Subject: Tyler Street Complete Streets Plan
Recommended Action
Support staff’s recommendation to the City Council to proceed with improvements for the Tyler
Street Complete Streets Plan Option 1.
Background
The City of Carlsbad is working on making streets inviting for everyone, whether driving, walking or
biking. Known as “complete streets,” this approach recognizes the street as a public space that can
be safe and inviting for all the ways people might want to get around.
One of those streets where complete street improvements are being proposed is Tyler Street
between Oak Avenue and Chestnut Avenue. Tyler Street is a north-south roadway between the
Village and Barrio.
The Village and Barrio Master Plan, which the City Council adopted on July 10, 2018, highlights a
number a street design projects including Tyler Street.
In April 2022, the City Council requested the acceleration of several projects identified within the
Village and Barrio Master Plan, including the Tyler Street Traffic Circulation Study; herein referred to
as Tyler Street Complete Streets Study. Exhibit 1 contains the minutes from the April 26, 2022 City
Council meeting.
The Village and Barrio Master Plan list this project as a key recommendation in the Barrio
neighborhood (Section 1.6.2.B) and is discussed in further detail in Chapter 4 Section 1. The master
plan also states a Tyler Street streetscape and traffic direction analysis be conducted in the mid-term
timeframe, which is within two to three years. The relevant excerpts from the Village and Barrio
Master Plan are provided in Exhibit 2.
In May 2023, staff began an outreach effort to understand the community’s needs, values and
priorities for this project and get feedback about potential designs outlined in the Village and Barrio
Master Plan. In June 2023, staff brought the project to the Traffic & Mobility Commission to solicit
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 1 of 120
feedback.
Since then, staff has completed additional analysis, which has narrowed down the options and this
report highlights the proposed improvements.
Discussion
Existing Conditions
Tyler Street is located just east of the railroad tracks and the Coastal Rail Trail and runs from Oak
Avenue to Chestnut Avenue. It is classified as a local street within the City of Carlsbad’s Mobility
Element. In its current configuration, the street has one travel lane in each direction and parking on
the east side with no bicycle facilities. There is currently a sidewalk that runs the entire length on the
east side and a short section of sidewalk on the west side between Walnut Avenue and Chestnut
Avenue.
Tyler Street has several different land uses that front the street. This includes a mix of residential
uses; single family homes, multifamily homes, and a senior living facility. It also includes several
industrial businesses, like auto repair shops, tow truck companies, warehouses, a storage facility and
a number more. As well, at the north end of Tyler Street, the Boys and Girls Club of Carlsbad has a
facility.
Traffic data was collected along Tyler Street and surrounding roadways in December 2022 while
school was in session, to better understand how the street is currently being used. The data
collection included number of vehicles, trucks, bikes and pedestrians. Exhibit 3 includes figures
containing the volumes along Tyler Street and the surrounding streets. Tyler Street was shown to
have less than 800 daily vehicles. Given the number of industrial businesses, Tyler Street was shown
to have a higher percentage of trucks than most local streets, with the highest being approximately
150 trucks or 19% of total traffic between Oak Avenue and Pine Avenue. Multimodal counts showed
approximately 170 pedestrians and 25 bicycles were counted on Tyler Street throughout the entire
day.
Initial Public Outreach
In May of 2023, staff began outreach efforts to better understand the community’s needs, values and
priorities for this project. This outreach effort included the following:
• A community meeting, held on May 17, 2023, at the Harding Community Center
• An online survey
• Direct contact with the project manager
• Door-to-door visits and meetings with residents, property owners and businesses
• Door-to-door Spanish language outreach
Exhibit 4 of this report contains the detailed input that was received during this outreach process. As
a part of this outreach effort, staff used the initially proposed concepts from the Village and Barrio
Master Plan to help facilitate discussion. Some of the general themes included:
• Improving walkability
• Maintaining access to local businesses
• Maintain parking capacity
• Make the street safe for all modes of travel
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 2 of 120
Refined Design Options
With the public feedback received to this point, the project team took a more in depth look into the
feasibility of the initial recommendations from the Village and Barrio Master Plan. Combining these
two efforts, staff concluded that certain aspects of the previous options needed to be refined. These
are summarized below:
• A shared space alternative adding decorative pavers and bringing the roadway down to one
continuous level – Residents expressed concerns with feeling safe walking along Tyler Street
without having a physical separation of curbs between them and vehicles. It was also noted
that pavers may make it difficult for residents with walkers and wheelchairs walking. After
further review of this concept, it was also noted that the removal of the curb and gutter may
cause drainage issues.
• Conversion of Tyler Street to a one-way vehicular traffic only – When presented to businesses
along Tyler Street, several businesses had concerns that this may impact their access,
especially for their larger trucks. There were also concerns that this may have adverse effects
on the emergency response times on Tyler Street. Due to these concerns, the one-way
vehicular traffic option was removed from the proposed concepts.
• Addition of bike lanes – Through the community outreach process, it was noted that there
was a general preference against adding bike lanes on Tyler Street given the low vehicular
volume of the roadway. Additionally, existing bike lanes on Roosevelt Street and the
separated shared use path along the Coastal Rail Trail directly adjacent to Tyler Street already
provide adequate cycling infrastructure. As such, the addition of bike lanes was removed from
the proposed concepts.
• Relocating parallel parking to the west side of Tyler Street – Several businesses expressed
concerns with relocating parallel parking to the west side of Tyler Street, particularly
regarding access for larger trucks. Additionally, since most of the residential density is on the
east side, it was determined that maintaining parking on the east side would better service
residents. Therefore, the proposed concepts maintain parking on the east side.
Proposed Project Options
Based on the public outreach and analysis conducted during the initial phase of this project, below is
a summary of the proposed options for this project. Exhibit 5 shows an overview of the proposed
conceptual plans.
General improvements that are consistent for all options:
• Curb extensions and addition of crosswalk markings along Tyler Street at the intersections of
Chestnut Avenue, Walnut Avenue, Pine Avenue and Oak Avenue. Curb extensions help to
physically narrow the roadway, slow vehicles making turns at the intersections, create a
shorter distance for pedestrians to cross and increase the visibility of pedestrians prior to
crossing. Construction of curb extensions may impact 1-2 parking spaces, which will be
further determined during the detailed design phase. Additionally, staff has conducted
turning movement template analysis at each intersection to ensure that fire trucks can
successfully make turns at these intersections.
• Sharrows along Tyler Street. Sharrows help to signal to drivers to share the travel lane with
bicyclists. They provide positioning guidance for cyclists, alert drivers to the presence of
cyclists, and contribute to traffic calming.
• The project proposes reconstructing sections of the east side sidewalk at all driveways on
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 3 of 120
Tyler Street to achieve ADA1 compliance. These improvements will create a smoother walking
surface, eliminating the frequent and abrupt drops in the sidewalk that currently exist today.
To accommodate these changes, some of the private property driveways may need to be
reconstructed to match the elevation changes, which will be determined during the detailed
design phase.
Option 1: Complete Streets Improvements with Partial Sidewalk Extension on the West Side
In addition to the general improvements summarized above, Option 1 proposes to extend the
existing sidewalk on the west side slightly further north to Walnut Avenue. This option also proposes
to add a crosswalk across Tyler Street where the sidewalk would end at Walnut Avenue to connect
pedestrians to the eastern sidewalk that runs the full length of Tyler Street. The crosswalk would be
combined with an additional curb extension on the east side of Tyler Street.
Option 2: Complete Streets Improvements with Full Sidewalk Extension on the West Side
Option 2 proposes extending the sidewalk along the entire length of Tyler Street on the west side in
addition to the proposed complete streets improvements as identified above. This extension may
require the sidewalk to encroach onto private property to avoid relocating large utilities and
removing trees. as properties on the west side of Tyler Street are redeveloped, the city will request
that these projects provide fully ADA-compliant sidewalks along their frontage. Option 2 will require
significant costs due to potential utility relocations and right of way acquisition so it could be
considered as a long term solution that builds upon Option 1 to further enhance pedestrian access
and connectivity on Tyler Street.
Community Outreach
Prior to the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission meeting, staff conducted community outreach to
gather feedback on the proposed conceptual design options. These efforts included:
• Letters sent out to residents, property owners and businesses along Tyler Street on June 10,
2024.
• Direct contact with the project manager
• Door-to-door visits and meetings with residents, property owners and businesses
• Spanish language outreach as needed
Next Steps
Upon receiving input from the public and the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission, staff will present
the proposed concepts to the City Council. The City Council will review the feedback and
recommendations from the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission and select an option for staff to
proceed with the development of the final design plans.

