ITEM NO. I MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 A regular meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Commission was called to order on Thursday, January 23, 1997, 7:02 P.M., at the City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Markham called the meeting to order, PRESENT: COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coe Also present were Public Works Associate Engineer All Moghadam, Police Sergeant Rodney Crisp, Battalion Chief John Winder, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle. Chairman Markham called for non-agenda items at 7:05 P.M. There were no items. COMMISSION CONSENT CALENDAR 1. Minutes of December 12.1996 It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to approve the Minutes of December 12, 1996. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe COMMISSION BUSINESS 2. SI;)eed Limit - Via Norte and Del Rey Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's recommendation to deny the request to lower the speed limit from 35 MPH to 30 MPH on Via Norte and Del Rey Road. He stated an Engineering and Traffic Survey, conducted on January 7, 1997, did not support a lower speed limit. Also, these roads did not meet the criteria for prima facie 25 MPH speed limit on "Residence District" as defined by the California Vehicle Code. Mr. Moghadam also stated that the Meadowview Homeowners Association had sent a letter, dated January 22, 1997, requesting stop signs at specific locations, but staff has not had an opportunity to analyze the locations other than looking at last year's traffic volumes which indicate warrants are not met. Commissioner Johnson stated it is often necessary to consider sight distance and conditions which are not obvious to a driver unfamiliar with the area in addition to the warrants. He said southbound Via Norte, Calle Pina Colada, Avenida Barca, and Del Rey Road, to the east of the stop sign at Calle Pina Colada, has limited sight distance. He mentioned existing signs did not meet warrants, but in his opinion failed sight distance criteria. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 Commissioner Perry inquired if the speed survey was done in one day. Mr. Moghadam replied the survey was completed in one day during off-peak hours. Kathy Hoagland, 40461 Calle Fiesta, Temecula, representing the Meadowview Homeowners Association, asked the Commissionmembers to drive the loop, to observe the narrow streets in an equestrian area with no sidewalks and sight distance problems. She believes three-way or four-way stop signs are needed, and that speeding in the area is a problem. Chairman Markham asked why the Association was not in favor of striping the roadway. Ms. Hoagland stated the Association decided striping gives children a false sense of security and might lead to "no parking" areas. She said on-street parking is necessary in the area. John McCusker, 29170 Via Norte, Temecula, asked for a definition of the term "85th Percentlie." Mr. Moghadam stated 85th percentlie means the speed 85% of the motorists are traveling at or lower; 15%, at a higher speed. Mr. McCusker stated reduced speed signs are posted under certain circumstances for public safety and this area warrants such signs due to curves, hills, and reduced sight distances. He stated the stop sign at Del Rey Road at Calle Pina Colada has worked well. Mr. Moghadam reiterated that if posting lower speed limits would actually lower speeds, it would be considered, but studies show, without enforcement, traveling speeds are not lowered and in most cases the residents of the area are speeding. He stated staff will look further into the stop sign location request. Ron Roberrs, 41140 Ave Verde, Temecula, stated he has seen an increase in traffic and speed levels from five (5) years ago. He said the driveways, lack of sidewalks, and horse crossings create a dangerous situation. Mr. Roberts mentioned existing stop signs were justified because of a dangerous intersection. He asked that a decision be delayed tonight to give staff an opportunity to drive the area, to conduct further traffic studies, and to consider traffic calming methods before making a recommendation. He agreed with the Association's request for stop signs at Via Norte at Calle Pina Colada and Del Rey Road at Via Norte. Ron Jolivette, 29795 Del Rey Road, Temecula, stated he lives on the southwest corner of Via Norte and Del Rey Road, where a fatal accident occurred in December 1996. He believes an additional stop sign would have prevented the accident; and since traffic goes down Via Norte Road very fast, he recommends a reduced speed. Commissioner Guerriero asked Mr. Jolivette when the best time would be for a traffic survey to be conducted. Mr. Jolivette replied early evening till 10:00 PM and early morning, Monday trough Friday. Denise Carter, 29723 Del Rey Road, Temecula, asked the Commission to consider a stop sign on Del Rey Road. Ron Barbeau, 29741 Del Rey Road, Temecula, stated Via Norte and Del Rey Road is a blind intersection for cars coming from the north and the foliage there also cuts down visibility. He requested that the residents of Meadowview be notified when these issues are back on the agenda. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23° 1997 Commissioner Guerriero wondered if traffic calming measures, such as white striping along the roadside, speed undulations etc., had been considered by the Homeowners Association and suggested that they set up an ad hoc committee to look at alternatives other than stop signs, and stated he would be happy to participate. Ray McLaughlin, 30773 Del Rey Road, Temecula, said enforcement of speed limits is needed and the radar trailer presence seemed to lower speeds. Commissioner Perry stated the radar trailer is a good tool so residents of the area can see exactly what speeds are being traveled since vehicles often are not traveling as fast as appears. It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to deny the request to lower the speed limit from 35 MPH to 30 MPH on Via Norte and Del Rey Road. Commissioner Guerriero stated he would like a Monday thru Friday 24-hour traffic study conducted. Commissioner Perry expressed his agreement, but suggested adding a Saturday. Commissioner Johnson stated he is not in favor of additional speed surveys as these possibly would result in a higher 85th percentlie. Chairman Markham said the speed surveys could demonstrate where to focus traffic calming methods. The motion was amended by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to table staff's recommendation until the February 27, 1997 meeting to allow staff time to conduct a speed survey over a 48-hour period including a Saturday. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe Commissioner Guerriero asked staff to investigate stop signs for Del Rey Road at Via Norte and Via Norte at Calle Pina Colada at this time, and the other locations which were submitted by the Meadowview Association's January 22, 1997 letter. Chairman Markham suggested the City's Maintenance Division be made aware of the foliage obstruction, poor pavement and recommended staff develop creative design features, in addition to numbers, to slow traffic down. Commissioner Johnson asked staff to provide the Commission with the survey's raw data. Chairman Markham requested staff send the February 27, 1997 agenda package to Kathy Hoagland, the Association's Board of Directors President. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 All-Way "Stol;)" - Clubhouse Drive at Bavhill Drive Associate Engineer Ali Moghadam presented staff's recommendation to deny a request for installation of an All-Way "Stop" at the intersection of Clubhouse Drive and Bayhill Drive because this intersection does not meet warrants, as outlined in the California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to deny the request for installation of an All-Way "Stop" at the intersection of Clubhouse Drive and Bayhill Drive. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe All-Way "StolO" - North General Kearny Road at Pauma Valley Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's recommendation to deny the request for an All-Way "Stop" at the intersection of North General Kearny Road and Pauma Valley Road because the intersection does not meet warrants, outlined in the California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual, and to continue the use of the radar trailer and enforcement of the existing posted speed limit. Chairman Markham stated he visited the site and believes this situation will get worse as a result of additional houses and the street curvature. and asked if there is anything the City can do to modify this area. Mr. Moghadam mentioned requests for sidewalks have been forwarded to the County, but he has not received any response. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to deny the request for installation of an All-Way "Stop" at the intersection of North General Kearny Road and Pauma Valley Road. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham None Coe "No-Parking" Zone - Winchester Road West of Diaz Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's recommendation that the Commission recommend the City Council adopt a resolution establishing "No-Parking" zones on Winchester Road, west of Diaz Road, due to restriction of visibility for vehicles exiting the Rancho California Water District's driveways caused by parked trucks and roadway curvature. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23. 1997 m Commissioner Perry stated enforcement of the City's ordinance prohibiting truck parking on City streets was needed rather than painting red curbs. Sergeant Crisp stated parked trucks are issued warnings and tickets, which correct the problem for a time. He will reemphasize this problem with his staff. Bill Dendy, 41975 Winchester Road, Temecula, developer of Westside Business Center, stated the CC&R's for his developments prohibit parking on the street and when he recently asked a trucker to move, he was told truckers could park anywhere except in a red curb area. Mr. Dendy stated he would ask for "no parking" on Zevo Lane, Wilmington, Winchester and Diaz Roads, but agrees with not painting the town red; perhaps "No Parking" signs would be better and he is willing to help with the cost of such signs. Commissioner Perry suggested trying increased enforcement for a 60 day period and if at the end of that time there is still a problem, consider further action. Chairman Markham asked if it is necessary to have "No Truck Parking" posted for enforcement because it is a City ordinance and outsiders might not be aware of local ordinances. Sergeant Crisp said he will check into the matter. Commissioner Guerriero stated "No Parking" signs would include all vehicles and asked if specific signage for trucks could be made. Mr. Moghadam replied the City could probably come up with signage specifically for trucks, and he will look into any legal ramifications. It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to table staff's recommendation to establish "No Parking" zones on Winchester Road west of Diaz Road until increased enforcement is conducted by the Police Department for 60 days. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: I COMMISSIONERS: Coe SDeed Limit - Margarita Road from Rancho California Road to State Route 79 South Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's recommendation that the Commission recommend the City Council adopt a resolution reaffirming the speed limit on Margarita Road from Rancho California Road to State Route 79(S). Chairman Markham stated if a Pauba Road at Margarita Road intersection signal is not in the Five (5) Year Capital Improvement Program, staff should look at including this location for future signalization. Commissioner Perry stated the issue of widening the west side of Margarita Road, south of Pauba Road, and installing a signal should be placed on a future agenda. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 Commissioner Johnson asked staff to give each Commissioner a copy of the Signal Priority List. It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution reaffirming the speed limit on Margarita Road from Rancho California Road to State Route 79S. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Moghadam reported on the following concerns raised at the December 12, 1996 meeting: La Paz striding - A work order to strip a southbound right-turn lane north of Hwy 79S has been submitted. Commissioner Johnson asked if the edge of La Paz was going to be stripped and Mr. Moghadam answered, not at this time due to the road edge being in poor repair. Installation of stop signs at Nicholas Road and North General Kearny Road - the last study, conducted November 1995, did not meet warrants and has a No. 18 priority for signalization. A new study will be conducted after the construction on Winchester Road is completed in order to obtain accurate data. Chairman Markham agreed waiting until construction is completed is appropriate. Median break at Claim Jumper - three (3) accidents per year have been caused by left- turn movements. This item will be addressed on a future agenda, and the shopping center owner will be notified. Commissioner Guerriero stated traffic flow, "no parking" areas, delineators etc., on Rancho California Road between Ynez Road to Lyndie Lane need to be addressed and staff needs to develop strategies to alleviate the traffic problems. Right-turn lane for eastbound Winchester Road at Jefferson Avenue - a right-turn lane was striped, two (2) large signs erected, and an arrow painted on the pavement a couple of weeks ago. Lyndie Lane signal - a malfunction (yellow lock) in the controller was discovered which caused the signal to change even though there was no traffic on Lyndie Lane. False alarm policy - staff has not received a requested San Marcos' policy. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned the City of Riverside also has a false alarm ordinance. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23.1997 Commissioner Guerriero asked about utilizing reflective tape/paint for markings as the current markings are obliterated in the rain. Mr. Moghadam stated cost could be a factor. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Chairman Markham reported the Police Department is involved with the supplemental allocation grant for equipment and the RAID grant he mentioned at the December 12, 1996 meeting. Commission Perry stated burglary seems to be on the increase and asked if it is a trend or a seasonal issue. Sergeant Crisp replied burglary is generally a seasonal issue, but it is up from last year probably due to the increase in population, and advised the department is targeting this problem. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT Commissioner Guerriero asked Battalion Chief John Winder if he had an opportunity to look at the fire rope. Chief Winder replied he had not had that opportunity but is interested in any articles Commissioner Guerriero might have regarding the fire rope. Chief Winder mentioned he was looking into the possible purchase of a second Cairns Iris helmet. Chairman Markham asked when Fire Station 84 on Pauba Road will open. Chief Winder responded by mid-February 1997, it will be fully equipped and staffed upon opening. Commissioner Guerriero asked if Temecula was still relying on ASMAC I and II for air support and if any new equipment had been purchased. Chief Winder replied new sniffers, which are basically CO and hydrocarbon monitors, have been purchased for each Battalion. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Chairman Markham requested a general policy regarding red curbs for arterial circulation element streets (with a map showing their location) be placed on the February 27, 1997 agenda. Commissioner Perry asked that it be a discussion item with public notice so merchants can respond. Chairman Markham mentioned he would like the Commission to rewew the Capital Improvement Plan prior to approval. Commissioner Perry suggested a written request from the Commission to Public Works Director Kicak would be appropriate. Commissioner Guerriero stated the Neighborhood Traffic Watch Program should be readdressed at a future meeting to implement the program and to encourage people about educating their sphere of influence. Commissioner Guerriero discussed a Long Beach juvenile delinquency program which has eliminated habitual truants by approximately 35 percent; parents of students are fined and if that does not work, community service for both parents and students is required. Sergeant Crisp will discuss truant problems in Temecula with Officer Mike Roberts. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 Commissioner Guerriero explained a program concerning drugs, seat belts, bicycle/traffic safety, etc. put on by Jurupa law enforcement for students. Chief Winder stated he will look into the matter. Commissioner Johnson reiterated, that this Commission has been opposed to using stop signs for speed control. Commissioner Johnson inquired if the mall was a reality. Chairman Markham replied all indications are the mall will occur with a projected opening Thanksgiving 1998 or Thanksgiving 1999. Commissioner Johnson inquired about placing an interim signal at Solana Way and Margarita Road with the improvements of Margarita Road from Solana Way to Winchester Road. Mr. Moghadam stated the signal will be installed as planned. Chairman Markham asked staff to review the small stop signs at signalized intersections in the Tower Plaza. Chairman Markham asked staff to look into getting Rule 20A funds for under grounding of overhead utility lines, these funds, paid by utilities based on a percentage of their billing, may be used at a local jurisdiction's discretion for under grounding of overhead lines. Chairman Markham suggested a workshop focusing on Jefferson Avenue/Winchester Road, Rancho California Road/Ynez Road and Rancho California Road/Front Street intersections, the north/south corridors, Western By-Pass Phase 2, and Diaz Road connection to Washington Street and other Level D, E, and F intersections as advance planning is necessary, and the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program review could also be incorporated. He believes such a workshop with Traffic and Planning staffs, businesspeople, and possibly consultants, be held in a room large enough to gather around maps/exhibits. Chairman Markham stated the plans for the Overland Overpass show a dual left-turn lane southbound to eastbound which is double-stripped to Del Taco. He feels if these plans are implemented, a left-turn on the west side of Jefferson Avenue could not be made until the third driveway of Stater Brothers. Commissioner Guerriero asked staff to advise the Commission if any California Traffic Engineers Workshops are available. Chairman Markham asked for any information/workshops on traffic calming measures. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JANUARY 23, 1997 It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero and seconded by Commissioner Perry to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 P.M. The motion was unanimously carried. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, February 27, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Larry Markham Secretary MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING ADVANCED TRAFFIC PLANNING WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13, 1997 A Special Workshop Meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order by Co-Chairman Guerriero on Thursday, February 13, 1997, 6:03 P.M., at the City Hall Main Conference Room, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula. PRESENT: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry COMMISSIONERS: Markham Chairman Markham arrived at 6:08 P.M. Also present were Director of Public Works Joseph Kicak, Associate Engineer All Moghadam, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle and Minute Clerk Pat Kelley. