DEPT. HD.
ClTY A
425 CITY MGR.
ADOPT Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No. d3 8 APPROVING
the final Village Transit Station Design and Site Plans.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On February 20, 1990, the Carlsbad City Council and Housing and Redevelopment Commission
approved an agreement with the North County Transit District (NCTD) and the County of San
Diego for construction and operation of a Commuter Rail/Transit Station on the north side of
Grand Avenue between State Street and Washington Street. Following approval of this agreement,
staff of the various cooperating agencies began work on the project which included negotiations
for the railroad right-of-way, relocation activities and station design work. Negotiations with
Santa Fe Railway Company are now complete and NCTD has assumed control of the property.
For over two years, City Staff has worked with NCTD and the County to develop a station
design which meets the needs of the commuters and fits into the character of the Village. The
station has undergone major redesign to be more compatible with the Village Redevelopment
Area and to maintain consistency with the draft Master Plan for the area. Staff believes that the
final Village Transit Station Design and Site Plans are acceptable with the conditions noted below
and reflect the efforts by NCTD/County to address most of the concerns expressed by the City’s
Project Review Team, which included staff members of the Engineering, Planning, Police, Fire,
Water and Housing and Redevelopment Departments.
The proposed Transit Station will include a bus transfer area, short term (2 hour) and long term
(all day) parking of 150 spaces total, public restrooms, information booth, and approximately six
(6) small retail suites (10’ X 10’) for transit-related goods and services. NCTD has indicated that
they will work with the City to identify appropriate uses for the retail spaces.
If the final drawings/site plans submitted to the City for our records include the
revisions/corrections as requested by City staff during our various meetings with NCTDKounty,
we recommend that the City Council and Housing and Redevelopment Commission take action
to approve the final plans for the Village Transit Station with the following conditions:
0 NCTD shall cooperate with the City of Carlsbad to incorporate the City-Wide Trails
System into the Village Transit Station project, to the greatest degree possible, once the
final alignment for the trails is complete and approved.
0 NCTD shall investigate structural sections of the road surrounding the stations,
specifically on Washington Street and Beech Avenue, to ensure that the roads are
adequate to handle the bus/truck traffic related to the Transit Station. If the roads are not
deemed adequate to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, sufficient improvements shall
be constructed prior to initiation of operations at the station.
AGENDA BILL # 2 y j-
PAGE 2
0 NCTD shall enhance the landscaping along Washington Street, to the satisfaction of the
Housing and Redevelopment Director and/or the Planning Director, to provide greater
protection to the residences from any dust and noise impact associated with the Transit
Station.
On October 26, 1993, the City Council indicated that the following conditions should also be
added to the project:
0 A “triggering” measure to be applied to the decision by NCTD as to when additional
parking will be added to meet the needs of patrons using the Transit Station.
Staff is proposing that this condition be stated as follows: NCTD shall routinely monitor
the usage of the Commuter Rail System at the Village Transit Station location and the
related demand for public parking. If at any time during operation of the Commuter Rail
System the parking space mid-day utilization ratio for the Transit Station parking lots
exceeds 85% for at least three (3) service days, consecutively, NCTD shall initiate
expedited procedures to provide additional parking spaces for the station.
0 NCTD shall investigate the possibility of adding a third access to the station from the
Alley to State Street at Beech Avenue. If, and when, feasible, NCTD shall construct the
necessary improvements following consultation with the City Engineer.
At this point in time, NCTD has agreed to accept the conditions of approval as outlined above.
These conditions have been incorporated into the attached Housing and Redevelopment
Commission resolution for approval.
