AB #9475 - RE-STRIPING A PORTION OF LA COSTA AVENUE AND RESTRICTING PARKING. City Engineer Lloyd Hubbs introduced this item and gave the preliminary report, with Bob gohnson, Traffic Engineer, continuing the report as contained in the Agenda Bill. Transparencies were used to indicate the five alternatives that had been considered in this matter, and slides of the affected area of La Costa Avenue were shown. Sheldon Penn, 2426 La Costa Avenue, stated he owned a lot at that address, and most of the people present tonight live on that street and do not want it re- striped. He stated if the people living there cannot get out of their driveways, they cannot live there. He recommended the striping be left as it is now or Alternative #4 be adopted. Andre Williams, 2408 La Costa Avenue, told of accidents on La Costa Avenue between Rancho Santa Fe Road and El Camino Real. He stated the reasons for the accidents is the poor sight distance and the excessive speed. Mr. Williams felt a continuous left-turn lane would on1.y lead to higher speeds on the street, and no parking would also tend to cause higher speeds. Chuck Hodil, 3007 La Costa Avenue, representing Citizens for a Safe La Costa Avenue, stated he was one of the more than 200 people living along La Costa Avenue. He felt the issue was one of safety, as the people living in this particular area need a buffer zone to be able tc have ingress and egress from their driveways, and the parking lane provides that buffer. Mr. Hodil expressed support for Alternative $14. I Peter Tracy, 2409C La Costa Avenue, a resident in the condominiums on the south side of La Costa Avenue, stated he saw no need for bike lanes, as they are used for recreation and the residents along that area use the road for getting to work. He requested a continuous left-turn lane be placed there to enable the 58 tenants in their complex to make a left turn without fear of a fatal accident.

He referred to photographs indicating there was very little parking on the street--as that area is used as a buffer zone for ingress and egress, due to the poor sight distance problem. Mr. Mosele requested approval of Alternative f4. Robert Huntoon, 2320 "A" La Costa Avenue, representing Alta Yerde Homeowners Association, stated he was the person who wrote the first letter asking for a turn pocket or some way to make a safe turn. The Homeowners Association would support a left-turn lane first; parking, second and a bike lane third. He also commented on the excessive speed of traffic. Bill Ryan, 3005 La Costa Avenue, told of the excessive speed of vehicles and stated he had timed some vehicles at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. 3oe Mitchell, 4660 Central Avenue #4, San Diego, representing the San Diego Bicycle Coalition, asked Council to consider the interests of the bicycle riders. If the cyclists are forced to share the lanes with vehicles, there is a higher risk for injury or death to them. He stated the school children need the bike lanes to ride their bikes to school, and added that bike lanes are needed both directions for safety. Marylynn Brown-Bellman, 2638 Luciernaga, representing Villa La Costa Association, stated she lived in the condominiums nearest the shopping center, which were the first condominiums on the street. At the time they were built, the standard was only one parking space per unit, which now makes parking very critical. She favored Alternative #4, stating she would like a left- turn lane, but not at the expense of the parking lane. Stan Michaels, 24275 La Costa Avenue, representing De Marbea Condo Complex as President of the Board, stated there are 58 families living in those condos with no way to turn left into the complex. He stated that speed is the worst problem in that area, and added a left-turn lane is necessary. Sharon Grether, 2508 La Costa Avenue, representing her parents, stated the need for a parking lane as a buffer zone in order to exit and enter the driveway to their h ome . Dale Morrison, 3421 Ann Drive, spoke on behalf of the bike commuters, stating he would use the street with or without the stripina. He favored all alternatives that included bike lanes.

He felt the long term problem is the reduction of speed on the street. He suggested more visual enforcement of the speed limit with signs stating it is residential area and the speed law strictly enforced. He felt the quality of life for residents should be a prime consideration. Mark Withero, 3015 La Costa Avenue, representing Citizens for a safe La Costa Avenue, stated Mr. Huntoon had requested a safe turn lane in the middle of the street, and he felt engineering had not considered the 200 families that must back out into the street. He recommended leaving the bike lanes, as they tend to slow the traffic, but also have a parkina lane for safety. Mr. Withero stated that a continuous two-way lane keeps traffic moving swiftly, and the traffic in that area is already too swift. He felt there should be only two through lanes. I Mr. Withero stated the parking lane should be the number one priority for safety; second, a continuous turn lane or bike lanes. He supported Alternative 84. In answer to Council query regarding the possibility of lowering the speed limit, Mr. Johnson explained the method used to determine the critical speed and difficulties in enforcement if speed limits are set lower. Council discussion reflected the need to retain the parking lane in front of the single-family residences; and the desire to provide a pocket-turn lane in front of the condominiums. The City Manager stated that based on Council comments, staff would return with striping proposals to include Alternative 84 with left turn pockets; and one which would eliminate the bike lanes. Council continued this item to 3uly 5, 1988, for additi.ona1 information concerning alternative striping.
