ITEM NO. I MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JULY 9, 1998 A regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order by Chairman Telesio on Thursday, July 9, 1998, at 6:03 P.M., at the City Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, CaliBrnla. PRESENT: ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio None Also present were Public Works Senior Engineer Ali Moghadam, Police Sergeant Rodney Crisp, Fire Captain Alan Black, Associate Planner Matthew Fagan, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle, and Minute Clerk Pat Kelley. Commissioner Coe led the flag salute. PUBLIC COMMENTS Associate Planner Matthew Fagan reported on the Circulation Element Update. A draft document is planned to be available for the Commission in late October or November 1998. Mr. Fagan stated he will bring additional information to the Commission for their review and comment as they become available. Commissioner Markham commented the plan will cover Temecula plus its area of influence, which includes the City of Murrieta and some areas of the San Diego County and how they relate to each other. Chairman Telesio invited Mr. Fagan to attend the monthly meetings of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission to provide continuing updates on the progress of the Circulation Element.. Ray West, 31918 Corte Montcito, commented that semi-trucks park in front of Sam Hicks Park and museum from Friday night to Sunday creating a dangerous situation, are unsightly and asked if something could be done to prevent their parking. Commissioner Markham stated the problem is, parking is not allowed on any circulation streets and the new parking ordinance does not cover non-residential areas. Mr. Moghadam stated there is a City ordinance, which prohibits commercial vehicle parking on all City streets unless a permit is obtained from the hotel/motel and the Police Department. Sgt. Crisp reported no parking permits have been applied for. Commissioner Coe suggested educating hotel/motel operators regarding the ordinance so the truckers can be informed of the parking permit process. Commissioner Perry suggested a plan be developed whereby the motels could issue the permit and then notify the Police Department. Commissioner Coe requested the matter be agendized for the August meeting. Cynthia Johnson, 29429 Ynez Road, requested additional barricades at the end of La Paz Street where it intersects with Ynez Road. She thanked the Commission for the "Stop" signs at La Paz Street and Ynez Road as they have made a positive change in traffic. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JULY 9, 1998 Commissioner Markham requested the matter be agendized for the August meeting along with consideration of a southbound right-torn lane on Ynez Road at La Paz Street and warning ~ashers in both directions. Nelson Betancourt, 40835 Calle Medusa, requested closure of Calle Medusa due to high traffic volume and speeds. Commissioner Coe mentioned the process to dose a street requires a pedtion initiated and signed by a certain percentage of homeowners which, when filed with the City, if accepted, requires a public hearing. Commissioner Markham inquired about traffic counts on Calle Medusa and/or the Walcott Bypass. Mr. Moghadam stated Walcott Corridor would be between 1,000 to 2,000 and Calle Medusa, a little over a 1,000. Mr. Betancourt stated the residents hired a person to set up a counter and the count was 1,800 on Calle Medusa. Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Betancourt to provide the Commission with his count documents. Chairman Telesio suggested Mr. Moghadam work with Mr. Betancourt on this issue. COMMISSION CONSENT CALENDAR Minutes of June 4, 1998 It was moved by Commission Coe, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to approve the Minutes of June 4, 1998.

