OPTIMIZATION AND OPERATIONS STUDY DEPT. ENG CITY n
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. “jc -5.7 approving an agreement with JHK and Assock
complete a traffic engineering interchange optimization and operation study for the C:
Village Drive, Tamarack Avenue, Cannon Road, Palomar Airport Road, Poinsettia La1
La Costa Avenue interchanges with Interstate 5.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The most critical roadway links and the most difficult operational problems in tt
circulation network occur at freeway interchanges. Typically major peak hour
movements are flowing to and from the freeway to complete intercity links to emplc
centers. Major arterial traffic volumes and numerous turning movements occur togett
focus at the freeway interchanges. In Carlsbad and in other San Diego jurisdictions, 1
interchanges abut frontage roads in close proximity to interchange ramps. This s
further complicates traffic movements in and around the interchanges.
Tamarack Avenue and Carlsbad Village Drive are examples that illustrate this situatil
well. With respect to the Interstate 5 on and off ramps, the close proximity of Pi0 Pic(
a parallel frontage road, and the Tamarack Avenue/Jefferson Street intersection lesi
large number of traffic controls in close proximity to each other. Inefficient
coordination or just over demand can saturate these systems and cause traffic b
through the intersection with the resulting congestion approaching gridlock.
The current situation found along Carlsbad Village Drive and Tamarack Avenue \n
be duplicated at Cannon Road, Palomar Airport Road, Poinsettia Lane and to a lessei
at La Costa Avenue, but with much higher volumes.
Staff believes it important from both an operational standpoint and as a growth mani
mandate to study these interchange systems to develop the optimum system and ak
measure of transportation system Level of Service.
The proposed study involves six tasks in two major phases. Phase 1 will dr
methodology for studying interchange systems and establish a measure for levels o
of the interchange system. Such a measurement tool does not currently exist in thl
traffic engineering and will break new ground in this area. Level of Service as trac
utilized deals with isolated intersections or free flowing roadway links. MetF
developed by this study will establish a system measure of effectiveness that can bc
on a uniform and consistent basis. This measure would be utilized to stul
interchange location and would serve as the criteria for capacity analysis utilize
annual traffic monitoring program.
The second part of Phase I will be the detailed analysis of Cannon Road and Palom
Road. This element will be completed first to provide guidance in reviewir
development proposals at these intersections. In addition to operational characteri
study will evaluate the potential relocation of Paseo Del Norte to enhance intc
operation. At both of these locations opportunities exist to guide access developmt could dramatically improve traffic operations,

Phase II of the project will analyze and make recommendations to optimize the othc
interchanges. These studies will utilize the methodology developed in Phase 1 to esi
optimum signal timing and operations. This effort will give the City of Carlsbad c
approach CALTRANS with regarding traffic signal operation improvements,
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The Contract amount is $49,362. This study would be funded from both South and
Carlsbad Traffic Impact Fee Funds as a part of the fund budgeted for annual
management monitoring.

1. WORK PLAN
PHASE 1
Work in Phase I will focus on four major tasks. The first task will be to review
existing data and past studies in the project area, The second task will be to
develop a guideline for assessment of arterial traffic operations in freeway
interchange areas. The third task in Phase I will be to use the analysis tool from
Task 2 to assess the existing and future operations of Palomar Airport Road and
Cannon Road in the area of the 1-5 interchanges. This assessment will include the
development of operational and alignment alternatives for Paseo del Norte in this
area. The fourth task will involve documenting Phase I work.
1
ll
Task 1 Review Existing Data and Past Studies
In this task, JHK will obtain all existing data and past studies which the City
currently maintains. This material will be reviewed for appropriateness relative to
the needs for this project. Past studies to be reviewed include the Urban Systems,
Boyle Engineering, and Bankston/Pine reports already provided to JHK
Additionally, JHK will obtain any Caltrans Project Study Reports or Project Report
which may have been prepared for the project area. One meeting will be held ii
Task 1 to "kick off" the project and discuss project procedures.
a
Task 2 Develop Arterial Analysis Guideline for Interchange Areas
The purpose of Task 2 is to develop a procedure for analysis of arterial traffi
operations in the area of freeway interchanges. It is expected that this procedur
will address such factors as intersection spacing, types of traffic control (traff'
signal, stop sign, etc.), signal phasing and timing, ramp metering, queue storag
capacity, safety, weaving, and access. Each of these and other factors will 1
included on a checklist for consideration in the analysis process. Recom mendatio
will be given as to how to consider each factor in the analysis process, acceptab
uses, appropriate values or ranges of each factor, and the relative importance
each factor in the operation of the interchange area.

