Background Attachment A, which is a Council Memorandum dated Oct. 1, 2020, provides the background for both projects. During the City Council Meeting on Feb. 11, 2021, a Council Member requested an update on these projects. Discussion Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project On April 6, 2020, staff presented the Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project to the Traffic and Mobility Commission, who voted unanimously to support staff's recommendation to implement the project. The engineering design of the project is nearing completion and is expected to be completed in spring 2021. A city webpage is currently active to provide information to the public, available in the following link: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/pw/traffic/trafficcircles.asp. Also, a bilingual newsletter was distributed to residents in the area by mail, on the city website, via email and promoted on the NextDoor application last November (Attachment B). Additionally, Public Works staff are working with the Library & Cultural Arts and Parks & Recreation Departments to facilitate installation of public art in the center of the proposed traffic circle at Oak Avenue and Roosevelt Street. Staff are also working with San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) to provide electrical service to the proposed lighting which will be constructed with the improvements. Barrio Lighting Project Phase 1 of the Barrio Lighting project will install 14 streetlights throughout the Barrio to address areas with lighting deficiency. The engineering work for this phase of the project was completed in late 2020. The work was publicly bid, and a construction contract is currently Public Works Branch Transportation Department 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 760-602-2730 t Council Memo -Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update (District 1) Feb. 19,2021 Page 2 being executed within the City Manager's authority. The construction contract is expected to be awarded in March 2021. A city webpage regarding the Barrio Lighting Project is available in the following link: https:ljwww.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/pw/traffic/trafficcircles.asp. An update on this project was also included in the newsletter in Attachment B. Phase 2 of the project includes design and construction of pedestrian lighting throughout the Barrio. A phasing plan has been developed to allow the city to fund and construct pedestrian lighting over several fiscal years. Phase 2A will install pedestrian lighting on both sides of Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Avenue. This street was identified in the Village and Barrio Master Plan as a key pedestrian thoroughfare between the Village and the Barrio. Preliminary layout and design of Phase 2A has been completed. Next Steps Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project Staff anticipates finalizing the project plans and specifications and obtaining the necessary SDG&E approval by spring 2021. Prior to that, a second round of public outreach will include another newsletter distributed by mail, on the city website, via email and promoted on the NextDoor application. In mid-2021, staff plans to return to City Council with a request to approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for construction bids. After the bidding process is completed, staff will return to City Council to request award of a construction contract, which is expected to be in fall 2021. Construction notices will be distributed by mail, email, social media, website and using door hangers, which are expected to go out in late fall 2021, prior to the start of construction. Barrio Lighting Project A construction contract will be executed for Phase 1 of the project in the next couple of weeks. Staff anticipates construction will begin in the next couple of months. Construction notices will be distributed by mail, email, social media, website and using door hangers, which are expected to go out in March 2021. For Phase 2 of the project, additional funding will be requested as part of the fiscal year 2021-22 CIP Budget development process. This funding will be spread over the next four fiscal years. For Phase 2A, which includes pedestrian lighting along Roosevelt Street, focused public feedback will be requested prior to finalizing the layout and engineering design. This public outreach process will be completed by fall 2021. After the public has provided their input on the pedestrian lighting in the Barrio, final engineering and SDG&E coordination will be Council Memo -Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update (District 1) Feb. 19, 2021 Page 3 completed.

