COUNCIL/COMMISSION BUSINESS 3 Consideration of Red Li.qht Enforcement Actions RECOMMENDATION: 3.1 Hear presentations from the Police Chief and the Public Works DirectodCity Engineer regarding red light violations; 3.2 Discuss and provide direction regarding the Stop Light Abuse Program (SLAP) and pilot red light photo enforcement system; 3.3 After deliberation, if appropriate, form a subcommittee of two City Councilmembers and two Public Traffic Safety Commissioners to establish goals, participate in the review of other agency's programs, to assist in the development of Temecula's program, and to provide input regarding a public relations campaign; 3.4 Maintain a focused SLAP Program during the development of the pilot program. Highlighting the item, City Manager Nelson introduced Police Chief Domenoe who, by way of a PowerPoint presentation, provided an overview of the City's Stop Light Abuse Program (SLAP) as well as the enhanced enforcement efforts to address this matter, noting the following: · That 50 days of enhanced enforcement resulted in 1,114 citations · That approximately $14,000 has been expended in overtime to ensure a high level of visibility · That prior to enhanced enforcement, an average of 115 citations were written monthly. In response to the City Council and Commission, Public Works Director Hughes and Police Chief Domenoe responded as follows: R:\Minutes\082803 2 · That an additional motorcycle police officer would cost approximately $150,000 plus equipment cost · That the Police Department as well has been amazed that the enhanced motorcycle enforcement has not yet resulted in a reduction in the number of citations · That it has not been determined if there have been repeat offenders · That it has not been determined what percentage of offenders are city residents · That two additional motorcycle officers should, with time, assist in the reduction of issued citations · That the placement of an officer in the middle of an intersection would not be safe · That enforcement is a proven method of decreasing accidents as well as obtaining lawful behavior · That during the increased enforcement period, an officer has been located from early morning to late evening at various intersections · That only a sworn officer may write citations · That drivers must be given ample time to safely travel through the intersection; would not support the lengthening of the yellow light sequence · That information could be published daily as to how many tickets were written and where they were written · That 90% of the written citations have been for left-turn hand violations · That the top five intersections have been identified - Rancho California Road/Ynez Road, Winchester Road/Ynez Road, Winchester Road/Margarita Road, Winchester Road/Jefferson Road, and Rancho California Road/Old Town Front Street/Jefferson Road · That as per accident data, the City's most prevalent accidents are rear-end accidents and that photo enforcement could increase these types of accidents by 60% · That the issue at hand would be more of a resident frustration level versus the need to address a safer environment at these intersections · That the accidents that are occurring are not occurring because of improperly designed or improperly functioning signals but because of driver error and driver judgment. Police Sgt. Pino noted that most of the cited violators were aware of the enforcement but were impatient and that the high visibility of motorcycle officers will be a deterrent, noting that these officers could explain the violation as well as educate the driver. In response to Commissioner L anier's comment, Public Works Director Hughes a dvised t hat past testimony would indicate that there has been a reduction in violations within three to nine months after the enforcement of red light cameras. Mayor Stone relayed his desire to retain the police presence. Commending the Police Department on a job well done, Councilman Pratt spoke in support of a public education program. Mayor Pro Tern Naggar relayed his support of additional motorcycle police officers. For City Manager Nelson, Police Chief Domenoe advised that the hiring of one or two additional officers would take approximately three months but that enhanced enforcement could be continued through supplemental overtime. As the City's population continues to increase, Mr. Domenoe noted that the City would be maintaining, with the added officers, its desired police officer-to-resident ratio and that when the need for enhanced enforcement were to level off, R:\Minutes\082803 3 these officers could be diverted to other functions. Mr. Domenoe relayed his personal opposition to the use of red light cameras and spoke in support of a public education program. Commissioner Ramos suggested that the associated violation fine be clearly visible at the intersections. Councilman Comerchero recommended the posting of additional signs, advising the drivers that the intersections are patrolled by a motorcycle police officer and echoed his support for a public education program, including driver education classes. Commissioner Katan spoke in support of the increased enforcement. For Chairman Connerton, Police Chief Domenoe clarified the point system as to how a driver may loose his/her license. Echoing the support for a public education program as well as additional police officers, Chairman Connerton suggested the use of cable television, schools, homeowner associations, and predriver education. Councilman Pratt suggested publishing the names of violators in the newspaper. Mayor Stone relayed his desire for the City to be proactive in its enforcement of laws; to continue to promote the SLAP program; to enhance public education within schools/predriver classes; and to acknowledge the drivers obeying the laws. Mr. Douglas Neligh, 29500 Mira Loma Drive, noted that the real issue of concern would be traffic congestion and suggested a short-term solution such as permissive left