Broadside (21%) 4. Hit Object (13%) 5. Other (13%) Read end collisions are typically caused with the speed differential and traffic control changes. Sideswipe collisions at an intersection can be due to intersection lane changes or offset lanes through an intersection. Broadside are typically caused by turning vehicles not yielding the right of way and hit object collision can be due to objects within the clear zone. 0.2%0.7% 5.5% 8.8% 84.8% Fatal Severe Injury Other Visibile Injury Complaint of Pain PDO Item 9.a - Page 19 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 8 Figure 2.6 Intersections – Overall Collision Type In evaluating the top five violation categories for intersection collisions, the following percentages were derived as follows: 1. Unknown (31%) 2. Improper Turning (14%) 3. Auto R/W (14%) 4. Unsafe Speed (13%) 5. DUI/ BUI (6%) In comparing the roadway segments and intersection violation categories, they both have the same top five categories with similar percentages. For the citywide intersections, unknown was the majority with 31%, followed by improper turning and auto R/W collisions at 14% each, unsafe speed 13%, and DUI/ BUI at 6 %. 2.2 Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions with Vehicles Per the SSARP grant, pedestrian and bicycle collisions with vehicles were a focus challenge area. In evaluating these collisions types, the severity of collisions was quantified by roadway segment collisions and intersection relation collisions. As presented in Tables 2.1 and 2.2, the pedestrian and bicycle collisions are quantified by severity for roadway segments and intersections, respectively. There were significantly more pedestrian and bicycle collisions at the intersections 5% 20% 26%21% 13% 1% 2%13% Head On Sideswipe Rear End Broadside Hit Object Overturned Vehicle/ Pedestrian Other/ Unknown Item 9.a - Page 20 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 9 than the segments.

Prioritization Per the past five years of collision analysis, the overall ranking and prioritization of collision locations was quantified by recommended methodologies in AASHTO’s, Highway Safety Manual 2010 with 2014 Supplement (HSM). These methodologies included Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) method and crash rates. Per the ranking methodologies, the top roadway segments and intersections were identified by EPDO and crash rate ranking. 3.1 EPDO Crash Methodology The Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) average crash ranking methodology was used for this study. The EPDO method assigns weighting factors to collisions by severity to develop a combined frequency and severity score per site. The weighting factors are calculated relative to Property Damage Only (PDO) collision cost. Collision costs include both direct and indirect costs. Direct crash costs include ambulance service, police and fire s ervices, property damage, insurance, and other costs directly related to the crashes. Indirect collision costs account for the value society would place on pain and suffering or loss of life associated with the crash. Table 3.1 provides a summary of the comprehensive costs and weighting assigned to collisions by severity. Table 3.1 Comprehensive Costs and EPDO Weights (2018 dollars) Severity Comprehensive Costs EPDO Weight Fatal (K) $6,418,400 544 Severe Injury (A) $345,800 30 Minor Injury (B) $126,500 11 Non-Visible Injury (C) $71,900 6 PDO (O) $11,800 1 Based on Table 7-1, Highway Safety Manual, 2010, Adjusted to 2018 dollars. In evaluating the citywide locations with collisions, EPDO Ranking was performed for roadway segments and intersections. Section 3.2 presents the top five locations for roadway segments and intersections and corresponding collisions. El Camino Real from Oak Park Boulevard to Brisco Road was the top ranked segment and E. Branch Street at Short Street was the top ranked intersection. 3.2 EPDO Ranking Results Top 5 Roadway Segment Locations: 1. El Camino Real – Oak Park Boulevard to Brisco Road (EPDO 594) • 12 total, 1 fatal single vehicle collision and 1-severe injury (SI) collision 2. E.

Oak Park Boulevard (EPDO 91) • 32 total, 5 injury (1-SI), 1 bicycle collision 5. The Pike and S. Halcyon Road (EPDO 82) • 18 total, 6 injury collisions (1-SI), 12 PDO 3.1 Crash Rate Methodology In further ranking of the citywide locations, crash rates were calculated for the roadway segments and the intersections. In calculating the crash rates, Average Daily Traffic (ADT) data was collected in the field by a subcontractor on the week of November 11, 2019 on a typical weekday, when schools were in session. Further information on traffic counts and crash rate calculations are located in Appendix B: Traffic Analysis and Collision Analysis. Segment crash rates are calculated as the number of crashes that occur at on a given segment during a specified time period, divided by a measure of exposure for that same period. This accounts for the segment length and the Average Daily Traffic (AADT) on the segment normalized to one million miles of travel, commonly referred to as Million Vehicle Miles (MVM) of travel. Intersection crash rates are calculated by the total crashes at the intersection during a specific time period, divided by a measure of exposure for that same period. Intersections make use of a similar scaling factor, Million Entering Vehicles (MEV), which accounts for the total number of vehicles entering the intersection and is also normalized to one million vehicles. Per the crash rate ranking, Section 3.2 show the top five locations for roadway segments and intersections. Bridge Street from Traffic Way to E. Branch Street was the ranked top segment and Traffic Way at Allen Street was the top ranked intersection. 3.2 Crash Rate Ranking Per the crash rate methodology, the top five segments and intersections were ranked.

These locations are as follows:  Traffic Way and Allen Street (Ranked 1 Crash Rate) was quantified before the traffic signal at Traffic Way and Fair Oaks was installed in 2019. Further analysis will be conducted in the Local Road Safety Plan.  Valley Road and Castillo Del Mar (Ranked 2 Crash Rate) will have new perpendicular alignment with Valley Road. This improvement will remove the current skewed intersection and requires additional land which is already purchased. Construction tentatively starts in in late spring 2021.  The Pike and Halcyon Road (Ranked 5 EPDO, Ranked 6 Crash Rate) is now an all way stop control (AWSC). It was converted to an AWSC in 2019 and therefore this change is not reflected in the collision analysis. A before and after study will need to be conducted to see if the safety issues were remediated with AWSC. Bridge Street from Traffic Way to E. Branch Street – (Ranked 10 EPDO) does have an improvement project from the bridge but due to the two access points on Traffic Way (one for two- way traffic and one access for the mailboxes) this segment was left in for analysis since the improvement project will not reconfigure the roadways near Traffic Way that are experiencing a trend in sideswipe collisions. In addition, there is an interchange project planned at US 101 and Brisco Road. Since this project is a few years off from being designed and constructed, the closely spaced City intersections in proximity to the interchange were left in for evaluation of low-cost systemic safety countermeasures. 4. Safety Data Analysis Safety data analysis was performed to further diagnosis the cause of collisions and any collision trends in selecting safety countermeasure to mitigate those trends. This methodology followed the HSM and Caltrans’ Local Road Safety Manual, Version 1.4, April 2018 and involved roadway assessment and a quantitative analysis. 4.1 Collision Diagnosis GHD conducted a field reconnaissance of top ranked City intersection and roadway segments in November, December 2019 and January and February 2020. Google Maps was also initially used in quantifying some of the intersection and segment characteristics. Prior to the field assessment, GHD worked to understand the collision history by reviewing the corridor collision summaries, intersection collision summaries, and all locations where fatalities and severe injuries occurred within the study period. Identifying collision patterns within the data helped our team gain perspective and look for potential deficiencies at each location. Various heat maps Item 9.a - Page 28 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 17 were created and used to locate areas with a high density of specific collision types to further narrow down areas of concern. Furthermore, our team also looked at existing traffic control devices present (signals, signs, flashing beacons, etc.) and potential countermeasures already implemented. Additional information and notes from the field reconnaissance are located in Appendix B: Traffic Analysis and Collision Analysis. 4.2 Quantitative Analysis After the citywide roadway segments and intersections were identified, three locations were screened out due to new traffic control or future improvements. Tables 4.1 and 4.2 show the selected locations for roadway and intersection locations with a summary of the quantitative analysis performed to include collision severity, collision frequency, EPDO ranking, and crash rate ranking.

