MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 4, 2012
TO: Traffic Engineering Committee
FROM: Rick Seanor, Deputy Director of Public Worksj
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Traffic Concerns in the
Vicinity of North Oak Street, Cypress Avenue, and North Pine Street
Agenda Item 5a.
REQUEST: Several residents submitted a letter Attachment "A" requesting a chance to
meet with the Traffic Engineering Committee and Police Department Representatives
regarding traffic concerns in the vicinity of North Oak Street, Cypress Avenue, and North
Pine Street. The residents cited the following concerns: speeding, reckless driving, and
signage at North Pine Street and Cypress Avenue.
DISCUSSION: North Oak Street is designated as a collector street and serves as an
alternate route to connect Low Gap Road with downtown Ukiah. In May 2012, a speed
survey completed on North Oak Street confirmed the posted 25 mph speed zone. This past
summer, the speed radar trailer was posted on North Oak Street between Gibson Street
and Cypress Avenue for several weeks. The speed radar trailer is an effective tool to
provide direct feedback to drivers of their speed compared to the posted speed zone. In
addition, the police department has, in the past, provided enforcement of vehicle speeds
with officers parked on Cypress Avenue at North Oak Street. Cypress Avenue is a local
street, providing access to the neighborhood as well as Pomolita School. North Pine Street
is also classified as a local street. North Pine Street is fairly wide and has a valley gutter
crossing, for street drainage, at its intersection with Cypress Avenue. There is an offset jog
of Cypress Avenue at its intersection with North Pine Street. Please refer to the attached
photo map, Attachment "B" for an aerial view of the intersection. Also, please refer to the
photograph shown in Attachment "C" which represents the driver's eye view of the
intersection.
Staff researched the accident records for the North Pine Street and Cypress Avenue
intersection. During the last nine years, there have been only two reported accidents at the
intersection. Both of these accidents involved drivers who were driving under the influence.
Upon review of signage applications for the intersection of North Pine Street and Cypress
1 Avenue, staff determined that a "DIP" sign with a 10 mph advisory speed plate would be
appropriate for this location. In addition, staff determined that a turn sign with a 10 mph
- Page 2

Street
Agenda Item 5a.
October 4, 2012
advisory speed plate would be appropriate for this location.
RECOMMENDATION: 1) Post two each DIP signs with 10 mph advisory speed plates;
2) Post two each TURN signs with 10 mph advisory speed plates; 3) Take no action;
4) Refer to staff for further analysis.

Chris Dewey, Chief of Police, City of Ukiah

DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS
Dear Chief Dewey:
Please consider this neighborhood appeal for traffic abatement assistance
from the N. Oak St., N.Pine St., and east Cypress St. community. We are cc'ing this to
the Traffic Engineering Committee through Public,Works, and to Captain Trent
Taylor, who is listed as a police staff community contact. We hope to work with you
to address serious speeding and reckless driving issues on our streets. We look
forward to your reply, and meeting with you to address our safety problems.
We understand staffing limitations and service needs throughout the city
impact your and all city departments. We are appreciative of police response to
emergency and service calls in our neighborhood, and to periodic placement of an
unmanned speed monitoring unit on Oak St. However, increased high speed traffic
on all three streets, and a recent repeat of a very dangerous accident on the curve of
Pine and Cypress, have raised our concern.
As you know, N. Oak St. is a narrow, 25. mph, alternative parallel route for N.
State St. traffic from Low Gap to downtown, much used particularly during commute
and school starting and ending hours. The .4 mi. stretch from Low Gap to Scott Sts.,
with no crosswalks, stop signs, or other traffic abatement, has a downgrade from
Gibson St. to the Orr Creek Bridge where cars routinely pick up speed to 45 mph
plus. Speeding on N. Oak is common from downtown north, too. N. Pine is a wide
street commonly used at excessive speed by traffic to and from Bush St. It dips,
curves, and twists at Cypress St., which sometimes surprises first time users.
Regular users often speed up to the curve and dip and accelerate when through it
We request to have representatives of our community meet with Police
Department and Traffic Engineering Committee representatives to identify and
work on ways of improving our streets' safety. We recognize that you, as the
professionals, have perspectives, ideas, and resources about which we want to be
educated. We are ready to participate in our own neighborhood protection, and
have ideas of our own. A few specifics: in past years, a police speed monitoring car
parked on Cypress between Oak and Pine appeared to have good results in catching
speeders; we would like to have that service more often. We understand peak
traffic hours (early morning, late afternoon) are also often police shift change hours;
we'd like to identify times that would provide the most deterrence to speeders. We
believe more frequent use of the unmanned speed monitor, and more speed limit
signage on Oak and Pine would be helpful. A dip and curve sign for northbound
traffic on Pine heading to Cypress, and reflectors on the curve, seem likely to be
effective. We're interested in discussing possible crosswalks and traffic calming
measures.
Thank you for your attention. We will appreciate your response to one or
more of our community representatives, listed on the next page with signatures.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 4, 2012'
TO: Traffic Engineering Committee
FROM: Rick Seanor, Deputy Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Crosswalk Request —
Observatory Avenue
Agenda Item 5b.
REQUEST: Staff received a letter, Attachment "A ", from Martin Bradley requesting that a
crosswalk be placed on Observatory Avenue at Marwen Drive for students and other pedestrians
walking to and from the Community Transition Program located at 432 Observatory Avenue.
DISCUSSION: Observatory Avenue is an east — west street connecting South State Street with
Helen Avenue. There is one lane of traffic for each direction with curbside parking generally
unrestricted. Marwen Drive ends at a "T- intersection" with Observatory Avenue opposite the
Community Transition Program. There are no ADA curb ramps at the intersection of Marwen
Drive with Observatory Avenue. Please refer to the attached photo map, Attachment "B" for an
aerial view of the location for the proposed crosswalk. In May 2012, a speed survey completed
on Observatory Avenue confirmed the posted 25 mph speed zone. A crosswalk as proposed at
the Community Transition Program would be considered a "mid block crosswalk" since there is
not a through cross street intersection at the requested location. Mid block crosswalks are not
generally preferred since drivers do not expect crosswalks at locations other than intersections.
In addition, crosswalks can give pedestrians a false sense of security that they are protected
from traffic. The proposed crosswalk, however, would provide the necessary channelization to
ensure that all pedestrians cross at the specified location. In the event that a crosswalk is
installed at the requested location, trained crossing guards could be utilized to provide additional
safety measures for students crossing the street. For reference, an excerpt from the California
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), 2012 Edition, regarding crosswalk
applications is attached. Please refer to Attachment "C ".
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is submitting this report for review and discussion by the TEC.
Staff has provided the following options for consideration:
1. Recommend approval of crosswalk.
2. Refer to staff for further analysis.
3. Deny request for crosswalk.