turns. Relaying his opposition to the installation of red light cameras, Mr. Tom Stobbo, 30396 Via Norte, commented on increasing the yellow light timing sequence and suggested the posting of additional signage at major intersections, apprising drivers that the City will cite red light abusers. Mr. Stobbo as well supported the need for public education. In an effort to address driver frustration, Mr. Fred Schoonmaker, 38572 Corbett Canyon Circle, suggested the correlation of traffic lights such that if a driver were to maintain a certain speed, the driver would avoid any red lights, which, in turn, would as well address speeding issues. Mayor Stone spoke in support of Mr. Schoonmaker's suggestion. Commenting on the synchronization issue, Public Works Director Hughes advised that the inconsistencies in synchronization are a result of Caltrans; that staff has attempted to communicate with Caltrans, although to no avail, with regard to synchronizing Caltrans traffic signal with the City's signals; and that the City's signals are synchronized. City Manager Nelson further commented on the City's efforts to take over the responsibility of SR 7 9 north a nd south and advised t hat t he City Council, t o further address t he issue, h ad approved a full time position for a traffic signal technician. Having reviewed a list of traffic timing signals within the City, Councilman Pratt relayed his observation, contributing limited fault to timing but reiterated the need for a community education program. R:\Minutes\082803 4 For Councilman Comerchero, Public Works Director Hughes advised that because of the operation of the freeway, Caltrans would continue to maintain signal timing control at Rancho California Road and maintenance of the ramp signals but that the City will continue to communicate with Caltrans in an effort to receive cooperation. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Naggar, Public Works Director Hughes noted that previously approved road improvements as well as the ability to provide options to the drivers will provide driver relief. Addressing Chairman Connerton's comments with regard to traffic on the 15 freeway, it was noted that staff has been regularly communicating with Caltrans; that the completion of French Valley Interchange Project would greatly assist in that concern; and that discussions have ensued with the Border Patrol, requesting the lessening of the stacking distance. Although realizing the financial impact, Mr. Stobbo suggested the construction of bridges or possibly elevated left-turn lanes. Commending Mayor S tone for b ringing t his matter t o the City C ouncil/Commission attention, Mayor Pro Tem Naggar relayed his commitment to public safety; spoke in support of the addition of two motorcycle officers; supported the implementation of a public education program; and relayed his reluctancy with officers awarding good drivers with promotional items, suggesting that these promotional items be given to the violators. Echoing and supporting previously made comments, Councilman Comerchero supported the idea of providing promotional items to the violators; advised that unless it were the only possible solution to this matter, he would not support red light cameras; supported the City approving two additional motorcycle officers; and as well commented on the need for a public relations/education program. Reiterating his desire to publish the violators' names in the newspaper, Councilman Pratt spoke in support of a public education program. Mayor Stone thanked the Public Traffic Safety Commission for its support and input. Commissioner Ramos expressed his appreciation for being a part of this workshop. Speaking in support of additional enforcement, Commissioner Lanier suggested that the public education program be extended to schools, top commuting employers, DUI checkpoints, etc. Preferring the personal contact provided through enforcement, Commissioner Ramos spoke in support of additional motorcycle officers; relayed his opposition to printing names of violators in the newspaper; and suggested printing the number of people that have been cited at various intersections. Considering the additional enforcement would be self-funded by the violators, Chairman Connerton echoed the previously made suggestions. In closing, Mayor Stone noted that the existing red light abuse signs should be more visible with Public Works Director Hughes advising that the City does not have the authority to place signs at the Caltrans controlled signals. Mr. Hughes suggested the placement of signage at City entry points which would apprise drivers that a red light abuse program is in affect. R:\Minutes\082803 5 Councilman Pratt reiterated his desire to publish violators' names in the newspaper. MOTION: Mayor Pro Tem Naggar moved to approve the hiring of two additional motorcycle officers; to authorize overtime in the interim; to coordinate an education program with the Public Traffic Safety Commission, Police Department, and Public Works Department; to incorporate a public relations campaign; to review the updating of existing signage (staff and Public Traffic Safety Commission); to retain the stepped-up level of enforcement for another six months; to provide the City Council, on a month-to-month basis, information pertaining to the number of tickets written and whether the written tickets were City residents or non-residents; and to not publish violators' names in the newspaper. The motion was seconded by Councilman Comerchero and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Councilman Roberts who was absent and voice vote reflected approval with the exception of Commissioner Wedel who was absent, Chairman Connerton recommended that educational information be made available at the upcoming Safety Expo. In closing, Mayor Stone thanked the public for its input as well as the Police Department, Public Works Department, fellow Council colleagues, Commissioners, and City staff.