In light of the jurisdictional issues and timing limitations for processing the station plans, it is
City Staff’s recommendation that NCTD/County assume complete responsibility for construction
and operation of the Village Transit Station without the issuance of permits by the City. Staff
does not believe that it is necessary nor feasible, from a timing/process standpoint, for the City
to issue any discretionary or building permits for the station. County staff will conduct building
inspections and issue the certificate of occupancy for all related buildings. In addition, NCTD is
the lead agency under CEQA. The City has provided comments on the environmental review
documentation; however, NCTD will be required to implement any mitigating measures which
may be required as a result of the review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Village Transit Station at Grand Avenue represents an approximately $2.1 million
investment by NCTD in the Redevelopment Area. Except for Council and Staff time involved
in working as a member of the project review team, no City funding is required for the station.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT TO AGENDA BILL ON CITY COUNCIL AND HOUSING
AND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AGENDAS FOR NOVEMBER 2, 1993
REGARDING THE VILLAGE TRANSIT STATION DESIGN AND SITE PLAN(S)
City staff has had a number of meetings with NCTD and the County over the past couple of
years regarding the design and site plan(s) for the Village Transit Station. Staff believes that
NCTDKounty has submitted a final plan which will be an asset to the Village Redevelopment
Area. The following report has been prepared to provide the City Council with additional
information on the various design and site plan issues discussed by City Staff and NCTDKounty
Staff and the result of these discussions.
NCTDKounty submitted their final plans to the Housing and Redevelopment Department on
August 31, 1993. The plans were reviewed by Planning, Engineering, Fire, Police, Water and
Redevelopment Department Staff. Issues of concern to City staff were outlined in a letter, dated
September 15, 1993, to NCTD and noted on a copy of the site plan for easier reference.
Attached to this report is a copy of the noted correspondence. NCTD’s response to the City’s
comments is outlined in their letter of October 4, 1993 (also attached to this report).
On October 12, 1993, City Staff met with staff of NCTD and the County of San Diego to
discuss the various design and site plan issues. In response to most of the issues and desires
expressed by City Staff, NCTD/County agreed to incorporate appropriate changes to their plans.
At the conclusion of the meeting, there were only a few issues which remained outstanding in
that there was not agreement on how the issues should be addressed. Those issues were as
follows:
a Sound mitieationlvisual mitigation - This was an issue related to the bus transfer station
proposed for the west side of Washington Street. Staff was concerned that there would
be a negative impact on residences along Washington Street which needed to be
mitigated. NCTDXounty indicated that the findings of their noise study reflects no
“significant” impact. Therefore, they did not believe that mitigation actions were
necessary. However, NCTD did agree to enhance the landscaping along the west side of
Washington Street to provide an additional buffer for the residences.
0 Turn-around for Trucks accessing Bauer Lumber Yard - City .staff requested that
NCTDKounty provide an appropriately-sized turn-around area for large trucks making
deliveries to, or picks up from, the Bauer Lumber Yard. NCTDKounty agreed to work
on this issue. However, as of this date, City Staff has not had an opportunity to review
the final plans related to this turn-around area.
0 Citv-Wide Trails System - As indicated in the agenda bill reviewed by Council on
October 26, 1993, this issue is outstanding and will remain outstanding until an action
can be taken to incorporate a bike trail into the transit station.
0 Investigation of Sections of Road for Adeauacv to Handle Bus/Truck Traffic - During
the meeting, the Engineering Department indicated that NCTDKounty needs to
investigate the structural sections of the roads surrounding the Transit Station,
specifically Washington Street and Beech Avenue, to determine whether or not they will
withstand the bus and truck traffic anticipated for the Transit Station. NCTDKounty did not believe this was necessary because their studies do not indicate a significant increase
in traffic above that which is currently using Washington Street and Beech Avenue. City
Staff still feels strongly that NCTDICounty need to investigate the roads and take action
to make appropriate improvements, as indicated by their investigation. ,
City staff also discussed with NCTD/County the desire to save as many of the Eucalyptus Trees
on Washington Street as possible. Engineering Staff developed a plan for redesign which they
believe meets the needs of NCTDKounty and saves all of the trees. Therefore, it was requested
that NCTDKounty work with City Staff to redesign the proposed Washington Street
improvements. NCTDKounty staff agreed to allow their engineers to design a revised plan as
requested by the City. At this time, however, City Staff has not seen the final drawings or plans
related to this issue. Consequently, we do not know if this issue has been resolved in a
satisfactory manner.
