Commissioner Coe expressed concern for a possible major traffic problem in this area. Commissioner Guerriero stated that he was not comfortable making a recommendation due to the limited information given to the Commission and he recommended that the owner of the dirt parcel be notified. Kelly Doricvan stated that Caltrans possibly would not oppose a detour on Margarita Road or Murietta Hot Springs Road, if the City is in agreement.

Commissioner Guerriero recommended the Kiwanis install them at school entrances. Don Meyer responded that the Kiwanis wanted more exposure, Commissioner Sander commented that perhaps street light posts might be the location for these signs. Traffic Engineer Lauber pointed out that the City ordinance required only one sign per post, therefore, a precedent should not be set. Chairman Coe stated that he would like to research this request before a recommendation is made. Commission Perry commented that the flashing lights at school sites might be a good location for the signs. Commissioner Sander stated that perhaps this should be on the agenda for the next meeting. Traffic Engineer Lauber recommended the Kiwanis Club research locating the signs at school entrances or other private locations. 4.

Chairman Charles Coe Secretary Minutes.ptc.02\22\96 7 ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Marty Lauber, Traffic Engineer/ff, Z DATE: March 28, 1996 SUBJECT: Item 2 Speed Limit on Margarita Road from Solana Way to Rancho California Road Prepared By: Ali Moghadam, Assistant Engineer RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend to the City Council, adoption of a resolution re- affirming the speed limit on Margarita Road from Solana Way to Rancho California Road. BACKGROUND: In order to enforce posted speed limits, a Traffic and Engineering 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 Traffic and Engineering surveys must periodically be updated. The Traffic Division has conducted Traffic and Engineering surveys to update the existing 45 MPH speed limit on Margarita Road between Solana Way and Rancho California Road. Posted speed limits are primarily based on an analysis of prevailing speeds (851h percentile), as measured in the field, accident 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. (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. 1. The following table is a summary of the March, 1996 speed survey and prevailing speeds. ROADWAY SEGMENT Margarita Road between Solana Way and Moraga Road Margarita Road between Moraga Road and Avenlda Barca 85TH PERCENTILE POSTED RECOMIMENDED SPEED SPEED LIMIT 1991 ] 1996 48 49 45 45 49 49 45 45 Margarita Road between Avenida Barca and La Serena Way 48 48 45 45 Margarita Road between La Serena Way and Rancho California Road 46 50 45 45 The number and type of accidents on Margarita Road between Solana Way and Rancho California Road do not suggest that a problem exists and therefore, variation from the 851h percentile speed is not justified. Traffic or roadside conditions that are not readily apparent to the drivers were not observed on Margarita Road between Solana Way and Rancho California Road. The existing horizontal curves on Margarita Road provide adequate sight distance and therefore, downward speed zoning is not required. FISCAL IMPACT: None Attachments: Exhibit "A" Location Maps r:\traffic\commlssn\agenda\96\0328Xspecxlnmr.lmt/ajp ITEM NO. 3 TO: FROM: AGENDA REPORT Public/Traffic Safety Commission Marcy Lauber, Traffic Engineer DATE: March 28, 1996 SUBJECT: Item 3 "All-Way" Stop - Margarita Road at Stonewood Road Prepared By: All Moghadam, Assistant Engineer RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny a request to place two (2) additional "Stop" signs on Margarita Road at Stonewood Road and to place this intersection on the City's Signal Priority list for potential future signalization. BACKGROUND: Staff has been requested to install two (2) additional stop signs on Margarita Road at Stonewood Road which would make this intersection an "All-Way Stop". The posted speed limit on Margarita Road near Stonewood Road is 45 MPH. Currently there are two (2) travel lanes in each direction on Margarita Road which transition to one (1) lane near the intersection of Stonewood Road. As a part of a forthcoming re-surfacing project on Margarita Road, the existing striping will be modified to provide a left-turn lane from southbound Margarita Road to Stonewood Road. This re-striping will also provide left turn storage at other intersections utilizing a two-way left turn lane. The California Department of Transportation Traffic Manual identifies four (4) criteria for the consideration of multi-way "Stops" as identified in the City of Temecula "Stop" and "Yield" Sign Warrant Policy. 1. Minimum Traffic Volumes a. The total vehicular volume entering the intersection from all approaches must average at least 500 vehicles per hour for any eight (8) hours of an average day, and b. The combined vehicle and pedestrian volume from the minor street or highway must average at least 200 units per hour for the same eight (8) hours, with an average delay to minor street vehicular traffic of at least 30 second per vehicle during the maximum hour, but c. When the 85-percentile approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. An accident problem, as indicated by five (5) or more reported accidents within a twelve (12) month period of a type susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation. Such accidents include right-angle and left-turn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. Where traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop may be an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the signal installations. 4. All locations are also analyzed for school area traffic control recommendations/warrants. Staff has collected speed and volume data and evaluated this location for installation of an "All-Way Stop" as requested. The following is a summary of the analysis. a. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 1,057 as compared to 350 (500 X 70%) needed to meet this portion of the warrant. b. The vehicular volume from the minor street averages 123 during the same eight (8) hours as above, and the pedestrian volume does not appear to be sufficient to meet the 140 (200 X 70%) minimum vehicular and pedestrian volume from the minor street for the same eight (8) hours. 2. Two (2) accidents have been reported at this location from January 1, 1995 to January 1, 1996, as compared to five (5) needed to meet this warrant. Since this intersection does not meet the warrants for installation of an "All-Way Stop", staff recommends that the request for "All-Way Stop" installation be denied. This intersection was also analyzed for traffic signal installation and met some of the warrant requirements established by Caltrans. This intersection was added to the City's Signal Priority List and is currently ranked number ten (10) on the revised list of 17 locations. FISCAL IMPACT: None Attachment: 1.

