Semiannual Transportation Report
Citywide
Recommended Action
Receive a semiannual transportation report.
Executive Summary
The City Council asked staff in 2018 to provide a semiannual report on the progress of
multimodal transportation initiatives. (Minute motion, March 20, 2018.) This is the fifth such
report providing an update on the Transportation Department’s efforts in these initiatives.
This report shows the accomplishments of each division of the Transportation Department of
the past six months, as well as goals for the next six months.
Discussion
During the city’s goal setting on Feb. 14, 2020, the Carlsbad City Council confirmed that mobility
is one of the top three priorities for the city, along with growth management and homelessness
for the next fiscal year.
In July 2020, the semiannual transportation report included information on reorganization of
the department to include addition of the Streets and Storm Drain Maintenance Division. With
this addition, the department is now focused on transportation projects and related assets
throughout the asset lifecycle. This lifecycle includes the phases of planning, design,
construction and operations and maintenance. The 2020 report also included impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the major rainstorm of April 10, 2020, which were two significant
anomalies that affected the department’s work plan during the first six months of the year.
The COVID-19 pandemic continued during the second half of 2020.

CONSENT CALENDAR:
This item was pulled for discussion by Chair Gocan
1. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM – FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 SLURRY SEAL AND FOG SEAL,
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PROJECT NO. 6001-21SS - Support staff’s
recommendation to implement the Pavement Management Program - Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-
21 Slurry Seal and Fog Seal (Project), Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 6001-

seal project.

Exhibit 2
Page 2 of 5 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Associate Engineer Elias explained that the slurry seal and fog seal project will address neighborhood
streets and some arterial roads. It is a surface applied product and it is very thin layer. Areas identified
with cracks they do a work called patching which is digging down the pavement, about 3”, then pave
that area only and lastly apply the thin layer of slurry seal and fog seal to make the road uniform.
Chair Gocan expressed her concern because of a slurry seal job that was done 2 years ago and in her
opinion, did not address the vegetation growing in the cracks on the road and made the vegetation even
stronger.
Engineer Manager Ajideh explained that his department manages the design of the Pavement Overlay
and the Construction Management & Inspection Department, oversees the project and conducts the
inspection for quality control. He will be glad to contact the Construction Management & Inspection
Department to see if there are notes and some information about the job Chair Gocan is referring to.
Commissioner Linke had concerns about the striping after the slurry seal is done and if the T&MC will
see the plans with the proposed striping. We welcome early feedback or concerns that the
commissioners may have before we finalize the striping plans.
Engineer Manager Ajideh explained that this project will be submitted to the Traffic Division for their
comments and inputs and after that this project will be back to the T&MC for consideration and
approval.
Commissioner Perez inquired about if the city has a website where residents can express any concerns
or questions about services.
Transportation Director Frank said that an email will go out to the commissioners with the city website
and app information.
Commissioner Penseyres stated that he would like to provide input in any changes proposed including
widening of bike lanes and improving crosswalk visibility.
Commissioner Linke cited as an example that 12-foot lane to 11-foot lane and if you have 3 lanes, you
can add a 3-foot total buffer to the bike lane on the main arterial roads.

Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Transportation Director Frank answered that for this subdivision the adjacent detention base and
sedimentation base the existing water table is roughly two feet below the discharge elevation and staff
is looking for the solutions to address the problem.
Commissioner Wanamaker inquired about the storm drains on residential areas getting clogged up with
debris/trash off the road and how staff is addressing the problem.
Transportation Director Frank explained about the annually clean-up storm drains program that the city
has in place and, a program to install more inlet filters.
Commissioner Linke presented his comments and reviewed the PowerPoint presentation (on file in the
Office of the City Clerk).
Commissioner Linke inquired if there is a plan to take the TIA Guidelines; MMLOS Point System; TIF
Program and TDM Program (Residential) to the T&MC in the next six months and in what format.
Transportation Director Frank answered yes, we have a plan and the specifics of the time table is being
developed internally but staff will bring the programs to you for your input and consideration.
Commissioner Linke inquired if CIP 6051 and 6054 will be brought to the T&MC for comments and
inputs and if the Valley Drive and Magnolia Avenue Complete Streets will be back to T&MC for final
comments.
Transportation Director Frank said that the CIP 6051 – Roadway widening to El Camino Real from Arenal
Road to la Costa Avenue will return to the T&MC at a later date.
Engineer Manager Ajideh answered that CIP 6054 - Carlsbad Boulevard from Cannon Road to Manzano
Drive is still in the early stages of development and the design has not officially started but staff will
bring this item to the T&MC for comments at a later date.
Commissioner Penseyres presented his comments and reviewed the PowerPoint presentation (on file in
the Office of the City Clerk).
Commissioner Penseyres emphasized the importance of roundabouts and planning it correctly to serve
the community well and keep all modes of transit safe.

