MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KERRY McCANTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION'S DECISION TO DENY
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 2265 AMENDMENT 00-001 REGARDING
THE UNDERGROUNDING OF PUBLIC UTILITIES; VILLAGE GLEN
HOMES, LLC
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution upholding
the decision of the Planning Commission of July 18, 2000 to deny Tentative Tract
Map 2265 Amendment 00-001.
FUNDING:
No fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map 2265 and Planned Unit
Development 96-563 on December 21, 1999 to subdivide a 86.3-acre site into 36
clustered residential lots, 4 custom home lots, and a 19-acre school site~ The
project is located north of James Way near Mesquite Lane.
Condition of Approval No. 95 for the project requires that existing overhead utilities
onsite or within six feet (6') of the tract boundaries be placed underground. The
applicant submitted an application requesting that Condition No. 95 be amended to
allow pole #3 and the associated overhead utility lines located along the east
property line to remain (reference Attachments 6 and 7). The Planning Commission
denied this request on July 18, 2000 (reference Attachment 3 for Planning
Commission meeting minutes).
APPLICANT'S APPEAL STATEMENT AND RESPONSE BY STAFF:
The appeal document filed by the applicant (Attachment 1) sets forth the reasons
for the appeal. For the Council's convenience, the reasons supporting the appeal
stated by the applicant are listed below in italics, followed by the staff response.
L _
Appeal to City Council
TIM 2265 Amendment 00-001
September 12, 2000
Page 2 of 2
1. Village Glen Homes believes that it is impractical to underground the utility
pole in Question. Placing the existing utilities of the subject pole (#3) onto
the adjacent pole (#4) ten feet away will not result in a net decrease in the
number of utility lines.
Staff Response
Development Code Section 9-1 5-050 requires all above ground utilities to be placed
underground when the following circumstances exist for any proposed subdivision
or discretionary land use project (reference Attachment 5):
1. Utilities provide direct service to the property being developed;
2. Utilities are existing and located within the boundaries of the property
being developed;
3. Utilities are existing between the property line and the centerline of the
peripheral streets of the property being developed; or
4. Utilities are located along or within six (6) feet of the rear or side lot lines
of the property to be developed.
In this case, pole #3 and associated utility lines are located within six (6) feet of the
east side project boundary and therefore are subject to the above Development Code
requirement. .
Exceptions can be made to this utilities undergrounding requirement on an
administrative level if it can be determined that "topographic soil, or any other
conditions, render underground placement impractical or infeasible." The Public
Works Director and Community Development Director reviewed the request and
determined that the undergrounding requirement was not "impractical" or
"infeasible." The Planning Commission concurred with this determination.

II. B. TENTATIVE TRACT 2265 AMENDMENT; lOCATION - 420 CANYON WAY; APPLICANT
- VillAGE GLEN HOMES llC
Kelly-Heffernon, Associate Planner, presented the staff report stating that the Planning Commission
had approved Tentative Tract Map 2265 on December 21, 1999 subject to a condition that certain
overhead utilities be placed underground. The applicant is requesting that an amendment to this
condition be made to allow one of the poles and its associated overhead utility lines to remain.
The project site contains 8 utility poles that are subject to the undergrounding requirement of the
Development Code. As noted during previous public hearings, the Development Code allows
relief of this requirement if it can be shown that the topography, or some other condition, causes
the undergrounding of the utilities to be either impractical or infeasible. Ms. Heffernon explained
to the Commission that the applicant has stated that removing pole #3 and placing all overhead
utilities underground would be impractical for two reasons:
--.-
ARROYO GRANDE PLANNING COMMISSION
MINUTES DRAFT
JULY 18, 2000
PAGE 2
#1 : This pole and the related utility lines do not serve the Village Glen Project; and
#2: Pole #4 already has many lines connected to it, and placing additional lines onto pole #4
would not decrease the number of lines associated with poles #3 and #4.
Ms. Heffernon stated that staff had received one written comment to date from a neighbor who
is not in favor of granting the exception. The Director of Public Works and the Community
Development Director have reviewed the applicant's request and do not believe the
undergrounding requirement in this case is unreasonable. Therefore, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission deny the request to amend Condition of Approval No. 95 for Tract Map
2265.
The Planning Commission discussed the location of the utility poles with Mr. Campbell. Mr.
Campbell explained the City's decision on which poles needed to be removed.
Chair Greene opened the Public Hearing.
The following members of the public spoke to the Planning Commission:
Mark Panther, 402 Moss Lane
Bruce Buckinaham, representative for the developer presented a brief overview to the Planning
Commission. He stated that at a previous Planning Commission meeting, a Parcel Map was
processed at the end of Canyon Way involving 3 lots that included a pole within six feet of the
side yard property line. The Public Works Department had requested that this pole be removed, but
at the request of the applicants that it was impractical and infeasible to do so, the Planning
Commission granted an exception and the pole was left in place.
Mr. Buckingham explained that the exemption he was requesting at tonight's meeting was similar
in nature. He explained the position of the various power poles, how the wires were connected
to the poles, and what residences these utilities served. He stated that the applicant believed that
the applicable Development Code section does allow for exemptions "where utility service poles
presently exist along or near rear lot lines". Mr. Buckingham explained that the pole in question
was on a rear line of Lot 1 5. The applicants feel that all the other poles they have been required
to underground serve the subject property and rightfully should be removed. This pole does not
serve any lot in Tract 2265.
Another thing about this particular pole (#3) is that if this pole is removed, the lines will just be
moved to the adjacent pole (#4) and there will be no net loss of lines. Mr. Buckingham stated that
this pole (#3) is a "slack pole" working in tandem with the adjacent pole (#4).
Mr. Buckingham stated that it was unclear, after their conversations with P.G.& E., whether there
would have to be another "guy" wire added to pole #4, or if another "slack pole" would have to
be installed as a result of removing pole #3. They did not have a specific answer.
Commissioner London stated that if at least one pole was taken away it would look better. Mr.
London asked if Mr. Buckingham should have had the answers before coming before the Planning
Commission?

Mr. Buckingham stated that he would have liked to have the answers, but P.G.& E., although he
has met with them on many occasions, did not have the answers. They would not commit to
anything at this time.
Commissioner Keen stated that when the Planning Commission was discussing the previously
mentioned project (the Benson project), he had asked Mr. Buckingham to find out if the whole line
could be fed from the infrastructure of Tract 2265.
Mr. Buckingham stated that he had discussed this with P.G.& E. and he has found that it would be
feasible to do however, it would cause them to have to remove a pole that the City was not even
asking them to remove.
Vice-Chair Parker and Mr. Buckingham discussed the exact number of poles that were involved, the
number of poles that were being removed, and where the remaining lines would be placed.
Commissioner Costello discussed the section of the Development Code that dealt with exceptions
for the undergrounding of utility lines on rear lot lines. Mr. Buckingham had referenced this section
in his argument for the granting of an exception in this case. Mr. Costello pointed out that this
exception would not apply to new subdivisions.
Chair Greene closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Costello stated that any time the Planning Commission is discussing this issue he
has to ask himself, "Why is the City requiring the undergrounding of utilities in the first place, and
what is the City trying to accomplish"? Is it just for aesthetics and to improve the "visual" aspect
of the City? If this is the case then he would be a little bit critical about when the City says it is OK
not to do it or when they should "hold the line". This is an issue where the Planning Commission is
trying to get more guidance on just what this policy means and needs to be. Mr. Costello stated
that he could see both sides of the argument. He said that the question sometimes comes down to
"is something unfeasible because it is expensive"?
Vice-Chair Parker stated that this issue seems to come up at every Planning Commission meeting.
She agrees with what Mr. Keen said earlier that it is becoming difficult to make these decisions on
this issue.
She stated that she believes that the intent of undergrounding the "T" is very appropriate. She
thinks that it would be good to get rid of the utility lines that are along the new development. She
then stated that it is more confusing to deal with poles # 1, 2, 3, and 4 where there are wires
going from poles 1 and 2 and underground 3 and come back up to attach lines to pole 4. It doesn't
make sense to do this. If there were a compromise to make, perhaps it would be to take out pole
#3 and attach the lines to pole #4.
Commissioner Keen stated that he had spent some time out on the property trying to come up with
a solution to this problem. He felt that just removing pole #3 and moving the lines to pole #4 is not
an acceptable solution. He explained that the reason the poles were put in this way was to keep
the high voltage lines from going across the property. Putting the wires over this property is not a
solution for the property owner or for P.G. & E.
He said that when they had looked at the "Benson Project ", he stated that he did not think it was
necessary, or feasible, to remove pole #3 or #4. The house that is in this vicinity is serviced by
pole #2 so eliminating the whole line would be difficult.

He stated that there is no real solution, and although he doesn't really like it, he would agree to
leave these poles just like they are.
Commissioner London asked Commissioner Costello for some further explanation about this
situation. Mr. London stated that this is a "first-class" project that the Planning Commission has
been dealing with for some time. From a distance the wires themselves seem to fade and they are
not as noticeable from a distance but the poles are very noticeable. If there is any possible way to
put the wires from pole #3 to pole #4 it should be done. He stated that he did not believe that the
Planning Commission had enough information at this time to make a decision. Mr. London stated
that he wished that there were a P.G. & E. representative at the meeting to help explain this
situation.
Commissioner Keen stated that one of the problems is the sentence in the Development Code
that deals with the pole being within six (6) feet of the property line. He is not sure that this is a
fair "analogy" if it does not serve the project that is being reviewed.
Chair Greene stated that the Development Code is the Planning Commissions' "standard" in
terms of making decisions. He felt that the City would be inviting "chaos" by giving the
Development Code anything less than their highest fidelity as the City's guideline. As he looks
at the Development Code he feels that the staff is right and that pole #3 has to be put
underground in order to comply with Section 9-15-050. The burden is on the applicant to prove
that there is an exception. He does not feel that the applicant has accomplished this.
Mr. Greene said that pole #3 backs up to the rear of Lot #15 and it would be a "blight" for the
homeowner on this lot to have the pole in their back yard. He believes that this issue was put in
the Development Code because the decision-makers in the community felt that undergrounding
was an objective that the City should pursue because above ground utilities are unpleasant to
look at. He does not see any basis to overrule staff's recommendation that the Planning
Commission deny the request to amend the condition and cannot support the request.
Commissioner Costello asked staff if the request was denied, could the applicant appeal the
decision to the City Council?
Mr. McCants stated that the applicant could file an appeal to the City Council.
Commissioner Costello moved that the Planning Commission deny the request to amend
Condition of Approval #95 for Tract 2265. Commissioner London seconded the motion. The
motion was approved by the following roll call vote:

Subject: Undergrounding of Utility Pole for Tract 2265 (Village Glen Homes)
Dear Mr. McCants:
The City is currently reviewing the improvement plans for Tract 2265. As part of this process, the
Public Works Department has informed us that an off-site utility pole (Pole #3) should be removed
and the utility lines placed underground between Pole #2 and Pole #4, a distance of
approximately 150 feet (reference attached Exhibit).
We respectfully request that the Planning Commission consider granting an exception to
undergrounding Pole #3 based on Development Code Section 9-15.050.C.2, which allows for
existing utility poles along rear property lines to be permitted. Pole #3 and the associated utility
lines do not serve the Village Glen project. Rather, the lines in question serve existing flag 19ts
accessed from both Canyon Way and James Way along the rear property lines.
Based on the above, we believe that Pole #3 may remain in place and no undergrounding should
occur. We also feel that the undergrounding of Pole #3 is impractical when you consider that Pole
#4, approximately 10-feet from Pole #3, will remain. As a result of removing Pole #3 and
undergrounding the lines between Pole #2 and Pole #4, the utilities will come above ground onto
Pole #4. Pole #4 already has many lines connected to it (reference attached photo). Placing
additional lines onto Pole #4 will not decrease the number of lines assoCiated with Poles #3 and
#4.
Thank you for considering our request to allow Pole #3 to remain in place. If you have any
questions or would like to view the site, please call Bruce Buckingham or myself at 474-6521.
Sincerely,
~~

City Council, City of Arroyo Grande: 00 SfP I 2 AH 9: ~ 0 "-
Dear Sirs; In response to the request made by the developer of the Village Glen tract,
Tract Map 2265, requesting an amendment to the agreement concerning the placement of
underground utilities.
I am opposed to granting this request, but due to prior commitments I am unable to attend
this evenings council meeting.
The corning trend is to place all utilities underground, thus preserving and enhancing the
visual beauty of the neighborhood. The developer of this tract agreed to place these
utilities underground as a condition in obtaining his development permit for this tract.
There should be no valid reason to modify this agreement. Economics should not enter
into it. Please, stand firm in your decision to deny this request. Vote against this appeal.
Thank you.