R:'A.1inutes\PublicTrafficSafetyCommission092503 1 Senior Engineer Moghadam presented an overview of the staff report (as per agenda material), noting the following: That the Homeowners Association (HOA) is requesting three (3) median island and a multi-way stop sign at the intersection of Chemin Clinet and Promenade Chardonnay Hills; That it would be staff's opinion that three (3) median island installations would not achieve the results that the residents and HOA desire nor will it achieve the Public/Traffic Safety Commission's objective to reduce the 85% percentile speed to 30 mph. Staff would recommend the continuance of the enforcement of the 25 mph posted speed limit on Promenade Chardonnay Hills. In response to Commissioner Lanier's query, Senior Engineer Moghadam noted that the parcels in the new subdivisions would have access to Butterfield Stage Road. In response to Chairman Connerton's query, Senior Engineer Moghadam noted the following: · That the original agreement was to install seven (7), or as many island as it would take to reduce the speed to 30 mph; That after discussion with the homeowners who would directly be affected by the islands, the HOA representatives recommended that the median island installation be limited to only three locations; and that a multi-way stop sign at the intersection of Chemin Clinet and Promenade Chardonnay Hills be installed. At this time the Public Hearing was opened. Mr. Joseph La Marca, 41138 Promenade Chardonnay, representing Promenade Chardonnay Hills HOA, noted the following: · That the recommendation of the raised median islands was that of Public Works Director Bill Hughes, not the HOA; That initially the raised median island solution seemed to be a good resolution; but that after consideration, a n island adjacent to homes would be impractical because residents exiting driveways in one of two directions would have to u-turn between islands, potentially creating a traffic hazard, as well as an inconvenience; That Mr. Hughes met with the Fire Department and was informed that the area between the curb and island was too narrow, creating difficulty for Fire Trucks and ambulances to circle around; That no other residential neighborhoods throughout the City have striping; that there are homes off Honors Drive, but none that face Honors Drive so this did not verify the efficacy of striping in a residential neighborhood. R:'u'vlinutes\PublicTrafficSafetyCommission092503 · That the HOA, as well as residents, would propose stop signs at the following locations; Chemin Clinet - facing North Chemin Margaux--facing South Chemin La Tache - facing North and South Parducci Lane The following individuals spoke in favor of stop signs: Ms. Terri Feurestein 31469 Heitz Lane Donald Smith 41209 Promenade Chardonnay Hills Thomas M. Chimileski Jr. 41031 Promenade Chardonnay Hills Ken Peterson 41260 Promenade Chardonnay Hills Julie Wrather 41194 Promenade Chardonnay Hills Linda Dippolito 41028 Promenade Chardonnay Hills The above individuals spoke in support of the stop signs for the following reasons: · That Promenade Chardonnay Hills has a severe traffic problem; · That many children live in Promenade Chardonnay Hills; · That a 10-year old boy was almost struck by a vehicle; · That from 4:30 to 7:00 pm, there are many vehicles cutting through Chardonnay Hills to get to Rancho California Road traveling around 45 mph; · That stop signs must be installed at Sebastian and Culbertson Lane; · That the residents have been requesting stop signs for over three years; · That it is difficult sometimes to get in and out of driveways due to speeders. At this time the Public Hearing was closed. Commissioner Wedel commended the residents for their patience and strongly supported the residents and their recommendation of stop signs, recommending to phase in stop signs. For Commissioner Katan, Senior Engineer Moghadam relayed that there has been one (1) accident in the last three years and 40 tickets issued in the last three (3) weeks. For Commissioner Ramos, Senior Engineer Moghadam relayed that the volume of traffic is three times as much on Calle Medusa and that stop signs on Calle Medusa were not recommended by staff. Commissioner Ramos concurred with Commissioner Wedel in phasing the stop signs. R:\Minutes\PublicTrafficSafetyCommission092503 ~ Commissioner Lanier relayed he would support staff's comment that stop signs do not work. Chairman Connerton supported the installation of two stop signs while in time phasing in the others and suggested police presence in the area during peak