COMMISSION BUSINESS
2. Traffic Circulation Improvement Projects
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Public Works Department that the Public/Traffic Safety Commission
review and provide comments on several short- and long-term traffic circulation improvement
projects.
r:\traffic\comrnlssn\minutes~99\032599/ajp
With the use of overheads, Senior Engineer Moghadam presented the staff report (of record) for the
t~fllowing projects:
Winchester Road at Jefferson Avenue
In response to Commissioner Connerton, Senior Engineer Moghadam replied that a dedicated right-
turn lane will not be possible until eastbound Winchester Road is widened. He mentioned that the
southwest corner property owner has indicated an interest in donating right-of-way for the right-turn
lane. Commissioner Markham remarked that it would be necessary to internally modify the southwest
parking lot to prevent cut-through traffic. In response to Commissioner Connerton's question
regarding low right-turn volumes, Senior Engineer Moghadam stated that it was his observation that
cut-through traffic does not substantially affect the volumes, but that may change when Overland Drive
is opened: and at that time, the situation could be restudied.
Acting Director Hughes stated that acquisition of right of way for a dedicated right-turn lane would be
a Category 3 project.
Commissioner Markham recommended that signs stating that the curb lane is the northbound and
southbound freeway-designated lane, be installed on Winchester Road, west of Jefferson Avenue.
In response to Commissioner Telesio's concern about stacking on Jefferson Avenue, Senior Engineer
Moghadam reported that since eastbound right turns are allowed during the northbound green phase,
during westbound left-turn movement, and whenever an opportunity arises during a red cycle , the
right-turn wait time is about 2 to 3 minutes at peak hour. Additionally, he stated that it is anticipated
that traffic at that intersection will be eased when Overland Drive is constructed.
MOTION: Commissioner Markham moved that a project to acquire the right-of-way and to construct
an eastbound dedicated right-turn lane on Winchester Road at Jefferson Avenue be added to Category
3. Commissioner Connerton seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
Winchester Road at Ynez Road
In response to Chairman Coe's question regarding northbound on-ramps to 1-15, Acting Director
Hughes stated that a change order is being pursued through Caltrans to add a second right lane which
will allow full stacking of both northbound left lanes on Ynez Road.
Winchester Road - Jefferson Avenue to Ynez Road
In response to Commissioner Connerton's concern about the estimated costs listed fi3r signing, Senior
Engineer Moghadam stated that the costs will be corrected.
Rancho Calilbrnia Road - Vincent Moraga Drive to Front Street
Acting Director Hughes stated that the City has the right-of-way for the westerly realignment of Diaz
Road and since a grant for rehabilitation of Jefferson Avenue has generated an additional $800,000, the
realignment will be added to the current CIP program at the request of the City Council, and requests
fi~r design proposals are being prepared.
2
r:\traffic\commissn\minutes\99\032599/ajp
In response to Commissioner Markham's proposal regarding obtaining Flood Control creek property to
ctmstruct a dedicated right-turn lane at Rancho California Road and Front Street, Senior Engineer
Moghadam replied that at this time traffic volumes do not justify another lane, but such a project could
be considered for Category 3. He added that to improve the road alignment, major restriping is
required, which will be completed whenever the road is repaved. In response to Commissioner
Connerton's question regarding time length, Acting Director Hughes stated that it would probably not
take long to obtain the property since it would be designated for public street purposes, but there are
physical constraints as the bridge abutment is very close to Front Street and if the western shoulder
were widen, there would be inadequate turning radius which impact the project. He added that
widening a southbound designated right-turn lane should be considered with the widening of the
Rancho California Bridge, which is an identified future project although it is not in the CIP. Senior
Engineer Moghadam mentioned that with only one lane through Old Town, the benefit of another lane
would be marginal.
In response to Commissioner Edwards' question regarding the Diaz Road connection to Vincent
Moraga, Cnmmissioner Markham replied that there is more stacking room on Rancho California Road
and Vincent Moraga will ultimately be a secondary access road to the Western Bypass.
Rancho California Road at Northbound and Southbound 1-15 Ramps
Acting Director Hughes presented the staff report (of record) and reported on the following proposed
change orders:
· adding double left-turn movements from westbound Rancho California Road to southbound 1-15.
· widening the northbound on-ramps to receive traffic from the two Ynez Road left-turn lanes and
the second right-turn lane on Rancho California Road will be widened to Ynez Road.
He pointed out that these change orders are not funded through the current CIP; therefore, City
Council approval would be required; and that the City Manager is reviewing excess sales tax revenues
which may offset the cost.
Acting Director Hughes mentioned that a separate project to widen the southbound Rancho California
Road off-ramp is currently under design, but will not happen in the near future.
Rancho California Road at Ynez Road
Acting Director Hughes mentioned that when the westerly crosswalk is removed, there may be
co~nplaints from businesses as it is a convenience to pedestrians; however, he stated that the
improvement in traffic circulation outweighs any inconvenience. In response to Commissioner
Connerton's concern about jaywalkers, Senior Engineer Moghadam stated that a barricade will be
installed to dissuade crossing.
Acting Director Hughes stated that the crosswalk at Front Street and Rancho California issue could be
revisited as conditions have changed since it was last before the Commission.
3
r:\traffic\corn~nissn\minutes\99\032599/aip
Rancho California Road -Ynez Road to Moraga Road
Colnmissioner Connerton recommended that an angled crosswalk at Hope Way be striped as soon as
possible in order to prevent pedestrians from walking in the street and crossing the Town Center's
driveway; and to place a barricade and a sign "Cross Only" on the northeast side. Senior Engineer
Moghadam stated that he would review the situation.
Rancho California Road at Margarita Road
It was the consensus of the Commission to eliminate the bicycle lane on Margarita Road to gain an
additional left-turn lane onto westbound Rancho California Road.
State Route 79 - Interstate 15 to Pala Road
In response to Commissioner Markham's comments regarding the median and signal facilities at
Bedtbrd Court. Acting Director Hughes stated that part of the reason for this project's rise on the
priority list is because staff was directed to find all projects that can improve traffic flow and this
pr{~iect is a relatively low-cost item with a great benefit to traffic flow. He also mentioned that the
signal takes away a large capacity of the on-ramps; thereby making the improvements on State Route
79 less effective. Acting Director Hughes stated that the issue will be brought back to the Commission
I~r further discussion in 30 days and if it were determined to be a viable project, the issue will be
agendized. Commissioner Markham informed the Commission that Assessment District's 8159 project
bid opening is April 9, 1999 and as part of that project, property owners on the north side are paying
tbr a street entrance and for signal poles, controllers and loops to be installed in the ultimate location.
In response to Commissioner Telesio's question regarding list approval, Acting Director Hughes
explained that if after detailed discussion of each project, there are no Commission concerns or all
raised concerns are resolved, staff will proceed with implementation.
Commissioner Markham suggested that the category and priority listing layouts be simplified as it is
conthsing, Senior Engineer Moghadam suggested that the projects could be listed as short-term and
not-so-short-term projects.
3. Resolution Amending Meeting Dates of the Public/Traffic Safety Committee
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended by the Public Works Department that the Public/Traffic Safety Commission
approve the second and Ibrth Thursday of each month as regular meeting dates.
Senior Engineer Moghadam presented the staff report (of record).
MOTION: Commissioner Markham moved to adopt a resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. PTS99-01
A RESOLUTION OF THE PUBLIC/TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. PTS98-01 ESTABLISHING THE
SECOND AND FOURTH THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH AS REGULAR MEETING
DATES.

