Summary In July 2017, Caltrans awarded the City of Carlsbad an Active Transportation Program, or ATP, grant by Caltrans to construct a portion of the Coastal Rail Trail, or CRT, along Avenida Encinas between Carlsbad Boulevard and Cannon Road. Construction of this portion of the CRT has been identified as a high priority by the local and regional community. The CRT is a planned regional bikeway that includes a 44-mile regional bikeway that connects six coastal cities throughout San Diego County. On Dec. 7, 2021, with a recommendation from staff, the City Council authorized executing an agreement with NASLAND Engineering for engineering design and environmental services for the project. On April 4, 2022, the Traffic and Mobility Commission received a presentation and provided input on the preliminary design of the project. At the same meeting, the commission voted unanimously to support staff’s recommended bike lane classification, enhanced Class II bike lane, along Avenida Encinas Following the April 4, 2022, Traffic and Mobility Commission meeting, staff discovered additional comments submitted by the public relating to the project. To provide those additional comments to the Traffic and Mobility Commission, staff placed an item on the June 6, 2022, Regular Meeting Agenda for the Commission’s consideration. At the June 6, 2022, meeting, the Commission discussed the additional comments that had been received as well as comments received in person at the meeting. Following consideration of all the comments received staff were directed to return to the Traffic and Mobility Commission with the final improvement plans for Segment 2 of the Avenida Encinas Coastal Rail Trail and Pedestrian Improvements. Aug. 18, 2022 Item #1 1 Discussion Staff have received input from Traffic and Mobility Commission and the public on the preliminary design plans. Staff directed NASLAND Engineering to update the improvement plans and environmental documents for Segment 2 of the project. Segment 2 is located between Poinsettia Transit Station and Carlsbad Boulevard as shown in Exhibit 1. Improvements along the project corridor include the following features as identified in the improvement plans provided in Exhibit 2: • Striping modifications • Enhanced Class II bike lanes • Enhanced intersection treatments including curb extensions, traffic calming measures, and high visibility crosswalks at the following intersections on Avenida Encinas: o Poinsettia Lane o Portage Way o Dory Lane o Carlsbad Boulevard • Traffic calming with a road lane realignment between Poinsettia Lane and Windrose Circle that has been identified to reduce the level of service (LOS). • Enhanced midblock pedestrian crossing at San Carlos Street and Avenida Encinas As shown in the proposed improvements plans, provided in Exhibit 2, most of the roadway improvements will be implemented through roadway restriping. The roadway segment from Poinsettia Lane to Windrose Circle will be restriped from 5-vehicle lanes to 2-vehicle lanes. While traffic studies show the road lane realignment for this segment will result in a drop in Level of Service, from LOS C to LOS D, this segment will still operate at acceptable levels of service under the City’s General Plan Mobility Element. Consistent with Mobility Element 3- P.15, staff will therefore bring this item to the City Council with a recommendation to approve the road lane re-alignment. Next Steps Following the Traffic and Mobility Commission’s review, staff will finalize the construction plans for Segment 2 of the project and submit a construction allocation request to Caltrans for the ATP grant funding by Aug. 31, 2022. Thereafter, staff will bring a staff report to the City Council in late 2022 with a recommendation to approve the plans, specifications, and contract documents and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for construction bids for the project. After the bidding process is complete, the project will be brought back to the City Council with a request to award a construction contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The construction is targeted to begin in mid-2023. Exhibits 1. Project Location Map 2.
