Minutes of March 27.1997 The Minutes of March 27, 1997 were continued to the meeting of May 22, 1997. COMMISSION BUSINESS Request for Crosswalk and School Crossing Traffic Signal - Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. 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. She stated there is no sidewalk at the top of the hill. R;\traffic\comm[ssnVninutes\97\O42497/ejp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 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. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero It was moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Perry to have staff review the costs for adding a five (5) foot asphalt sidewalk on the south side of Rancho Vista Road between Paseo Goleta and the existing sidewalk, a few feet west of Camino Romo, and a yellow warning light westerly on Rancho Vista Road. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero Request for Installation of Various Traffic Control Devices - Old Town Temecula It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to continue this item to the meeting of May 22, 1997. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24. 1997 The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero "No Parking" Zones on Rancho California Road. Winchester Road. Pala Road. Santiago Road. Pauba Road and Rancho Vista Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. Commissioner Perry inquired as to the existing bike lane and no parking zone percentage for these roads. Mr. Moghadam replied approximately 50% of the proposed area is existing bike lane and 50% no parking zones. Mr. Moghadam stated he reviewed the Vehicle Code relative to truck parking and found that the only prohibited truck parking is for trucks over six (6) feet in height which are prohibited from parking within 1 O0 feet of an intersection. 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. Mr. Moghadam reported staff is studying installation of median islands on Margarita Road and Rancho Vista Road with fencing and lights at one or two locations on Rancho Vista Road to limit access for pedestrians and vehicles. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution establishing "No Parking" zones on Rancho California Road, Winchester Road, Pala Road, Santiago Road, Pauba Road, and Rancho Vista Road. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero Proposed Median Modification - Rancho California Road between Ynez Road and Lyndie Lane (Discussion Item) Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. Commissioner Johnson asked who would pay for the signal at Via Las Colinas. Mr. Moghadam replied the City has budgeted this signal. 3 R:\traffic\commissn\minutes197\O42497/ejp 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. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Moghadam reported the following: Ynez Road at Rancho California Road - Staff is working on striping modifications to provide southbound dual right-turn lanes on Ynez Road at Rancho California Road. Chairman Markham requested look into coordinating the intersection. At present, the free right turn traffic backs up with no protected area. Bedford Court/Hwy 79S - Traffic signal bid opening is May 22, 1997. Pala Road/Rainbow Canyon Road - Signal has been re-prioritized to Number 1 and proposed to be included in the 1997/98 budget. 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. 4 R:\traffic\commissn~minutes\97\O42497/ajp 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\commis~n~,minutes\97\O42497/ejp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24, 1997 Commissioner Perry asked why Area G has such a high crime rate. Chairman Markham replied G is mainly apartments with no single family residences and only a few commercial establishments. Sergeant Crisp stated it has been a high crime zone historically. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT Battalion Chief John Winder stated he had nothing to report. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Johnson asked if the City Attorney could provide written direction regarding Conflict of Interest for the Commissioners. Chairman Markham asked staff to review: The 2 ~ to 3 ~ -foot drop off on the west side of Ynez Road back of the Bank of America's parking lot for consideration of a railing for public safety due to skate boarders, people walking at night, etc, Fencing at the Santiago Overpass, there is a gap between the freeway right-of- way fence and the bridge fence, people are going through the gap. Providing grates over big, pipe and/or box culverts. Chairman Markham reported Ruth Ann Taylor-Burger will attend the May 22, 1997 meeting to discuss air quality in regards to dirt roads and measures that need to be taken, and requested staff invite Mr. Klein to attend. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Perry to adjourn the meeting at 8:28 P.M. The motion was unanimously carried. