Commissioner Telesio intbrmed Mr. Fisher that in October 1998, the Commission recommended that Kahwea Road be permanently closed. In response to Commissioner Edwards' comment about the fence matching an adjacent fence, Mr. Fisher agreed that the wrought iron fence was an improvement over tile old chain link fence. Mr. Bruce Fosdike, 45033 Corte Zorita, representing the Bridlevale Homeowners Association, suggested that three-way stop signs be placed at Corte Zorita and Via Cordoba, and Loma Linda and Via Ci,'doba due to the increased traffic and the resultant high speeds on Via Cordoba which is being utilized as an access road.

COM MISSION BUSINESS 2. Request ~r Street Closure - Calle Pina Colada RECOMMENDATION [t is recommended by the Public Works Department that the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny a request to close Calle Pina Colada west of Salt River Court. Deputy Director of Public Works Parks presented the staff report (of record). In respt~nse to Chairman Coe's inquiry about City Council policy regarding street closures, Deputy I)irector Parks stated that the City Council's adopted street closure policy includes a number of resp{msibilities tbr potentially impacted residents. For example, he noted that acceptance of financial resptlnsibility tbr the costs incurred in closing the street, and an engineering safety study has to be conducted to determine whether the street closure would create unreasonable traffic on other streets. Acting Director Hughes distributed copies of the policy to interested individuals. Chairman Coe expressed concern that those individuals who signed the petition to close Calle Pina Colada may not have been aware of the financial considerations. Commissiuner Edwards clarified that Kahwea Road was never opened. Mr. Michael Brannigan, 30960 Calle Pina Colada, spoke in favor of closing Calle Pina Colada. Mr..rack Morehouse. 41334 Salt River Court, stated that he had authored the petition to close Calle Pina Colada in an attempt to solve the traffic problems on the street. He noted that paving MWD's dirt ~'l}atl easement from Del Rey Road to La Serena Way would lessen the traffic on both Calle Pina Cidada and Kahwea Road. 2 r:\traffic\commissin\minutes\99X031199Amin In reply to Chairman Coe's question regarding consideration of the dirt road, Deputy Director Parks explained that a study had been completed several years ago, which reflected problems with the grade {if the road grade and building over MWD's easement. Chairman Coe requested that the feasibility of paving the dirt road be agendized for a future meeting. C~lmmissioner Markham mentioned that in meetings held with Meadowview homeowners approximately two (2) years ago, it had been suggested to study Meadowview's overall traffic pn~blems, but such a study has never been undertaken and therefore, consideration of individual traffic pn>blems continue to come before the Commission. He advised that the overall circulation patterns of the Meadowview area. including access points, ways to discourage through traffic. etc need to be studied or area traffic issues will continue to arise. Mr. Joe Femia, 30831 Avenida Buena Suerte, spoke in favor of keeping Calle Pina Colada open as it is an important route to Rancho School and Margarita Middle School and that it minimizes traffic on Avenida Barca which is a dangerous street. He suggested that increased police enforcement and stop signs will solve the speed problems. Mr. John Broderick. 40612 Nob Court, was of the opinion that keeping Calle Pina Colada open as well as Kahwea Road and completing North General Kearny Road would lessen the traffic problems. Mr. Roger Johnson. 30702 Calle Pina Colada, spoke in favor of closing the street as the volume and vehlcity of traffic has increased over the years and the speed undulations have not solved the speeding i~roblems. Ms. Heather Johnson, 30702 Calle Pina Colada, spoke in favor of closing the street as it is her opinion that traffic will increase and safety will decrease when the new school and the mall opens since Calle Pina Colada is used as an arterial road. Ms. Betty Pettet, 30642 Calle Pina Colada, remarked that she was intbrmed that the speed undulations would be removed by the City if the speeding problems were not resolved. In response to her question concerning costs, Deputy Director Parks stated that residents would pay for the labor and materials required to close the street; that the residents would be given an estimate; and that an assessment district would be/klnned or a procedure formulated to collect the money. He mentioned that the street closure p{llicy was adopted by the City Council in November 1995, which was after the public hearing regarding Kahwea Road closure. In resp~mse to Ms. Pettet's inquiry, Assistant Engineer Gonzalez explained how the speed survey was conducted. In response to Ms. Pettet's comments regarding La Serena Way, Deputy Director Parks stated that as part of the Circulation Element Plan, La Serena Way will be extended to Butterfield Stage Road, which will eventually be extended to Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Rancho California Road, but that the extensions will not occur tbr approximately five (5) years. Ms. Pettet expressed concern that the additional homes being built on Kahwea Road will increase area traffic. Ms. Marcelyn McComb. 