Tyler Street public input report
August 2023 3
Reconfiguring city streets so people can get around Carlsbad as easily and safely as possible is
one of the key priorities in the City of Carlsbad’s General Plan. The General Plan calls for street
designs that encourage slower speeds while making walking and biking more inviting. This
approach to street design, called “complete streets,” is a best practice for cities today and
required by a state law passed in 2008.
Through Carlsbad’s active transportation strategy, the city is working to update and design
roads that encourage drivers to slow down, enhance safety for people who bike and walk, and
improve overall access and connectivity to trails. These modernized roadways are often called
“complete streets.”
Tyler Street, located in the city’s historic Village and Barrio community, is one of the locations
where these improvements are planned for. The project area includes Tyler Street from Oak
Avenue to Chestnut Avenue, where there are single and multi-family homes and a variety of
businesses. Currently only one side of the street accommodates parking and a continuous
sidewalk. One street to the west is the Coastal Rail Trail, a separated trail just for biking and
walking.
Concepts for the area were first developed from community input as part of the Village and
Barrio Master Plan, which the City Council approved in 2019. The master plan establishes the
vision for the ideal future character and development of the two areas and sets forth the
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 19 of 120
Tyler Street public input report
August 2023 4
strategy or “roadmap” for achieving that vision. This plan has been developed in consultation
with the Carlsbad community through an iterative process that began in 2013.
Community input from the Village and Barrio Master Plan, paired with the development of the
active transportation strategy and the General Plan Mobility Element, are reflected in initial
concepts. The policies in all these documents reflect the high value the Carlsbad community
places on safety, healthy outdoor activities and the environment.
During the City Council’s Capital Improvement Projects planning for fiscal year 2022-2023, Tyler
Street was identified as a high priority project.
Design criteria
• Plans must reflect the policy direction already approved by the City Council in various
planning documents, and state traffic safety standards and traffic laws.
• Designs must meet the needs of first responders and other emergency response.
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 20 of 120

To ensure the street’s design reflect community needs, values and priorities, the city developed
a community engagement approach for input:
Phase 1: Community needs, values and priorities 2013-2014
The first phase of input occurred through the development of the Village and Barrio
Master Plan, where needs, values and priorities were identified to develop three initial
designs.
Phase 2: Feedback on proposed options May – July 2023
Further define the Village and Barrio guidelines for Tyler Street, get feedback about the
three proposed designs.
Phase 3: Refined options and review of 20% design Summer 2024
The project team will share updated designs with the community and based on
additional input, recommend one preferred design to bring to final design and approval
from the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission and the City Council
Goal
• The final project reflects the needs, values and priorities of the community.
Objectives
• Provide an accessible process that reaches out to and hears from a broad cross section
of those interested in and affected by this issue.
• Design activities to gather a balance of perspectives, to support informed decision-
making.
• Clearly communicate the public engagement process so people know how their input
will be used and what decisions are already made.
• Build relationships and connections between community members and the city.

About the input
The International Association of Public Participation’s spectrum of public participation
illustrates a variety of approaches to involving the public in decision making. The Tyler Street
input process falls in the “consult” level – obtain input on the analysis, options or decisions that
have already been made.

