SECTION III: Existing Conditions & TDM Context
Complete the following section to establish existing conditions and TDM context.
Relevant Existing TDM Infrastructure Network
Please provide a brief discussion or map that describes the alternative transportation infrastructure available that
serves the project site. Include the following items:
Carlsbad TDM Handbook
C-4
• Pedestrian infrastructure adjacent to the side (e.g. sidewalks, nearby crosswalks or signalized
crossings)
• Bike infrastructure by type (e.g. Class I, II, or III) adjacent to the site
• Transit or shuttle services serving the site with a stop/station within a ¼ mile (or a 5-minute walk)
Marron Rd from El Salto Flats Rd to the eastern City limits has a non‐contiguous decomposed granite (DG) path on
the southside of the roadway. This DG path extends westerly to El Salto Falls St. The intersection of Marron Rd at
El Salto Falls St is a roundabout with cross walks. Extending easterly from the project site, the DG path transitions
to a concrete sidewalk at or near the city limit. Further east of the site and located in the City of Oceanside, Marron
Rd has sidewalks. The closest crosswalks east of the site on Marron Road is at the signalize Quarry Creek Center
cross street, which is about 1,000 feet east of the project’s pedestrian access point.
There are Class 2 bike lanes in each direction along Marron Road along the project frontage. These Class 2 bike lanes
on Marron Rd extend from Candelas St (located within the residential community west of the site) to College Blvd.
The project will include bike racks for four (4) bikes.
An existing bus stop is on the S. side of Marron Rd approximately 850 ft east of the project’s pedestrian access point.
Relevant Project-Specific TDM Infrastructure
Please provide a brief discussion and site plan describing the onsite TDM infrastructure currently available:
• Number of public bike racks and approximate location with regards to building entrance
• Average utilization of bike racks (in %)
• Number secure bike racks (specify whether in bike cage, bike room or bike lockers)
• Average utilization of bike racks (in %)
• Number of designated carpool/vanpool spaces and location with regards to building entrance

• Any other infrastructure or services available to property tenants that encourage the use of public
transit, carpooling, vanpooling, walking and biking, such as a bike repair station, an onsite shelter or
waiting area for buses or shuttles, etc.
Proposed number of bike racks = four (4) for the ability to secure four (4) bikes
Average utilization of bike racks = unknown
Proposed number of secure bike racks = 0
Average utilization of secure bike racks = NA
Proposed number of designated carpool/vanpool spaces = 1
Average utilization of designated carpool/vanpool spaces = unknown
Environmental
In the box below, please provide maps of the relevant topographical and experiential conditions that will
influence travel behaviors to the project site. At a minimum, provide the following:
• A Google map with terrain view and bike lanes showing approximately a 2-mile radius around the site
• Photos (or street view screenshot) of the roads adjacent to the property
• If relevant, discuss additional environmental aspects that may impact use of active and alternative
transportation, such as traffic speeds, pedestrian safety, lighting, etc.

These two shopping centers have a variety of stores including Kohl’s, Wells Fargo, Gas station, credit union,
dry cleaners, UPS store, and other various retailers.

Include the following:
• Existing or anticipated commute hours based on shifts or typical work hours
• Existing or anticipated percentage of part-time employees
• Any existing commuting information, such as the percentage of employees using different commute
modes and the average commute distance.
Business hours are generally 6 AM to 6 PM (however, teachers/staff will stay late if parent/guardian is late).
Day care opens at 6 AM with employees generally arriving from 6–8 AM
Day care closes at 6 PM; however, children start to be picked up around 3 PM, thus the PM peak his unlike
an office use. The anticipated employee count will be around 10 with closing at 6 PM.
Anticipated percentage of part time employees (est. 6).
Unknown average commute distance for future employees.