Safety Countermeasures Per Caltrans, Division of Local Assistance, Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) Guidelines, February 2016, the following low-cost systemic safety countermeasures were identified for roadway segments and intersections in the City. These countermeasures and their overall crash reduction percentages are as follows: Roadway Segment Countermeasures:  Install/Upgrade signs with new fluorescent sheeting (regulatory or warning (R26) o 15% crash reduction to all crash types  Install chevron signs on horizontal curves (R27) o 40% crash reduction to all crash types  Install curve advance warning signs (R28) o 25% crash reduction to all crash types  Install dynamic speed feedback signs (R30) o 30% crash reduction to all crash types  Install delineators, reflectors and other object markers (R31) o 15% crash reduction to all crash types  Install edge lines and centerlines (R32) o 25% crash reduction to all crash types  Install bike lanes (R36) o 35% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types Non-Signalized Intersections:  Install Raised medians/refuge islands (NS16) o 45% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types  Install Pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations (signs and markings only) (NS17) o 25% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types  Install Pedestrian crossing at uncontrolled locations with enhanced safety features (RFFB, curb extensions, etc.) (NS18) o 35% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types  Install Pedestrian signal or HAWK (NS19) o 55% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types Item 9.a - Page 34 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 23 Signalized Intersections:  Improve signal hardware: lenses, back-plates, mounting, size, and number (S2) o 15% crash reduction to all crash types  Improve signal timing (coordination, phase, red, yellow, or operation) (S3) o 15% crash reduction to all crash types  Provide protected left turn phase (left turn lane already exists) (S6) o 30% crash reduction to all crash types  Install raised pavement markers and striping (through intersections ) (S8) o 10% crash reduction to all crash types  Install pedestrian countdown signal heads (S19) o 25% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types  Install leading pedestrian interval (S22) o 60% crash reduction to bicycle and pedestrian crash types In addition, Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) has proven safety countermeasures for mitigating collision trends. These countermeasures are presented in Figure 5.1. Item 9.a - Page 35 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 24 Figure 5.1 FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures 5.1 Roadway Segments – Safety Countermeasures In selecting the appropriate safety countermeasure for the roadway segments, countermeasures that were successful in mitigating the majority of collisions and reduce overall collision severity were recommended for each roadway segment and intersection that identified in Section 4. 5.1.1 Recommended Roadway Countermeasures As presented in Table 5.1, the identified top ranking roadway segments and the recommended safety countermeasure were quantified. This could be a combination of countermeasures. Item 9.a - Page 36 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 25 Table 5.1 Roadway Segments Safety Countermeasures It is recommended that some of these countermeasures, such as striping, be incorporated with pavement rehabilitation projects.

HSIP Application The City of Arroyo Grande submitted a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant application for Cycle 10. The application was for set-aside funding for pedestrian crossing enhancements at the following three locations: 1. Uncontrolled pedestrian crosswalk on the west leg of E. Grand Avenue and Alder Street 2. School crosswalk across Farroll Avenue at S. Halcyon Road 3. School crosswalk on the south leg of S. Halcyon Road at Sandalwood Avenue Overall, the project descriptions are to generally improve the three existing crosswalks with ADA curb ramps, a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon for the uncontrolled crossing on E. Grand Avenue, curb extensions for the existing crossing on S. Halcyon Road, yield lines, high-visibility crosswalks, and striping and pavement markings. The preliminary design plans for the HSIP application are in Appendix E: HSIP Cycle 10 Plans. These locations were identified based on SSAR and Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) that is currently in the public outreach process. Based on the LRSP stakeholder group comprised of City staff, Arroyo Grande Police Department, Five Cities Fire Authority, San Luis Obispo Bike Club, Lucia Mar Unified School District, SLO County, Caltrans, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach, uncontrolled pedestrian crossings are one of the main safety issues in the City (where fatal and severe injury pedestrian to vehicle collisions were occurring). Therefore, the LRSP working group made it a priority to have a greater focus on uncontrolled crosswalks within the City. The locations in the application were identified based on their deficiencies and use, priority corridors, and collision analysis. The City has also received several messages or testimonies from concerned citizens who use the crossings on a regular basis. In addition, the two crosswalks on Halcyon Road have been identified for these improvements per the Halcyon Complete Streets Plan, April 2018. This complete street plan had significant outreach but has no current funding so getting some identified improvements implemented in the field will help to bring momentum to the ultimate project. The award for HSIP Cycle 10 funding should be announced March 31st but was not known when the SSAR was finalized. Item 9.a - Page 40 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 29 7. Next Steps – Local Road Safety Plan The City of Arroyo Grande is currently conducting a Local Road Safety Plan in building on the SSAR collision analysis and systemic safety countermeasures. A Stakeholder Working group was formed and consists of the following agencies and organizations: 1. City of Arroyo Grande  Engineering  Public Works  Planning  Community Development  Maintenance 2. Police Department 3. Five Cities Fire Authority 4. Lucia Mar Unified School District 5. Bike SLO County 6. San Luis Obispo Bike Club 7. Safe Routes to School Coordinator 8. City of Pismo Beach 9. City of Grover Beach 10. San Luis Obispo County 11. Caltrans Three stakeholder meetings have been held in guiding the development of the LRSP and we are currently in the public outreach process. A website has been developed in soliciting public feedback and this website has an interactive map where the public can pinpoint their concerns and a survey in gathering City specific safety information. After the public outreach process, another Stakeholder meeting with be held in April 2021. A discussion of the public comments and recommended countermeasures/safety projects will be the focus of this meeting. After this meeting, the Draft LRSP will be prepared for Stakeholder comments. A LRSP builds on the data driven process with an agency specific stakeholder group that guides the development of the plan and recommends other ways to improve safety beyond engineering countermeasures to include enforcement, emergency response, education, and emerging technologies. In complimenting the SHSP, the LRSP is focused on identifying countermeasures for the 5 Traffic Safety E’s (see Figure 7.1). This collaborative and holistic process also engages the public through outreach, which is key to capturing the near misses or safety concerns before they have documented collision issues. This overall framework provides a proactive systemic approach in improving safety citywide and positions the City for future grant funding with the prioritized safety projects and goals adopted by City Council.

