A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE SAGE CREEK HIGH SCHOOL SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California has determined that improving traffic safety near Sage Creek High School, which is located at 3900 Bobcat Boulevard, is necessary and desirable to encourage students and residents to bike and walk to and from school and throughout the surrounding residential neighborhood; and WHEREAS, the proposed concept-level project improvements will include various traffic calming measures and pedestrian crossing enhancements to meet the project goals to slow down traffic and enhance walkability and bikeability. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Carlsbad, California, as follows: 1.That the above recitations are true and correct. 2.That the City Council has determined that 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 environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) and 15061(b)(3), because the proposed action to approve a report on the Sage Creek High School Safe Routes to School Plan 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. Any subsequent action or direction stemming from the proposed action may require preparation of an environmental document in accordance with CEQA or CEQA Guidelines. 3.That the City Council approves the Sage Creek High School Safe Routes to School Plan, attached hereto as Attachment A.

City of Carlsbad 1 To: Fehr and Peers; City of Carlsbad From: Alta Planning + Design Date: November 19, 2023 Re: School Site Assessment Summary Report for Sage Creek High School Sage Creek High School The Carlsbad Safe Route to School (SRTS) project team conducted one walk audit and two listening sessions at Sage Creek High School in order to understand safety concerns and identity ways to promote active travel for the school commute. This memo summarizes the findings from the walk audit and both listening sessions. Walk Audit A walk audit was conducted at Sage Creek High School in the City of Carlsbad on the afternoon of October 10, 2023. Walk audit participants included the Sage Creek High School principal, City of Carlsbad staff and leadership, Carlsbad Police Department staff, Fehr & Peers staff, and Alta Planning + Design staff. Figure 1 shows the main locations that were assessed during the walk audit. Figure 1.

City of Carlsbad 2 Figure 2 shows existing condition locations as observed or reported by participants during the walk audit. Specific details and potential opportunities for each numbered location are provided in the following sections. Figure 2. Sage Creek High School Existing Condition Locations 1.School Parking Lot •To avoid sharing of main vehicle entrance during pick up, consider alternate bike exit along the central school driveway (location #2) from bike parking near Visitor Parking. •There are two sidewalks along the west side of the driveway, one of which can potentially be turned one into an e- bike only route. Wheel stops could be added along adjacent Visitor Parking spaces to prevent overhang of vehicles into the sidewalk area.

City of Carlsbad 3 Walk audit participants met at the Central School Driveway to discuss travel concerns and barriers around Sage Creek High School on the afternoon of October 10, 2023. 2.Bobcat Way (Central School Driveway) and Bobcat Boulevard •This is a potential alternate exit for e-bikes (as mentioned at location #1). •School staff are at the school driveway to meter the entrance and exit of vehicles. •Consider placing a crosswalk at the southwest leg to accommodate students using the bike lane on the south side of Bobcat Boulevard. 3.Bobcat Boulevard •A Class I bike path is planned for the north side of the road. •There may be an opportunity to turn the north side bike lane into a two-way Class IV bikeway. This would prevent students on bikes from having to cross the road twice. •Vehicles line up in a U-turn formation at the end of Bobcat Boulevard during drop-off/pick-up hours.

City of Carlsbad 4 Vehicles lined up on Bobcat Boulevard during the drop-off hour; Students walked and biked home from school. 4.Bobcat Boulevard/Cannon Road and College Boulevard •Vehicles are using this intersection as part of an alternate route to access I-5. The eastbound left and southbound right movements are high during peak commute times, which overlaps in the morning during school drop off. •This intersection is planned to be reconfigured so that e-bike students can turn left from College Boulevard. •The new “no right turn on red” sign for southbound traffic on College is helping to prevent conflicts with bikes and pedestrians using the north-leg crosswalk. •Pedestrian signal for north crosswalk crossing College Boulevard have Leading Pedestrian Interval. •Pedestrians/students continue entering the intersection through the end of the flash-don't-walk phase for the north crosswalk in the afternoon. The westbound vehicle phase remains green beyond the end of the pedestrian phase, so these students create conflicts with westbound-right-turning vehicles. •Possible pedestrian improvements that have been considered include a larger staging area on the northeast corner of the intersection and directional ramps. •Eastbound traffic entering Bobcat Boulevard from Cannon Road is traveling at high speed while e-bikes are merging left to enter the school.

City of Carlsbad 5 Pedestrians/students continue entering the intersection through the end of the flash-don't-walk phase. The new “no right turn on red” sign limits conflicts with left-turning bikes. 5.Cannon Road •The Cannon Road and College Boulevard bus stop has a high student ridership compared to other bus stops in the city. •The majority of students walking west along Cannon continue past the bus stop and turn right at Hilltop Street or Wind Trail Way. •Walk audit participants counted approximately 110 students total who crossed College Boulevard in the afternoon of October 10th. Most continued west on Cannon Road towards Hilltop Street and Wind Trail Way.

City of Carlsbad 6 6.Pedestrian Paths Connecting to the Foothills Housing Community •There are two gated pedestrian paths connecting the Foothills housing community to Sage Creek High School. One path is from Arapaho Place and the other is from Bergen Peak Place, the latter of which walk audit participants observed 15 to 20 students using immediately after school let out. o Only residents have the keys to the gate, which includes some students. o A resident observed some parents dropping off their students at the entrances of the paths. •A resident observed students jumping over the fence in previous years. A gated pedestrian path allows students take a short cut from the Foothill community to Sage Creek High School. 7.City-Owned Trail Connecting to The Foothills Housing Community •There is a City of Carlsbad owned trail on the north side of Four Peaks Street that could potentially become a drop- off location. 8.College Boulevard •There is an opportunity to enhance the decomposed granite (DG) sidewalks with a concrete material that is decorative and textured but will not erode during rainfall, at least on the sloped areas. •There are three schools (Calavera Hills Elementary School, Calavera Hills Middle School, and Sage Creek High School) whose students and families use College Boulevard for drop-off/pick-up access every day.

