3. TRAFFIC CALMING ON ORILOE COURT, MIMOSA DRIVE, MOORHEN PLACE AND DOVE LANE–
(Staff Contact: Miriam Jim and Lindy Pham, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Approve staff recommendations
Senior Engineer Jim presented the background of the project related to the potential traffic
impacts on Oriole Court, Mimosa Drive, Moorhen Place and Dove Lane due to the opening of
Poinsettia Lane (Poinsettia 61 project) estimated for fall of 2020. She explained that the city is
taking a proactive approach to prevent a potential cut-through traffic in the residential
neighborhoods. Although the candidate streets did not meet Phase 2 speed criteria of the
Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program (CRTMP), an exception may be granted by the
Traffic and Mobility Commission.
Associate Engineer Pham outlined the public outreach process which consisted of two
neighborhood meetings and mailed surveys letters. The first neighborhood meeting focused on
Oriole Court to Dove Lane, and the second meeting focused on Mimosa Drive from Moorhen Place
to Aviara Parkway. After a preferred traffic calming plans were developed, surveys were mailed
to the residents of each neighborhood to gauge community support for the plans. The survey
results met the support criteria found in the CRTMP and staff recommended that the Traffic and
Mobility Commission grant an exception and support the proposed traffic calming plans.
Presentation is on file with the office of the City Clerk.
● Commissioner Fowler commended the city staff for wearing mask as they work on the
streets.
● The T&MC is identified as a data-driven decision commission and in this case, we do not
have data to support the need for the proposed traffic calming plans, so what sort of
analysis was used to conclude that these streets could potentially become cut-through
routes?
● City Traffic Engineer Kim explained that the Poinsettia Traffic Analysis, that was previously
presented to the T&MC on December 2019, identified Oriole Court, Mimosa Drive,
Moorhen Place and Dove Lane as a potential cut-through routes and based on these
findings, City Council directed staff to be proactive and implement traffic calming on these
residential streets.
● Commissioner Fowler inquired how cut-through routes were identified, was it probability-
based?
Page 3 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
● City Traffic Engineer Kim explained that the cut-through routes were identified using
travel times. No probabilities were assigned to the potential cut-through routes but
engineering studies have shown that drivers will select their routes based on travel time
savings.
● Commissioner Hunter inquired about staff using resources on problems that does not yet
exist, when we could be using resources to address problems that we do know exist.
● Deputy City Manager Gomez provided clarification that residents in the area identified a
reoccurring problem with cut-through traffic and this was communicated to staff during
the public meeting for the Poinsettia Traffic study.
● Commissioner Linke agreed that these streets could be potential cut-through routes and
he asked if staff looked at any comments from the residents that opposed the traffic
calming project.
● City Traffic Engineer Kim answered that staff provided space on the survey for the public
to express their concerns. Staff will normally review the comments only if the survey does
not meet the required public support criteria.
● Commissioner Linke also expressed his concern of addressing a problem that does not
exist yet.
● Commissioner Perez inquired about the average speed in these streets specifically near
Aviara Oaks Elementary school drop-off and if there were any comments expressed
related to school drop-offs?
● Associate Engineer Pham answered that a resident did express concerns of parents using
the residential streets as cut-through routes to Aviara Oaks school.
● Chair Gocan inquired how soon the traffic calming measures will be implemented in
relation to the opening of Poinsettia Lane?
● City Traffic Engineer Kim answered that it is staff’s goal to have the traffic calming project
completed before the opening of Poinsettia Lane.
● Commissioner Perez inquired how the outcome of this traffic calming plan will affect the
priorities of others residential traffic calming plans?
● City Traffic Engineer said that it will not change priorities but since this project has not yet
started, staff is planning to design the project in-house to expedite the plan.
● Commissioner Perez inquired about the traffic calming that was done on Harwich if would
be demoted in terms of priority?
● City Traffic Engineer Kim said no, the traffic division has enough staff to continue the
projects already in progress moving forward.
● Commissioner Penseyres inquired if the children living in the new area will be attending
the Aviara Oaks Elementary?
● City Traffic Engineer Kim answered that it is likely but he does not have knowledge of how
the school district set-up the boundaries.
● Commissioner Penseyres asked if the developers were going to use any other open space
to provide a trail to the school like it was done in other areas?
● City Traffic Engineer answered that this would have been part of the Poinsettia 61 project,
which was approved years ago and that he is not familiar with conditions of approval for
that project. He does not recollect any trails projects associated with Poinsettia 61 but
could check into it.
● Commissioner Penseyres inquired about the speed data and whether or not we had
information on the maximum and minimum speed recorded.
Page 4 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
● Associate Engineer Pham answered that staff has the data, she does not have it right now
but she can provide to the commission.