"No Turn on Red" Sign - Northbound Front Street at Rancho California Road Senior Engineer Ali Moghadam presented the staff report. Chairman Telesio emphasized the need m have a liberal warning period by the Police Department, right toms on a red light at that location has been an established practice for a long time. Sgt. Crisp stated there would probably be a two (2) to three (3) week warning period. It was moved by Commissioner Markham, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution establishing "No Turn on Red 4:00 P.M. TO 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday" on northbound Front Street at Rancho California Road, and staff to bring the matter beck to the Commission after the reconstructed intersection has been in operation as the right mrn restriction may no longer be needed. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JULY 9, '1998 The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None 3. Speed Limit - Various Locations Senior Engineer Ali Moghadam presented the staff report. Commissioner Markham asked if staff had the original design speed limits on La Paz Street as there is an unusual curve between Vallejo Avenue and Ynez Road. Mr. Moghadam stated he was unable to find the design speed documents. He noted that in most cases the determining factor to lower speeds are conditions that are not readily apparent to drivers, the study did not indicate any conditions other than the narrow road, which is apparent. Commissioner Markham asked about the length of the speed survey on La Paz Street and Mr. Moghadam replied approximately half-an-hour, which is the normal length, and also mentioned speed surveys are not done during peak traffic hours. Commissioner Coe asked about accidents in the area. Mr. Moghadam stated the accidents in the area were right-of-way violations, not speed violations. Carole Corazza, 44220 La Paz Street, asked the speed limit not ever be set over 35 MPH because of the curve which limits sight distance and the horse trail located in the area. She stated the small horse trail sign is not easily visible and asked if the Homeowners Association could replace it. Commissioner Markham replied the Association could do anything outside the right-of-way. Ms. Corazza asked about the process of buying the La Paz Street sign on Hwy 795 when it is replaced. Commissioner Markham said sign replacement is in the CIP for the 1998/99 FY and suggested Ms. Corazza write the City Engineer or City Manager regarding the sign purchase. Commissioner Markham asked if the reflectors made a difference and Ms. Corazza replied they did, especially at the curve. She also mentioned the bend in the road is better than having it straightened because La Paz Street would then become a thoroughfare. Victor Jones, 3066 DePortola, representing the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association (HOA), asked what triggered the speed survey on La Paz Street. Mr. Moghadam stated the Vehicle Code requires speed surveys be updated every five (5) years and the survey for La Paz Street had expired. Commissioner Perry added that residential streets, which meet the 25 MPH prima facia, do not need to be surveyed. Mr. Jones asked if a "Horse Crossing" sign could be erected either by the City or the HOA. Commissioner Markham suggested the issue be added to the other Los Ranchitos items that are to be brought back next month. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JULY 9, 1998 Mr. Jones asked if the monument sign was to be replaced or moved. Commissioner Markham suggested the HOA write the City Engineer and Mr. Donavan of Riverside County requesting the sign so the HOA can relocate it. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance establishing speed limits on the following roadway segments: 2. 3. 4. Amarita Way between Pio Pico Road and McCabe Road Montelegro Way between Pio Pico Road and McCabe Road Nicholas Road between Winchester Road and Via Lobo La Paz Street between Ynez Road and Hwy 79 South The motion carried as follows: AYES: 5 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Johnson, Markham, Perry, Telesio NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None TRAFFIC ENGINEER S REPORT Mr. Moghadam reported as soon as computer system problems with the City Wide Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) have been worked out, he will provide a demonstration of the computerized signal tracking system either individually or as a group. Chairman Telesio suggested the demonstration be scheduled a half-hour before a regular Commission meeting. Mr. Moghadam stated he met with representatives of the Town Center regarding the improvements at Rancho California Road and Town Center/Hope Way. The Center has agreed to hire a consultant to design the two (2) left-turns out of the Center and the City will be responsible for the median and signal modifications. Chairman Telesio asked that the volunteer "No Left Turn" out of the Claim Jumper driveway be made a permanent condition. Mr. Moghadam announced the City Council has adopted the 1998/99 CIP. Mr. Moghadam reported he has received a request to bring the issue of widening Ynez Road from DePortola to Margarita Road back to the Commission. Commissioner Perry stated at the CIP Workshop Public Works Director Joe Kicak said Hwy 79 South ultimate improvements had been turned down by Calltans and the City was looking at on/off ramps at Santiago Road as an alternative. Commissioner Markham stated the Santiago Interchange is one of the "wish" items in the Circulation Plan, and suggested the issue be delayed until traffic counts are done because the current counts are very different from the previous ones. Commissioner Perry stated he believes the time is here for Ynez Road to be widened to four (4) lanes all the way to Margarita Road. Commissioner Markham stated he believes that traffic will drop off on Ynez Road when Hwy 79 South is widened to six (6) lanes, in about a year-and-a-half. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION JULY 9, '1998 Commissioner Markham commented that proposals to relieve traffic include: widening and straightening Rainbow Canyon Road to get to San Diego County, a bypass road going through tribal lands and widening of Pala Road to Hwy 76 in San Diego County. He stated it is difficult getting the southern end of town traffic on the freeway at Hwy 79S as most go to San Diego, but there is no room on either side to have loop ramps so a non-standard solution must be considered. POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT Sgt. Crisp stated he had nothing to report. Commissioner Markham asked about the time the four (4) motor officers devote to the City. Sgt. Crisp replied the motor officers do not have any other duties, hours have increased and are also patrolling on weekends. Chairman Telesio asked about the accident reporting process. Sgt. Crisp stated the data base is available and evexy accident that occurs in the City is forwarded to Mr. Moghadam. Mr. Moghadam commented all accidents are not reported to the police. FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT Fire Captain Black stated to had nothing to report. Chairman Telesio asked about the French Valley Fire Station staffing. Captain Black stated staff should be available in August. Commissioner Markham noted the City has budgeted their portion of the cost. COMMISSION REPORT Chairman Telesio asked about the legality of parking in the bike zones on Margarita Road between Pauba Road and Rancho California Road. Sgt. Crisp and Mr. Mogbadam stated they would look into the matter. Commissioner Markham noted that Margarita Road was not included as a "No Parking" street in the Commission's recommendation to the City Council. Chairman Telesio reiterated it should either be a bike lane or parking, not both. It was moved by Commissioner Markham, seconded by Commissioner Coe, to adjourn the meeting at 7:44 P.M. The motion carried unanimously. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, August 13, 1998, at 6:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. John H. Telesio, Chairman Secretary ITEM NO. 2 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, P.E., Senior Engineer, Traffic September 10, 1998 Item 2 Kahwea Road Opening to Through Traffic RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission review and consider opening Kahwea Road to through traffic and make a recommendation to the City Council. BACKGROUND: The City has received several requests from the residents of the area to reevaluate closure of Kahwea Road. Several letters and telephone calls have also been received both in favor and against the existing closure (Exhibit "D"). Kahwea Road is a residential collector street which connects Calle Medusa to Via Norte. Kahwea Road varies in width from 36 feet on the west side to 44 feet on the east side. Closure of Kahwea Road has been reviewed by the Public/Traffic Safety Commission on April 27, 1993; December 9, 1993; and January 27, 1994. Several issues have been discussed during these meetings and both the residents of the area and City staff including the Fire and Police staff have commented on this issue (Exhibit "B") . After reviewing the minutes of the previous Public/Traffic Safety Commission meetings, it appears that generally the residents of Meadowview, especially the homeowners on Kahwea Road, are opposed to opening Kahwca Road to through traffic. The residents have indicated that removal of the fence will increase vehicular speed and volume on 'Kahwea Road and on other streets within the Meadowview Community. However, when any street is closed to through traffic, the traffic is diverted to other streets within a given community. In this case, the residents of Calle Pina Colada contended that the closure of Kahwea Road has unfairly increased the traffic on their street since Calle Pina Colada is the only remaining access to the east side of the Meadowview Community. In addition, closure of any street will cause more circuitous route. For example, in order to get to the Nicolas Valley Elementary School from the east side of Meadowview, one has to take Del Ray Road or Via Norte to Calle Pina Colada to North General Kearny Road to Margarita Road to Winchester Road to Nicolas Road instead of from Kahwea to Calle Medusa and Nicolas Road. The existing barrier on Kahwea Road has on a few occasions resulted in four (4) to five (5) minutes of delay to the Fire Department when responding to an emergency call because they were on the wrong side of the barrier. Section 21101(f) of the California Vehicle Code essentially states that local authorities may prohibit entry to, or exit from, or both, from any street by means of islands, curbs, traffic harriers, or other roadway design features to implement the circulation element of a general plan adopted pursuant to Article 6, Title 7 of the Government Code (Exhibit "C"). The rules and regulations authorized by this subdivision shall be consistent with the responsibility of local government to provide for the health and safety of its citizens. r:\traffic\commissn\agenda\98\O910\kahewaopening/ajp It should be noted that the City has also received several requests in the past to close Calle Medusa and Calle Pitha Colada to through traffic in this area alone.