City of Carlsbad 7 9.Lake Calavera Trail Adjacent to Sage Creek High School •There is an extensive trail network to the north of Sage Creek High School that if enhanced, could provide an alternative route to College Boulevard to access the school. o Currently, only a portion of the trail is paved, making it hard for students to walk or bike, especially when it rains because the trails get muddy and flooded. o The trail transitions from paved to unpaved approximately .5 mile north of the location shown on the map. o Ownership of the trail is mixed between the State (The California Department of Fish and Wildlife), a CA non-profit organization (the Center for Natural Lands Management), and the City of Carlsbad. The un- paved stretch is owned by the State, so any modifications to the trail itself would need to be approved by the CA Department of Fish and Wildlife. The trail alignment could be a good alternative route for students to walk and bike; Walk audit participants discussed the opportunities and restrictions of using the trail as a comfortable route. 10.Lake Calavera Trail Head at the Intersection of College Boulevard and Carlsbad Village Drive •This trail head provides convenient connection to/from Carlsbad Village Drive, however it is too steep for students to walk or bike to enter the trail.

Wide Cannon Road and El Camino Real encourages high speeds. Additional Walk Audit Notes •Sage Creek High School has about 100 students riding bikes to school and most of them (90%) are e-bikes. •About 90% of student bikers wear helmet and 80% of them wear helmets with straps. •During the walk audit, Carlsbad Police Department staff reported more helmet use after e-bike/bike safety education workshops. •The City of Carlsbad is currently implementing a restriping plan on east/west corridors across the city. •Drivers coming from SR 78 will drive through Carlsbad as a shortcut often without a focus on safety and traveling at high speeds. •Sage Creek High School’s school boundary reaches into the City of Oceanside.

City of Carlsbad 10 Listening Sessions Two listening sessions were conducted at Sage Creek High School the morning of October 26, 2023 and the evening of November 8, 2023. The events were promoted through social media and emails. In total, approximately 20 parents, caregivers, and other school stakeholders attended the listening sessions. Below is a summary of the key themes shared with the Carlsbad SRTS project team during the listening sessions. E-Bike/Bike Ridership • Students ride e-bike or bikes in crosswalks. • Middle school and high school e-biker/bikers must take a bike safety class through the Carlsbad Police Department in order to be allowed to ride to school. • Several parents agree that the educational component is important because more students are wearing helmets this year after taking the bike safety class. • Biking in the Dark: o As the day ends earlier, parents/caregivers do not feel safe letting their students walk or bike to after-school activities. o Participants stated that they want more LED signs and lights. Multi-Modal Access to the School • The school community wants better bike route connectivity to the school. • The school/school district should consider increasing school access points so that not all students are coming to the front of the school. • Trails: o Sage Creek High School is unique in that there are many trails that could be used to access school. o Participants shared that they want the trails enhanced so that they become viable connections to the neighborhoods.  Ideas to enhance the trails include larger projects to include as a consideration for future project funding, move the boulder that blocks the trail, and have juniors and seniors come up with projects through the school’s Genius Project program. • About 50 students currently take the North County Transit (NCTD) bus. Participants would like better or shorter bus routes specifically to accommodate the school commute. • A participant commented that a separated bike lane that is completely separated from the traffic through a physical median is the only way to protect bicyclists. • A participant mentioned the traffic lights are designed for cars, so some students are waiting forever for the lights to turn green and some just go even when the light is still red. o City staff shared that they may be able to adjust the video cameras, which are used to control traffic lights, to fix this issue. o A participant suggested painting bikes at locations that trigger sensors (like they do in Oceanside) so that riders know exactly where to stop to get a green light. • A participant mentioned that Cannon Road is a wide road and does not feel safe to ride a bike. • Participants mentioned the need to address traffic on El Camino at Cannon because vehicles block the bike lane when turning right/north on Cannon, which feels like a “bike jail”. • A participant observed students who live far away bike to school using El Camino Real.

City of Carlsbad 11 Short-Term/Low Cost Improvements, Including Programmatic •The school community wants to know what they can do in the short-term. This includes programmatic recommendations, which will be listed in the SRTS Plan. •The project team noted that Crossing Guard training should include school staff if they are performing Crossing Guard- type duties. •Carlsbad residents and drivers could benefit from bike lane education and other rules of the road education, such as not driving within the striped medians or bike lane buffers and yielding to bicyclists at dashed green bike lanes. This can be done through social media. •The project team should look into getting easements or access agreements for pick-up/drop-off with the local home- owners associations, including The Foothills neighborhood. •Participants would love to see more “Bike to School/Work Day” events. •The school community would like to see a Crossing Guard located at Bobcat Boulevard/Cannon Road and College Boulevard. Other Feedback •Parents complained about the 85th percentile rule for setting speed limits because most drivers go faster than the speed limit all the time. •The school community wants to contact SANDAG and/or Caltrans to advocate that projects get completed (e.g., get the I-5 interchange addressed) and would like these projects included in the final SRTS Plan. •A participant suggested speed humps or rumble strips on Cannon Road approaching the College Boulevard intersection as the speed limit drops from 55 to 25. •Participants reported that some 20 semi-trucks come down from College Boulevard to Cannon Road making these streets feel less safe. They would like to see a rule forbidding semi-trucks from using these streets. •Participants shared that they think there are still some rooms for improvements, but they appreciate all the current improvements that have happened.