Although staff has not had an opportunity to review the final plans prepared by NCTD/County
which incorporate all of the agreed upon changes, based upon the assurances of NCTD/County
that the changes will be made, staff has recommended approval of the plans. The conditions
highlighted within the agenda bill(s) on this item were specifically written to address the issues
which were not completely resolved during our meeting with NCTDKounty. It is our
recommendation that the City Council incorporate these conditions into the final approval of the
plans. The remaining issues which were discussed but resolved per City Staff’s discussions with
NCTD/County have been incorporated into the approving resolutions by reference to NCTD’s
letter dated October 4, 1993.

RE: CARLSBAD VILLAGE TRANSIT STATION
Dear Debbie:
I am in receipt of your letter of September 15th. We have met with the County of San Diego
to review the City’s comments and have addressed each one of the comments and/or issues, as
follows:
SIGNAGE:
1) Comnrehensive SignaPe Plan. indicating Directions, etc. NCTD will submit plans
separately.
2) Advertising Sipnane: We concur completely.
3) City Sign Code: We concur completely.
PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION:
4) Provision of Pedestrian Circulation: We do concur, however, with modification.
Colored pavers must not meander through parking lots because they give a “False
Sense of Security. ” They are acceptable as sidewalk material.
5) Relocation of Trash Enclosure: The trash trucks may be forced into a position
which will require either backing out of an entrance driveway or driving against
the flow of traffic through the parking lot. The trash enclosure was located here
to allow for easy access and to site it as close as possible to the primary
sources,i.e., the concessions area and the public restrooms. Since we are not
recommending that the colored pavers be placed throughout the parking areas, the
City’s primary reason to relocate this enclosure is not applicable.
6) Handican rams: We concur completely.

.
7) Pedestrian Safety Signals: We do not concur. Enclosed as Exhibit No. A is a
diagram of the pedestrian crossing warning device to be installed at the platform.
This was selected after consulting with California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) staff regarding appropriate crossing devices for this application.
The warning devices are activated by the approach of the train, via track circuits,
to be installed by others. The existing signal case and battery case at Grand
Avenue will be used to house the activation circuits.
The paving material at the crossing shall be a rubber&d crossing material. These
materials are manufactured in sections, which vary in length between suppliers,
thus the crossing width may have to be modified slightly.
SEATING
8) Longer Benches: We concur with modification. Wooden benches are easily
damaged; arm rests do discourage “sleepers,” trash cans should be bolted down,
the drinking fountains should meet ADA standards. .
LANDSCAPING:
9) Adding Landscabinp: We concur completely.
10) Mature Landscaping Interference: We concur completely.
11) Trriaationllandscaping: We concur completely.
12) Enhanced Landscaning in Short Term Parking Lot: We concur completely.
SOUND WALLS AND/OR BUFFER FEATURES:
13) Location. Height. etc. We do not concur. The sound wall is not required per
Ogden report.
14) Bus Noise “Bounce Back” Prevention: We concur completely.
isj Wall ReDlacement with Wrought Iron. etc. We concur, but with some
modification (Refer to #14).
Debbie Fountain/CITY OF CARLSBAD/October 4. 1993. Cont’d.
PARKING LOTS/VEHICLE CIRCULATION:
16) 20’“Throat” Minimum: We concur, but designer needs to verify.
17) Elimination of 3 Parallel Parking Soaces: We concur completely.
18) Parking Stall Size: We concur, but designer needs to verify first.
1% Parking Spaces: We do not concur as the station will have approximately 150
parking spaces at start-up as discussed in the EIR Project Description (pg. 17).