Background On June 18, 2019, City Council approved an amended minute motion for staff to bring back a report on the status of the Village and Barrio Traffic Circles CIP project. At the same meeting, City Council approved a minute motion to prioritize the Barrio Lighting CIP project. On Sept. 17, 2019, staff provided City Council an informational presentation on the projects' status, which included anticipated timelines. Both projects are currently funded in the city's CIP and are in progress. Additional background information is provided below: Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project On July 24, 2018, City Council adopted the Village and Barrio Master Plan (Master Plan). On Aug. 27, 2019, City Council approved the Master Plan with the modifications proposed by the California Coastal Commission. In October 2019, the California Coastal Commission formally approved the Master Plan. The Master Plan includes several recommendations to create a more walkable arid safer Village and Barrio neighborhood. One of the recommendations is to install traffic circles at specific intersections as traffic calming features and beautification opportunities in the Village and Barrio area. By removing pavement in the center of the intersection, traffic circles will provide landscaping, decorative treatments and public art opportunities. Eight traffic circle locations are identified in the Master Plan, which are: • Oak Avenue and Roosevelt Street • Oak Avenue and Jefferson Street • Pine Avenue and Madison Avenue • Pine Avenue and Harding Street • Chestnut Avenue and Roosevelt Street Public Works Branch 1635 Faraday Avenue I Carlsbad, CA 92008 I 760-602-2730 Council Memo-Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update Oct. 1, 2020 Page 2 • Chestnut Avenue and Madison Avenue • Palm Avenue and Harding Street • Magnolia Avenue and Madison Street On Nov. 19, 2019, City Council authorized execution of an agreement with Chen Ryan Associates, Inc. for conducting a feasibility analysis and engineering design of the traffic circles. Barrio Lighting Project Enhancing safety and facilitating neighborhood walkability by improving the pedestrian experience are priorities for the Barrio neighborhood. One way to help achieve this goal is to improve lighting in the Barrio area. Street-level lighting is mounted on 24-foot poles, which enhances safety by improving visibility for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Th is lighting helps to identify and avoid potential hazards, primarily within the street footprint. Pedestrian scale lighting is mounted on shorter, 13-foot poles, which facilitate neighborhood walkability by providing more focused lighting on walkways. Pedestrian lighting helps people feel more secure in their surroundings and creates a sense of neighborhood continuity. Both types of lighting will be installed as part of the Barrio Lighting project. As presented during the Sept. 17, 2019, City Council meeting, the project is being designed and constructed in two phases. Phase 1 is expedited and implemented to address concerns received from the community, prior to the comprehensive lighting design for the e.ntire Barrio neighborhood. Phase 2 will comprehensively analyze, design and construct be.th street and pedestrian light ing for the entire Barrio area. Discussion Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project As the feasibility study for the Village and Barrio Traffic Circles project progressed, one of the conclusions was that a traffic circle in the existing right of way would not effectively control vehicular speed at the two following locations: • Palm Avenue and Harding Street • Magnolia Avenue and Madison Street Staff proposed alternative traffic calming measures at those two intersections, which will include median islands, pedestrian refuges and horizontal deflection of the vehicular lanes. On April 6, 2020, staff presented the results of the feasibility study, along with the proposed alternative traffic calming measures for the two aforementioned locations to the.Traffic and MobiliW Commission (commission). The commission unanimously voted to support staff's recommendations to implement the project as proposed. Based on the results of the feasibility Council Memo-Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update Oct. 1, 2020 Page 3 study and support of the commission, the project team has moved forward to finalize the engineering designs for the project. Currently, the Public Works Branch project team is working with the Library and Cultural Arts and Parks and Recreation Departments to facilitate installation of public art and landscaping in the center of the proposed traffic circle at Oak Avenue and Roosevelt Street. The project team is also partnering with the Carlsbad Municipal Water District to relocate water mains and valves to avoid conflicts with the traffic circles and to replace old infrastructure including water services and water meters. In addition, any sewer system in conflict with the project improvements will be addressed. Barrio Lighting Project Phase 1 of the Barrio Lighting project will install 16 streetlights throughout the Barrio to . address areas with lighting deficiency. The lighting locations for Phase 1 were identified by analyzing spacing among the existing streetlights, which were field-verified by an engineering consultant. In the process of selecting Phase 1 street lighting locations, priority was given to the areas identified as deficient compared to the city's engineering standards and based on comments received from the community. Of the 16 new streetlights included in Phase 1, six will be installed with new concrete poles and ~O will be mounted on existing utility poles that are owned and maintained by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). Mounting streetlights on existing poles is a cost-effective strategy to provide new lighting, however, it requires increased coordination with