Through the city’s local emergency on traffic safety, Aug. 23, 2022 – Sept. 8, 2023, city staff initiated and continue to carry out a wide variety of programs, projects and initiatives to enhance the safe use of city streets. Some could be completed immediately while others are longer term in nature. One of the programs in the Safer Streets Together Plan that the City Council approved is a Safe Routes to School program. About the project The City of Carlsbad is committed to helping everyone get around the city in a safe and convenient way, whether by foot, car, bike or public transit. One way the city is improving traffic safety is through a Safe Routes to School Program, which is an approach that focuses on walking and bicycling to school through infrastructure improvements, enforcement and safety education. Other strategies the city uses focus on safe driving. The city is working on several Safe Routes to School plans with Carlsbad schools, including Sage Creek High School, to reflect the community’s vision, values and priorities. The plan will outline specific short- and long-term infrastructure improvements and school programs that support families and students biking and walking to and from school sites. Sage Creek has unique programs that draw students from throughout the city, so not every family is close enough to walk or bike. But the more who do, the better traffic will flow and the less time will be spent waiting in school pick-up and drop-off lines.

Through every project, the following considerations are taken into account when seeking feedback: •Plans must reflect the policy direction already approved by the City Council in various planning documents. •Improvements must be designed according to state traffic safety standards and traffic laws. •Designs need to meet the needs of first responders and other emergency services. Community engagement approach To ensure the Safe Routes to School plans reflect community needs, values and priorities, the city developed a community engagement approach consisting of three main opportunities for input: Phase 1: Community needs, values and priorities October 2023 – January 2024 The first phase will determine where community members would most like to see improvements for walking and biking. Phase 2: Feedback on draft plan Fall 2024 Based on community input and technical studies, the project team will develop a draft Safe Routes to School plan, which outlines recommended short-term and long-term infrastructure improvements in and around each campus. The draft plan will be shared with the school and community for additional feedback. Phase 3: Review of final plan Early 2025 The project team will develop a final draft plan and 30% conceptual designs of improvements based on community feedback. This will be shared with the community to identify any additional feedback they would like to share as improvements move on to final design as budget allows. Other opportunities for community input are built into the plan’s approval process, including meetings of the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission and the City Council, when they consider the final designs, funding and timing of improvements. Level of engagement The International Association of Public Participation’s spectrum of public participation illustrates a variety of approaches to involving the public in decision making. The Safe Routes to School process falls in the category of “involve.” July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 49 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Sage Creek High Safe Routes to School Public Input Report Spring 2024 3 How to consider the input The input in this report is qualitative in nature and was obtained through a convenience sample. This means the city focused on gaining an in-depth understanding of community member perspectives, and the results cannot be generalized to the entire population of the city within a defined margin of error. That’s why the input in this report should be considered with a similar weight as other forms of feedback that have always been part of the city’s decision-making process, such as comments made at City Council meetings or emails sent to the city expressing an opinion. The input in this report should be considered with a similar weight as comments made at a City Council meeting or those sent by email.

Arapaho Pl College Blvd Bicycle improvement There is no safe, marked path for bicycles to cross here in order to enter the lower parking lot and ride up the lane to the bike racks in front of the PAC. Bobcat Blvd School parking lot Bicycle improvement Somehow create protected bike path at school entrance Bobcat Blvd College Blvd Other Traffic Safety Turning into and out of the parking lot at night is very dangerous. The street lights are not working which makes it difficult to see students who may be walking after dark. The reflective paint for the lane markings have faded making it difficult to see demarcations indicating correct traffic flow into and out of the lot at night or in low light. Bobcat Blvd Walking improvement Students cross the parking lot without a protected walking path. A genius project has further encouraged this with stairs installed at the corner. Please provide a protected walking path. Bobcat Blvd College Blvd Walking improvement Pedestrians can walk all the way up to the school on a sidewalk at the drop-off loop. However, you're point is valid as there is no safe way to get across this intersection since it relies on cars to stop at the stop sign and yield to pedestrians. Especially challenging for pedestrians leaving night time events. Bobcat Blvd College Blvd Walking improvement The sidewalk ends on the road up to the school, providing no safe way for students to walk to the school from the lower lot (where many students park, walk through or get dropped off at). The sidewalk needs to be extended. Bobcat Blvd Bicycle improvement Parents often park in this bike lane forcing students to ride in College traffic lane. Consider adding the plastic lane separator poles to protect the lane from cars. Cannon Rd College Blvd July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 66 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Sage Creek High Safe Routes to School Public Input Report Spring 2024 20 Bicycle improvement Agree!!! They turn the corner from the right turn lane in the bike lane. Super dangerous. Cannon Rd College Blvd Other Traffic Safety I SO agree. I think the all-way crossing is a great idea. Cars coming down College and into the 2 right-hand turn lanes don't know whether to stop or turn on red. Especially the car in the left sided, right turn lane. It's everyone's guess who will go where. Kinda scary. Cannon Rd College Blvd Other Traffic Safety I think putting a road through for speeders from the 78 will just have them speeding through the intersection next to the school straight and at higher speed. Cannon Rd College Blvd Other Traffic Safety I like the all way crossing but 35mph down College just isn't realistic. Fix the 5/78 connector so people don't use this as a bypass and enforce the 45mph limit that we have (including for police vehicles with lights/sirens off that I've observed going 55+ down the hill). Cannon Rd College Blvd Other Traffic Safety Please complete College Blvd per the original plan. All of the safety issues center around speeding commuters from the 78 and the right hand turn. They are all headed to businesses off Faraday. Putting College through will make this a lot safer for the kids. Cars will go straight instead of to the right. Cannon Rd College Blvd Traffic congestion Add a multiuse bridge over the sensitive habitat area where cars, bikes, and pedestrians can have a second exit to not only alleviate traffic, but also to provide an alternate exit in case the sole exit is blocked during a hazard or emergency. I honestly can’t believe the school only has one exit! What if there was a fire and the intersection became blocked with cars and emergency vehicles? This exit could also be a road up and around the back of school connecting further up the hill. Cannon Rd College Blvd Pedestrian improvement Parents who drive their kids to school and back home often know best what needs to happen with safe routes to school. We don’t need the expense of hiring engineers. Listen to the parents and the students who USE the roads daily. Put in a pedestrian scramble. Cannon Rd College Blvd July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 67 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Sage Creek High Safe Routes to School Public Input Report Spring 2024 21 Traffic calming Hire a professional engineers to study the intersection, the traffic flows College-Cannon-El Camono and make the safety recommendations. Even if the recommendations are costly or unpopular, implement them. How many students have to be hit by cars (some seriously) before the city takes action. Don't be like other San Diego communities and wait for a fatality of a high school student before fixing the problem. Sage Creek has open for over 10 years with this unsafe intersection. Cannon Rd College Blvd Pedestrian improvement Consider adding a pedestrian bridge for crossing College at this intersection. The cars fly down the hill, make rights on red, and hit kids in the cross walk. The extra signage has not helped. Cannon Rd College Blvd Traffic calming Agree! 25 mph school zone should start at Hilltop and Cannon intersection and extend at least past bus stop on College and be clearly marked. Cannon Rd College Blvd Traffic calming Specific hours are a bad idea; drivers should be focused on the road, not looking at their phones to see what time it is. It's quite obvious when children are present. We do need better signage to indicate where the school zones start and end. Cannon Rd College Blvd Traffic calming Please clarify the speed limits in the vicinity of the school. CPD routinely sits with a radar gun at Cannon and College. Where does 25 begin "when children are present"? NO commuter slows to 25 to turn left to College. Do you slam on the brakes crossing College north on Cannon? Teaching my daughter to drive I could only say "this is what people do," not "this is what is legal." Please fix w/ education, not tickets.

