Districts: All
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission Work Plan for fiscal
year 2024-25.
Executive Summary
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.15.020(C) requires that each board or commission provide
to the City Council for its approval an annual work plan of activities.
The proposed Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission Work Plan details the activities the
commission anticipates undertaking in fiscal year, or FY, 2024-25. The purpose of the work plan
is to create a dialogue between the commission and the City Council, and to ensure that the
commission is working in line with the City Council’s priorities.
Explanation & Analysis
Overview
The city’s Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission makes recommendations to the City Council
on traffic and pedestrian safety-related issues and provides a public forum to review
community input regarding mobility and traffic safety matters.
In July and August 2024, the commission worked with its staff liaison to develop and
recommend for City Council approval the attached Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission
Work Plan for FY 2024-25, provided in Exhibit 1, Attachment A. Some items that are contained
in the FY 2024-25 work plan are multi-year efforts that will carry over into future years.
The commission approved the proposed work plan at its meeting on Aug. 5, 2024. That vote
also called for Commissioner Kohl to attend and speak at this City Council meeting to represent
the commission with Commissioner Coelho as an alternate, as shown in the draft meeting
minutes attached as Exhibit 2.
Next Steps
Once the City Council approves the Traffic Safety and Mobility Commission Work Plan for FY
2024-25, future agendas for the commission will be developed according to the plan.

1200 Carlsbad Village Drive
Carlsbad, CA 92008
In response to Vice-Chair Fowler’s inquiry regarding e-motorcycles, Lieutenant DeVelasco
explained that e-motorcycles would need pedals to be considered e-bikes and cannot be
registered with the DMV as they are sold because they would need to be modified to meet
certain requirements.

quarter be included in the report, Lieutenant DeVelasco explained that, because the Police
Department has changed how they collect data, he would be able to include the
corresponding data starting next year.
In response to Chair Coelho’s inquiry regarding the decline in warning issued between

due to the Police Department’s vacancies and the success of e-bike safety education.

In response to Chair Coelho’s inquiry regarding why painted red curbs and posted signage
