Subject: Adoption of the Carlsbad Sustainable Mobility Plan
Recommended Action
Support staff’s recommendation to adopt a resolution adopting the Carlsbad Sustainable
Mobility Plan (SMP).
Executive Summary
The Sustainable Mobility Plan (SMP) presents a comprehensive look at current active travel and
transit conditions, as well as previous planning efforts to consolidate findings and
recommendations into a single master plan document. The SMP presents recommendations for
reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT), mitigating the impacts of growth and development, and
shifting how residents get around the city away from private automobiles towards modes that
are more livable, cleaner and healthier.
For just over a decade, the city has actively been developing and implementing a series of
stand-alone documents, technical analyses and recommendations relating to improving
mobility for all modes of travel within the city. The SMP is designed to help the city integrate
and synthesize these multiple previous planning efforts. It is a key element in implementing the
General Plan Mobility Element adopted in 2015, and will help meet the greenhouse gas (GHG)
reduction goals of the Climate Action Plan (CAP) by shifting community members away from
private automobiles toward modes that are more livable, cleaner and healthier. The SMP
examines alternative transportation options in a comprehensive and interwoven way to
present an existing and a future network.
The SMP will develop modal ‘blueprints’ to evaluate, plan, expand, and fund initiatives such as:
1. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements
2. Safe routes to schools and parks
3. Transit
4. Mobility hubs featuring car-share and bikeshare services
5. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) effort
6. Improvements in underserved communities such as the Barrio
As the city continues to grow this network, it endeavors to empower all residents with choices
that improve commuting, recreation and getting around the city overall while accomplishing
these important benefits:
1. Increased safety
2. More convenient options
3. Healthier travel options
4. Better traffic flow
In addition to broader stakeholder engagement activities for the SMP, the SMP Stakeholder
Working Group (SWG) provided insights to city staff and the technical team regarding the
methodology and prioritization of projects. The working group was comprised of
representatives from the business community, hospitality industry, Carlsbad Unified School
District, regional transportation agencies and community partners. The SMP and SWG members
were also encouraged to support broader stakeholder engagement and communications efforts
to support the planning process.
Background
The draft SMP was first presented to the Traffic and Mobility Commission (T&MC) on April 6,
2020. At that meeting the T&MC cited several concerns with the plan including development of
project prioritization criteria and project recommendations. Instead of recommending approval
of the plan, the T&MC created an ad hoc committee to help guide the project team in the plan
update. Since then, city staff has held several meetings with the ad hoc committee to review
and update the SMP in close collaboration with city staff and the project consultant Chen-Ryan.
After this process the draft plan was posted to the City’s Sustainable Mobility Plan website and
advertised community wide through mass emails and the city’s social media outlets to inform
the community about the plan and solicit feedback in the form of a public feedback survey.
Discussion
The SMP was driven by the Mobility Element to get a clearer look at existing transportation
options for residents, workers and visitors and to identify how to improve those options. Since
adoption of the Mobility Element in 2015, the city has been actively developing and
implementing a series of stand-alone documents, technical analyses and recommendations
related to walking and bicycling. The SMP is designed to serve as a “Plan of Plans” and help the
city consolidate these multiple planning efforts over the previous 10 years in a manner that
simplifies implementation and achievement of the overall goals for sustainable transportation
in the city.
There are 10 planning documents integrated into the SMP including the 2007 Bicycle Master
Plan, 2008 Pedestrian Master Plan, 2015 Comprehensive Active Transportation Strategy, 2018
Village and Barrio Master Plan, draft 2018 Transit and TDM Blueprint, 2019 Trolley Program
Feasibility Study and 2019 Trails Master Plan. A key goal of the SMP is to integrate planned,
unbuilt projects from these plans into a single database; prioritize these planned, unbuilt
projects; and thereby provide a significant tool to city staff for facilitating implementation of
these multiple planned networks.
Contents of the Sustainable Mobility Plan
Chapter One of the SMP provides an overview of recent state legislation that motivates local
government attention to improving the walking, cycling and transit environments within their
jurisdictions. Over 15 pieces of state legislation have been adopted since 2006 to reduce VMT
and GHG emissions, improve the safety of our most vulnerable travelers and encourage
planning practices that result in sustainable outcomes rather than enhanced automobility. The
SMP is in line with these directives from the state of California and with the desires of
community members who echo these concerns.
Chapter Two of the SMP highlights existing travel conditions and the need to address several
shortcomings for people walking, riding a bike and using transit. All roadways in the city were
evaluated using the Pedestrian Environment Quality Evaluation (PEQE) and the Bicycle Level of
Traffic Street (LTS), which reflect the overall comfort for cyclists and pedestrians. As shown in
the analysis, there are several gaps in these networks, and critical locations across the city
suffer from poor quality walking and cycling environments and a sparse transit network.
Chapter Three provides an overview of guiding planning principles and emerging mobility
concepts that framed the SMP process. These principles are largely focused on ensuring
equitable access and safety to all modes of travel regardless of age or physical ability.
Chapter Four summarizes the spectrum of community outreach activities that were undertaken
as part of the SMP process, including business and resident surveys, focus groups, formation of
a stakeholder working group, project website, community meetings and presentations, and
outreach to cyclists via social media and guided tours. Results of the online survey yielded
several insights about community members’ issues and desires. The most pressing issues
identified by community members were related to innovation, location (or density), gap closure
and first/last mile services. While city residents strongly desire to shift out of single occupant
vehicles to transit, access to transit is difficult.
Chapter Five presents the four planned networks as shown on the following pages for walking,
trails, cycling and transit. These recommendations were layered and combined into a
Transformative Corridor Network which presents a well-connected, comfortable backbone
network for more sustainable travel across the city. The proposed bikeway network was
significantly revised by the ad-hoc planning committee by scaling back the recommended
network of Class IV protected bikeways to buffered or enhanced Class II bike lanes.
Chapter Six focuses on programmatic recommendations including Safe Routes to Schools
(SRTS), cycling education, and TDM polices. These programs hold strong promise for assisting
two core city subpopulations — school children and workers — to change travel behavior to
less polluting, healthier modes. This chapter includes several key updates recommended by the
ad-hoc planning committee including the development of a Safe Routes to School Program
framework and an Active Transportation Monitoring program. The Safe Routes to School
program additions will provide the city with a framework to establish a more formal program
structure with identified responsibilities for various partnerships and phased list of
recommended strategies and actions which can be implemented over the course of the next
five years. The Active Transportation Monitoring program will allow the city to measure
changes in travel behavior over time especially in relation to the implementation of active
travel infrastructure projects. This monitoring framework establishes a data collection and
analysis program that will enable tracking progress toward key goals related to Vehicle Miles
Traveled (VMT) reductions, changes in travel mode split, and assist in monitoring of Green
House Gas (GHG) generation as part of the city’s Climate Action Plan.
Chapter Seven presents the SMP action plan, which includes a presentation of the SMP project
database and prioritization of this database. The SMP project database reflects a
comprehensive consolidation of planned unbuilt project recommendations from 10 prior
mobility planning efforts of the past 12 years, combined with new recommendations from the
SMP. The ad-hoc planning committee recommended extensive modifications to the project
