TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
COMMISSION MEETING OF: October 03, 2016 ITEM NO. 6C-1
LOCATION: Kelly Drive at Hillside Drive
INITIATED BY: Doug Bilse, City Traffic Engineer
REQUESTED ACTION: Inform Traffic Safety Commissioners of revisions to the proposed
modifications to the existing traffic circle on Kelly Drive at its
intersection with Hillside Drive
DATA:
The City Traffic Engineer will present information to the Traffic Safety Commission {TSC}
regarding plan revisions to the existing traffic circle located at the intersection of Kelly
Drive and Hillside Drive {see Exhibit 1). Exhibit 2 shows the intersection of Kelly Drive
and Hillside Drive with changes made in 2014 when the traffic circle was installed-
retaining the existing STOP sign on Highland Drive.
Field observations and public comments indicated that drivers were often circumventing
the intended route through the intersection, and instead driving through the traffic
circle and in the bike lanes. On July 11, 2016, staff presented to the TSC signing and
striping plans to address these concerns {see Exhibit 3). There were numerous
comments made during the public hearing at the July 11, 2016, TSC meeting regarding
these proposed changes. Most of the comments reflected confusion about the STOP
sign on Hillside Drive and concerns about the bicycle and pedestrian safety traveling
through the intersection.
Staff prepared the attached plans {see Exhibit 4} to remove the STOP sign on Hillside
Drive and address concerns raised at the July 11 meeting related to pedestrian and
bicycle safety issues. The revised plans now reflect a formal roundabout design with
splitter islands. The new design does result in the loss of some on-street parking on Kelly
Drive. Residents impacted by the proposed parking loss and the Kelly School
administration staff were notified of these changes.
This project directly advances the following core values identified in the Carlsbad
Community Vision:
• Small town feel, beach community character and connectedness
• Access to recreation and active, healthy lifestyles
• Walking, biking, public transportation and connectivity
• Neighborhood revitalization, community design and livability
• Sustainability