30879 Calte Pina Colada, spoke in favor of closing Calle Pina Colada hecause of traffic. vandalism, and harassing incidents. 3 r:\traffic\commissin~minutes\99\031199Amin Mr. Rolfe Wittmann, 30617 Calle Pina Colada. supported the suggestion of developing the MWD easement road as it would have the most impact in solving the traffic problem. Mr. Wiltmann snggested that a speed survey taken in the morning when people are going to work and parents are tltking children to school and then in the late afternoon when the reverse is occurring would show higher speeds on Calle Pina Cotada. Mr. Andrew Roni, 40575 La Colima Road, commented that the City's overall traffic problems need to be reviewed: the extension of Butterfield Stage is a permanent solution to the circulation problem; and that closing Calle Pina Colada would be a better solution than leaving it open as an access to the stabstandard streets of Meadowview. Mr..ll~hn Lee, 30899 Calle Pina Colada, spoke in favor of closing the street. Ms. Jan Lee, 30899 Calle Pina Colada, gave a brief history of decisions/studies regarding closure of Calle Pina Colada, and stated that Fire Station 84 does not use the street; that approximately 95% of the area residents faw~r the clusure; that the road is only 40' feet wide; that previous studies showed 1.800 to 2.000 cars per day: and that drivers are not abiding by the posted speed limits when the police are ii(~I visual. Cl>mmissioner Connerton noted that 15 MPH signs are posted for the speed bumps. Mr. Dennis Bueschel, 41358 Yuba Circle, representing the Bridgeview HOA, stated that he favored cll~stn'e or' Calle Pina Culada and that the street has been miss-classified as a residential collector street as it only measures 40' to less than 40' in some places. In resp~mse to Commissioner Telesio's question about the number of homes in the HOA, Mr. Bueschel stated that approximately 45 homes out of 172 homes in the Ridgeview tract are addressed or directly access Calle Pina Colada. At the times the closure issue was discussed by the Ridgeview Board, there were no dissenting opinions. Ms. Jayme Christian, 30762 Calle Pina Colada, provided the Commissioners with a packet of maps and material regarding the past history of the closure of Calle Pina Colada and usage of the street by law entilrcement, Fire Department and school buses. She supported the suggestion of paving the Water District road, and closing of Calle Pina Colada. Ciimmissi{iner Edwards stated that public streets are for the public use and, generally, she would not l'avl}r closing them. In response to Commissioner Telesio's question, Ms. Christian affirmed that if Kahwea Road and North General Kearny were opened, the traffic situation on Calle Pina Colada would be reduced. Mr. Steven Rimmer, 30732 Calle Pina Colada, stated that the residents would gladly pay for the cost ,ff installing a wrought iron fence across Calle Pina Colada and to fulfill all the policy requirements. He also mentil~ned that the street is used as a drag street late at night. Ms. JoElien Byrnes. 30035 Via Norte, stated that the proposed golf course in Meadowview will increase area traffic and create safety problems; and that concerned individuals' opinions need to be taken into consideration when resolving traffic problems. 4 r:\traffic\commissin\minules\99\031199Amin Commissioner Connerton noted that the speed bumps have not resolved the problems, but closing the street is will tinpact mail delivery, meter readers, fire and police, school buses, etc. He supported to keep the street open, to remove the speed bumps, and to have police enforcement present at various times of the day to make it difficult for people to speed through the area. Cmnmissioner Markham commented that the alignment study regarding the Water District easement should be revisited: noting that, in his opinion, it is impractical for law enforcement to be on that particular street all day, every day; stated that the structural design of the overall Meadowview loop and its various