prioritization analysis to include a more equal distribution of recommended projects
throughout the city by providing greater emphasis on citywide connectivity, areas with higher
VMT generation, and safety-related criteria.
The SMP project database includes over 246 bicycle, pedestrian and transit recommendations
across the city along corridors and across city subareas such as the Village, Barrio or within
school walkshed areas. Prioritization of these projects allows city staff and community
members to understand which projects have the highest priority for implementation, thereby
providing direction for near-term and longer-term implementation.
Key Themes from the SMP Planning Process
Based on evaluation of the City of Carlsbad’s safety, infrastructure and community perspectives
as discussed in detail in the SMP, the following key themes and plan priorities were developed:
• Enhance Existing Bikeways Along Major Arterials: The city already has many miles of
bicycle infrastructure. The challenge facing the city is how to retrofit this infrastructure,
which is mostly standard bike lanes, to not only protect existing cyclists but to attract
new users. This can be achieved through implementation of buffered or protected
bikeways or bike trails, particularly along high-speed roadways.
• Improve Freeway Crossings and Intersections: Many freeway crossings and intersections
at major roadways create physical and psychological barriers as people do not feel safe
walking or cycling through these areas. The SMP provides recommendations to address
many of these key crossings that will help bridge these existing gaps in the bicycle or
pedestrian networks between neighborhoods that currently lack these key connections.
• Plan for Vulnerable Users: Development of an “8 to 80” network where people can
comfortably walk and bike is critical to shifting mode choice away from driving. This is
achieved by planning and designing for those who are likely to benefit the most from
protection on roadways – children and the elderly; hence the reference to 8 to 80 years
old.
• Innovate and Make Use of the City’s Desirable Location to Attract Visitors, Employees
and Employers: The city has long sought a highly skilled and highly educated workforce,
with an emphasis on technology and the pursuit of an active, enjoyable quality of life.
With the emergence of multiple new technologies, the city’s transportation network
should reflect this innovation along with strong workplace commuter programs and a
focus on maintaining the city’s status as a family-oriented destination for people from
all over the world.
Previous Traffic and Mobility Commission Review
As previously discussed, the draft SMP was first presented to the Traffic and Mobility
Commission (T&MC) on April 6, 2020. The T&MC cited several concerns with the plan including
the project prioritization criteria and project recommendations as detailed in the meeting
minutes in Exhibit 3. Instead of recommending approval of the plan, the T&MC created an ad
hoc committee to help guide the plan updates and provide more extensive public outreach.
Since then, city staff has held several meetings with the ad hoc committee to review and
update the SMP in close collaboration with city staff and the project consultant Chen-Ryan.
The following key updates to the SMP were performed as a result of the T&MC ad hoc
committee input:
• Numerous editorial revisions to the plan text, maps, and graphics
• Updates to the existing conditions sidewalk maps
• Provided clarification of the Multimodal Level of Service (MMLOS) used in the SMP
• Revised and expanded the Mobility Hubs analysis and recommendations
• Revised and updated the Transportation Demand Management section
• Added a roundabout policy to consider roundabouts on all existing city streets where
they can effectively address safety or traffic operations issues
• Extensive revisions to the recommended projects list including scaling back the
recommended network of Class IV protected bikeways to enhanced buffered bikeways
• A more extensive SRTS planning framework to better assist local schools in developing
their own SRTS plans in close collaboration with students, parents, school administrators
and residents from surrounding neighborhoods
• Development of a citywide active transportation monitoring program to measure
various performance measures related to active transportation, such as changes in
travel mode split (e.g., people shifting from single occupancy vehicles to walking, biking,
or taking transit), GHG emissions and safety through analysis of traffic collision data
• Refined the transformative corridors to include a more focus set of corridors that
provided connections to key destinations throughout the city
• Extensive modifications to the project prioritization analysis to include a more equal
distribution of recommended projects throughout the city
• Added a new section regarding the economic benefits of active transportation and
mobility improvements
• Updates to the Complete Streets Guidelines regarding the design of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities
• Additional public outreach and review to provide the community with sufficient time to
review and comment on the revised final document
Public Participation and Feedback
Public participation was a major component of the planning process, and it aided in drafting the
SMP. Input was collected through an engagement process that included online surveys, a
project website, pop-up events, focus group interviews, and numerous meetings with key
project stakeholders as summarized in Chapter Four of the document.
The SMP Stakeholder Working Group guided the initial development of the SMP and served to
provide insights to the city and project team regarding the methodology and prioritization of
projects. More than 25 community representatives attended four SWG meetings which were
conducted at key points in the project planning process. The working group was comprised of
representatives from the business community, hospitality industry, Carlsbad Unified School
District, regional transportation agencies, and community partners. During these meetings, the
working group members reviewed the latest project updates and provided input on technical
developments of the plan.
After the completion of the SMP ad-hoc planning committee’s review, the revised draft SMP
was released community wide for public review from Nov. 5 to Nov. 27, 2020. This review
included updates to the Sustainable Mobility Plan project website including an informative
video, fact sheet and a public feedback survey with several questions regarding the
recommendations and proposed mobility programs contained in the SMP.
More than 300 responses were received for the SMP survey and approximately ten emails and
phone messages with more detailed comments were also provided. The results of this survey
were tabulated and are provided in Exhibit 4. The questions about the SMP’s overarching
philosophy returned a positive level of agreement. 78% of the respondents agree that the plan
increases access to travel options through enhanced walking, bicycling and public
transportation.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the recommended actions at this time. As
described below, staff recommends developing a detailed implementation strategy including
engineering cost estimates and funding strategies for the recommended projects and programs
identified in the SMP. Staff will continue to analyze resource allocation and request additional
resources as needed in future budget cycles. All facilities proposed on private property will be
funded and constructed by private property owners or developers at the time of development.
Next Steps
In compliance with the General Plan, the Transportation Department intends to use the
adopted SMP as the principal roadmap to guide the development of the city’s active
transportation network.
After the SMP is finalized, staff intends to develop a more detailed implementation strategy
with a focus on providing realistic funding strategies for design and construction of
recommended projects. The implementation strategy will build upon the project prioritization
process and serve as a blueprint for the city for a phased implementation of the multimodal
improvement projects identified in the SMP. The strategy will conduct an engineering feasibility
analysis of top priority projects including rough order of magnitude cost estimates, conceptual
improvement plans, roadway cross sections and identification of funding sources. The identified
top priority projects will then be added into the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for future
implementation.
Environmental Review
Future actions described in the plan will be subject to further environmental review on a
project by project basis. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared by the city planner and will
be filed with the office of the San Diego County Clerk for a 30-day public review.
Public Notification and Outreach
This item was noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public
viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date.