SECTION APPROACH – (Staff contact: Nathan Schmidt and Tom Frank, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive a presentation and provide input on the approach
for the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Growth Management Plan Monitoring Report Circulation
Section
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt presented the report and reviewed the
PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
COMMISSION DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Linke said that the staff report provided to the Commission on Nov. 2, 2020 was more
detailed than the report before the commission today. Is the report we are reviewing today adding to
the Nov. 2, report or is this an update?
Jan. 19, 2021 Item #7 Page 23 of 25
Exhibit 2
Page 4 of 5 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt responded that the report being reviewed by
the commission today is intended to supplement the Nov. 2, staff report providing a response to the
commissions questions and comments for the first review.
Commissioner Linke said that one of the items in our work plan is to review the Growth Management
Program Annual Monitoring Report Manual. Is staff still working on a separate manual that outlines the
methodologies specifically for GMP Monitoring? I bring this up because of the question on when
recounts are required and I would like a set of rules to be established that provide clear direction on
when recounts are needed.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt responded that the elements of the GMP
Annual Monitoring Report Manual would be included in the updated Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
Guidelines and not a separate manual. This update is anticipated to occur over the course of the next
year.
Commissioner Linke stated that he thought it would be best if the GMP Report Manual was
incorporated into the TIA guidelines and would like to request that the rules for recounts be included in
the TIA guidelines so that they would apply to both the GMP Monitoring reports and TIA’s for
development projects.
Commissioner Linke suggested that traffic count data should be collected on the two facilities of Faraday
Ave. and Poinsettia Ln. which are already included in the city’s service volume tables even though they
are not required for monitoring per the city’s General Plan Mobility Element. The reason counts should
be conducted here is because these roadways experience heavy vehicle traffic and it would be useful to
monitor traffic volumes here. This should also apply to the area of Poinsettia Ln. near Melrose Dr., the
six locations along Carlsbad Blvd., Tamarack, and La Costa Ave. because of the significant traffic and
development projects going on in these areas.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt responded that data will be collected at these
locations even though they are not subject to vehicle monitoring as these locations are subject to
multimodal LOS monitoring and will still require traffic counts to be collected at these locations.
Commissioner Linke suggested that for future GMP Monitoring Reports, staff should consider removing
exemptions based on a review of historical traffic data. The consequences of not removing exemptions
is that private development projects will not be required to fund future roadway improvements.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt responded that staff will take into consideration
Commissioner Linke’s comments on removing exemptions for future monitoring reports.
Transportation Director Frank added that staff will evaluate the appropriate process or criteria for
removing exemptions in future GMP Monitoring report.
Deputy City Manager Gomez added that City Council will be holding the city council’s goal setting
meetings next month and this will present an opportunity for feedback on how we can re-evaluate the
GMP Monitoring report program and how to address specific issues such as removing exemptions from
previously exempt roadway facilities.
5. ESTABLISH TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION SCHEDULE FOR 2021 – (Staff Contact:
Nathan Schmidt, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Provide guidance for establishing the Traffic and Mobility
Commission schedule for 2021 with recommended special meetings to be held in July and

CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER REPORT:
City Traffic Engineer Comments: Attachment A
City Traffic Engineer Kim asked Commissioner Wanamaker if his concerns about Jefferson Street were
addressed and clarified by a staff member.
Commissioner Wanamaker said that he received a call from the staff member and he planned on making
a video to show the concerns that he has about Jefferson Street but he did not have time to get the video
recordings for staff. He added that for overall safety would be better for staff to look at the vegetation
encroachment and the overgrown willow trees on the rising side of Jefferson Street.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that staff will investigate the areas of concern.
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Chair Gocan expressed her concern on the westbound Carlsbad Village Drive near Pio Pico with two signal
lights very close to each other and the visibility of the traffic signal light at the intersection of Carlsbad
Village Drive and I-5 intersection is obstructed by a tree.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that staff will investigate the visibility concerns at the intersection.
Commissioner Perez inquired when the Poinsettia Lane extension will open to traffic.
City Traffic Engineer Kim said that the latest he heard is that will open by the end of February.
Commissioner Perez inquired if the signal lights on Cassia Rd and Poinsettia Ln. is installed and operational.
Deputy City Manager Gomez answered the signal lights were installed but not operational yet.
Commissioner Perez explained that the signal lights (not operational yet) and the stop sign at Poinsettia
Ln. and Cassia Rd. is causing confusion to the drivers.
Deputy City Manager Gomez said that staff will look into it and get back to the commission
ADJOURNMENT:
Chair Gocan adjourned the Traffic and Mobility Commission Meeting on Jan. 4, 2021 at 4:35 p.m.