It is 50mph which is unsafe for promoting walking and biking in the area. The 50mph speed limit is what encourages all of the commuters to get off the 78, speed down college, speed down Cannon, and make the left onto el Camino. This is now a mini freeway between 6am-8am every morning. Cannon Rd College Blvd Walking improvement Walking students have no safe paths to walk up the entrance. Cannon Rd College Blvd Walking improvement Add a blinking pedestrian light (over the street like on Carlsbad Blvd) connected to the walk button at this intersection, it would help alert drivers to pedestrians crossing at times when it's not huge groups of kids. Kids cross here for school events, when it's dark etc. as well. Or don't allow drivers to turn right on red when going from Sage to College ever. My kids and family have almost been hit walking in the crosswalk with the walk sign by drivers leaving Sage after nighttime events. Cannon Rd College Blvd Bicycle improvement Cars drive or stop in the bike lane on College, preparing to make the right turn into Tamarack and enter Calavera Elementary and Calavera Middle School. This leaves no place for Calavera students on bikes to get into the school safely. This leads to additional e-bike and bike traffic on Strata at the back of the schools. This needs to be be changed to provide 1. protected bike lanes on College leading into the elementary/middle school, 2. a distinct lane for cars on College waiting to turn right College Blvd Tamarack Bicycle improvement Please consider fully protected bike lane along all of College Blvd. College Blvd Moon Field Dr Bicycle improvement Drivers cut the corner, driving through the bike lane. Suggest placing plastic poles to protect the bike lane. College Blvd Cannon Rd- Lake Calavera Trail Head July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 69 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Sage Creek High Safe Routes to School Public Input Report Spring 2024 23 Bicycle improvement During high traffic times difficult for bikes to turn right. Bikes turning right from CBD Village Dr to southbound College get stuck behind bikes waiting in bike lane to get into left turn lane, then there are many cars piled up in the right turn lane with questionable space left for bikes to go by on the right side. College Blvd Carlsbad Village Dr Bicycle improvement When kids on bikes turn right after school heading north on College there are always cars in the bike lane waiting to pick up their kids. Why is this allowed? College Blvd Cannon Road Bicycle improvement Why hasn't green paint been applied to this conflict zone? College Blvd Carlsbad Village Dr Bicycle improvement Please make bike lanes more visible (paint). They are way too small for the amount of kids using them. College Blvd Pleasant Vale Dr Bicycle improvement The design for this intersection does not meet its usage. During school drop-off and pick-up hours, we have vehicles, bikes and pedestrians using the intersection that was primarily designed for vehicles. Bikers turn left onto College while vehicles cross College (staying on Tamarack) or turn left onto it (from both directions) through the intersection all at the same time. This is a high conflict zone. Bikers who turn right onto College share space with vehicles also turning right. College Blvd Tamarack Ave Bicycle improvement Bikers wanting to cross Carlsbad Village Dr. get stuck here during school pick-up hours because the vehicles turning right do not yield to the bikes. College Blvd Carlsbad Village Dr Bicycle improvement Hello, kids use this trail to avoid the road and get to school on their ebikes. I'm not sure if it's allowed, but maybe something can be done to allow this at certain times and/or to make clear what the current rules are. It's startling and not safe to have an ebike come out of nowhere and zoom past you, and many on the trail have dogs. College Blvd Cannon Road July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 70 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Sage Creek High Safe Routes to School Public Input Report Spring 2024 24 Bicycle improvement This section of College is too fast, cars speed down the hill toward Sage Creek, before making the right turn. There needs to be traffic calming here. Consider divided/protected bike lanes with posts/stanchions or curbed chicanes with landscaping that visually narrows the road. College Blvd Cannon Rd Traffic congestion I like this idea but we would also need to make sure it’s safe for bicycles and pedestrians going north on College. College Blvd Cannon Rd Other Traffic Safety Because there's just really **** tedious College Blvd Plains Way Traffic congestion The way new roads get built in Carlsbad is, new development pays for new roads. Until the farms agree to get redeveloped into residential, there will be a gap. College Blvd Cannon Rd Traffic congestion Add a second vehicle exit only from the lower parking lot to NB College Blvd. This would alleviate a significant amount of the right turn traffic exiting SCHS to NB College Blvd. College Blvd Cannon Rd Traffic calming School zone signs in Carlsbad do not make sense and rarely work. "When children are present" is a meaningless term.The signs should post the specific hours (as in other states) and lights should flash during those hours. College Blvd Cannon Rd Traffic calming The School Zone for College Blvd Northbound needs to be extended South of Tamarack South to include the intersection of College and Tamarack South. The vast majority of students cross at College and Tamarack S, but the School Zone doesn't start until after the intersection and even then, only once you reach the property line for the school. On College Southbound, it extends well past Tamarack S.