Conclusions GHD has prepared this Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) for the City of Arroyo Grande. The report consists of detailed historical collision analysis and field observations. These safety issues were then matched to a set of low-cost systemic safety countermeasures and quantified per the HSIP calculator. This calculator quantifies the overall benefit in quantifying the reduction of crashes through Crash Modification Factors (CMF) for the safety countermeasures. In addition, based on recent project costs and Caltrans District 5 unit costs, each project had a preliminary planning cost estimate completed. For HSIP applications, further engineering is needed to include preliminary design and 30% cost estimating will need to be performed. More details into the cost estimate and overall benefit and cost are included in the HSIP analyzer worksheets located in Appendix D: HSIP Analyzer Worksheet. With a systemic approach that makes use of high impact, low-cost countermeasures, GHD submits the following focused list as presented in Table 6.1. These projects are intended to be competitive for the next cycle (Cycle 10) in the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Table 8.1 Recommended HSIP Projects Item 9.a - Page 43 GHD | Arroyo Grande SSAR Final Report | R1989RPT001 | Page 32 In addition, to the focused projects above you can apply the recommended countermeasures systemically to the roadways and intersections with similar risk characteristics and collisions. Table 6.2 presents the suggested lists of low-cost engineering countermeasures that could be applied systemically throughout the City of Arroyo Grande. Table 8.2 Recommended Systematic HSIP Projects 8.1 Next Steps The City of Arroyo Grande is currently conducting a Local Road Safety Plan. This plan is being guided by a Stakeholder Working Group consisting of City staff, Arroyo Grande Police Department, Five Cities Fire Authority, San Luis Obispo Bike Club, Lucia Mar Unified School District, SLO County, Caltrans, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach. The LRSP is currently in the public outreach process and a Draft LRSP is anticipated to be completed in June 2021.

The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze local safety problems and recommend safety improvements for future Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding and other available funding sources. Preparing an LRSP facilitates local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that contribute to California’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) overall vision and goals. This SHSP focuses on reducing fatal and severe injury collisions with focused challenge/emphasis areas. The LRSP is a collaborative process that will build on the collision analysis from the Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) with a local leadership stakeholder group that represents the 5 E’s (shown below) and guides the formation of the plan. The LRSP helps to address the 5Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies. In 2016, Arroyo Grande was awarded funding from Caltrans for the Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) for analysis of the City’s entire roadway system. Per the upcoming HSIP Cycle 11 requirements, the City of Arroyo Grande added a Local Road Safety Plan to the process to be eligible for future funding. This holistic approach of engaging stakeholders and the community in the development, allows certain areas of concern not showing a crash pattern to be analyzed. Also, it fosters local, state, and agency partnerships to advance local road safety. In following the overall LRSP process, a Stakeholder Working Group (Working Group) was formed with the City as the lead with participation from local organizations from the 5 E’s and anyone with an interest in improving the City’s roadway safety. This group gathered for meetings to discuss the overall collision analysis, goals, priorities, safety recommendations, and overall development of the safety plan. In addition, after completion of the plan, support letters were provided by Caltrans and Lucia Del Mar Unified School District (see Appendix A). Based on the Working Group Meetings, this LRSP will address multiple SHSP Challenge Areas including but not limited to: 1. Bicyclists Item 9.a - Page 92 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page iv 2. Intersections 3. Pedestrians 4. Distracted Driving 5. Aggressive Driving/Speeding In addition, the vision, mission statement, and goals were established in guiding the development of the LRSP. It was also decided that the LRSP for the City of Arroyo Grande would be a living document with official updates every five (5) years. Based on the input from the Working Group, this LRSP recommends the following strategies for the focused study locations and Citywide systemic applications for the 5 E’s of Traffic Safety. 1. Engineering: Apply low-cost safety countermeasures at current locations experiencing collisions and systemically at locations with similar risks (comprehensive approach). 2. Enforcement: Enforce actions that reduce high-risk behaviors to include speeding, distracted roadway usage, and Driving Under the Influence (DUI). 3. Education: Educate all road users on safe behaviors. 4. Emergency Response: Improve emergency response times and actions. 5. Emerging Technologies: Utilize emerging technologies in conveying and collecting information from the roadway users in an effort to improve safety and operations. In addition, it is important to understand the upcoming funding opportunities in the successful implementation of these safety projects. Funding opportunities include but not limited to: 1. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) – Call typically every 2 years. Last call (cycle 10) started in April 2020 and ended November 2, 2020 (extended due to COVID-19) a. Next call HSIP Cycle 11 is schedule to start in April 2022 2. Active Transportation Program (ATP) a. Next call for funding projects is scheduled to start in March 2022 3. Safe Routes to School grants 4. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program 5. Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant (Sustainable Communities) 6. Other funding sources are Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) and Federal Highway Administration Item 9.a - Page 93 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page v Table of Contents 1.

Introduction In 2016, the City of Arroyo Grande was successful in receiving a Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP) grant from Caltrans’ Local Assistance. Per the City’s leadership direction and upcoming requirements for HSIP grant funding, a Local Road Safety Plan was appended to this effort. The LRSP builds off the safety analysis and engineering performed in the Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) to create a comprehensive and holistic Citywide safety plan. The LRSP is a data-driven process similar to the process for the SSAR except a LRSP has a local leadership group that represents the 5 E’s (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies) to guide the development of the plan. The LRSP included a Citywide analysis of the roadway system in Arroyo Grande comprising the current collisions patterns and high-risk roadway characteristics (systemic analysis), and recommended safety improvements for the other E’s. Furthermore, the City of Arroyo Grande’s goal is to identify safety countermeasures to help mitigate the City’s primary crash trends, reduce the overall collision severity, and identify locations with higher safety risks that do not currently experience a collision issue but could benefit from safety improvements. The Federal Highway Administration’s LRSP development process is shown in Figure 1.1. At the kick-off meeting the leadership team was established to guide the development of the Local Road Safety Plan. Figure 1.1 The LRSP Development Process Robin Dickerson, City Engineer, was identified as the Safety Champion/Lead for this project, working with a stakeholder working group that represented the other E’s (enforcement, education, emergency response, and emerging technologies) and other important safety partners. This stakeholder working group was paramount in creating a comprehensive safety plan that is tailored to address local needs and issues.   Item 9.a - Page 98 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 2 2. Background 2.1 Purpose and Need The City of Arroyo Grande has a current population of approximately 18,000 and is part of the 5 Cities region in San Luis Obispo County. The 5 Cities region is made up of Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano, and Shell Beach with a total population of approximately 48,000. Arroyo Grande has a mix of local, commuter, and recreational traffic with a variety of different road users including passenger cars, heavy vehicles (buses, large trucks, and farming equipment related to the agricultural industry), bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit. Focusing on the roadway safety needs, the stakeholder group evaluated five (5) years of collision data from the SSAR (2014-2018) and an additional two (2) years (2019-2020) of data. From 2014 to 2020, there were 5 fatal and 18 severe injury collisions on City streets. Collision severity for fatal and severe injury (FSI) collisions in years 2014-2020 is shown in Table 2.1. During the study period, year 2019 had the most FSI collision (2 fatal and 6 severe injuries, 8 total FSI). Followed by, 2017 with the second highest FSI collisions (1 fatal and 5 severe injuries, 6 total FSI). All other years during the study period had three (3) or less FSI collisions.