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, May 22, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California, Chairman Larry Markham Secretary 6 R:\traffic\cornmissn\minutes\97\O42497/ajp MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26, 1997 A regular meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order on Thursday, June 26, 1997, 7:03 P.M., at the City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Co-Chairman Guerriero called the meeting to order. PRESENT: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry Markham Also present were Public Works Associate Engineer All Moghadam, Assistant Engineer Hasib Baha, Police Sergeant Rodney Crisp, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle, and Minute Clerk Pat Kelley. Commissioner Perry led the flag salute. PUBLIC COMMENTS Co-Chairman Guerriero called for public comments on non-agenda items. Timothy Jay Miller, 45052 Corte Bella Drive, asked the Commission to consider two (2) through southbound lanes on Margarita Road at its intersection with Hwy 79S as evening rush hour traffic is backed up consistently. Commissioner Perry asked if there was significant backup for either the thru lane or the right turn lane in the mornings. Mr. Miller replied he has never seen any back-up for either lane in the mornings. Commissioner Coe stated he was in total agreement with Mr. Miller's position. Associate Engineer All Moghadam stated a striping work order is in place which should correct the problem and staff is working with Caltrans to relocate the loops. Phyllis Price, 42136 Avenida Alvarado, representing MIE, Inc. stated it is very difficult to drive 25 MPH on Enterprise Circle West and asked the Commission to reconsider the speed limit. Commissioner Johnson mentioned speeds are set by the Vehicle Code and the Commission cannot change those speed limits and the drivers should observe the posted speed limits. COMMISSION CONSENT CALENDAR 1. Minutes of April 24. 1997 Continued to the meeting of July 24, 1997 Minutes of May 22.1997 It was moved by Commissioner Perry, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to approve the minutes of May 22, 1997. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26. 1997 The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Markham Traffic Calming Request - Southern Cross Road Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. Commissioner Johnson asked if the speed studies had been made available to the people requesting the stop sign. Mr. Moghadam replied the entire package was sent to the Homeowners Association (HOA). Commissioner Coe questioned why the HOA declined a center-line strip. Mr. Moghadam replied he was only told it was an unacceptable solution. Wayne Hall, 42131 Agena Street, disagreed with the staff report that high school students are not a majority of the speeding drivers from his observation, but agreed many adult drivers also drive too fast. He would like to have stop signs in the area. Ken Bruckman, 42244 Cosmic Drive, reported the stop sign at Cosmic Drive and Santa Cecilia has slowed traffic down and that sign was erected without meeting warrants. He spoke about the need for pedestrian access across Rancho Vista Road at Southern Cross Road to get to the Sports Park and Community Recreation Center. Commissioner Perry reiterated it is the Commission's position that a demand-signal is needed at that location. Co-Chairman Guerriero clarified if a stop sign does not meet warrants, it cannot be enforced. He suggested residents talk to their neighbors about speeding, and residents can take down license plate numbers of speeders, contact the police with the numbers to find out name and address to issue a ticket. Mr. Bruckman suggested the Commission recommend that the group looking at the high school traffic problem also consider a pedestrian crossing at Rancho Vista Road leading to the Sports Park. Co-Chairman Guerriero mentioned traffic calming methods, of which striping is one, and suggested the HOA meet with staff and the Commission to discuss such methods. Sam Rascoe, 42953 Virgo Court, stated the Southern Cross HOA thought the stripe down the middle of the road was not a good idea because the street is narrow and drivers sometimes drive in the middle of the road when cars are parked on the side. He stated Agena Street at Southern Cross Road and Spica Court and Southern Cross Road are two (2) bad intersections as they are at the bottom of a hill and on a curve. He suggested if stop signs are not possible, striping, other traffic calming methods, or a mid-block stop sign might be considered. Mr. Moghadam stated a mid-block stop sign will cause rear end accidents as it is not expected. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26. 1997 Commissioner Coe stated center line stripping might make people think and thus slow them down. Mr. Rascoe asked if striping is done, will there be studies to determine if speed be actually reduced. Mr. Moghadam replied the area would be reviewed a month or so after installation of striping or other traffic calming measure to determine its effectiveness. Raymond Johnson, 30764 Sky Terrace Drive, president of the Starlight Ridge South Homeowners Association, stated the Board has not discussed a stripe down the middle of the street and he will take the idea of a strip or any other calming methods to the Board for their consideration. It was moved by Commissioner Coe, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to deny the request for installation of "Stop" signs and partial street closure on Southern Cross Road and directed staff to meet with the Homeowners Association to discuss striping and other traffic calming methods. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Markham Proposed Median Modifications - Rancho California Road Between Ynez Road and Lyndie Robert Katan, 30054 Corte Cantera, representing Target Stores, spoke against the closure of the Claim Jumper and Target Center driveways. He stated a signal at Via Las Colinas is of no benefit to the shopping center as it goes behind all the stores; is an entrance that could be closed with little consequence; and a signal is needed at the Target Center driveway where accidents occur and people need a way to make left turns safely. Mr. Moghadam clarified in addition to the Via Las Colinas and Hope Way access, there is also access from Ynez Road; and Via Los Colinas lines up with a driveway which makes maneuvering of trucks easier, and the on-site stacking distance is best; the Target Center entrance cannot stack an adequate number of cars. Commissioner Perry commented customers will not use a back area to exit and truckers can utilize the Ynez Road entrances. Commissioner Coe asked how a signal at Via Las Colinas might impact potential accidents at the Target Center entrance. Mr, Moghadam replied it will provide accident relief for turns into the center, but turning out may not be affected. Pat Snow, 27450 Ynez Road, representing the Temecula Town Center, stated she did not receive notice of this meeting until 3 PM, Tuesday, June 24, 1997, and requested a couple of months to have an independent traffic study completed in order to find a solution that works for retail concerns and addresses the safety issue. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26, 1997 Mr. Moghadam remarked the signal at Via Los Colinas has nothing to do with closing the medians as it has been a CIP project for a number of years and he does not know if it can be revised. A signal at Target Center is too close and would not provide relief for people exiting Via Los Colinas. Co-Chairman Guerriero asked since the distance between Town Center and Target Center is about the same as between the signals on Ynez Road, why is there a problem to signalize Target Center. Mr. Moghadam replied traffic volumes on Rancho California Road are almost double that of Ynez Road, and the purpose of the median closure is to restrict access due to the number of accidents. It was moved by Commissioner Perry, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to continue this item until the July 24, 1997 meeting. Commissioner Johnson asked the motion be amended to direct staff to help Town Center Management locate a traffic engineer. The amendment was approved as amended. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Markham 4. Speed Limit - Various Locations Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report, It was moved by Commissioner Coe, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance re-affirming the speed limits on the following roadway segments: 1. Solana Way between Ynez Road and Del Rey Road 2. Santiago Road between Front Street and Ynez Road 3. La Serena Way between Margarita Road and Calle Medusa 4. Rainbow Canyon Road between Pala Road and South City Limits The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Perry NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Markham TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT Mr. Moghadam reported the following: Winchester Road Bridge Opening - Many favorable comments have been received and the PM peak traffic does not back up as much as before the improvements. City Wide Intelligent Traffic Management System - All the signals should be interconnected within a couple of months so signal timing can be coordinated. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26, 1997 Co-Chairman Guerriero stated Walcott Corridor southbound from Nicholas Road seems to have inadequate signage. Mr. Moghadam replied signage modifications are planned. Commissioner Johnson commented the on interchange at I-15/Winchester Road and the Jefferson Avenue/Winchester Road intersection stacking problems need to be reviewed. Co-Chairman Guerriero asked about the status of Mr. Simon's suggestions for the Winchester Road/Jefferson Avenue intersection. Mr. Moghadam replied he had talked to Mr. Simon and suggested they hire an independent engineer to look into on site effects and then to make any request that would come out of that investigation. Commissioner Perry encouraged staff to take a more pro-active stance as the improvement would be mutually beneficial. Mr. Moghadam reported he is working toward hiring a consultant to help with the Jefferson Corridor project which was determined to be the Commission's Number I priority at the May 22, 1997 meeting. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Sgt. Crisp reported two (2) arrests during Saturday's checkpoint and commended the wineries for telling their customers to watch their consumption and/or to have a designated driver as there was a checkpoint. Co-Chairman Guerriero mentioned the City was getting two (2) additional police officers, but they are not going to the Traffic Division. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT No report was given. Co-Chairman Guerriero mentioned the grand opening of Fire Station 84 on Pauba Road July 1, 1997 at 10:00 a.m. COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Coe reiterated the deplorable condition of northbound Rainbow Canyon Road. Mr. Moghadam reported the re-evaluation of the existing priority list is still underway. Co-Chairman Guerriero suggested the minutes on the Jefferson Avenue Ad Hoc Committee would provide good input into re-evaluating at the Jefferson Corridor. Co-Chairman Guerriero expressed his appreciation and privilege to have served on this Commission and to have worked with staff. Commissioner Johnson stated it has been an honor to work with Ron Guerriero and the Commission will miss him as he takes on his new position as Planning Commissioner. It was moved by Commissioner Coe, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to adjourn the meeting at 9:02 PM. The motion carried unanimously. 