The plan increases access to travel options
through enhanced walking, bicycling and
public transportation systems.
The plan will enable a shift away from single
occupant driving to walking, cycling and
transit.
Once the SMP is implemented I will have
enough options for getting around the city
using my preferred mode of transportation.
The planned network could make it easier for
me choose other ways for getting around
Carlsbad besides driving alone in my car.

1 concerned about crossing Monroe at Wickham/Hosp.. not sure of the plan for Jefferson next to
the lagoon.
11/30/2020 8:51 AM
2 There is an increased volume of e-bikes traveling to the beach from the east poinsettia/bressi
ranch/la Costa greens area via poinsettia (especially after the bridge opens). I wish there were
more safe biking lanes via poinsettia, similar to what is planned closer to the beach. E-bikes
significantly expand what should be considered “local or short bike rides”.
11/29/2020 3:25 PM
3 I did not see anything about the continued need for better public bus routes. My son is
disabled and this is the way he gets around town. He doesn't have a job where his employer is
going to provide ride share. The city needs to stop cutting the bus routes. Maybe if there were
more routes serving the disabled community ( or those without cars) ridership numbers would
go up.
11/27/2020 9:06 AM
4 Mobility hubs are a great way to for people to choose their best options. I would like to see car
transportation more disincentivized over other modes.
11/26/2020 9:22 AM
5 Most important issue to me is building out missing sidewalks, especially in areas west of El
Camino. Also, creating as many protected bike lines along coastal routes is another top
concern I would like to see addresses.
11/26/2020 1:02 AM
6 The trail network needs to bridge neighborhoods better. There are many suburb cul-de-sac
areas where even 100 feet of trails would turn a 20-minute walk to the store into a 5-minute
walk. It's not about how long the trails are, but about how many "shortcuts" they will create.
The bicycle plan isn't aggressive enough. El Camino Real and Palomar Airport road should be
separate multi-use paths. They are the main arterials for Carlsbad and connections to the
neighboring cities. They're both big enough to speed on and they never back up, there should
be a multipurpose bike trail through there instead of a buffer.
11/25/2020 11:42 PM
7 The bridge over I-5 on Tamarack needs widening and better and wider sidewalks and bike
lines. Adams St near a church and schools needs drainage, no other street in Carlsbad looks
as bad as Adams after a rain storm. Adams St near St. Pats school needs sidewalks. Who
else has no sidewalks near a school or shopping. Going on 2021, this needs fixing. The size of
the puddles on Adams St after rain are huge and people walk in the middle of the street.
11/25/2020 10:35 AM
8 Are pedestrians going to feel safe next to traffic in pedestrian zones (p.105)? Part of the
reason for people not walking is lack of amenities within walking distance, or for not biking is
the terrain, things this plan can't really address. And with little public transit, some people don't
have any other option but to drive. Is there a way to promote neighborhoods to share
transportation for these people?
11/24/2020 2:28 PM
9 should include services such as Uber and proposed self-driving car pick up services which
would enable older residents to live in their home independently, longer
11/24/2020 8:07 AM
10 Great start here. There does seem to be too much focus on Village projects. Other areas of
the city need attention also!
11/23/2020 12:48 PM
11 I'm seeing more electric bikes being used especially by young middle schoolers and older
people but the bike paths/routes are still next to cars. We need barriers to separate the bike
paths from cars so our families can ride to the coast, to the beach, to school, and around town
without leaving our safety up to car drivers. "Sharing the road" strategy is not sharing the same
level of safety between bikes and cars. Start closing some streets and make them bikes only.
11/23/2020 10:57 AM
12 Carlsbad's mobility is fine. My comment is in regards to lack of enforcement. Jaywalkers are
dangerous and never seem to get ticketed. There is NEVER enforcement on the seawall and
up top ... constant bikers, skateboarders, dogs, dog poop, etc. The seawall is supposed to be
for pedestrians only! The city's employees/volunteers need to tell those folks to use the bike
lane.
11/23/2020 7:54 AM
13 Additions to cycling transit are not a good use of funds. Very few of us can cycle. Sharrows
are horrible. Refocus on other areas.
11/22/2020 3:37 PM
14 Need to have a better address area's around the city that are not easily accessible to the
disabled, handicapped and elderly citizens. Smoother sidewalks, more crosswalk lighting.