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Markham called for non-agenda items at 6:10 P.M. Bill Benson, 30734 Del Rey Road, Temecula, presented the Commission with a traffic count he had conducted for Del Rey Road between Calle Pina Colada and Buena Suerte. He suggested Botts Dots be placed on the roadway to alert drivers of a pending stop sign and said he is willing to purchase such buttons for a test area to determine their effectiveness. He also express concerns of dangerous situations caused by people turning right at red lights on Solana Way and Ynez Road and Winchester Road an Ynez Roads. Chairman Markham stated the items would be referred to staff and taken under consideration. COMMISSION WORKSHOP Chairman Markham stated his concept for this meeting was a forum for the Commissioners to voice their concerns, ideas and questions which, staff would then review for associated costs, prioritization, etc. and return with their recommendations or responses. Commissioner Johnson stated his comments are: 1. The no-parking area along the south side of Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road to the Temecula City Limits recommendation - there are long stretches with no access and utility and/or maintenance people will have to park on side streets which are often a significant distance from their work area. He suggested a bike lane for the south side of Rancho California Road instead of red curbing; or "no parking" for several hundred feet east of the Post Office. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13. 1997 Chairman Markham asked staff to confirm if utility or maintenance workers are allowed to park along red curbs that are signed "No Parking" zones if cones and other safety devices are in place for traffic control. Commissioner Guerriero stated the red curbing of Rancho California Road was initially raised because of sight distance problems at Rancho California Road and Meadows Parkway. Ynez Road and Rancho California Road Intersection - He recommends restrict parking on Rancho California Road east of Ynez Road; or widen Rancho California Road through to Moraga Road. Public Works Director Kicak mentioned that at a recent meeting with Bill Johnson, the property owner of Oscar's and vacant land to the south of the park property, Mr. Johnson had agreed to give an easement for a driveway into the park, opposite Sierra Vista. m Northbound traffic on Ynez Road at the intersection with Rancho California Road - he feels additional stacking room is needed. Santiago Road and Ynez Road - showing an increase of traffic. Recommendation: Widen Ynez Road between Rancho California Road and Pauba Road. Mr. Kicak reported widening of the east side of Ynez Road, between Rancho California Road and Pauba Road, is in the Capitol Improvement Program (CIP) with construction in 1998/99. Front Street and Santiago Road - He has observed an increase in traffic beginning to form in that area. 6. Intersections of Del Rey/Buena Suerte and Del Rey/Del Repose - sight distance problems. Chairman Markham stated that area will be on the next meeting's agenda. Associate Engineer Moghadam reported staff has not had sufficient time to develop the information for the next meeting due to slurry seal work in the area. Commissioner Coe reported his concerns are: Rainbow Canyon Road and Pala Road - Possible "All-Way Stop" sign he feels it should be revisited. Texaco Service Station on Front Street - Rider trucks currently park on the west side of the limits sight distances,. m Ynez Road and Rancho California Road - Oscar's is creating a serious traffic problem while publicizing their product in the center median. Mr. Moghadam stated the Police Department talked to Oscar's management and employees will now stay on the sidewalk. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13. 1997 4. Widen Hwy 79(S) to Interstate 15 5. Pala Bridge - He questioned if a decision regarding the new location. Mr. Kicak stated it will be about 400' east of the existing bridge. The Environmental Study will probably have total approval by the end of March 1997. The existing bridge will remain as a bike/pedestrian trail. Mr. Kicak stated the Hwy 79(S) and Pala Road intersection will be resignalized when the bridge is complete and Hwy 79(S) widened. Commissioner Guerriero had the following observations: 1. North Jefferson Avenue, north of Winchester Road - at a minimum the northwest corner shopping center needs another turnout north of the existing one. 2. Diaz Road extension to Murrieta shown in the CIP - desperately need this extension, 35 to 36 percent of the Jefferson Avenue traffic is going to Murrieta. 3. Enterprise Circle/Winchester Road - signal needed at the west entrance. 4. Front Street and Rancho California Road - a southbound tractor/trailer rigs making a left turn backs up traffic and impacts the entire signal system. Extend or change the phasing. 5. Oscar's - red curb west of their entrance as eastbound vehicles are stopping in the #2 lane to enter the parking lot due to parked cars; or make a right-turn-only lane. 6. Walcott Corridor - how to get vehicular traffic to use it. He said the design speed was going to be 45 MPH, but came back at 35 MPH so people probably will not use it. 7. Meadows Parkway and Rancho California Road - may need a traffic signal due to an increase of development in the area. 8. Extension of Meadows Parkway to La Serena in CIP - should be left as is because if extended, it will impact Calle Medusa. 9. Margarita Road south of Rancho California Road, both directions - need additional speed enforcement. 10. North bound Cosmic Drive at Rancho California Road - strip the street (Cosmic Drive), right-turn drivers get confused and activate the signal trying to decide the correct lane. Mr. Moghadam stated that the signal timing and phasing would be corrected immediately. 11. Astroid Way and Rancho California Road - Astroid Way is now being used by Starlight Ridge traffic since the installation of the traffic signal at Cosmic Drive and Rancho California Road. 12. West bound Rancho California Road at the Target Shopping Center entrances - right- turn-only lane needs delineators; or close driveways. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13, 1997 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Pauba Road between Meadows Parkway and Ynez Road - speed limits should be reviewed and speed enforcement increased. Pujol Street, south of Main Street - a flat-bed rig parks on Pujol Street where it curves and creates a dangerous situation, possible red curb at curve. Staff will check on it. Jefferson Avenue and Winchester Road - impossible to make a left turn out of the driveway of the car wash - maybe a sign "no" left turns. Mr. Moghadam stated a physical barrier is probably the only solution as closing existing driveways is very difficult if not impossible. Additional traffic enforcement on major streets as it is common to see vehicles not stopping at red lights when turning right and traveling at excessive speeds. Middle school plans on North General Kearney - would like to have the Commission review the plans and provide input in the design phase rather than trying to resolve traffic issues after the fact. Winchester Road in front of Chaparral High School - major problems getting in and out. Front Street - If the Commission had been part of the design for the boardwalks going in Old Town, traffic cut-outs might have been considered which would get cars completely off the roadway. Jefferson Avenue Ad Hoc Committee - Questioned what happened to the recommendation to install a concrete median with dedicated left-turn lanes to avoid cross-over right of way violations. Mr. Kicak stated cost estimates were given to Marty and he never heard anything back. Commissioner Johnson stated another suggestion was to restripe for left-turn zones and eliminate acceleration lanes. Commissioner Perry stated there is a threat of a head-on collisions inside the center lane with two vehicles attempting left turning movements, and a designation of left turn pockets are needed. Chairman Markham remarked there are problems due to driveways which are opposing. The proposed Overland Bridge stripping plan shows all driveways to Del Taco frozen due to double left lanes to access the bridge. Look at a median or interim stripping, inform the businesses in exchange for closing off or restricting a driveways to a right-in/out configuration, the Stater Bros' center driveway will be signalized. The entire section should be looked at, not individual sections. Mr. Kicak stated staff needs to look at any restrictions of moving from one parking lot to another. Chairman Markham suggested reciprocal easements as there are only two or three ownerships in the area. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13.1997 Commissioner Perry expressed the following concerns: 1. Consider cameras installed on signal posts that take pictures of cars going thru red lights. Mr. Moghadam will research the pros and cons. A possibility is having "Red Lights Are Enforced By Cameras" signs posted at the City limits. Mr. Kicak mentioned an application for an ISTEA grant for cameras to monitor traffic at intersections has been submitted. Murrieta recently installed such cameras. 2. Jefferson Avenue south of Winchester Road from Overland Drive to the City Limits - traffic increasing. 3. Margarita Road completion in the CIP - should be accelerated as Margarita Road is becoming a primary north and south arterial from Hwy 79S for the north of Temecula; particularly widening approximately 2,000' south of Pauba Road. Chairman Markham offered the following items for consideration: 1. Jefferson Avenue, from Overland Drive north to Santa Gertrudis Creek - the entire area should be reviewed. Most of the driveways are the old style with 8" curbs and have been broken up by drivers trying to exit fast enough to beat the traffic or they almost stop in the curb lane so they do not bottom out. Standard commercial return driveways would solve a lot. 2. Winchester Road from Jefferson Avenue to Diaz Road - extend median to the second entrance of Enterprise Circle, prohibit left turn lanes; signalize the westerly entrance of Enterprise Circle. 3. Diaz Road at Rancho California Road - Old Town Plan shows tie into Vincent Moraga and possibly tieing into Felix Valdez and the Western Bypass. Why wait for the Western Bypass the second intersection is worst due of no signals. 4. Rancho California Road and Ynez Roads intersection - double left turn lanes on Ynez Road; widened Rancho California Road from Ynez Road to the freeway to get additional left-turn movements. 5. Old Town Streetscape Plan - is Front Street, immediately south of Rancho California Road, to be widened. Mr. Kicak stated he is not sure, but Front Street will be 40' at the 6th Street parking lot. Chairman Markham stated the Commission would like to review the design plans. 6. Rancho California Road and Front Street - additional turning capacity needed. 7. Meadowview Area in general - develop a comprehensive plan of the Meadowview loop and get the Homeowner Association's agreement so the issue can be permanently resolved. Install a traffic circle, change roads, close streets for example. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13, 1997 Los Ranchitos, Santiago Estates, Santiago Ranchos - area is developing problems due to differences in land use and high speed traffic. Look at circulation elements, realignments. Diaz Road through to Washington Street - work with the Rancho California Water District (RCWD) and finish Diaz Road, which is dedicated, to RCWD's property line and let Murrieta finish their section. Mr. Kicak reported Ben Minamide, City of Murrieta, said if Temecula wants to build Diaz Road go right ahead and Mr. Minamide estimates it will cost $4 million. Chairman Markham stated Murrieta wants Diaz Road to be a four-lane road to Murrieta Hot Springs Road when a two-lane connector, no bridge widening can be built. One problem is the City of Murrieta not accepting it for maintenance and then RCWD has the liability and they will not allow a road to be built that puts them in a liable situation. 10o Overland Drive to Diaz Road - needs to extend west across the creek. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Commissioner Perry commented Overland Drive ending at Margarita Road, just south of North General Kearney Road, creates another Z shape situation. Mr. Kicak stated in conjunction with the mall, Margarita Road from Winchester Road to Solana Way will be widened, and proposed development on the northeast corner of Solana Way and Margarita Road will complete that portion of Margarita Road; Overland Drive coming across Ynez Road into Margarita Road will eventually tie into the bridge. Mr. Kicak mentioned according to the original traffic study that determined functional circulation, Diaz Road had 30,000 cars per day; most recent study shows 9,000; Western Bypass Corridor still fairly high. Rancho Way - He asked Rancho Way going to come off the general plan since the City is building a park over the alignment. Mr. Kicak replied a general plan amendment for a circulation element is needed to take it off and at the same time do Overland Drive to Diaz Road. Pujol Street - will it connect to the Western Bypass and then up the hill. Mr. Kicak will look into it. Rancho California Road east of Ynez Road - signalize, red curb, restrict left turn movements, Design of collector streets with driveways; i.e., Calle Medusa - do we want these to be tree-branch type circulation systems; look at traffic circles, cul-de-sacs, while still maintaining proper fire, police and pedestrian access; 40' or less width to control speed since speed surveys would not be required. Pujol Street and Main Street - consider a three-way stop at this intersection. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13, 1997 GENERAL DISCUSSION Commissioner Johnson suggested putting in a trial traffic circle at Cosmic Drive and Santa Cecilia to determine traffic calming effectiveness, costs, impact to fire and police, etc. Commissioner Guerriero asked if this Commission could be involved with the plans of the mall, specifically safety and traffic issues and questioned if a pedestrian overpass to Palm Plaza was considered. Mr. Kicak replied he would have Forest Cities Development Traffic Engineer present their plans at a Commission meeting. Forest Cities Traffic Engineer developed the traffic plan -- i.e., widening of Margarita Road, signals around perimeter, deceleration lanes at the entrances, etc. -- and a consultant will be selected soon for those projects. Kenneth Ray, 31647 Pio Pico, Temecula, asked why traffic plans for the proposed mall were not brought to the Commission. Mr. Kicak responded that since the proposed project is smaller than the original plan and the original EIR's traffic study addressed the issues, the plans do not have to be reconsidered. Commissioner Coe stated the Commission's mandate has been to solve problems rather than to prevent problems. Commissioner Guerriero remarked that as a Commission, it is necessary to address our posture with the fire and police departments and what impact this Commission has with them as there is no interaction. Commissioner Guerriero stated several Commissioners visited other cities to determine the pros and cons of a Neighborhood Traffic Watch, developed a proposal which was agreed to and then it was dropped. Writing educational newspaper articles regarding everyday traffic situations; i.e., when does a car continue after a traffic guard has the children across the street; how long can you travel in a left-turn lane; justification needed for stop signs, speed bumps, etc. Chairman Markham suggested video tapes explaining how different traffic methods work would educate the Commission and the public. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned San Diego's neighborhood traffic watch tapes were brought back and should be in the files. Chairman Markham suggested it would be beneficial to do traffic counts to determine where traffic is originating. Mr. Benson offered to set up a group of retired and other interested people to help with anything the City needs at no cost. Commissioner Perry suggested they could be called the Traffic Watch Task Force. Chairman Markham expressed his appreciation for the offer and asked Mr. Benson to work with Mr. Moghadam. Chairman Markham asked staff to consider innovative things such as 11' foot lanes, red curbs, less bike lanes, etc. to obtain needed capacity. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned the valley's growth means more and more white lights which violate the Mt. Palomar Observatory agreement. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 13, 1997 Mr. Kicak assured the Commissioners that staff will address each item to determine what can and cannot be done with a possible time frame. He cautioned that to accomplish many of the items mentioned tonight, a consultant might have to be hired which means the general plan circulation element should be reviewed. Chairman Markham reiterated the Commissioners want to be more involved in the CIP process and to deal with traffic issues on a proactive basis and perhaps a consultant needs to be hired to handle specific projects and he is willing to interact with the City Council. Mr. Moghadam handed out traffic calming information. He reported Stage 1 traffic calming methods have been activated in Temecula; Stage 2 have not. It was moved by Commissioner Coe and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to adjourn the meeting at 8:20 P.M. The motion was unanimously carried. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, February 27, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall, Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Larry Markham Secretary ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, Associate Engineer February 27, 1997 Item 1 Speed Limit - Jefferson Avenue from Winchester Road to North City Limits RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance re-affirming the speed limit on Jefferson Avenue from Winchester Road to North City Limits. BACKGROUND: In order to enforce posted speed limits, an Engineering and Traffic Survey must be conducted within a five (5) year period per Section 40803(c) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC). In order to comply with the requirements of the CVC, the Engineering and Traffic Surveys must periodically be updated. The Traffic Division has conducted Engineering and Traffic Surveys to update the existing 50 MPH speed limit on Jefferson Avenue from Winchester Road to north City Limits. Posted speed limits are primarily based on an analysis of prevailing speeds (851h percentile), as measured in the field, accidem history and roadway conditions. Section 627 of the CVC defines Engineering and Traffic Survey as follows: Engineering and Traffic Survey 627.(a) "Engineering and traffic survey", as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the Department of Transportation for use by the state and local authorities. Co) An engineering and u~affic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, censideration of all of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, Waffle, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. 1. The following table is a summary of the January, 1997 speed survey and prevailing speeds.

Traffic or roadside conditions that are not readily apparent to the drivers were not observed on Jefferson Avenue between Winchester Road and the north City Limits. Therefore, the existing posted speed limit of 50 MPH should remain the same. Upon modification to the existing signing, striping and access on this segment of Jefferson Avenue, staff will conduct a new survey to determine if a different speed limit is justified.