The primary collision types for FSI collisions are broadside and vehicle-pedestrian collisions. The primary violation categories for FSI collisions are DUI/BUI, Traffic Signal/Signs violations, and Unknown. 2.2 Guiding Principles – Vision, Mission, Goals The members of the stakeholder working group established the vision, mission statement, and goals that guided the development of the document. Ideally, this document will help the City move toward Vision Zero. Vison Zero is a strategy which strives to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all. Traditionally traffic fatalities and severe injuries have been considered inevitable side effects of modern life. The reality is that these tragedies can be addressed over time by taking a proactive, preventative approach that prioritizes traffic safety as a public health issue. To do so, bicycle and pedestrian safety will be prioritized by focusing on uncontrolled crossing improvements and public education. 2.2.1 Vision Zero Vision Zero is a significant departure from the status quo in two major ways:  Vision Zero recognizes that people will sometimes make mistakes, so the road system and related policies should be designed to minimize those inevitable mistakes and reduce their likeliness to result in severe injuries or fatalities. This means that system designers and policymakers are expected to improve the roadway environment, policies (such as speed management), and other related systems to lessen the severity of crashes. Roadway users are however still responsible for their mistakes and should follow all applicable laws and use reasonable judgement when conducting themselves within the public right of way.  Vision Zero is a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together diverse and necessary stakeholders to address this complex problem. In the past, meaningful, cross-disciplinary collaboration among local traffic planners and engineers, policymakers, and public health professionals has not occurred consistently. Vision Zero acknowledges that many factors contribute to safe mobility -- roadway design, speeds, behaviors, technology, and policies -- and sets clear goals to achieve the shared goal of zero fatalities and severe injuries. Figure 2.1 provides a comparison of the traditional approach versus the Vision Zero approach. Item 9.a - Page 100 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 4 Figure 2.1 Traditional Approach vs. Vision Zero 2.2.2 Vision The vision statement describes what the Local Road Safety Plan is trying to achieve. 2.2.3 Mission Statement The mission statement defines the purpose of the plan, what it does, and what it is about. The mission statement was developed in collaboration with the stakeholder working group. 2.2.4 Goals Safety goals were development for the Local Road Safety Plan. It is important to capture realistic goals that can be measurable or evolve over time. The LRSP’s goals were created based on the City’s needs. Plan Goals  Reduce the potential for fatal and severe injury collisions Citywide  Reduce the potential for rear end collisions Citywide Arroyo Grande will provide a safe, efficient, and sustainable multimodal transportation system for all users of the public roadways in the City of Arroyo Grande. Arroyo Grande will develop a comprehensive safety plan with engagement of stakeholders and citizens that encourages improved safety for all users, regardless of age or ability, whether it is walking, biking, rolling, and driving – because every person in our community matters. TRADITIONAL APPROACH Traffic deaths are INEVITABLE PERFECT human behavior Prevent COLLISIONS INDIVIDUAL Responsibility Saving lives is EXPENSIVE VISION ZERO Traffic deaths are PREVENTABLE Integrate HUMAN FAILING in approach Prevent FATAL AND SEVERE COLLISIONS SYSTEMS approach Saving lives is NOT EXPENSIVE VS Item 9.a - Page 101 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 5  Reduce the potential for bicycle and pedestrian collisions Citywide  Improve the health and vitality of our community with a safety plan that encourages safety for pedestrians and bicyclists targeted to Arroyo Grande’s local roadway needs  Improve safety around schools with a connected multimodal system and improved crossings  Increase walking, biking, rolling (stroller, walker, wheelchair, skateboard, scooter, etc.) to the downtown district, to work, and to school  Improve safety at uncontrolled crossings  Increase driver and pedestrian education  Reduce distracted driving  Improve bike safety with additional bikeways and green bike lanes for vehicle to bicycle conflict areas  Increase traffic enforcement  Receive grant funding for LRSP identified projects 3. Safety Partners and Stakeholders At the project kick off meeting, the different safety partners to engage in the LRSP Stakeholder Working Group were discussed. These stakeholders included City representatives from various departments (Community Development, Public Works, and Police), fire, school district, bicycle and pedestrian groups, and roadway jurisdictional partners. Based on the City’s connections and current working relationship with the identified stakeholders, the working group formation was led by the City. The LRSP Stakeholder Working Group included the following representatives:  City of Arroyo Grande  Caltrans, District 5  County of San Luis Obispo  City of Pismo Beach  City of Grover Beach  Arroyo Grande Police Department  Five Cities Fire Authority  Lucia Mar Unified School District  San Luis Obispo Bike Club  Bike SLO County Item 9.a - Page 102 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 6 GHD worked with the City staff and the LRSP working group to come up with a vision, mission statement, and goals that support California’s State Highway Strategic Plan (SHSP). The goals developed through this process aim for results consistent with the City’s vision for safety and are realistic, achievable, and measurable. Identified future projects will aim to meet these goals. In addition, Caltrans and Lucia Mar Unified School District provided support letters for the LRSP. These letters are in Appendix A: Stakeholder and Public Input. 3.1 SHSP Challenge Areas The LRSP will complement California’s SHSP 2020-2024. The California SHSP identifies 16 challenge areas as shown in Figure 3.1 below. These challenge areas are recommended emphasis areas in the development of the plan. Figure 3.1 SHSP Challenge Areas Based on the LRSP Stakeholder Working Group Meetings, this LRSP will address multiple Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Challenge Areas including: 1. Bicyclists 2. Intersections 3. Pedestrians 4. Distracted Driving 5. Aggressive Driving/Speeding 6. Emerging Technologies 7. Emergency Response 3.2 LRSP Stakeholder Working Group Meetings Four meetings were held with the stakeholder working group. Two meetings were held in person pre-COVID and two meetings were held virtually, post-COVID. The meeting dates and summaries were as follows: 1.

Data Analysis GHD collected and reviewed five years of complete collision data (2014-2018) from the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), and the City of Arroyo Grande collision data. After rectifying the data, a comprehensive data set was used for the safety analysis. Due to the City also having to deliver a Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR), the collision analysis will reference that report. In addition, the LRSP will capture other safety concerns from the LRSP working group and citizens including places where there are near-miss collisions as well as fatal and severe injury collisions that occurred in 2019 and 2020. Collision analysis was performed for all roadways in the City of Arroyo Grande excluding the US 101 mainline collisions. The collisions for the US 101 interchanges in Arroyo Grande were evaluated separately. As presented in Figure 5.1, Citywide collisions for the past 5 years (2014- 2018) excluding the US 101 interchange collisions were mapped, identifying the high-risk segments and intersections. Per the collision density map, the roadway segments and intersections with higher collision frequency fall along E. Grand Avenue, E Branch Street, W Branch Street, Fair Oaks Avenue, Halcyon Road, and El Camino Real. Additional collision analysis and maps are located in Appendix B: SSAR Crash Analysis. Figure 5.1 Collision Density Heat Map (2014-2018) Item 9.a - Page 107 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 11 In evaluating the past five (5) years in the SSAR with the recent 2019 and 2020 collision data, the severity for fatal and injury collisions was assessed. It is noted that in 2020 there were COVID shelter-in-place orders, and the traffic patterns were not representative of a typical year. However, it is important to still assess 2020 for context in understanding the collision patterns and safety issues. As shown in Table 5.1, there were fatal collisions in 2017, 2018, and 2019, with 2014, 2017, and 2019 having the highest total fatal and injury collisions per year. Table 5.1 Collision Severity for Fatal and Injury Collisions per Year As presented in Table 5.2, collision type is shown for the fatal and injury collisions each year. Broadside collisions were the most common and they typically occur at intersections due to vehicles not yielding the right of way or violating the traffic signal/stop sign. The second most common collision type was rear-ends. Rear-end collisions typically occur due to speed differential, congestion, and vehicles following too closing or inattention. There were also 32 vehicle/pedestrian collisions in the past 7 years.