traffic periods. In response to Commissioner Wedel, Mr. Joseph La Marca relayed that it would be acceptable to start with two stop signs with the possibility of phasing in additional stop signs; that the HOA representatives would be willing to meet with Senior Engineer Moghadam and Director of Public Works Hughes to discuss the ideal locations for the initial two stop signs; that the decided locations could then be forwarded to the Commission for review. For Commissioner Katan, Mr. La Marca relayed that the letter he sent to Mr. Hughes, dated June 11,2003, would no longer be in effect. Senior Engineer Moghadam concurred with Commissioner Wedel's recommendation in having the Public Works Department and the HOA representatives get together to choose the two ideal locations for the stop signs. Mr. Moghadam also relayed that if the Commission were to allow the Public Works Department and the HOA representatives to agree upon two locations this evening, this item would not have to come back to the Public Traffic Safety Commission, it could go directly to the City Council. MOTION: Commissioner Wedel moved that the Public Traffic Safety Commission authorize Senior Moghadam and Director of Public Works Hughes to meet with the HOA representatives to determine the ideal locations to install two stop signs; that the matter be readdressed in one month with a resolution at which time this item would be agendized and brought back in a month from tonight. Commissioner Ramos seconded the motion. For Commissioner Lanier, Mr. Joseph LaMarca noted that the residents that may be affected by the noise due to the placement of stop signs would first be notified. Voice vote reflected unanimous approval with the exception of Chairman Connerton who voted N._Qo.

Staff would recommend that the Public Traffic Safety Commission approve the request and recommend that the City Council approve the removal of the speed undulations and that staff will not support the installation of multi-way stop signs on Calle Pina Colada as a substitute for the speed undulations. For Commissioner Wedel, Senior Engineer Moghadam relayed that the number of residents in favor of the speed undulations were greater than 65%, which was the minimum requirement. Assistant to the City Manager Yates relayed that in 1993 the majority of the residents on Calle Pina Colada were in favor of the speed undulations. In response to Commissioner Wedel's query, Senior Engineer Moghadam stated that the City Council decided on 65% as the removal policy. At this time the public hearing was opened. Mr. Rolfe Wittman, 30617 Calle Pina Colada, advised that he has been a resident of this address for 10 years and was a resident at the time the undulations were installed; that at that time, the City told the residents that this was an experiment and if it were to not work, the City would have them removed, noting that the undulations are not effective.

BACKGROUND: At the meeting of September 25, 2003, the Public/Traffic Safety Cormmssion received a staffreport addressing the HOA's request for traffic controls on Promenade Chardonnay Hills. Following a discussion of the issue, the Commission disagreed with the staff recommendation to deny the request for multi-way stop signs and to continue the enforcement of the 25 MPH posted speed limit. Instead, the Commission directed staff to work with the HOA to select two locations along Promenade Chardonnay Hills for installation of multi-way stop signs and bring the selected locations back to the Commission for approval and recommendation to the City Council. The two locations, Parducci Lane and Chemin Clinet, were included in the initial multi-way stop warrant analysis performed at five intersections along Promenade Chardonnay Hills. At that time, the two intersections did not satisfy the minimum warrant criteria for the use of multi-way stop signs. Although the minimum warrant criteria is still not satisfied, the installation of multi-way stop signs at these two intersections appears to be more practical because Parducci Lane and Chemin Clinet provide access to the development from Meadows Parkway and Butterfield Stage Road. However, a letter from the Board of Directors will be necessary pr/or to £mal approval by the City Council. The public has been notified of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission's consideration of this issue through the agenda notification process and by mail. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the Public Works Routine Street Maintenance Account for signing and striping. Attachment: 1.

