CITY Am& CITY MGR- RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive presentation from the San Pacifico Home Owners Association. ITEM EXPLANATION: The City Council provides an opportunity for citizens and organizations to have an item placed on a City Council Agenda by submitting a letter to the City Manager. Attached is a letter (Exhibit 1) from Dale Ordas, Board member, San Pacifico Home Owners Association (HOA), requesting the opportunity to make a presentation to the City Council regarding the potential installation of stop signs at Avenida Encinas at Portage Way/Marlin Lane, Windrose, and at Dory Lane/Meridian Way. There is no action that the City Council needs to take regarding this matter. FISCAL IMPACT: Unknown at this time. EXHIBITS: 1. HOA, dated March 27, 2003. Letter to Ray Patchett, City Manager, from Dale Ordas, Board member, San Pacifico Dale E. Ordas Mediator-A&ibutc+ Lawyer- SB #38140 Alternative Dispute Resolution Services 300 Carlsbad Village Dr., Ste l08A PMB203, Carlsbad, CA 92008 Trl(7M) 61 3-9387 D&O@or~.cotn (760) 43 I-9061 Fm March 27,2003 Honorable Claude A. “Bud” Lewis Mayor City of Carlsbad 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 Re: Request of San Pacifico Community Assoc, et al, for Stop Signs on Avenida Encinas at Portage Way/Marlin Lane, Windrose and at Dory Ln. / Meridian Way Dear Mayor Lewis: On behalf of the members of the San Pacifico Community Association, the Vistamat @ San Pacifico Homeowners Association, Santalina Homeowners Association, and the San Pacifico - Area A Homeowners Association, request is made that the matter of Stop Signs on Avenida Encinas at Portage WayMarlin Lane, Avenida Encinas at Windrose Circle, and Avenida Encinas at Dory Lane/Meridian Way be placed on the agenda of the Carlsbad City Council per the attached petitions, which are incorporated by reference (Exhibit # 1). Avenida Encinas runs through our community, making it necessary for approximately half of the residents to cross Avenida Encinas in order to use the pool or tennis courts. In the past, community members have requested a traffic control device to provide safe crossing for pedestrians crossing Avenida fincinas at the intersection of Portage Way/Marlin Lane. The city’s response was to install a “PEDESTRIAN” symbol sign in both directions on Avenida Encinas approaching Portage WayMarlin Lane, as evidenced by the letter dated August 28,2001, a copy of which is attached. This action, while appreciated, has not reduced the risk of personal injury or property damage posed by traffic on Avenida Encinas. The risk for our community members exists whether they are on foot or in a vehicle. Stopping D~S~BCCS The reasons given by the city’s Transportation Engineer (the Engineer) was that there were “360 feet of stopping sight distance” and 300 feet would allow a motorist traveling at 45 mph to react and slow or stop. Avenida Encinas is described by the Engineer as an arterial roadway with a critical speed of 40 mph &e., 85’ percentile speed) (Exhibit # 2). Where and how these measurements were taken was not set forth in the materials presented in response to our records request. Presumably, the stopping distances employed assumed dry pavement and a -75 second reaction time. These, of course, are optimal conditions. Unfortunately, we do not live in an ideal world. The stopping distance would increase substantially if the surface of the roadway were wet or slippery (approximately 20%). Reaction times can exceed 2 seconds in elderly people, who are a significant part of our community. Whether the downgrade of Avenida Encinas compels a 20% increase in the stopping distance required by Table 201.1 must also be addressed? Vision Obstruction Impacts Stopping Distance Further, when the bus stop to the southleast of Portage WayMarlin Lane is occupied by a bus, a motorist approaching in a northerly direction is unable to see a pedestrian crossing at that intersection. The attached photosraph show a bus northbound on Avenida Encinas just south of the intersection at Portage WayMarlin Lane (Exhibit # 3). The second photo simulates the same bus in the bus stop cut-out (Exhibit # 4). The vision obstruction created for northbound motorists precludes seeing pedestrians or vehicles approaching to enter Avenida Encinas from Marlin Lane. The NCTD bus schedules show they run approximately every half hour= Decision Sight Distance Further, the CalTrans Traffc Manual, the acknowledged benchmark for highway design, provides that there should be specified distances for Corner Sight Distance at intersections such as Windrose, Portage Way and Meridian. This must be determined in light of the critical speed of 40mph. The corner sight distance set forth in Table 405.1A for 40 mph is 440 feet to allow the driver making a left turn fnwn the crossroad a 7.5 second time window. The Decision Sight Disrrrnccs set out in Table 405.1B ~tfe: 30 mpb ... 450 feet; 40 mph ... 600 feet. Clearly, even at the posted speed limit of 35 mph, the 360 fix4 cited by the city’s Transportation Engineer is not enough distance for drivers to see and react to cars or pedestrians entering Avenida Encinas at those intersections. Accident Hkrtory & Tnffic Volume The section on Trstffic Signal Warrants (9-01.2), to which the Ensineer may have alluded in responding to the earlier request, lists sevd hetors to support the installation of an electrically - powered traffic signal - such as traffic volume and a history of five or more accidents within a year. By the data provided in response to our records request, the traffic volume criteria have been met. The accident history is as follows: 1) 1/7/00 Meridian Way; 2) 8/15/00 Windrose Cir; 3) 10/7/00 Winch.ose Ck 4) 1 1/19/00 Wimbrwe Cir; 5) 12/2/00 Windrose Ciq 6) 5/25/01 W&e Ciq 7) 10/8/02 Meridian Way; 8) a ColIision occurred 4-6 weeks ago at Portage Way, but does not’appear as reported ColrclPsioa While the combination of accident history, traffic volume and sight distance probably warrants a b.affic signal under the CalTtans manual, installation of stop signs would be an economical interim step toward reduction of the risk. In combination with a Flashing Beacun (9-05-1 3) and a Cross Road Siga (W9) there should be a substantial improvement in the safety of our community. Wherefore, it is requested that this matter be set on the City Council’s agenda at the earliest available date unless this renewed request for stop signs on Avenida Encinas is approved without necessi of such further action.