- Gentlemen,
Please do NOT grant the appeal by Village Glen Homes LLC to leave public utilities
overhead. The Planning Commission's decision is correct. If anything, overhead lines
should be coming down, not left in place. I urge you to hold with their recommendations
for the reasons given in the attached letter. The Village Glen annexation was made to
maintain local control. Please exercise that control now.
Since I will not be able to convey my views personally at your meeting, thank you for the
chance to present them in this form.

Dear Chairman and Commissioners,
Please do NOT grant an exception for Village Glen Hones LLC to underground an
existing pole. As part of the EIR review for this development, the specific question was
asked: "Is the developer required to underground all wiring on or inside the site
borders?" The response was "yes". That seems simple enough. No exemption was
noted for the inftastructure supporting those parcels with residences already in place.
Assuming the document represents valid commitments, what possible rationale is there to
deviate? Do any benefits accrue to the City or its people? I urge you to dig in and see to
it that public agreements are kept. Should this exception be granted, what happens to the
integrity of the annexation process? Who can say whether or not Canyon Way will be
extended or worse?
Existing utility poles should be coming down rather than be allowed to remain standing.
The basis for this assertion is to be found in the attached letter. Your agreement with and
encouragement in its position is earnestly solicited.
Thank you for the chance to weigh in on this matter.
Sincerely,
David E. Shaw

to and from work; and clarification that the ordinance could not be used as
probable cause for a traffic stop.

to gain curfew compliance; the proposed ordinance exempts those minors who
are going to and from work; and clarified that the proposed ordinance was being .
revised to bring it up to date to meet current laws.

as bad as other street segments in the City. He referred to the unfinished
segment of Grand Avenue and commented that this road was a gateway to the
City from the west.

project.
Director Spagnolo replied it would be $600,000, and he clarified that the proposed
$234,300 of STIP funds would be applied toward the $600,000 which would be the
amount needed to complete the Grand Avenue project.
Council concurred that the East Grand Avenue - West City Limits to Elm Street
project should be a high priority.
The Council discussed the EI Camino Real - Brisco Road to Halcyon Road
project. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked if this segment was included in the
Brisco/Halcyon/101 Project Study Report (PSR). He commented that depending
on the alternative chosen for the interchange, it might affect any improvements
that are done to EI Camino Real. He suggested that if it was listed as a priority for
STIP funding, that staff return to Council with the project in order to consider any
action related to the Brisco/Halcyon/101 PSR.

11.d. LOPEZ DAM WATER SUPPLY CONTRACT
Director of Public Works Spagnolo highlighted the staff report. He explained that
a significant portion of the Lopez Dam seismic retrofit project would be funded by
general obligation bonds; however, a portion of the project must be funded by the
City. Staff recommended the Council adopt a resolution approving the Contract
between San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
and the City of Arroyo Grande for a Water Supply.
Council Member Dickens referred to page 11 of the Contract, Article 2, Term of
Contract, and asked for clarification that if any other Agency elects to terminate
its Water Supply Contract, the Entitle-ment and corresponding obligations of such
other Agency shall be apportioned on a pro rata basis among the remaining other
Agencies.
City Attorney Carmel responded that was correct.
Mayor Lady opened the discussion for public comment, and upon hearing none,
brought the issue back to the Council for discussion.
Council Member Runels stated his initial concerns relating to the way surplus
water is identified and sold were adequately addressed. He referred to the
Supplemental Report regarding mitigation improvements to Huasna Road as a
result of construction of the Lopez Dam retrofit project. He introduced Lou
Carella, Superintendent of the Project Management Team for the Lopez Dam
seismic retrofit project.
Mr. Carella stated a letter had been prepared in response to concerns recognized
by Zone 3 regarding the impact of truck traffic as a result of construction related
to the project. He explained that in a joint effort with the City, there would be a
memorandum of understanding between the County and the City to provide
mitigation improvements to a 0.8 mile stretch of Huasna Road, just east of
Highway 227 through the City. He stated the Supplemental Report proposes the
approach to be taken; preliminary costs; and timing of the repair. He said it was
determined that it would be more cost effective to repair Huasna Road before
construction takes place.
Council discussion followed on the impacts to the merchants and historic
buildings from the truck traffic through the Village; whether there were other
truck route alternatives; issues other than road conditions, such as safety and air
quality impacts; and whether the City had any input on what the truck routes
would be.
Mr. Carella responded that the Environmental Impact Report had already been
approved by the County Board of Supervisors. He explained that there were a
number of mitigation measures addressing traffic and a traffic safety plan was to
be presented.

community. He recommended the Council take a strong stand on mitigating
these impacts.

truck traffic. He said trucks would not be coming through the Village on
weekends or during the holidays from December 10th through January 15th.

Ordinance is necess'ary and desirable because the protection of minors warrants a
higher degree of governmental regulation. This higher degree of regulation is premised
upon the peculiar vulnerability of children and minors' inability to make critical decisions

preserving the safety of the community generally and providing a higher degree of
protection for its minors specifically during nighttime hours.
Section 5-13.02: Definitions. The following definitions are applicable to this
ordinance:
"Curfew hours" means the period from 11 :00 p.m. any night until 6:00 a.m. the following

which the public is invited including, but not limited to, any place of amusement or

that the owner, operator or employee of an establishment promptly notified the

during curfew hours and refused to leave.
Section 5-13.05: Enforcement: Before taking any enforcement action under this
Chapter, a peace officer shall ask the apparent offender's age and reason for being in a
public place or on the premises of an establishment during curfew hours. The officer

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEEIV2P
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO FILE A NOTICE OF COMPLETION, APPROVE
PROGRESS PAYMENT NO. 1 AND AUTHORIZE RELEASE OF
RETENTION FOR FIRE STATION RE-ROOF PROJECT
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12,2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council:
A. direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and,
B. authorize Progress Payment NO.1 in the amount of $33,018.53 to Quaglino
Roofing.
C. authorize release of the retention of $3,668.73, thirty five (35) days after the Notice
of Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed.
FUNDING:
The FY 2000/2001 Annual Budget includes $30,000 for the re-roofing of Fire Station No.
1, $15,000 for the re-roofing of City Hall and $12,000 for the re-roofing of Elm Street Pre-
school under account 010-4213-6401, Government Buildings.
DISCUSSION:
On February 8, 2000, the City Council authorized staff to solicit informal bids for the Re-
roofing of Fire Station NO.1 Project. On June 27,2000, two bids were publicly opened
for the project. The apparent low bidder, Quaglino Roofing, submitted a bid of $41,444.
City Council awarded the contract in the amount of $41,444 and authorized a contingency
of $5,000, bringing the total available construction funds to $46,444. The $12,000 for re-
roofing of Elm Street Pre-School was reallocated to the Fire Department to offset costs in
excess of allocated funds.
Staff received an application for Progress Payment NO.1 for work completed between
August 18 and September 1, 2000 from Quaglino Roofing. As of September 1, 2000 the
project was 100% complete. Due to a reduction in the final quantities of the plywood
sheathing under the existing roofing material, the final project cost is $36,688, which is
approximately $9,756 below the total project budget.
Staff is recommending the release of the 10% retention ($3,668.73) to Quaglino Roofing
thirty five (35) days after the Notice of Completion has been recorded, if no lien$ are filed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SPEED HUMPS ON RODEO DRIVE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council review the Traffic Commission's recommendation to
approve the residents' request to install eight (8) modified speed humps on Rodeo Drive.
FUNDING:
The cost to install modified speed control devices on Rodeo Drive has been identified in
the Capital Improvement Program. The funding source for the estimated project cost of
$50,000 has not yet been determined.
DISCUSSION:
At the May 22, 2000 Traffic Commission meeting, a presentation was made by the
homeowners concerning the speed on Rodeo Drive. Presentations were also made on
July 24th and March 20th by the residents requesting that modified speed humps be
installed and funded by the City.
Previous to these meetings, in 1990, residents of Rodeo Drive addressed the Traffic
Commission with concerns of excessive speeding and high volumes of traffic on their
street. At that time, the City placed a stop sign on Rodeo Drive and Mercedes Drive and
the speed was lowered to 25 mph.
In 1996, the residents returned to the Commission regarding the same concerns. The
majority of the neighborhood favored speed humps. However, the City Council denied the
installation of the speed humps and approved the addition of stop signs on Rodeo Drive at
Grace Lane and Emerald Bay Drive.
In 1998, the City installed Botts Dots and diagonal striping at various locations on'Rodeo
Drive between Mercedes Drive and Emerald Bay Drive to further address concerns from
the residents.
In accordance with the City's adopted Speed Hump Policy, the proposed street must meet
eight criteria including the evaluation of the street type (the requir.ement is for the street to
be a local street generally with less than a 6% grade); traffic volume (minirnum volume to
,-~._..."..- ~_._----_._.._._-_.._._..-.
be 1,000 trips per day); traffic speed (60% of the vehicles must be exceeding the 25 mph
speed limit); and traffic shift (an evaluation will be made as to possible shifts in traffic to
other streets). In addition, the guidelines require that 60% of the affected households sign
a petition requesting installation of the speed humps.
The City has received documentation from the homeowners on Rodeo Drive showing more
than 60% support ofthe affected households. Based on their support, staff evaluated the
criteria for speed humps in accordance with the adopted policy and determined that all of
the criteria have been met except for the percentage of vehicles exceeding the speed limit.
The Smart Survey Summary indicates that only the southbound traffic meets the minimum
percentage of vehicles exceeding the 25 mph speed limit of 60% where as the northbound
is only 40% exceeding the limit.
The homeowners have developed a plan showing the locations of the modified speed
humps as shown on the attached sketch. There are three (3) proposed alternative designs
as follows:
A- (3) three speed humps: 25 feet wide, 6 feet deep and 14 foot wide planter
areas.
B- (3) three speed humps: 25 feet wide, 6 feet deep and 8 foot wide
planter areas.
C- (2) two visual speed humps (painted markings only): 22 feet wide, 6 feet
deep and 14 foot wide planter areas.
The proposed plan to install the modified speed humps has also been reviewed by the Fire
and Police Departments. Concerns by the Fire Department include reduced response time
and damage to the equipment. The Police Department concerns were with humps placed
on a grade that exceeds the maximum provided for in the design guidelines.
Attached are letters from residents of the surrounding area who support and oppose the
installation of the modified speed humps.
The Traffic Commission has reviewed the request for eight (8) modified speed humps on
Rodeo Drive and has recommended that the City Council approve the request.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
- Approve Traffic Commission's recommendation;
- Do not approve Traffic Commission's recommendation;
- Modify as appropriate and approve Traffic Commission's recommendation; or
- Provide direction to Traffic Commission.

