Background On Jan. 21, 2021, Carlsbad City Council adopted a resolution adopting the Carlsbad Sustainable Mobility Plan, or SMP. The SMP presents a comprehensive look at current active travel and access to transit conditions, as well as previous planning efforts to consolidate findings and recommendations into a single master plan document. The SMP was created to help improve transportation-related safety, reduce greenhouse emissions, increase travel choices and implement the goals and policies of the Mobility Element of the city’s General Plan. One of the programmatic recommendations of the SMP was to develop an Active Transportation Monitoring Program that would allow city staff, elected officials, and community members to track changes in travel behavior over time and especially in relation to the implementation of active travel and transit infrastructure projects. The active travel monitoring framework is intended to establish a data collection and analysis program that will enable tracking progress toward key goals related to Vehicle Miles Traveled, or VMT, reduction, active travel and transit ridership encouragement, and by extension, Greenhouse Gas, or GHG, generated through automobile travel. The data collected as part of the active transportation monitoring program will also enhance the success of grant applications by giving city staff the necessary information to estimate potential active travel and VMT reduction related to the implementation of future active transportation projects. Discussion The purpose of this item is to provide an opportunity for the Parks & Recreation Commission to review and provide feedback on the draft Active Transportation Monitoring Report. The Active Transportation Monitoring Report is intended to be an annual monitoring report that will allow city staff, elected officials, and community members to track changes in travel behavior over time and especially in relation to the implementation of active travel and transit infrastructure projects. The annual updates will allow the city to review how the buildout of the city’s active transportation network effects multimodal travel patterns throughout the city and will provide an understanding of key behavioral shifts resulting from infrastructure investments. 1 of 2 This first annual report will establish the programmatic framework to be used for future reports including a data collection and analysis program that will enable tracking progress toward key goals related to citywide VMT reduction, active travel volumes, transit ridership encouragement, and safety. This program is also intended to supplement data provided in the city’s annual Climate Action Plan. Performance Measures The draft report includes several performance measures for monitoring over time and represent several important transportation system and travel behavior categories including multimodal travel demand, mode share and key safety metrics reported from the city’s Local Roadway Safety Plan. Activity levels by mode is derived from daily traffic counts of people walking, biking, taking transit and driving. These data were also used to calculate travel mode share at each data collection location throughout the city. These metrics are all in alignment with the City’s General Plan Core Value of providing improved travel options for people walking, biking, taking public transportation and enhancing connectivity throughout the City of Carlsbad. Multimodal Traffic Counts The proposed data collection program was driven by multimodal traffic counts that included counts of all travel modes including pedestrians, bicyclists, passenger vehicles, and heavy vehicles at roadway segments or intersections. The multimodal counts were conducted in 12- hr increments from 7a.m. to 7 p.m. and include both a typical weekday (Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday) while school was in session and a Saturday. In addition to the short duration counts as described in the draft report, staff is working to install two permanent counts which will be conducted at up to two locations on Carlsbad Boulevard. This will include one location near the northern city border with Oceanside and one location at the southern border with the City of Encinitas. The continuous counters will be incorporated into the SANDAG Regional Bicycle Counter Network (https://data.eco- counter.com/ParcPublic/?id=681) and will be used by the city to understand daily and seasonal variations and to develop factors for extrapolating short duration counts to average daily counts. Next Steps Staff will incorporate comments received from the Parks & Recreation Commission into the draft report. It is anticipated that the report will then be updated on an annual basis with counts reoccurring in September of each year and the results will be presented to the Traffic and Mobility Commission. In addition, staff is currently working to install permanent bicycle and pedestrian counters at two locations on Carlsbad Boulevard at the north and south ends of the city. Exhibits 1.