The meeting reconvened at 8:00 P.M. 4. Kehwea Road Marty Lauber presented the staff report recommending the opening of Kahwea Road between Calle Medusa and Via Norte. Mr. Lauber advised the Commission that prior to the meeting, staff received the following regarding this issue: One letter in favor of opening Kahwea Road Six letters in opposition to opening Kahwea Road One phone call in favor of opening Kahwea Road The following individuals spoke in favor of opening Kahwea Road: Richard Green, 30707 Calle Pina Colada. Temecula Roger Johnson, 30702 Calle Pina Colade, Temecula Dan Maidment, 40228 Calle Medusa, Temecula Rolfe Wittman, 30617 Calle Pine Colada, Temecula Terry Cordell, 41284 Bravos Court, Temecula Jayme Christian, 30762 Calle Pina Colada, Temecula Betty Pettit, 30642 Calle Pina Colada, Temecula A petition containing 111 signatures was submitted in favor of opening Kahwea Road. The following individuals spoke in opposition to opening Kahwea Road: Norman Clark, 31199 Kahwea Road, Temecula Nelson Betancourt, 40835 Calle Pina Colada, Temecula Wendy 6owen, 31145 Kahwea Road, Temecula Jim Neely, 3159 Kahwea Road, Temecula David DeCarl, 31168 Kahwea Road, Temecula George Martin, 29825 Corte Faldas, Temecula Les Putnam, 31180 Kahwea Road, Temecula Ken Hollignsworth, 31139 Kahwea Road, Temecula Randall Pierce, 31148 Kahwea Road, Temecula Chuck Peterson, 3196 Kahwea Road, Temecula Dirck Edge, 40880 Via Los Altos. Temecula Jan Finnell, 31145 Via Notre, Temecula William Couch, 29881 Los Nogales Road. Temecula Alton Pace, 30600 Del Rey Road, Temecula Richard Scott, 30882 Del Rey Road, Temecula Jim Gradney, 31140 Kahwea Road, Temecula Sara Neeley, 31159 Kahwea Road, Temecula Maria Johnson, 31284 Kahwea Road, Temecula PTSMIN01127/94 -3- 2/141~4 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MINUTES JANUARY 27. 1994 The following were some of the concerns expressed by those in opposition to the opening: no sidewalks, no street lights, driveways which back onto the street, inadequate sight distance, steep grade, unsafe speeds, narrow street width, increased traffic flow to the Meadowview area, in particular Via Norte and Del Ray Road, which are narrow roads with many blind curves. Chairman Perry asked for comments from the Police Department representative. Sergeant Domenoe said the first concern would be whether closure delayed response time of emergency services however, it is felt that could be mitigated. Sergeant Domenoe said he understands the safety concerns expressed regarding the steep grade and the narrow road width however, he could not make a recommendation to open or not open the street. Commissioner Guerriero said he is not in favor of opening Kahwea Road. He said opening the road will not shorten trips throughout Temecula and everyone will be negatively impacted if the street is opened. Commissioner Johnson concurred with Commissioner Guerriero. Commissioner Coe said he feels the speed limits along Del Ray Road and Via Norte should be decreased to 25 mph. He stated he did not feel opening Kahwea Road would increase the overall traffic to Meadowview and it could possibly decrease the traffic on Calla Pina Colada and Avanida Barca. Commissioner Sander said without a network of arterial roads, he could not support the opening of Kahwea Road. Chairman Perry said although he believes the City should have open traffic routes, he can not support the opening of Kahwea Road at this time. Chairman Perry said if the opening of the road were attached to the completed improvements of Via Norte, Del Ray Road and to Kahwea Road, he could support the opening. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to deny staff recommendation and recommend to the City Council permanent closure of Kahwea Road and installation of traversable type barriers, to accommodate emergency vehicles only at the closure. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Guerriero, Johnson, Sander, Perry NOES: 1 COMMISSIONERS: Coe ABSENT: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None FTSMIN01127194 -4- 2/141~4 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MINUTES DECEMBER 9. 1993 it was moved by Commissioner Guerriero, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to approve staff recommendation and direct staff to give special attention to any and all fees to ensure they remain reasonable. The motion carried as follows: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: 4 COMMISSIONERS: I COMMISSIONERS: 0 COMMISSIONERS: Coe, Guerriero, Johnson, Sander Perry None Chairman Perry declared a recess at 8:30 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 8:45 P.M. Chairman Perry re-opened the meeting for public comment at 8:45 P.M. Csaba Ko, 41621 Avenida Barca, Temecula, asked the Commissioner to direct staff to investigate parking along Avenida Barca during the early morning drop-off and afternoon pick- up at Margarita Middle School. Mr. Ko advised the Commission vehicles are parking along Avenida Barca, sometimes double parked, waiting to pick-up student passengers. Mr. Ko said this makes it very difficult for homeowners along Avenida Barca to get in and out of their driveways. Traffic Engineer Marry Lauber suggested that staff perform a cursory review and discuss the matter with the school district and parents. Chairman Perry suggested all the Commissioners drive this street and intersection during school hours and view the situation. Chairman Perry directed staff to place this item on the next agenda for Commission discussion. Kahwea Road Ooenina Traffic Engineer Marry Lauber suggested staff place this item on the January 1994 agenda. Commissioner Johnson stated the ad-hoc committee, which included City Councilmember Jeff Stone and Mayor Pro Tem Ron Roberrs, recommended unanimously that this road not be opened. Battalion Chief Mark Brodowski advised the Commission there was a fire call in the area of Kahwea Road and because the road was closed it took the Fire Department an additional 4 1/2 minutes to respond to the emergency call. It was moved by Commissioner Guerriero, seconded by Commissioner Johnson to notice a public hearing for the opening of Kahwea Road to be held on January 27, PTSCOMMIN 12109/93 -4- 12116193 PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION MINUTES 1994.