Honorable Members of the City Council
Re: Traffic Calming on Rodeo Drive
Dear Gentlemen.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and consider the proposal before you
and our memorandum in support of this project. As the Council is aware.. this matter is of
greatimIlortanceJo many of our friends. and neighhorswho reside on Rodeo Drive.
We appear before this Honorable body to seek your support for our community's plan to
restore the quality of life for our neighborhood and to greatly enhance the level ofllublic
safety for the people who live in Royal Oaks. It is our hope that, by.goin.g forward with
the current proposal,.. we can begin to resolve the community) s traffic problems. and to
take a giant step forward in retumin.g to our street the small town quality of life which we
ali treasure.
Our proposal has its genesis in several actions taken by this Council last Nove.mber when
this body voted to annex the Villa.ge Glen property and to permit the development of an
elementary school and 40 home sites. During. the public hearing concerning this ~ect,
the Council voted unanimously to direct the City staff to work with the residents ong
Rodeo Drive to develop a proposal and a funding strategy to mitigate the sigpificant
negative traffic impacts upon Rodeo Drive resultin.g trom the development of Vill~e
Glen. The decision to annex this property and to permit a maior development to occur
within, create~ in the words of Mayor Lady, a moral responsibility on behalf of the City
to craft mitigation measures to minimize the problems created by the additional vehicle
use of the street following finalization of the project.
As a result of the agreement to annex Village Glen,.. a dozen Rodeo Drive residents and
members of the City's Public Works Department have worked diligently over the last 10
months to come up with a financially feasible traffic mitigation plan which win
successfully address the correlative problems of excessive vehicle speeds and, to a lesser
extent high traffic volumes. After countless neighborhQod workshops and meeting$ with
the citizens.. and a nearly 90% showin.g of support among the neighbors, we and the City
staff have come up with the plan which is presently pending before the Council.
Before we turn our attention to this proposal, we believe that a brief historical review of
the traffic problems at issue here may prove to be beneficial for all concerned.
According to the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan.. Rodeo Drive is
classified as a local street. A local street is defined a:i follows: <'Local streets provide
direct access to land uses and are .generally residential. Therefore, it is important to
eliminate throug}1-traffic. ConseqJlently, local streets are qften designed to curve.. turn,
or cul-de-sac and to carry as iiI/Ie lrqffic as possible. " (Emphasis added)
This classification is a fair one in that the street is entirely residential in character and has
55 homes and 53 driveways that ITont upon the roadway. Exhibit #1 of the attached
packet shows the layout of the street.
Rodeo Drive~ which opened for public use in early 1989~is approximately 2400 hundred
feet long. From Grace Lane to Emerald Bay" the street is approx. 700 feet long. From
Emerald Bay to the intersection at Mercedes,.. the street is approx. 1700 long. The speed
limit is 25 mph.
When the Royal Oaks community was being planned 20 years ago~ the consensus among
traffic engineers was the wider the street" the better. As a result" Rodeo is 40 feet wide
and has no landscaped parkway. Moreover" as depicted in the photograph in Exhibit #2,
the adjoining houses are set far back ITom the street. creating the impression of
significant maneuvering space for commuting motorists, further contributing to a belief
that high speeds are safe and acceptable.
We know from our mistakes that wide streets encourage high speed and,. as we have
become more enlightened in our modem urban planning, we are strivin,g to return. our
neighborhoods to a more traditional design,.. one in which our streets are narrow "with
adjacent landscaped parRways. Berry Gardens and Villa.ge Glen are prime local examples
of this type of resident and pedestrian mendly subdivision design.
The street has several changes in grade elevations. As Exhibit #3 shows" the road goes
slightly uphill ITom Grace to Emerald Bay,. is nearly level :ftom Emerald Ba.y to 240
Rodeo, becomes severely sloped to approx. 14.5 % beyond 300 Rodeo.> and drops nearly
12% near 388 Rodeo to the intersectiQn with Mercedes.
These unique factors have combined to create a traffic problem for the City and the
residents formore'than 11 years. In September,. 1995,. Chief TerBorch,. while addressing
the Traffic Commission in an earlier public hearing concerning these issues" remarked
that the street was poorly engineered and that its design flaws made it impractical to
expect that drivers using the southbound lane of travel would observe the speed limit.
The Chief pointed to the street slope and its width as factors contributing to the problems.
As an aside, these flaws were the cause of a recent collision in the 400 block, which is
depicted in the photos attached as Exhibit #4. This coIlision occUlTed' at 5 P.M.,.. in a
location occupied moments earlier by several grade school-aged children.
We first came to the Traffic Commission with our concerns in 1990. The city studied the
traffic circulation., volume" and speeds on Rodeo at that time, and, with strong support
trom Chief TerBorch, the Commission directed the Public Works Department to post a
stop sign at the intersection of Mercedes and Rodeo.
While useful in a limited way~. the installation of the stop sign has not proved to be the
panacea we had hoped it would become. Often it seems that the stop s~n requirement is
-
.
observed more often in the breach than in the performance. The situation deteriorated as
the surrounding open spaces were developed and traffic volume and speeds increased.
In 1991, residents once again sought help trom the City for our problems. In response to
citizen concerns, the Public Works Department measured traffic volumes for Rodeo
between Grace and Emerald Bay over a 48-hour period in May, 1991. As noted in
Exhibit #5, the street was carrying approximately 800 vehicle trips per day. The City
took no remedial action at that time.
As the adjoining neighborhoods, such as Rancho Grande, the Grace Churc~ and the
surrounding county areas developed~ traftlc speeds and volumes seemed to grow
exponentialiy. In 1995, the residents shared their cpncerns with city officials and SQught
a remedy for these problems. Despite the best efforts of the Police Department and Chief
TerBorch, who responded rapidly and professionally to requests for additional
enforcement of the traffic laws~ the Department's limited resources prevented it ffom
devoting an Qfficer to our street fur more than a limited time period. Speed and stop sign
violations continued unabated despite the best efforts of our police professionals.
At the Chief" s urgin~ the neighbors turnecl once again.- to the Public Works Department
and the Traffic Commission. In May, 1995, at the direction of the Traffic Commission,
city staff started again to assess the neighborhood's circulation issues. Among these
efforts, the staff conducted volume surveys along Rodeo between Emerald Bay and
Mercedes. The first survey was conducted between May 22 and May 28,. and the second
occurred ITom June 27 through July 5.
As shown in Exhibit #6, traffic volumes had increased significantly over the preceding 4
years. The numbers discerned during these studies were unsettiing and disheartening.
The street was now carrying upwards of 1500 vehicle trips per day. As Exmnit#7 shows,
during peak weekday travel periods, the street between Emerald Bay and Mercedes was
carrying more than 66 vehicle trips per hour. The results of these surveys were reported
to the residents and the Commission on September 18, 1995
In his staff report to the Traffic Commissio~ (see attached Exhibit #8) former Public
Works Director John Wallace noted that these current counts indicated that previous
proiections for the street were low. Mr. WaUace also stated that the original design for
Rodeo did not provide for the type and volume of traffic that woUld eventually use the
streeL He. also. remarked thaLa...la.caLstreet..hecome~ nncomfortable. with...'lolnme~ over
1,000 vehicles per day. The street was now regularly carrying -1500 trips per day. As of
May,. 1995,. Rodeo Drive was carrying almost 50-80% more traffic than it was was
designed to accommodate.
In additio~ Mr. Wallace,. citing information ITom consultant Omni-Means, reported that
Rancho Grande Park would generate between 40 weekday vehicle trips and up to 120
weekend trips for Rodeo. Mr. Wal1ace estimated the combined traffic flow anticipated for
Rodeo after build-out to be as much as 2000 vehicle trips per day.
.--....-...------,,-...-------
.
In his conciusion~ Mr. Wallace recommended that vehicle speed on Rodeo could be
controiled by the instaliation of traffic calming devices, including speed humps and the
narrowing of the roadway at strategic locations.
During the September 18, 1995, public hearing, Chief TerBorch spoke strongly in
support of our concerns. He indicated to the Commission that he could not spare enough
ofticers to adequately police Rodeo Drive for traffic violations. He stated. that police
surveys established that the speeds of southbound vehicles in the 300-400 block regularly
exceeded the 25 mph limit and speeds in excess of 40 mph were common. The Chief
also stated that northbound vehicles traveiing in the 200-300 block were averaging
between 25 and 30 mph.
The Commission voted to accept Mr. Wallace's analysis of the problem and to adopt his
conclusions. The Commission decided to find an adequate remedy to mitigate these
traffic issues by evaluating the instaliation of traffic calming devices on Rodeo. Over, the
next several months the Commission worked diligently to fashion a solution to our
neighborhood's problem. The Commission considered a wide array of remedies. On
January 26, 1996, the Commission reconvened and concluded that speed humps were the
mo&t viable solution to. Rtldeo Drive's traffic troubles. The Commission decided. that the
City needed specific guidelines for the installation of speed humps and directed staff to
craft these standards. On February 26, 1996, the Commission voted to recommend that
the Council adopt the guidelines. On April 1, 1996, the Ci~y Council enacted into law the
speed hump guidelines promulgated by the Commission. It was under the auspices of this
ordinance that the Council elected to install speed humps on Newport Ave. last year.
Beginning in late February'H 1996,. in an effort to comply with the newly enacted
ordinance, we b~gan canvassing the neighborhood and holding meeting with the residents
in order to secure support for statrs speed hump proposal. Even though the City
Attorney stated that the term "affected residents'? referred only to those who had a Rodeo
Drive address, we took special efforts to include Emerald Bay residents as well: The
petition circulated by the project's supporters was signed by ']2610 of the residents of
Rodeo Drive and by all but 2 of the hQmeowners on Emerald Bay, bringing the overall
level of documented support to 84%. (See attached Exhibit # 9)
On Apri115,.1996, the Traffic Commission found that the traffic on Rodeo met all of the
established warrants and voted to recommend to the City Council that speed humps be
piace4 Qn Rodeo Drive. (see Exhibit # 10). On April 23,.1996, by a 4-1 vote (Council
member Lady casting the lone vote in favor), the Council decided to reject the staff
..proposal for speed humps and,.. in the alternative,.. to only install 4 way stop signs at the
intersections of Rodeo and Grace, and Emerald Bay and Rodeo. The Council seemed to
believe that stop signs would serve as an adequate solution to the problem.
While the new stop signs did slightly mitigate traffic impacts on Rodeo between Grace
and Emerald Bay ~ conditions continued to deteriorate on the street between Emerald Bay
and Mercedes.
- ---------
Neighbors returned to the Traffic Commission in December, 1997, again seeking some
reliefftom the increasing speeds on the street. The Public Works Department undertook
additional speed and volume surveys for Rodeo. According to the results of these new
surveys reported in Mr. Wallace's January 27, 1997 staff report to the Commission (See
Exhibits # 6 and 11)" the street was now carrying an average of 1600 vehicle trips per
weekday, and an average of 1500 vehicle trips per day on the weekends. These results
establish that the total average daily trip count for Rodeo increased..by neady 350 vehicle
trips between 1995 and 1997,. and doubled overall in less than 6 years. For comparison
purposes, it should be noted that a vehicle count taken by the City in late 1996 for
Rancho Parkway, the regional collector-street, showed an average of less than 800 trips
per day.
The City staff also conducted speed surveys at various locations along the street. As the
data set forth in Exhibit #12 shows, the average speed at the three locations utilized for
both weekdays and weekends exceeded the speed limit of 25 mph. In some locations,\, the
average speed clocked was more than 2 mph over the speed limit. It is important to note
that these speed averages were determined after the 1996 installation of stop signs at
Grace and Emerald Bay. It is also important to note that the concept of "average speed"
can be quite deceiving,. indeed. For example, while the <<average" speed at that time was
slightly above the limit, this tInding shows that for vehicles traveling southbound past
282 Rodeo weekday afternoons at the safe speed of 18 mph, there were an eq~ number
of vehicles moving through the neighborhood at the dangerous speed of36 mph.
After holding several pubiic hearings, the Traffic Commission decided to diagonally
stripe the street between Mercedes and the top of the slope in the 270 block and to instail
several lines of Botts dots. UnfOrtunately, the effect on the problem was negJigible. In
1998, after reviewing the value of this effort, the Commission concluded that the painted
roadway and dots had not brought about. any change. in the problem;. Asa resul~ the
Commission decided to discontinue the program and to let the paint and dots deteriorate
withQutfurther maintenance.
In March,. 1999,. the staff placed the new City radar trailer in the 400 block of Rodeo for
approximately 44 hours. The trailer charted speeds for traffic traveling downhill, or
southbound, from the top of the hiil to just north of the stop siWl at Mercedes. Results of
this survey establish that of the 1719 vehicles radared, more than 800 were exceeding the
speed limit with many traveling more than 12 mph over the limit. The maximum-clo((ked
speed was 55 mph. The survey results are depicted on Exhibit # 13. Please bear in mind
that the trailer only detects the first car in a group of moving vehicles and, therefore~ the
numbers noted may be artificially low.
The survey results also show a very interesting driving pattern with respect to peak flow
volumes and the frequency of trips during the peak travel hours. As shown on Exhibits #
14 and 15, during peak travel hours,. the street carries a car every 37 seconds and more
than half of these cars is speeding. In addition, the survey establishes that almost 60% of
the trips occur between 11 AM and 7 PM, the time period in which children and other
pedestrians most often use the street and sidewalks.
-. '~"-..'._'.._--
In August~ 1999~ the trailer was placed at 255 Rodeo for approximately 46 hours and
charted speeds tor vehicles traveling uphill~ or northbound~ ITom the top of the hill
heading for the intersection with Emerald Bay. Even though all vehicles radared were
completing a significant climb up a slope that measures 14 degrees~ the survey proves
that of the 1135 cars note~ approximately 580 were traveling at or above the speed limit.
These results are shown on Exhibit # 16.
The statT has concluded that the March survey establishes that 60% of the vehicles
traveling on Rodeo approaching the intersection with Mercedes were exceeding the
limits~ thereby bringing the street within the warrants set forth in the speed hump
guidelines.
In October~ 1999~ during public hearings on the request for certification of the EIR fur the
Viliage Glen annexation, traffic engineering consultants for the City told the Plan~ng
Commission that Rodeo currently carries nearly 2000 vehicle trips per day at present.
These experts also stated that the development of the Villa.ge Glen homesites and the
elementary school would add an additional 350 vehicle trips per day to Rodeo.. After the
EIR was written, Lucia Mar representatives announced in a Commission hearing that the
school playground would be open for use by the public,. including practice sessions
sponsored by the various youth sports groups such as A YSO and the 5 Cities basketball
program. As a resuit~ the EIR traffic projections do not take into account the traffic that
will be generated by these and other after-school uses. In addition, as Rancho Grande
phase 4 comes on line~ a significant~ yet unknown... number of vehicles ITom these new
homes will add to the traffic on Rodeo. Finally~ when Rancho Grande Park is finished~ as
many as. 120 or more vehicle trips will be added to the Rodeo total. By the year 2002,
Rodeo could be carrying up to 2500 vehicle trips per day. If the recent sUNey data holds
true~ more than 1200 of these cars- will- be speeding.
As noted above~ in November~ 1999" due in part to the near unanimous support of Royal
Oaks residents for the school prQiect~ the Council,. during the Village Glen public
hearings, directed the city staff to work with the residents on Rodeo to develop a
mitigation plan and a funding strategy to address the problems of excessive. speed on
Rodeo Drive.
On January 24,..2000~ concerned residents met with the Traffic Commission to discuss
these issues" and the Commission gave its blessing to the neighbors and city staff to begin
working toward a resolution of this problem. Thereafter ~ the residents and staff worked
closely to develop a plan to mitigate the speed and volume problems on the street. The
end result came after all concerned considered every known traffic mitigation measure.
References" including the Institute of Traffic Engineers and various resources :trom other
jurisdictions~ including a massive study: by the city of Boulder, Co.~ were consulted. In
the end, the participants crafted a plan, which included the installation of a concept
dubbed by Public \V orks Director Don SpagnolQ as "modified speed humps.1-?
;Modified speed humps" are a blend of two weB known mi6gation measures: (1) speed
humps" which the City has aiready utilized on Newport Ave.~ and (2) ;"ulb-outs~' which
are landscaped curb extensions which narrow the street to more traditional widths. Bulb-
outs have two significant mitigating attributes that contribute to their succes.s in slowing
traffic. Firstly" they narrow the street" which has the impact of reducing the outer limits of
the roadway" causing motorist to slow to speeds drivers now consider safe. Secondly" as
the landscaped tree canopies mature, the driver's perceptions of safe speeds are also
reduced" thereby forcing motorists to consciously co.nsider their vehicles~ speeds with
more frequency.
it is the belief of the staff and the residents. that... in cQmbination,>- these. measures win
bring speeds down to within safe levels. Included as Exhibit # 17 are a series of
computer enhanced photos showing. how the ';;modified speed humps" would appear after
installation. Where the street slope exceeds 6%, the staff has recommended the creation
of '''visual speed humps" which wiU inc.orporate bulb-outs similar to those farther up! the
street and striped painted on the roadway to simulate speed humps. Exhibit # 17 has an
enhanced photo of these "visual speed humps."
In order to show sensitivity to those Rodeo residents who have limited street parkiIl& the
plan calls for two types of bulb-outs; a 14-fOOtwide. bulb-out and an 8-foot wide bulb-
out. The current plan calls fur the instailation of 3 humps with i 4 foot wide bulb-outs, 3
speed humps with 8 foot wide bulb-outs (installed where street parking is at a premium)
and two '''visual" humps (striped portions of the street without the humps) with 14 foot
wide bulb-outs~ The width of the roadway between the.bulb-outs win vary trom 22 to 24
feet at the discretion of the Public Works Director. Exhibit # 18 shows these different
types of humps from an overhead perspective.
The resources consulted. by the staff and the neighbors. establish that speed 'humps work
effectively fur streets with a 25 mph limit. Fonner Public Works Director Wallace
reported in his April, 1996 ;"Initial Study" that speeds within the posted limit or over the
limit to a reasonable degree would provide safe. ac.ce~over the hump-so For iUustrative
purposes, we have attached as Ex1nDit # 19~ information obtained trom the city of
Portland" Ore." which demonstrates...the very successful results of that city's experience
with. the use of speed humps to cairn traffic on its residential streets. Of Neatest
significance for our purposes. is. PQrtland's. finding that speed humps reduced the
maximums by approximately 6 mph and the percentage of speeding vehicles trom 70
percent to about 30 percent. Data obtained from several other cities utilizing 12 ft. sJ,>eed
humps, (attached as Exhibit # 20) includiIlg San Die15o, Berkeley, Bellevue.. Tucson,
Orlando, and Thousand Oaks confirm the validitv: of Portland'>'s successful experiences
with speed humps.
Moreover, the City's own experience with speed humps proves their suitability. Recent
surveys, reported to the Traffic Commission in Marc~ show that traffic speeds have been
materially reduced on Newport. Ave. since the intrQduction of speed humps. In addi~ion,
a letter recently submitted by nearly all Newport residents.. attached as Exhibit #21 ~
---~,----~ -------------
.
establishes that the people who live on Newport believe that the humps have significantly
slowed traffic on their street.
On March 20~ 2000~ we returned to the Commission to display our plan. After holding a
public hearin~ the Commission voted unanimously to direct the staff to fonnalize the
proposal and authorized the proponents to begin discussions with the "affected residents"
of Rodeo Drive.
Neighbor organizers initiated numerous meeting with as many affected residents along
Rodeo as would come to these gatherings. Exhibits were shown and questions were
answered. Afterward" those in attendance were asked to show their opposition or support
for the proposal. As of today~ nearly 90% of the people living on Rodeo Drive agree with
the stafPs pian fur traffic mitigation. (Exhibit # 22).
On May 22~ 2000, the Tratiic Commission held its iirst public hearing on the plan
presented by the City staff During the hearing, the City Fire Chief raised an obiection to
the proposal because he believed that the speed humps would reduce his. large-vehicle
response times of the entire length of the roadway by approximately 30 seconds. After
taking comment trom other interested parties, the Commission voted. to refer the matter
back to the Public Works staff to investigate other mitigation alternatives suggested by
menibers of the Commission.
On July 17" 2000, the matter returned to the Commission for a final vote on the proposal.
The Commission reviewed the staff's analyses of the various alternatives suggested
during the May meeting. After the public hearing. the Commission voted unanimously to
recommend that the Council adopt the staff's original proposal fur the 8 "modified speed
humps. yj It is this plan which is currently before the Council for consideration.
While it is prudent for decision-makers to expect that this plan will draw complaints trom
other people:>- including some who live on quieter~ surrounding streets who will protest the
"inconvenience~ of driving at the posted 11mit, the principal objection at issue here comes
trom the Fire Chief In May:>- ChiefFibic~ told the Traffic Commission that the proposed
speed. humps would slow his large vehicle response times by up to 5 seconds a hump (30
seconds in total) and that his vehicles would suffer accelerated deterioration due to the
impacts of traversing the humps during emergency responses.
While we have enormous respect fur our fire department and our chief and recognize that
our firefighters do a marveiousjob of insuring public safety even though the department
is~ in large measure)- staffed. by volunteers,- we submit that the ChieFs concerns are, at
best, speculative in nature. As noted above speed humps work and. have been adopted by
dozens of cities across the country,. notwithstanding the effects such humps have on
public safety response times.
The reason these cities have made this choice is clear: High volumes of vehicles speeding
through residential neighborhoods create a clear and present danger to those who live on
these streets. Just last April in the early afternoon,. a speeding car driven erratically by a
person who did not live on Rodeo Drive" left the roadway, crossed the sidewalk,. nearly
striking a light standard and a fire hydrant, and demolished a concrete retaining wall
separating two homes in the 200 block of Rodeo. The homeowners aftected believe that
if the car had not struck the wall, it would have careened into the side of one of the
houses. A photo of this collision is attached as Exhibit # 23.
The principal questio~ which conftonts this Honorable body, is one that involves a
balancing of competing interests. The Council must balance the clearly demonstrated
need for traffic mitigation for Rodeo Drive and the likely eftectiveness of the staff's plan
against the speculative impacts of a mere 30 second delay upon the department's ability
to provide a timely response.
The proposal currently pending before the Council is the product of an enonnous amount
of research, analysis, and hard work by both the concerned neighbors and the City staff.
It represents the last best chance to fix a decade's worth of traffic problems on our st;eet.
The choice the staff and we are urging the Council to make is the one, which embraces
common sense and good judgment. Rodeo Drive is first and foremost a residential street.
Our families and many others live along this road. Our homes and yards ftont upon the
street. The very quality of our lives is tied to", impacted upon and diminished by the
traffic patterns on our street. Those of us who are elderly, disabled, or who have young
children have grave concerns about the dangers presented by the high speeds and volume
of traffic on our street. Children cannot play safely in their ftont yards and older people
assume an unnecessary risk when they cross the street to retrieve their mail. How can we
in good conscience classify a neighborhood. as "residential.... wnen the citizens who reside
there feel compelled to retreat to their backyards for their own safety?
Government' sprinciple reason for being is to provide for the safety and wellbeing of its
citizens. Ali other government functions are secondary to or supportive of this obj~tive.
When an issue of public safety is in question, we must challenge ourselves beyond mere
compliance and must resolve to do what is right whenever possible. If one child is
i~iured or dies due to our possible lack of actio~ win we be able to answer with
assurance to our conviction to protect and serve the public?
As one can see from the staff reports, every alternative measure that has been the subject
of discussion tor over a decade has been analyzed and evaluated by the staff. And,. as one
can see, no other alternative holds the promise of success for a long-tenn reduction in
vehicle speeds save for the modified speed humps. We recognize that city financial
resources are limited and the cost of any capital improvement project should be carefully
evaluated. This measure is no exception. As the Council ponders the financial impacts
of this resolutio~ we su.ggest that all consider that the value of a human life cannot be
calculated or defined in terms of dollars and cents. Financial concerns should,. in great
part, yield to the protection and preservation of the welfare of our ~itizens. This project
represents a valid expenditure of city funds.
We have complete trust and confidence in the Council's ability to discern the true issues
and to appropriately resolve this matter.