The 250 parking spaces discussed on Pg. 35 of the EIR was not necessarily at start-up. In fact, in numerous meetings with the City staff and the Downtown
Merchants Association, it was requested that we start out with only 150 spaces to
avoid creating a “sea of parking. ” NCTD agreed to this and the site plans have
been developed accordingly.
20) Parking Spaces in Drop-Off Area: We concur completely.
21) Public Parking Lot Access: We concur, however, we need dimensions from the
City.
22) Median Extension: We concur, however, we need dimensions from the City.
23) One-Way Desipn/Parking Lot: We concur, however, designer needs to verify.
RIGHT-OF-WAY IMPROVEMENTS:
24)
25)
26)
27)
28)

“Dirt Area” We do not concur, however, some landscaping is appropriate. Park-like
furniture such as tables and benches should not be used because this would create
dangerous situation.

REZ CARLSBAD VILLAGE TRANSIT STATION
Dear Dinah:
Thank you for submitting the final drawings/plans for the proposed Grand -Avenue Village
Transit Station for review by the City of Carlsbad on August 31, 1993. Plan&g, Engineering,
Fire, Police, Water and Redevelopment Department staff have reviewed the plans for the station.
In general, staff was pleased with the basic design of the station and the various improvements
proposed for the site. However, city staff does have some issues, concerns and/or comments
which we feel must be addressed prior to City Council action on the plans. Enclosed with this
letter is a single “redlined” copy of your site plan. All of staffs comments have been
consolidated onto the site plan to allow for easier reference. The numbering of the comments
below correspond to the comments noted on the enclosed site plan.
The following summary of the comments and issues is provided for clarification purposes:
SIGNAGE;
1. The plans need to include a comprehensive signage plan which indicates directions to the
Village, Beach, Transit Station activities (i.e., restrooms, bus transfer area, etc.), parking, and other signage to be located on the various buildings. The plan should
include the size, content and manner in which the signs will be installed on the buildings
and within other areas.
2. Do not include advertising signage on concrete block wall, if constructed. An art
component within the wall may be acceptable but it should not relate to advertisements.

Transit Station Comments (cont.)
3. The City’s sign code does not currently allow the banners indicated for the clock towers.
Therefore, they should be removed from the drawings.
PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION:
4. Need to provide pedestrian circulation which allows easy, safe access to the station while
maintaining separation from cars as much as possible. The use of colored pavers or
striping to indicate pedestrian crosswalks and walkways within both the long term and
short terms parking lots is very desirable.
5. Relocate trash enclosure to allow the provision of pedestrian walkways to reflect safe and
easy pedestrian circulation.
6. Add handicap ramp to sidewalk at south end of short term parking lot, if not already
shown. The plans are not clear as to whether or not a ramp is to be provided at the south
end near Grand Avenue.
7. Need additional information on type of pedestrian safety signals to be installed at track
crossing. Staff believes that there should be some type of barrier to prevent pedestrians
from crossing tracks while trains are in motion,
SEATING AREA AND/OR OTHER AMENITIES:
8. The seating areas should be expanded through the installation of longer benches and an
increase in the total number of benches to allow more people comfort while waiting for
the train and/or bus. Specifically, a bench should be added to the south end of the
platform.
It would also be more desirable to use benches which are “less comfortable” to prevent
people from sleeping on them. For example, wooden benches with arm rests in the
middle would prevent people from using them for sleeping purposes. The City would like
to see the “furniture” (including benches, trash cans, and drinking fountains) coordinated
with existing street furniture used at various public locations in the Village. Enclosed
with this letter are pictures which reflect the existing street furniture for your review and
consideration.
LANDSCAPING:
9. Add landscaping to northwest and southwest comers of Christiansen and Washington to
create a focal point for entryway into Village/Reach areas. This is desirable to encourage
people to enter Village after disembarking from the train and/or bus.
.

Transit Station Comments (cont.)