Public Works Director Tim Serlet stated that the developer was conditioned to build the street as part of his tract map approval and if the City chooses not to open the street, it is anticipated that the developer will ask the City to reimburse the cost of construction of the street. Director Sarlet advised that the request to keep the street closed is from the Kahwea Road property owners and Calla Medusa residents.

It looks very nice and we were very pleased with the quality of work and aesthetic appeal of the fence. When the chain link fence was torn down for a couple of weeks, we did notice an increase in traffic and dangerous speeds at all hours of the day and night. One night we even had to call the police because of the speeding and out-of-control skidding and screeching of tires we heard. The sheriff's comment to us was that this street should never be opened because it was not designed to be a thoroughfare and it would be a nightmare if opened. Thank you again for the new fence. We appreciate your attention to this matter of safety to our street. CC: City Council Ronald E. Bradley, City Mgr Ronald J. Parks, Deputy Dir of Public Works City of Temecula P.O. Box 9033 Temecula, California 92589-9033 Mr. Joseph Kicak: RECEIVED,, st.,,,. ,998 AUG 2 ? 1998 CiTY OF 'I'EMECULA ENGINEERING DEPARTMEN]' This is a follow up letter to our conversations of late July and early August regarding the fence at the Meadowview boundary on Kahwea Road in Temecula. I wanted to thank you for installing a wrought iron fence at the closure point and cleaning up the trash and silt adjacent to the area. You mentioned during our phone conversations that the issue of keeping Kahwea closed would be reviewed by the staff, the Public Traffic/Safety Commission and the City Council, I encourage you to follow through on this review as quickly as possible. The worst possible position is to continue as is, without a final decision by the City Council. It is my desire to keep Kahwea closed, for various reasons, the most important, that of safety, the roads within Meadowview are narrow, hilly and winding. There have been two times since I located here in 1993, that the fence was down temporarily, cars raced down Kahwea to Via None at speeds in excess of 50 mph, hardly making the "S" curve just prior to Via None. At least twice I have witnessed drag races, starting at the fence, proceeding down Kahwea to Via None, tires smoking and attaining high speeds. Meadowview already has a continual problem with traffic and speed on mainly, Del Rey and Via None, complaints are regularly made at the Home Owners Association Monthly meetings, asking the board to do something about the speed of traffic on these roads. The city from time to time has put up the mobile radar set, but nothing seems to change. It is obvious that ifKahwea were to be opened, the traffic would increase on Via None, Del Rey and Calle Medusa as the only way to get to Kahwea is via these streets. It wouldn't take long for people to use the streets of Meadowview as a cut through to down town, the freeway, the new mall, and the new golf course being developed in Meadowview itselK I can't imagine any residents living on these three streets, wanting Kahwea to be opened as it is obvious that traffic would increase on all of them. I have checked with your office regarding the next meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission and was told it would be on Sept 10, and that the agenda would not be available until about a week ahead of time. I want to be at the meeting(s) where this issue is discussed, thus I will make every effort to find out when it is placed on the agenda. Again thank you for installing the wrought iron fence, which, as far as I am concerned, if Kahwea is dosed permanently, would serve as the permanent fence. Sincerely: Norman P.

As I told you, Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle relocated to another state due to a corporate transfer. My company is marketing their property for sale. We have had the home on the market at least sixty days now, and Realtors, plus myself, are showing the property to prospective purchasers. Our main concern is, WHY IS THAT FENCE THERE? In a neighborhood such as this, why hasn't the city taken better care of the fence? (Repair or replace.) It is an EYESORE to the area of FiNE QUALITY HOMES. Another issue to prospective buyers is the erosion on the hill across the street from subject property. As you stated, Mr. Kicalc, the issue of the fence has been discussed and on the table since 1993!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME - you and the City Councilman focus on this issue and the concerns of the citizens of Temecula. The home is now vacant and my clients have lost money on this home and I don't want them to loose anymore. This is a Guldant Corporate transfer and they must obtain a sale on this home ASAP. I am requesting information in writing to show to prospective buyers the status of the above matter. I must give them full disclosure of Kahwea Rd., closure or non- closure of repairs etc. I would appreciate immediate attention to this matter and information in writing.

