SI;)eed Limit and "Stop" Sign Installation on Via Norte and Del Rey Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's report recommending re-affirmation of the 35 MPH speed limit on Via Norte and Del Rey Road based on the road's design speed and establishing "All-Way Stops" at Del Rey Road and Solana Way and Del Rey Road at Avenida Del Reposo due to limited sight distances. Kathy Hoagland, 40481 Calle Fiesta, Temecula, representing the Meadowview Homeowners Association, stated Avenida Buena Suerta remains an issue even though it may not meet traffic warrants. She reported four (4) homeowners have been named to consider traffic calming methods; and the Board does not believe stripping the roadway edge is viable as it gives a false sense of security because people may think it is a bike lane or a walk path. Commissioner Perry stated sight distances are adequate at 35 MPH and questioned if Meadowview residents are willing to suffer the inconvenience of stop signs to slow speeds down, Ms. Hoagland said she believes the majority of residents would not mind the inconvenience. Commissioner Guerriero said he is interested in being involved in an ad hoc committee to develop traffic calming methods; and applauded staff's idea of a Neighborhood Traffic Watch Program and is also interested in being involved in its establishment, It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance re-affirming the 35 MPH speed limit on Via Norte and Del Rey Road and to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution establishing an "All Way Stop" at the intersections of Del Rey Road at Solana Way and Del Rey Road at Avenida Del Reposo. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson Chairman Markham asked staff to consider traffic calming methods at Buena Suerta and Del Rey Roads which will address Mr. Palmer's concerns. Reouest for Crosswalk and School Crossing Traffic Signal at Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented staff's report recommending denial of a traffic signal as vehicular traffic does not meet warrant requirements. Staff proposes conducting a study for alternatives --i.e., flashing yellow lights, crosswalk with guard -- after school opens in July 1997. 2 R:\traffic\cornmissn\97\032797 ~min/~jp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MARCH 27. 1997 Brian Baber, 31677 Corte Padrera, expressed his concern that children attending Vintage Hills Elementary School will cross Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo instead of going to Meadows Parkway where there is a 4-way stop. He would like to have a demand traffic signal and crosswalk at Rancho Vista Road and Camino Romo. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) is considering a "fee" busing program; and is considering a crossing guard at Meadows Parkway. In his opinion, a crosswalk at Camino Romo would create a dangerous situation. Robert Brand, 31605 Corte Padrera, asked about other alternatives to make certain the children can cross Rancho Vista Road safely. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned the possibility of signage notifying drivers they are approaching a school zone or stating children present and asked staff to investigate Section 21372 of the Vehicle Code; another possibility might be a flashing yellow light. He will contact TVUSD next week regarding their Safe Route to School Program for this area. Nell Stone, 31786 Corte Padrera, expressed his support for a crosswalk/traffic signal at Rancho Vista Road and Camino Romo. Judy Baber, 31677 Corte Padrera, stated her main objective is to have a safe place and a safe way for the children to cross Rancho Vista Road. It was moved by Commissioner Coe, seconded by Commissioner Guerriero, to table the item until the April 24, 1997 meeting while staff reviews Section 21372 of the Vehicle Code and/or considers other alternatives; and Commissioner Guerriero pursues a meeting with the School District.

It was moved by Commissioner Coe to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing a 30 MPH speed limit on Corte Cantera. The motion died for lack of a second.