All intersections present a dangerous conditioa3 because of the prevailing speeds on Avenida Embas and impairad sight distance (vertical and horizontal) due tothe curves and hills that make up the roadway. Windrose is the only entrance to Santalha, Rosalina and Areas A-2,3and 4 of our Association. It is also the only exit for Santalina and Rosalina. Left turns onto Win&- are Mow due to the speed of oncoming traffic, which is sight impaired.

When one side laoks clear, it seems another speeding vehicle appears fmm the other dw accelerator everytime we want to use Encinas. There are a number of close calls and unreported accidents in addition to the reported accidents at these intersections.

The traffic studies induded ahview of current traffic vofumes, pedestrian crossing volumes, pedestrian. gap studies and intersection geomtridsight distance evaluation. Based on the rieSults of the studies, a work order has been Issued to instan' 8 'PEDESTRIAN' symbol sign in both dimns on Avenida Encbras approaching the intersection of f%rtage WayMarlhr-Lane. These-sigris witl giva an advanced warning ta- mtcjffsfs to exped pedestrians to be crossing in thki area The traffic studies found that during the study periods (it15 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. to 315 p.m.), there are an average of3 usable gaps for pedestrianre to caws Avenicta Encinas every minute. Duting this s8m 3 hour time pew, a total of 15 pedestrians were obsewed crossing Avenida Endnas at this intersection without incident. Field measurements of the existing "comer and %bpping' sight distance at this intersection found that the minimum required stopping sight distance of 300 feet (for 40 mph) is being pmvkfed of exceeded. Avenida Encinas, being a secondary arterial roadway, has a design speed and also a'acr#cal speed" of 40 miles per hour. The *critical speed" (also known as the "85 percentile speed"), is the speed at which 85% of the motorists surveyed we- driving at or Mow. Motorists approaching this intetsedbn on Aven'Kta Enanas CBR see a pedestrian ctossing approximately 360 feet in advance of the crossing location. This 360 feet of stopping sight distance provides enough time for a motorist traveling at 45mph to read and elow dawn or stop for a pedestrian. I August 28,2001 AVENIDA ENCINAS PEDESTRIAN CROSSING CONCERNS Page 2 You also mentioned your concerns about motorists exceeding the speed limit on Avenida Encinas. 'You might want to contact .Sgt. Kelly Cain of the Carlsbad Police Department, Traffic Division at (760) 931-2106, to discuss your concerns and perhaps request the scheduling of the '%adat trailer' and some enforcement on this section of Avenida Encinas. The "radar trailer" is an educational device that shows the posted speed limit and also radars and displays the current speed ofeach appmaching ve hide. In closing, the two 'PEDESTRIAN" symbol signs should be installed within the next few weeks and will give motorists on Avenida Encinas an advanced warning to expect pedestrians to be crossing in the area. Pedestrians need to also be reminded to be alert and cautious when crossing this and any street. Thank you for your concerns regarding pedestrian safe^ and for your patience while staff completed the traffic studies. If you have any questions, please give me a call at (760) 602-2734.

Three types of sight distance are considered here passing, stopping, and decision. Stopping Sight distance it tho ddmum sigbt distance to be provided on multilane highways md 012 2-lane mads when passing sight distance is not economically obtainable. Stoppiw sipbt distance also is to be provided for all ele- ments of intorchanges rad intersections at gr#de, including private road connections (see Indexes 405.1, 504.1 and FiBure 405.7). Decision sight dirrtancs is used at mafor deci- sion points (see Indexes 20J.7 and 504.2). The following table shows the standards for passiag and stopping sight dietanct related to design speed. These are the aldnrm ral- OID tht 8b.n bo Ut8 ia ddg0. Table 201.1 Sight Distance Standards Chapter XI1 of 'A Policy on Geometric De- sirn of Highways and Streets," AASHTO, 1984, contains n thorough discvuion of the derivation of stopping sight distance. 2013 Paulns S@ht Dbtuce Passing sQht distpnce is the minimum sight di8Wnct reqoirod for the driver of one vehicle to post another vehicle aafcly and comfortably. Paniiag must be occomplishcd without reducinp the $peed of an oncoming vehicle traveling nt the design speed should it come into view after the overtaking maacwtr ia started. The sight distance available for passing at my place is tba longest distance at whicb a driver whwe eyes are 3.5 feet above the pavement surface can set the top of an object 4.25 feet high on the toad. Powin8 sight dittrnco is considered only on 2-hne roads. At critical locrtions, e stretch of 3- or 4-lane paning sectioo with stopping sigbt diatancc ;a tometimen more economical than two lanes with passing right distance (see Indox 204.5). Figure 201.2 shows graphically the rela- tionship amon$ length of vertical curve, de- sign sw, and algebraic difference in grades. Any one factor can be determinod when the other two are known.