The top violation category was unsafe speed followed by automobile right of way (Auto R/W). Table 5.3 PCF Violation Category for Fatal and Injury Collisions per Year 5.1 Top Collision Locations A figure summarizing the locations that ranked in the highest ten for relative severity (Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) methodology) and crash rates for the five-year collision analysis is included in the SSAR. For further information, please reference Appendix C: SSAR Priority Projects priority locations. Since the completion of the SSAR, multiple safety projects have been implemented at many of the top collision locations, and additional improvements are being evaluated. These improvements are listed below as sub-bullets. 5.1.1 Top Collision Locations – Based on Collision Severity As determined in the SSAR, the top intersection collision locations were identified based on relative severity (highest collision severity ranks highest). Per the SSAR recommendations, many locations have been improved and therefore, comments are provided below. The italicized green comments are completed or planned improvements and the comments in black are identified improvements. The top intersections based on relative severity are as follows: 1. E Branch Street and Short Street a. Crossing improvements made in 2019 to include pedestrian-activated flashing LED lights on the pedestrian warning signs and refreshed crosswalk markings.

E Grand Avenue and Bell Street a. Evaluated for mid-block crossing with a pedestrian hybrid beacon (HAWK) in last HSIP cycle 10. An additional engineering study needs to be performed to see if this location will meet CA MUTCD warrants for installation of a pedestrian hybrid beacon. b. In the interim, a two-stage pedestrian crossing (median island in the center two-way left turn lane) is recommended on the east leg with a high visibility crosswalk, yield lines, and a pedestrian-activated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB). 3. E Grand Avenue and Courtland Street a. Striping and pavement marking improvements are identified in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). b. Additional safety improvements can include adding an additional signal head per lane, retroreflective back plates, and ADA improvements with accessible pedestrian signal (APS) push buttons and countdown timers. With the completion of the commercial center on the southwest corner expected in 2022, City staff recommends that the traffic movements and signal phasing (might need to add a left turn phase for the northbound approach) and timing be reviewed for this intersection. 4. El Camino Real and N Oak Park Boulevard a. Evaluate future traffic signal improvements to include a signal head per lane, flashing yellow left turn arrow for permissive/protected phasing, and update pedestrian push buttons to APS and provide countdown timers. 5. The Pike and S Halcyon Road (City/County controlled intersection) a. This location was converted to an all-way stop control (AWSC) in 2019. b. Post-collision analysis after installation of the AWSC shows the collision issue has been mitigated. i. Evaluate future crossing improvements to include ADA ramps and crosswalks on the north and south legs. The top segments based on relative severity are as follows: 1. El Camino Real – Oak Park Boulevard to Brisco Road a. Operational improvements are included with the Brisco Road/ US 101 interchange project. b. Evaluate as needed for additional safety improvements. 2. E. Grand Avenue – Courtland Street to Elm Street a. Striping and pavement marking improvements with CIP project. Item 9.a - Page 110 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 14 i. It is recommended to remove botts dots and install thermoplastic striping and pavement markings. ii. Provide continuous bike lanes as feasible. 3. Halcyon Road – Fair Oaks Avenue to Grand Avenue a. This roadway segment was evaluated with the Halcyon Complete Streets Plan i. A road diet is recommended in providing a center two-way left turn lane for left turns and buffered bike lanes adjacent to parking. 1. Currently left turns have to stop in the through lanes and cause sudden stopping movements and speed differential. a. The main collision type was rear-ends in this section. 2. The northbound left turn on Halcyon Road at Grand Avenue would benefit from additional storage length from a two-way left turn lane. ii. A roundabout is recommended at Halcyon Road and Fair Oaks Avenue per the Halcyon Complete Streets Plan. b. Pursue grant funding and evaluate project phasing to prioritize this area. 4. Fair Oaks Avenue – Halcyon Road to Valley Road a. Provide continuous bike lanes (bike lanes end around the hospital) and green conflict marking in vehicle and bicycle conflict zones. b. Provide horizontal curve warning signs and/or chevrons. 5. W. Branch Street – Brisco Road to Camino Mercado/US 101 Ramps a. Provide green bike conflict marking for vehicle/bicycle mixing zones. b. Improve visibility of signalized intersections with retroreflective back plates and an additional signal head per lane. c. Provide high friction surface treatment for the downhill grade on the southbound approach to the Brisco Road intersection. d. Provide a signal warning sign with flashing beacon at the top of the grade to the southbound approach to Brisco Road intersection. e. In the interim evaluate adding a blank out sign “NO RIGHT TURN ON RED” for the southbound right turn conflicts with the NB left protected left turn phase. 5.1.2 Top Additional Collision Locations – Based on Crash Rates In addition to the top five intersections and top five segments based on relative severity, five additional intersections and segments were identified in the SSAR based on their crash rates. The top five additional intersection locations are as follows: 1. Traffic Way and Allen Street Item 9.a - Page 111 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 15 a. Recent improvements along Allen Street with the new Chevrolet Dealership. b. Recent installation of traffic signal at Traffic Way and Fair Oaks Boulevards. i. Helps to provide gaps for vehicles on Allen Street. 2. Valley Road and Castillo Del Mar/AGHS parking lot a. Construction is underway for the realignment of Castillo Del Mar at Valley Road into a traditional perpendicular intersection. 3. W. Branch Street and Brisco Road a. Brisco Road and US 101 interchange improvements will redesign this intersection. 4. E. Branch Street and Bridge Street a. Evaluate pedestrian improvements (possibly move crosswalk on E. Branch Street to the west leg) so there are less conflicts with the turning vehicles (removes right turns from Nevada Street and Bridge Street and left turns from westbound E Branch). 5. E. Grand Avenue and S. Elm Street a. Evaluate future traffic signal improvements to include a signal head per lane and update pedestrian push buttons to APS and provide countdown timers. The top five additional segment locations are as follows: 1. Bridge Street – Traffic Way to E. Branch Street a. Evaluate removal of the post office mailboxes and conversion of the segment from Bridge Street to Nelson Street to one-way. i. This matches the recommendation in the Circulation Element 2. Camino Mercado – W. Branch Street to Rancho Parkway a. Recent striping improvements added a center yellow line. b. Evaluate adding bike lanes. 3. Allen Street – Traffic Way to Pacific Coast Railway Place a. Add a white edgeline to define parallel parking. b. Add high visibility crosswalks and ADA ramps to the all-way stop control intersection of Allen Street at Mason Street. c. City Staff to begin working with residents to identify additional solutions. 4. W. Branch Street – Brisco Road to E. Branch Street a. Brisco Road at Branch and Rodeo Drive will be redesigned with the Brisco Road and US 101 Interchange Project. 5. Rancho Parkway – W. Branch Street to Via Vaquero Item 9.a - Page 112 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 16 a. Provide pedestrian mid-block crossing improvements south the Via Vaquero. 5.2 Bicycle Collisions In evaluating the bicycle to vehicle collisions in the City, seven years of data (2014-2020) was mapped by severity. There were no fatal bicycle collisions and all collisions occurred in the day except for two complaint of pain bicycle injury collisions. As shown in Figure 5.2, the bicycle collisions were focused on the E Grand Avenue, E Branch Street, and Fair Oaks Avenue corridors. Figure 5.2 Bicycle Collisions (2014-2020) 5.3 Pedestrian Collisions As shown in Figure 5.3, the pedestrian to vehicle collisions in the City were mapped for the past seven years (2014-2020) by collisions severity. There were two (2) fatal pedestrian collisions with one occurring at night (pedestrian was crossing Grand Avenue at Bell Street) and one occurred during the day (pedestrian was crossing E Branch Street at Short Street). There were also five (5) severe injury pedestrian collisions with three (3) at night and two (2) during the day. Item 9.a - Page 113 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 17 Figure 5.3 Pedestrian Collisions (2014-2020) 5.4 Fatal and Severe Injury Collisions From 2014 to 2020, there were 5 fatal and 18 severe injury collisions recorded. As shown in Figure 5.4, the five fatal collisions are as follows:  2017 – Pedestrian to vehicle collision at E. Branch Street and Short Street  2018 – Pedestrian to vehicle collision at Grand Avenue at Bell Street (crossing mid-block)  2018 – A single vehicle collision, hit object collision due to improper turning on El Camino Real, 770 ft east of Oak Park Blvd.  2019 – A single vehicle, hit object collision due to DUI on El Camino Real 319 ft South of Bennett Ave  2019 – A single vehicle, hit object collision due to DUI on Valley Road at Castillo Del Mar (Arroyo Grande High School Back Driveway) Item 9.a - Page 114 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 18 Figure 5.4 Fatal and Severe Injury Collisions (2014-2020) 6. Emphasis Areas The emphasis areas determined by the working group are as follows:  Bicycles  Intersections  Pedestrians  Distracted Driving  Aggressive Driving/Speeding  Emerging Technologies  Emergency Response These emphasis areas were used in prioritizing safety projects. 6.1 Performance Measures Performance measures should be SMART: Specific – clear action item description Measurable – identified performance measures Item 9.a - Page 115 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 19 Achievable – committed resources by responsible organization Relevant – statewide significance and data-driven issue and countermeasure Time Constrained – achievable within the LRSP time frame The performance measures will coincide with the goals defined by the LRSP working group. 6.2 Strategies Strategies to improve safety will coincide with the current safety issues, goals of the LRSP, public outreach, and goals of the previous safety plans. In summary the following strategies will be implemented based on the findings. 7. Identify Strategies 7.1 Public Outreach 7.1.1 Social Pinpoint Website A project website was created on the Social Pinpoint platform to inform the public about the LRSP and provide a platform for input. Figure 7.1 displays the homepage for the website found at lrsp.mysocialpinpoint.com/arroyogrande. Visitors to the page were invited to provide comments on an interactive project map and share their thoughts through a project survey. Comments from the interactive map and detailed results from the survey are included in Appendix A: Stakeholder and Public Input. The interactive map had comments for both the Circulation Element and Local Road Safety Plan as they were active for public comments at the same time.