access points, which may require capital improvements should be studied because stop signs. road closures, etc, will not solve the problems. He suggested consideration be given to providing non-driveway loaded access points into Meadowview along North General Kearny to the i}ther side of Pina Colada; breaking up the loop; and/or adding key gates only for Meadowview residents. He stated that if Kahwea Road were opened, Via Norte and Del Rey Road traffic numbers will increase. Commissioner Markham suggested that the matter be continued and staff develop some innl~vative long-term solutions for the entire area. Commissioner Edwards stated that closing Calle Pina Colada would not be the solution; other ways, such as the Water District road, painting a line down the middle of the street which visually narrows the street, remote traffic camera placed at Calle Pina Colada which photographs violators are options until other viable routes are found for the Meadowview area. Commissioner Telesio commented that he does not have sufficient information to make a decision; that the City Council's policy for road closure has not been met; and that increased enforcement would be effective since the drivers are Temecula residents, not tourists. Chairman Coe expressed the opinion that streets should remain open if at all possible and noted his support of exploring other possibilities of accessing Via Norte or Del Rey Road such as paving the Water District road. MOTION: It was moved by Commissioner Connerton to continue the issue for 60 days to allow staff time to develop other alternatives including the possibility of improving the water district road. It was sec~mded by Cnmmissioner Markham. Deputy Directur Parks suggested that since it may take up to 90 days or more to develop a study modifying Meadowview streets and getting the Meadowview HOA involved, the motion should be mt>dified to provide a status report in 60 days. The modification was agreeable to Commissioners Connerton and Markham and vnice vote reflected ttnanitllous approval. MOTION: It wits mtlved hy Commissioner Markham to recommend to the City Council or City Manager to c{intract otlt an overall solution to the circulation review of the Meadowview area as soon as possible. The mottim was seconded by Commissioner Connerton and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. It was requested by Commissioner Connerton to agendize the speed bump issue for the April 8, 1999 (Mmnlission meeting. 5 r:\traffic\commissin\minutes\99X031199Amin Commissioner Connerton suggested that the police patrol the area in the early mornings and evenings to which Sgt. DiMaggio agreed. Chairman Coe called tier a recess at 8:36 P.M. and reconvened the meeting at 8:51 P.M. 3. Implementation of Selected Short-Term Traffic Circulation Improvement Projects RECOMMENDATION It is recommended by the Public Works Department that the Public/Traffic Safety Commission review~ comment and approve implementation of selected short-term traffic circulation improvement projects. I)eputy Director Parks presented the staff report (of record). Winchester Road at Margarita Road In response to Commissioner Telesio's question regarding #6, Assistant Engineer Gonzalez defined a right-turn overlap phase as an exclusive right-turn signal that would activate at the same time as a left- turn signal and stated that Margarita Road will be widened. Rancho California Road at Ynez Road Commisskmer Telesio mentioned that signs indicating a dedicated right-turn lane should be installed on Ihe eastskle of Ynez Road, south of Rancho California Road. Acting Director Hughes stated that the suggesti{m will be incorporated and also installation of an eastbound clarification sign as requested by Commissioner Connerton. Deputy Director Parks noted that tier a clearer understanding of the situations, exhibits will accompany the list in the future. In respt~nse to Commissioner Connerton's question regarding widening of the northbound on-ramp, Acting Director Hughes stated that negotiations are underway for a contract change order with Riverside Constructkin that would, prior to the mall opening, add a second northbound on-ramp and also widen Rancho California Road from Ynez Road to that on-ramp, and it appears as though Caltral~s' will appr{~ved this change order. For Commissioner Connerton~ Acting Director Hughes confirmed that the striping would occur in 60 to 90 clays. (#10). [:l~r Cmnmissioner Edwards who commented on the right-turn overlap from easthound Rancho Califilrnia Road at Ynez Road, Deputy Director Parks stated that it has been deactivated for the next c,mplc {if months because of construction activity at the corner. 