Dear Mr. Seanor,

CITY OF UKIAH
DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS
October 1, 2012
I am writing on behalf of the students, staff and parents of the Ukiah Unified School District's
(UUSD) Community Transition Program (CTP) located at 432 Observatory Avenue. Many of the
students are cognitively impaired or have disabilities.
As you may know, there is no sidewalk on the north side of Observatory Avenue west of Alice
Avenue to Observatory Park. To go to Observatory Park, pedestrians must walk on the street
passed parked cars or cross diagonally to the south side of Observatory Avenue until they come
to Marwen Drive, then cross, without the benefit of a crosswalk, to the south entrance of
Observatory Park and the CTP. If there were to be a crosswalk located at Marlow Avenue, it
would be possible for pedestrians leaving Observatory Park, to cross safely, walk on the south
side of Observatory and then cross back on Dora Street to proceed north or south.
Observatory Avenue has no stop signs or crosswalks or other designed or natural traffic calming
measures. There are, three other streets that turn onto or off of Observatory; Alice Street,
Marwen Drive and Albright Place. The major east -west streets that serve the Westside
neighborhoods south of the Mendocino Gardens subdivision from Dora to Helen (almost % of a
mile) are all approximately % mile in length and have fewer streets entering or exiting them
than Observatory, and most have at least one crosswalk.
• Mendocino Drive meanders as a traffic calming measure, and has one school crosswalk.
• Luce Avenue, though wider than Observatory, has only Alice Street entering and exiting
it.
• Washington Avenue is narrower than Observatory and Luce, one street, Marwen Drive,
entering it and three crosswalks to serve the students attending Yokayo Elementary
Observatory Avenue is a busy, well traveled corridor for residents living west of Dora and north
of Observatory in the Westside residential district. Cars tend to accelerate posing a risk,
particularly to children who visit the Park from the private school at the Baptist Church on Alice
and Observatory and the students at UUSD Community Transition Program.
We understand that installing sidewalks on the north side of Observatory Avenue would be
very costly, however we believe that a crosswalk configuration located at Marlow and
Observatory would reduce the problem until sidewalks can be built. I have attached several
photos to document the area we are discussing.
Thank you for your consideration I look forward to working with you to solve this problem and
I'm available to meet you in the field to help you measure and to attend the traffic Commission
meeting on the October 9, 2012.
Please do not hesitate to call me or email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely

CHAPTER 7C. MARKINGS
Page 1281
Section 7C.01 Functions and Limitations
Support:
of Markings have definite and important functions in a proper scheme of school area traffic control. In some
cases, they are used to supplement the regulations or warnings provided by other devices, such as traffic signs or
signals. In other instances, they are used alone and produce results that cannot be obtained by the use of any other
device. In such cases they serve as an effective means of conveying certain regulations, guidance, and warnings
that could not otherwise be made clearly understandable.
02 Pavement markings have some potential limitations. They might be obscured by snow, might not be clearly
visible when wet, and might not be durable when subjected to heavy traffic. In spite of these potential limitations,
they have the advantage, under favorable conditions, of conveying warnings or information to the road user
without diverting attention from the road.
Section 7C.02 Crosswalk Markings `
Standard:
ooa When transverse crosswalk lines are used, they shall be solid white or yellow, marking both edges of the
crosswalk,. except as noted in the Option. Refer to CVC 21368. They shall be not less than 12 inches nor greater than
24 inches in width.
Guidance:
00b If transverse crosswalk lines are used to mark a crosswalk, the gap between the lines should not be less than 6 feet. If
diagonal or longitudinal lines are used without transverse lines to mark a crosswalk, the crosswalk width should not be less
than 6 feet.
ooc Crosswalk lines on both sides of the crosswalk should extend across the full width of pavement or to the edge of the
intersecting crosswalk to discourage diagonal walking between crosswalks.
of Crosswalks should be marked at all intersections on established routes to a school where there is substantial
conflict between motorists, bicyclists, and student movements; where students are encouraged to cross between
intersections; where students would not otherwise recognize the proper place to cross; or where motorists or
bicyclists might not expect students to cross (see Figure 7A -1).
02 Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. An engineering study considering the factors described
in Section 3B.18 should be performed before a marked crosswalk is installed at a location away from a traffic
control signal or an approach controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign.
03 Because non - intersection school crossings are generally unexpected by the road user, warning signs (see
Sections 7B. 11 and 7B. 12) should be installed for all marked school crosswalks at non - intersection locations.
Adequate visibility of students by approaching motorists and of approaching motorists by students should be
provided by parking prohibitions or other appropriate measures.
Support:
04 Section 3B.18 contains provisions regarding the placement and design of crosswalks, and Section 3B..16
contains provisions regarding the placement and design of the stop lines and yield lines that are associated with
them. Provisions regarding the curb markings that can be used to establish parking regulations on the approaches
to crosswalks are contained in Section 3B.23.
Option:
o5 For added visibility, the area of the crosswalk may be marked with white or yellow diagonal lines at a 45- degree angle to
the line of the crosswalk or with white or yellow longitudinal lines parallel to traffic flow. Refer to CVC 21368, When diagonal
or longitudinal lines are used to mark a crosswalk, the transverse crosswalk lines may be omitted.
Guidance:
os The diagonal or longitudinal lines should be 12 to 24 inches wide and spaced 12 to 60 inches apart. The spacing design
should avoid the wheel paths.
Support:
07 Examples of school area signing, markings, flashing beacons and overhead school signs are shown in Figures 713-11 (CA),
76- 5(CA), 713-4 through 713 -6 and Figures 7B- 101(CA) through 713- 104(CA),

Part 7 — Traffic Control for School Areas
California MUTCD 2012 Edition Page 1282
(FHWA's MUTCD 2009 Edition, as amended for use in California)
oa Refer to CVC 2136 for crosswalks near schools.
Standard:
os Whenever a marked pedestrian crosswalk has been established in a roadway contiguous to a school building or
school grounds, it shall be yellow. If any one of the crosswalks is required to be yellow at an intersection, then all
other marked pedestrian crosswalks at that intersection shall also be yellow. Refer to CVC 21368.
Option:
io A marked pedestrian crosswalk may be yellow if the nearest point of the crosswalk is not more than 600 feet from a
school building or school grounds. Refer to CVC 21368.
>> A marked pedestrian crosswalk may be yellow if the nearest point of the crosswalk is not more than 2800 feet from a
school building or school grounds and there are no intervening crosswalks other than those contiguous to the school grounds,
and it appears that the facts and circumstances require special marking for the protection and safety of persons attending the
school, Refer to CVC 21368. .,

Ol xx used, cuc c
GH
02
Support:
03 Section 3B.20 contains provisions regarding other word, symbol, and arrow pavement markings that can be
used to guide, warn, or regulate traffic.
Standard:
oa If used, the SCHOOL pavement marking shown in Figure 7C- 101(CA) shall be used and it shall be restricted to a
single lane.
Guidance:
} 05 On State highways, all letters, numerals, and symbols should be in accordance with the Department of Transportation's
Standard Plans publication. See Section 1A. 11 for more information regarding this publication.
Standard:
os The SLOW SCHOOL XING marking shall be used in accordance with the provisions of CVC 21368 in advance of
all yellow school crosswalks (see Figure 7C-101 (CA)). They shall not be used where the crossing is controlled by
stop signs, traffic signals, or yield signs. They shall be yellow, with the word XING at least 100 feet in advance of the
school crosswalk.
Option:
07 The SCHOOL XING marking and crosswalks may be used at remote locations outside of the school zone.
Support:
oa Remote crosswalk locations are locations near schools, which are not included in CVC 21368 criteria. Also refer to
Section 7C.03.
Standard:
os If the SCHOOL XING marking and crosswalks are used at remote locations outside of the school zone, they shall
not be yellow (Refer to CVC 21368), but white.
Guidance:
to The SCHOOL XING marking should be used in advance of all white school crosswalks.
Option:
11 The SCHOOL marking may be used with the School Assemblies A(CA) or C(CA), except at locations where SLOW
SCHOOL XING markings are required.
Standard:
12 If the SCHOOL marking is used with the School Assemblies A(CA) or C(CA) (See Section 713.11), it shall be
yellow.
Guidance:
131f used, the SCHOOL marking should be located adjacent to the School Assemblies A(CA) or C(CA) (See Section
78.11).