The reason's are listed below: 1.) Over the past couple of years we have seen the amount of traffic increase immensely, due to the extension of Margarita Road to Murrieta. The flow of traffic is constant, it's really bad during the hours of 6:45 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and from the time school gets out around 2:05 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. A single car can wait 6-7 minutes to enter or exit the housing track. Not to mention all of the sports activities that take place at the Elementary and Middle Schools. There is a lot of traffic created from these activities not only during the week but also on the weekends. We are not against sports, we just need better traffic control. 2.) When traveling south on Margarita Road the 2 (Two) south bound lanes turn into 1 (One) lane right at this intersection. The cars merge at this point into 1 (One) lane, more so than not at an excessive amount of speed. Cars heading north bound travel up a "Blind" hill, and these cars cannot be seen by those cars trying to enter or exit from the housing track. Again at excessive speeds. 3.) We the residents of the Verano Housing Track feel that something needs to be done before another accident occurs, or much worse, a child is killed. I would hope that it wouldn't take~a fatality for the City to look into this intersection. We know that this would benefit this area since Margarita Road is such a major throughway for all Temecula residents. Please consider our request for a 4 (Four) way stop sign, or possibly a traffic signal. Thank you for your time in this matter, and we will await your response. Sincerely The Residents Of Verano Housing Track. See Attachment. g 0 o ITEM NO. 4 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Many Lauber, Traffic Engineer March 28, 1996 Item 4 "No Stopping" - Margarita Road between Rancho Vista Road and Pauba Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission approve a "No Stopping" zone to replace the existing "No Parking" zone on Margarita Road between Rancho Vista Road and Pauba Road. BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works was recently contacted regarding the current parking restriction on the west side of Margarita Road between Rancho Vista Road and Pauba Road. The intent of the previously approved restriction was to discourage student pick-ups, drop-offs and parking in an area that would entice students to illegally jaywalk across Margarita Road. The Temecula Police Department has reported that vehicles are stopping along Margarita Road without turning off their engines, therefore not violating the "No Parking" restriction. Staff has also received a request to shorten the time restriction by ending it at 3:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. because school gets out at 2:14 p.m. In order to facilitate both requests, and improve public safety, staff is recommending the replacement of the "No Parking" - 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. signs with "No Stopping" - 6:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. except weekends and holidays, signs.

