Executive Summary Staff evaluated the intersection of Madison Street and Oak Avenue for all-way stop control with stop signs in response to requests from the community and as part of the city’s ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety. The evaluation followed the detailed guidelines provided by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Based on this analysis and upon the recommendation of the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission, staff recommend installation of all-way stop control with stop signs at Madison Street and Oak Avenue. The City Council’s approval is required because this action requires an ordinance amending the Carlsbad Municipal Code. Explanation & Analysis Current roadway conditions Madison Street and Oak Avenue are classified as Village Streets in the city’s General Plan Mobility Element, the part of the plan focused on transportation. The primary purpose of Village Streets is to move people throughout the Village and provide access to businesses, residences, transit and recreation within the Village area. Both streets have a posted speed limit of 25 mph. The land uses along both streets include both residential and commercial uses. The intersection currently has stop signs only on Oak Avenue, the smaller street. Nov. 7, 2023 Item #4 Page 1 of 11 ,CITY ,COUNCH. Staff Report The roadway width on Madison Street north of the intersection is 60 feet from curb to curb, which accommodates a single travel lane, a bike lane and a parking lane in the northbound direction, as well as a single travel lane with shared-lane pavement markings and marked angle parking in the southbound direction. To the south of the intersection, the width of the roadway is 48 feet and accommodates a single travel lane, a bike lane and a parking lane in each direction. Oak Avenue has a roadway width of 48 feet and accommodates a single travel lane and on-street parking in each direction. Residents have expressed concerns about navigating this intersection from Oak Avenue because of limited sight distance and have requested stop signs in all directions. Staff who work at the nearby Public Works yard, at 405 Oak Avenue, use this intersection on a daily basis and have also expressed concerns about this intersection due to the limited sight distance available. Multiway stop analysis In response to these requests, the city contracted with STC Traffic, a traffic engineering firm, to conduct a multiway stop analyses at 20 locations within city limits, following the guidelines found in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. A multiway stop analysis considers vehicular, pedestrian and bike volumes, as well as other factors such as sight distance, movement conflicts and traffic operations to determine if a multiway stop control is justified at a particular intersection. While the intersection does not meet the manual’s four main criteria for multi-way stop control, as detailed in the worksheet provided as Exhibit 2, California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the manual includes optional criteria that can also be considered. The optional criteria are: A. The need to control left-turn conflicts B. The need to control vehicle/pedestrian conflicts near locations that generate high pedestrian volumes C. Locations where a road user after stopping cannot see conflicting traffic and is not able to negotiate the intersection unless conflicting cross-traffic is also required to stop D. An intersection of two residential neighborhood collectors, or through, streets of similar design and operating characteristics where an all-way stop control would improve the traffic operational characteristics of the intersection Staff reviewed STC Traffic's finding that the optional criteria for the subject intersection was satisfied under Option C because road users cannot see conflicting cross-traffic when stopped. The table below shows the minimum site distance required by the California Highway Design Manual for roadways with speed limit of 25 mph limits and the intersection sight distance that is actually available at the intersection. Nov. 7, 2023 Item #4 Page 2 of 11 Intersection sight distances on Madison Street and Oak Avenue Minor street approach Left turn Right turn Minimum sight distance Available sight distance Meest requirement? Minimum sight distance Available sight distance Meest requirement? Oak Ave (eastbound) 280 ft 235 ft no 240 ft 152 ft no Oak Ave (westbound) 280 ft 430 ft yes 240 ft 245 ft yes The pictures below show the line of sight from eastbound Oak Avenue onto Madison Street. The available sight distance on Oak Avenue traveling eastbound did not meet the minimum sight distance requirements because of to the existing angled parking on the west side of Madison Street, north of the intersection, and the parallel parking lane south of the intersection. Line of sight on Eastbound Oak Avenue to Madison Street To provide the minimum sight distance for eastbound traffic on Oak Avenue, eight parking spaces on Madison Street, which include six angle parking stalls north of the intersection and two