BACKGROUND: At the December 12, 1996 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission reviewed a request regarding parking restriction on Rancho California Road between Margadta Road and east City Limits. After a brief discussion, the Commission unanimously approved a "No Parking" zone on both sides of Raneho California Road east of Margarita Road to the City Limits at Butterfield Stage Road (verbatim transcript is attached as Exhibit "A'). The PublicFrraffie Safety Commission' s recommendation was placed on the January 28, 1997 City Council meeting as a consent ealender item (Exhibit "B"). However, this item was pulled from the consent ealender due to an apparent inceusisteney between the Public/Traffic Safety Commission's recommendation and the staff report to the City Council. Therefore, this item is placed on the agenda for further review, discussion and recommendation. Exhibits "C" and "D' are the December 12, 1996 Agenda Report and the approved minutes of this item.

Staff report All Moghadam: Basically, I'll make it very brief. I'm sure everybody has used that Post Office. We have received many phone calls from the Post Master to establish "No Parking" zone on both sides of the driveways basically because people are parking there, especially larger vehicles and they obstruct the view of people who are coming out of these driveways, especially the driveway to the east which is a full movement driveway, and can make a left out of that driveway, so you need to be able to see the traffic approaching from the west, westbound traffic approaching at a high rate of speed. We reviewed the situation and again recommend establishing a "No Parking" zone. After this report was submitted, one of our Council people brought up a good point. Why aren't we making the entire length of Rancho California Road "No Parking Bicycle Zone", as designated in the General Plan. I agree with that, I just wanted to look at this particular issue at this time, however, I really don't see any reason why we cannot establish hike lane, no parking from Margarita Road all the way to east City limits. I don't notice any demand for parking. This is a four lane arterial currently the only place parking occurs is in front of the duck pond, some people park there to use the park. If the Commission desires to entertain the motion, I will change the recommendation to "No Parking - Bicycle Lane" zone on Rancho California Road from Margarita Road to east City limits. Chairman Coc: I also spoke with that Councilman, and he was hoping we could do that this evening too. Do you have any problem with that? Commissioner Markham: I have no problem with that Commissioner Perry: Neither do I Commissioner Markham: If you approve this, all you'll do is end up with the postal trucks will be parking 101 feet east of the driveway, so I have no problem with it at all Chairman Coe: So your recommendation would then read what Ali Moghadam: Read to recommend to the City Council to establish "No Parking" zones on both sides of Rancho Califomia Road from Margaxita Road to east City limits. Commissioner Perry: On both sides of Rancho California Road? All Moghadam: Yes Commissioner Markham: You have only one section on Rancho California Road that is not widened, down where one farm house is out there, just west of Butterfield, but other than that, there's nothing, no reason not to. Ali Moghadam: Yes, we'd just post signs wherever applicable. Chairman Coe: That would establish an ability to get a bike lane in there much quicker than wouldn't it? Ali Moghadam: Yes Commissioner Markham: I'll make that motion Commissioner Guerriero: Second Chairman Coe: Moved and seconded that we accept the staffs revised recommendation to establish a "No Parking" zone on both sides of Rancho California Road east of Margarita Road to the City limits at Butterfield Stage Road, is that correct. Ali Moghadam: Yes Chairman Coe: Any further discussion.'? All in favor say Aye Aye 5 Noes - 0 Chairman Coe: So moved, vote unanimous Chairman Coe: That should take care of another item here, Ali Moghadam: That would also take care of Item # 6 ("No Parking" zones - Rancho Califomia Road at Meadows Parkway - Recommendation: That the public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing Parking" zones on Rancho California Road at Meadows Parkway.) Commissioner Guerriero: Since we are on that item, and before we move it, I'd like to thank Ali very much for your quick response to the request to extend the delineators and put in "No U- Turn" signs, that has helped, in my opinion, immensely. I haven't seen the near rear enders that we were having. Chairman Coe: I think in my 3 year's, that's the first time we took care of 2 items in one vote. All Moghadam: The Post Master was notified that this item was being presented. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: EXHIBIT "B' APPROVAL CITY ATTORNEY FINANCE DIRECTOR CITY MANAGER CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT City Council/City Manager Joseph Kicak, Director of Public Works/City Engineer January 28, 1997 "No Parking" Zone on Rancho California Road between Margarita Road and East City Limits PREPARED BY: All Moghadam, Associate Engineer~ RECOMMENDATION: The Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO. 97- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA ESTABLISHING A "NO PARKING" ZONE ON RANCHO CALIFORNIA ROAD BETWEEN MARGARITA ROAD AND EAST CITY LIMITS AS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT "A" BACKGROUND: The City received two (2) separate requests to establish "No Parking" zones on various locations on Rancho California Road including in front of the Post Office east of Margarita Road. Rancho California Road is designated as a four-lane divided arterial roadway on the circulation element of the General Plan. Curr6Ptly: this roadway is 86 feet wide with two (2) travel lanes in each direction and striped median/left-turn lane. The speed limit is posted at 55 l~r>l-i un Rancho California Road east of Margarita Road. Although on-street parking does not often occur on Rancho California Road, an occasional on- street parking could create an unsafe condition for bicyclists and vehicular traffic. Therefore, parking should be restricted on Rancho California Road from Margarita Road to the easterly City limits. At the December 12, 1996 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission reviewed the proposed parking restriction on Rancho California Road and unanimously approved staffs recommendation to eliminate parking on Rancho California Road east of Margarita Road. It should be noted that Rancho California Road has been identified as a "No Parking" - Bike Lane arterial roadway on the City's General Plan. -I- r:~agdri>t~97~0128\RCR/vIARG.PRFJajp FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the Department of Public Works Striping/Stenciling Account No. 001- 164-601-5410.