We have also included those requests received after the last listing which have already been completed so that the Commission has exposure to all citizen requests. As part of the City's Traffic Signal Interconnect project, staff is investigating Rancho California Road between Via Lss Colinas and Ynez Road to create an additional westbound through lane. This could facilitate better traffic coordination by reducing the amount of vehicles stacking at related signals. This additional through lane will set up for and exclusive right-turn lane onto northbound 1-15 between Ynez Road and 1-15.

DIVISION PROJECTS: The Department of Public Works has issued a letter to the Temecula Valley Unified School District requesting attention be given to routing school traffic south of Nicolas Valley Elementary School. We are urging drivers to use Joseph Road from Nicolas Road instead of North General Kearney Road. The City is ready to support any action to divert traffic by reinforcing the 25 mph speed limit on North General Kearney with our Radar Trailer Display Unit and Police Enforcement. In order to ensure that all City speed limits can be properly defended in court, the Traffic Division has reviewed the expiration dates for all established zones. City staff will be used to update all Traffic and Engineer survey certifications to guarantee legal citations. We have completed this year's Highway Performance Monitoring System (H.P.M.S.) update. The H.P.M.S. is a Federally mandated inventory system and planning study designed to assess the Nation's highway system. It is used as a management tool to determine the allocation of Federal aid funds, set policies, and forecast future transportation trends as it analyzes the system's length, condition and performance. Staff is completing negotiations with the Inland Valley Cable Company to share a utility trench in order to accommodate both traffic signal interconnection and broadcasting from our new City Hall.

Part One Crime statistics are broken down by individual districts within the City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and aiding in planning police resource deployment. The Police Department issued 411 citations last month, which compares with 412 issued in February of 1995. However, the number of citations issued for hazardous violations increased by nearly one hundred over last year while the number of traffic collisions remained consistent with that reported last year. Temecula experienced no fatal traffic collisions last month. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol fell dramatically from February of 1995. However, this figure does not include the results of a SCAIR DUI checkpoint held in Temecul.a on February 17, 1996. This event was staffed by California Highway Patrol officers, and the sixteen arrests made during the event are not included in Police Department statistics. Reported burglaries, grand thefts and felony assaults decreased over last year, while auto thefts increased slightly. None of these changes are viewed as statistically significant. Total arrests made during the month declined slightly over 1995. The Police Department responded to forty three "priority one" calls for service during the month of January, with an average response time of slightly over seve~/minutes. A total of 928 calls for police service were generated in the City of Temecula during the month. The Police Depaxtment's Special Enforcement Team made nineteen arrests for narcotics related offenses last month and wrote and served seven search warrants. POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTMTY REPORT FEBRUARY, 1996 PAGE TWO The Police Department's two School Resource Officers issued one citation, made fifteen arrests and returned three truants to school. They completed forty eight reports which would otherwise have been assigned to patrol personnel. The Police Department's two crime prevention officers conducted sixty five business checks last month. One article concerning the danger of abusing inhalants was written for local media release. Two neighborhood watch meetings were held, and a presentation given for 200 in attendance at a Temecula Drug and Youth Forum at the Community Recreation Center. The Police Depa~hnent provided augmented special event policing during the Temecula Rod Run on February 17 and 18, 1996. The event went relatively smoothly, with notably improved communication between event organizers and Police Department staff.. More appropriate police staffing levels permitted stepped up enforcement action, with the result that thirty attendees were arrested for various offenses, a dramatic increase over last year' s event, which saw only three arrests. Volunteen fi'om the community continue to be an integral part of the Temecula Police Department's staff. Under the guidance of volunteer coordinator Ed Beckas, the Police Department's volunteer staff contributed 364 hours of service in January.