Qualitative input with a convenience sample
The input in this report is qualitative in nature and was obtained through a convenience
sample. This means the city focused on gaining an in-depth understanding of community
member perspectives, and the results cannot be generalized to the entire population of the city
within a defined margin of error.
That’s why the input in this report should be considered with a similar weight as other forms of
feedback that have always been part of the city’s decision-making process, such as comments

Verbatim Comments from Tyler Street Survey
What's most important to you as the city considers changes to Tyler
Street?
Better/safer options for pedestrians More biz/people coming in, make it
appealing Bicycle Blvd/ Dropping train tracks – how will it look?
Electrical posts are on the way Sidewalks are inconsistent None of
these options are divided from traffic lanes Something similar to North
of roundabout Oceanside City needs to focus on prevention other than
enforcement Having only one way in the village can be confusing
Demographics on Tyler Streets Needs to be safe to walk. Keep
peope/traffic separate Current map of Tyler St. Is misleading
Cars drop off at auto One way into Village because going south you have
Roosevelt option Bike path provides bike lanes so people can use those
instead Concern about bike lanes in both directions Move parking to
west side of the street No parking on residential side Driveway a
concern Walnut and Pine enter only from east side ---> Consider this
Dangerous walking because most ingress comes from east Sidewalks on
both sides maybe ok Walkways improved + better pedestrian traffic
Mini storage facility creates most of traffic Concerned about what city is
trying to accomplish by exploring these changes Agree bike lanes with
traffic, sidewalks, etc. are too much Lot of foot traffic some people even
walk down center of road Want it to be safe to pull out of driveways
Nice sidewalks would be great Want the street to look nice Parking is
#1 safety issue because having to (space) - solve by moving parking to
west to switch and change road will be tough
Sidewalks: all in favor of addition of sidewalks on both sides for the senior
community population which lives on the street Parking: both sides to
accommodate tourists, residents in apartment complex, and active loading
zone for businesses and residents Loading zone and one/two-way street:
Majority of group (who were residents) supports a sharrow as opposed to
split lanes for biking; residents in favor of one-way sharrow. Business
owner and property manager in favor of two-way and must include
loading zone for businesses and complex
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 42 of 120

Fix stop sign at Roosevelt and Madison Keep accessibility to school /
Boys & Girls Club This is an arterial road used for industrial zone access
Consider access to heavy equipment 65ft long cargo trucks for Budda T –
Walnut Create a pick of/drop off area for senior living facility Make
the sidewalks accessible
Preference on prioritizing pedestrian safety Providing consistency along
the street, making it look nicer Take into account growth along Tyler
street Poor traffic control at Chestnut and Oak Avenue where Tyler
Street intersects
What are the costs associated with the three options? What is the
maintenance/longevity of the materials used? (pavers, concrete, etc.)
Sufficient pedestrian walkway width with no overhead power lines where
birds crap on you as is prevalent in Carlsbad and dedicated bike path
Being able to drive both ways on Tyler Street. Having visibility when
leaving businesses, so that this visibility is not blocked or reduced by cars
parallel parked on Tyler Street.
Probably maintaining 2-way vehicle traffic.
SIDEWALKS. MANY PEDESTRIANS ON TYLER ST
Maintain or increase parking spaces as much as possible. 97% of people
drive cars, not bikes. I would never ride a bike at my age in Carlsbad. The
limited public transit is too dirty, dangerous, and inconvenient, and
without parking, you make the beach inaccessible to most residents. This is
not equitable and inclusive for ALL citizens. Let's be realistic and fair.
For me, it is important that there is a graded separation between the
vehicles and pedestrians, ideally some sort of physical buffer between the
bikers and the vehicles as well. Curbing create a greater sense of safety
and security for our most vulnerable travelers (bike & ped)
Tyler Street is the gateway between the Barrio and the rail road tracks
once buried. Tyler Street is an important alternative to Roosevelt Street
and provides options for vehicular redundancy incase one or multiple
streets are blocked for emergency vehicles. Please consider Tyler Street for
safe street design with two sides of pedestrian and bicycle paths while
separating cars.
Sidewalks on both sides of street. Safe bike lane.
Safety, of course, as well as improvements that are aesthetically pleasing
and function well for the immediate neighborhood.

I live on Tyler St. and believe it should not be changed. This is a huge
waste of taxpayer money. All of the proposals are stupid. Over half of the
street are business properties. There are NO traffic issues on Tyler St.
There is a lovely, easily accessed, bike path next to the train line, on the
'OTHER SIDE of the block, running parallel to Tyler St. for bike and walking.
Is the city official orchestrating this action looking for votes, or a talking
point for the next election ?
Keeping traffic two ways.
Less children on bicycles in main traffic lanes.
Sidewalks
There is no need to waste money changing this short block parallel to rail
trail. I attended a community meeting and NO ONE at our table - including
senior citizens living on the street - wanted any of the 3 choices
what the people who live in the neighborhood want.
Wide sidewalk on east side, reduced crosswalks and traffic calming, speed
management on the speed to ave 15 to 20 mph speed range.
Walkability and adequate facilities for people of all ages and abilities to
walk comfortably.
Pedestrian safety. Accomodate vehicles bikes and parking
Safety and multi modal travel way
Do something, anything. Sidewalks on both sides would be ideal. If
possible take down the military/boarder style fencing at tea factory…
Making the changes aesthetically pleasing.
1. Parking 2. 2 way traffic 3. walking 4. Bike share road
Tyler street is a tiny stretch of roadway with minimal ADTs. It also runs
parallel to the train path, which continues long past Tyler's southern
terminus. I'd much rather see prioritization along Chestnut intersections,
especially at 2-way stops.
1
Maintaining beauty and function
the ability for walkers to cross the street safely. No car and bike shared
space. Each should have their own lane
reducing vehicular traffic
Safety of the pedestrians and bicyclists.
Do not remove curbs in Option 1
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 44 of 120