FROM:
S U ill ECf: Rodeo Drive traffic considerations
DATE: September 18, 1995
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended dmt the Commission review this information, receive puhlic input and
direct Staff as to any further actions to be taken with respect to traffic studies and traffic
mitigation me<1sures that it wishes to be considered for Rodeo Drive.
I
BACKGROUND:
Previously, the City received several communic~1LioI15 concerning the speed and volume of
traffic on Rodeo Drive. Staff h~lS researched the volume of traffic projected at build out of
various nearby properties, including the Presbyterian Church and Rancho Grande Park and
was evaluated the current traffic on Rodeo Drive compared to past traffic studies.
Rodeo Drive traffic volume has increased over the years as the street has collected traffic
from new development and from development outside of the City limits in that it provides
a short cut access to the Brisco Road interchange with Highway 101. This has concerned
local residents with respect to the volume and the speed of the traffic along this street. In
reviewing the background information, Staff reviewed a traffic study by William Heath
(] 99 1) for the proposed Presbyterian Church site and a tcarric study for the Rancho Gram.le
Park, performcd hy Omni-Means, Traffic C()n~lIltants (1992). Current traffic counts indicate
. III;I( previous traffic projcctio/ls for Hodeo Drive may have heen low.
Existing Traffic:
The existing traffic has been evaluated using standard traffic counters set out in two periods
of time. The first was from May 22 to 28, 1995, 'and the second was June 27 to July 5, 1995.
During thesc periods, counts were taken at several different locations. In the more recent
counts, Rodco Drive showed weekday Average Daily Traffic (ADT) ranging from 956 ADT
to 1,862 ADT dcpcnding upon location and day of week. Weekend ADTs were similar in
range, but highcr in somc segments of the road than during weekdays. The highest weekend
ADT was 1,685 vehicles for a Sunday and the highest ADT for a weekd<\y was 1,862
vehicles.
>
.
-_.- rriijcctcd trunic frolll Preshyterian Church site:
The projected tmffic to be generated by the Presbyterian Church site was based upon three
phases of construction to be completed by the year of 2002. The total ADT expected at
completion was 240 trips. .
Projected traffic Uancho Grande Park
The previous traffic study for Rancho Grande Park did not specifically identify the traffic
volume to be tributary to Rodeo Drive, although it shows turning movements from James
Way onto Rodeo Drive. In reviewing the report, it is implied that a relatively small amount
of traffic. was to be tributary to Rodeo Drive, In discussing some of this information with
Omni-Means, it is estimated that ADT tributary from the park onto Rodeo Drive would
probably range from 40 vehicles during the weekday to possibly as high as 120 vehicles
during the weekend.
Total projected traffic:
The total combined average traffic flow an~;cipated on Rodeo Drive, including Rancho
Grande Park traffic when all areas are buill out is estimated to be approximately 1,500
vehicles per day for weekdays and over 2,000 vehicles per day for the weekend. It is also
apparent that the Rancho Grande Park, although contributing to this load, is relatively
minor when considcring the ovemll tmfric volumc being generated through other
development, as well as from traffic generated from fringe, areas outside the City limits in
the County territory.
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the original design for Rodeo Drive did not provide for the type and
volume of traffic that will eventually use this local street. It has traffic volumes more
suitable for a collector street. In round numbers, a local street becomes uncomfortable with
traffic volumes over 1,000 vehicles per day. Especially in a situation where homes front on
the street with families entering and exiting driveways. The road capacity however, from
a traffic volume stand point could accommodate well over 4,000 cars per day as it operates
as a collector, if it had no residences fronting the roadway.
Therefore, in reviewing possible mitigations for this problem, there are several alternatives.
The first alternative would deal with controlling speed on Rodeo Drive by the installation
of "traffic calming devices". These would include speed bumps, rumble strips, and other
facilities, including the narrowing of the street at strategic locations. This would be
supplemented by more frequent enforcement of speed limits.
The second alternative would involve diverting some of the tmEfic to alternate routes. At
the present time, this is not likely because Rodeo Drive is used to reach the freeway
interchange at Brisco Road. However, a proposed subdivision to the north of Rodeo Drive
has been submitted to the City, that could include a new collector road thereby leaving
Rodeo Drive more as a local road. This proposal will be considered in the near future by
the Planning Commission and City Council as a general plan amendment. In the meantime,
it would be advisable for the residents, a 11<,1 the Traffic Commission to consider the
possibility of traffic calming devices, and the expense of these measures.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
-
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Public Hearing will be held on the TRAFFIC CALMING
MODIFICATIONS AND INSTALLATION OF STOP SIGNS - RODEO DRIVE
Applicant City of Arroyo Grande
Location Rodeo Drive between West Branch and James Way
Proposal . Install four-way stop signs at Rodeo Drive and Emerald
Bay Drive and Rodeo Drive and Grace Lane. Install speed
. hwnps within this stretch of roadway on Rodeo Drive
Environmental Detennination Negative Declaration
Review period closes April 23, 1996.
On April 15, 1996, the City Traffic Commission considered the installation of speed humps and stop sig~ on
Rodeo Drive. A previo~ proposal to install a one-way street was rejected. At this time the City Council wiU
consider the imInediate installation of four-way stop signs at Rodeo Drive and Emerald Bay Drive and at Rodeo
Drive and Grace Lane. Speed humps at approximately eight (8) locations along this stretch of Rodeo Drive will
be considered for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 1996-97 budget process.
In 'compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the Public Works Department recommended a
Negative Declar:arion be prepared for this project. A Draft Negative ~Jaration is now available for public
~ew. Comments will be accepted at this public "hearing.
Any person affected or concerned by this application may submit written comments to the Public Warks
Department before the City Council hearing, or apI3=' and be heard in support of. or opposition to, the project
and the environmental impacts at the time of the hearing.
A.ny person interested in the proposal can contact the Public Works Depad:!l1ent at 214 E. Branch Street. A.T'['()Yo
Grande. California, during normal business hours (8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.). Project infonnation is a.vailable for
public inspection at the above address. A copy of the Negative Declaration is also available at the South COW1ty
Library. A nominal fee will be charged for copies of the Negative Declaration.
If you challenge an item in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at
the public hearing described in this ~otice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City Council at. or prior
to. the public hearing.
Failure of any person to receive the notice shall not constitute grounds for any court to invalidate the actiQn of
the legislative body for which "the notice was given.