SDG&E. Due to a new SDG&E review process and other challenges, there has been a delay in SDG&E's approval of the 10 streetlights on existing poles, which has subsequently impacted Phase l's timeline. Staff is currently working with SDG&E to receive their final work orders for the last two locations of the 10 streetlights. C.urrently, the Phase 1 plans, specifications and cost estimates are being reviewed by the project team. After staff's final review, the Phase 1 project is expected to be advertised for construction bids by the end of 2020. Since the estlmated cost of the construction contract is less than $200,000,.award of the construction contract is expected to be within the City Manager's authority. Following the guidance of the Master Plan, the Barrio Lighting Project includes a phasing plan that prioritizes installation of pedestrian lighting based on factors such as level of pedestrian activity and proximity to public facilities. This phasing plan will allow the city to fund and construct pedestrian lighting in the Barrio area over several fiscal years. As part of the fiscal year 2021-22 CIP Budget development process, staff will develop a funding strategy for future phases of pedestrian lighting in the Barrio. Council Memo -Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update Oct. 1, 2020 Page 4 The initial phase, called Phase 2A, includes design and construction of pedestrian lighting on both sides of Roosevelt Street from Carlsbad Village Drive to Magnolia Avenue. This street was identified in the Master Plan as a key pedestrian thoroughfare between the Village and the Barrio. Preliminary design of Phase 2A has been completed, and final plans, specifications and cost estimates are expected to be completed by the end of 2020. Future phases will include Madison Street, Harding Street and Magnolia Avenue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the projects' community outreach approach has been revisited and outreach for both projects has been combined. Over the next few months, staff will be implementing a neighborhood-focused outreach, which will include a newsletter, informational videos, a project-specific webpage and social media posts. Content will be available in both English and Spanish and is expected by the end of October 2020. Next Steps Village and Barrio Traffic Circles Project Staff anticipates finalizing the project plans and specifications and obtaining the necessary environmental authorization by the end of 2020. Staff pla.ns to return to City Council in early 2021 with a request to approve the plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for construction bids. After the bidding process is completed, staff will return to City Council to request award of a construction contract. Construction is estimated to begin in m_id-2021. Barrio Lighting Project For Phase 1 of the project, staff plans to finalize the plans, specifications and cost estimates in the next month. It is estimated that the construction bidding process will be completed by the end of 2020 and construction will begin in early 2021. For Phase 2A of the project, which includes pedestrian lighting along Roosevelt Street, the plans, specifications and cost estimates are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2020. In early 2021, Phase 2A of the project will be brought to City Council for approval and authorization to bid. Staff anticipates returning to City Council to request award of a construction contract in mid-2021. Construction is estimated to begin in late summer 2021. Future phases of the Barrio Lighting Project will include pedestrian lighting along Madison Street, Harding Street and Magnolia Ave. These phases are expected to be funded and constructed as part of future CIP budgeting processes. cc: Scott Chadwick, City Manager Celia Brewer, City Attorney Gary Barberio, Deputy City Manager, Community Services Laura Rocha, Deputy City Manager, Administrative Services Tom Frank, Transportation Director David Graham, Chief Innovation Officer Jeff Murphy, Community Development Director Council Memo -Village and Barrio Traffic Circles and Barrio Lighting Projects Update Oct. 1, 2020 Page 5 Kristina Ray, Communication and Engagement Director Hossein Ajideh, Engineering Manager Jonathan Schauble, Senior Engineer Creating the Future Together Over the next 12 to 18 months, two major infrastructure improvement projects are being planned in the Barrio.

Highlighting Values and History through Art An exciting feature will be added to the proposed traffic circle at the Oak Avenue and Roosevelt Street intersection. The city's Cultural Arts Office will facilitate the installation of public art to welcome residents and visitors alike to this distinct neighborhood. The city's public art program follows a set of policies and procedures that guide the entire process, from forming a public art selection committee, to final installation and maintenance of the works of art. A key component of Carlsbad's program is an emphasis on community dialogue throughout the process. By providing input and sharing perspectives the community helps ensure artwork is integrated into the physical and social environment of the city and reflects the community's interests. Creating thoughtful relationships between public space and art, while preserving Carlsbad's distinct heritage and cultural identity is an ongoing priority. The city's public art program is created in the community's interest and designed to create exciting aesthetic experiences that engage Carlsbad's community, as well as giving people a sense of place that's welcoming to this distinctive area. The next step is the release of a Request for Qualifications to artists interested in creating unique artwork for the traffic circle. Watch for more opportunities to share your vision for public art in the Barrio. Un e/emento interesante sera propuesto para la g/orieta p/aneada para la interseccion de Oak Avenue y Roosevelt Street.
