AGENDA REPORT
TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission
FROM: Patrick Thomas, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
DATE: August 27, 2020
SUBJECT Nighthawk Pass Traffic Calming – Reevaluation
PREPARED BY: Ali Shahzad, Senior Traffic Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission review the ballots and
recommend a decision on whether or not the Traffic Calming striping should be eliminated or put
back on Nighthawk Pass from Choate Street to Temecula Creek Trail.
BACKGROUND: Staff received a request from Nighthawk Pass residents to reevaluate
the effectiveness of the existing traffic calming features (striping) and consider other traffic
calming features to reduce vehicular speeds. The residents expressed concerns that the existing
measures had become ineffective at reducing vehicular speeds along Nighthawk Pass and
additional measures were needed.
Previously, the City installed yellow centerline and white bicycle lane and parking lane striping to
provide traffic calming at the request of residents in the neighborhood. Following completion of
recent slurry seal application, it has been requested to not re-install roadway striping due to
concerns about excessive speeding; and consider other traffic calming measures.
Staff will continue to monitor vehicular speeds and volumes along Nighthawk Pass. Additionally,
Staff will monitor conditions at the intersections of Nighthawk Pass at Choate Street and Channel
Street to determine if multi-way stop signs are justified as development has occurred in Morgan
Hill, when traffic volumes are back to normal.
FISCAL IMPACT: Minor cost associated with implementing the striping back with the
slurry seal project. Adequate funds are available in the CIP Division’s Pavement Rehabilitation
operating budget.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: Public/Traffic Safety Commission
FROM: Patrick Thomas, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
DATE: August 27, 2020
SUBJECT Consideration of High Visibility Crosswalk – Rancho Vista Road at Temecula
Valley High School
PREPARED BY: Ron Moreno, Principal Civil Engineer – Land Development
Kaitlyn Iacobacci, Office Specialist II
REVIEWED BY: Ali Shahzad, Senior Traffic Engineer – Traffic Division
RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission provide direction to
Staff on the potential use of the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Crosswalk System.
BACKGROUND: Staff received a request from Temecula Valley Unified School
District (TVUSD) to consider the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crosswalk on Rancho Vista
Road at Temecula Valley High School and eliminating the existing crosswalk to provide a
controlled crossing for students accessing adjacent neighborhoods.
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Crosswalk System
The RRFB Crosswalk System is a user actuated amber LED Warning System that supplements
pedestrian warning signs at un-signalized intersections or mid-block crosswalks. The RRFB can
be activated by a pedestrian push-button or passively by pedestrian detection system. The RRFB
displays an irregular “flash” pattern that is similar to a “strobe” light on an emergency vehicle.
Presently, there is an interim approval through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and
Caltrans for the optional use of pedestrian actuated RRFB’s at uncontrolled marked crosswalks to
enhance pedestrian and school crossing signs.
FISCAL IMPACT: Cost associated with implementing ADA curb ramps and the RRFB
Equipment with install labor, and some striping and signage. City will work on a cost share
agreement with the school district on this project budget.

FROM: Patrick Thomas, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
DATE: August 27, 2020
SUBJECT James L. Day Middle School Traffic Management Plan (TMP)
PREPARED BY: Ali Shahzad, Senior Traffic Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission review and support the
concept Traffic Management Plan discussed with Jason Osborn at the Temecula Valley Unified
School District and recommend approval of the developed traffic measures as proposed as well as
the signal phasing modification for an exclusive pedestrian phase.
BACKGROUND: Staff received a request from Jason Osborn of Temecula Valley
Unified School District (TVUSD) to review the Traffic Circulation around Day Middle School
and to help the school identify and resolve their specific traffic management issues. Staff evaluated
the effectiveness of the existing traffic environment and made recommendations to address the
traffic management issues.
Staff discussed the traffic issues around the school and the following list of items are to be revised
as listed. A concept plan is attached as Exhibit A to depict the features in the area that need to be
revised, to improve the traffic circulation and pedestrian access conditions at the school on Camino
Campos Verdes and North General Kearney Road. Striping Plans will be developed and discussed
for finalizing with the school district before implementation for the fall semester if possible.
1. Red curbing on Camino Campos Verdes to accommodate painted median.
2. Road Diet on North General Kearney and lane drop after the one-way exit driveway.
3. Add a striped median for left turn queue in the pick-up/drop-off driveway on Camino
Campos Verdes.
4. Add a striped shoulder for a parking lane on Camino Campos Verdes.
5. Signal Phasing for an exclusive pedestrian phase on the existing crosswalk at the
signalized intersection, and a future overlapping phase with a signal modification plan.
Staff will continue to monitor traffic circulation, vehicular speeds and volumes around the school
area. Should modifications be deemed necessary staff will re-engage TVUSD.