":ULA ENGINEF;;',In n=r~,~c~Tr, ENT Public/Traffic Safety Commission c/o City of Temecula 43174 Business Park Dr. Temecula, Ca. 92590 re: Permanent Closure of Kahwea Application Dear Commission, I he~ive that closure of Kahwea St. is not in the public's best interest. There are too few outlets out of Meadowview right now, for a community this size. It requires a long circuitous, backtracking drive to get to most any place, especially the Calle Medusa neighborhood; even though it is directly adjacent to Meadowview. The opening of Kahwea would eliminate this problem. That is the reason (good accessiblity and traffic flow) that Kahwea was constructed as a through street and not a cul-de-sac. Shortening trips by making direct routes shortens drive time thereby reducing the numbers of cars on the roads at any time. This cuts pollution, saves time. This reduces congestion on other streets (Pina Colada, & La Serena in this case) delays the need for maintence or improvement on them and thereby saves tax dollars. Since cars are on the road for shorter periods the risk of accidents is lessened, public safety is thereby increased. I think these valid concerns more than balance against the wishes of the relative few who live on Kahwea who desire it to be a cul- de-sac for their exclusive use and enjoyment. If they wished to live on a cul-de-sac they should have moved to one rather than trying to create one after the fact at the expense of the public's welfare. Please for the sake of clean air, improved quality of life (time saved), cost savings (lower taxes) and most importantly improved public safety (people's lives) permanently open Kahwea Street as soon as possible. Sincerely, ~ Edward Day 30856 Via Norte Temecula, Ca. 92591 676-9629 P.S. Your written response would be appreciated.