This work supports monitoring efforts outlined in Chapter 5 of the City’s Climate Action Plan, as well as helps community members understand the degree of success in achieving the City’s General Plan Mobility Element goals and policies related to livable streets, specifically Core Value 5. The Active Transportation Monitoring Program is organized around three dimensions of mobility - travel demand, mode share, and safety. The assessments in this report focus on these dimensions of mobility for walking, cycling, driving, and riding transit. After this introductory chapter, this report presents the following chapters: • Chapter 2.0 Data Collection Site Selection presents the approach used to identify data collection sites across the City, including comparing various roadway environment characteristics for each site. A final set of 26 data collection sites is presented. • Chapter 3.0 Demand presents count data collected for all four modes during the September and October 2021 period. • Chapter 4.0 Mode Share summarizes mode share at the 26 data collection sites. • Chapter 5.0 Safety reviews collision data for citywide pedestrian–vehicle, bicycle-vehicle, and vehicle-vehicle incidents by frequency and time of data. Summaries of collisions near the Active Transportation Monitoring data collection sites are also presented. • Chapter 6.0 Bicycle Friendly Communities Assessment presents a status report on where the City stands in relation to the aspirational status of Silver or Platinum-ranked Bicycle Friendly Communities. • Chapter 7.0 Conclusions offers a synthesis of findings along with a visual presentation of some key takeaways. Carlsbad General Plan Core Value 5: Walking, Biking, Public Transportation and Connectivity. Increase travel options through enhanced walking, bicycling and public transportation systems. Enhance mobility through increased connectivity and intelligent transportation management. 5 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 5 2.0 Data Collection Site Selection This section describes the selection process for identifying locations across the City of Carlsbad where pedestrian, bicycle, transit and vehicle data would be collected as part of the newly adopted Carlsbad Active Transportation Monitoring Program. This chapter summarizes site selection criteria considered along with the final set of data collection locations. Criteria for Siting Data Collection Locations A preliminary step in the data collection effort was identifying a set of locations that would be representative of the City of Carlsbad’s broader mobility network and reflective of facility characteristics that may influence cycling, walking, transit, and vehicle usage. Table 2.1 shows preliminary siting criteria used to propose and evaluate a preliminary set of data collection locations.

These preliminary count locations were used as a starting point for this current effort. There were a total of twenty-eight data collection sites originally proposed in the SMP, with all sites located along roadway or multi-use path segments, except 3 sites which were located at intersections. The preliminary data collection locations were reviewed by city staff and members of the Traffic and Mobility Commission (TMC). This resulted in some modifications which are presented in Table 2.2 and Figure 2.1. As shown, there are a total of twenty-six final data collection sites, with all sites located along roadway or multi-use path segments.

Tracking travel demand by mode allows for an understanding of key behavioral shifts resulting from infrastructure investments. These data were also used to calculate mode share at each data collection location across the City. Vehicle counts were collected using pneumatic tubes over a 24-hour period on a weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) and a weekend day (Saturday). Bicycle and pedestrian counts were collected using video recording over a 13-hour period on a weekday (Thursday) and again on a weekend day (Saturday). The 13-hour bicycle and pedestrian counts were collected from 6AM to 7PM. Transit ridership was obtained from NCTD for an average day in September and October 2021 for both weekdays and weekends (Saturday). Bus loadings on all bus routes were summed for the roadway segment associated with each data collection location. Pedestrian Counts Table 3.1 shows pedestrian counts for the 26 data collection sites on a weekday and a weekend. As shown, the following sites have the highest 13-hour pedestrian counts on both weekdays and weekends: • Carlsbad Boulevard between Carlsbad Village Drive & Tamarack Avenue, • Carlsbad Boulevard between Cannon Road and Cerezo Drive, and • Poinsettia Lane between Carlsbad Boulevard and Avenida Encinas Each of these high pedestrian count locations is along the coast and has sidewalks in both directions. The lowest weekday and weekend pedestrian count locations include the following: • El Camino Real, between Chestnut Avenue and Tamarack Avenue, • College Boulevard, between Faraday Avenue and Palomar Airport Road, and • Jefferson Street, between I-5 and Marron Road. Each of these data collection sites is located east of Interstate 5. Two of the data collection sites are along high-speed arterials. 11 of 66 C R 3.1 Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 11 Table 3.1 - 13-Hour Weekday and Weekend Pedestrian Counts ID Location 13-Hour Weekday Pedestrian Counts 13-Hour Weekend Pedestrian Counts 4 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave 1,945 4,020 11 Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr 494 806 17 Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 419 750 3 Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St 321 680 5 Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal Rail Trail) 325 355 19 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr 223 391 2 Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout 200 373 18 Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd 147 408 24 Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 257 214 10 Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr 142 315 16 Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real 190 184 25 La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 77 141 9 Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd 99 88 6 Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St 98 82 8 Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr 94 63 12 Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd 76 26 26 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa Ave 43 58 23 El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona 48 51 21 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero 39 44 20 Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St 28 33 22 La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real 18 37 13 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 22 14 15 El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 17 18 1 Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd 17 7 14 College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 12 8 7 El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave 13 6 Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) Figure 3.1 displays the pedestrian count data in a chart format, while Figures 3.2 and Figure 3.3 present weekday and weekend counts, respectively. 12 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 12 Figure 3.1 - 13-Hour Weekday and Weekend Pedestrian Counts Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) -500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 4,500 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal RailTrail) Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La CostaAve El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave Weekday Weekend 13 of 66 C R ■ ■ !