At the minimum, make sure that there is absolutely no right turn on red in any direction at this intersection. Ever. The college to cannon connection/commuter route absolutely needs to be slowed down and throttled back. Bring THE SPEED LIMITS DOWN,. 35 MPH is more than fast enough in this corridor where children, and cyclists are present. College Blvd Cannon Rd Traffic calming There neeeds to be more speed reduction. Efforts in traffic in this area. It is hazardous for e- All bicycles and pedestrians. College Blvd Pleasant Vale Dr Traffic calming Traffic calming should start at Lake Ave, at the bottom of the hill. People reach 45-55mpg before they reach the first stop light, in a school zone, at Tamarack Avenue where Calavera Elementary School is. The traffic calming should reduce speed to 35mph or lower from Lake Ave to Sage Creek. The entire corridor is a residential area with three schools located along College, multiple school zones, and multiple pedestrian crossings of College. College Blvd Tamarack Traffic calming Vehicles on Tamarack Ave between Harwich and College go way to fast (in both directions), especially at the top of the hill near Talus Way. There are blind spots for pedestrians and bikes at Talus Way and Tamarack Ave as well as other areas along Tamarack between Harwich and College. Would love to see a 3 way stop at Talus Way and other speed calming solutions. College Blvd Tamarack Ave Traffic calming I agree with the high vehicle speeds on Tamarack and would add on that vehicles continue to speed from Harwich down toward the bottom getting closer to Hope Elementary. I feel this really affects students who are getting to Hope, Calavera E and MS along with Sage Creek. I'd like to see speed humps added to Tamarack to slow down traffic.

College Blvd Cannon Road Traffic calming Speed hump south bound on college nearing school corner. College Blvd Cannon Road Traffic calming Would love to see an "all way" crossing intersection here like we have in the village with bright lights and clear signals. Should prevent cars going right on red while pedestrians are crossing. VERY dangerous intersection! I have personally seen accidents here with bikes and I know the crossing guard was hit by a car a few years ago here. College Blvd Tamarack Ave Walking improvement The brush around the bus stop and adjacent driveway is overgrown and protrudes into the sidewalk, making it difficult for students to stay out of the street. This area needs to be cleaned up. College Blvd Cannon Rd Walking improvement The gravel path along College before Rich Field is always eroded and uneven. Either erosion control mechanisms should be installed or the path should be paved. College Blvd Rich Field Dr Walking improvement There is a pedestrian access fence gate inside the HOA, that alligns with a gate at Calavera Elementary. Could there be a pedestrian bridge across College, so children don't have to cross this dangerous road? College Blvd Tamarack Walking improvement Or build a pedestrian bridge over College somewhere along the area between Carlsbad Village Drive and Tamarack. College Blvd Carlsbad Village Dr Walking improvement Add a pedestrian route across the parking lot!! College Blvd Bobcat Blvd Walking improvement Please pave the sidewalk on college blvd side that is not paved.

College Blvd Carlsbad Village Dr Walking improvement Place a series of emergency vehicle-permissive speed bumps on all approaches, as well as along both sides of the crosswalks, inside and outside the actual intersection. Drivers routinely disregard signs and others' safety. Force them to slow down! College Blvd Cannon Rd Bicycle improvement The (million-dollar?) pedestrian bridge should've been wider to include a bike path. No budget to add another? Then wall off the bike lane on the car bridge! El Camino Real Cannon Road Traffic congestion Whatever it takes, improve the traffic flow in all directions on ECR and Cannon. Northbound in the morning to Sage often backs up. Coming from CSH to Sage (yes I have kids at both), the left turn from ECR to Cannon is terrible. In the afternoon ECR Northbound backs up at 3 pm for absolutely no reason, except bad light timing. Improve! El Camino Real Cannon Road Traffic calming Lower the speed limit to 35-40 - people drive way too fast and similar Carlsbad streets over by Aviara and pointsettia park have 35 mile speed limits with no schools right there.

A paved trail would prevent the muddiness. More importantly though, I would appreciate some sort of bridge that goes over the creek that runs through the trail after it rains. There are currently just stepping stones, which, after heavy rain, are below the water level and you can't get home without getting your feet soaked. Lake Calavera Trail Head Rich Field Dr Bicycle improvement Could we make the trail from CHMS to Sage in the preserve a nice safe paved trail? One that works for both pedestrians and bikes going between the school areas? The trail is already there but its eroded, bumpy, and not great. Lake Calavera Trail Head - Cannon Rd College Blvd Bicycle improvement Is there a way to make a paved path bordering the Calavera trails? Would be great for biking and walking to school. Saddle Dr Tamarack Bicycle improvement Student on a bike has been hit here. A person in a car made a U-turn in this corner. This is an unsafe area during school drop-off and pick-up. There should be signs and enforcement of no U-turns. Strata Dr Delta Way Traffic calming This area should be expanded to include the Calavera Elementary and Middle Schools in traffic calming. The back gate of the school that leads onto the pocket park on Strata Drive is congested with cars making dangerous U-turns in this intersection that includes a crosswalk and crossing guard. Cars doing U-turns nearly hit people walking or biking. Strata Dr Contour Pl Traffic calming Should be a traffic circle with separate bike path encircling it! Strata Dr Tamarack Ave Traffic calming Cars roll through this stop sign. This is dangerous at an intersection with crosswalks and frequent Calavera Elementary and Middle School pedestrian and bike traffic. Strata Dr Tamarack Ave Traffic calming All 1-lane-each-direction intersections should be traffic circles. It could be built quickly out of plastic domes like the one on Park & Kelly.