● Vice-Chair Johnson inquired how the curb extensions work and the capability to slow
traffic and how to deal with streets that do not have enough width to add a curb
extension.
● City Traffic Engineer answered that curb extensions are usually not proposed for reducing
speed on mid-block segments due to a lack of deflection. Since this traffic calming project
involves multiple streets, curb extensions at the corners were recommended to slow the
turning speeds. Curb extensions at the corners will reduce the curb radii at the corners
and will reduce speeds and in turn, reduce cut-through traffic.
● Commissioner Linke made a comment that this traffic calming related to the gap closure
of Poinsettia Lane is one of the last major gap closure in the City of Carlsbad, so he does
not see setting a precedent until the gap closure of College Boulevard is constructed.
Motion by Commissioner Penseyres seconded by Commissioner Hunter to approve an exception to the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program and support the proposed traffic calming plans on Oriole Court Mimosa Drive, Moorhen Place and Dove Lane.
Motion carried: 5/2 (No: Fowler and Johnson)
4. MULTIMODAL LEVEL OF SERVICE METHODOLOGY – (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public
Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: receive report
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt presented the Multimodal Level of
Service Methodology (MMLOS) that started with the General Plan Mobility Element in 2015
established a MMLOS methodology to evaluate impacts of individual development projects and
amendments to the General Plan on the city’s transportation system. The presentation is on file
with the office of the City Clerk.
● Commissioner Linke inquired if the letter grades for all the streets in the City of Carlsbad
have been generated using the current MMLOS methodology?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered that not the entire
street network, roughly 20% of the street network has been studied using the most recent
MMLOS methodology.
● Commissioner Linke commented that it seems that we are doing this backwards, we
should review the MMLOS methodology first and then apply it as opposed of applying
and putting it to a Growth Management Program (GMP) monitoring report for approval
by the City Council and only after that go through the review process of the method that
was used.
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt understands Commission Linke
request but he points out that this is a brand-new methodology developed specifically for
the City of Carlsbad and is a work in progress. Once the Commission has a chance to
review the results, staff will work with the Commission to identify issues and update the
methodology for next year’s (FY 2019-20), monitoring report.
Page 5 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
● Commissioner Linke said that it would be easier to have access to the data now in order
to review how well the tools are working but he guessed that T&MC are only to receive
the report at this point. He asked if there were any letter grade E or F on the 20% of the
streets that were analyzed with this tool?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered yes, there were letter
grade E and F but he does not recall which streets. This information will be part of the
GMP monitoring report that will be presented to the T&MC in July.
● Commissioner Linke asked why transit was not included in the MMLOS presentation?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered that this presentation
was to prepare the commission with an initial look at the MMLOS methodology and to
provide the Commission with understanding, specifically for bike and pedestrians MMLOS
because that is what is being look at as part of the upcoming GMP monitoring report.
Transit was not included yet for the GMP monitoring report.
● Commissioner Linke inquired if the T&MC will review the point system themselves or
T&MC will review the entire methodology?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that after the initial
monitoring report is submitted to the commission then staff will take a step back and
open-up to the commission to review the entire methodology.
● Commissioner Linke presented a PowerPoint presentation which is on file with the office
of the City Clerk.
● Commissioner Hunter inquired how do we have a 100 points scale with variables that
gives us over 100 points and make it accurate?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt agrees that this is an issue that
may needs to be adjusted in future methodology updates.
● Commissioner Penseyres would like to see before and after usage of this new tool on a
street that went through a road diet (La Costa from El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe).
He thinks the results of the before/after should be interesting. Another one that would
be interesting to have the new tool used is the section on Tamarack Avenue from El
Camino Real to Carlsbad Village Drive due to the very steep grade. Commissioner
Penseyres suggested that this topic, MMLOS, should be included in the ad-hoc committee
for Sustainable Mobility Program.
● Vice-Chair Johnson asked how are we going to do the analysis in the City? Are we going
to use the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) in conjunction with MMLOS?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered yes, MMLOS analysis
will be provided in conjunction with VMT analysis.
Chair Gocan inquired if anyone had anything against a 10 minutes break, seeing no hands she asked
everyone to be back to the virtual meeting by 5:00 p.m.
5. SEMIANNUAL TRANSPORTATION REPORT - (Staff Contact: Tom Frank, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Receive report and Commission comments
Page 6 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
Transportation Director Frank presented the Semiannual Transportation Report which is on file
with the office of the City Clerk.
● Commissioner Linke congratulated staff for all the six-months accomplishments and
acknowledged that Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt has inherited
all the hot button issues and charted all projects that he has the most comments. He
pointed out that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) does not show new funds for the
College Boulevard extension in the City’s draft CIP budget being presented to the City
Council. He asked for assurance that the College Boulevard extension will move forward.