Table 3.2 shows 13-hour bicycle counts on Thursday and Saturday. As shown, the following three data collection sites have the highest weekend and weekday cycling activity: • Carlsbad Boulevard, Avenida Encinas to Pronto Road • Carlsbad Boulevard, Cannon Road to Cerezo Drive, and • Carlsbad Boulevard, Carlsbad Village Drive to Tamarack Avenue Weekend cycling levels along the coast are more than double weekday cycling levels. This magnitude of weekend/weekday difference is not as strong at more inland data collection sites. Interestingly, the weekend coastal cycling demand is higher in the southern portions of the Carlsbad and declines at each data collection station to the north. The three lowest weekday bicycle counts were found at: • Alga Road, El Camino Real to El Fuerte Street • Avenida Encinas, Cannon Road to Palomar Airport Road, and • Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad Boulevard to Avenida Encinas While the three lowest weekend counts were found at: • Alga Road, El Camino Real to El Fuerte Street • Tamarack Avenue, Pio Pico Drive to Valley Street, and • College Boulevard, Faraday Avenue to Palomar Airport Road Figure 3.4 shows a chart of 13-hour bicycle counts by site, while Figures 3.5 and 3.6 show the data in mapped formats. 16 of 66 C R 3.2 Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 16 Table 3.2 - 13-Hour Weekday and Weekend Bicycle Counts ID Location 13-Hour Weekday Bicycle Counts 13-Hour Weekend Bicycle Counts 18 Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd 797 2,509 11 Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr 901 2,089 4 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave 730 1,925 2 Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout 665 1,835 17 Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 355 765 22 La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real 189 703 23 El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona 134 545 5 Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal Rail Trail) 195 291 21 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero 93 359 10 Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr 177 275 19 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr 164 284 16 Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real 119 171 3 Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St 104 166 9 Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd 139 131 8 Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr 108 150 25 La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 50 204 15 El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 84 155 26 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa Ave 60 170 1 Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd 74 96 12 Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd 50 90 13 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 51 79 24 Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 58 70 6 Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St 71 45 14 College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 65 46 7 El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave 58 48 20 Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St 25 31 Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) 17 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 17 Figure 3.4 - 13-Hour Weekday and Weekend Bicycle Counts Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) - 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal Rail Trail) Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa… Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St Weekday Weekend 18 of 66 C R ■ ■ !

Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 24 Vehicle Person Trips Vehicle counts were collected on a single weekday (Thursday) and a single weekend day (Saturday) over 24 hours. Table 3.4 shows 24-hour vehicle counts adjusted using a regional vehicle occupancy rate, which was provided by SANDAG’s most recent model run for the 2021 Regional Plan. The regional vehicle occupancy rate is estimated at 1.38 persons per vehicle. Applying the vehicle occupancy rate to vehicle counts results in “vehicle person trips” or the estimated number of people traveling by car. The three count sites with the highest weekday vehicle person trips are as follows: • Rancho Santa Fe Road, San Elijo Road to Camino Junipero • La Costa Avenue, I-5 to El Camino Real, and • El Camino Real, La Costa Avenue to Calle Barcelona The three count sites with the highest weekend vehicle person trip include: • Rancho Santa Fe Road, San Elijo Road to Camino Junipero • El Camino Real, La Costa Avenue to Calle Barcelona, and • Rancho Santa Fe Road, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa Avenue The three count sites with the lowest weekday and weekend vehicle person trips are as follows: • Kelly Drive, El Camino Real to Hillside Drive • Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Boulevard to Ponto Road, and • Garfield Street, Walnut Avenue to Sycamore Avenue A graphical comparison of these numbers can be seen in Figures 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12. 25 of 66 C R 3.4 Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 25 Table 3.4 - 24-Hour Weekday and Weekend Estimated Vehicle Person Trips ID Location Weekday Vehicle Person Trips Weekend Vehicle Person Trips 21 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero 53,986 49,893 26 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa Ave 46,115 43,311 23 El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona 46,265 39,572 22 La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real 50,105 30,980 15 El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 40,459 28,170 3 Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St 24,092 29,001 7 El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave 26,482 23,479 4 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave 22,330 26,277 2 Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout 19,437 26,441 11 Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr 20,675 23,697 9 Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd 25,449 17,845 18 Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd 13,570 19,415 25 La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 17,446 15,161 20 Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St 14,574 16,450 6 Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St 13,966 13,409 24 Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd 13,571 10,712 16 Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real 16,423 7,304 14 College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd 16,412 7,251 1 Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd 12,388 10,821 13 Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 11,501 10,692 17 Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas 10,035 10,705 10 Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr 8,201 9,677 12 Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd 6,872 5,164 19 Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr 4,332 4,968 8 Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr 5,370 3,787 5 Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal Rail Trail) 1,550 2,214 Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) 26 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 26 Figure 3.10 - 24-Hour Weekday and Weekend Vehicle Person Trips Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 Rancho Santa Fe Rd, San Elijo Rd to Camino Junipero Rancho Santa Fe Rd, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa… El Camino Real, La Costa Ave to Calle Barcelona La Costa Ave, I-5 to El Camino Real El Camino Real, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd Carlsbad Village Dr, Carlsbad Blvd to Harding St El Camino Real, Chestnut Ave to Tamarack Ave Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad Village Dr to Tamarack Ave Carlsbad Blvd N/O State St Roundabout Carlsbad Blvd, Cannon Rd to Cerezo Dr Cannon Rd, El Camino Real to College Blvd Carlsbad Blvd, Avenida Encinas to Ponto Rd La Costa Ave, Cadencia St to Rancho Santa Fe Rd Alga Rd, El Camino Real to El Fuerte St Tamarack Ave, Pio Pico Dr to Valley St Calle Barcelona, El Camino Real to Rancho Santa Fe Rd Poinsettia Ln, Cassia Rd to El Camino Real College Blvd, Faraday Ave to Palomar Airport Rd Jefferson St, I-5 to Marron Rd Palomar Airport Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas Poinsettia Ln, Carlsbad Blvd to Avenida Encinas Cannon Rd, Carlsbad Blvd to El Arbol Dr Avenida Encinas, Cannon Rd to Palomar Airport Rd Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Blvd to Ponto Dr Kelly Dr, El Camino Real to Hillside Dr Garfield St, Walnut Ave to Sycamore Ave (Coastal Rail Trail) Weekday Weekend 27 of 66 C R ■ ■ !

Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 29 4.0 Mode Share This chapter presents a novel approach to mode share tracking focused on a corridor screenline at the data collection locations. For each data collection location, the total person trips was calculated by summing pedestrian, cyclists, vehicle person trips and transit riders during a weekday. Then a mode share was calculated based on each mode’s share of total person trips along the segment. Over time, this measure will allow for tracking how usage is changing as a result of various policies and infrastructure implementation in the City. As shown in Table 4.1, the current weekday vehicle mode share at the data collection sites ranges from a high of 99.6% at two sites, along La Costa Avenue and along Alga Road, to a low of about 75% along Garfield Street/Coastal Rail Trail (Site #5). Weekday transit mode share ranges from a high of 3.7% along Palomar Airport Road, to a low of 0.1% along College Boulevard served by Route 444. Weekday bicycle mode share ranges from a high of 9.6% cycling share along the Coastal Rail Trail (or Garfield Avenue for vehicle person trips) and a low of 0.1% along Rancho Santa Fe Road. Figures 4.1 and 4.2 shows this data in chart and mapped formats. Table 4.2 shows similar mode share data for weekends. The current weekend vehicle mode share at the data collection sites ranges from a high of 99.6% at Alga Road, to a low of about 77% along Garfield Street/Coastal Rail Trail (Site #5). Weekday pedestrian mode share ranges from a high of 15.7% along the Garfield Street/Coastal Rail Trail to no pedestrians at three sites, including both sites along El Camino Real and along La Costa Avenue. Weekend transit mode share ranges from a high of 3.1% along Palomar Airport Road, to a low of 0.1% along Tamarack Avenue served by Route 325. Weekend bicycle mode share ranges from a high of 10.6% of person trips along the Coastal Rail Trail (or Garfield Avenue for vehicle person trips) and a low of 0.2% at two sites along Alga Road and El along Camino Real. Weekend pedestrian mode share ranges from a high of 12.4% along the Garfield Street/Coastal Rail Trail to a low of no pedestrians at along El Camino Real.

The citywide presentation of collisions does not discuss relationships to the Active Transportation Monitoring data collection locations which is reserved for Section 6.3. 5.1 Citywide Collisions A citywide collision dataset was obtained from the City of Carlsbad’s Crossroads database for the most recent complete five-year period, January 2015 – December 2019. A total of 1,683 injury collision records were obtained for the five-year study period, including 108 severe or fatal injury collisions. Pedestrian Collisions Figure 5.1 shows total citywide pedestrian-vehicle collisions during the five-year study period. There were 129 pedestrian collisions, occurring most frequently at intersection locations (62% at intersections or 80 of 129). Intersection collisions were most reported at signalized locations (43 collisions), followed by side-street stop-controlled intersections (28 collisions), with the remaining nine collisions reported at uncontrolled intersections, all-way stop controlled intersections, and roundabout locations. Severe injury and fatal collisions accounted for 19% of pedestrian-involved collisions, the highest rate of all three travel modes (pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle). Drivers were more commonly found to be at-fault for pedestrian collisions at intersections, largely while making left-turns. The locations listed below experienced multiple driver-at-fault pedestrian collisions. These locations are all within the Carlsbad Village area. Carlsbad Village Drive & Roosevelt Street (signalized) (4 pedestrian collisions) Carlsbad Boulevard & Hemlock Avenue (side-street stop-controlled) (4 pedestrian collisions) Carlsbad Village Drive & Harding Street (signalized) (3 pedestrian collisions) Grand Avenue & Roosevelt Street (signalized) (3 pedestrian collisions) Carlsbad Boulevard & Oak Avenue (side-street stop-controlled) (2 pedestrian collisions) Bicycle Collisions Figure 5.2 displays bicycle-involved collisions during the same study period. They were most frequently reported at mid-block locations (59% or 106 of the 180 records), including the only two fatalities and 12 of the 16 severe injury collisions. Similar to pedestrian collisions, drivers were more commonly at-fault when bicycle collisions occurred at signalized intersections (61% or 20 of the 33 signalized intersection collisions where fault was assigned), while bicyclists were more commonly at- fault with mid-block collisions (72% or 59 of the 82 mid-block collisions where fault was assigned). 37 of 66 C R !( !( !(!( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !(!( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( Carlsbad Active Transportation Monitoring Figure 5.1 Pedestrian-Involved Collisions Vista §¨¦5 ·}78 Colle ge Bl A lg a R d AviaraPkwy Marron R d Ta m a rackCarlsbadVillageDrElCaminoReal CannonRd Colle ge B l P o ins e ttia L n M elro se Dr FaradayAve C am VidaRoble C a lle B arcelonaAveMonr o e St Nort ePas e o DelOceanside Encinitas San Marcos PacificOcean Batiquitos Lagoon AguaHediondaLagoon McClellan-PalomarAirport BuenaVistaLagoon PoinsettiaLn A v d a E n ci nas Ran c h o S a ntaFeDrLaCostaAv C a rls b ad Bl ² 0 10.5 M Source: City of Carlsbad, CR Associates (2021) ilesPalomarAirportRd Intersection Pedestrian Collisions !(4 !(3 !(2 !(1 !(Midblock Pedestrian Collision School !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!( !( !( !( !( !( !( !( !(!(!( !( !( !(!( !( Jefferson S t C arlsbadVillageDrC he stn utS tT am ara ckAve C arls ba d Bl S tate St H ar d in g St §¨¦5 Pacific Ocean 38 of 66 \ \ \ C R \ \ \ \ ......... -7 ----------· I __ r ' ·7 ' L----:,;----,..J Jl :._.. .. t" q i ·--, I i ' ----,_ ------~ ~ 1 -~------, 1 i ~_/ \_J r-j r---~ -✓ i i i i i ---1 i ~-r ·------1 i L---\ _J"""\_ _ __! ..