16 Please put an emphasis on access to transit and less emphasis on recreation. We need more
efficiency, not more options. This is not Encinitas- we don't need to take out car lanes to
create bike and pedestrian lanes that are used by few.
11/21/2020 11:08 PM
17 You are delusional if you think the majority of people are going to abandon the use of their cars
to walk or bike to work/ school. Parents are too petrified of predators on trails to send their kids
solo. Most people take their kids to school and then go to work. You can not efficiently provide
public transportation to go from home to schools to work. I have to drive my child into San
Elijo Middle School only to backtrack and go to Oceanside out by the pier. You have allowed
builders to overbuild/ develop causing too dense of a population for the roads. Public
transportation is a black hole for the cities budget.
11/21/2020 7:28 PM
18 Coastal Rail Trail is essential! It's long overdue. If funding from this is moved then it will never
happen. The language is "May" Not we are implementing. from chapetr 5 "Due to the
significant cost of completing the long-term alignment, which includes crossing three lagoons,
an interim alignment has been included, which includes Class II and III on-street facilities
which may be implemented while additional funding is being sought for long-term Class I
facility. Coastal Rail Trail entrance in Encinitas, CA These improvements will likely require
additional right-of-way, planning and engineering services to arrive at a preferred alternative."
11/21/2020 5:46 AM
19 The plan doesn't provide much for cycling, basically just going through the motions. Also
without firm commitments for completion dates, it's nothing more than a show of intentions
without actions.
11/20/2020 9:58 PM
20 The City should have developed these plans before you OVERBUILT ! ! ! BIKE Lanes - are
inadequate and unkempt. See how long you can ride on the current bike lanes without some
tourist hitting you or getting a flat tire because of all of the debris on the road....FIX WHAT
YOU HAVE, THEN IMPLEMENT THE BIKE PLAN Pedestrian Network - My street does not
have enough sidewalks, so we have to dodge cars to walk around the block. I line on Skyline
RD, if you were wondering. As for safety, go to Tamarac ave and Skyline and watch all of the
cars 'run the red light. So where are the police? As for transit, you have overbuilt without it...

21 We have more trails than we need already. Empty buses and trains show we should reimburse
low income people using ride sharing and other private services rather than increase public
transportation access. Residents routes and needs change too fast for public transportation to
be convenient and cost effective. I recently changed from car to pedal assist bicycle and find
bicycle infrastructure adequate. I hike regularly and rarely encounter another hiker in a trail.
Standalone bike and pedestrian trails which provide shortcuts and no motor vehicle traffic
across major streets and highways like I-5 are preferred. Overall, this looks overplanned for a
city of this size.

22 Need Coaster to run more frequently. Keep bicycles off the sidewalks. Enforce vehicle laws on
bicycles.
11/19/2020 1:06 PM
23 The expansion to the Coaster Rail Trail is very exciting. I don't live in Carlsbad Village Drive,
so I'm mostly unaffected by the other planned improvements, especially with an ETA of 20-30
years.
11/19/2020 12:02 PM
24 The problem with Carlsbad is the geography and landscape. The most effective methods for
increasing alternative transportation methods is to level the landscape and reduce the number
of hills walkers and cyclists have to climb.

28 This is so needed!! We moved to Olde Carlsbad to be able to get around without our cars.
Sadly, we don’t currently feel entirely safe doing so at many times during the day due to
vehicle congestion. Bravo Carlsbad! Thank you for proposing this change!

29 The intersection light at Terramar at Cerezo Drive and Carlsbad Blvd. needs a round-a-bout on
Carlsbad Blvd. This is an extremely dangerous intersection and cars run the light looking at the
ocean and turn into the neighborhood to make high speed u-turns in the neighborhood to head
south along carlsbad blvd. to park at the beach. There is no other way for anyone wanting to
park on the cliffs if they are heading north; they are forced to u-turn in the neighborhood. We

also need a side-walk along cerezo to get to the beach so children, surfers, beach-goers etc.
don't have to walk head on into traffic to get to the cross walk.
30 I think adding as many bicycle options as possible is huge. With E-bikes becoming more
popular, bicycling is an excellent option for transportation if the streets and paths are safe with
proper protections from vehicles.
11/18/2020 6:35 PM
31 Our safety has now changed. I will not board a transit at this time. Biking is great if you are not
having physical issues. We need to address but complexion of safety has change do to viral
conditions. It is a new concern.
11/18/2020 5:57 PM
32 There are quite a few disabled individuals in our community. I didn't see them addressed in the
plan. I would like to see that addressed as well. I can think of three blind community members
that I see regularly. One has a dog and two use canes. My husband is in an electric wheelchair
and there are mobility gyms and clinics within a 20 minute drive of Carlsbad.
11/18/2020 5:39 PM
33 Cycling needs to have more than a line painted on the side of the street, more class 1 paths
are needed. many of the access routes to the beach are on very busy steets (La Costa is a
very good example) with cars traveling at high speed (50 or above) and no protection.
11/18/2020 5:10 PM
34 Cycle tracks are death traps - check out the debacle in Encinitas - full of sand, strollers,
people putting beach chairs in the lane, etc. They are unridable. Buffered bike lanes are less
problematic, but still end up full of road debris as the cars sweep the crap into the bike lane.
These need to be cleaned much more frequently than the road. When they are full of crap they
are unrideable unless you like dodging bits of tire, broken glass, trash, and other road debris,
along with flat tires. Carlsbad has the best bike lanes in San Diego County along the coast.
Don't screw them up in an effort to get kids and idiot tourists onto e-bikes.
11/18/2020 5:00 PM
35 Why are the trails closed that connects Marron Rd between College and El Camino Why is the
trail locked and closed that Connects Haymar. we should be able to run(hike) from College to

deliver when. Beach access, trail and park access and public transportation within Carlsbad
would be my priorities. I'd like a clearer idea of projects that will in fact strat in 2021.