Many vehicles stop illegally along the red curbs to load/unload passengers. They block the crossing guard's view of oncoming traffic and hinder approaching drivers' bility to see the crossing guard or kids in the crosswalk. This is made worse by the coordination between CUSD and CPD to not enforce the rules of the road at the front of our schools. Strata Dr Contour Pl Walking improvement This is the back gate entrance of Calavera Elementary and Middle Schools. There is heavy pedestrian and bike traffic here because the right turn from College into the Calavera Elementary School entrance does not provide a safe way for students to walk and bike to school. Children age 5 - 13 do not feel safe walking on the sidewalk or riding in the bike lane on College Blvd with people driving at 45-50mph in cars. Strata Dr Contour Pl Bicycle improvement Bikes turning left from Tamarack have to yield to oncoming traffic before turning onto College. This is a dangerous traffic situation during end-of- school rush hour. There should be a bike and pedestrian all-ways crossing signal (30+ second pedestrian signal) that avoids the conflict with cars. There should be no-right-on-red at this intersection. Tamarack Ave College Blvd Bicycle improvement Cars park in the bike lane in this curve at Oakley Park. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Bicycle improvement The bike lane on Tamarack is shared with people in cars making a right turn. This is dangerous during rush hour. There is no left-turn lane on Tamarack to turn onto College, which causes further traffic to be backed up, as people have to approach the intersection and wait to yield to oncoming traffic. Tamarack Ave College Blvd Bicycle improvement Add a flashing red stop sign here - many Sage (as I know many of kids who do not stop are at SCHS, some also go to CHS) students do not stop at this stop sign on their bikes - they have almost hit walkers and cars.

This could be a four-way stop. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Bicycle improvement I agree with this comment and have personally seen many cars blow through this stop sign without stopping. A tabletop speed bump would ensure cars would slow down and look for the stop sign. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Bicycle improvement I have personally seen several bike accidents here and this intersection is terrifying for pedestrians. Lots of cars going fast and not paying attention in addition to bikes and pedestrians going fast and not paying attention. This should be top priority! Should be a 4 way stop or traffic light here. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement Agree! Bike lane 100% doesn't work here because of all the cars in it. Not safe. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement Students cut in-between cars to both ride and walk to campus at this intersection. Traffic backs up at drop-off and pick-up making it difficult for bikers to exit and enter Tamarack and HOA to commute to Sage Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement A stop sign is not warranted here 23 hours per day and would like cause even more accidents, especially on the incline. It would be safer for pedestrians to cross either at College where there is a crossing guard or at the other Strata/Tamarack where there is an existing stop sign (although that could use improvements like a flashing light as somebody else suggested). Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement There should be a four-way stop and a crosswalk here for students that walk to Calavera on Strata, who need to cross Tamarack.

There should be traffic calming at this four way stop light. Tamarack Ave College Blvd Walking improvement I’ve crossed Tamarack on Strata many times, I’ve seen a bike accident as a student crossed traffic to get to the middle school back gate, and it is difficult for me as an adult to cross. In general, cars don’t respect the needs of bikes or pedestrians to cross, a stop sign or a button activated crosswalk sign would improve safety. A stop sign would allow bikes to cross more safely so would be ideal. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement, traffic calming Absolutely right. This intersection is a nightmare and I have personally seen 2 different children hit by cars. There needs to be a stop sign at Strata and Tamarack. Tamarack Ave Strata Dr Walking improvement Cars heading southbound on College frequently blow right through the red light to turn right on Tamarack, even with people in the crosswalk. Just the other day a driver running the red nearly took out three kids on bikes who were crossing College on green.

Multi-modal access to the school • The school community wants better bike route connectivity to the school. • The school/school district should consider increasing school access points so that not all students are coming to the front of the school. • Trails: o Sage Creek High School is unique in that there are many trails that could be used to access school. o Participants shared that they want the trails enhanced so that they become viable connections to the neighborhoods.  Ideas to enhance the trails include larger projects to include as a consideration for future project funding, move the boulder that blocks the trail, and have juniors and seniors come up with projects through the school’s Genius Project program. • About 50 students currently take the North County Transit (NCTD) bus. Participants would like better or shorter bus routes specifically to accommodate the school commute. • A participant commented that a separated bike lane that is completely separated from the traffic through a physical median is the only way to protect bicyclists. • A participant mentioned the traffic lights are designed for cars, so some students are waiting forever for the lights to turn green and some just go even when the light is still red. o City staff shared that they may be able to adjust the video cameras, which are used to control traffic lights, to fix this issue. o A participant suggested painting bikes at locations that trigger sensors (like they do in Oceanside) so that riders know exactly where to stop to get a green light. • A participant mentioned that Cannon Road is a wide road and does not feel safe to ride a bike. • Participants mentioned the need to address traffic on El Camino at Cannon because vehicles block the bike lane when turning right/north on Cannon, which feels like a “bike jail”. • A participant observed students who live far away bike to school using El Camino Real.

This can be done through social media. • The project team should look into getting easements or access agreements for pick-up/drop-off with the local home-owners associations, including The Foothills neighborhood. • Participants would love to see more “Bike to School/Work Day” events. • The school community would like to see a Crossing Guard located at Bobcat Boulevard/Cannon Road and College Boulevard. Other feedback • Parents complained about the 85th percentile rule for setting speed limits because most drivers go faster than the speed limit all the time. • The school community wants to contact SANDAG and/or Caltrans to advocate that projects get completed (e.g., get the I-5 interchange addressed) and would like these projects included in the final SRTS Plan. • A participant suggested speed humps or rumble strips on Cannon Road approaching the College Boulevard intersection as the speed limit drops from 55 to 25. • Participants reported that some 20 semi-trucks come down from College Boulevard to Cannon Road making these streets feel less safe. They would like to see a rule forbidding semi-trucks from using these streets. • Participants shared that they think there are still some rooms for improvements, but they appreciate all the current improvements that have happened.