Tyler Street public input report appendices
Maintaining support for continuous walking and two-way vehicular traffic
with parking to support commercial/residential activity. Bury the power
lines.
Safety and walkability
Safety of Children going to Boys and Girls either by Car, Bike or walking.
Protected bike lanes
Pedestrian safety
Parking and controlling speed of cars. Clearly defined Cross Walk to get
to/from, Girls and Boys Club.
Parking! The city has done a terrible time managing parking by removing
parking to increase curbside dining and increasing High Density housing in
the village.
Safe space to walk
Walkability and increased density
Why Tyler Street? Why all these "improvements" on this stret?
Having a two way street with sidewalks
Considering all kinds of traffic in planning, vehicle, on foot and bicycle so I
appreciate all the work that is being put into this porject.
This has been an alley, not a street. I have great concerns this will be used
as a cut through for bicycles impeding the businesses who rely on this
street accessing their business. I have great concerns for the safe pick up
and drop off for children accessing the anita and Girls club. I therefore
don’t want any changes to Tyler. It is not broke so doesn’t try to fix
something that doesn’t need fixing!. It would be loss for the community
I am often frustrated by one way streets. Preserving street parking is also
important to me. I think a safe sidewalk with two way traffic and shared
bike/car lane for that short stretch of street would be great.
Ease of vehicular traffic, safety for pedestrians and bicyclists (traffic
calming), preservation of trees and plantings.
Two way traffic and parking
Option 1- shared space
I like option #1 best
Simplicity.
Practical, functional and safe for all.
Wide smooth streets. Safe for kids on bikes and for kids walking.
Convenience for the businesses and residents.

Controlling the speed....put in speed humps throughout the Barrio!
Safety Beautification
Generally, for ALL residential streets n Carlsbad; traffic calming, tree
preservation, adequate parking for residents and visitors, safety for
pedestrians and NON MOTORIZED bicyclists. Two wheeled vehicles
powered by either ICE engines OR electric motors behave like AND
SHOULD BE TREATED AS motor vehicles!
1.) Safety, 2.) city spending, 3.) inconvenience to Tyler St residents during
changes (I have a 4dy/wk medical schedule, and don’t want to have to
park blocks away from the house during changes).
What is important to me is that everyone, regardless of mode of
transportation, travels safely.
Option 1
Walkability
Cost effective, multi-modal safety.
not make so many options (spaces for different modes of travel) that it
gets too complicated
Safety and traffic flow
Cities have a tendency to make well intended attractive improvements
that damage local businesses particularly in the area of parking. The local
businesses in that area must concur and endorse any improvements.
What is the problem you’re trying solve? What problems does a solution
cause?
safety, flexibility,
Option 1
Parking on both sides
Appearance. I would appreciate any area near the downtown village to be
decorative.
Bikability and walkability. The survey didn't ask, but option 2 seems to be
the best.
Safe to walk down the street
Safety for all and encouraging alternate modes of transit
lighting and sidewalks
Make the street more walkable. Though I'm an avid cyclist and big
supporter of cycle paths, etc., this street is too short for a useful bike path.
There is already an excellent bike trail nearby. As Pete P. mentioned in the

meeting, bike path's should be put in locations where necessary; not
everywhere. Too much $. Keep it simple.
Parking is definitely important - there is already not enough parking!
Access to local businesses.
Safe biking
Maintaining space for parking and vehicles - these are things that we
cannot lose in the village going forward.
I believe that this project is a back door improvement scheme to increase
Matt Hall's property values in his rental properties along that Tyler Street.
The millions the City is considering spending on this byway could be better
spent in the main barrio.
Walkable
Maintain 2 way traffic.
Safety Of children visiting Boy's and Girl's Club
pedestrian-friendly. safe to walk on the street, ideally on both sides.
First do no harm, would rather you just leave it as is.
Sidewalks and parking. Seriously, until the city FINALLY builds a parking
structure like you promised to do in the City lot by the railroad tracks, you
can't take away street parking! Local vendors and restaurants NEED local
customers. In addition, some people are too old or are unable to ride
bikes, they don't want to ride their bikes to go out to dinner or carry their
packages after shopping, not everyone in their group rides a bike, etc.
Just because you can do something or you get more money to do
something or SANDAG says you should do something or it fits a narrative
doesn't mean you should.

Like it in theory because it is pedestrian friendly
Bikes both ways Easier for those mobility challenges w/flat street If concept
is for bikes, make it good Looks pretty
SIDEWALK INCLUSION: sidewalk requested as a requirement for senior
population/complex that is built on this street SHARROW: likes sharrow and
shared street to create either 1) bigger sidewalks and/or 2) parking spaces
TWO-WAY: likes two-way; group split on one-way or two-way
The pavers/color would look nice Generally fine with the idea of bikes sharing
the travel lanes with vehicles
The pavers look like they would add curb appeal to downtown Carlsbad.
Pedestrians ability to walk on both sides.
Sidewalk on both sides of street and no overhead power lines over sidewalks
Being able to drive both ways on Tyler Street. Having a sidewalk.
Maintaining 2-way vehicle traffic.
Nothing. Street is too narrow now with two way traffic. An oncoming vehicle
has to wait for another vehicle. Not enough room for traffic ib two directions
I like the idea of a decorative paving in the area to add aesthetics to the
boulevard.
Sidewalks on both sides.
Sidewalks on both sides of street.
Appreciate maintaining sidewalks on both sides and parking.

do not like shared space at all. less safe to be next to bikers, and difficult

It's good except that you need to leave the curbs. This is the best option.
Dedicated lane space for vehicles and bicycles.
Better curbing. Option 1 or 3 would work
Sidewalks on both sides of the street
The space for bikes and pedestrian and the shading. European like space
There should be a sidewalk on both sides and bikes don’t need a dedicated lane.
It’s not the coast highway.
Sidewalks on both sides of street
Distinkt place for bikes.
Tyler needs parking! Sidewalks on both sides. Shared space for bikes and cars.
No safe or Bicycling
Most flexibility for all parties and improvement over existing state
Sidewalks on both sides
Maintain norm
Not necessary - why this street? Why not "improve" all the streets in the barrio?
Everyone is accommodated.
decorative paving
I like the two-way traffic and preserved parking.
Of the three, I prefer option 1. It makes the most sense. Tyler is not a through
street, nor is it a busy street. The mix of businesses and residences doesn't need
bike lanes since the coastal rail trail is just feet away. I really like the idea of
decorative paving, especially if it can be harmonized with plantings and trees.
The street stays a two lane road.