40 There are dangerous sites near my neighborhood that have not been corrected despite several
reviews. Lakeshore Gardens Mobile Home Park has a pedestrian gate opposite Ralph's
shopping center, just south of Poinsettia on Avenida Encinas, with sidewalks, but no safe
connection/path/traffic light/marker to cross the street. Seniors use this area every day and are
at risk crossing Avenida Encinas. A safe way to cross the street there should be included in
the plan. Also, using the now fenced area on Poinsettia at Avenida Encinas should be part of
the rail trail with public access. Please include these two items in the new plan, and please
make it happen for the benefit of all the residents who live and walk here. Thank you.
11/14/2020 8:03 AM
41 It is vitally important for the City’s efficient and effective traffic & mobility system, particularly
public safety and reduction of commuter frustration & stress, that College Blvd. be completed
ASAP.
11/13/2020 8:50 AM
42 Consider seniors who reside homes in District 2 who would prefer alternative means of
transportation such as shuttles or energy-efficient experimental vehicles to downtown Carls
bad or the Palomar Airport. Also consider the safety of seniors using golf carts or other
mobilized vehicles.
11/13/2020 8:39 AM
43 As a full-time bicycle and walking commuter these plans actually matter to me, and I was
glazing over about one slide through the .pdf. It would seem naive to think community
members that don't have the same motivations would be interested in investing in the research
needed to adequately answer this survey.
11/12/2020 8:27 PM
44 I enjoy walking, but, when I need to get somewhere I prefer driving. This plan is a waste of

45 The planned improvements sound wonderful. I would also suggest more bike racks plus
ebike/scooter charging stations. I am very supportive of the plans for The Village, Barrio and
Grand Ave. It would be good if the city would coordinate with NCTD for better cleanliness and
safety at the train stations and on the buses and trains.
11/12/2020 3:11 PM
46 These options are not practical for the elderly 11/12/2020 1:06 PM
47 Transit use is lead by the convenience of schedules and frequency of the service. Access
won't improve use if service remains infrequent.

barely move the needle in terms of changing how people travel. Electric vehicles will do the
most to reduce greenhouse gases, not biking.

52 there is no comments for state street fast traffic, laguna street fast traffic and minimal stop
signs to stop cars and allow for someone to run across the street..... All intersections on state

54 I find the report hard to read. It seems filled with platitudes and I hope it will still allow for
parking access to shops and businesses. And now being closer in age to the 80 years group
and not the 8 year old group, I find the hills harder to navigate for sustained walking. I did not
see the inclusion of benches or seating areas where the pedestrian could sit and catch her
breath while walking approx. 2 miles to shops. I live in Aviara. Specifically why is a complete
sidewalk with benches along Alga Road not a higher priority? Also the sidewalk along El
Camino Real near La Costa is not complete. The flashing lights for pedestrian crossings is a
real improvement. For the arterial safety should demand that the bike lanes be hardened to
protect cyclists from cars and not just painted lanes or the stamp on the lane of a bike
indicating mixed use as one sees along parts of 101 in Encinitas.

55 Concerned about resident input for Village Transportation Hub and the lack of residents
representing residents in the Stakeholder Advisory.
11/10/2020 7:19 PM
56 Myopic plan without consideration of the needs of small businesses. Any input from SANDAG,
a corrupt organization with impractical views of excessive taxation to institute idealistic,
impractical totalitarian views on the city. From all the small business owners in Carlsbad
California, you forget that most of our employees can’t afford to live in this area. Having an
ideal transportation plan within a city that is surrounded by other cities that may not share this
ideal, only further drives up costs or cripples small businesses by forcing employees from
outside the city to pay higher taxes to drive their own cars or take mass transit which is not
only unsafe but extremely inefficient. Fact is most people aren’t going read this. I am for
freedom of choice not for being forced into moving about the city in the way that only idealists
and those contractors/profiteers sell to us as correct and there’s a line with is inline with their
distorted vision.

59 Connections need to be more than lines on paper. The experience for the pedestrian on those
connections is important. Is it level for walking, are there trees or other pedestrian-scale
amenties, are there places to stop/sit, and does it provide an alternative that is attractive and
easy enough to make it a preference over driving?
11/10/2020 1:53 PM
60 Disagree with delay in completing the dedicated trail for pedstrians & bikes along the railroad
tracks. Safety from cars & dedicated path across the City should be done now. Also trenching
the railroad tracks across downtown and Tamerack would enhance quality of living

66 You can't really plan how people will ever use public transit or how they travel. Just work on
improving traffic flow for congested signals and intersections and let people travel when and
how they prefer. Stop the pitch about safety, I'll look out for myself. And really, climate change
proposals are not a reality. Just enforce laws that help prevent pollution which will help clean
up the environment.
11/10/2020 8:44 AM
67 Please provide few roundabouts in La costa Ave From El Camino to RSF. You have done a
good job of adding bike lanes , but is still not safe as many cars speed up in La Costa Ave ,
they do not adhere to speed limits. By adding roundabouts it will help to regulate traffic to go
slower. You specifically need a round about at entrance of Paseo Del Norte Apt complex and
one in front of Marbella both are in 2400-2500 block of La Costa Ave.
11/10/2020 7:02 AM
68 we need more dedicated bike paths away from transit. What is being done to enhance the trails
to rail?
11/10/2020 6:47 AM
69 I just watched the video you recommended and it did nothing to let me know about the
questions above. My recommendations: 1) Cross walks at Tamarack and Carlsbad Blvd (Hwy
1) should allow for diagonal crossing reducing the time required for pedestrians to cross. This
is what is available at two crosswalks further north on Hwy 1; and maximize the train track
under level street distance;
11/10/2020 5:17 AM
70 I would still need my car to get around. Since electric cars and hybrids which don’t pollute are
quickly becoming the norm, much of this plan is a huge waste of taxpayers’ money.

74 1 in 5 of the walkers and cyclists have a Hearing loss according to Johns Hopkins Study. It
would benefit Carlsbad to implement the Hearing Awareness Symbol that could with licensing
be placed on the trails and walks for safety and worn by those who have a hearing loss.
Contact Teresa Barnes RN @760.717.8190 or TBarnes@HearCommunication.com. Mayor
Hall. Keith Blackburn, Cori Schumacher and Dr. Patel have all been presented with this
concept. As well as Jason Haber.