Bill Dendy, 41975 Winchester Road, developer of the Westside Business Center, stated his CC&Rs contain a "no parking" clause for Winchester Road. He mentioned seeing trucks parked for two to three days on Winchester Road, and when he tells the drivers about Temecula's no truck parking ordinance, he is told the fine is cheaper than a motel room. Mr. Dendy offered to pay for the installation of "No Parking" signs. Sergeant Crisp reported four (4) violations for truck parking have been issued in the last 60 days. Commissioner Guerriero suggested white curbs for unloading zones and "No Parking" signs. Chairman Markham asked staff to develop a uniform policy for the circulation streets - i.e, no parking by exception or parking by exception -- and for loading/stopping zones. 5 R:\traffic\cornmissn\97\032797 ,min/ajp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MARCH 27. 1997 Commissioner Guerriero suggested getting policies on this matter to review from San Diego, Riverside and Rancho Cucamonga, and to determine any direction provided by the Traffic Engineer's manual. Chairman Markham requested staff provide an overlay of bike path locations; and to show Winchester Road, west of Diaz Road on the map. It was moved by Commissioner Perry, seconded by Commissioner Guerriero, to have the matter returned as an action item on the April 24, 1997 meeting to give staff an opportunity to obtain other city's ordinances and to develop map/overlays. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Moghadam reported on the following concerns raised at the February 27, 1997 meeting: Rainbow Canyon Road Resurfacing - Presently scheduled for 1999. A consultant has been hired to study paving prioritizing and Rainbow Canyon Road will probably be rescheduled for an earlier date. Photo Enforcement - He talked to the City of Poway's traffic engineer who stated photo enforcement has been effective. The manufacturer receives a percentage of the fines rather than an up-front charge. Many of the pictures do not clearly identify the driver and therefore a citation cannot be issued. Neighborhood Watch Program - The Police Department has an individual assigned to this program who can be invited to make a presentation to the Commission. Commissioner Guerriero asked that both the Neighborhood Watch and Gang Intervention officers be invited to make presentations. Rancho California Road East of Ynez Road - A median closure and no parking recommendation will be on the April 24, 1997 agenda. Steve Sanders ADpreciation Plaque - To be presented at the April S, 1997 City Council meeting. Chairman Markham asked about the Capital Improvement Project list.

Mr. Moghadam stated that issue will be on the April 24, 1997 agenda. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Sergeant Rodney Crisp reported the Police Department received a grant to purchase four (4) radar units for the traffic units and another radar trailer has been ordered. There were six (6) fatalities in Temecula last year and the City's traffic officers will be in court for the next several weeks as the cases come to trial. Commissioner Guerriero mentioned noticing several cars for sale being parked on corners. Sergeant Crisp stated quite a few citations for this have been issued recently. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT Battalion Chief John Winder reported several fire department personnel have received Heavy Rescue Systems II training, which involves techniques for rescuing victims from collapsed areas. Additional equipment for this work is needed which should cost under $20,000, and additional training at about $5,000 to 7,000. Commissioner Coe asked if a safety exposition is planned for this year. Chief Winder stated one is being planned for 1997 and it is hoped it will become an annual event. Commissioner Guerriero inquired about a multi-agency training session. Chief Winder reported one is planned for May 8, 1997 at the Community Recreation Center. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Perry asked if there are plans to correct the sight restriction created by a pile of dirt at North General Kearney and Margarita Road. Mr. Moghadam replied the proposed mall development, will widen Margarita Road which should take care of the problem. Commissioner Guerriero inquired into the progress of developing an ordinance for false alarms. Chief Winder stated there is nothing to report at this time. Commissioner Guerriero discussed the need for an ordinance on tow trucks. Sergeant Crisp stated he has not noticed any problem and an ordinance is probably premature at this time. Commissioner Guerriero asked if there is an emergency evacuation route plan in place and if not, the Commission should look at evacuation routes. Sergeant Crisp stated he was unaware of an official plan, but believes one could be implemented fairly quickly. Commissioner Coe stated since the City owns the duck pond, it should be possible to widen Ynez Road to facilitate right-hand turns off of Ynez Road heading east of Rancho California Road. Mr. Moghadam replied that issue will be discussed at the April 24, 1997 meeting. 7 R:\treffic\comrnieen\97\O32797.rniNajp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MARCH 27, 1997 Commissioner Coe asked about placing dot delineators for the two left-turn lanes on southbound Front Street at Raneho California Road. He has noticed motorists in the number two lane going straight rather than turning left. The delineators might alert motorists of the correct driving pattern. Mr. Moghadam replied this can be done. Commissioner Coe mentioned there appears to be sufficient space on southbound Front Street approaching Rancho California Road to begin lane stripping a little sooner to allow motorists time to get into the appropriate lane. Chairman Markham reported on March 18, 1997, the City Council approved an amendment to the contract which includes the design for widening of 1,100 feet of Ynez Road, south of Rancho California Road. Chairman Markham inquired about the status of projects developed at the February 13, 1997 workshop. Mr. Moghadam stated the projects are being categorized and should be ready for the April 24, 1997 meeting. Chairman Markham asked about the progress of the Capital Improvement Plan being on the Commission's agenda for input before it is approved. Mr. Moghadam replied the matter is being discussed. Chairman Markham mentioned development of an ordinance regarding traffic control, fire suppression and overall safety at special events. Commissioner Guerriero said he has spoken to Councilmember Roberts who is considering the issue. Chairman Markham inquired about a Traffic Calming Workshop at a future meeting. He asked staff to schedule an ad hoc committee meeting regarding traffic calming methods for Meadowview, that he and Commissioner Guerriero will attend. Commissioner Guerriero requested blowup photos of possible solutions. Chairman Markham inquired if the Commissioners had received the Sunnyvale Conference package and material for the joint workshop with Murrieta and Temecula Councilmembers and Commissioners. It was moved by Commissioner Coe and seconded by Commissioner Guerriero to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 P.M. The motion was unanimously carried. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, April 24, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California.