"If We wait long enough, we'won't b~ able to enter any- where on the 15,' Vardoulis said. V/~rious projections show trafffc on Highway 9! nearly doubling from 250,000 cars per day now to more than 470,000 cars in 25 years if an- other highway is not built.

Bu~neSSrnan ~ank MiChele~a: Municipal Water District of Orange County Endorses Multipiwpose Tunnel On October 2, 2002, by unanimous vote of the seven member Board of Direc- tors, the Munidpal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) endorsed the multi-purpose tunnel through the Santa ,Rna Mountains between Riverside and Orange Counties. MWDOC is the water planning and management agency for all of Orange County and the first government agency to endorse the proposed Tri-Tunne Express TM. The agency is urging the Orange County Transportation Commission, the Riverside Transportation Commission, and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to join in this endorsement. The Tri-Tunnel ExpressTM not only delivers up to 1,200 cubic feet per second of potable water to Orange County, but can carry upwards of 150,00 cars and trucks per day, a high speed rail system, and other utilities. Construction cost would primarily be covered bythe users, with little or no government cost. Finally, through exhaust filtration and scrubbing, there will be very little pollut- ants entering the atmosphere. What's the Need? Congestion on SR-91 and safety problems on Ortega Highway (SR-74) have grown over the years to unman- ageable levels. Toll lanes on SR-91 and other improvements have merely been short-term solutions for these traffic jams. Recent improvements to 5R-71 and new toll roads in Orange· County (SR-241) both are feeding more traffic into SR-91. Plus, the renewed housing boom in Corona, Narco, Chino Hills and Anaheim Hills areas, and along the 1-15 corridor north and south of SR-91, have only worsened the situation. Freight and utilities (such as water, electricity, gas, oil, and fiber optics) also have a growing need for facilities connecting the two counties. Truck traffic will grow even faster than commuter traffic in the area. Finally, the development of airports at Ontario and March AFB will require good grou.n.d access in order for them to be effectwe. Both freight and peop e will have to have time- predictable ways of getting to these fadlities. Freeways Cost BillionS! Ideas about increasing the capacity between the two counties have been studied for years. These have induded widening SR-91 through Corona and the Santa Aha Canyon, extending the toll lanes eastward toward 1-15, building new highways over the mountains through the Cleveland National Forest, constructing direct connections between the SR-91 lanes and SR-241 toll road and between the SR-7! and SR-241, constructing a southerly bypass around Corona, and even double-decking the SR-91 Freeway, Cont~ued ~n next' p~ge h , pressmn Traffic Rate Doubles Vehicles going from Orange County to Riverside and San Bernardino court* ties are expected to double from 230,000 cars a day to 450,000 cars a day by 2010. In addition the job growth in Orange County and the housing demand in the inland Empire will greatly increase congestion. Housing experts predict Riverside County will need 95,000 new housing units to accommodate its explosive growth! Engineers are studying three major corridors through the Cleveland National Forest. One is a route from Cajalco Road in Corona to the Foothill (241) Toll Road; a route from Lake Elsinore to San Juan Capistrano near the Ortega Highway; a route from Temecula to San Clemente. Officials said only one alignment would be chosen. A New Road a Boon for Business Riverside County officials state that 1.5 million additional people are expected to be living in Riverside County by 2020. Talk of a new freeway connecting Riverside and Orange counties through a tunnel has progressed from 'no way" to "let's talk about it," offidals on both sides of the county line are now saying. The economic development of the region could be stifled without an alternative to the Highway 91 conges- tion-presently the only freeway connecting the two counties. Gridlock must be relieved with a new highway altemafive to the 91. Trucks currently comprise over 1096 of trips on the 9! Freeway (30,000 trucks per day). By the year 2020, truck trips will double to 60,000 per day. No Roads, No Jobs The Inland Empire (Riverside & San Bemardino Counties) needs two things - roads and air access for passengers and cargo. The urgent need is to get to market goods and services that are produced in the Inland Empire. As growth continues to pour more traffic onto the region's roads, the altemative to Highway 91 is a must-do study for elected offidals. The idea of a new freeway is finally getting more support from various