Two signalized intersections experienced multiple collisions where the driver was at-fault and are listed below.  Carlsbad Boulevard & Cerezo Drive (3 collisions)  La Costa Avenue & Piraeus Street (2 collisions) Vehicular Collisions The 1,374 vehicular collisions were evenly split between intersections (53%) and mid-block (47%) locations. Approximately 60% of the severe injury/fatal collisions were reported at mid-block locations, and largely concentrated along Carlsbad Boulevard (14 collisions), followed by Palomar Airport Road (4 collisions) and Rancho Santa Fe Road (4 collisions). Among the 724 intersection collisions, signalized locations accounted for 78% of all injury collisions and 59% of severe injury/fatal collisions at intersections.

Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 48 6.0 Bicycle-Friendly Communities Assessment The League of American Bicyclists, a national organization for bicycling advocacy in the United States, has developed a Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) Program to assist cities in improving bicycling and creating communities that encourage bicycling. The BFC Program has developed five award levels – diamond, platinum, gold, silver, and bronze – that are awarded based on achievements in the 5 E categories: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Evaluation and Equity. The program originally launched in 1995 and then relaunched in 2003. Since 2003, the program criteria have been designed to be evolutionary, requiring cities to reapply every four years. The BFC Application will be offline until late Spring 2022, while the Bicycle Friendly America (BFA) team works with program partners, local and statewide advocates, BFA Equity Fellows, and BFC applicants to update the application and related resources. Among the changes planned for this BFC application update include:  Stronger integration of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)-related questions and answer options to the BFC application, feedback, and guidance materials for communities.  Revised questions around on- and off-street bike infrastructure, to reflect current national guidance and best practices, and to allow for a more in-depth consideration of the quality and distribution of bike facilities and of a community’s overall bicycling network.  New questions/answer options in each of the 5 E categories to reflect the latest best practices and guidance in those topics, given new technologies and innovations in bicycle programming and infrastructure. Early previews of the revised application questions are expected to be available during the 2022 National Bike Summit in March 2022, and the official launch of the revised application is planned for May 2022, during National Bike Month. Related guidance and resource materials will also become available for applicant communities and advocates starting next May. Given these anticipated changes, it is recommended that the City of Carlsbad checks https://www.bikeleague.org/community for further updates, and contacts bfa@bikeleague.org with any additional questions about the upcoming BFC program changes. Additionally, the City can sign up to be notified when the application reopens for submissions by clicking here. Since the BFC program is undergoing changes, the assessment of Carlsbad’s bicycle friendliness was done using the old criteria as shown in Table 6.1. 49 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 49 Table 6.1 - Getting to Platinum Scoring Criteria Carlsbad Avg Silver Avg Platinum Key Outcomes Bike Commute Mode Share (from ACS) 0.45% 2.7% 13.6% Bike Crashes per 10K bike commuters 5,403 537 100 Bicyclist Fatalities per 10K Bike Commuters 80.7 6.3 0.4 10 Building Blocks Bikeways on High Speed Roads 93% 35% 36% Total Bike Network to Total Road Network 36% 48% 80% Bike Education ?