Lauber, Traffic Engineer City of Temecula Public Works Department 43174 Business Park Drive Temecula, CA 92590 The purpose of this letter is to express my opposition to the proposed permanent closure of Kahwea Road. I feel that Kahwea Road should be open in order to reduce the volume of traffic on Pina Colada. The closure of Kahwea forces the majority of Meadow View residents including those living on Kahwea to use Calle Pina Colada in order to enter and exit the tract. It's only just and fair that the residents on Kahwea Road share in the necessary traffic volume for Meadow View and other Temecula traffic. I also feel that the opening of Kahwea Road will facilitate emergency vehicles into the Meadow View tract and provide its residence a safer place to live. I should also mention that the speed bumps on Calle Pina Colada did not reduce the volume on this street. The speed problem is and has been minor to the volume problem. For this reason I respectfully request that Kahwea Road be open as soon as possible. Prohibiting turns onto Calle Pina Colada and Kahwea during peak traffic hours would reduce the traffic volume. It would also require through traffic to use La Serena and Margarita Road rather than using the residential streets as a short cut. All Meadow View Residents should share in the necessary traffic volume. Please premanently OPEN Kahwea Road. Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. Please don't hesitate to contact me if further information is desired. Sincerely, cc; Mayor Ron Roberts Ray ~uellette 699-2567 ITEM NO. 3 AGENDA REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, P.E., Senior Engineer, Traffic September 10, 1998 Item 3 Flashing Beacons and Right-Turn Lane Installation - Ynez Road at La Paz Street RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommend that the City Council take no further action regarding installation of flashing beacons and right-turn lane at the intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz Street. BACKGROUND: At a special meeting held on November 20, 1997 the Public/Traffic Safety Commission recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution establishing an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Ynez Road and La Paz Street. The Commission also recommended installation of flashing beacons on Ynez Road and construction of a right-turn lane from Ynez Road to La Paz Street to minimize possibility of rear end collisions. Minutes of the meeting is attached as Exhibit "A" . At the time this item was reviewed by the Commission, turning movement counts at this intersection were not available and it was assumed that the majority of the southbound Ynez Road traffic turn right on La Paz Street. However, the actual counts indicated that the majority of vehicles, two-thirds (2/3), continue southbound on Ynez Road (Exhibit "B'). Staff has also monitored the number of accidents at this intersection. There has been one (1) reported solo accident at this intersection since installation of the "Stop" sign. This accident was caused by a driver who turned right from Ynez Road to La Paz Street at a high rate of speed through the dirt vacant lot at the southwest corner of this intersection and after loosing control of the vehicle rolled over on La Paz Street. Since this intersection currently operates safely, it does not appear that flashing beacons and a right-turn lane are necessary at this time. FISCAL IMPACT: None Attachment: 1. Exhibit "A' - Minutes of Special Meeting, November 20, 1997 2. Exhibit "B" - Volume Data 3. Exhibit "C" - Collision Diagram EXHIBIT "A" MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20, 1997 A special meeting of the City of Temecula Public/Traffic Safety Commission was called to order on Thursday, November 20, 1997, 6:02 P.M., in the City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California. Chairman Markham called the meeting to order. PRESENT: COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Telesio, Markham ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: Coe Also present were Director of Public Works Joseph Kicak, Public Works Associate Engineer All Moghadam, Police Sergeant Rodney Crisp, Administrative Secretary Anita Pyle, and Minute Clerk Pat Kelley. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Markham moved the public comment section for non-agenda items to the end of the meeting. COMMISSION BUSINESS 1. Reouest for an "All-Way Stoo" at Ynez Road and La Paz Street Associate Engineer All Moghadam presented the staff report. Commissioner Telesio asked if there is any indication of the percentage of traffic turning right vs. those continuing east. Mr. Moghadam stated while he was in the area, he observed approximately 60 to 70 percent of the traffic making a right turn to access Hwy. 79(S). He added motorists turning are not causing accidents, but are contributing to the problem since the majority of motorists are turning right onto La Paz Street, and the motorists on La Paz are waiting to make a left-turn onto Ynez Road assume approaching eastbound motorists are turning right onto La Paz Street, and pull out in front of motorists continuing eastbound. Commissioner Johnson asked if there was room for a right-turn lane on Ynez Road. Mr. Moghadam stated a right-turn lane would require additional paving, but would be within the existing right-of-way. Commissioner Johnson asked about stacking space requirements for a right-turn lane. Mr. Moghadam replied is approximately 200 feet, including the transition, would be needed. Ernest Curtsinger, 29083 Ynez Road, representing the Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association, spoke in favor of the "Stop" signs, and mentioned speed is also an issue based on his personal observation. He suggested a "Stop" sign for all three (3) directions, a right-turn lane, and a lower speed limit. Mr. Curtsinger reiterated the problem is traffic trying to avoid Hwy. 79(S) congestion. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20. 1997 Chairman Markham noted the 85th percentlie for the November 14, 1997 survey is 49.5 which drops the speed limit to 45 MPH, with the highest speed recorded as 50 MPH. He mentioned the speed limit goes to 50 MPH at Jedediah Smith Road. Terri Gassen, 44501 Verde Drive, expressed concern about speeding and motorists passing as it is a difficult and dangerous route due to the undulating roadway. Bob Yabroff, 29370 Ynez Road stated a lower speed limit would be helpful and is in favor of a right-turn lane. However, Mr. Yabroff noted if the "Stop" signs are installed, the back-up of southbound motorists will make it difficult to make a left-turn out of his driveway, especially between the hours 5:00 and 7:00 PMo Carole Corazza, 44220 La Paz Street, spoke in favor of the "Stop" signs and a sign alerting motorists of a 'Stop Ahead", and stated the situation will not be eased until Hwy. 79(S) improvements are completed in two (2) to three (3) years. She is concerned that the rise does not allow a motorist to visually determine if there is sufficient time to make a safe maneuver, which is made more dangerous by speeding vehicles. Rebecca Weersing, 41775 Yorba Avenue, mentioned that between Margarita Road and Santiago Road, she observed only two (2) speed limit signs, one (1) 50 MPH sign near DePortola, and one (1), 45 MPH near Coronado, Ms. Weersing mentioned an additional problem of turning right onto Ynez Road at Yorba Avenue due to a short sight distance. Cynthia Johnson, 29420 Ynez Road, invited the Commissioners to sit in her driveway during evening peak hour to hear the continual screeching of brakes and horns honking. Police Sergeant Crisp remarked sight distance was the problem in the two (2) recent accidents. Director of Public Works, Joseph Kicak, explained the plans and specifications for the Hwy 79S/I-15 Interchange Project, which include modification and realignment of Front Street, modification to the east and west on and off-ramps as well as signalization for the three (3) intersections, will go to bid mid December, with a contract award in February 1998, and a seven (7) to nine (9) month construction period. He stated Caltrans considers this an interim project, and the City is doing a project study report to determine the ultimate design. Mr. Kicak reported that at this time, there is no schedule for the rest of Hwy 79(S) improvements, which is funded by Assessment District 159. The City Council budgeted $1.2 million in the CIP for the City's portion and has al.so received a $5 million loan from Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) of which $1.2 million is earmarked for the project. Chairman Markham stated the best case scenario is the project for the widening of Hwy 79(S) will go to bid mido1998 with a year to 14omonth construction schedule. Mr. Kicak stated a contract for the engineering of the Pala Road Bridge was awarded in November 1997; tentative schedule is for completion by the year 2000. He said the project includes relocating the existing bridge, construction of a new bridge, widening Pala Road, from Hwy 79(S) to the bridge, to six (6) lanes and widening a portion of the south approaches to the bridge. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20. 1997 Commissioner Perry expressed concern about a "Stop" sign at Ynez Road and La Paz Street causing traffic back-up of southbound motorists being unable to see the backed- up traffic until they are upon it. He stated a long right-turn lane might circumvent the problem, but if a lot of southbound motorists approach the hill, there will be a problem. Commissioner Johnson suggested adding a right-turn lane with a yield sign instead of a "Stop" sign for right-turn lane. Chairman Markham inquired about the stopping sight distance at 50 to 55 MPH. Mr. Moghadam answered existing 620 feet sight distance meets the requirement. Mr. Moghadam mentioned the City Council's direction was to look into a signal at that intersection with a "Stop" sign as an interim measure, but staff does not have sufficient data to determine if signal warrants are met at this time. He agrees a "Stop" sign may reduce the number of some types of accidents. It was moved by Chairman Markham, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to recommend the City Council add three-way "Stop" signs on Ynez Road, install a dedicated right-turn lane on Ynez Road at La Paz Street at a length appropriate to provide sufficient stacking space, install permanent flashing lights warning drivers of a "Stop Ahead" in both directions, and consider adding speed limit signs on Ynez Road, especially at the transitions. Commissioner Telesio questioned how Mr. Yabroff's access problem will be overcome. Mr. Moghadam replied the intersection will have to be cleared as quickly as possible and he will look into the matter further. The motion carried as follows: AYES: 4 COMMISSIONERS: Johnson, Perry, Telesio, Markham NOES: 0 COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: I COMMISSIONERS: Coe PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Markham called for public comments on non-agenda items. Mr. Victor Jones, representing Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association, stated a presentation will be made by the Homeowners Association at the December 11, 1997 or January 1998 meeting. Chairman Markham suggested the Homeowners Association provide staff their concerns in writing as soon as possible and staff will notify the Association if it is possible to get the issue on the December 11 agenda. PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION NOVEMBER 20, 1997 COMMISSION DISCUSSION Commissioner Perry stated the "Stop" sign at Ynez Road will provide a never-ending stream of traffic along Ynez Road to Margarita Road and it will become progressively more difficult to make left-turns Onto other streets. Chairman Markham mentioned the matter will be before the City Council on November 25, 1997 as a Consent Calendar item. Mr. Kicak stated the item is on the agenda and the staff report will be handed out no later than Monday, November 24. Mr. Moghadam clarified the report to the City Council will recommend putting in the "Stop" sign and temporary flashing beacons immediately with permanent flashing lights installed as soon as possible. Jeff Comenchero, newly elected Councilmember, mentioned even though the item is on the Consent Calendar, it can be pulled for public comment. It was moved by Commissioner Telesio, seconded by Commissioner Perry, to adjourn the meeting at 7:04 PM. The motion carried unanimously. The next regular meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission will be held on Thursday, December 11, 1997, at 7:00 P.M., Temecula City Hall Council Chambers, 43200 Business Park Drive, Temecula, California.