10. Mature landscaping should not interfere with site distance within the parking lot or alley,
11. Any irrigation/landscaping should be designed for water conservation and to accept future
reclaimed water.
12. Enhance landscaping in short term parking lot and drop off area by providing additional
flowering trees and add more palm trees in the north long term parking lot. Add 36” high
screening shrubs between parking spaces in alley and city parking lot.
Note: Staff recommends that NCTD/County attempt to save as many of the existing
Eucalyptus Trees as possible.
SOUND WALLS AND/OR OTHER “BUFFER” FEATURE!3
13. Indicate location, height and other details of the sound wall (as related to bus noise) .
required according to the submitted Noise Study, dated June, 1993, which indicates a 10’
wall is needed to buffer the residences along Washington. If this wall is, in fact, to be
constructed, it needs to be an attractive wall. Improvement Plans for this wall will need
to be submitted to the City for approval, if the wall is to be constructed.
Staff would like to call your attention to the fact that preferred noise mitigation measures
stipulated relocation of the bus transfer operations. A 10’ wall in the frontyard setbacks
of the homes along Washington Street is the least desirable alternative and will require
approval of a variance to exceed fence height of 42”.
14. To prevent bus noise from “bouncing back” towards the residential areas off of
Washington Street, staff recommends that the proposed concrete block wall currently
shown on the west side of the railroad tracks be replaced with a wrought iron fence with
landscaping to allow the sound to “move through” the barrier. NCTD/County may also
wish to consider continuing the ornamental metal fence that is proposed at the pedestrian
crossing as an option for replacement of the concrete wall.
15. If replacement of the wall with wrought iron or other ornamental metal is not acceptable,
staff recommends, at a minimum, that the wall have a design which is more aesthetically
appealing and is more reflective of the “near ocean” location (i.e., create a visual feeling
of waves rather than rigid lines). See wall design at new Palomar Airport Road exit from
North I-5 for an example. A combination wall of 2’ wrought iron and 4’ decorative wall
would also be acceptable:
Note: Although the City will not be performing environmental review on the proposed
transit center, staff does not believe that the noise issue on Washington should be
ignored in the drawings/plans for the station.

PARKING LOTS/VEHICLE CIRCULATION:

18.
19.
20.
21.
22.
23.
Provide a minimum of 20 foot “throat” at opening to north portion of long term parking
lot. As currently designed, the handicap parking spaces present a conflict for clear access
to the parking lot entrance. It is recommended that the three handicap spaces be relocated
closer to the station. In place of the parking spaces, staff suggests the addition of bike
racks/lockers and additional landscaping.
Eliminate the first, three (3) parallel parking spaces at the alley entrance off of Grand
Avenue and. eliminate the first’ three (3) parallel spaces at the exit from short term
parking lot to Grand Avenue. $’ CcF&,~
Parking stall size should be 8-l/2’ X 20’ for regular spaces. Compact stall size is 83f2’ g\.q \
X 15’. On the plans, the percentage of compact stalls must be included within the ce
parking lots. The number of compact spaces should not exceed 40% of the total number
of parking spaces in order to remain consistent with the Village Design Manual. Any
compact spaces also need to comply with Section 21.44.110(3)(A-D) of the Zoning
Ordinance (attached for your review).
The EIR indicates that a total of 243 parking spaces should be included in Phase I of the
Project. This number is not consistent with the proposed parking plan. Staff is concerned
about the inconsistency and believes at least 240 spaces are needed in the project’s fust
phase, consistent with City comments made since April, 1990.
No parking spaces should be located in drop off area.
Provide for access from the alley to the public parking lot on northwest corner of State
and Grand.
Extend median in alley at south end of short term parking lot to prevent vehicles from
turning left into the e&rance exi4 ’
One way design on circulation for long term parking lot - no two way beyond the first
one way aisle.
RIGHT-OF-WAY (ROWMIMPROVEMENTS:
24. Minimum 20’ travel lane is required on the entire’length of Washington Street.
25. Label existing and proposed R-O-W widths on all appropriate plans. Clarify NCTD vs.
City R-O-W improvements. City improvements will require full improvement plans.