All alternatives were studied assuming the completion of the south leg of the intersection as part of the 4k Apartments project. AM and PM peak hour volumes used in the analysis were obtained from the 4k Apartments Local Mobility Analysis (LLG, 2023) Existing and Existing Plus Project scenarios. PM peak hour volumes were modified for movements to and from Bobcat Boulevard to account for school related traffic since the peak of afternoon school activity does not coincide with the PM peak hour. Vehicle volumes entering and exiting the school during and following dismissal were estimated from AM counts during the school arrival period. The estimated hourly volume exiting the school (700 vehicles) is approximately 7 times higher than the peak hour volume recorded between 4 and 5 pm. These estimates are likely higher than what actually occurs due to many students participating in after school programs All alternatives are presented as modifications to the Baseline Alternative described below. Signal timing and phasing were optimized for each alternative. Alternatives The following sections describe the intersection phasing, timing, and geometry assumptions for each alternative analyzed. Diagrams of the phasing are shown in each section. Note that these phasing diagrams generally show how much green time each vehicle phase would receive and do not show specifically when pedestrian and bike phases occur. Geometric layouts of each alternative, including which vehicle, pedestrian, and bike movements will be going concurrently are shown on At achment A. At achment A also summarizes the community concern and issue addressed by the alternative. At achment B includes the detailed Synchro operations analysis worksheets for each alternative. July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 83 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Existing Conditions: The intersection as it exists today is only a three-leg intersection with no south leg. However, there is a dedicated phase for pedestrians crossing the east and west legs of the intersection. Therefore, it was assumed that southbound turning movements would not run concurrently with the east and west leg crosswalks under any alternatives. Baseline Alternative (with 4K Apartment Project): This alternative assumes a new south leg at the Cannon Road/College Boulevard intersection with modifications to existing lane configurations shown on At achment A. This alternative also assumes northbound/southbound movements do not occur concurrently and also assumes a westbound right-turn overlap phase. This is comparable to adding northbound vehicle movements to the north/south pedestrian phase under the Existing Conditions. Note that this Baseline Alternative differs from what was assumed in the 4k Apartments Local Mobility Analysis (LLG, 2023), which assumed that the southbound through movement would go with the right-turns instead of the left-turns. The Local Mobility Analysis also assumed the intersection would operate with two- phases, meaning all turns were assumed permissive. The assumptions from the LMA yield better level of service results than the Baseline Alternative but substantially differ from how the signal currently operates and treats crosswalks and turning movements. In contrast, the phasing and geometry assumptions assumed for the Baseline Alternative for the Safe Routes to School Analysis retain key elements of how the intersection currently operates while accommodating the new south leg, such as the southbound right-turn overlap phase and no right-turn-on-red blank out signs. It also retains protection of the east and west leg crosswalks from left-turns and protection of the west leg crosswalk from southbound right-turns. Operations could be improved if the northbound left-turn was permissive and occurred with other northbound movements, requiring northbound vehicles turning left to yield to any pedestrians on the east leg crosswalk. July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 84 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 Alternative 1: Bike Left-Turn Via Pedestrian Phases: This alternative allows bikes to access the Class I facility from the bike lane on the southwest corner in one movement, by allowing the south leg and east leg crosswalks to go simultaneously during the eastbound left-turn/southbound right-turn overlap phase. This would allow bikes to use the concurrent pedestrian phases, which is now legal in California by default, by crossing the south leg and then the east leg during the same signal phase. Green bicycle crossings could be added to make this design clearer and more intuitive for bikes, as shown on page 6 of At achment A. This alternative also prohibits westbound right-turns on red during the bicycle left turn movement. The lane geometries are assumed to remain the same as the baseline scenario, as shown in At achment A. Alternative 2: Protected North Leg Crosswalk: This alternative includes elimination of the permissive westbound right-turn during the pedestrian phase on the north leg of the intersection. The lane geometry is assumed to remain the same as the baseline condition, as shown in At achment A. Summary The following table summarizes the major differences for each alternative that was tested: Table 1: Assumptions for Alternative Scenarios Alternative Lane Geometries Phasing Significant changes compared to Existing Conditions Baseline (4-leg configuration) -Added south leg-Converted one of SB leftlanes to shared SB thru/left-Added dedicated WB left-Converted outside EB thrulane to shared EB thru/right -WB left added to beginning of SB right turn overlapphase-WB right overlap added to SB phase-NB movements added with east + west crosswalkphases Significant changes compared to Baseline Scenario Alt 1: Bike Left- Turn Via Pedestrian Phases -None -South leg and east leg crosswalks go at same timeduring initial overlap phase, used by bikes to accesstrail-No RTOR for WB right during bike left turn movement Alt 2: Protected North Leg Crosswalk -None -No right turn for westbound right during phase withnorth leg crosswalk Source: Fehr & Peers, 2024 July 22, 2025 Item #9 Page 85 of 108 Docusign Envelope ID: AA7810F3-6FCF-482A-9781-6E10662A94B0 The following table and text summarize the results of the intersection operations analysis, including the combination of Alternative 1 + Alternative 2: Table 2: Intersection Operations Results Alternative AM Delay (Sec/Veh) AM LOS Change from Baseline (Sec/Veh) PM Delay (Sec/Veh) PM LOS Change from Baseline (Sec/Veh) Existing Conditions (3-leg configuration) 33.1 C 78.0 E Baseline (4-leg configuration) 37.7 D 70.8 E Alt 1: Bike Left-Turn Via Pedestrian Phases 38.4 D +0.7 61.4 E -9.4 Alt 2: Protected North Leg Crosswalk 38.7 D +1.0 82.8 F +12.0 Alt 1 + Alt 2 48.7 D +11.0 84.8 F +14.0 Source: Fehr & Peers, 2024 Alternative 1 Operations (Bike Left-Turn) This scenario requires extending the time provided for the eastbound left-turn vehicle phase to accommodate the pedestrian crossing distances, effectively delaying the start of the EBT movement and reducing green time for the southbound through movement during the AM peak hour. This scenario also adds an additional pedestrian phase for the east leg crosswalk per cycle. Assuming the same number of pedestrian calls per cycle as the baseline scenario would be split between the first signal sequence (bike left turn) and the sixth signal sequence (NB vehicle movements), this allows less time to be dedicated to the sixth signal sequence (NB vehicle movements) which provides a net benefit to intersection delay during the PM peak hour, as shown in Table 2. Alternative 2 Operations (Protected North Leg Crosswalk) During the PM peak hour, protecting the north leg crosswalk increases average delay by 12 seconds per vehicle, as shown in Table 2. Note that most of this increase is experienced by vehicles making a right-turn from Bobcat Boulevard to Cannon Road. This delay is also likely an overestimate since volumes were likely overestimated, as mentioned previously, due to many students participating in after school programs. Additionally, most drivers on Bobcat Boulevard already experience delays exiting the school during the afternoon due to the heavy concentration of pick-up activity. Changes to vehicle delay for drivers traveling between Cannon Road and College Boulevard are minimal. Alternative 1+2 Operations (Bike Left Turn and Protected North Leg Crosswalk) Combining Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 protects both the north leg and east leg crosswalks, providing less capacity for westbound right-turns than either Alternative 1 or Alternative 2 individually which results in the increase in average delay. Comparison of Alternatives Protecting the north leg crosswalk results in a larger increase in delay but improves safety at the busiest crossing for pedestrians to and from Sage Creek High School. It is also simple to implement, only requiring the addition of an LED No Right Turn sign for westbound right turns activated when pedestrians are crossing the north leg of the intersection. Changing signal phasing, signage, and striping to accommodate a bike left-turn via pedestrian phases across the south and east intersection legs would better protect students biking to school as well as other recreational cyclists using Cannon Road and College Boulevard.

