STAFF REPORT
October 03, 2016 ITEM NO. 6 C-2
LOCATION: Carlsbad Boulevard between Manzano Drive and Encinas Creek Bridge
INITIATED BY: Doug Bilse, City Traffic Engineer
REQUESTED ACTION: Inform Traffic Safety Commissioners of proposed lane reduction
on Carlsbad Boulevard to provide pedestrian access
DATA:
The City Traffic Engineer will present information to the Traffic Safety Commission
regarding a proposed lane reduction on Carlsbad Boulevard between Manzano Drive
and Encinas Creek Bridge to addresses existing gaps in the pedestrian path along the
coast between Manzano Drive and the Encinas Creek Bride. The proposed striping
changes and curb cuts provide a continuous pedestrian pathway of approximately 5,600
linear feet while maintaining all existing parking areas. 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
Per the Mobility Element 3-P.15: "The City Council shall have the sole discretion to
approve any such road diet or vehicle traffic calming improvements that would reduce
vehicle capacity to or below LOS D". Based on existing traffic volumes on Carlsbad
Boulevard and an assumed capacity of 1,800 vehicles per lane per hour, the existing
level of service for the proposed lane reduction on southbound Carlsbad Boulevard is
shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Existing Level of Service
Volume Volume/Capacity Level of Service
Ratio
AM Peak Hour 588 0.33 A
PM Peak Hour 704 0.39 A
Assuming a growth rate of 31% for the AM Peak hour and 17% for the PM Peak hour in
2035 {per Draft Traffic Impact Study for Carlsbad Boulevard/Terramar Project), the
future level of service for the proposed lane reduction on southbound Carlsbad
Boulevard is shown in Table 2.
