Rescind the motion from the May 2, 2022, regularly scheduled Traffic and Mobility Commission to provide staff input regarding the North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan. 2. Reconsideration of input provided to staff regarding the North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan Executive Summary Staff will present and discuss the North County Multimodal Corridor Plan, or North County CMCP. Discussion The North County CMCP is a strategic blueprint for identifying and implementing multimodal projects and services within North County communities along State Route 78 including the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido. The CMCP is intended to align local general plans and planning initiatives with state and regional goals as identified in SANDAG’s Regional Plan into projects and services for the North County communities. Major transportation facilities included in the study area are the SPRINTER light rail between the Oceanside and Escondido transit centers, major local arterials like Palomar Airport Road that connect community developments and job centers to major transportation facilities, State Route 78 between I-5 and I-15, western portions of State Route 76, and the Inland Rail Trail bike path between Oceanside and Escondido. Existing Conditions The transportation system in North County influences individuals and families on where to live, work, shop, go to school, recreate outdoors, and move around safely within a community. North County’s rapid growth over the last 20 years has strained the existing transportation system. The demand and mobility needs are either misaligned with existing transportation June 6, 2022 Item #4 Page 1 of 11 services or have outpaced the supply (transportation capacity) available making North County travelers experience congestion, delay, inconsistent travel times, and safety risks. Based on population growth forecast determined by SANDAG, North County has and will continue to experience growth. By 2050, 52,000 more people and 115,000 new jobs are projected- an increase of 8% and 45% respectively. Growth in the number of people living and working in North County presents both opportunities and challenges for the transportation network. Proposed Draft Project Recommendations: The North County CMCP project team aims to define how the corridor is currently performing, examine why it is performing this way, and estimate for future use based on the complex geographic, demographic, economic, and social characteristics of the corridor area. With this analysis, the project team will recommend projects and strategies that integrate Managed Lanes facilities, transit services, active transportation, operational improvements, and technology to better manage traffic demand and increase future travel choices throughout the North County CMCP planning area. The I-15/SR 78 Managed Lanes Direct Connectors project is an example of a project that integrates multimodal strategies and will be incorporated and evaluated as part of the North County CMCP planning study. The project team has identified a network of “Mobility Boulevards” which include improvements to major arterials that connect communities to mobility hubs and regional transportation corridors. For the Traffic & Mobility Commission review, staff has included the draft Mobility Boulevard plan sheets as Exhibit 2. Staff is seeking feedback on the proposed June 6, 2022 Item #4 Page 2 of 11 high-level recommendations for the Mobility Boulevards in Carlsbad including El Camino Real, College Boulevard, and Palomar Airport Road. Additional Project Information: The North County CMCP virtual engagement site to learn more about the project and submit comments can be found at the following webpage: https://sandag.mysocialpinpoint.com/northcounty Questions and comments are encouraged at the end of a staff’s presentation. Brown Act Curative Action The Traffic and Mobility Commission recently met at a regularly scheduled meeting on May 2, 2022. Six commissioners were physically present in the City Council Chambers and one commissioner attended the meeting telephonically. Due to staff miscommunication, the telephonic attendance was not properly noticed on the commission’s agenda under the Brown Act teleconferencing requirements set forth in Government Code section 54953. This item is therefore being reconsidered to cure the defects that flowed from the commission’s May 2nd agenda. Fiscal Analysis This item is a presentation on the work related to management of the city’s transportation assets and, as such, there is no financial impact related to this item. Next Steps Staff will continue implementing their programs to maintain and improve mobility within the City including working with the Traffic and Mobility Commission to update the annual workplan in the summer of 2022. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, receiving a presentation on the work of the Public Works Branch, Transportation Department does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Public Notification This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. Exhibits 1. North County CMCP Project Summary 2. North County CMCP: Mobility Boulevard Recommendations for El Camino Real, College Boulevard, and Palomar Airport Road June 6, 2022 Item #4 Page 3 of 11 sandag.org/CMCP Major transportation facilities within the North County corridor include the SPRINTER light rail between the Oceanside and Escondido transit centers, major local arterials like Palomar Airport Road that connect community members and job centers to major transportation facilities, State Route 78 (SR 78) between Interstate 5 (I-5) and Interstate 15 (I-15), western portions of State Route 76 (SR 76), and the Inland Rail Trail bike path between Oceanside and Escondido. The North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan (CMCP) will identify integrated transportation solutions that enhance the way people travel throughout North County. These solutions will be tailored to North County travel needs and connect the five vibrant cities and unique parts of unincorporated areas of the County. By integrating services, modes, and technology, the North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan will support a safer and more seamless trip that improves the experience and reduces the overall amount of time that people spend traveling. The North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan will also provide flexibility by building foundation of transportation solutions that can adapt to changing technology and the ever-evolving future. The North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan is anticipated to be finalized in summer 2022. PROJECT OVERVIEW The North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan will create a comprehensive set of safe, sustainable, and equitable transportation solutions that are tailored to the needs of North County users, promote community vitality, and improve quality of life for all. The primary goals of the North County Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan are to: •Create People-Based Transportation Solutions - Improve the traveler experience by providing tailored transportation choices that connect, and meet the needs of the community •Build a Seamless System that Works Better for All - Design solutions that ensure equitable, affordable, and convenient access to jobs, housing and education and supports a thriving economic subregion and growing destination •Build a Foundation for the Future - Supports shifting toward cleaner, transformative transportation solutions that build a foundation for future possibilities OBJECTIVES SANDAG and Caltrans are developing Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plans in coordination with agency partners and local city governments. Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plans are holistic, data-driven plans that will evaluate existing corridor facilities and assess both current and anticipated future travel demands and conditions in a given study area to provide expanded travel choices for residents, commuters, visitors, and goods movement. Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plans provide the implementation blueprint on a sub-regional level for projects, programs and policies being developed as part of the 2021 Regional Plan and California Transportation Plan (CTP) 2050. Developing Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plans for each of the region’s critical transportation corridors will help make the San Diego region more competitive in the pursuit of local, state, and federal project funding.