Commissioner Perry asked why there was no morning period to match the 2:15 PM peak. Mr. Moghadam stated he did not know and it was very unusual to have such a high peak (209 vehicles) within a 15-minute period. Mr. Markham noted the high volumes was for eastbound traffic away from the school and everyone leaves school at about the same time, yet arrive at varying intervals. Judy Baber, 31677 Corte Podrera, stated the school district's opinion that Meadows Parkway is the appropriate school route is because there is no safe route to school, but the children will not walk the additional 700 feet to cross safely.

R:\traffic\commissn\minutes%gT\O42497/ajp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 m Chairman Markham inquired if the recommendation for a yellow warning light installation at Rancho Vista Road and Camino Romo had been forwarded to the City Council. Mr. Moghadam replied he was waiting for tonight's decision before forwarding the recommendation, but the yellow warning light is included in next fiscal year Capital Improvement Projects. Chairman Markham suggested a temporary or permanent asphalt sidewalk be constructed to connect with the existing sidewalk and bring the sidewalk to opposite Paseo Goleta and the yellow warning light. Commissioner Perry stated he sees Camino Romo as a potential hazard and would rather see crossing at Paseo Goleta, Sergeant Crisp stated that a crosswalk with a crossing guard at Paseo Goleta was preferable. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Perry to deny the request for installation of a crosswalk and a school crossing traffic signal on Rancho Vista Road near Camino Romo.

Chairman Markham noted Margarita Road, at Temecula Valley High School is an existing problem. Sergeant Crisp stated buses park on the east side of Margarita Road in the afternoons and red curbing would be helpful.

Commissioner Johnson asked who would pay for the signal at Via Las Colinas. Mr. Moghadam replied the City has budgeted this signal. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 Commissioner Johnson noted this median/signal modification will help traffic flow, but will not solve the area's long-term traffic problems and there remains a need to increase westbound storage. Chairman Markham commented he agrees with this proposal and reported Commissioner Guerriero had expressed to him his strong support for staff's proposal and would like to see the left-turn pocket into Town Center driveway extended to provide additional storage space. Sergeant Crisp and Chief Winder concurred with the proposal. It was the consensus of the Commissioners to have this issue brought back as an agenda item at a future Commission meeting. 6. Prioritization of Present and Future Traffic Improvement Needs (Discussion Item) It was moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Perry to continue this item to the meeting of May 22, 1997.