Bike commute mode share is much lower in Carlsbad than the 2.7% to 13.6% required for Silver or Platinum. And bicycle fatalities and collisions are far too high in Carlsbad. The “building block” measures are intended to help the City achieve higher bicycle mode shares and lower fatalities and collisions. These indicators can become a focus for improvement across the City. 50 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 50 7.0 Conclusions This chapter summarizes overall findings for the inaugural year of the Active Transportation Monitoring Program. As such, we are currently limited to a snapshot of trends related to demand, mode share, and safety. In the future, when a second year of data is collected, the City will be able to examine change over time, which has important implications for understanding the effectiveness of infrastructure investment and other policy implementation. The following sections summarize key results for active transportation demand, mode shares, and safety. 7.1 Travel Demand Overall trends in travel demand by mode are highlighted below: • The highest active transportation volumes (pedestrian, bicycle, and transit) consistently occur along the coast. • Pedestrian and bicycle volumes are higher on weekends, and likely associated with leisure or recreation trips. • Transit trips are higher on weekdays and are likely related to commuting for work. • Vehicle person volumes are higher on major arterials. Pedestrian The following sites have the highest 13-hour pedestrian counts on both weekdays and weekends: • Site #4 - Carlsbad Boulevard between Carlsbad Village Drive & Tamarack Avenue (1,945/4,020) • Site #11 - Carlsbad Boulevard between Cannon Road and Cerezo Drive (494/806), and • Site #17 - Poinsettia Lane between Carlsbad Boulevard and Avenida Encinas (419/750) Each of these high pedestrian count locations is along the coast and has sidewalks in both directions. The lowest weekday and weekend pedestrian count locations include the following: • Site #14 - College Boulevard, between Faraday Avenue and Palomar Airport Road (12/8), • Site #7 - El Camino Real, between Chestnut Avenue and Tamarack Avenue (13/6), and • Site #1 - Jefferson Street, between I-5 and Marron Road (17/7) Each of these data collection sites is located east of Interstate 5. Two of the data collection sites are along high-speed arterials. Bicycle The following three data collection sites have the highest weekend and weekday cycling activity: • Site #18 - Carlsbad Boulevard, Avenida Encinas to Pronto Road (797/2,509) • Site #11 - Carlsbad Boulevard, Cannon Road to Cerezo Drive (901/2,089), and • Site #4 - Carlsbad Boulevard, Carlsbad Village Drive to Tamarack Avenue (730/1,925) 51 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 51 The lowest weekday and weekend bicycle counts were found at the following sites: • Site #20 - Alga Road, El Camino Real to El Fuerte Street (25/31) • Site # 12 - Avenida Encinas, Cannon Road to Palomar Airport Road (50/90) • Site #13 - Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad Boulevard to Avenida Encinas (51/79) • Site #14 - College Boulevard, Faraday Avenue to Palomar Airport Road (65/46), and • Site #6 - Tamarack Avenue, Pio Pico Drive to Valley Street (71/45) Weekend cycling levels along the coast are more than double weekday cycling levels. Interestingly, the weekend coastal cycling demand is higher in the southern portions of the Carlsbad and declines at each data collection station to the north. Transit Site locations with highest transit ridership (all on Route 101) for weekday and weekend are as follows: • Site # 2 - Carlsbad Boulevard, north of State St Roundabout (478/375) • Site #4 - Carlsbad Boulevard, Carlsbad Village Drive to Tamarack Avenue (457/357), and • Site #11 - Carlsbad Boulevard, Cannon Road to Cerezo Drive ( 449/346) Vehicle Count sites with the highest weekday and weekend vehicle person trips are as follows: • Site #21 - Rancho Santa Fe Road, San Elijo Road to Camino Junipero (53,986/49,893) • Site #22 - La Costa Avenue, I-5 to El Camino Real (50,105/30,980), and • Site #23 - El Camino Real, La Costa Avenue to Calle Barcelona (46,265/39,572) • Site #26 - Rancho Santa Fe Road, Camino De Los Coches to La Costa Avenue (46,115/43,311) The three count sites with the lowest weekday and weekend vehicle person trips are as follows: • Site #8 - Kelly Drive, El Camino Real to Hillside Drive (5,370/3,787) • Site #19 - Avenida Encinas, Carlsbad Boulevard to Ponto Road (4,332/4,968), and • Site #5 - Garfield Street, Walnut Avenue to Sycamore Avenue (1,550/2,214) 7.2 Mode Share Overall trends in mode share at the twenty-six data collection sites are highlighted below: • Vehicle person trips are range from about 75% to 99% across the data collection sites • Pedestrian mode shares range from no pedestrians (0%) to 15.7% • Bicycle mode share ranges from 0.1% to 9.4% Highest pedestrian, bicycle, and transit mode shares along the coast. • Transit mode share ranges from 0.1% to 3.7%. Highest pedestrian, bicycle and transit mode shares against vehicles on the weekends. 