. Average Daily Traffic on Weekdays
1995 1997 Difference
North of Grace Lane
- Northbound 646 800 + 154
- Southbound 339 261 - 78
Between Emerald and Mercedes
- Northbound 429 523 + 94
- Southbound 837 1084 +247
What these volumes show is that during the week, traffic has mostly increased no~ of Grace Lane
and south of Emerald Bay Drive. This indicates the increase in traffic is due to the growth of the
neighborhood itself: or traffic exiting the area after having entered the area ITom other str~ts, not
from 'traffic passing through the area on Rodeo Drive.
AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC - SUNDAYS
1995 1997 Difference
North of Grace Lane
- Northbound 1047 1164 +117
- Southbound . 547 295 -252
Between emerald Bay and Mercedes
- Northbound 508 504 - 4
- Southbound 996 1034 + 38
.
During Sunday, traffic has mostly increased north of Grace Lane. This indicates the increase in traffic
is probably due to vehicles visiting the church via James Way and no longer through the
neighborhood from West Branch Street.
Due to the infrequency of traffic violations in the area during patrol times, staffis recommending that
a speed survey be postponed until the new full-equipped radar trailer is available. Speed surveys
conducted by direct use of staff are extremely costly in both time and money.
The Commission has previously considered variety of traffic control devices and circulation
restrictions. The present configuration was a compromise that seemed to beSt suit the
neighborhood's needs and discourage traffic ITom entering the area. This has been partly successful.

The Traffic Committee
The City of Arroyo Grande
Arroyo Grande, CA
Dear Sirs:
At the recent meeting of the committee concerning the traffic problems on
Rodeo Dr., Mr, Dick Franks postulated that traffic mitigation was unsuccessful ,on
Newport Dr, and predicted the same for Rodeo Dr., if it was implemented.
Information available to the Institute of Transportation Engineers .
contradicts Mr. Franks' intuition. I have included a number of graphs that show
the effect of speed bumps on 32 streets in Por1land OR.
Page 1 shows the reduction of speed for both the 85th and 50th . .
percentile before the use of bumps and after. Notice that the 85th percerytile had
a speed of 32 mph before and 26 mph: after. The same sort of reduction occurs
for the 50th percentile being 22 mph after and 26.5 mph before. Sign~fiC8ntly, at
the bump itself, the spe~s were reduced even more. .. · !r~{,
Page 2 sho~s th~ distributi~n shiftJ)etore and after.t~~ intr~du~!~~~ of :'
speed bumps. NotIce that the maxtmum was reduced approXimately 6mph and
the percentage of vehicles exceeding the'speed limit was reducedfrorir~70
percent to about 30 percent. '- ~': .~r ( , ~i
':! - .- . ,.' -.-~
Page 3 contradicts the commonly qeld:',yi,ew ~hat driversaceeJerate
rapidly after passing the bump~As can baseen,:not only is the speed reduced
significantly by the bump but ittakes approXimately 200 feet to return to'the
speed limit.';'.. ..:,;'''',::
These data, ~upported by professional. transportation engineer~1"ilqlearly
show that the propo~ mitigation on Rodeo Dr. conforms with iri1plel'T1:~tations
in other cities and that there is no reason to expect'different results. Traffic
mitigation procedures should be based on engineering analyses and not on
- ".yo
hearsay evidence. I would hope that this study as well as others will lead the
committee to approve the mitigation plan for Rodeo Dr, " .~
Sincerely yours,

Re: Newport Ave, speed humps
A little over a year ago, speed humps were installed on Newport Ave. The
residents of NewportAve. would like to state for the record that we feel the speed
humps are serving their intended purpose of calming traffic. While nothing short
, of a street closure or constant police presence would ever slow every car to the
posted speed of 25m ph. We feel that there has been a considerable drop in the
median speed,
We are pleased with the effect the humps are having on our street. It is a safer
place to walk children to and from school, and to visit our neighbor's houses. It is
easier to pull in and out of our driveways. The school buses have also slowed
down. The general overall feeling on the street is that our excessive speed
problem is much more under control than before the humps were installed.
Thank you for helping make it possible for us to enjoy a more positive quality of
life.

To The Members of the City Council:
Several months ago we attended the first meeting of the Traffic Commission which
addressed the question of speed humps and planter areas along Rodeo Drive. '
There were two speakers at that meeting who talked against the speed humps, and I
thought their reasons were justifiable, The fire chief said the presence of humps would
slow the response time of emergency vehicles. It would seem to me that this is a very
serious concern. Just recently a fire destroyed a home in Atascadero, and the fire chief
said it was because a winding road leading to the house slowed the vehicles down. Speed
humps will do the same.
Another speaker at that first meeting reported that all the data collected on the efficiency
of speed humps or bumps shows that for a brief period of time, at the beginning, they do
in fact have an impact on traffic. However, he also stated that after about six months,
drivers return to their old pattern of driving when they realize that in fact, the humps do
not slow them down. Can you justify the cost of the project with that infonnation on
hand?
At that meeting most of the members of the commission expressed the opinion that the
traffic calming devices seemed unfit for the area, and we left the meeting feeling that
saner heads had come to the right conclusion.
Imagine our surprise to learn that at the July 17 meeting of the commission they
unanimously supported all the measures--speed humps and planter areas. What happened
in that brief period of time to change all their minds?
There are residents of Rodeo Drive who feel that the use of speed humps is totally
,unnecessID, and will have a negative effect on the neighborhood. Additionally, we are
concerned about the cost of the proposal, and feel there are areas in Arroyo Grande with
greater traffic problems than we have.
We urge all the members of the counce! to consider these factors when evaluating this
project.

MEMORANDUM Attachment 6
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER~
SUBJECT: RODEO DRIVE;
REQUEST FOR SPEED HUMPS
DATE: MAY 22, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission review the homeowner's request to install
(B) eight modified speed humps on Rodeo Drive and provide a recommendation to the City
Counci I.
FUNDING:
The cost to install eight modified speed humps is estimated to be $50,000.
DISCUSSION:
In 1990, residents of Rodeo Drive addressed the Traffic Commission with concerns of
excessive speeding and high volumes of traffic on their street. At that time, the City placed
a stop sign on Rodeo Drive and Mercedes Drive and the speed was lowered to 25 mph,
In 1996, the residents returned to the Commission regarding the same concerns. The
majority of the neighborhood favored speed humps, However, the City Council denied the
installation of the speed humps and approved the addition of stop signs on Rodeo Drive
at Grace lane and Emerald Bay Drive,
In 199B, the residents requested that the speed on Rodeo Drive be addressed. At that
time, the City installed Botts Dots and diagonal striping at various locations on Rodeo
Drive between Mercedes Drive and Emerald Bay Drive.
On December 30, 1999 staff received a letter from the residents of the Royal Oaks
Community requesting traffic calming measures be considered on Rodeo Drive, It was
requested that modified speed humps be installed.
At the January 24th Traffic Commission meeting, a presentation was made by the
homeowners concerning the speed on Rodeo Drive. The residents requested that
modified speed humps be installed and funded by the City.
In accordance with the City's adopted Speed Hump Policy, the proposed street must meet
eight criteria including the evaluation of the street type (the requirement is for the street
7-1
to be a local street generally with less than a 6% grade); traffic volume (minimum volume
to be 1,000 trips per day); traffic speed (60% of the vehicles must be exceeding the 25
mph speed limit); and traffic shift (an evaluation will be made as to possible shifts in traffic
to other streets), In addition, the guidelines require that 60% of those residents affected
by the speed humps sign a petition requesting installation.
The City has received documentation from the homeowners on Rodeo Driv~ showing more
than 60% support of the affected households, Based on support of the affected
households, staff evaluated the criteria for speed humps in accordance with the adopted
policy and determined that all of the criteria have been met except for the percentage of
vehicles exceeding the speed limit and the minimum traffic volume of 1000 vehicles per
day. The Smart Survey Summary indicates that only the south bound traffic meets the
minimum percentage of vehicles exceeding the 25 mph speed limit of 60% where as the
north bound is only 40% exceeding the limit.
The proposed plan to install the modified speed humps has also been reviewed by the Fire
and Police Department. Concerns by the Fire Department include reduced respor:'lse time
and damage to the equipment. The Police Department only had a concern if the humps
are placed on a grade that exceeds the maximum provided for in the design guidelines,
The homeowners have developed a plan showing the locations of the modified speed
humps. There are three (3) proposed alternative designs as follows:
Alternative A - (3) three visual speed humps: 25 feet roadway width; 6 feet deep and 14
feet wide planter areas.
Alternative B - (3) three speed humps: 25 feet roadway width; 6 feet deep and 8 feet wide
planter. areas,
Alternative C- (2) two speed humps: 22 feet roadway width; 6 feet deep and 14 feet wide
planter areas.
Attached are letters from residents of the surrounding area who support and oppose to the
installation of the modified speed humps.
-
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission review the request for (8) eight modified
speed humps on Rodeo Drive and provide a recommendation to the City Council.