● Transportation Director Frank answered that it was his oversight that the College
Boulevard extension was not included in the Semiannual Transportation Report. He
pointed out that the funds for the College Boulevard extension are shown in the Regional
Transportation Improvement Program(RTIP). There is approximately $2.5 million
available for the initial engineering studies. As the commission know, the RTIP does not
commit the city to fund projects in any way, it is somewhat of a wish list that helps
SANDAG with their program modeling. Transportation Director Frank explained that the
City is including funding in next year’s CIP budget for the College Blvd extension which
would be shown in the revised upcoming draft CIP budget.
● Deputy City Manager Gomez explained that after receiving City Council direction related
to the College Boulevard extension project, staff met internally and have identified
potential funding sources. As previously briefed, the developer for the Terraces project
provided funds for constructing the College Boulevard extension. Approximately $1.3
million of those funds are currently available. Staff is moving forward with preparing a
scope of work for a consultant to prepare a preliminary engineering assessment. She
asked whether Commissioner Linke’s question had been answered.
● Commissioner Linke requested that staff include the College Boulevard extension and the
draft Evaluation Manual in the six-month goals list.
● Commissioner Fowler shared his disappointment that the city is planning to spend roughly
$3 million dollars to conduct engineering studies and lead the College Boulevard gap
closure project. He asked if the city has the option not to build the extension of College
Boulevard.
● Deputy City Manager Gomez answered that until recently City Council has not supported
a city-led effort to construct the College Boulevard extension because the Local Facility
Management Zone 15 Plan and Citywide Facilities and Improvements Plan and include a
private development obligation to fund and construct it. During the October property
owners’ meeting, they confirmed that development of their properties and construction
of College Boulevard extension would not occur in the foreseeable future.
● Commissioner Fowler inquired if the State is compelling the City to complete the
extension of College Boulevard?
● Deputy City Manager Gomez answered that the State is not compelling the city to build
the College Boulevard extension. City Council directed staff to pursue a city-led financing
program, which would include the preliminary engineering assessment. The College
Boulevard extension project is part of the city’s General Plan. In the past, the city had the
Page 7 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
option to not issue development or building permits with a moratorium. This moratorium
option is no longer available due to Senate Bill 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019.
6. ELECT CHAIR AND VICE-CHAIR - (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public Works) –
Motion by Commissioner Penseyres, seconded by Commissioner Linke to nominate Chair Gocan for
another one year term as Chair and to nominate Commissioner Perez to one year term as Vice-chair.
Motion carried: 5/2 (No: Hunter and Fowler)
7. RULES AND REGULATIONS - RESOLUTION – (Staff Contact: Nathan Schmidt, Public Works)
Staff’s Recommendation: Approve resolution
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt recommended that the Traffic and
Mobility Commission adopt the procedural rules and regulations for the Traffic and Mobility
Commission and to approve Traffic and Mobility Commission Resolution 2020-1. The
presentation is on file with the office of the City Clerk.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt pointed out that staff intended to add
to the Order of Business one additional item which is to set-up a Consent Calendar policy but
due to a clerical oversight this item was not included in the Resolution but staff will bring this
item back for the T&MC consideration.
● Commissioner Linke remembered that on July of 2019, the T&MC voted to refer a set of
rules and regulations to the City Clerk and the vast majority of those items have been
incorporated to the Communications Plan and in this rules and regulations except the
request of video recording of the meetings. Did staff asked the City Clerk office about
the prospect of recording our meetings and then posting it on to the city website?
● Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt answered that the City Clerk has
reviewed the Rules and Regulations and they are aware of the T&MC request to include
the video recordings to the Rules and Regulations. If the T&MC desires to include the
video recordings to the Rules and Regulations we can do so, the only caveat there is that
it will need to be some financial consideration on the part of staff in regards the cost of
recording the video and data storage.
● Commissioner Linke said that in the interest of transparency he moves that we add the
video recordings and posting it in the city website to the Rules and Regulations.
● Deputy City Manager Gomez said that something to consider is the consistency across
the board with the other Boards and Commissions that the City Clerk is in the process of
reviewing, so she would recommend that staff confers with the City Clerk to have a
better understand of the direction.
● Commissioner Linke disclosed to staff that he is posting the T&MC meeting to YouTube
and he asked if the attorney had anything against it.
● Assistant City Attorney Contreras said he does not see any Brown Act concern with
posting the meeting to YouTube.
● Commissioner Linke asked for staff to follow the Rules and Regulations and get all
communication from the public and the commissioners into the city website.
● Assistant City Attorney Contreras explained that the Public Record Act applies to any
form of communication between a member of the public and the T&MC, it might not be
Page 8 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
in the city website but any member of the public can request the records and the city is
obligated to provide a copy of the records.