52 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 52 7.3 Safety Overall trends in collisions at the twenty-six data collection sites are highlighted below: • The highest collision location is along Carlsbad Village Drive between Carlsbad Boulevard and Harding Street. The next three highest collision locations occur along Carlsbad Boulevard. • Collisions were concentrated in the Village area and along major arterials. • Total collisions by mode within 500 feet of data collection locations over the 5-year period include 13 for pedestrian-vehicle, 24 for bicycle-vehicle and 92 for vehicle-vehicle. • Pedestrian collisions are more frequent at intersection locations (62%). • Bicycle collisions are more frequent at mid-block locations (59%). • Vehicle collisions are evenly split between intersections (53%) and mid-block (47%) locations. 7.4 Recommendations and Next Steps These data show that Carlsbad has significant work in terms of increasing cycling, walking and transit mode shares, relative to driving. The City will be in an excellent position to demonstrate success as it implements additional active transportation projects and, with continuous annual data collection, builds evidence that travel behavior can change as a result of changes in the built environment. These data provide an important baseline from which the City can track progress toward many of the General Plan Circulation Element goals and objectives. These data may also be useful to climate action plan targets and tracking in the future. In terms of next steps, the City should continue with planning and implementation efforts to improve active transportation infrastructure. The City should also solidify this data collection effort and repeating annually, in order to build up longitudinal data which will show if conditions are improving or deteriorating for walking and cycling in Carlsbad. 53 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 53 54 of 66 C R "O C: C E a, C a, ...

A key purpose of this study was to collect travel demand data for the City of Carlsbad that is representative of citywide trends. One way to achieve this representativeness was to ensure that key factors affecting the demand for travel were represented across our count locations. Density and income have been shown in the literature to influence the frequency of trip-making and mode choice. Therefore, in this study, we sited our data collection locations in a manner that generally represents the distribution of density and income across the entire City of Carlsbad. We obtained population, employment, and median household income data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey for the year 2015 – 2019, aggregated to census block groups. We created 500-foot buffers around all mobility element roadways and calculated the population, employment, and income values within the buffers by apportioning the census data to the buffer areas. We categorized the two input variables (population + employment and income) into high, medium, and low classes to create sampling strata. The two input variables classified into three categories results in 9 sampling strata as show below in Table A.1. Table A.1 - Defining Nine Sampling Strata Categories (Pop +Emp)/Acres High Medium Low Income High H-H M-H L-H Medium H-M M-M L-M Low H-L M-L L-L Source: CR Associates (2021) The category breaks for defining high, medium, and low for each of the input variables are shown below. Population + Employment per Acre High: 9.80 – 16.88 Medium: 6.95 – 9.79 Low: 1.39 – 6.94 Median HH Income High: $133,643 - $214,098 Medium: $101,418 - $133,642 Low: $62,002 - $101,417 64 of 66 C R Carlsbad AT Monitoring DRAFT Report 64 Figure A.13 shows the distribution frequency of strata for all roadway segments for which the sampling strata were calculated while Figure A.14 presents the frequency distribution of strata for the count sites. As shown, the frequency distributions follow a similar pattern and provide a level of confidence that the selected count sites are representative of the citywide density and income trends.