officials. Now, the discussion is moving from whether a new corridor is needed to what path it should take. Some say a new freeway is needed even if Highway 91 is widened. A new freeway would provide shorter and faster access to Riverside County's less-expensive housing. Reports show the median-priced home in Orange County is now out of reach of 75 percent of prospective home buyers. Employers' salary costs continue to rise as the availability of qualified employees continues to decline. There is growing support for the Trffunnel Express" alternative align- ment among Orange County's busi- ness community. The BIG Traffic Crisis is Just Ahead There is a real need to provide a viable connection between Interstate 15 in Riverside and State Highway 241 in Orange County near Irvine to facilitate the increasing traffic move- ment between the two counties while minimizing environmental impacts. Ideas about increasing the capacity between the two counties have been studied for years, and now the urgency is on top of us. These have included: (1) Widening 5R-91 through Corona and the Santa Ana Canyon and extending the toll lanes eastward toward 1-15; (2) Building new highways over the mountains through the Cleveland National Forest; (3) Constructing direct connections between the SR-91 lanes and 5R-241 toll mad and between the SR-71 and SR-241; (4) Constructing a southerly bypass around Corona; and even (5) Double-decking the 5R-91 Freeway. www. tritunnelexpress.com Th ,press on The Riverside to Orange County Unk The TriT~nnel ExpressTM system would start just west of the 1-15 and Cajalco · Road in Riverside County and extend through the Santa Aha Mountains to the interchange of SR-241 (toll road) and SR-133 in Orange County. Moving People and Services The tunnel length would be between 7 and 10 miles. Because.of the need for moving people, goods and utilities, the proposed project would consist of three 40-foot diameter tunnels. The project com- cI~EAN ~AY, DIRE~T~WAY" p~ises three side-by-side vented tunnels. Two tunnels will accommo- date one-way passenger vehicles and multiple' utility company transmission conduits. The third tunnel would provide for commercial vehicle - passage and high speed light rail seMce together with a major water transmission conduit, fiber optics and phone lines. Emergency exit stairwells would provide access to all tunnels. Ventila- tion stations along the mute would circulate fresh air throughout the tunnel system. 000 www. tritunnelexpress.com Designed by TeamWay Marketing Th .xpress on ~ur economies are depending on movement between the two coun- #e~ Economically, it (the corridor) is vital to our future,~ However, difficulties, including mountainous terrain, sensitive envi- ronmental areas, and commercial and '~sidential development in close .Joximity to the existing highways have made these ideas very expensive and environmentally unacceptable. Metrolink (commuter trains) has helped, but not enough. Future concepts like high speed trains and maglev systems have been studied, but alone may not solve traffic problems in this corridor. Planners estimate construction on four proposed Western Riverside County corridors at $2.2 billion from Lake Elsinore-to-Orange County connection, and $250 million to link Temecula and Beaumont. Currently 250,000 cars squeeze through the 91 artery that connects OC and the Inland Empire-a number expected to hit 400,000 by 2o o! www. tritunnelexpress.com Why a tunnel? Il our preliminary analysis shows that it would be far less expensive than widening existing freeways or building a road over the mountains. It would NOT displace existing homes or businesses. It would link to freeways with available capacity so that you can continue your journey at reasonable speeds. The project, once funded and backed by the political establish- ment (local, county, state, and federal) could than five years. Finally, it would have almost none of the environmental impacts associated with the other altematives. It even has fewer impacts than living with the existing situation. Environmentally Better Most important--the tunnel would have almost none of the environmen- tal impacts associated with the other above ground alternatives. It even has fewer impacts on the environment than living with the existing congested situation. High Power Transmission Unes Could Go Through The Tunnel There is a probability that the pro- posed three vehicle and truck tunnels will be piggybacked with other uses, such as water and oil pipelines under the roadways, and even car~, the needed 500,O00-volt power transmis- sion lines. The tunnel would provide an alternate route for these high power lines from going over the Cleveland National Forest, and endan- gering the sensitive wildlife environ- ment. Who would build it? A consortium