Prioritize and Incorporate Strategies Through coordination and feedback from the City of Arroyo Grande, LRSP working group, and public outreach, the Local Road Safety Plan identifies safety projects and strategies. The LRSP will discuss engineering strategies and projects as well as the other E’s to include Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies. 8.1 Engineering Strategies Engineering strategies and projects are presented in Table 8.1 based on feedback from the City, Stakeholder Working Group, public outreach, and engineering analysis. Some countermeasures identified in the SSAR were already implemented or are part of upcoming planned projects. The countermeasures listed below represents projects that were not yet implemented, and other projects identified since the SSAR process.

With these improvements, it is recommended to provide or evaluate the lighting for the pedestrians crossing at night. 8.2 Implemented/Planned Projects Since the completion of the SSAR, multiple safety projects have been implemented throughout the City. Some improvements are as follows:  At the intersection of E. Branch Street and Short Street crossing improvements were made to provide pedestrian activated flashing warning signs on E. Branch Street.  The intersection of The Pike and S. Halcyon Road was converted from a two-way stop to an all-way stop in 2019 and is no longer a high priority intersection.  Due to the improvements made at the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Traffic Way, the intersection of Traffic Way and Allen Street has seen operational improvements. A signal was installed in July 2019 that improved signage and pavement markings near Allen Street and has helped create gaps in traffic for those turning from Allen Street.  Coordination is underway for the relocation of the bus loading zone on Valley Road adjacent to Arroyo Grande High School. The bus loading zone is planned to be relocated to the back parking lot which will allow continuous bike lanes on Valley Road adjacent to the high school through a roadway restriping project. Item 9.a - Page 121 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 25 8.3 Non-Engineering Strategies 8.3.1 Education Education strategies are listed below.  Pedestrian education campaigns – street crossing “dos and don’ts”, wear bright clothing and have a light at night  Driver and bicyclist education and resources  Safe route to school maps and outreach at schools  Social media blasts with quick education tool for all users  Pop up campaigns o April is distracted driving month, City should aim to have an outreach campaign (can be funded by Office of Traffic Safety grants)  School safety campaigns 8.3.2 Emerging Technologies Possible emerging technologies strategies are listed below.  Bicycle and video detection  Changeable message signs o Police Department currently has two portable changeable message signs. The second sign was recently purchased through a grant  City recently purchased a data collector for speed and volumes  Update older technology (traffic signals, speed feedback signs, etc.) 8.3.3 Enforcement Enforcement strategies are listed below.  During the development of the LRSP the City added a full-time motor office, supplemented by a part time motor office.  Targeted speed enforcement  DUI saturation patrols 8.3.4 Emergency Response Emergency response strategies are suggested below.  Provide Administrative Staff  Continue Save a Life – PulsePoint Responder (smartphone app designed to empower everyday citizens to save a life) Item 9.a - Page 122 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 26  Continue Emergency Preparedness Information 9. Implementation Process In evaluating how to implement safety projects, a prioritized list of projects with additional systemic projects is included in Appendix C: SSAR Priority Projects. The City of Arroyo Grande will look for opportunities to incorporate safety enhancements with the Capital Improvement Program. However, funding is very limited and typically used for roadway paving and maintenance. Additional funding opportunities can come through grant funding to include HSIP, ATP, and CMAQ. 10. Evaluation Process To evaluate the success of this plan, yearly collision analysis, along with requests for public feedback, can take place and be compared to the established goals. Goal: Reduce the potential for fatal and severe injury collisions Citywide o Measure of Success: A reduction in the number of fatal and severe injury collision Citywide over time will determine whether this goal is being met. This reduction can be achieved gradually by smaller reductions until no fatal or severe injury collision occurs on City roadways. Goal: Reduce the potential for rear-end collisions Citywide o Measure of Success: A decrease in “rear-end” type collisions after implementing safety countermeasures to include engineering, enforcement, education, and emerging technologies will determine if this goal is met. Goal: Reduce the potential for bicycle and pedestrian collisions Citywide. o Measure of Success: A decrease in pedestrian and bicycle involved collisions. This could be attributed to an increase in multimodal facilities and connected systems. Goal: Improve the health and vitality of our community with a safety plan that encourages safety for pedestrians and bicyclists that is targeted to Arroyo Grande’s local roadway needs o Measure of Success: If this goal is successful, residents will express an increased feeling of safety while using Arroyo Grande’s transportation systems. Additionally, the number and severity of collisions each year will decrease. Goal: Improve safety around schools with a connected multimodal system and improved crossings o Measure of Success: An evaluation of improvements to the multimodal transportation infrastructure around schools will capture the effectiveness of this goal.  Goal: Increase walking, biking, rolling (wheelchair, skateboard, scooter, etc.) to the downtown district, to work, and to school. o Measure of Success: Increase in multimodal infrastructure and improvements and subsequent pedestrian and bicycle counts. Item 9.a - Page 123 GHD | Arroyo Grande LRSP | R1989RPT002 LRSP | Page 27  Goal: Improve safety at uncontrolled crossings o Measure of Success: Increase safety improvements at uncontrolled crossing locations with a reduction of collisions occurring at these locations will determine if this goal is met.  Goal: Increase driver and pedestrian education o Measure of Success: An increase to the number of public education and information campaigns initiated by the City will determine if this goal has been met.  Goal: Reduce distracted driving o Measure of Success: A decrease in “Distracted Driving” violations after implementing engineering, enforcement, education, and emerging technologies will determine if this goal is met.  Goal: Improve bike safety with additional bikeways and green bike lanes for vehicle to bicycle conflict areas o Measure of Success: An increase to the amount of bikeways and green bike lanes at conflict areas installed by the City will determine if this goal is met.  Goal: Increase traffic enforcement o Measure of Success: A decrease in “Unsafe Speed” and “DUI” violations.  Goal: Receive grant funding for LRSP identified projects o Measure of Success: Successful grant applications for federal and state funding for the Local Road Safety Plan identified projects. 11. Next Steps The City of Arroyo Grande’s Local Road Safety Plan is scheduled to go to City Council in October 2021. This safety plan will be a living document and will guide the City’s roadway safety needs for the next five years. It will be updated as needed and the goals will be monitored. 12.