5 R;\traffic\commissn\minutes197\062697/ajp PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JUNE 26. 1997 The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, July 24, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Larry Markham Secretary 6 R:\traffic\cornmissn/minutes\97\O62697/ajp ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, Associate Engineer - Traffic/CIP August 28, 1997 t~')Item 2 Median Modifications - Rancho California Road between Ynez Road and Lyndie Lane RECOMMENDATION: That lhe Public/Traffic Safety Commission review and recommend median modifications on Rancho California Road between Ynez Road and Lyndie Lane. BACKGROUND: Currently, several full movement driveways provide access to the Town Center from Rancho California Road. In addition to the signalized intersection of Town Center/Hope Way, unrestricted accesses exist on Rancho California Road at Claim Jumper driveway, Target Center driveway and Via Las Colinas (Exhibit "A"). These full movement driveways which allow right-turns as well as left-turns cause an excessive number of traffic collisions and create congestion on Rancho California Road east of Ynez Road. The combination of high traffic volumes on Rancho California Road (Exhibit "C") and several conflicting turning movements at these driveways has resulted in 31 collisions from January 1, 1996 to July 31, 1997. Four (4) new collisions have occurred since the last Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting at these un- signalized driveways (Exhibit "B"). This issue was reviewed by the Public/Traffic Safety Commission at the June 26, 1997 meeting and was continued at the request of the Town Center property management representatives to allow adequate time for a traffic study addressing the access issue to the Town Center. As of date of preparation of this report, City staff did not receive a traffic study. The proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Rancho California Road and Via Las Colinas has been on the Signal Priority List and Capital Improvement Program for several years, and is independent of the median modification project. An additional signal, as suggested, at the Target Center driveway will adversely impact the traffic flow on Rancho California Road and is not recommended. It should be noted that, among other things, the main purpose of a raised median island is to restrict left turning movements. To allow full access at all driveways defeats this purpose compromising the public safety and reducing arterial capacity. Therefore, staff recommends modification of the existing median islands on Rancho California Road to restrict access at Claim Jumper driveway and Target Center driveway to right-in and right- out only. The proposed modification will include reconstruction of the existing median islands to provide additional left-turn storage capacity at the signalized intersections of Rancho California Road with Town Center Drive/Hope Way and Via Las Colinas. FISCAL IMPACT: This project has been budgeted for the FY97/98 Capital Improvement Program. 1. Exhibit "A" - Existing median island and proposed modifications 2.

BACKGROUND: The City revived a request to install a school crossing Waffle signal on Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo to assist the students who attend V'mtage Hills Elementary School and Temecula Middle School when crossing Raneho Vista Road. At the March 27, 1997 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, this item was continued to allow staff to receive input from the Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) regarding this issue. At the April 24, 1997 Public/Traffic Safety Commission meeting this item was reviewed once again and after a lengthy discussion, the Commission recommended that the request for installation of a school crossing traffic signal be denied due to lack of necessary warrants and unsafe crossing location. However, the Commission directed staff to install a school crosswalk and flashing beacons on Rancho Vista Road at Paseo Golita and a temporary sidewalk on the south side of Rancho Vista Road between Paseo Golita and Camino Romo. Previous agenda reports and minutes are included in Exhibit "C". Staff conducted a study to determine the sight distance at Paseo Golita and estimated the cost of construction. The sight distance at this intersection meets the Caltrans minimum requirements and the cost of construction is estimated at $20,000. Recently, the City received a letter (Exhibit "B") from the TVUSD pointing out several issues and requesting that the Public/Traffic Safety Commission reconsider its previous recommendations. Some of the issues in the letter inehde, School Districts inability to provide an additional adult crossing guard at Paseo Golita since three (3) new crossing guards currently assist the students in the area. Also, according to Ms. Geneva Krag, Safety Technician with TVUSD, only 16 to 20 students crossed Raneho Vista Road at Camino Romo which were mostly accompanied by an adult. It appears in light of this new information, this item should be re-evaluated and the previous recommendations be reconsidered. r:\traffio~commlssn\agenda\97\0828\crosswlk,aga/ajp FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time 1.