Very pretty
Option one does not sound feasible. The road is not wide enough.
Two way traffic
Add sidewalks on both sides of street.
Shared space for bikes and cars (works so well, especially for slower streets, and
keeps speeds down too; also I find that trying to have bikes in single lanes
doesn't work regardless -- they tend to ride next to each other anyway when in
a group); I am not sure what decorative paving is... but it sounds great - love it :)

Wider sidewalks so people can walk side by side and push baby carriages and

What concerns you about option 1?
What concerns you about option 1?
Not realistic. Couldn’t fit my cars. Not enough space – not functional
without taking property This image isn’t a real size street Sidewalk
shouldn’t be @ the same level When people park they will encroach on the
sidewalk Seen it work in Europe. Inconsistent w/Carlsbad Ebikes are a
problem too
Concerns with drainage Not enough space for everything Safety issues
Likes flat surface but concerned about drainage What prevents parking if all
level? Confusing
SIDEWALK DESIGN MATERIAL: Brick lay for sidewalk is unfriendly to population
that uses travel devices such as strollers, canes, assistance devices REPAIR:
Pavements at risk of loosening up needing constant repair similar to bricks
that pop up in the village PARKING: missing parking; participants request
requirement of dedicated parking space on AT LEAST one side LOADING:
request active loading zone dedicated space in front of senior apartment
complex Why isn’t there parking? The parking is a serious issue at the
apartment complex; many residents currently park illegally or block loading
zone
Pavers may be possibly dangerous for seniors with walkers Concerns
regarding no separation of pedestrians/vehicles Is this option feasible with all
the driveways?
What is the cost compared to the other two options? Will pavers be cost
effective for long-term management.
Shared bike/car lanes. Just not safe for bikes due to prevalent drivers in a
hurry in the Barrio
Not having curbs to protect pedestrians on the sidewalks from cars.
Tyler St. seems to narrow to accommodate all of this and be safe.
No sidewalks. Two way traffic. Cars will drive on colored pavement
Too many lanes. Too busy. Cars and bikes should share the same lanes in each
direction as is the case on other roads in the City.
I am concerned with the fact that the curbs will be removed and pedestrians
will not have a physical barrier between the vehicles in the case of a collision
or incident. The colored concrete will likely not be sufficient at night as well to
act as a safety measure.
Bikes between cars.

What concerns you about option 1?
Space for Bike Lanes - This is a connector to the Coastal Rail Trail
It says "shared space for bikes and cars." I'm not sure why there aren't lanes
marked like in Options 2 and 3. I don't think the extra expense and advantages
(?) of paving outweighs the advantages of safer, marked lanes. Why remove
the curbs?! This would be more hazardous to pedestrians.
No particular concerns from the rendering, but hopeful that adequate lighting
is also to be included.
Stupid. Waste of taxpayer money. Is the city official orchestrating this action
looking for votes, or a talking point for the next election ?
None
Shared space does not work. Bicycles are all over the place.
Seems a little crowded.
Is there enough room? Looks too crowded.
Waste of $
Nothing
Cost and long term costs associated with specialized pavements. Speed of
vehicles
The sidewalks are too narrow (especially on the western side). Unclear
whether or not there are trees and adequate lighting in this plan and whether
that would impact the limited walking space. Concern that drivers would not
respect the shared space concept.
No curbs reduces pedestrian safety.
Safety, too much going on for limited space.
That nothing will be done.

Pretty tight quarters for 2 bikes and two vehicles.

The only concern I have is with all three options. When you reach Tyler and
Oak, there is a blind spot on the left where you can't see traffic from State
turning onto Oak or proceeding down Oak eastbound until they are about
ready to hit you. Those parking spots on the south side of Oak block the view.

Nothing
The road width. Traffic and parked cars sharing a narrow space. Narrow

Needless money spending.
This doesn't seem that different from today - and just seems like it squishes

What works for you in option 2?
Like wider sidewalk for pedestrians One way could be good for pulling
out of driveways, but creates too many parking issues
SIDEWALK INCLUSION: likes inclusion of sidewalk, but prefers both sides
have sidewalk SIDEWALK DESIGN: likes paved instead of brick as in
Option 1 ONE-WAY: some participants liked one-way to direct traffic
better for street and makes crossing street easier and the street safer
PARKING: likes inclusion of parking vs Option 1, though could be better
If the street was to be one-way, preference on going NB. Preference
to move the bike lane to be a sharrow NB only. Possibly look at
parking on both sides.
Less moving traffic is appealing.
Everything works. Seems the safest for all concerned
Having separate bike lanes for the safety of the cyclists. Having a
sidewalk.
I like option 2. That works.
I like that going to just one-way traffic will slow the overall speeds and
automobile traffic in the area. I like that the bikes lanes are completely
protected and separated. This is overall my favorite option and likely
the safest for the most vulnerable groups (ped & bike)
Dedicated bike lanes.
Reduced traffic, more room for bikelanes. Sufficient parking
Clearly marked bike lanes, which could also happen in Option 1, but it
isn't shown in the picture. Bikes also have the option of the Rail Trail.
Raised sidewalk with a curb. I kind of like the one-way traffic idea (as
long as it works for the businesses there), because it allows for the extra
buffer space between cars and bikes. However, I don't know why there
can't be sidewalks (with curbs) on both sides of the street.
Not in favor of this option.
Stupid. There is NO fast traffic going northbound on the streets at
either end of Tyler St.. There are perfectly good sidewalks there. Is
the city official orchestrating this action looking for votes, or a talking

None, however if one way traffic for business (northbound) beginning

Sidewalk
Nothing. All bad.
Larger sidewalk. I know when I walk the sidewalk, our "group" tends to
walk partially in the street - so widening one side would be great.
1. One way, northbound. The street is narrow, so one way just fits
better. Traffic flow toward the Village makes more sense than
southbound. 2. Parking on one side only. (Now, if we could only get
parking enforcement to enforce the parking rules.)
Reducing traffic into one direction. This option is much safer for
bicycles and pedestrians. Roosevelt is so busy and unsafe. At times that
this would be a nice area to buy a pass some of that.