Winchester Road from Jefferson Avenue to Enterprise Circle West (second loop) - Install median island on Winchester Road from Jefferson Avenue to Enterprise Circle West and install a traffic signal at Winchester Road and Enterprise Circle West (second loop). Mr. Moghadam stated he discussed this item with property owners of the center at Jefferson Avenue and Winchester Road and they are agreeable. They are also requesting a "Keep Clear" pavement marking for the driveway to ARCO to prevent blocking of the driveway, and the possibility of a second northerly driveway, by Pasquales Restaurant. These issues will be brought back to the Commission at a later date. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 Chairman Markham stated he would like to see the driveway issue deferred until an overall Jefferson Avenue Study with an operational analysis regarding a raised median, consolidating and signalizing driveways, etc is completed. Mr. Moghadam stated owners seem to be willing to consider alternatives and participate in costs. Commissioner Perry mentioned when designing the median on Winchester Road, consider a long storage pocket for left turns onto Enterprise Circle from westbound Winchester Road. Commission Johnson and Chairman Markham concurred. Commissioner Johnson inquired about the installation of the signal at Margarita Road and Solana Way. Mr. Moghadam replied the proposed apartment complex at the northeast corner will be constructing roadway improvements and installing a traffic signal at this location. Commissioner Johnson asked when the last traffic count was taken for northbound traffic on Ynez Road at Rancho California Road as traffic has increased significantly in the last few months. Mr. Moghadam responded the count was conducted July 1996, with the next count scheduled for July 1997. Chairman Markham asked about widening of Ynez Road at the duck pond. Mr. Moghadam replied that widening is being considered along with expansion to Embassy Suites, and staff is also working on striping to provide northbound dual left-turn lanes on Ynez Road. He mentioned one problem is a majority of the traffic is heading for northbound Interstate 15 and there would be two lanes competing for one lane. Commissioner Perry inquired about the status of the 1-15/Hwy 79S temporary interchange. Mr. Moghadam replied the plans for an interim signal installation and realignment of Front Street have been signed and will go out to bid soon. Commissioner Perry asked for an update on the Western Bypass. Chairman Markham suggested an update of the City's position/direction be presented at the May 22, 1997 meeting. Commissioner Markham asked if the Commission will have an opportunity to review the Capital Improvement Plan before it goes to City Council. Chief Winder stated the committee is still in the prioritizing process. Chairman Markham asked if the Meadowview traffic calming methods meeting had been scheduled. Mr. Moghadam stated it had not been scheduled. Mr. Markham suggested getting in touch with Mr. Benson to determine a satisfactory time for their members and schedule the meeting with input back to the Commission at the May 22, 1997 meeting. He stated Mr. Palmer's request for improvements at Buena Suerta would be a good test case. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Sergeant Crisp reported Officer Alexander finished at the top of his motor school class and is out in traffic; and the second radar trailer is in the field. 5 R:\traffic\cornmissn\minutes\97\O42497/ajp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 Commissioner Perry asked why Area G has such a high crime rate.

BACKGROUND: The City received a requnst from a resident of the area to install an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Via Elinda and Carte Haleon. This request was made due to the restricted visibility caused by a relatively sharp curve on Via Elinda south of Calle Haleon. Both Via Elinda and Calle Haleon are residential streets with low traffic volumes. Although no accidents have been reported at this intersection, due to the very limited sight distance, installation of an "All-Way Stop" is recommended at this intersection. Per Caltrans Design Manual, at 30 MPH, 200 feet of stopping sight distance is required while the existing sight distance at this intersection is only 130 feet. FISCAL IMPACT: 4 "Stop" signs and limit lines @ $150.00 each = $600 TOTAL ~00 1. Exhibit "A" - Location Map 2.

BACKGROUND: Winchester Road between Jefferson Avenue and Diaz Road is designated as a major four-lane arterial highway on the circulation element of the General Plan. This roadway classification includes four (4) travel lanes and a raised median island within a 100 foot right-of-way (Exhibit "C"). The Department of Public Works has requested funding for installation of a raised median island on Winchester Road between Jefferson Avenue and Enterprise Circle West. This project will also include installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Winchester Road and Enterprise Circle West (Exhibit "A"). A traffic signal was also considered for the easterly Enterprise Circle; however, due to the proximity of this intersection to the intersection of Winchester Road and Jefferson Avenue it was not approved. A traffic signal at this location would adversely affect the overall traffic flow on Winchester Road. A median island exists on Winchester Road just m the west of Jefferson Avenue intersection; however, this median does not extend across Enterprise Circle East. Currently full access is allowed at both Enterprise Circle intersections on Winchester Road and at several driveways. The existing traffic volume dated July 1996 on this segment of Winchester Road is 16,727 (Exhibit "E"). This traffic volume is expected to increase drastically with development of the West Side Business Park, extension of Diaz Road to Washington Avenue in the City of Murrieta, construction of the Western Bypass Corridor, and development of a regional mall at the southeast corner of Winchester Road and Ynez Road. Speed limit is currently posted at 40 MPH on this portion of Winchester Road (Exhibit "F"). The unrestricted access and relatively high vehicular speed and volumes have resulted in an excessive number of accidents in this area. Between the period of January 1996 and April 1997, eleven (11) accidents were reported at Enterprise Circle East and two (2) at Enterprise Circle West (Exhibit "D"). Out of a total of 13 reported accidents at these intersections, ten (10) were caused by vehicles turning left. Three (3) of these accidents resulted in injury. A median island on Winchester Road between Jefferson Avenue and Enterprise Circle West will eliminate this type of accidents and will provide for a safe and protected left and "U" turns at the proposed signalized interseclion of Winchester Road and Enterprise Circle West. Also, by eliminating conflicting movements at these intersections and driveways, the capacity of this important east-west corridor could be greatly improved. Staff recognizes that the proposed median will cause some inconvenience to the drivers who currently are able to turn left in and out of Entorprise Circle and other driveways in this area. However, the additional safety and capacity provided by restricting left turns at these uncontrolled intersections and driveways well over weigh the minor inconveniences caused by median installation. It should be noted that the interchange improvements on Winchester Road at Interstate 15 will improve the traffic flow on Winchester Road and at the nearby intersection of Jefferson Avenue.