75 DO NOT make the same mistake as Encinitas with the disaster of the cycle traps on coast
highway south of Chesterfield Drive. The cycle traps have made the area MORE dangerous, a
nightmare to maneuver and an eyesore. Focus on lane diets and stripping but NOT curbs or
other 'traffic furniture' that makes it even more dangerous for cyclists.
11/9/2020 7:50 PM
76 The trail network has been talked about for a while, wouldn't take as much to improve as other
aspects, should be higher in the priority.

77 Makes parking for people who work in the village area harder to park, and parking is far away

79 It doesn't appear Olivenhain Road has been addressed. That is a very dangerous and scary
stretch to walk along to get to the forum. I would like to see a pathway developed from La

the Forum shops etc.

80 Plan is not ambitious to shift well-establish habits. In order to challenge established new
behavior, new transportation options need to exceed in value, recreation and convenience
existing solution. Small improvement will have minimal impact.
11/9/2020 6:37 PM
81 Regardless the plan; the first step is to ban long hour / overnight street parking. City needs to
mandate parking requirements to all new development. Too many people and businesses use
street as their permanent parking options. Build a good parking structure in the Village. I like
the master development plan you recently presented. But we will need more parking. Please
start a street parking permit program for residents who must park on street like A Permit in
San Diego. That will fund some parking related costs. Once we solve parking issue, it will be
easier to plan bike lanes etc. I would love to see a good bike lanes but not with current street
parking situation. It’s too dangerous to ride a bike as there are too many residents and tourists
fighting over a parking spot.
11/9/2020 6:28 PM
82 We need to put in place incentives and move our city transportation to an electric vehicle
format. Incentives need to be put in place that encourages electric vehicles and EV charging
stations.in all of our communities, every section of our city of Carlsbad.
11/9/2020 6:10 PM
83 I hope we can safely connect our trails via pedestrian and bike lanes. I really like how well the
city of Irvine has connected systems of trail of trails and all modes of transport safely , not to
mention Irvine Open Spaces !
11/9/2020 5:55 PM
84 We are pleased with Carlsbad roads as it is. There are enough waking trails and the cyclists
take over the road every weekend. There needs to enforcement of current speeding and noise
pollution ordinances in Carlsbad. Motorcycles race up and down Carlsbad Blvd and endanger
pedestrians in the neighborhood trying to cross the street legally. Now electric bikes are
speeding through interesections on Ponto, Poinsettia and La Costa Avenue. These corrections
need to be addressed before more bike trails and roundabouts are installed. Just look south to
Encinitas and the traffic congestion and confusion they have caused.

2 We need systems to improve the way we pay for the use of parking and roads (Road Use
Charge, "RUC" Systems.) Parking should be value-priced with congestion pricing algorithms
when needed; shared; fully automated, meaning all money flow and guiding the driver to the
parking spot that best meets the driver's walk-cost specification, and earns money for those
losing money because the parking is being provided or for those for whom the parking is built.
For example, employee parking should be operated for the financial gain of the employees.
(They could be their own customer or not.) Email mike_bullock@earthlink.net for more details.
My system has been peer-reviewed by both the AWMA and at the EUEC.

elsewhere. As much as you want to encourage cycling, it just isn't feasible.
11/22/2020 3:39 PM
7 With Covid and future virus.. public transportation would be open air buses. That should be
last! We need to focus on Safe bike lanes. Coastal rail trail. More cross walks. And E-bike
lanes... E bikes are a new hazard and the kids riding them do not know the laws of the road.
Ideally taking a lane from I5 and converting it to bikes and walking!

9 Safe routes to Magnolia, Valley and Carlsbad HS schools: Valley St, between Chestnut and
Magnolia is a disaster. The street is barely wide enough for two vehicles, and here is no
sidewalk, but, rather a tar path that allows cars and children pass within inches of each other
every day. There are no lines on the street. Secondly, the most important improvement to
Magnolia School is not being implemented. A pedestrian entrance to the school should be
facilitated from Valley Street because children making their approach from the west (Valley and
Magnolia) are made to cross two different driveway ingress/egress points where cars and
children navigate a dangerous pattern every school day. A new water drainage path was cut
and poured, but no a pedistrian path.

13 I initially thought Safe Routes to School should be prioritized, however the reality is that
students are always going to take the fastest path, and in many cases there are no real
alternatives. In addition, Carlsbad roads are already wide and well developed; Whether talking
about Sage Creek High School, Avaiara Oaks Middle School, or Poinsettia Elementary,
students already have safe routes to school. I think that the facilition of groups for carpooling
is a great idea, but outside of that the Safe Routes to School program should be considered
low priority; Why spend time surveying parents when there are no plans for change in
infrastructure primarily related to school routes?
11/19/2020 12:23 PM
14 The plan shows a high number of people using transit coming south from the Oceanside area.
Presently, it takes 1.5 hours to travel from Oceanside to El Camino/Palomar Airport road. It
seems like there should be Bus Rapid Transit to address that, as opposed to the rapid transit
planned from the East. As someone coming from the North, I would *never* abandon a 20-30
minute car commute in favor of 1.5 hour bus commute.

21 Regularly scheduled energy-efficient shuttles for seniors and others to Mira Costa College. 11/13/2020 8:42 AM
22 Bike lanes are great, but mostly ignored by vehicular traffic. Not intentionally, just not a priority
when traveling 30+ miles per hour (Jefferson/Carlsbad Village Dr., PCH to O-Side) for example)
Protected bike lanes and off street walking paths are the only safe way to actively prevent
accidents on those routes which are essential for travel from one part of Carlsbad to another or
neighboring communities. Safe Streets routes work! If there is enforcement, speed reductions
and even added stop signs. Even simple, passive enforcement like ticketing vehicles parked
across bike lanes or sidewalks can be effective. Many bicycle/car accidents happen when a
bike is forced into a moving traffic lane by a parked car.

high school and elementary and junior high) has NO traffic speed. They cannot enforce the 25
mph according to the police department.

30 Far too much cycling and narrowing of road ways.11/11/2020 11:40 AM
31 There needs to be a recognition of the distinct difference between cycling for fitness/exercise
vs. cycling as an alternative to vehicular travel. They are not the same and should not be
treated the same way. Also, not all cyclists are comfortable in the same way with the
alternatives provided.