BACKGROUND: At the July 9, 1998 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, per the residents' request, the Commission directed staff to evaluate installation of additional barricades on the north side of Ynez Road at La Paz Street and installation of equestrian crossing signs and pavement markings in the Los Ranchitos Community. Two (2) steel posts of unknown nature have been installed on the north side of Ynez Road at La Paz Street. These posts do not meet the current standards for barricades and they may have been installed before the City incorporated. There is an existing W56 (two-sided arrow) sign on the north side of Ynez Road for the northbound La Paz Street traffic. There are hundreds of "T" intersections within the City limits. Installation of barricades of some sort at any intersection with a few traffic collisions is neither feasible nor recommended since it could become a precedent setting action. However, the property owners could install a barricade or a wall outside of the public right-of- way at their expense. In regards to inslallalion of signing and pavement markings for equestrian crossing, the existing trails as shown on the Parks and Recreation Master Plan are tentative. When the Citywide Trails Master Plan is ~nalized, the City will install equestrian crossing signs at appropriate locations. It should also be noted that the existing trails within Los Ranchitos are private trails and not City owned. FISCAL IMPACT: None ITEM NO. 5 AGENDA REPORT FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Public/Traffic Safety Commission Ali Moghadam, P.E., Senior Engineer, Traffic September 10, 1998 Item 5 Request to Remove "No Turn on Red Signs" - Front Street at Rancho California Road RECOMMENDATION: That the Public/Traffic Safety Commission deny a request to remove the recently installed "No Turn On Red, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m., Mon- Fri" signs on northbound Front Street at Rancho California Road. BACKGROUND: Recently, the Public/Traffic Safety Commission and the City Council approved installation of a sign restricting right-turn on red during the p.m. peak hours on Front Street at Rancho California Road. The same day that the signs were installed, the City received a complaint from a citizen stating that the new turn restriction is causing the traffic to hack up on Front Street because the green interval for northbound From Street is too short, and the lanes between Front Street and 1-15 southbound ramps are filled with the vehicles turning left from southbound From Street. The citizen also stated that the back up on Front Street would cause delay to the Fire Station 12 vehicles responding to an emergency call. Staff has reviewed this situation and conducted a turning movemere count attached as Exhibit "A". The turning movement counts which were conducted between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. indicated that during this period majority of vehicles made a right-turn on green. The highest queue on northbound From Sweet was 11 vehicles during the peak hours; however, this number could increase when the turn restriction is enforced. As it is apparem on Exhibit "A" , during the highest peak hour between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. majority of vehicles turning right on red blocked the intersection. This occurs when the light is green for eastbound Rancho California Road but the eastbound traffic does not enter the intersection in order not to block it. It was also observed that some vehicles used the Unocal gas station driveways to get to Rancho California Road in order to avoid the turn restriction. The reeem turn restriction does not appear to have a significant impact on the northbound Front Street right- turn movement. However, if the enforcement of the turn restriction creates excessive delay, the signal timing can be adjusted to allow more green time for the northbound through and right traffic. In addition, this turn restriction will be reviewed when the eastbound Rancho California Road to northbound 1-15 loop ramp is completed. The City has received only one (1) negative and several positive comments regarding the turn restriction.

BACKGROUND: The City has received several requests from the residents of the area near the Paloma Elementary School and the Temecula Valley Unified School District to install an "All-Way Stop" at the intersection of Amarita Way and Via Rami. Amarita Way is a 48-foot wide roadway which provides primary access to the Paloma Del Sol residential community and the Paloma Elementary School. The speed limit is posted at 40 MPH on Amarita Way. "Speed limit 25 When Children Present" signs are also posted at the boundary of Paloma Elementary School. Via Rami is also a 48-foot wide residential collector street with school area signage. There are existing school crosswalks on two (2) legs of this intersection. Currently this intersection is controlled with "Step" signs on Via Rami. Caltrans Traffic Manual has established four (4) criteria for evaluation of "All-Way Stop" signs. These criteria are as follows: Where signals are warranted and urgendy 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. 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 and left4urn collisions as well as right-angle collisions. 3. Minimum Traffic Volumes 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 The combined vehicular 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 seconds per vehicle during the maximum hour, but When the 85-percential approach speed of the major street traffic exceeds 40 miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume warrant is 70 percent of the above requirements. School area traffic control recommendations/warrants. The following is the result of the data collected at this intersection. 1. A traffic signal is neither warranted nor is urgen~y needed at lhis location. There has been one (1) reported accident at this intersection within the last twelve (12) months (Exhibit "B"). 3. a. The total vehicular volume entering this intersection during the busiest eight (8) hours averages 350 as compared to 350 (500 X 70%) needed to meet this portion of the warrant (Exhibit "C ") The vehicular volumes from the minor street averages 172 during the same eight (8) hours as above. This compares to the 140 (200 X 70%) threshold. 4. Currently, several school children cross this intersection with assistance of an adult crossing guard. This intersection meets the minimum traffic volumes warrant and therefore, an "All-Way Stop" installation is recommended. 2. 3. 4. 5.