Many already turned right back at the USPS drop. Just make this a bike / bus only segment that allows right turns if needed, instead of a Right Turn only lane that people misuse. Make the right turn at the USPS boxes "Right Turn Only" instead.Traffic Way and Nelson St 35.121364 -120.578048 D-2 Cars turning left here must navigate traffic coming from 2 different lights, 2 different driveways, and pedestrians in the crosswalk. It's dangerous for everyone involved.E Grand Ave and W Branch St 35.122131 -120.581979 ID Comment Marker Location Latitude Longitude B-1 Possibly an isolated pedestrian path on the north side of el camino that would funnel cyclist and pedestrian onto a shared path under the 101 towards Branch street. It would allow cyclist to cross Brisco, west bound, easier as well. I constantly ride on this short stretch of el camino west bound past Brisco and have to fight for space in traffic as cars race to turn right on Brisco towards 101 north bound. The light is a no turn on red, so cars urgently try to make the turn. El Camino Real btwn Brisco Rd and N Halcyon Rd 35.123708 -120.592804 B-2 This area is a major concern for cyclist to pass to branch street. choosing between the sidewalk and the busy road. Updating the sidewalk to allow cyclist easily flow into a safe space to cross the 101.Brisco Rd north of El Camino Real 35.123906 -120.593387 Item 9.a - Page 128 ID Comment Marker Location Latitude Longitude B-3 adding the class 2 bike lane would be a big plus, but reducing speed limit would make bikers feel more comfortable. S Halcyon Rd btwn Park Way and Dodson Way 35.116255 -120.591598 B-4 At around 44' across, this could also fit an uphill bike lane. 2x7.5' parking, 2x 11' travel lanes, and a 7' bike lane uphill with sharrows downhill.Stagecoach Rd south of Platino Ln 35.129907 -120.564587 B-5 This is a designated "bike boulevard" in the city's bike master plan. Cars don't know that, so merging into 1 lane here for the sake of on-street parking becomes pretty dangerous. There are 10 on street parking spaces on each side of this block. Usually at least half unused. Not sure that justifies the use of road space.W Branch St east of Traffic Way 35.122661 -120.58067 B-6 Might be Pismo, but a bike lane to the right of a right turn only lane only works if you slow down traffic and make the right of way more obvious.Intx of Oak Park Blvd and James Way 35.133879 -120.605292 B-7 Just get rid of the overly long merging lane and use the space for better bike lanes on both sides. The buses will be able to handle it.Huasna Rd east of SR 227 35.12715 -120.56918 B-8 Bike lane ends as road expands to three lanes. "Good luck cyclists!"Valley Rd south of Fair Oaks Way 35.114617 -120.581296 B-9 Some sections here are wide enough for a full-fat bike lane, instead of a bike boulevard, as long as you simply count how much parking is needed for the church days. Would also reduce speeding in addition to the speed bumps. Newport Ave btwn Courtland St and Montego St 35.124265 -120.604391 B-10 People can (and should) use bike lanes to turn right, so just make a wide bike lane eastbound instead of a disappearing bike lane into a right turn only lane.E Grand Ave and Halcyon Rd 35.11854 -120.591953 B-11 Northbound bike lane starts far from the intersection. Conflict point at the McDonald's entrance.El Camino Real and Cornwall Ave 35.121393 -120.586282 B-12 You could fit bike lanes and discouraging speeding by adding them, for just the cost of paint. Further up Orchard there is no parking and you should definitely reduce the width there also. Orchard Ave btwn Pilgram Way and W Cherry Ave 35.116124 -120.576563 B-13 As with a number of bike lanes in the city, the bike lane here is half gutter. The gutter is not part of the road and can lead to some dangerous conditions for cyclists. James Way btwn Mesquite Ln and Village Glen Dr 35.132638 -120.578771 B-14 Ash St should absolutely have a safe bike lane. No reason every trip to the sports complex needs to be by car.Ash St west of S Elm St 35.114538 -120.601172 B-15 No bike lane westbound, just sharrows for a long time. El Camino Real btwn Brisco Rd and N Halcyon Rd 35.123506 -120.592486 B-16 Protect this bike lane with XLP channelizers to reduce offramp speeding. Traffic Way btwn E Cherry Ave and S Traffic Way 35.11792 -120.57491 B-17 A Bike Boulevard may be insufficient to get elementary school kids to bike. You'll need to make it very high quality, and the Ocean View drop off areas would need to be monitored.Montego St and Linda Dr 35.124466 -120.599843 B-18 Farroll is the same width here as it is to the west, so there's no reason for the bike lane to just disappear. Farroll Ave btwn Walnut St and Pecan St 35.110795 -120.59646 Item 9.a - Page 129 ID Comment Marker Location Latitude Longitude B-19 There's also a magically appearing bike lane on this side of the intersection (Westbound). The parking should be removed directly next to the intersection and the bike lane made continuous.S Halcyon Rd and Fair Oaks Ave 35.112757 -120.591785 B-20 The bike lanes are so faded that Chevy customers think they can park here instead of just around the corner.Traffic Way and Poole St 35.120375 -120.576871 B-21 You could probably fit an uphill bike lane and a downhill sharrow on Brisco without removing parking. Brisco Rd btwn Linda Dr and El Camino Real 35.122543 -120.595191 B-22 The outer travel lanes are 15+ ft while the bike lane is substandard. Do not let CalTrans get in the way of fixing that. Oak Park Blvd bridge south of W Branch St 35.130087 -120.606707 B-23 No bike lane uphill is brutal. I use the sidewalk.Oak Park Blvd south of James Way 35.132762 -120.605618 B-24 Bike lane frequently gets sandy here. Provide regular sweeping.W Branch St west of Rodeo Dr 35.124238 -120.591494 B-25 The parking demand here is low on the north side. Consider removing north side parking for a bike buffer, especially for fast moving cyclists downhill where a dooring could be fatal. James Way btwn Colina St and Village Glen Dr 35.131717 -120.577268 B-26 There is parking allowed here, and therefore this isn't even a bike lane on the south side. One parked car and you have to merge with fast traffic uphill.Branch St and Sterling Dr 35.125078 -120.5739 B-27 Turning left onto Fair Oaks is tricky. Consider a bike box or two stage turn configuration to facilitate.Fair Oaks Ave and Traffic Way 35.119686 -120.576221 B-28 Make this an actual bike lane and maintain it like one. Calling it a shoulder implies you don't have to maintain it like a bike lane, when we know kids are using the shoulder to bike to school. Valley Rd btwn Fair Oaks Ave and Los Berros Rd 35.109234 -120.58072 B-29 These bike lanes are better than the previous 35mph no- bike-lane condition, but the addition of parked cars on one side detracts from it. The bike lane is a door zone near the parked cars and should be wider. The city standard details should have all-ages-and-abilities bikeways as standard following NACTO. E Cherry Ave btwn Pacific Coast Railway Pl and Leedham Pl 35.120452 -120.571616 B-30 While this has improved since my time at Paulding, it's still nowhere near acceptable. The door zone bike lanes going uphill are dangerous, and the substandard width bike lane going downhill combined with high pedestrians at release time are also dangerous.E Branch St east of Garden St 35.125351 -120.571196 B-31 Lack of protected infrastructure here makes this an unsafe route to school, should kids want to bike to school. Students should have a safe route to school.E Branch St and Crown Hill St 35.125038 -120.574737 B-32 The bike lane approaching and at the intersection here is faded, basically gone, at this point. It's also hard to navigate a left turn from the bike lane here when cars in the rightmost lane can turn left or go straight. These conditions make this intersection unsafe and unusable for most on bike.Traffic Way south of W Branch St 35.122278 -120.581002 B-33 The bike lane here is not marked.W Branch St east of Camino Mercado 35.128968 -120.601333 B-34 Ending the bike lane here and dropping cyclists into fast moving traffic makes this route unsafe and unusable.S Oak Park Blvd and Manhattan Ave 35.117855 -120.609283 B-35 Traffic on Fair Oaks moves at 40mph. The unprotected lane here is not safe. A protected lane should be provided in order to make this a feasible and safe route to school. Fair Oaks Ave btwn California St and Orchard Ave 35.118192 -120.578985 Item 9.a - Page 130 Pedestrian Comments ID Comment Marker Location Latitude Longitude B-36 There is no dedicated space for bikes approaching this intersection when going west on Fair Oaks. The bike lane has been removed for a right turn lane. This makes drivers impatient and creates unsafe conditions for cyclists. As this is a route to school, safety for cyclists here should be a priority.Fair Oaks ave and S Halycon Rd 35.11268 -120.591023 B-37 The bike lane heading west from Halcyon on Grand isn't marked, which makes this route unsafe and unusable.E Grand Ave and Halcyon Rd 35.118561 -120.591602 B-38 Lack of a bike lane here makes this route unsafe and unusable. The proposed improvements mark this as a proposed sharrow. That is not safe given that cars are moving at 35mph here. A bike lane (preferably protected) is needed here.E Grand Ave east of El Camino Real 35.120597 -120.585573 B-39 The break in the bike lane here makes this route unsafe and unusable.E Grand Ave east of Brisco Rd 35.119978 -120.598469 ID Comment Marker Location Latitude Longitude P-1 Pedestrians cross here, and will continue to cross here whether or not there is a marked crosswalk.