parallel parking spaces south of the intersection, would need to be removed. With the increasing demand for parking in the Village and Barrio communities, staff do not support removal of on-street parking at this location. Traffic & Mobility Commission recommendation On Sept. 5, 2023, the Traffic and Mobility Commission supported staff’s recommendation to install an all-way stop control at Madison Street and Oak Avenue with a vote of 3/1/3, with Commissioners Kohl, Proulx and Garcia absent. The approved minutes from this meeting are attached as Exhibit 3. Options Based on STC Traffic findings, and subject to staff review, which are consistent with the recommendation found in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and upon the recommendation of the Traffic and Mobility Commission, staff recommend installing an all- way stop control at Madison Street and Oak Avenue. Eastbound Oak Avenue looking north on Madison Street Eastbound Oak Avenue looking south on Madison Street Nov. 7, 2023 Item #4 Page 3 of 11 This would address community concerns about the intersection and would improve traffic safety in the area without removing parking spaces. Staff have identified no drawbacks to having stop signs in all directions at this intersection. Fiscal Analysis Installation of two new stop signs, four new “All-Way” plaques and associated striping will cost approximately $2,500. Sufficient funds are available in the Traffic Engineering Operating Budget to install the proposed signage and striping. Next Steps Following the City Council’s introduction of the ordinance, it will be scheduled at the City Council’s next meeting for adoption. The ordinance will then become effective 30 days following adoption. After the ordinance goes into effect, staff will issue a work order to install the appropriate signage and striping at Madison Street and Oak Avenue. Environmental Evaluation The City Planner has determined that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Guidelines Section 15301(c), which applies to the minor alteration of existing facilities, including streets, sidewalks, gutters and similar facilities involving negligible or no expansion.

They are based on my study of bicycle related crashes in Oceanside and Carlsbad over nearly two decades, my experience as motorist and bicyclist for more than 60 years and my 6 years of prior experience on the Oceanside Transportation Commission and co- founder/past co-chairman of the Oceanside Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee. I voted against this proposal as a Traffic and Mobility Commissioner at the September meeting but did not articulate my reasons clearly and cannot do that here without allowing staff to challenge them. The following highlighted and emphasized wording is directly from the Agenda Item followed by my suggestions for your consideration. The Executive Summary for the all-way stop states: "Staff evaluated the intersection of Madison Street and Oak Avenue for all-way stop control with stop signs in response to requests from the community and as part of the city's ongoing efforts to improve traffic safety." Yet during the September Traffic and Mobility Commission Meeting staff reported: "Criteria B allows for consideration of a multi-way stop when there have been five or more reported collisions within a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop. A review of the collision history between January 2018 and November 2022 revealed no reported collisions at the intersection of Madison Street and Oak Avenue. Therefore, Criteria B was not satisfied." 1 Suggested Question: Since there were ZERO collisions for the previous 5 years, how can traffic safety be improved by installation of these stop signs? Suggested Actions: 1. Ask staff for alternatives to the stop signs that do not require revision of the Municipal Code. 2. Decide that this proposal should not move forward at this time.

We would encourage approval of this. My husband's orthodontic office is on one of those corners, 740 Oak Ave, and he, his patients, and many who live and work or use services in the area have probably had similar experiences of concern regarding the current 2-way stop situation on that corner.· Often people who don't have a stop in their direction seem to think they do, and stop unexpectedly, creating a hazard for any cars behind. Or in opposite situations, cars travel at faster speeds than seem safe going that same direction without a stop sign. Plus, some of those corners are hard to see around, to know if someone is coming. And now we feel extra cautious, because two years ago my husband was broadsided by an uninsured speeding driver, under the influence, in a stolen truck, who ran the stop sign at that intersection. My husband was driving safely and with appropriate caution, but could have no way to anticipate someone running the stop sign. That said, he has also seen and heard evidence of plenty other near- misses during his 25 years at that location, and we endorse making that intersection a 4-way stop. Thank you for your time and consideration--and for your service to the city.