While infrastructure improvements create safer and more comfortable routes, non-infrastructure (also called encouragement and education) SRTS activities like traffic safety education and promotional activities encourage students to choose active modes to get to and from school. In addition, SRTS projects with non- infrastructure components build enthusiasm and support for active transportation and can be an important first step toward implementing more costly infrastructure improvements. This memo outlines SRTS non-infrastructure recommendations for Sage Creek High School. The Carlsbad SRTS project team compiled these recommendations based on school and community needs and priorities, available resources, and SRTS best practices. These recommendations present ways that the City of Carlsbad (City), Carlsbad Unified School District (CUSD), Sage Creek High School staff, parents/caregivers, and students, and others can participate in SRTS activities. Bike/Pedestrian Education School-based skills and traffic safety instruction during PE or other appropriate learning time would provide opportunities for the development of pedestrian and bicycle traffic safety skills, bike handling skills, safe riding practices (“street smarts”), helmet fit, bike prep, and bike repair for Sage Creek High School students. There are various local resources available, such as the Carlsbad Safer Streets Together resources, which include free bike and e-bike safety courses for students and their families offered by Carlsbad Police Department. Moreover, the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition provides bicycle laws and safety tips on its website resources page and holds school-based pedestrian and bike safety classes.

City of Carlsbad 2 E-bike Training and Licensing Program E-bike safety awareness trainings teach students how to safely use an e-bike on streets. Students must pass a quiz to demonstrate understanding of the training and receive a permit to stick on their e-bike, allowing them to bring and store their e-bike on campus. Sage Creek High School and CUSD already implement a bike and e-bike training requirement for students to receive a permit to ride and park their bikes on campus. Resources: • Carlsbad Unified School District Bike and E-bike Safety Class Registration + Permit Process • E-Bike Safety Information, Huntington Beach Union High School District • City of Carlsbad Electric Bike Road Rules Please Pull Forward Signage On-campus, “Please Pull Forward” signage can remind drivers to use the entire drop-off/pick-up space when unloading and loading their students. This has the benefit of getting vehicles off the streets, which reduces traffic congestion and reduces vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. Sage Creek High School already utilizes “Please Pull Forward” signage at student drop-off and pick-up locations. The City could leverage their “Safer Together” campaign branding to create school drop-off/pick-up signage that reminds drivers to pull forward, stay off mobile phones, and pay attention to other students and vehicles. Resource: • Westminster Safe Routes to School Plan Appendix E School Board Policy School board policies, like California Board of Education Board Policy (BP) 5142.2 Safe Routes to School Program, help solidify a school district’s commitment to promoting active transportation as a safe and healthy way to get to and from school. CUSD adopted BP 5142.2 along with Administrative Regulation (AR) 5142.2 in October 2021. CUSD support for SRTS can be leveraged to grow SRTS efforts and even secure grant funding for future SRTS initiatives. Resources: • CUSD BP 5142.2: Safe Routes to School Program • CUSD AR 5142.2: Safe Routes to School Program School Communications Schools, including Sage Creek High School, are critical to promoting safe walking, bicycling, and driving behavior and encouraging families to walk and bike. They can share walking and biking promotional messages through school communication channels such as newsletters, social media, websites, and in-person events to create a school culture that supports active travel. The City could leverage their “Safer Together” campaign branding to create resources for schools like Sage Creek High School to promote safe and frequent walking and biking to school.

City of Carlsbad 3 Suggested Route Map The City created suggested route maps as a part of their 2020 Sustainable Mobility Plan. A suggested route map shows walking (and biking for older students) routes to school along with key information including existing infrastructure, approximate route times, key landmarks, and more. Suggested route maps are a great tool for communicating walking and biking opportunities and help channelize routes, which can lead to safer conditions for all road users.