● Commissioner Linke said that the City Council post any communication between a
member of the public and the Council members to the city’s public website. He would
like to see the T&MC to follow City Council practices as stated in the Rules and
Regulations.
● Commissioner Hunter would like to see the T&MC meeting video recorded and posted
in the city website.
● Assistant City Attorney Contreras after seeing some questions about public records and
communications outside the meetings he suggested to agendize a Public Record Act
Training session for the T&MC at a later meeting date.
Motion by vice-chair Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Hunter to adopt the Procedural Rules and
Regulations and to approve the Traffic and Mobility Commission Resolution 2020-1.
Motion carried: 6/1 (No: Linke)
Commissioner Linke asked that the minutes reflect that he voted “No” because he requested that an
additional rule be added that would require the video recordings of all T&MC meetings be posted to the
city website.
8. FISCAL YEAR 2020 -21 – TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION WORKPLAN – (Staff Contact:
Nathan Schmidt, Public Works AND David Graham, Chief Innovation Officer)
● Chief Innovation Officer Graham facilitated the discussion of the T&MC Workplan for
Fiscal Year(FY) 2020-21 based on the Carlsbad Municipal Code and the FY 2019-20
Workplan. The T&MC workplan 2019-20 is on file with the office of the City Clerk.
● Chief Innovation Officer Graham asked if the T&MC mission statement still reflects the
values of the commission.
● The T&MC agreed that the mission statement is still a representation of the commission
values and its relevancy.
Changes proposed to GOAL I and Objectives:
● Objective 1a)
○ Commissioner Linke suggested that Before/After Studies be
prepared for the Traffic Signal CIP projects, including the mobility
project portions of the Capital Improvements Program.
● Objective 1b)
○ Commissioner Linke suggested that we change the title of the “Traffic
Signal Master Plan” to “Traffic Signal Performance Report”.
● Objective 1c)
○ No changes suggested
● Objective 1d)
○ Vice- Chair Johnson suggested to add Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and
any other evaluation methods.
Page 9 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
○ Commissioner Linke inquired if the Transportation Demand
Management (TDM) Analysis is incorporated in the language of
objective 1d)
○ Transportation and Mobility Manager Schmidt said no, it does not
incorporate TDM guidelines, however this could be included in either 1d
or as a new objective. Staff will look to see where TDM would make the
most sense and revise the work plan to include this.
○ Chief Innovation Officer Graham suggested that staff consider where
the new objective related to TDM should be placed.
● Objective 1e)
○ This goal may be expanded to include additional goals related to TDM
and improvements to Carlsbad Boulevard.
Changes proposed for GOAL II and Objectives: ● Objective 2a)
○ Commissioner Perez inquired suggested a proactive approach to engage
the school district and work together in a plan to deal with the COVID-
19 circumstances. He is not sure if this is in the commission’s purview
and jurisdiction.
○ Chief Innovation Officer Graham suggested that staff evaluate the
existing situation and engage with the school district to review the
commission’s jurisdiction on this matter. It would be good to call out a
proactive approach of the commissioner’s relation to school mobility
and safety.
● Objective 2b)
○ No change
● Other discussions related to Goal II: Chief Innovation Officer Graham recommended to
work on the following elements related to Goal II:
○ Better define the commission’s role in Safe Routes to School Planning
(SRTS)
○ Consider adding language (for an objective 2c and /or 2d) that would
more proactively recognize the changed circumstances we are
experiencing due to COVID-19 and how additional public
communications can be included in these objectives.
Changes proposed for GOAL III and Objectives:
Commissioner Linke suggested to change the title of Goal III from “Developing a Communication
Plan” to “Enhance transparency to improve public input related to mobility issues”.
● Objective 3a) is completed and can be removed
● Objective 3b) is completed and can be removed
● Objective 3c) is completed and can be removed
● Objective 3d) will be revise to 3a
○ This objective is still pending and this is the reason that Commissioner
Linke suggested that the title of the GOAL III should be “Enhance
Transparency”.
Page 10 of 11 Public Works
Transportation 1635 Faraday Avenue Carlsbad, CA 92008 760-434-2730 t
○Chair Gocan asked if this is the right place to request that the T&MC
meetings are recorded and archived on the city’s public website.
●Objective e) will be revised to 3b
○Commissioner Linke commented that this should reflect the
commission request to work with the city clerk’s office to provide
video recordings of the T&MC meetings to the public.
○Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt
responded that staff will consider Commissioner Linke’s request
to provide video recordings on the city website. This
consideration will be based on available budget which would be
required to pay for a videographer and website hosting and also
confer with the city’s IT department on their capacity to provide
video hosting services for all city boards and commissions.