Are we surprised by pedestrian traffic at this intersection? Leading interval is also necessary. Lots of eager drivers aggressively trying to make the turn in front of pedestrians.E Branch St and S Mason St 35.124281 -120.576582 P-3 No reason for a beg button here. There is plenty of pedestrian traffic at this intersection. Making pedestrians wait a full light cycle because they pushed the button 2 seconds late is really disrespectful.Fair Oaks Ave and Traffic Way 35.119708 -120.5764 P-4 There is no marked crosswalk on the north side of this intersection and the curb cutout is misaligned with where the marked crosswalk should be, creating unsafe conditions for pedestrians and cyclists traveling to and from the park.S Elm St and Fair Oaks Ave 35.112662 -120.600357 P-5 This bus stop serving the library has no bench, no shade, and no sidewalk. W Branch St and Library driveway 35.12377 -120.590272 P-6 Extremely dangerous, and we make it worse by not having a north side crosswalk at Fair Oaks. Add an RRFB, remove adjacent parking, push the bike lane towards the curb and provide refuge islands between the bike lanes and travel lanes.Traffic Way and Nelson St 35.121296 -120.578148 P-7 This bridge is nice and should be better marked so people use it.

Wide curb cutouts to facilitate and encourage fast moving traffic, like at this intersection, make it unsafe to cross if I approach this crossing during a green light, with time to cross, but after having the opportunity to use the beg button. This creates a delay for pedestrians since they then need to wait another full light cycle. E Grand Ave and US 101 NB On Ramp 35.121734 -120.582848 P-21 Mason and Allen are commonly used as routes for traffic to cut through from E Branch to Branch Mill.

Would be more equitable for ADA school kids as well.Fair Oaks Ave east of Valley Rd 35.117185 -120.581508 T-5 We can engineer a westbound bus stop that makes sense.Fair Oaks Ave east of Valley Rd 35.11692 -120.581805 T-6 Instead of exposed bike racks, use bike lockers that can be locked with a personal lock like a U-lock on the door. El Camino Real btwn N Halcyon Rd and Feah Ave 35.122767 -120.590205 Item 9.a - Page 133 Q3. Are you familiar with how Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB) work? Q4. Would you be interested in an educational component for PHBs (e.g. a video or infographic)? Item 9.a - Page 134 Q5. Do you have any concerns about speeding on local roads? Q6. *Please list specific locations and any recommendations you may have. 1. The village!!!! Make the speed limit 15 mph, put a bike lane, and have cars park on one side of the street or behind businesses so that people and families have space to comfortably ride their bikes and walk around without cars speeding by. 2. The village. Speed is 25 mph but people rush through anyways. It is difficult to leisurely ride a bike through that area due to this , and biking on the side walk is not a good option due to the busy store fronts. Also in the Halcyon/grande area the speed limit is 40 mph in some places with no area for bikes. These suggestions have also been added to the interactive map. * Q7. What roadway improvements would you like to see in and around school zones? - No Responses - Q8. What other improvements would you like to see? 1. Isolated pedestrian/bike paths. The proposed plans for the lanes and path are wonderful and I hope all of them can be completed soon! These paths are a great opportunities that prompt people to be outside. I hope the Grand 101 overpass can be improved for bike crossing. Biking and even walking that section feels very exposed to the cars getting on the 101. I am a professional cyclist and avoid this area of grand because of this and the lack of a bike lane. 2. More bike lanes!!!!!!! Item 9.a - Page 135 Q9.

During this time, Lucia Mar has had a district representative working closely with the committee to identify safety issues that we feel affect our students and families. Lucia Mar USD is serious about ensuring the safety of its students. Safety starts with students walking, biking, or driving to-and-from school, and we believe that all forms of transportation are of equal importance. As every family has its own unique situation, a variety of forms of transportation are required. We attended in-person and virtual meetings, and we met with Robin Dickerson onsite to review potential changes to Valley Road. This positive collaboration is reflected in the final version of the LRSP. During our meetings, several safety issues were identified and studied: (1) Fair Oaks Road encompasses two of our biggest campuses: Arroyo Grande High School (AGHS) and Harloe Elementary School. The LRSP addresses the needs of both schools through the Halcyon Complete Streets Project and the redesign of Valley Road. (2) Identifying a potential problem on Nelson Street and Traffic Way was also important because we have many students traveling to-and-from -AGHS using that intersection. Lucia Mar Unified School District strongly supports the final version of LRSP. We hope that it will be adopted and implemented. It is very important that the City of Arroyo Grande continues to collaborate with the "School District" to ensure that our streets are safe for all of our road users. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help make the City of Arroyo Grande a better place to live and work.