6 r:Xtraffic\commissin\minutes\99\031199Amin Ranch,i Cal iti~rnia Road - Ynez Road to Moraga Road Commissinner Telesio suggested that while removing and replacing the sidewalk on the westside, the Town Center's internal striping at that intersection should also be incorporated. Assistant Engineer Gtmzalez stated that the improvement is identified in Category 2 as a long-term issue because working with private entities often take an extended period of time. Acting Director Hughes stated that a status report on the projects will be given at the second monthly meeting. MOTION: Cimm~issioner Markham moved to approve implementation of the selected short-term traffic circulation imlm~vement pro.iects noted in Exhibit "A", Category 1. Priority 1 as amended. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. Exhibit B - Traffic Circulation Improvement Plan Winchester Road -Ynez Ruad to Margarita Road ('tnnmissioner Connerton commented that the inside curb lane has limited usage during peak traffic ht~urs and suggested that two dedicated right turn lanes at Ynez Road be explored. Deputy Director Parks s~ated that the ruad widening at Winchester Road is under contract and staff will research that snggestion. In response to Commissioner's Connerton question regarding status of the Margarita Road widening, Deputy Director Parks replied that completion is anticipated in August 1999. 4. Public/Traffic Safety Commission Areas of Responsibility 4. I Review and Discuss Areas of Responsibilities Ctnnmissioner Telesiu suggested the following areas of responsibility: · Circulatk~n - Chairman Coe · Safety - Cmnmissioner Telesio · Ciimmunity Relations/Education - Commissioner Edwards · Maintenance/Installation - Commissioner Connerton · Capital hnprovements - Cnmmissioner Markham The Cl~m~nissioners agreed to Commissioner Telesio's suggested division of responsibilities. Comn~issitmer Connerton stated that he. and Commissioners Edwards and Markham are generally at every City Council meeting and are available to answer any questions. 7 r:\traffic\commissin\minutes\99\031199Amin Deputy Director Parks suggested that these additional responsibilities be ratified with the City Council because they differ from the duties and responsibilities that were determined when the Commission was established. In response to Commissioner Telesio's statement that all City traffic safety issues should be considered by this Commissk~n with a recommendation forwarded to the Planning Commission, Acting Director Hughes stated that since the Commissioners serve at the discretion of the City Council, such action may require City Council approval; and regarding working on planning cases, there are specific timeframes which must be adhered to and adding another review body will not meet the time cLinstraints. He added that Public Works staff currently address traffic concerns. To keep the Commission inlBrmed, Acting Director Hughes suggested providing the Commissioners a list of projects under review by the City. Cmmuissioner Markham suggested that when a case is submitted for pre-application review or direct submittal that will impact traffic circulation, a copy of the site plan or tract map should be transmitted to the Conunisskmers. 4.2 Bi-Monthly Meetings Deputy Director Parks suggested that the second monthly meeting be a workshop to address the selected short-term traffic circulation improvement projects. Commissioner Connerton stated that to effectively resolve the City's traffic problems, the Commission needs to regularly meet twice a month. Acting Director Hughes stated that the City's overall thrust is to meet the immediate project list prior to the mall opening and the second meeting is added to have this Commission review the CIP upc~lmmg projects in detail. He mentioned that at the March 23, 1999 City Council meeting, clmsideration of increasing the compensation for the Public Traffic/Safety Commission to $100 per month because of the second meeting will be considered. Conm~issioner Markham noted that the proposed joint workshop session between the City Council and the Traffic/Safety Commission has not yet been held and suggested scheduling it in the immediate lifltn'e to discuss, among other issues, the present and future role of the Commission. Commissioner Telesio stated that there could be times when review of the priority lists would take ,rely a short time. and there/k~re other issues should be agendized. MOTION: It was moved by Commissioner Markham that the Public Traffic/Safety Commission's regularly scheduled and noticed meetings will be on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 6 P.M. The moll{In was seconded by Commissioner Connerton and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT No ~.'ther report was given. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT 8 r:\traffic\commissin\minutes\99\031199Amin Commissioner Connerton complimented Sgt. DiMaggio on the readability of the graphs in the report. Sgt. DiMaggio reported that Sgt. Crisp has been reassigned to the Patrol Division and that he will replace Sgt. Crisp at the Public Traffic/Safety Commission meetings. He passed out 1999 Vehicle Traffic Code books to the Commissioners. Sgt. DiMaggio stated that in a meeting with Guidant personnel, it was mentioned that the pedestrian crossing cycle on Ynez Road near the old Moss Motors parking area does not allow time for enough i~ers{mnel to cross the street, and the northbound double left-turn lane on Ynez Road into their facility does not allow more than three (3) or four (4) cars to get through in a cycle. Acting Director Hughes stated that he had also received the same comments and that he had informed them that the Walk/Don't Walk cycle is set at the maximum and the City is also maximizing the left-turn cycle on Ynez Road to keep traffic flowing smoothly. MOTION: wits moved by Cmnmissioner Edwards to extend the meeting to 10:15 P.M. The motion was secm~ded by Commissioner Connerton and voice vote reflected unanimous approval. In resplmse to Commissioner Connerton's comment regarding the increase in burglaries, Sgt. I)iMaggio replied that although there is no particular reason, but there are more unsupervised teenagers clue to the increase in population. C{immissioner Connerton mentioned that he would like the false alarm report issue addressed some time in the future. FIR E C H |EF'S REPORT In respl~nse to Commissioner Edwards' question regarding speed bumps, Captain Black stated that speed bumps slow down the fire engines and Calle Pina Colada is not a primary egress road for the I)eparm~ent. COMMISSION REPORT C~mm~issioner Connerton stated that he would like two items agendized for the April 8, 1999 meeting: (I) discussion on the staggering of work shifts; and (2) town hall public meetings, one held in the City Ctmncil Chambers and one at the CRC, to receive input on ways to improve the traffic problems. Ctlmmissioner Telesio raised the concern that the City Council might have to approve the town meeting idea and Deputy Director Parks stated that he would research the matter. Comn~issioner Markham commented that he would like a presentation of the entire mall package inchlding Margarita and Overland Roads and the widening of Margarita Road. Ctmm~issioner Markham stated that it is essential that the Jefferson Drive study be completed and that it shl~uld be coordinated with the Overland Bridge construction. He noted that he was informed that the study was going to be contracted out, but nothing has ever happened. He mentioned that there have been previous Jefferson Drive studies regarding access openings in the median and Category 2 projects include a median project on Jefferson Avenue, north and south of Winchester Road, to limit turning lu(~velBents. 9 r:\traffic\commissin\minutes\99X031199Amin In response to Commissioner Telesio's questions on the Public Works engineering handout from San Beri~ardiuo, Deputy Director Parks commented that it was information staff was considering for the Web page as it provides answers to frequently asked questions by the public and if the Commission were interested, staff will work with the City Manager to publish the information on the Web page. The Co~nmission was in agreement that the information should be on the Web page. Commissioner Telesio commented that since Pauba Road continues to considered for the location of the library. the widening of Pauba Road is essential. Commissioner Telesio mentioned that he has observed blinking lights at Margarita Middle School, Linfictd School, and Temecula Valley High after school hours. Deputy Director Parks stated that staff will investigate the matter. Commissioner Edwards thanked staff for all their extra work. Chairman Coe stated that he had read that three (3) to five (5) new schools will be built in the area and suggested the need to let the School Board know that this Commission is available to comment on traffic issues. Deputy Director Parks mentioned that the State Architect has control over the plans, but still~ is closely working with the local school board and will intbrm them of the Commission's interest. AD.IOURNMENT At 10:13 P.M., Chairman Coe formally adjourned this meeting to the next regular Public/Traffic Sal~ty Commission meeting to be held on Thursday, March 25, 1999, at 6:00 P.M., in City of Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California.