Better for pedestrian walking because more space
OMISSION OF DOUBLE SIDEWALK VS OPTION 1: Sidewalk should be on
both sides to cater to community and tourism PARKING: Omission of
parking on both sides provides difficulty for residents, businesses, and
tourists, although tourism was less concern for residents; more
concern for business owners LOADING: request active loading zone
dedicated space in front of senior apartment complex BIKE LANE:
prefers shared road with bikes to make space for parking and/or
sidewalk inclusion
Concerned people will go down the wrong way, whether accidentally
or to save time. The one-way is inconsistent with the rest of the
village and may be confusing This option seems to be placing
preference on bikes as opposed to people (vehicles/bikes) This
option would remove the loading at Tyler Court, very important to
residents/care givers there. One-way would force traffic to one
location, causing congestion due to poor traffic control Is it safe to
have bikes going the opposite direction on a one-way street.
Will the businesses be harmed by the loss of foot traffic on the west
side?
Nothing
Not being able to drive both ways on the street, having to only go one

What concerns you about option 2?
If only one lane for cars, there should also be only one lane for bikes,
as they need to follow same rules as vehicles if they are using the
roads. Then you can build a wider sidewalk on both sides of the street.
The lack of sidewalk on both sides makes it concerning of how
pedestrians will be able to access the shop or building entry-points on
the side that is only a bike lane. There would have to be clear signage,
entry points, pedestrian crossings, etc.
No sidewalks on west side. Include sidewalk on both sides of street.
- Sidewalk on only one side. - Not sure one way will work for the auto
repair businesses. Have you met with the businesses to see if this
option is good for them?
Need sidewalks on both sides. One way traffic is not acceptable.
Priority for two bike lanes and only one drive lane is not pracitcal,
given the use in that location.

No sidewalk on one end doesn't look balanced. Hard for pedestrians

Bike lane in middle of road. You except the bike rider to see both side

The one way direction should be to the south to feed traffic away from
people trying to park for the businesses and Boys and Girls club in the
area and avoid the cars leaving the huge mixed use building at State
and Oak. You should be trying to feed vehicles away from the area
instead of increasing congestion — especially when people are
dropping off or picking up kids at the B and G Club.

How do pedestrians cross to the west side?
The bike lanes should be protected. The parking should be removed so
cars don't have to cross over into the bike lane. This option is better,

Safety! Bike lanes in BOTH directions are contrary to bike laws, which
state cyclists are supposed to ride with traffic and follow car laws.
Adding a bike lane against traffic only creates confusion, and
confusion reduces safety. It is also 100% unnecessary, given that a
block west is the rail trail bike path, and a block east is Roosevelt with
beautiful wide bike lanes on both sides. There is zero reason to put a
wrong way bike lane on Tyler. I’d also like the parking moved to the
west side, again for safety reasons. Fewer driveways to infringe upon
on the west side.
I don't understand how this is ONE WAY NORTH??!!! you are asking
me to approve a BIKE land going in the opposite direction from
NORTH. Does not make sense!
no sidewalk on other side?
Lack of sidewalk on the opposing side.
one way car lane, two way bike lane is confusing
We need two way traffic for cars. Sidewalk on only one side could
result in people walking in the bike lane. Why are bikes being

This is my preferred option
Bike lane between cars, sidewalk only one way
No need to restrict traffic to one direction.
Making it one way to traffic won't detour cyclists from going both
ways

confusion and congestion
People may be confused on the direction if there is not proper signage
saying it is one way.
Pedestrians
one bike lane doesnt have a buffer area between it and the car lane
One way is always confusing and a hassle
Have one way bike lanes.
Sidewalk only on one side; replacing parking with sidewalks on both
sides would be preferable
One way
I have hardly ever seen a bicycle on Tyler Street. We don't need
separate bike lanes in an area without bikes. There are also few
pedestrians.
The sidewalk on one side only. One-way street could create more
traffic for those unaware of exactly where they are going.
one way limits accessibility
Not so pretty
The width of the road. Bike lanes are not necessary because a bike
path is west of the road. Sharrows should suffice for bike riders on the
short roadway.
Not two ways
Little traffic so no need one way. No need bike lanes, there is the rail
trail literally feet away.
Bikers are going to go all over, as they double-up, ride with family, etc.
I also think the one-way aspect of the street will create undue traffic
from people having to circle the block. And, in looking at the option
with 3, I think it would be better for the residents if the parking is on
the other side to make it feel more open for them.

1. Bike lanes in both directions is 100% contrary to bike laws. Cyclists
are supposed to follow car laws, as in go with the flow of traffic, not
against it. Having bike lanes in both directions, on a one way street,
creates confusion. Confusion diminishes safety. Cyclists already have
nice wide bike lanes a block away, on Roosevelt. They don’t need to
ride both directions on a one way street. 2. Parking on the east side.
There are many more driveways on the east side than the west.
Parking in the west side, instead of the east side, would create safety.
Increased Traffic on Roosevelt and Chestnut for vehicles entering Tyler
St Residents should be able to acess safe pedestrian sidewalks on both
sides of street

Good – Most traffic comes from east, he gets east to west + crossing there can
be difficult Moving parking to west side is great Since cyclists already share
lanes currently isn’t a change which avoids confusion One sidewalk could be
okay Right now you can be more easily seen walking in street (dangerous w
people pulling out of driveways)
SIDEWALK: favors sidewalks on both sides PARKING: favors inclusion of
parking, but should be on both sides TWO-WAY: business owners and
property manager prefers two-way street to cater to businesses and loading;
residents prefer one-way for safety and less perceived traffic
Like the idea of the sidewalk on the west side
It is a typical traffic scenario, so it works.
Sidewalk on both sides of street and no overhead power lines over sidewalks
Being able to drive both ways on Tyler Street. Having sidewalks that are

parking. (I would also be ok if there was only one side walk and one bike lane.) I
also think that this section is short and slow enough that cars and bikes sharing
a lane would be fine.
Nothing works