We have placed a crossing guard at Meadows Parkway and Rancho Vista for the purpose of crossing all students living along Rancho Vista Rd. We have also placed another at Meadows Parkway and Pauba and then at Camino Romo where it intersects with Corte Viiloss. Those sites have very heavy student traffic. Due to a limited amount of funds, we would not be able to provide a crossing guard at Rancho Vista and Paseo Coleta. We consider the Rancho Vista corridor to be a dangerous area for elementary school pedestrians because it is so close to Temecula Valley High School's parking lot. Once school begins in August those parking lots will begin to fill with inexperienced drivers--drivers not used to looking for pedestrians in the middle of Rancho Vista Road. If an asphalt walkway is installed from where Paseo Goleta intersects Rancho Vista Road to Camino Romo, I fear that drivers will consider that another lane and will attempt to pass on the right to get around a car preparing to mm thus making it a vulnerable place for pedestrians. I would also like to know the intended location of the flashing red lights for Vintage Hills Elementary School. I believe they are needed on Rancho Vista Rd. and on 31350 Rancho V.sta Road T,cmecula CA 925"~2 9091 676-2661 Meadows Parkway between Rancho Vista and Panba. Even though the school is not clearly visible from those places, that is where students often walk and cross and where the speed limit is highest. If you have any questions about these observations, please do not hesitate to contact me or our Safety Technician, Geneva Krag at 695-7338. I look forward to your response.

On March 27, 1997, the Public/Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a request for installation of a school crossing traffic signal at the intersection of Rancho Vista Road and Camino Romo to assist the students who attend the Temecula Middle School and Vintage Hills Elementary School. The request for installation of a school crossing traffic signal at this location was denied by the commission; however, on April 24, 1997 upon further review, the commission recommended that a school crosswalk be installed at the intersection of Rancho Vista Road and Paseo Goleta. This recommendation also included installation of flashing beacons and a temporary sidewalk on the south side of Rancho Vista Road between Paseo Goleta and Camino Romo. In your letter you brought up several valid points, including inability to provide an adult crossing guardattheproposedcrosswalklocationduetolackoffunding. We believe these issues are worthy of reevaluation and reconsideration by the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. Therefore, this item will be scheduled for the August 28, 1997 regular meeting of the Public/traffic Safety Commission for reconsideration. In regards to location of the school flashing beacons, we are currently in the process of developing plans for this project. We certainly would appreciate your input on this matter. Since there is limited amount offi~nding available for that purpose, with your help we can make the best use of these funds. Mr. Thomas July 25, 1997 Page 2 I appreciate your comments and concerns.

BACKGROUND: The City received a request to install a crosswalk and a traffic signal at the above referenced location to aid the students who will attend the Vintage Hills ElemenUtry School, currently under construction, and the existing Temecula Middle School. Exhibit "A" depicts the schools and traffic signal locations. Staff has conducted a school crossing traffic signal wan'ant analysis for this intersection. Based on the existing vehicular volumes on Raneho Vista Road, this intersection does not satisfy the warrant requirements for installation of a traffic signal. Exhibit "B" eDlailg the minimum pedestrian and vehicular vol~ine requirements. It should be noted that since the Vintage Hills Elementary School will not open until July 1, 1997, an anticipated pedestrian volume was used for the purpose of this study. This information has been provided by the Temecula Valley Unified School District. Currently, the intersection of Meadows Parkway and Rancho Vista Road is controlled by a "4-Way Stop" which provides a safe erossing for pedestrians. However, this intersection is approximately 700 feet from the requested signal location and some sludents may not utilize the existing controlled intersection of Meadows Parkway and Rancho Vista Road and choose to cross Rancho Vista Road at Camjno Romo. If this situation proves to be the case, when the Vintage Hills Elementary School opens in July 1997, staff can conduct an actual pedeswian count and a warrant study for a crosswalk with an adult crossing guard and flashing yellow beacons.

Commissioner Coe led the flag salute. Chairman Markham called for non-agenda items at 7:05 P.M. M. D. Benson, 30734 Del Rey Road, stated street lighting and/or lighted directions are needed to locate City Hall. Mr, Benson also asked if a form was available to make written comments to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission. Commissioner Guerriero stated a letter addressed to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission with the City Hall address would reach the Commissioners. Steve Palmer, 30832 Del Rey Road, requested a stop sign at Avenida Buena Suerta and Del Rey Road as there have been two (2) accidents in two (2) years along with numerous potential ones as vehicles come around the curve at high speeds.