BACKGROUND: The City received a request from the Temecula Post Office to establish a ~No Parking" zone on the south side of Rancho California Road in front of and adjacent to the Post Office driveways. Rancho California Road is designated as an arterial 4-lane roadway on the Circulation Element of the General Plan. Currently, Rancho California Road is 86 feet wide with two (2) travel lanes in each direction and a swiped median/left-turn lane. The posted speed limit on this portion of Rancho California Road is 55 MPH. The Post Office currently has two (2) access driveways to Rancho California Road. The westerly driveway is designated as a right-in, right-out only and the easterly driveway is a full access driveway. Parked vehicles adjacent to these driveways limit the visibility of the oncoming cars. Therefore, parking should be restricted adjacent to beth driveways per attached Exhibit "B". FISCAL IMPACT: 400 feet of red curb at $0.40 per L.F. A~chment: 1. Exhibit "A" - Location Map 2. = $160.00 Exhibit "B" - Proposed Parking Restriction EXHIBIT "D" PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION DECEMBER 12.1996 It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to extend the red curb on the north side of Mira Loma Drive by 30 feet on the east and west ends of the driveways; to fill in the red curb between the two (2) driveways; and also to have staff look at the drainage problems with the silt. The motion carried as foltows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None "No-Parking" Zone - Rancho California Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam stated that staff has received a request from the Post Office to establish a "No Parking" zone on Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road in front of the Post Office. However, since Rancho California Road is a major arterial, parking should be restricted on both sides of Rancho California Road from Margarita Road to the east City Limits. Mr. Moghadam said this recommendation covered Items 3 and 6 on the Agenda. It was moved by Commissioner Markham and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to establish a "No Parking" zone on both sides of Rancho California Road, east of Margarita Road, to the Temecula City Limits at Butterfield Stage Road. The motion carried as follows; AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Markham, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None "No-Parking" Zone - Rainbow Canyon Road at Birdie Drive Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff recommendation to establish a "No Parking" zone on Rainbow Canyon Road at Birdie Drive to improve the visibility of approaching vehicles when exiting Birdie Drive. Commissioner Markham asked if establishing the red curb on the north side of Rainbow Canyon Road from Pala Road to Pechanga Creek would be beneficial due to the high speed traffic down Rainbow Canyon Road. Mr. Moghadam replied he saw no disadvantages. Commissioner Coe stated that might impact the homes in the area who already have limited parking, ITEM NO. 4 AGENDA REPORT TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission FROM: Ali Moghadam, Associate Engineer DATE: February 27, 1997 Item 4 "All-Way Stop" - Pala Road at Rainbow Canyon Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny the request to establish an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road. BACKGROUND: Request for instaliation of an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Pala Road and Rainbow Canyon Road was reviewed by the Public/Traffic Safety Commission on July 25, 1996. This request was defied pending installation of the traffic signal at the intersection of State Route 79 South (SR 795) and Pala Road. It was anticipated that the traffic signal at SR 79(S) and Pala Road would improve the traffic flow on Pala Road and at its intersection with Rainbow Canyon Road. However, it appears that the traffic signal has not improved the conditions at this intersection significantly. New traffic volume data (Exhibit "C") was collected to determine if this intersection met the warrants required for installation of an "All-Way Stop". The existing traffic volumes satisfy the "minimum traffic volumes" warrant as follows: The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 1,242 as compared to 350 (70% of 500) needed to meet this pertion of the warrant. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages 148 during the same eight (8) hours as compared to 140 (70% of 200) needed to meet this portion of the warrant. Since the 851h percentile approach speed on Pala Road exceeds 40 MPH, 70 percent of the volume requirements were used. Based on the existing traffic volumes and the capacity of an "All-Way Stop" intersection, it is staffs opinion that an "All-Way Stop" at this location could cause the southbound traffic on Pala Road to hack up to SR 79(S) and adversely affect the operation of this intersection. The traffic volumes in this area will continue to increase with development of the eurrentiy vacant properties within the City and the unincorporated areas of the County.

Although we did see a slight decline in total response volume this year in comparison to 1995, looking back on the last 4 years statistics indicates a trend towards a steady increase in call volume. We anticipate that this trend will continue, particularly in light of the projected population increase predicted in the coming years for our community. Automatic defibrillators were added to Our compliment of life-saving equipment in 1996. Each engine and the truck company are equipped with a defibrillator used for patients suffering from ventricular fibrillation during a cardiac arrest. We were the first fire department on the west coast to purchase and place into service a Carin Iris infrared helmet. This helmet can pick up a 1/2 degree difference in temperature change when in use. Its uses are many, but the biggest advantage is the ability to see through dense smoke during a structure fire allowing us to rescue possible trapped or unconscious victims quickly. We are also able to detect the initial source of the fire more rapidly. The Temecula Rotary club has already raised funds to purchase the second unit that will be placed into service on Engine 84, assigned to the east side station, within the first quarter of this year. I am pleased to inform you that the new Park View Fire Station is near completion. We anticipate the move from Our temporary station site at Linfield school sometime in late March. Also, the volunteer program will be relocating to this facility. The new station will serve as the battalion headquarters for the department. I wish to thank each of you for your continued and valued support. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns you may have. It is truly a pleasure serving our fine city. By: John J.