Page 5
Transit Station Comments (cont.)
26.
27.
28.
29. Traffic Signal must be shown as proposed at Beech and Carlsbad Boulevard.
30. Need additional street improvements at cul-de-sac on Beech for turn around to prevent
vehicles from going the wrong way from Beech onto Washington. Also, the type of
signage to be installed should be noted on the previously requested signage plan.
31.
32.
33.
Show all dimensions of R-O-W, parking etc. on one single site plan. Currently staff must
look at different sections of the plans to find dimensions which is difficult for review
purposes. Also dimension the design of the cul-de-sac on Washington at Beech.
Show typical sections for improvements which are in the City of Carlsbad’s R-O-W.
Improvement plans will be required for these improvements.
Where the platform ends on north side of station, it is requested that the “dirt area”
between the parking lot and train tracks be developed into a more visually appealing
“passive” park or plaza area. The area appears to have been ignored in the design of the
station. It is an area which could contain some tables, additional landscaping, etc. to
create a pleasant waiting area for the commuter rail patrons.
Constraints map shows railroad tracks which do not exist. Sheet 1 of map is missing
from plans submitted to the City.
Pavement treatment at station entrance/exit off Grand Avenue and at entrance to
Washington Street is desired to provide clear and attractive identification of these areas.
Chain link fencing on the east and west side of railroad tracks beginning towards the
northern most portion of the long term parking lot is desirable to prevent pedestrians
from walking onto the tracks towards the station.
BAUER LUMBER ISSUES:
34. Do not indicate new entry for Bauer Lumber on the plans. Although this may appear to
be desirable for business reasons, this type of decision will remain with Bauer Lumber
and should not appear on the plans.
35. Need truck loading area at Bauer Lumber and need turn around/circulation improvements
for semi-trucks serving the store. It is recommended that the loading/unloading area be
located at the rear of the retail site to allow the vehicles to clear CedarKhristiansen
before unloading/loading materials. Verify trucks can maneuver around planter in circle
drive.
, - Page 6
Transit Station Comments (cont.)
In addition, accommodations need to be made to provide loading/unloading access to
Bauer store on the south side of the building; there is a taller door at this location which
may need to be used for delivery/pick-up of a limited number of materials.
36. Need to provide some additional reserved parking spaces (i.e., 30 minute parking) within
long term parking lot (preferably) for Bauer Lumber customers.
FIRE HYDRANTS:
37. Need to provide, two (2) fire hydrants to be located north of building adjacent to alley.
One should be placed at the south end of the long term parking lot and another at the
north end of the long term parking lot. Fire flow required is 1000 gallons per minute.
38. Need to address issue of drainage problem created by a. low point near north end of long
term parking lot. .
39. Drainage flow may affect existing uses. NCTDKounty staff should review the proposed
drainage plan and consider the impact on surrounding uses .
40. The site has existing water and sewer lines in Washington Street, Grand Avenue and the
alley. These should be shown on plans.
41. Although based on information available at this time there is no specific problem, any
grading over existing systems mav be a problem (i.e., depth of cover over water and/or
sewer). NCTDKounty should be aware of staffs concern and be careful during
construction.
42. If possible, staff believes it would be desirable to architecturally enhance the archway
into the station. Example: Highlight the arch with blue/green from roof to draw the eye
to the arch and remove the “lattice” type woodwork from the arch to allow the eye to
look clear through the arch.
As a general note on the final drawings/plans, please do not include information which is clearly
I& part of the Transit Station/Bus Transfer Station at this point in time. To reduce confusion,
the drawings/plans should reflect existing and proposed buildings/improvements only if they are
related to Phase I of your project. For example, by noting the “proposed new access” off of
State Street on the submitted drawings, it could be assumed that this is part of Phase I of the
project.