What works for you in option 3?
Sidewalk , parking, two way car traffic
two sidewalks is good. two way traffic is good
Sidewalks with curbing.
Simple, has parking, has sidewalks on each side.
Nothing
Sidewalks on both sides.
Same things as in Option One. Plus seems it would be more economical as is
doesn't involve "decorative" paving.
Tyler is not a high volume street. Having bikes and cars share the road makes a
lot of sense.
sidewalks and parking
Parkin on west side of street and 2-way traffic. This is really the only good
option for us.
Sidewalks
Beach Parker’s don’t have to cross the street.
To a traffic is still an option and bikes share the road with cars. It is a very short
distance and not very congested with cars or bicycles.
I do not prefer this option
Traffic is worsened, curbs still in for sidewalks
Side walks are important for the safety of all.
Parking on the west side, as there are fewer driveways on the west side.
sidewalks on both sides, parking availability,
- Similar to other areas of Carlsbad - helps with multi-modal safety
This is the least confusing option for travel by any mode
Two way traffic, sidewalks on both sides
two-way traffic, separations for sidewalks, sidewalks on both sides.
2 sidewalks
Sidewalks on both sides

None

What works for you in option 3?
wider sidewalk. Simpler bike management. A dedicated bike lane is not worth
the expense for such a short distance.
Parking is okay - using all the space
Two way traffic. Sidewalks on both sides
Two way traffic
Nothing. Not an improvement for safe biking.
Pedestrian access in both directions.
Still has flexibility between cars and bikes
Nothing. Excessive car and foot traffic for a narrow street, would be very
unsafe.
Ok
All of it.
Nothing
Not much
This is a pedestrian area a walk into the village! We need these Sidewalks on
both sides. People who live on both sides of the street deserve to be able to
walk out safely. It is good that traffic slows for bikes.
Sidewalk access
Bikes share lanes with cars.
Nothing
Sidewalk both sides
2 sidewalks
sidewalk both sides
Nothing
None.
works for me too
Nothing
Nothing.
Sidewalks on both sides. I like that fact that cyclists and motorists share the
same space. It's a very low traffic street.
it is not a huge change and still two ways
sidewalks on both sides - but still think option 2 is best
Sidewalk
Two lanes for pedestrians
wider sidewalks are good

What works for you in option 3?
Offers everything needed
Sidewalks on both sides
Sidewalks
I like option 3
Nothing again.
Yes, I would choose option 3
Designated sidewalks on both sides. Designated parking. Shared bike lane
moving parking to west side is the most important/crucial thing, greatly
improves safety and visibility when entering Tyler from the east, where most
traffic comes from
New sidewalk
No
Sidewalks and two way traffic are essential
Best of 3 unnecessary options.
Love that the parking is moved to the other side, and the cars and bike share
the road. Overall this is my fav of the 3 options as is.
Moving parking to west side, where there are fewer driveways to infringe on.
Ok along with option one
sidewalks on both sides!
Wide sidewalks vs narrow sidewalks
It’s better than option 2 but lesser than option 1
I like the raised curb sidewalks. I am in favor of bikes and vehicles sharing the
same lanes. Traffic is generally light along Tyler street.
Nothing.

What concerns you about option 3?
No point in moving the parking Property owners can address their own
parking Creates less parking overall (starred) Don’t want to lose parking
(starred) Just not realistic – Looks like adding space that doesn’t exist
Chestnut is also missing a sidewalk What are pros/cons 1 & 3 Aesthetic
choice Dips on sidewalk
Pedestrian access is a big concern + right of way is big concern Sidewalks on
both sides are good if they fit but concerned about limited space
SIDEWALKS ON BOTH SIDES PARKING ON BOTH SIDES DEDICATED LOADING
ZONE
One way street is bad idea due to blind spots Trucks unloading and blocking
the entire street/no way around them Don’t like this option
Don’t like the idea of parking on the west side, as this may lead to people
parking in front of Tyler Court Apartments Would like to see red curb in no
parking areas Business owner (Leucadia Towing) concerned with parking on
west side, may make getting trucks in/out difficult Would be nice to have the
sidewalk on the east widened slightly How is the city going to account for
growth along the west side? Need additional parking enforcement
Will the businesses on the east side have a loss of foot traffic and be harmed?
Shared bike/car lanes. Just not safe for bikes due to prevalent drivers in a hurry
in the Barrio
Making sure people are driving safely in their cars and are attentive to bikes
that would be sharing the lane (for the safety of the cyclists).
Moving parallel parking to the west side. I'm not sure what the purpose would
be. Might make ingress and egress to parking lots for businesses on the west
side more difficult.
Street is not wide enough for two way traffic, sidewalks on both sides and
parking on one side.
Not enough parking, narrow sidewalk (pathway) on one side
I do not like that the bikes still have to share the road with the vehicles.
Should allow 2-way bike paths.
It's too busy
I really don't like the shared lanes for bikes and cars along the entirety of Tyler
Street. I think drivers get frustrated at going 10-15 mph.
The share lanes for bikes and vehicles, particularly in this location, are
problematic. This will create unsafe conditions for all involved.

What concerns you about option 3?
Stupid. Waste of taxpayer money. Is the city official orchestrating this action
looking for votes, or a talking point for the next election ?
Nothing
Shared roads do not work. Bicycles need their own lanes and MUST stay in
those lanes.
Bicycle safety.
Not much.
Waste of money & how will trucks get in the Tea place?
sharing a lane with bikes
parking on wrong side. need for sidewalk on west side and having the room to
make an 8 foot sidewalk on the east side plus bulb-outs at the corners.
Amount of space dedicated to vehicles. Lack of dedicated bike infrastructure.
Earlier images showed trees between the parking spaces but not shown here.
If there is a high volume of vehicle traffice it may be less safe for bikes.
Not safe
See concerns on opt 1 - 2
Nothing special about this option. If they put decorative pavers like option 1,
then this would look much better
no parking on south west side
No space for cyclists.
The priority needs to be the safety of the children at the Boys and Girls club.
I've seen parents do stupid stuff on Oak Street that causes issues with other
cars and child safety.
As above
unsure at this point
Bikes and cars together.
shared space for bikes and cars.
bikes and cars sharing lanes
I don’t like sharing bike lanes with cars
Only need sidewalks on one side of street
Shared lanes will work if the speed limit for the road is reduced. Otherwise, it's
going to create issues with vehicular traffic stuck behind slow moving bicyclists.
Limited parking?
Bikes and cars not separated
Shared bike-car lanes
Cars and bikes sharing the road
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 79 of 120