50 decibel hearing loss. Let’s be the first in the nation to do this, attract more hearing impaired
tourist (it’s 20% of the USA population) with spending power of $1.7 trillion dollars.
40 The SMART cycling class offered by San Diego Bicycle Coalition should be talk to cyclists
and drivers alike.
11/9/2020 7:52 PM
41 It is also important to educate drivers to other road users. I have never seen police enforcing
bad behavior against pedestrians and cycling... There is a long way for cyclist and pedestrians
to feel safe around cars
11/9/2020 6:40 PM
42 Please reconsider sidewalk rule. Can you allow mechanical (old fashioned) bicycles to ride on
sidewalk as long as it’s going slow and yield to pedestrians? Some streets are full of tourists
making sudden moves, not paying attention to bike riders, groups of competitive road cyclist
on tight jerseys, and electric bikes - many are rental, going 30 mph and often not knowing
where they are going. People with slow bikes should be allowed to ride on sidewalks.
11/9/2020 6:35 PM
43 Need education on electrification of our transportation systems..from city and school buses. to
electric motorbikes,scooters and bicycles with convenient EV charging stations.
11/9/2020 6:15 PM
44 Current traffic codes and violations need to be enforced by Carlsbad police. The bus system
works well, is always on time, but is not utilized. Educating cyclists not to run traffic lights
would help avoid accidents. Most ignore the traffic lights on Carlsbad Boulevard and now the
popularity of electric bikes have exaccerbated the problem. Pedestrians are not safe in the
crosswalks, even when using the "walk" signals.

3 Implement a good car-parking system. Talk to Economics Professor Dr. Lawson Remer who is
the BOS D3-elect. She has Dividend Account Parking (DAP) in her first 100 day plan.
Employees and driving-age students that get to the school without driving should get the same
financial gain (down to the penny) from the parking that has been built for them. Money
matters. Choice matters. More staff and students biking to the school will make biking safer.
When parking is priced (the needed system is much more than just priced) there is a dramatic
drop in the use of the Single Occupancy Vehicle (SOV) mode.

11/15/2020 10:28 AM
21 Walking the actual routes is imperative. If the route is safe 9 out of ten intersections but not
the 10th, it would lead pedestrians/cyclists into danger zones. For example when a bicycle
lane route disappears in a high traffic zone, after being designated by signage and bike lanes
as safe route. Carlsbad Village Drive heading east from Georgina Cole is a good example of
this. Cars routinely travel at 50 MPH at the top of the hill, and the bike lane disappears right
before a significant corner. Vehicles no longer have a lane to observe, and cyclists who've
already navigated around the corner are not visible.

31 I live Spinnaker Point and drive along El Camino at school time and Carlsbad Village drive. I
feel that El Camino and Carlsbad right lane going East is dangerous for everyone. There needs
to be some type of speed bump to slow cars down and BIG Pedestrians Crossing Lights.
Today a truck with a large cable pulled out from the left parking construction site and charged
into the right lane to close in the front of my car. If he had braked I would have hit him. If I
were a child coming home on a bike then it would have been a death or a very serious injury.
The same applies to Chestnut and El Camino. There needs to be some type of slowing
mechanism for cars at that time of day. It is a blind spot and cars are going at 50 to 60 miles
per hour. Dove School has Deaf Child near but what about the hard of hearing ones. Why do
they need to relate to this symbol it’s none inclusive. They hear why not implement the
Hearing Awareness Symbol to empower and also for safety. So car drivers and others can see
that they cannot hear a beep or shout from behind. Hard of hearing are not deaf and deserve to
be helped and understood and protected as well.

3 I had to pick "subsidizing incentives", even though what we really need to do is to stop
subsidizing driving. The cost of parking is included in rent, for example. This is true even if the
residents don't happen to drive or own a car. Just $50 per month could put food on the table for
some residents. Our leaders and consultants are so rich they can't imagine that some people
would love to own and park less cars if they could get paid for it at the fair rate. This is just
one example. Parking is expensive to provide. It lowers wages. It increases the cost of
everything, including food. The gas tax does not cover the cost of operating roads. The gas
tax will raise less due to CAFE and electrification. The gas tax is regressive. It would be
possible to design a road use charge (RUC) that would be progressive and cover the full costs.
It would replace the gas tax.

support opening Marron between El Camino Real and College, Open Haymar from El Camino
Real to College, open up Cannon behind the Sage Creek HS to Shadowridge/Lake. Widen El
Camino Real at Jackspar now ( do not wait for developer funding as we need relief asap). Open

24 Bike sharing and scooter sharing in the bigger cities seem to be an issue both for the city and

40 The sidewalk gaps prevent not just transit but exercise in the outer areas many of which LACK
LIGHTING which if the sidewalks were installed still will deter runners and walkers when dark
for visual acuity and personal safety. El Fuerte in particular is avoided after dark yet could be a
significant access avenue. Also cars speed down between Alga and Poinsettia (60+mph)
making crossing it like running the bulls at Pamploma! Micromobility might work in the city
center if adequate bike lanes are available. Other cities I visited had bikes and scooters on
sidewalks when roadways were not converted to protected space.

particularly if it is open air, vs. a standard bus, at least for short distances. This could be very
effective in the village area. Also, care must be taken with the pedestrian experience at the

53 Again 20% of the population is hard of hearing yet there are no visuals for safety like the
hearing awareness symbol from HearCommunication.com a local business. Nor are there any
visuals on public transportation to let one know when the next stop is. This increases the
stress and anxiety level of those with a hearing loss and furthers seniors isolation as they
cannot hear when the next stop is and the drivers are clueless that younger people have
hearing loss as well.
11/9/2020 8:48 PM
54 Low cost sustainable measures will help 11/9/2020 6:55 PM
55 Enforce setback rules so we can build safe sidewalks. For example, the house on south east
corner of Laguna Dr. and Roosevelt has fences and structures built out to where there should
be a sidewalk. As a result, people with baby and wheelchairs are forced to walk on narrow
street with no protection. Lots of people walk in the area including myself as it’s close to post
office, parks, Village and beach. Please please build a side walk on that intersection in front of
that house which is a short term rental.