The analysis procedure will incorporate many “off -the-shelf” analysis
procedures, such as the PASSER 11-87, PASSER 111-88, and Highway Capacity
Software programs. The analysis quideline will be intended to provide a consistent
means of analyzing any of the 1-5 interchange areas in the City of Carlsbad, and
therefore, should produce results for one interchange which can readily be compared
3
-1 with the operations of any other interchange area.
The guideline will be submitted to City staff for review and comment. Any
revisions suggested by City staff or JHK staff will be incorporated throughout
Phase I activities. It is expected that the analysis of the two interchange areas in
Task 3 will provide for a trial application of the analysis guideline, and as such, will
help indicate where refinement of the methodology may be appropriate.
Key subtasks of Task 2 include:
o Identify candidate measures.
o
o
Develop ideal values for measures.
Develop interaction indices for measures.
o Develop scoring criteria.
o
Two meetings will be held with City staff during Task 2. The first meeting
will focus on the identification of candidate criteria. The second meeting wil
concentrate on developing weighting criteria for each measure. These criteria wil
formulate the scoring system used to evaluate interchange areas.
Package guideline in user context.
Task 3 Conduct Analysis of Palomar Airport Road and Cannon Road
Work in Task 3 will focus on the analysis of existing conditions and futur
alternatives for Palomar Airport Road and Cannon Road in the 1-5 interchange are;
These analyses will be conducted according to the guidelines and procedures define
in Task 2, It is assumed that all data needed for the analysis will be provided by tt
City of Carlsbad. This data will include current and forecast traffic volumes (bo1
peak hour and daily volumes), existing signal timing, and geometric information ’
include lane usage and intersection spacing, and accident history at the:
interchanges.
1-2
0 e
Alternatives to be considered will include both operational and geometric
treatments. Operational alternatives will include changes in signal phasing and
timing and revised access concepts for traffic using Paseo del Norte to access the
3 d
4 regional shopping mall and Price Club. Access options to be considered will include
median treatments and one-way, paired streets. Geometric alternatives will include
alignment options for Paseo del Norte. These alignment options will focus on
improving traffic operations by providing a more desirable spacing of intersections.
Alignment and access alternatives will be developed at a scale of 1" = 100'. It
is assumed that reproducible aerial mapping for this area will be provided by City
staff.
One meeting will be held at the conclusion of Task 3 to discuss the results of
the analyses.
Task 4 Document Phase I Activities
In this task, JHK will prepare a user's document with summary graphics and
tables which describe the analysis guideline developed in Task 2 and refined through
usage in Task 3. This document will be intended to serve as a guide for JHK':
analysis in Phase 2 of this project and in the City's future work in evaluatint;
operation of interchange areas. A draft version of the guideline will initially bc
submitted to the City. At this time, JHK will make a presentation on the guidelinc
for City staff. It is anticipated that the City may wish to have several consultant
review the guideline to aid in its refinement. A two week review period has beel
assumed in the Project Schedule. Upon the City's review, a final guideline will bc
prepared.
A technical report will also be prepared which summarizes all analyses of thl
Palomar Airport Road and Cannon Road interchange areas. In addition,
nontechnical summary will be prepared which will be intended for the City's use i