r:\traffic\commissn\minutes\99\032599/ajp
Commissioner Connerton seconded the motion and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.
TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S REPORT
Senior Engineer Moghadam reported that minor timing adjustments were made at the signals at the
Winchester Road and Ynez Road and Rancho California Road and Ynez Road intersections which have
improved traffic flow, but monitoring will continue.
In response to Commissioner Telesio's comments, Senior Engineer Moghadam explained that in a
coordinated system, signals automatically retime cycles after specific events; i.e., a pedestrian is given
30 seconds to cross a wide street when the normal phase is 20 seconds for through traffic; therefore, to
make up the additional 10 seconds, other cycles are automatically shortened until signal functioning is
returned to normal. He mentioned that emergency vehicle preemption also create adjustments for three
(3) to five (5) cycles.
POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT
No report given.
FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT
No report given.
COMMISSION REPORT
Commissioner Edwards mentioned that the lights at Margarita Middle School, Linfield School, and
occasi{inally at the high school continue to flash at inappropriate times.
Commissioner Markham passed out the prioritized list of present and future traffic improvement needs
as approved by the Commission on May 22, 1997.
Commissioner Markham mentioned that the Public Works Construction Updates published in the
Californian and Press Enterprise is unreadable because it is too small and suggested that the use of a
I/4 page on a monthly basis, and include minor and major projects under design, out-to-bid projects,
use of graphs. plus referencing the website would be more effective in informing the citizens about
i~rojects staff is working on to improve the traffic situation. He added that the AD159, AD161, etc.,
ioint prqiects should also be included since the City is assisting with funding in millions of dollars.
Acting Director Hughes stated that the original purpose of the Public Works ad was to alert motorists
of rlmtes under construction which might impact them, but that consideration will be given to adding
other intbrmation.
In response to Commissioner Connerton's inquiry, Senior Engineer Moghadam stated that he had not
heard any results regarding the additional presence of the police on Pina Colaria.
MOTION: Commissioner Markham moved to schedule and notice the regular Public/Traffic Safety
Commission meetings for April be held on April 15, 1999 and April 29, 1999.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Connerton and voice vote reflected unanimous approval.

r:\traffic\commissn\minutes\99\O32599/ajp

Commissioner Telesio stated that he and Commissioner Connerton will trade areas of responsibility;
i.e., Safety will be the responsibility of Commissioner Connerton, and he will take
Maintenance/Installation.
In response to Commissioner Connerton's question regarding staggered working times, Acting
Director Hughes stated that staff has been working with the City Manager's office and the issue will
be tm the April 15, 1999 meeting.
Cnmmissioner Telesio mentioned that Mr. Ouellette expressed creative ideas for the Pina Colada traffic
situation in a letter to Mayor Ford and he would like it included in the Commissioners' packets when
Pina Colada is on the agenda.
Chairman Coe voiced his opinion that traffic is improving.
In response to Commissioner Connerton's question about police and fire representation, Administrative
Secretary Pyle stated that both departments had been notified of the meeting, but that emergencies,
training sessions or other appointments sometimes prevent their attendance. She stated that she would
ascertain if their attendance were required.