3 I think it takes a professional in this field to answer some of these questions.11/24/2020 2:58 PM
4 This plan is so complex and shows a great effort to include so many relevant factors and I
totally admire the plan but could not give it the top grades because I would need much more
time and concentration to understand all the implications. More emphasis on future
improvements in transportation did not get enough attention eg Elon Musks' plans for providing
EV taxi services on a huge level. More regulation for this type of services need to be studied
and in place as these services emerge. Being a member of the retirement population, I felt that
SMP did not address the needs of my population in any detail other than van sharing. There a
planning committee for positive aging in Carlsbad (or some name similar) that has some
plans/issues for the needs of seniors along with a board for seniors to post concerns. I
encourage SMP committee to meet with that group to make a more significant plan for a group
that is growing larger. I like the cycling ideas but think that SMP to study foreign cities with a
huge cycling population which appears to overwhelm the car traffic. If the cycling program is
very successful there will need to be a Plan B for widening the lanes which seem to be too
narrow as it is. The photos show two or so bikers which is an unrealistic image. I think the
routs would be overcrowded in very few years. Having used bicycle routes in other cities I see
the need for bike safety, in particular from other bikers who cycle too fast and close to other
less athletic cyclers. Because of some unfortunate experiences with such dangerous
behaviors I no longer bike on roads. I'm wondering if there should be license plates for bikes so
those breaking the laws could be held accountable. Overall the plan has many strength and my
negative comments are more suggestions to an overall very good plan and I am impressed
with all the people who contributed to it.

7 Please survey the residents of these neighborhoods about what we actually need. We may not
want to have everything that is recommended. In some cases it may not make sense to have

not pedestrian friendly as noted but let's be smart about our investments- not everything needs

unbundled parking, with "unbundled parking" defined by CAPCOA. The CAPCOA definition is
poor and that is not the way to reform parking. However, I agree that we must recognize that
there is no such thing as "free parking". I imagine very few Carlsbad residents know that the
City signed off on a CAP that did away with "free" parking for employees in Carlsbad. It was
the right thing to do but the CAPCOA method is a very poor way to price parking. The DAP
system is much better. Email mike_bullock@earthlink.net for details on DAP.

19 I did not read every chapter, but I have noticed several accidents with motorized bikes and
pedestrians. Is this addressed in the plan, possibly limiting speeds or designating separate
lanes for regular bikes and motorized bikes? If you already addressed this please excuse my
comment. I don't have a solution, just see it as a problem as I see more and more motorized
bikes in bike lanes.

21 Widen sidewalks and allow bikes traveling 20 mph or slower to use sidewalks. Encourage self-
driving car/bus operators to experiment in Carlsbad. A self-driving ~6 person van would get
people closer to their ultimate destination and faster than current bus routes allow. The self-
driving feature should (hopefully) make the trip as cheap or cheaper than current bus fares.

23 Please don't spend a lot of the city's money on "use busses/bikes instead of cars!"
promotions. These transportation modes are not practical for the majority of us. On a similar
note, please stop converting existing car lanes & parking spaces into bike lanes. If you can
add a bike lane to an existing roadway (or plan a bike lane into a new road project) that's great,
but the majority of adults in Carlsbad drive CARS, so that's where the priority should be
(especially for busy streets). I do support teaching bike safety skills to children via bike
rodeos, etc. Giving kids safe places to bike is important. This is because biking is the only
method of transportation children have. But adults normally use cars. In other words... - Kids
bike a lot, and we should ensure they can do it safely. - Some adults bike for leisure, and we
should provide safe and pretty places for them to do that as well (pretty bike paths near nature
for example). - Very few adults bike for their commute... and we shouldn't waste city funds on
programs trying to convince people who drive now that they need to bike or ride the bus to
work. Work is just too far away for that to be practical for most of us.

11/18/2020 6:24 PM
33 There are areas of Carlsbad that are filled with hills and this makes it more challenging to walk
or bike in order to fulfill daily trips such as shopping, getting to school, the pharmacy, etc. This
should be taken into consideration when considering the sustainable mobility plan. The city
should also consider where grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, etc. are placed. If they
are closer to homes (the village is a great example!) there would be a need for fewer and
shorter trips.

37 Reality is that without school buses for Carlsbad kids, parents cannot drop kids off to school
and bike to work. Also, until many of the commuter trails are off the roadway away from cars,
safety will always be a giant problem.
11/16/2020 6:27 PM
38 I think if these trails along the 78, Haymar and Marron and along the back of the Malls and the
Lagoon along Jefferson was open to pedestrians and bikes there would be a lot of demand. I

the value. It's geographically flatter and easier to navigate. Other options have more hills.
These trails already exist between El Camino and College and shouldn't be locked up and
closed down. Some water would have to be mitigated but only during high rains. Quarry Creek
has already improved portions and locked up the western area.

11/13/2020 8:49 AM
44 Connecting walking/biking lanes so there are not gaps is essential for making any mobility plan
effective. People will not travel routes that do not feel safe at a given spot preventing them
from getting to the final destination. Nor will kids learn from their parents this type of travel is
possible if they don't feel safe. Enforcement of vehicles creating unsafe situations would help
immediately. Waiting until after there is an accident isn't helpful to either the pedestrian or the
driver. Protected bike lanes! I can't stress it enough how much it helps in other cities, even
ones like Chicago where the traffic is crazy. Some sort of barrier between cars and
pedestrians.
11/12/2020 8:46 PM

72 I know the Cannon extension into Oceanside was abandoned, but the City should reconsider
and even consider it as a toll-based project similar to what Oceanside did when it extended
College Avenue over the San Luis Rey river to North River Road. We should be diverting the
Carlsbad business park traffic that congests ECR and College onto Cannon toward Melrose as
most these folks are heading to the SR78 to travel to San Marcos, Escondido, and Riverside
County. Let's move them out of our city quickly to improve the quality of mobility for our own

and buses are not going to solve anything. In addition, the buses are all empty! Why are you
adding more buses when only a small percentage of the population uses them? It would be
much less expensive to give the few regular riders a prepaid card for uber or lyft. Buses are
not the answer. We can’t go grocery shopping on a bus. We need less people reproducing.
