AUDIENCE COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS Chairman Fernandez read audience comments. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 1 APPROVAL OF MINUTES ON A MOTION by Member Turner, seconded by Member Looney, it was carved by a roll call vote to approve the minutes of September 10, 1996, as submitted. AYES: Members Dewey, Ford, Hams, Looney, Turner and Chairman Fernandez. NOES: None. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: Member Kennedy. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS: NEW BUSINESS c. Traffic Diversion and Calming on Lorraine Street South of Marlene Street Arlene Shipley, 43 Lorraine Street, advised she attended the neighborhood meeting and is not as affected as the other residents. She has no comment at this time, and is attending the meeting to hear the discussion of the Committee. Member Kennedy advised that Rick Seanor, Deputy Director of Public Works, and he meet with the residents at the request of Sylvia Rocha, resident of Lorraine Street, a meeting between Engineering Staff and the residents of Lorraine Street was conducted on September 19, 1996, to afford these residents the opportunity to discuss their safety concerns related to the increase in traffic volume and vehicular speeds on Lorraine Street south of Marlene Street. Mrs. Rocha facilitated the notification of the meeting and it was suggested by the Director that the invitation should be restricted to those residents residing on Lorraine south of Mazlene and on Marlene east of Lorraine in order to facilitate a focused meeting. Subsequent to the extension of Orchazd Avenue to Marlene Street and the construction of Airport Park Boulevard and the Wal-Mart project, Lorraine Street between Marlene and Old Talmage Road (frontage road) has experienced a significant increase in traffic volume as well has vehicular speed. Pre-Orchazd Avenue extension, Pre-Wal-Mart and post Wal-Mart traffic counts were taken in September 1992, August 1993, and June 1994, respectively. Comparison of these counts on Lorraine Street between Marlene Street and Old Talmage Road aze as follows: MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 2 LORRAINE AVERAGE AVERAGE AVERAGE HIGf1EST HIGHEST STREET WEEKDAY WEEKDAY WEEKDAY WEEKDAY WEEKDAY ADT SOUTH ADT NORTH ADT BOTH PEAK PEAK DIRECTIONS VOLUME PER VOLUME PER HOUR SOUTH YOUR NORTH Pre-Orchard 358 355 713 42 48 Extension 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. Pos[-Orchard 594 440 1034 65 46 Extension/Pre- 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. 1:00 - 2:00 Wal-Mart p.m. Pos[ Wal-Mart 1416 314 1730 150 40 12:00 - 1:00 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. p. m. The percent increase in the weekday average daily traffic volume for both directions from the Pre-Orchazd Extension to the Post-Orchard/Pre-Wal-Mart is 45 percent. The percent increase from the Pre-Orchard Extension to Post-Wal-Mart is 142 percent. Pursuant to the Provisions of Condition No. 29 of the Conditions of Approval for the Wal-Mart Store Site Development Permit No. 90-87, "the City shall install traffic diversion measures on Lorraine and Marlene Streets as designed and recommended by the City Engineer if warranted by traffic monitoring studies. After a period of 12 months following the installation of the traffic diversion measures, the City Engineer shall review the traffic loads on the residential neighborhood north of Wal-Mart to determine whether these measures have effectively preserved the quiet residential character of the neighborhood without imposing an undue burden on neighborhood residents. If the City Engineer determines that these measures are not a practical solution to traffic impacts on the neighborhood, the City Engineer shall prepare for the City Council's consideration a resolution establishing an off-site capital improvement fee for the Airport Industrial Park to fund the costs of improving Waugh Lane to act as a collector street to relieve the neighborhood from additional traffic impacts and/or fund costs of providing curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on Betty and Lorraine Streets for safety purposes." Prior to beginning the meeting, the Director presented the before and after Wal-Mart traffic volumes and confirmed that a substantial increase in volume had occurred. The Director also discussed the contents of a petition dated May 24, 1993, and signed by 38 residents. The petition indicated that the petitioners preferred the establishment of a one-way street for east bound traffic on Mazlene Street from Lorraine Street to Orchard Avenue. The petitioners did not desire a barricade at any location. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 3 The following suggestions were presented to and discussed with Staff by those attending the September 19, 1996 meeting. 1. Barricade across Mazlene Street at Orchard Avenue. 2. Make Mazlene a one-way street for east bound traffic from Lorraine to Orchard. 3. Dead end Lorraine Street at Old Talmage Road. 4. Speed bumps on Lorraine from Marlene to Old Talmage Road. 5. Make Betty Street and Lorraine Street aone-way couplet. 6. Installation of 25 M.P.H. speed sign. The Director suggested the following modifications to their ideas and brought forth another measure. 1. Instead of speed bumps, utilize speed humps, constructed at three (3) locations. 2. Consider the removal of the through vehiculaz movement across Talmage to and from the Airport Industrial Park. Left and right turns onto and from Talmage would still be permitted. The Director also suggested that the group concentrate on those measures which would impact them directly and no[ their neighbors on Betty Street and Lorraine north of Marlene. After discussing the measures suggested, the residents were canvassed for each suggestion. 