BACKGROUND: At the April 2.4, 1997 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, the Commission recommended that this item be continued and discussed at the May 22, 1997 meeting. Since the last Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting, staff had an opportunity to meet with Mr. Ed Dool (Temeeula Stage Stop) to further discuss the requested signing and striping. The requested items are as follows: Painted crosswalk (with or without flashing ligh0 at Front Street and Sixth Street. This intersection is eurren~y controlled by an "All-Way Stop" which includes limit lines and "Stop" pavement markings. A 25 MPH speed limit is posted in this area. There have been no reported pedestrian accidents at this intersection. It is staffs opinion that adequate traffic control devices exist hi the area and the requested crosswalk wLIl not improve or enhance the safety of pedestrians crossing at this intersection. Bus signage and directional flow. This item is currently being reviewed by the Old Town Local Review Board and the Planning Department. Both the Public Works Department and the Planning Department staff believe that the preferred route could be conveyed to the bus drivers without installation of the requested non- standard signs. ATM Parking on From Street. Limited time parking for ATM's are usually established on private properties and parking lots. Since Front Street is a public road it may not be appropriate to designate a parking for a private business as it may set precedent for other businesses. On-Street parking for trolley, taxi service and RTA. This issue should be considered as part of the design and improvements planned for the Front Street in the Old Town Temecula area. In addition, it is the City's intention to avoid proliferation of signs and markings to maintain the old western appearance of the Old Town area. FISCAL IMPACT: None 1. Exhibit "A" - Location Map 2.

Crosswalk and flashing yellow light (Front Street at Sixth Stree0 Absent a public health and safety issue, the Planning Division would discourage this request. We believe the proliferation of regulatory signs is inconsistent with the Old West theme that everyone is working hard to reinforce and preserve in Old Town. 2. Bus signage and directional flow The Old Town Specific Plan and other City Ordinances do not provide for bus directional signs. Off-site signs are generally prohibited in the City. The only "public signs" the Old Town Specific Plan provides for are Gateway Entry Signs, Public Parking Directional Signs, and Street Name Pole Signs. There does not appear to be a public health or safety issue. Therefore, we believe the proliferation of regulatory or guide signs is inconsistent with the Old West theme that everyone is working hard to reinforce and preserve in Old Town. Additionally, because they are non-regulatory signs, their design must be approved by the Old Town Local Review Board. 3. ATM parking on Front Street A few time limited parking spaces on Front Street for the ATM is acceptable to the Planning Division subject to the approval of the Traffic Commission. 4. On-street parking for trolleys, taxis, and RTA This issue is being addressed by the consultant preparing the design for the Old Town Streetscape Improvements.

Winchester Road between Jefferson Avenue and Diaz Road 2. Pauba Road between Ynez Road and Meadows Parkway 3. Diaz Road between Raneho California Road and Winchester Road 4. Rancho Vista Road between Ynez Road and Meadows Parkway BACKGROUND: Engineering and traffic surveys have been conducted to update the speed limits on the roadway segments as shown on Exhibit "A". Section 40803 of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) states that in order to enforce posted speed limits using radar, an engineering and traffic survey must be conducted within a five (5) year period. 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. (b) An engineering and traffic survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of all of the following: (1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. (2) Accident records. (3) Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
