Receive and file this document. � I � Rz.;QUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTI..-A MEETING DATE: September 5, 2000 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 00-90 Analysis: The adoption of the emergency speed limit ordinance is being requested to provide Summit Drive and Seapoint Avenue with radar-enforceable speed limits before the beginning of the school year. New homes, as well as a school and a park, have been built in this area. The roadway striping was recently changed to take into account the effect of the new construction on the roadway system. The proposed emergency speed limit ordinance will reflect anticipated vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. A traffic and engineering survey was performed on certain streets, as required by the California Vehicle Code, and the results of those surveys are indicated in the attached Legislative Draft. In addition to the Ordinance, a Legislative Draft is also prepared by the City Attorney's Office. A legislative draft indicates additions to the ordinance by bold face type two points larger and deletions to the ordinance by strikethro gh. In some cases street segments are shown as being removed from the ordinance. These street segments are included in the preceding segment and have the same speed limit. Traffic and engineering surveys must be completed every five years to allow the use of radar for traffic speed enforcement. Failure to update the surveys invalidates radar-enforced speeding citations and forces the Police to "pace" the violator to enforce speed limits. Pacing is considered an impractical enforcement method for logistical reasons.

(Councilwoman Julien arrived at 4:08 p.m.) Summit Drive Mr. Brohard referenced a visual display that indicated the striping now in place, and together with Sgt.

Mayor Garofalo commented that staff is trying to get speeds down before doing the survey. In response to a citizen inquiry, Mr. Brohard indicated that traffic counts have been done at Beacon Hill and Covington Lane, and that he has spent considerable time personally watching people and traffic and evaluating the information. He recommended that the following be considered: l. 3-way stop and marked crosswalks at Beacon Hill 2. 4-way stop and marked crosswalks at Covington 3. Discourage pedestrians from crossing Summit between Covington and Beacon Hill 4. Post Signs encouraging pedestrians to use crosswalks at Covington and Beacon Hill He stated that these installations would be followed by the engineering and traffic survey and that, once approved, the Police Department would be able to use radar for enforcement. In response to a suggestion to have two southbound left turn lanes on Edwards at Garfield, Mr. Brohard indicated that this will be considered and will take several months to evaluate. Councilman Harman stated that he believed such an approach made sense since it would allow for more left turns. Mrs. Hazard expressed appreciation for the bike lanes and narrowing of traffic lanes, but stated that, when people park on Summit Drive, bicyclists go out of the bike lane into the traffic lanes. She inquired what could be done about parking on Summit. Discussion ensued about the legality of parking in bicycle lanes. Mr. Beardsley suggested that possible time of day parking prohibitions could be evaluated to keep the lanes clear during school commute hours. The matter was referred to staff for further study and recommendation. Mayor Garofalo expressed concern that staff needs to work with school officials regarding possible alternative student pick up and drop off locations for school buses. F- 1 3 Notes from Summit/Seapoint Meeting 8/3/00 Page three Daryl Smith cautioned that red curbs might cause some future park visitors to park in the residential areas south of Summit. Mayor Garofalo summarized that there was agreement to: 1. Put a 3-way stop and crosswalks at Beacon Hill 2. Put a 4-way stop and crosswalks at Covington 3. Authorized Mr. Beardsley to discuss with school district possible relocating loading and unloading of school buses. 4. Place signs between Covington and Beacon Hill to "Use Crosswalk." One of the residents commented that, at their last Peninsula meeting there was lots of discussion about the people in their tract who are exceeding the speed limits. Sgt. Martin responded that, over the last year and one half, the Police Department has received a variety of complaints, so they have placed officers on Summit using radar to monitor speeds. He indicated that two motor officers recently monitored speeds on Summit for twenty minutes and they observed no speeding violations. Sgt. Martin stated that the 85t" percentile (prevailing speed) is at 40 miles per hour and that there is not a serious speed problem considering the volume; it is a very good situation compared to other areas of the City. He said that he believes that things will continue to improve and that these action items will help even more. Seapoint Avenue Mr. Brohard stated that traffic counts, pedestrian counts, bicycle counts, speed measurements and reported accidents have been reviewed for Seapoint. He stated that 7 of 9 accidents occurring there were of vehicles leaving the roadway. Mr. Brohard proposed a plan that would slow the traffic on Seapoint. He indicated that though Seapoint at Cherry Hill and at Doral are now being added to the list for traffic signals, it would be a number of years before the City would install signals there, due to the signal priority list that exists. He indicated that Public Works will be narrowing the lanes to 2, 10' wide lanes in each direction from PCH to Garfield and would use white non-reflective markers to delineate the bike lanes. Mayor Garofalo inquired whether these areas are safer with or without crosswalks. Mr. Brohard responded that they are safer without marked crosswalks because pedestrians tend to perceive a false sense of security and are not as cautious. F_ 1 4 Notes from Summit/Seapoint Meeting 8/3/00 Page four It was stated that the volume needs to be approximately equal on both Doral and Seapoint in order to safely place stop signs there. One of the residents suggested a median at PCH and Seapoint for pedestrian stopping when crossing at that corner. Mr. Brohard intends to implement striping within the next two weeks, then evaluate the traffic speeds to set the speed limit. Then, the City Council can take an emergency action to set the speed limit. Councilwoman Julien noted that Doral needed to be addressed because it is the only way in and out of the adjacent tract. Mr. Gotsch commented on the speed limit being too high on Seapoint and suggested straightening out the road before land is developed on both sides. Tom Brohard stated that the restriping plan should reduce speeds. (Councilman Harman left the meeting at 5:00 p.m.) Mr. Beardsley stated that an engineering and traffic survey would be conducted after the painting. A recommendation for an appropriate and enforceable speed limit would be included in an ordinance for City Council, and speed limit signs would be placed immediately after approval of the ordinance at the September 5 Council meeting. Sgt. Martin expressed concern about limited police resources, but stated that additional resources would be available in September. Councilwoman Julien inquired whether an emergency reduction of the speed limit could be implemented immediately. Mr. Beardsley suggested that Police presence be increased during the next 30 days in order to give staff time to get the painting and subsequent speed survey done, and at that time it would be known what speed limit to present to the City Council. Mayor Garofalo requested that minutes of this meeting be provided for all those in attendance. Mr. Hazard inquired whether there is a plan for a crossing guard at the paseo at Garfield and Saddleback. Sgt. Martin offered to check into it. F-15 Notes from Summit/Seapoint Meeting 8/3/00 Page rive Discussion ensued about the wearing of helmets by bicycle riders and Sgt. Martin indicated that during the school year, three traffic officers talk with students at all elementary schools about this and other traffic safety subjects. Mrs. Hazard expressed appreciation for everyone taking the time to meet and for the opportunity to speak. The Summit Drive/Seapoint Avenue Traffic Calming Plan was distributed. Adiournment 5:15 P.M.
