Executive Summary In 2018, the City Council asked staff to present updates twice a year on projects to improve local streets and traffic flow in Carlsbad. This report provides an update on work over the last six months from February 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025. Staff are currently working on approximately 50 projects in the 5-year Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, that are in various stages of completion, from early feasibility and planning to finishing up construction. Explanation & Analysis The Transportation Department is responsible for approximately 100 projects identified in the CIP. The projects are focused on managing the city’s street and drainage infrastructure, ranging from coordinating traffic signal timing and slowing down traffic in neighborhoods to redesigning streets to meet modern standards outlined in the Mobility Element in the city’s General Plan, the section focused on transportation. Given the large number of projects, staff completed a comprehensive review of staff capacity to complete projects, and the City Council approved a more focused approach on a shorter list of higher priority projects included in the City Council’s Strategic Plan by approving next fiscal year’s Capital Improvement Program budget. Within the last few months, the City Council has provided direction to staff to revise the scope of a few CIP projects to improve mobility conditions while focusing on safety, cost effectiveness, shortening project delivery times, and maintaining and creating additional parking in the Village and Barrio area. These recent project scope revisions include: TRAFFIC SAFETY & MOBILITY COMMISSION July 7, 2025 Item #3 Page 1 of 21 1) Tamarack Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard intersection Coastal Improvements – approving a smaller scale project for intersection improvements 2) Kelly Drive and Park Drive Street Improvements – removing the traffic circles at Kelly Drive/Park Drive and Kelly Drive/Hillside Drive and approving installation of stop signs at those intersections instead 3) Barrio Traffic Circles – options to be discussed on July 29 include considering awarding the contract for the project as previously scoped or considering other options for traffic calming without traffic circles or options that include traffic circles Staff will be presenting another project, Terramar Area Coastal Improvements Project, to the City Council at a future meeting to discuss options regarding the roundabout at the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road.

Next Steps The next semiannual transportation report will be presented in January 2026. Environmental Evaluation The proposed action is not a “project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) and does not require environment review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) and 15061(b)(3), because the proposed action to receive the Transportation Semiannual Report is an organizational or administrative government activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