of private engineering and construction firms would design and build the tunnels. Connector roads could be a combination of private and pubic investments, depending on the final configuration. Why this route? The Trffunnel ExpressTM mute currently under consideration from 1-15/Cajalco to SR-241/SR-l:53 is one that would: · Provide the most relief to SR-91 · Be attractive to needed utilities · Connect to freeways that have ample capacity · Have the fewest environmental impacts · Be financed privately How much would it cost? Current estimates are in the range of $:5.0 to $:5.5 billion. This would cover three large tunnels and connecting stairways at 1,000-foot intervals. If, however, costs grow to much higher levels, there will be no impact on the taxpayer. Simply put, if it can't pay for itself through user fees, it won't be built. What about safety: earthquakes and ventilation? Preliminaq~ designs include state-of- the-art safety features, earthquake sensing and design elements, and ventilation. The use of electric truck trains and ventilation scrubbing equipment will assure far cleaner air. Options being considered are to have all vehicles (autos and trucks) conveyed or pulled through the tunnels with engines off. The trade-off is the cost of the conveyor system versus the cost of ventilation, fleering the air, and estimated cost impacts of potential in-tunnel acddents. .CALIFORNIA ORANGE COUNTY EDITION · foUnta!a,~a~analternativetoRi~-atdeFreewap~i~n.-?~:' He Tunnels Feverishly:....::.

MOACTRPT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Monthly Activity Report September / October 2003 Prepared By: Amer Attar Submitted by: William G. Hughes Date: October 22, 2003 PROJECTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1. Children's Museum This project will construct a 7,500 square foot children's museum. 2H Construction has completed the structural repairs to the building shell. All that remains in their scope of work is the stucco repair and painting. Fleming Construction, the original contractor for the building shell improvements, returned to the job site in October and demolished the gazebo porch floor in order to replace it with the matching porch boards. Sparks Exhibits and Environments has been given the notice to proceed with the installation of the museum exhibits. 2. Pechanga Parkway (Formerly Pala Road) Sound Wall Improvements Under this project, sound walls will be designed and constructed on the southwest side of Pechanga Parkway, from Rainbow Canyon Road to the Pechanga casino and on the northeast side along the residences just north of Loma Linda. Bullard Construction has completed the section of the sound wall on the northeast side of the project, along Jedediah Smith, and is replacing the back yard fences that join to the sound wall. On the west side of the project the section between Masters and Muirfield is nearing completion with the contractor grouting and capping the wall. Footings have been poured at the section between Muirfield and Via Consuelo and the masons are bring the wall up a layer at a time. The wall footing has been excavated between Via Consuelo and Huron. The project is on schedule at this time. 3. Rancho California Road Bridge Widening Over Murrieta Creek This project will widen Rancho California Road Bridge over Murrieta Creek 35 feet on the south and 15 feet on the north to provide four additional traffic lanes. CIDH pier pilings are complete, the right and left bridge decks have been poured and the right side has been stressed and its faisework removed. Completion of the project is anticipated in the Spring of 2004 although the allowable working days extend into August of 2004. 4. Rancho California Sports Park ADA Access and Shade Structure This project entails the design and construction of ADA compliant concrete walkways to the remaining ball fields, 3,4,5,7 & 8. This project is complete. The Notice of Completion will go to the City Council at the October 22, 2003 meeting. 5. Pavement Rehabilitation Program - FY 2002~ 2003 The project involves removing and replacing the pavement in the two westbound lanes of Rancho California Road between Margarita Road and Meadows Parkway. R. J. Noble started the work on 8/08 and substantially completed it on 10/02. Currently, the contractor has been performing 1 R:\Mon~hlyActivityReport\ClP~2003\September.doc punchlist items (i.e., striping). The contractor and inspector will meet to go over the last billing quantities. 