BACKGROUND: The City has received several requests in the past to establish "No Parking" zones to prohibit parking of the large commercial vehicles in various locations throughout the City. At the July 9, 1998 meeting of the Public/Traffic Safety Commission, a resident requested that parking be restricted on Moreno Road in front of Sam Hicks Park to eliminate parking of the large commercial trucks in the area. Section 10.16.260 of the Temecula Municipal Code (Exhibit "A") prohibits parking of commercial vehicles within all public rights-of-way unless exempted from the parking prohibition per Section 10.16.270 of the Temecula Municipal Code (copy attached). Any additional parking prohibition by means of curb marking or signing not only will be redundant, but it will also eliminate parking of passenger vehicles and all other non-commercial vehicles especially in locations where there is a high demand for on-street parking such as parks and commercial areas.

BACKGROUND: Attached is a letter to the Public/Traffic Safety Commission which includes letters to the Editor of the Californian. These letters identify an existing roadway network as well as future connections which could potentially minimize the congestion at the interchanges within the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta. Attached is a map showing these routes. FISCAL IMPACT: None Attachment: Exhibit "A' Map and Letter from Mr. Sam Pratt EXI-IIFtlT "A" TIlE TE~IECLIL~ ~/ALLEF }osed ILA Old Town Temecula ALBERT S.

The Californian has published their summary of these suggestions in a recent edition. As a result of this public exposure, 1 have received calls from residents requesting the definitive route with the comment that this suggestion has present merit in relieving local Temecula traffic congestion. I have also been contacted by Mathew Fagan of the City of Temecula Planning Department. 1 have emailed him this "Ring Route" information. For the long term, a "Ring Road" or "Beltway" would make the greatest impact on local traffic congestion relief and may well be years away and require the coperation (and joint financing) of the County of the State of California, the Counties of San Diego and Riverside and the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula. However, as an immediate relief, the suggested "Ring Route" has merit and I have personally used it in both directions. Additional enhancement - requiring funding and construction - providing an even greater "Ring Route" access with reduced travel time would be to widen all local thoroughfares to four (4) lanes. To the Noah: extend Wolf Valley Road to the west connecting with Rainbow Canyon Road (avoiding the Rainbow Canyon Village area and Golf Course). A frontage road would have to be provided west of Pala Road in front of the existing homes. ALBERT S.

This would eliminate the more circuitous route via Rancho California, Margarita Road, La Serena and the Wallcolt Corridor. The investment may well provide an interim traffic congestion solution for some years as a reduced cost to all agencies involved. A suggestion to make the presently suggested "Ring Rome" more visible and effective would be street markings indicating the access - in both directions - to SR79 N & S, 1-215N, and I-15 N & S.

Major interchanges to the south at I-15, to the north at 1-215, and to the north west at 1-15. The road would follow the foothills to the west and would require a more selective path to the east. With the growth in the southwest area of Riverside county the "Ring Road" would collect the new traffic and bypass Temecula and Murrieta areas resulting in a major future mitigation of traffic congestion. Assuming an eventual tax base of 100,000, a not unreasonable filmre, would be an additional $100.00 per taxpayer per year retiring a bond issue. It is also possible this would be in the best interest of Riverside County and the State further reducing the tax burden to Temecula and Murrieta residents. "Red Tile Roof Residents" consider the benefits now! It will soon be impossible to mitigate. Sam Pratt Califorma Registration: civil Ertgm~,~x No 7697 Slruglural Engineer No 650 ALBERT S.

If you feel the letter has merit in our community efforts toward relieving traffic congestion 1 believe it may prove more effective in two parts. Following is the same letter broken down into two parts for your consideration. Thank you, Sam Pratt Subject: Ring Route, Part I Residents waiting for a "Ring Road" to be constructed around Murrieta and Temecula have the following existing options for lowering "Road Rage" to and from work, going to shop, to see friends, and other needs. The suggested "Ring Route" avoids all congested intersections except for Rancho California Road and Margarita Road - which was chosen as the reference point. The local area map supplied by the Southern California Automobile Club (Copyrighted - route not photocopied) was used for routes and. distance checks in addition to driving and logging the miles and times to the various intersections. The Ring Route uses local thoroughfares. A resident can obtain a map from the Auto Club, plot the Rin~ Route, locate their residence and determine the benefits of piece of mind (minimizing congestion) and safety to the driver and their families. Residents waiting for a "Ring Road" to be constructed around Murrieta and Temecula have the following existing options for lowering "Road Rage" to and from work, going to shop, to see friends, and other needs. As an interim measure this "Ring Route" provides a detour relieving Temecula traffic congestion for motorists living northeast and southeast of Temecula and needing access, as required, to SR 79N and SR 795, 1-215N, 1-155 and 1-1 5N.