Transit Station Comments (cont.)
According to the attached schedule, NCTDKounty has approximately two (2) weeks to respond
to the above issues/comments and submit revised final drawings/plans, if applicable, for review
by the general public and ultimately the City Council and Housing and Redevelopment
Commission. To remain on the proposed schedule, NCTD/County should submit a response to
the City no later than September 30, 1993. If the plans are revised, please submit the enclosed
“redlined” plans with the resubmission. A meeting will be scheduled to discuss your responses
and/or revised plans on Thursday, September 30, 1993, if necessary.
Due to the fact that there will be not City Council meeting on October 19, 1993, the schedule
for processing the drawings/plans for the Transit Station has been revised slightly. The public
workshop has been moved to October 18, 1993 and the two meetings before the City Council
are set for October, 26, 1993 and November 2, 1993. We hope the revised schedule is
acceptable to NCTD/County . Unless informed otherwise, we will assume that NCTDKounty
staff will be available at the workshop as well as the Council meetings to present the plans and
answer questions. Additional information regarding the workshop and City Council meetings will
be forwarded to you at a later date.
If you have any questions, regarding staff’s comments on the drawings/plans, please contact my
office at (619) 434-2935.

2631 Roosevelt, Space 16 Carlsbad Calif 92008
Dear Mayor Lewis and Council Members:
After reviewing the Carlsbad (A) the Public restrooms (B) railroad tracks.
Transit Center design, I am confused as to why Snack Bar are located on the east side of the
After all the money spent on educational videos and presentations citing the dangers of pedestrians crossing railroad tracks, you would consider approving public facilities at a location which will tease, entice and encourage the bus transit riders to continually cross the tracks.
I believe the initial passenger count for commuter rail is about 169 persons who will have bathroom facilities available to them on the train. There will be 6-8 trains in the AM and PM so activity at the train site will be limited.
At the bus transfer location across the tracks from the snack bar and restrooms-buses start running at 5:15 am until lo:15 pm. If you consider that during the day (6 am to 8 pm) there are at least 7 buses each hour arriving at the bus transfer point. This does not count the extra school bus trippers that are, extra in the am and pm for the Carlsbad School Children. This means that at a minimum there are 119 buses at the bus transit center per day for 34 pick or transfer periods.
If you consider each bus could pick up an.average of 5 adult riders per trip (very average because at commuter hours there are many more) + (many small children) this adds up to 595 plus 119 drivers.
Of course, I am not a Professional Planner but it seems that once again the emphasis by NCTD is for the look and not for the practical-Escondido has classy tile but no shelter from rain-Oceanside has bathrooms but far away from the major movement of people. Your liability will be on the line every time a bus passenger crosses the tracks.
* PAGE 2
I don't know the guidelines from the American Disabilities Act as it relates to this station-but many physically handicapped and seniors ride the bus and would also be crossing the tracks. Wheelchairs !!! !.
It is unfortunate that the bus passengers generate public hostility-but we are here and have been COMMUTERS at risk for a long time. This Village Train Station is also a bus.transfer point and all aspects and comforts of the bus passengers should be of the. same importance as the commuter train passengers.
Does the bus location have a shade area for Summer and a cover for Winter rains, enough seats, phones?
It is possible that they intend to close down the restrooms after the trains leave so bus passengers cannot access them but if not I do not want to see anyone killed on the tracks for a cup of coffee or a restroom,break.
I was also told there would be a security person for daytime. As this area is located in one of the top two crime areas in Carlsbad it will be open season for grafitti and drinking, maybe the security guard should be at night.
I do not expect you to pay too much attention to this letter because as usual the NCTD Professional Planning staff will have all' the answers to void concerns. I would like this letter entered into the City record to show this issue was brought up-to show a concern for bus riders and pedestrians who may be at risk by this design if approved-not to mention bus drivers who like everyone else should be entitled to a safe location if they choose to use a restroom or get a snack.