TRAFFIC COMMISSION ' JANUARY 24, 2000,
ARROYO GRANDE, CALIFORNIA 7:00 'PM
Commissioners present: Thomas Owen, Derril Pilkington, L. George Tappan, and Kirk Scott.
-
Commissioner absent: Gary Borda.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Don Spagnolo, Engineering Assistant Albert Ducusin, Chief
of Police Rick TerBorch, and Traffic Commission Clerk Debbie Weichinger.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR DECEMBER 20,1999
It was moved by Commissioner Scott, seconded by Commissioner Tappan and unanimously carried
to approve the minutes for the meeting of December 20, 1999.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Commissioner Tappan nominated Commissioner Kirk Scott as Chair, seconged by Commissioner
Owen and was unanimously carried. Commissioner Scott nominated Tom Owen as Vice Chair,
seconded by Commissioner Pilkington, and was unanimously carried.
RODEO DRIVE; TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES
Mr. Spagnolo indicated that staff received a letter from the Royal Oaks Community dated December
29, 1999 requesting that traffic calming measures be considered on Rodeo Drive.
Larry Greene, 393 Rodeo Drive, said that Rodeo Drive is classified in the Circulation Element as a
local street. He indicated that there is excessive speed and high volume trafficonRodeo Drive. He
said the residents came to the Commission with their concerns in 1990. Atthattime, the City placed
a stop sign on Rodeo/Mercedes and the speed was lowered to 25 mph. He said this helped the area
around the stop sign. With Rancho Grande and County developments, traffic volumes and speed
continued to worsen. Th~ City survey done in 1995 showed 1,800 vehicles per day and speed was
in excess of the speed limit posted. In 1996, residents returned to the Commission; A speed hump
policy was adopted by the City and Rodeo Drive met the warrants for the speed humps. The majority
of the neighborhood favored the speed humps. The City Council denied the installation of speed
humps and approved the addition of stop signs at Rodeo Drive and Grace Lane and Rodeo Drive and
Emerald Bay. .
-
Residents in 1998 again returned to the Commission for help to reduce speed. Atthat time, the City
installed Botts dots and diagonally striped the street on Rodeo Drive between Mercedes and the top
of the slope.
In 1999 the City's radar trailer was placed downhill in the 400 block of Rodeo Drive. The results
showed 1,719 vehicles. In August of 1999, the radar trailer was placed uphill on Rodeo Drive and the
results showed of 1,135 vehicles radar. In October 1999 during public hearings on the request for
certification of the Environmental Impact Report for the Village Glen Annexation project, traffic
engineers told the Planning Commission that Rodeo Drive currently carries nearly 2,000 vehicle trips
per day. The traffic engineer also indicated that with the homes and elementary school, development
will add an additional 350 vehicle trips per day. At that time, the City Council directed staff to develop
a funding strategy to implement mitigation measures addressing the problem of excessive speeds on
Rodeo Drive and to coordinate with the neighborhood residents to seek remedies. He asked that
funding for this project be available in FY 2000-01.
- .
Ron Dodgen, 182 Rodeo Drive, was also concerned with speed and volume. He said the City Council ,
agreed to fund traffic calming measures. The City Council asked that a neighborhood steering
committee be formed to explore traffic calming measures. The committee and City staff is exploring
several measures. The Committee is C\sking the Commission to direct staff to explore appropriate
traffic mitigation and calming alternatives and continue to work with the neighbQrhood to reach
consensus. He further requested that the Commission dir~ct staff to send a report b-ack. to the
Commission for the February meeting regarding funding and engineering issues 'associated with traffic
calming measures. The Committee recognizes that due to budget issues this may be part of more
than one FY budget.
. Joseph F. Sullivan, 396 Mesquite, said that the extension of Mason is clogged by parked vehicles.
He said that the Rodeo residents wish to introduce certain mitigation when there are many other
streets within the City which require mitigation. He said where the residents want mitigation happens
to be a connecting link to the freeway.
Tom Hughes, 239 Rodeo Drive, responded to the previous comment and said Rancho Parkway is the
appropriate way to get to Highway 101.
Commissioner Tappan suggested adding Botts dots on Rodeo Drive north toward Emerald Bay Drive.
He said there needs to a left tum pocket for westbound vehicles at Rancho Parkway. He also asked
why is Emerald Bay closed off? Mr. Spagnolo indicated that the road was closed some years ago.
Commissioner Owen said that the residents on Miller Way did not want their street used as a
thoroughfare. Chief TerBorch agreed with Commissioner Owen and said that the closure was a
condition of the original project.
Commissioner Pilkington suggested humps.
Commissioner Owen said that Tally Ho Road will be impacted by Village Glen project more so than
Rodeo Drive. Most of the students going to the (Village Glen) school will be coming from north and'
east of that area. That school will not impact people coming from the south. He would like to see two
of the three stop signs removed and speed humps installed on Rodeo Drive.
Rick Tellez, 415 Rodeo Drive, expressed the need to control the speed, and said that bulb outs work.
-
It was the consensus of the Commission that staff report back with traffic calming measures and
funding on Rodeo Drive.
FAIR OAKS AVENUENALLEY ROAD; REQUEST FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
Mr. Ducusin indicated that staff received a letter dated December 9, 1999 from Joseph Morales Jr.,
a student from Arroyo Grande High School requesting a traffic signal at the intersection of Fair Oaks
Avenue and Valley Road. The letter states that it is unsafe for school children to cross at the Fair
Oaks Avenue and Valley Road intersection.
Mr. Ducusin referreq to the Traffic Signalization Impa9t Fee map and indicated that a signal was
proposed at this intersection. When the map was adopted there were no priorities set as far as which
order of intersections to be signalized. These are .based on build out population and are analyzed
on a periodic basis to determine if the warrants for a signal are met.
Joseph Morales, 170 South 6th Street, Grover Beach, said this is an unsafe intersection. He
suggested a timed traffic signal.

Since the COlillCil meeting, members of the Royal Oaks Community
have gathered on several occasions to discuss various traffic calming
concepts for our neighborhood. We have also discussed these issues
\vith Don Spagnola, who has indicated that the City will seriously
consider implementing these mitigation measures through a capital
improvement project funded in the 2000-2001 city budget.
Therefore, we respectfuHy request that the City Traffic Commission put
this item on its January 24, 2000, agenda so that we may begin public
discussion of these issues at the earliest possible time. We thank you in

Mr. Don Spagnola
Public Works Director
City of Arroyo Grande
208 East Branch
Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 -
Dear Mr. Spagnola:
We are writing this letter to inform the city of Arroyo Grande that weare in,opposition to
the traffic calming solution proposed at a recent City Council Meeting concerning speed
humps and a narrowing of Rodeo Drive in the Royal Oaks area. Though we do not live
on Rodeo Drive, our street is in effect a cul-de-sac with our only access being Rodeo
Drive so that the use of speed humps east and west of Emerald Bay Drive would mean
that we are directly affected every time we leave our homes. We do not feel this would
be good for our vehicles or our bodies. Speed humps are jarring.enough in parking lots,
let alone city streets.
We do understand and sympathize with our neighbors concerns, but feel other traffic
calming measures should be fully utilized prior to taking such a drastic measure. Perhaps
establishing a left turn only policy for traffic leaving the Grace Bible Church would
alleviate a good portion of traffic on the lower part of Rodeo Drive.
Being that we are directly affected by this proposal we want our voices to be heard in
opposition to this project in its present state. Please let us know of any further
developments regarding the proposal of speed humps.
Sincerely,
A. ,i" ~~. ?ftJ~~.~

Dear Mr. Spagnola
This letter is being written to inform the city that we are in opposition to the current traffic
calming solution proposed for Royal Oaks and specifically for speed humps on Rodeo Drive.
Though we do not live on Rodeo Drive, our street is a cul-de-sac with our only access being
Rodeo Drive. The use of speed humps on Rodeo Drive, both east and West of Emerald Bay
Drive, would mean that we could never leave our homes without being hindered by the humps.
This would be detrimental to our nerves, as well as, our vehicles. We sympathize with our
neighbors, however, we believe that other traffic calming measures should be fully utilized prior
to such a drastic measure. Another solution for a large part of the problem might be to establish a
left turn only in conjunction with the stop sign on Grace lane leading out of the church parking
lot.
Given that we are directly affected we want our voices heard in opposition to the current
proposal and we desire to be kept abreast of any developments on this issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

conjunction with the stop sign on Grace lane leading out of the church parking lot.
Given that we are directly affected we want our voices heard in opposition to the
current proposal and we desire to be kept abreast of any developments on this issue.
Thank you for your consideration:

Dear :Mr. Spagnola,
This letter is being written to inform the city that we are in opposition to the
current traffic calming solution proposed for Royal Oaks and specifically for speed
humps on Rodeo Drive. Though we do not live on Rodeo Drive, our street is a cul-de-sac
with our only access being Rodeo Drive. The use of speed humps on Rodeo Drive, both
East and West of Emerald Bay Drive, would mean that we could never leave our homes
without being hindered by the humps. This would be detrimental to our nerves, as well
as, our vehicles. We sympathize with our neighbors, however, we believe that other
traffic calming measures should be fully utilized prior to such a drastic measure. Another
solution for a large part of the problem might be to establish a left turn only in
conjunction with the stop sign on Grace lane leading out of the church parking lot.
Given that we are directly affected we want our voices heard in opposition to the
current proposal and we desire to be kept abreast of any developments on this issue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: Public Meeting 5-22-00 on Traffic Calming on Rodeo Drive
May we submitt this letter for your consideration, as we will not attend the meeting?
As residents of Rodeo Drive for eleven years, we have seen the traffic.inaease each
year. Due to the new bomes going in on James Way, and the new elementary
school, we support modified speed humps, along with planter areas ud have signed
a previously presented petition.
Can funding come from the new housing development? When we originaUy moved
here we thought the thru traffic would use Rancho Parkway.
We look forward to finally having this traffic problem solved and hope we aD can
work together and fmd a resolution.
Best Wish.... ~

Kirk Scott, Chair May 19,2000
Traffic Commission
City of Arroyo Grande
Re: Rodeo Drive Traffic Mitigation Measures
Dear Chair Scott,
Due to a professional commitment made last year, I am unable to attend the May 22.meeting
of the city Traffic Commission. As a consequence, I write to express my support for the
traffic calming plan crafted by the staff of the Public W orksDepartment in conjunction with
input from many of my neighbors on Rodeo Drive.
I
Since November, 1999, several people who live in the neighborhood have devoted hundreds
of hours of their own time to see this project to completion. We have worked closely with
the city staff to develop and implement a viable and attractive concept for mitigating the
worsening traffic problems which have plagued our street since its opening in 1989. After
the staff developed the plan which is presently pending before you, we worked tirelessly to
communicate the project to our neighbors and to secure their support. As of May 5, 94% of
the residents of homes that front on Rodeo Drive have signed petitions expressing their
support for the city's plan. When this significant showing of approval is joined to the
voluminous data concerning traffic ,speeds and volumes accumulated by the staff, it is clear
that this project more than meets the minimum thresholds set forth in the city's speed hump
ordinance.
The neighborhood's need for traffic calming has been clearly demonstrated to the
Commission during previous public hearings on this matter.. As Mayor Lady has remarked,
the city has a moral responsibility to correct this problem. It is now time to put the city's plan
into action. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
I~G~

- Dear Members:
The issue of traffic speed reduction will soon be on the
Council's agenda and I want to notify you of my full support
for reducing speed and volume on Rodeo Drive.
I recently moved to Rodeo Drive and have been shocked by
the reckless speeds on our street. The local residents have
worked with the city to provide a reasonable solution and I
hope the Council will support us in making our street safe.
Sincerely yours,

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KERRY MCCANTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DIRECTO~
SUBJECT: CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF ARROYO GRANDE AND HIGGINS ASSOCIATES
FOR THE CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE AND
TRAFFIC MODEL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council approve an agreement in the amount of
$51,850 with Higgins Associates.
FUNDING:
The FY 2000-2001 budget appropriates $150,000 for consultant services for the
General Plan update.
There is carry over funding from the FY 1999-2000 budg~t in the amount of
$20,566. These funds were allocated to the Circulation Element update but not
used as a result of the withdrawal of Meyer, Mohaddes and Associates from the
project.
DISCUSSION:
On October 14, 1997, the Council approved a contract with Envicom Corporation
for the General Plan update. The scope of work for the update included the
update of the Circulation Element and development of a traffic model. On
December 8, 1999 Envicom Corporation and the City were notified that Meyer,
Mohaddes and Associates would no longer be available to work on the
Circulation Element. Envicom has not been successful in securing the services
of another consultant to complete the Circulation Element and traffic model and
has recommended that the City secure the services of a traffic-engineering
consultant to complete the effort.
On August 9, 2000 staff sent letters to four consulting firms requesting informal
proposals for the Circulation Element update and modeling components of the
update. Two responses were received. The proposal by Higgins Associates was
received as required by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, August 18, 2000. The other
- ------~--_._-~---- -,"--
proposal was not received until Monday, August 21, 2000. The proposal
received from Higgins Associates was found by staff to be responsive to the
City's needs. Staff has proceeded to negotiate the scope of work and other
relevant matters with Higgins Associates.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement and the scope of
work.
AL TERNA TIVES:
The following alternatives are presented for Council consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendation;
- Do not approve staff's recommendation;

Re: City of Arroyo Grande General Plan Update- Circulation Element and Traffic Model
Dear Mr. McCants,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to provide traffic engineering and transportation
planning services to assist with the preparation of an updated General Plan Circulation Element and
to develop a traffic model for ongoing future use by City Staff This proposal is being submitted per
your Request for Proposals dated August 9, 2000. The proposal includes the following sections.
A Transportation related issues facing the City of Arroyo Grande
B. Currently available information that will be used to assist in the development of the
Circulation Element and traffic model
C. A recommended scope of work for the preparation of the General Plan Circulation
Element
D. The recommended scope of work for the preparation of a traffic model for Staff usage
E. Project Budget
F. Project Schedule
G. A brief statement of Higgins Associates' qualifications
A. ARROYO GRANDE TRANSPORT A TION ISSUES
The City of Arroyo Grande is located in the southern portion of San Luis Obispo County
and is in the metropolitan area including the City of San Luis Obispo, and in the more
inunediate vicinity of the Cities ofPismo Beach and Grover Beach. It is also in the immediate
vicinity of unincorporated areas including Oceano, Nipimo Mesa and the eastern ftinge area
that includes Lopez Lake. It is also within an easy commute distance of the City of Santa
Maria in Santa Barbara County. There is a significant amount of growth pressure not only
within the City of Arroyo Grande but in its immediate vicinity. This will result in increases in
population within and near the city with corresponding increases in traffic.