Speed 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 Avertida 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 Solaria 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. m Request 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. 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. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Perry, Markham None Johnson It was moved by Commissioner Perry, seconded by Commissioner Guerriero, to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution to install a yellow warning light at Rancho Vista Road and Camino Romo.

BACKGROUND: The Public/Traffic Safety Commission reviewed a request for installation of a pedestrian activated traffic signal on Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo on March 27, 1997. This request was submitted by parents who were concerned over the safety of their children crossing Raneho Vista Road to get to Vintage Hills Elementary School and Temeeula Middle School. This item was tabled to allow time to contact the Temeeula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) for their input and to consider other alternatives. Since the minimum requirements for installation of a school crossing traffic signal were not met for this location, staff recommended amt this request be denied. Other alternatives such as flashing beacons and adult crossing guard were also considered; however, since this intersection has not been identified as a crossing location on the "Suggested Route To School", installation of flashing beacons and adult crossing guard is not warranted. Staff also analyzed feasibility of establishing a safe crossing location on Rancho Vista Road in the vicinity. However, due to the roadway alignment, relatively high vehicular speed, roadway width, limited visibility and lack of sidewalk on the south side of Rancho Vista Road west of Camino Romo, it is recommended that all students be encouraged to cross Rancho Vista Road at Meadows Parkway which is curren~y controlled by an "All-Way Stop". This intersection is identified as a crossing location on the "Suggested Route to School". Per the Commissioners' direction, staff has reviewed Section 21372 of the California Vehicle Code and the Caltrans Traffic Manual to determine if other traffic control devices are appropriate for this area. Since neither Vintage Hills Elementary School nor Temecuia Middle School directly front Rancho Vista Road, warning signs such as "School - Speed Limit 25 MPH - When Children Present" can not be justified in the area.

Battalion Chief Winder led the flag salute. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Markham called public comments on non-agenda items. Ed Dool, Temecula Stage Stop, reported on the RTA meeting held on Wednesday, April 16, 1997, regarding a new RTA route which will fulfill the community's needs. He requested if this issue could be placed on the Commissions agenda in the near future. COMMISSION CONSENT CALENDAR 1. Minutes of March 27. 1997 The Minutes of March 27, 1997 were continued to the meeting of May 22, 1997. COMMISSION BUSINESS Request for Crosswalk and School Crossing Traffic Signal - Rancho Vista Road at Camino Romo Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. 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. She stated there is no sidewalk at the top of the hill. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION APRIL 24. 1997 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. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 3 COMMISSIONERS: NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham None Coe, Guerriero It was moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Perry to have staff review the costs for adding a five (5) foot asphalt sidewalk on the south side of Rancho Vista Road between Paseo Goleta and the existing sidewalk, a few feet west of Camino Romo, and a yellow warning light westerly on Rancho Vista Road. The motion carried as follows: 3 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Markham AYES: NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 2 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero Request for Installation of Various Traffic Control Devices - Old Town Temecula It was moved by Commissioner Perry and seconded by Commissioner Johnson to continue this item to the meeting of May 22, 1997. ITEM NO. 4 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, Associate Engineer - Traffic/CIP August 28, 1997 eY_~Item 4 Request for "Stop" Sign and "No Parking" zone - Corte Mendoza at Camino Romo RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing a "Stop" location on Corte Mendoza at Camino Romo and a "No Parking" zone on Camino Romo south of Corte Mendoza. BACKGROUND: The Cily staff received a request from a resident of Corte Mendoza to install a "Stop" sign on Corte Mendoza at Camino Romo, and to establish a "No Parking" zone on Camino Romo south of Corte Mendoza. Cone Mendoza is a long residential cul-de-sac which forms a "T" intersection with Comino Romo. Camino Romo is also a residential street which provides access to the Vintage Hills Elementary School from Rancho Vista Road and surrounding residential neighborhoods. Upon our field investigation, it became apparent that from Cone Mendoza sight distance to the south is limited. Parked vehicles south of this intersection further reduce the sight distance, therefore, parking should be restricted as shown on Exhibit "B". Due to this sight distance restriction, vehicles exiting Corte Mendoza encroach onto the intersection and block the students who are walking to or from Vintage Hills Elementary School. A one-way stop sign on Corte Mendoza at Camino Romo will require the vehicles to stop at the proposed stop limit line and proceed when both pedestrian and vehicular Waffle clear the intersection. FISCAL IMPACT: "Stop" Sign and Limit Line $150 each Red Curb, 50 L.F. @ $.50 per L.F. $150 $ 25 TOTAL $1~ Attachment: 1. Exhibit "A" - Location map 2.