Tyler Street public input report appendices
What concerns you about option 3?
No street parking for residents on east side, shared bike lanes
No clear cross walk area.
I’d sacrifice a sidewalk on one side in favor of more parking.
Accidents
Carlsbad drivers are not good at observing bike share lanes in narrow streets -
they pass me all the time on the Palomar bridge over the tracks, even with a
double yellow line
No one is going to bike in a shared lane with cars. This is a terrible option.
Dangerous to have shared driving lanes!!!
One way not needed
More accidents with cars and bikers as the jockey for position
shared lanes aren't fun on bikes
Nothing
Same as option 1, except parking now on west side. No aesthetic improvement.
I'm not a fan of curbs.
Having bikes & cars "sharing" lanes is a bad idea.
shared bike/car lane is dangerous. not all car drivers understand the concept of
sharing a lane unfortunately.
Shared lanes for cars and bikes. Don't do anything to this street if you cannot
make it safe for everyone (drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians).
As long as the "sharrows" are clear that bicycles are expected to ride in the
center of the lane, nothing.
Shared lanes are a accident/ death waiting to happen
Cars might not share the road with bikes.
Nothing
shared bike and car lanes just doesn't work
Sharing road with bicyclists, who are totally inconsiderate of cars wanting to go
more than 5 miles an hour. Easier to live with than other options
Looks like any other street
No dedicated bike lanes. I’d prefer #2 with west side parking.
What concerns me with option three is that parking is being removed from one
side of the street.
Moves parking away from residences.
Nothing
Not sure about changing up the parking is necessary

Tyler Street public input report appendices
What concerns you about option 3?
Tyler is narrow. Is there really room for continuous sidewalks on both sides, plus
two way traffic? We already have two way traffic, shared by bikes and cars,
parking (albeit unenforced) On only one side, and a sidewalk on only one side,
and we often still need to pull over to let an oncoming car squeeze through.
Narrowing the road by adding sidewalk to the west side just doesn’t seem to fit.
cars and bikes in same lanes
Not much; this seems like the best option.
cars and bikes in same lane, but if it works on 101 Leucadia, I guess it can work
in what amounts to an alley.
Bikes sharing lanes with cars never works. A car does not want to go 10 mph
behind a bike. It always ends up where the car tries to pass the bike. Plus, it is
unreasonable to ask cars to drive behind bikes which go much slower.
Reduces parking.
sharrows instead of bike lanes, parking on the wrong side,
No parking on east side
Shared space for bikes.
Safety in shared bike lanes.
Sharrows are a lazy design and not bicycle friendly.
Nothing
No dedicated bike lanes
Noise
Bigger sidewalks preferred over parking
is it wide enough? Can the sidewalks be widened more?
The Shared space idea seems like it would cause a lot of accidents, and disrupt
traffic.
Need angled parking for more cars
Everything.
Bikes and autos sharing lanes is dangerous and other than above have no
positive of this option.
Asphalt in this area is generally hot and uncomfortable.
Car traffic, foot traffic, car parking, street not wide enough to accommodate all
traffic patterns.
But still prefer one
Nothing.
Again shared lanes
Not share the lane
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 81 of 120

Tyler Street public input report appendices
What concerns you about option 3?
changing things around
Nothing.
No safe space for bikes. There is no point in changing where the cars park. That
doesn’t seem like it serves a purpose for any reason at all. It seems like making
more work
NO PARKING. Why such wide sidewalks?
Cars and bikes sharing. Purpose of moving parking from one side to the
other??? People can use sidewalks on one side.
Shared bike lane
Is it wide enough for all of this?
parking on west side
YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO BIKES WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR ALL THESE SURVEYS
WHEN YOU DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR RESIDENTS????
Someone is going to get killed
Worst ideas ever. Mixing bikes and cars in a "Shared" lane is not safe.
No decorative paving
Bikes in the same lanes as cars isn't as safe.
Shared bike and car, nope
No need for one way street here. Not busy.
Parking should remain on the east side in front of the homes & residences.
a lot of time money and energy for no big difference
bike share lanes are confusing for a lot of people that have never seen them
and Carlsbad has lots of non-resident traffic
Looks crammed to accommodate for all directions, vehicles, and pedestrians.
Not enough space for bicycles
no dedicated bike lane
I don't like bikes in driving lanes.
Cars and bikes share space
Wider sidewalk on one side is better option.
There is no need for sidewalks on both sides of the street when there are hardly
any pedestrians. Don't fix what ain't broke.
I see this as the best option and don't see a drawback with sharing bike and
driving lanes. It's a small street and should serve all parties.
may not be enough room to add sidewalk on the west, but a minor issue
compared to moving the parking to the west side
Not so pretty
July 1, 2024 Item #1 Page 82 of 120

Tyler Street public input report appendices
What concerns you about option 3?
Road width. Mixed use for traffic. Narrow sidewalks. Improvements are for
tomorrow, not the present time. Increased traffic will create more unsafe
conditions.
N/a
Could use money on more urgent traffic issues in Carlsbad. Buy more quality
green paint for bike access lanes. Just painted areas from several months ago is
fading fast and soon to be low visible. Repaint with high quality street paint.
Not a concern, but I just wonder if you really need a sidewalk on both sides
versus extending the walking area on one side to make it bigger for people
(especially if you were going to make it more tiled/decorative).
Tyler is narrow. Is there really room for sidewalks on both sides?
Limiting on street parking and more multi residential units being built without
parking. No one buys a million + dollar unit and doesn’t own a vehicle
It’s better than option 2 but lesser than option 1 for reasons stated above
I am fine with maintaining parking on the East side of the Street.
Street lighting is non existent per se, so putting bikes and cars in the same lane
is problematic.