The city is currently investigating adopting a General P1an that will accommodate a population similar
to was adopted in the 1990 Arroyo Grande General Plan. If this is the case, it will result in about a
15% increase in population within the city limits. However, the city is also considering whether it will
support the Arroyo Linda Specific P1an which is located immediately southeast of the city limits. This
would be a major annexation involving several hundred residences with several hundred thousand
square feet of commercial and industrial tIoor area. The city's current population is about 17,000 with
a General Plan buildout population of about 19,000 without Arroyo Linda. Arroyo Linda would
increase the City's buildout population to about 22,000.
Moderate increases in population are expected to occur in the cities of Pismo Beach and
Grover Beach, primarily due to their limited ability to expand their land areas. The eastern
fringe area will experience continual low density rural residential development as well as
probable increases in tourist activity at Lopez Lake. Tourist activity will also continue to
increase at Pismo Beach which is accessed through Grover Beach as well as the City ofPismo
Beach. Some of the most substantial increases in population will occur in the Nipomo Mesa
area immediately southwest of the City of Arroyo Grande.
The above development will result in traffic volume increases on streets and highways that have been
identified as problematic in previous studies prepared by or for the City of Arroyo Grande or regional
planning agencies. These include the following:
1. The Highway 101 corridor has been recognized to require widening to a six lane
freeway through Arroyo Grande. Caltrans is working with the City ofPismo Beach
as well as Arroyo Grande to investigate increasing capacity on parallel local streets
such as connecting Price Street with Five Cities Drive or extending James Way. This
would allow local traffic to travel primarily within the City ofPismo Beach but also
possibly from Arroyo Grande to Pismo Beach without utilizing the freeway. Although
many of these local street connection alternatives are in the City ofPismo Beach, they
could affect Arroyo Grande traffic and may need to be evaluated in the modeling
effort.
2. The Highway 101/ Brisco Road- Halcyon Interchange is currently been studied for
alternatives to upgrade its configuration to better handle existing and future traffic.
The existing interchange includes the northbound ramps in a diamond configuration
at Brisco Road. These ramps are immediately adjacent to the West Branch Street
intersection and very close to the EI Camino Real intersection along Brisco Road.
There is also limited ability to provide adequate channelization on the Brisco Road
under crossing under Highway 101. The southbound ramps are located at Halcyon
Road and are hook ramps that are the extension of Halcyon Road across the EI
F:\2000\Proposals\AOO-hJIAOO-HJ Scope. wpd

Page 3
Camino Real intersection. The existing overall interchange configuration is non-
standard. Higgins Associates is involved in the evaluation of interchange configuration
alternatives under sub-contract to Dokken Engineering.
3. The existing Highway 10 1/ EI Campo Road at -grade intersection is being investigated
to be upgraded to a diamond interchange. This is due primarily to development in the
Nipomo Mesa area which is in an unincorporated portion of San Luis Obispo County.
The interchange project is being evaluated in a joint effort between the City of
Arroyo Grande, the County of San Luis Obispo and Caltrans. Consideration is also
being given for the interchange to accommodate the proposed Arroyo Linda Specific
Plan which was described earlier in this proposal. Higgins Associates is evaluating
interchange configuration alternatives in a subcontract with Dokken Engineering.
3. The Highway 101IEI Campo Road interchange will have an impact on traffic
operations at the Highway 101/ Traffic Way partial interchange as well as at the
Highway 101/Fair Oaks Avenue southbound off ramp, which is the only local street
access provided at that partial interchange. Both the Traffic Way and Fair Oaks
A venue partial interchanges do not meet Caltrans standards for interchange
configuration or for interchange spacing along Highway 101. These interchanges are
being analyzed in detail in the Highway 101 lEI Campo Road interchange study being
perfonned by Dokken Engineers. Higgins Associates is a sub-consultant evaluating
traffic operations for the various alternatives.
4. The Highway 101/Grand Avenue interchange is interrelated with the recommended
configurations at the Highway 10l/Brisco Road-Halcyon Road, Highway 101/Fair
oaks Avenue, Highway 101/ Traffic Way and Highway 101/ El Campo Road
interchanges. This interchanges bas become a part of the study of the Highway 101IEI
Campo Road interchange study being prepared by Dokken Engineers with Higgins
Associates as a sub-consultant. In addition, the Highway 10 l/Grand Avenue
interchange ramps are closely spaced along Grand A venue with Batrl~tt Street on the
west and West Branch Street and Traffic Way on the east. Higgins Associates
prepared a corridor study for Grand A venue which identifies some capacity
improvements for this interchange that would result in more efficient arterial signal
coordination and overall capacity. Some of these recommendations are being
modified as a part of the interchange studies listed above.

5. East Branch Street is under Caltrans jurisdiction and designated State Route 227. It
traverses the Village where the roadway is relatively narrow and there are conflicts
between through traffic and pedestrians, cross traffic and vehicles making parallel
parking maneuvers. Through traffic also affects the quality of life in the Village,
especially on busy weekends when significant recreational traffic is generated by
Lopez Lake. The City of Arroyo Grande recently conducted a study in cooperation
with Caltrans to investigate bypass route alignments and determined that the impacts
on the residential areas through which the bypass would traverse would be too
significant to justify the benefits in traffic operations. At that time, it was determined
that the concept of a bypass was infeasible. Subsequently, the City of Arroyo Grande
commissioned a traffic operations study for East Branch Street as well as Grand
Avenue west of Highway 101 to identify short term traffic operational improvements.
A number of specific improvements were identified. This study was performed by
Higgins Associates. This included a variety of improvements along Grand A venue as
well as East Branch Street.
6. Traffic Way has been considered for extension southeasterly along the east side of
Highway 101 to the southerly limits of the city. This would provide local street access
to the Arroyo Linda Specific Plan area. The extension of Traffic Way was evaluated
in the Highway 1011E1 Campo Road interchange planning study descn'bed earlier in
this proposal.
7. Issues facing the city that are in the immediate vicinity of the City of Arroyo Grande
but not within its city limits include policies regarding capacity improvements along
Highway 227 north of the City of Arroyo Grande. Consideration has been given in the
past to widening this roadway to four lanes. This may have significant environmental
effects and growth inducing effects that mayor may not be in the best interest of the
City of Arroyo Grande. The City of Arroyo Grande may want to take a formal
position on this issue. The General Plan update process may be the appropriate forum
in which to accomplish policy directives to Caltrans and San Luis Obispo County.
8. Caltrans and the County of San Luis Obispo are in the process of preparing a Project
Study Report for upgrading the Highway I/Halcyon Road intersection south of
Arroyo Grande as well as providing capacity improvements on either Highway I or
Halcyon Road south and east of the intersection. The City of Arroyo Grande will only
be indirectly affected by this and may not want to take a specific position. Higgins
Associates is performing the traffic analyzes for this project under sub-contract to
Dokken Engineers.

9. The City of Pismo Beach is currently evaluating the Los Robles Del Mar subdivision,
which is located near the north east comer ofthe Oak Park Boulevard! James Way
intersection. Oak Park Boulevard is under joint jurisdiction between the City of
Arroyo Grande and the City of Pismo Beach. Arroyo Grande may want to take a
formal position regarding that project. Its impacts could be analyzed in the General
Plan Update process.
10. Development in unincorporated portions of the County that impact the City street
system may warrant an official policy on the part of the City of Arroyo Grande. This
is especially related to the payment of traffic impact fees. The General Plan Update
process could be the appropriate vehicle to negotiate traffic impact fee payment to the
City of Arroyo Grande from development in the immediate vicinity of the city in the
unincorporated areas.
11. The cities of Pismo Beach, Arroyo Grande and Grover Beach, the communities of
Oceano and Halcyon as well as the Eastern Fringe area and Nipomo Mesa form a
closely interrelated metropolitan area. There are a number of regional traffic issues
that are of common concern to all of these communities. Funding of regional
transportation improvements that benefit the entire region such as Highway 101,
Highway 227, regional transit service and regional bike facilities could be addressed
at a policy level in this General Plan Update.
12. The City of Arroyo Grande identified additional issues in its 1990 General Plan. These
included the Oak Park Boulevard extension south of Grand Avenue to provide a
continuous north south arterial from Grover Beach to Highway 101. For the most
part, this has already been constructed.
13. The 1990 General Plan identified the need to upgrade the Highway 101/0ak Park
Boulevard interchange. This was constructed in the early 1990's resulting in
acceptable traffic operations at the present time.
14. An extension of Valley Road from Fair Oaks Avenue to Grand Avenue was
considered in the past and has been determined to be inappropriate due to the
significant costs and environmental effects compared with the benefits in traffic
operations. It is assumed that this improvement is no longer a consideration.

15. Ranch Road was proposed as a new facility to extend easterly from Valley Road to
the city limits southeast of Arroyo Grande High School. The growth inducing effects
and environmental consequences of this roadway were determined to be greater than
the benefits in traffic operations. It is assumed that this is no longer a consideration.
16. James Way was considered for extension from Tally Ho Road to Corbett Canyon
Road (State Route 227). This would have required a bridge over Tally Ho Creek.
It is understood that the high costs and environmental effects of this roadway
extension were greater than the anticipated traffic operational benefits. It is assumed
that this roadway extension is no longer a consideration.
17. The previous General Plan identified the completion of West Branch Street between
Oak Park Boulevard and East Branch Street as a needed improvement. This
roadway connection was completed in the early 1990's.
18. A number of intersections have been identified to possibly meet traffic signal warrants.
These improvements are intersection specific and can only be analyzed utilizing daily
traffic volume warrants in the context of the General Plan Update, unless a more
detailed intersection analysis is identified as a needed part of the scope of work. This
also is true of potential intersection channelization improvements, safety
improvements and intersection level pedestrian improvements.
B. AVAILABLEINFO~ATION
A substantial amount of infonnation is already available to assist in preparing an update to the
existing General Plan. This includes as a minimum the following documents. The City of
Arroyo Grande, City ofPismo Beach, City of Grover Beach, County of San Luis Obispo, San
Luis Obispo Council of Governments and Cal Trans will be contacted to identify other
available sources of information including traffic count data and other planning documents.
1. "A Traffic Improvement Strategy for the U.S. 101 Study Corridor, Oak Park to
Grand Avenue", DKS Associates, August 30, 1988.

C. CIRCULATION ELEMENT SCOPE OF WORK
The proposed scope of work for the General Plan Circulation Element preparation is detailed
below by task. The hours and budget for these tasks are presented on Exlu'bit 1 by personnel.
Task 0 Finalize Scope of Work
The first task to be perfonned once the contract is awarded will be the precise definition of the scope
of work. Together with the City of Arroyo Grande staff, we will define in a more specific manner
the method that will be used to evaluate the different land use alternatives and associated policies of
the General Plan Update. This will be done via telephone.
PHASE 1 - EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Existing Conditions report has already been produced by Meyer Mohaddes Associates. The only
task that will be needed in the existing conditions, is the calibration of the model to be used for the
trip volume forecasts, as well as the description of proposed transportation improvements.
Task lA Description of City Network
Already completed by Meyer Mohaddes Associates (MMA).