Pio Pico Road between De Portola Road and Margarita Road Precee Lane south of Ynez Road Del Rio Road between Front Street and Via Montezuma Walcott Corridor between La Serena Way and Nicolas Road BACKGROUND: Several requests for installation of speed limit signs on Pio Pico Road, Precee Lane, Del Rio Road and Walcott Corridor were submitted to the City in July of 1997. Staff conducted engineering and traffic surveys for these roadways to establish a speed limit as shown in the table. Pio Pico Road between De Portoal Road and Margarita Road is a local residential street which has a variable width of 44 feet north of De Portola Road and 24 feet south of Margarita Road. Currently, there are no sidewalks on either sides of Pio Pico Road at this section. Due to the size of the lots in this area, Pio Pico Road between De Portola Road and Margarita Road does not qualify for a 25 mph prima facie speed limit. Precee Lane is a 44 foot wide residential collector street. Due to lack of residential driveways fronting lhis road and the width of this roadway, it does not qualify for a 25 mph prima facie speed limit. Del Rio Road is a 44 foot wide collector street per the City of Temecula circulation element. Del Rio Road does not qualify as a business district since 50 percent or more of the contiguous property fronting the roadway is not occupied by buildings in use for business. Therefore, a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph could not be justified for Del Rio Road. Walcott Corridor is a newly constructed by-pass corridor intended to lessen the traffic volume on Calle Medusa. Walcott Corridor is 28 foot wide with no existing sidewalks. The design speed is 30 MPH for this roadway and is currently posted 30 MPH R:\TRAFFICICOMMISSN~AGENDA\~SPEED.AGN/ajp The following table is a summary of engineering and traffic surveys.

Part One crime statistics are displayed by district within the City, providing stable parameters for monitoring criminal activity, and aiding in planning police resource deployment. The Police Department issued 656 traffic citations last month, which compares with 346 issued in June of 1996. The number of non-injury collisions decreased slightly this month as compared to June of 1996. Injury traffic collisions showed an increase over June of last year. Temecula experienced no fatal traffic collisions in June. Arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol decreased from June of 1996. Reported burglaries decreased while grand thefts increased. Auto thefts decreased only slightly over last year. Robberies and felony assaults increased slightly. Arrests made during the month declined from the previous year's figure. Felony arrests were down sharply compared to the same month last year. The Police Department responded to thirty-three "priority one" calls for service during the month of June, with an average response time of slightly over six minutes. A total of 2,441 calls for police service were generated in the City of Temecula during the month. During the month of June, the Temecula Police Department's storefront served a total of 122 people for a variety of reasons. Fifty-six people were fingerprinted, nineteen people made police reports and nine people had citations signed off. The number of persons using the facility remained fairly steady. POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITY June, 1997 Also in the month of June, the police department hosted four Temecula Valley High School students during the school's Job Shadowing program. The students were given a tour of the police facility and were then paired up with a patrol officer for a ride-along during the day watch. The police department will continue to support this program as it allows students to get a closer look at what police work is all about. Comments from students remain favorable and each program shows an increase in interest in the law enforcement career field. The POP Team of Deputies Jeff Kubel and Steve Mike began training for the upcoming T.A.G. Program (Temecula Against Graffiti). T.A.G. volunteers were selected and given training on what their roles will be. One surveillance program was initiated however, no violations were observed. Also in June, Community Service Officer Addenne Jones was reassigned to the POP Team to assist the officers in a number of functional areas. Officer Jones will provide assistance at both the storefront office and the caboose. In addition, Officer Jones will work closely with city Code Enforcement on a variety of situations. She is a valuable addition to the team and will enhance the effectiveness of our community oriented policing effort. Volunteers from the community continue to be an integral part of the Temecula Police Department's staff. Under the guidance of volunteer coordinator Ed Bekas, the Police Department's volunteer staff contributed 482 hours of service in June.