6. John Warner Road Assessment District Under this project an assessment district was formed. This district includes the construction of street and storm drain improvements in the John Warner Road area. Final waterline relocation plans were received from RCWD on 10/8/03, and an amended Notice to Proceed dated 10/13/03 was issued to McLaughlin. Storm drain installation on John Warner Rd. began on 10/8 and is proceeding, but is being delayed due to ongoing utility conflicts. Utility conflicts continue to plague the entire project, with agencies either being non-responsive or not following through on pledged actions when responding. A prime example of this is RCWD, who on 10/17/03 stated that they would have a crew out on 10/20 to relocate 2 services in conflict with the storm drain, then on 10/20 completely reversed themselves and claimed it would be 3 weeks before they would be able to respond. Work to resolve utility conflicts is ongoing, and construction work is fitfully proceeding. 7. Rancho California Road Widening & Median Modifications East of Ynez Road The project will include the closing of the two median openings on Rancho California Road in front of the Town Center, while lengthening the left turn lanes at Ynez Road, Town Center Drive, and Via Los Colinas to improve traffic circulation. In addition, a dedicated right turn lane will be added on the eastbound direction on Rancho California Road at Ynez Road. Notice to Proceed was issued to contractor (R.J. Noble) on 9/22~03, and construction activity began on 10/13/03. Phase 1 of the work is the constructing the right-turn pocket on westbound Rancho Califomia Rd. and traff~c control was implemented for this phase. Clear and grub work was completed on 10/16/03, and as with the John Warner project, utility conflicts are an issue, specifically with Edison, who have a pullbox and light pole to move in this area. Work is continuing around this, however, with retaining wall construction and sign/sculpture relocations scheduled for the week of 10/20/03. Edison is also scheduled to relocate this same week. Traffic control is an issue, with impacts to traveling public being moderate. After several complaint phone calls from public after first weekend of traffic closure, contractor will be encouraged to remove as much traffic control devices as possible before the weekend. PROJECTS BEING ADVERTISED FOR BIDS NONE PROJECTS IN DESIGN 1. Pechanga Parkway (Formerly Pala Road) Improvements - Phase II (SR 79 South to Pechanga Road) This project will widen Pechanga Parkway (formerly Pala Road) to its ultimate width from the Pechanga Parkway Bridge to Pechanga road. The City is currently working with Caltrans' Local Assistance and City's Environmental Consultant to expedite the environmental approval process. The Preliminary Environmental Document Classification (NEPA) of the project has been determined 2 R:\MonthlyActivityReport\CIP\2003\September.doc to be an "Environmental Assessment" (EA). Required technical studies (involving Federal action) will be included in the EA. The Planning Department completed Addendum No. 3 to the Wolf Craek EIR and the Notice of Determination (NOD) for the project. The Addendum and NOD were needed to satisfy all CEQA requirements for the project. The City will return checkprints to DMJM+HARRIS when all of the street plans/specifications/utility companies' comments are completed. This project will be divided into two stages. The first stage is to construct the storm drain triple box culvert and the channel improvements north of Loma Linda. Construction of this stage is scheduled for Fall 2003. The second stage will construct the remaining street improvements and drainage structures. Construction of this stage will start once the first stage is completed. 2. Pechanga Parkway Storm Drain Improvements - Phase II This project will construct the storm drain triple box culvert and the channel improvements north of Loma Linda. As part of this stage the entire Pechanga Parkway, Phase II project will be envirenmentaliy cleared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City has completed the legal descriptions and plats needed to transfer Right of Way to RCFC & WCD for maintenance of the storm drain system. The City submitted a design/construction agreement to RCFC & WCD for their review and approval. The agreement included an overall dght of way map and irrevocable offers of dedications with associated legal descriptions and plats. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requested that the City and RCFC & WCD make additional changes to the lower section of the Wolf Valley Creek Channel. The consultant has redesigned the outlet facility. The consultant has completed the redesign and the plans were submitted to RCFC & WCD for final check and approval on October 10, 2003. 3. Temecula Library A full service library, approximately 34,000 square feet in area, will be designed and built on Pauba Road, just west of Fire Station #84. This project will provide the community with library resources and services. A separate parcel has been created for the library for bond purposes.