Task IB Capacity and Level of Service Analysis
Already completed by MMA.
Task lC Proposed Transportation Improvements
Many improvements have been identified in past studies to solve current congestion and safety
problems. A description of these improvements will be included in the report as well as a budgetary
cost and horizon of implementation. Other improvements which have not yet been approved and/or
designed will also be identified for all components of the City-wide Transportation System Facilities,
which include streets, highways, and transit systems.
Task ID Calibration of the Regional Travel Model
The volume of trips on the City-wide Transportation System are influenced by factors by both internal
and external to the City of Arroyo Grande. Patterns within the City will first be identified, specifically
commute patterns, tourist desire lines as well as commercial and school-related travel patterns. Two
main types of travel pattern influences may be identified that are external to the City. The first is
tourist traffic. The second pattern is commute trips.
A recent study performed by OMNI-Means for long range transportation improvements included
some origin-destination information. This study was conducted in 1996. The information should,
therefore, be up to date. This will be used to assist in developing travel patterns. No additional origin-
destination data will be collected as a part of this study.
The modeling methodology is described in more detail under Section D "Traffic Model Scope of
Work" of this proposal.
Task IE Issues Paper No.1 - Existing Conditions
The existing draft Circulation Element Technical Background Report (Existing Conditions) will be
supplemented with results &om the model calibration and with a section on proposed transportation
improvements. A final Existing Conditions report will be part of the Circulation Element , as
described further in task 2F.

PHASE 2 - FUTURE OPTIONS ANALYSIS
The future options analysis will be divided among the two components of the City-wide
Transportation Systems. Streets and highways, and the transit system will be modeled and traffic
volumes simulated concurrently. However, the analysis reflecting capacity forecast volumes and
ridership will be presented for each component separately. A maximum of up to three land use
alternatives are included in the scope of this proposal. The forecast horizon for the General Plan is
the Year 2020.
Task 2A Travel Model Update (TAZ, Land Use, Street Network)
The proposed road network for the Year 2020 will be used for the different land use alternatives.
The latest update of the proposed inftastructure for that horizon as well as currently planned
improvements to the road network will be presented to the City and updated, if necessary, in the
model. Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZ) will be reviewed and additional zones added, if
necessary, in order to reflect future growth and/or land use changes where the existing T AZ system
may not be adequate. The land use files currently available ftom MMA's previous work will be
presented to the City and adjusted to reflect the three preferred alternatives.
Task 2B Future Volumes and Levels of Service
Average Daily Traffic volumes (ADT) on major streets and highways will be forecasted for the three
alternatives as well as their projected levels of service. Other measures of effectiveness such as total
annual vehicle miles traveled and vehicle hours of travel will also be presented for the different
alternatives. Peak hour analysis will also be included for a maximum of 12 intersections (to be
determined) and levels of service will also be calculated for both AM and PM peak hour traffic.
Additional intersections may be added if the need arises. An optional task with a cost per additional
intersection is included in the fee estimate, illustrated on Exhibit 1.
Task 2C Segment Congestion Analysis
The areas of deficient levels of service identified in the previous task will be outlined. Two types of
mitigations will be explored, the first based on increasing road network capacity and the second based
on land use alternatives which may reduce travel demand.

Page 10
Task 2D Transit System
The potential of the current transit system to increase its service in order to attract more of the travel
demand will be analyzed in this task. Discussions with the City and South County Area Transit
(SCAT) on the level of transit investments and potential for future service improvements will then
determine how much transit service to be included in the Year 2020 transportation network.
Task 2E Future Ridership and Road Level of Service Improvements
Transit alternatives will be compared based on projected ridership. The alternative that most
effectively reduces highway traffic volumes will be described and a comparison of road traffic
volumes and levels of service will be presented. Comparison of all three transportation system
components and their impact on roadway volumes and congestion will be summarized and presented
in both table and graphic format.
Task 2F Working Paper #2 - Future Conditions
A paper presenting the work performed for the update of the model by MMA to reflect 2020 land
use alternatives and future road networks will be presented. It will include all technical analysis as
well as mapping and illustrated presentation of the results.
The report summarizing the work done for the transit system network will be presented to the City.
This report will include detailed descriptions of improvements made to the transportation model of
assumptions made in terms of bus service for the future as well as the impacts these improvements
will have on road and highway traffic volumes. Comments from the City will be integrated into a final
working paper which will then be presented to the public.
Task 2G Mapping
Presentation graphics will be produced using AutoCAD and will be in both report and public
presentation formats. These maps will also be turned over to the City. As an optional task, mapping
can be performed using the Arc View GIS.
Task 2H Meetings and Presentations
One meeting or public presentation is included in Task 2 - Future Options Analysis. Additional
meetings can be attended if authorized by the City.

Task 3 Circulation Element Recommendations
The Circulation Element for the General Plan Update will be prepared. We will provide
reconnnendations regarding the improvements to each component of the transportation system and
its facilities. Phasing and implementation strategies which will integrate planned and proposed
transportation improvements for the different land use alternatives will be included in these
reconnnendations. Classifications of each roadway will be recommended. This will be described in
a tabular format as well as graphically.
Higgins Associates' extensive knowledge of the various planning areas will allow us to be active
participants in the development of an effective, relevant Circulation Element. We will be a source
of information gained from many years of studies, design projects and public hearings, as well as
informal participation in the preparation of the current General Plan. In this capacity we consider
ourselves an extension of the City staff. Our input will, therefore, be provided primarily at the staff
level.
Task 3A Growth Impacts and Mitigations
The correlation between the expected growth associated with each land use alternative and the impact
on the City-wide transportation system will be presented. A comparative analysis will present in
simple matrix form the benefits and/or disadvantages of each alternative in terms of cost of
implementation and optimal network performance.
Task 3D Alternative Street Networks
The different components that will be analyzed for future alternatives will be graded and integrated
into preferred strategies. Some improvements might be mutually exclusive of other planned or
proposed improvements. These will be identified and presented in a simple and succinct manner.
Task 3C Transit Improvements
The transit system network improvements which will be recommended will be presented and
compared to the existing transit system. The benefit of each of these improvements will be presented
in detail and correlated to the level of service improvements which may result from these upgrades.

Task 3D Truck Routes
Trucking is a component of the Arroyo Grande traffic volmnes, due mainly to agriculture related uses
as well as industrial and commercial uses. Existing truck routes will be analyzed and updated to
reflect the future road and highway network.
Task 3E Cost Estimates of Alternatives
Conceptual budgets ofall of the proposed improvements will be provided. These cost estimates will
be used for the comparison and the feasibility of road network improvements as well as transit
upgrades. They can also provide a basis for cost!benefit analysis in the future.
Task 3F Report Preparation
An administrative draft of the Circulation Element will be prepared which will present all of the
analyses described in the previous tasks above. This report will include all supporting calculations
as well as graphical illustrations of the proposed recommendations. Upon receipt of City comments
a draft document will be prepared for circulation to the public. It will incorporate' any corrections
and modifications. The final public comments will then be included in the final Circulation Element
section of the General Plan. A total of three copies of any draft of the Circulation Element including
a reproducible original and computer files will be submitted.
Task 3G Mapping
Mapping will be prepared using AutoCAD. As an optional task, ArcView maps and report in
presentation formats will be prepared for the report and for the subsequent presentations and/or
hearings to present the circulation element. These maps will also submitted to the City in digital
format.
Task 3D Meetings and Presentations
One public presentation is included in this task to present the draft Circulation Element.
Task4 Technical Assistance
On-going technical assistance can be provided to the City to :finalize its Circulation Element policy
formulation and evaluation. The scope of this task will be determined when the extent of public
comments has been identified..

D. TRAFFIC MODEL SCOPE OF WORK
A variety of approaches can be taken to developing a traffic model for the City of Arroyo Grande.
The quickest, most inexpensive option is to utilize the existing MINUTP model developed by Omni-
Means for the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments in 1996. This is a daily traffic model that
includes all of South County. It is advantageous in any modeling exercise to model a network beyond
the actual study area to be analyzed. This is because the model can better address traffic distn'bution
ana assignment from the study area to near-by areas beyond the study boundaries, better replicating
actual travel patterns. The existing model is a daily traffic volume model. It is based upon 1996 data.
An optional task includes upgrading the model to a peak hour model for AM and/or PM peak
periods. This would be a more precise model.
A second optional task is further refinement of the traffic analysis zones and street network.
A third option is to begin the modeling effort from scratch rather than utilize network coding already
available.
A fourth option is to use Traffix as the sole model. This is not recommended because it requires
more training due to its inability to perfonn executable files and also the requirement to make manual
distribution and assignment assumptions for both the model creator and ongoing user.
Task 1 Model Development
Our project team has the data files for this MINUTP model and has extensive experience running
rninutp models. A prelirninaIy review of the data indicates that the basic network and zone structure
appears reasonable. The model would need to be updated to reflect year 2000 land use data as well
as calibration to year 2000 traffic volumes. In addition, trip purpose, trip generation rates, fiiction
factors (which affect the trip lengths), assumed travel speeds on the street network, accuracy of
modeling individual intersection delays, as well as insuring that a detailed enough network is
developed to provide the level of analysis currently proposed by the city, are incorporated into the
model. This is an extensive exercise requiring a significant amount of research and coding, even to
upgrade the existing model.

Task 2 On-going City Staff Model Usage
The traffic modeling program MINUTP is the recommended software to be utilized in analyzing the
traffic network for the city. MINUTP data can be transferred to other traffic modeling and analysis
programs configured to the same network parameters. We propose using Traffix in order to perform
level of service calculations for all study intersections. Traffix allows simple importation of data files
from the MINUTP model for the purposes of its calculations.
Most ongoing operation of the MINUTP model by city staff will consist of updating the land use file.
This file is a text (ASCII) file which lists land use parameters in tabular form and may be edited with
any simple word processor or spreadsheet program. The files required to run the model may be set
as executable (.EXE) files which can be run from either DOS or Windows environments. Once the
model runs have been completed, other sets of executable files may be selected to extract the desired
statistics from the model (ADT, peak hour volumes, delay, segment LOS, etc.). The MINUTP model
traffic zones will be disaggregated to the finest level possible, which means that most land use
changes will only need three steps to be evaluated:
1. Edit the land use file;
2. Run the appropriate MINUTP model executables to create the TRAFFIX ready files;
3. Import the data into Traffix and evaluate the detailed project impacts at the selected
intersections
City staff may also have to modify the street network. Modification of the network would require
rwming the MINUTP network editor, and could have consequences on the setup of the executable
files. A hands-on tutorial of how to use the network editor, as well as some of the basic concepts of
the software is proposed during the initial training and orientation. Given that intersection LOS
analysis will be performed using Traffix, this software may also be used to evaluate the impact of
projects that may not be handled by the MINUTP model. Driveway geometrics, lane channelization,
queues etc. are all parameters which are better analyzed within the Traffix environment.
A tutorial on how to use Traffix for simple project evaluations, which would not need :full model runs,
is proposed as well, as task 4C.
E. PROJECT BUDGET
The estimated fee for this project is $51,850. A breakdown of the fee estimate based upon individual
tasks described in the above scope of work is provided as Exhibit 1. This is based upon the fee
schedule included as Exhibit 2. The fee schedule indicates that it is effective through December, 2000.
The fee schedule will actually be effective through the middle of next year. Work performed
F:\2000\Proposals\AOO-hJ'\AOO-HJ Scope.wpd
Kerry McCants
September 1, 2000
Page 15
subsequent to July 1, 2001, will correspond to the Higgins Associates, Civil and Traffic Engineers,
fee schedule for calendar year 2001. The budget for on-going technical assistance has been included
as an allowance, as the scope for these tasks will have to be detennined in detail when the need arises.
F. PROJECT SCHEDULE
We will be able to prepare an administrative draft of the circulation element in three to four months
from authorization to proceed depending on which modeling alternative is selected. If a more
involved modeling alternative is selected it will take four months to submit an administrative draft
report. We will be able to resubmit subsequent drafts of the report within three weeks of receiving
comments unless extensive analysis is involved. It is expected that additional model run and
calculations could add an additional one to two weeks to the turn around time.
As described in the traffic model scope of work, additional modeling effort may be necessary
subsequent to the completion of the circulation element. This will take several months to develop the
additional model products. Weare also proposing a total of about 44 hours of our staff for training
City Staff to actually operate the model. This could also involve subsequent model adjustments to
facilitate the specific needs of the city for use in the future.
G. QUALIFICATIONS
Higgins Associates staff will perform the analysis including traffic forecasting, transportation
modeling, traffic analysis, graphic report writing, and project management.
A. Relevant Experience
Higgins Associates is a transportation planning and traffic engineering :firm with a total of 28 staff
members including six registered engineers and one certified planner. Our staff has completed
numerous Circulation Elements, major transportation modeling projects and corridor studies both
within its own corporate history and in the prior work experience of individual staff members. In
addition, Higgins Associates has completed many of its planning and design projects in South San