1. Speed humps on Lorraine at three (3) locations 19 votes 2. Marlene one-way east bound 2 votes 3. One-way couplet for Betty and Lorraine 12 votes 4. Left and right turns only at Talmage and Airport Park Boulevard (removal of through movement into and from the Airport Industrial Pazk) 16 votes 5. Barricade south end of Lorraine 12 votes 6. Barricade at Marlene and Orchard 14 votes At the conclusion of the meeting most residents agreed that the Director should present to the Traffic Engineering Committee and City Council for their approval, both the installation of the speed humps (speed control) and the removal of the north/south through movement at Talmage and Airport Pazk Boulevazd for traffic diversion. A petition signed by 47 residents and a letter from Sherri Walker were presented to Staff at the meeting. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 4 Another item to consider in conjunction with the proposed implementation of Measures 1 and 4, is the establishment of a 15 M.P.H. speed zone for Lorraine Street south of Marlene pursuant to the provisions of Section 22358.3, "Decrease on Narrow Street," of the California Vehicle Code. This section provides for the establishment of either a 20 or 15 M.P.H., whichever is found most appropriate, reasonable, and safe, for streets within a residential or business district having a roadway not exceeding 25 feet in width. The Director of Public Works/City Engineer fully supports the implementation of Measure 1 for speed control and Measure 4 for traffic diversion and the establishment of a 15 M.P.H. speed zone on Lorraine. Member Turner advised that he had suggested to the City Manager, prior to the approval of the plan for Wal-Mart, to create a signalized intersection that did not allow traffic or discourage traffic movement through the neighborhood. Speed humps are an experiment in traffic calming in the neighborhood. He stated that he supports the recommendation. Member Kennedy advised speed humps aze 12 foot wide and have been used in other cities and appeaz to be successful. Speed humps aze, but not yet, an official traffic control device and are being installed as an experimental item. Speed humps aze designed and constructed where 15 or 20 m.p.h. speed would be safe. Chairman Fernandez asked about liability to the City. Member Kennedy responded speed humps are not recommended for collectors of were speeds are much higher, however, are recommended for local/residential roads for 25 m.p.h. and lower. The road is flat and will have no drainage problems. Member Dewey commented this may open the installation of speed humps throughout the City. Member Kennedy responded the General Plan amendment implementing a Residential Traffic Management Program, similaz to the one adopted in Boulder, Colorado, the citizens participated financially in the installation of speed humps and required certain criteria. Member Kennedy also advised the majority of the residents realize the speed humps will create an inconvenience to the neighborhood and are willing to have the inconvenience to slow down traffic. The residents have expressed a concern about their safety, and are unable to walk in their neighborhood due to the increased vehicular speed. Candace Horsley, City Manager, advised the residents within this area will have to use Waugh Lane or the freeway to get to Wal-Mart and Friedman Brothers. She expressed a concern if Lorraine is closed to through vehicles will be making U-Turns and possibly creating vehicular accidents. Member Kennedy responded the residents are willing to have to travel to Waugh Lane, State Street or the freeway to ge[ to Wal-Mart and Freidman Brothers. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 5 Member Ford expressed a concern with the closure of Lorraine and 1,400 vehicles using this intersection there will be an increase of vehicles making U-Turns. He noted that Waugh Lane and Talmage Road narrows from two-way traffic to one-way traffic near the bridge. Member Kennedy advised there is a Public Hearing scheduled for October 16, 1996. The residents of Betty Street, Lorraine Street, residents south and north of Marlene, Marlene, and possibly Copper Lane will be notified of the Public Hearing. Member Dewey expressed by closing through traffic may create a high speed accident, because there are vehicles traveling the overpass at an excess of 45 m.p.h. He questioned if there could be a two-way couplet on Betty and Lorraine Streets. Member Kennedy responded Betty Street is no longer connected to the old Talmage Road. Member Ford advised there are several businesses (Triple S and Staz Delta) near the intersection of Talmage Road and Loraine that will be affected with [he closure of Lorraine Street. Member Looney commented if all three diversions were implemented at the same time the installation of appropriate signage, speed humps, and diverting the north/south flow of traffic, may restrict traffic movement with this area. A lengthy discussion followed regarding there is currently vehicle stacking on the old frontage road to Lorraine Street; the traffic signal will accommodate the changes; the possibility of diverting traffic from Lorraine Street to Betty Street; the left and center lane will be left-turn only, the outside lane will be right-turn only, the street will be restripped, there will be left and right-turn arrows on the pavement, and a NO THROUGH TRAFFIC sign will be posted on the overhang; and the green signal will be modified for the left and right-hand turns, a disconnection in some of the loops, and possibly an island constructed of concrete curbing to prevent vehicles traveling through. ON A MOTION by Member Kenndey, seconded by Member Turner, that the Traffic Engineering Committee make a recommendation to the City Council that 3 measures be adopted to accomplish traffic diversion and traffic calming for Lorraine Street, between Marlene and North Talmage Road. (1) Speed humps on Lorraine Street at 3 locations; the removal of through traffic movement at the intersection of Airport Park Boulevard and Talmage Road allowing left and right turns only from and to Talmage; and the implementation of a 15 m.p.h. speed zone for this portion of Lorraine Street in accordance with Section 22358.3 of the Vehicle Code. AYES: Members Kennedy Looney, and Turner. NOES: Members Dewey, Ford, and Chairman Fernandez. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 6 Member Horsley stated she is in agreement that the traffic should be diverted from the residential areas, however, expressed a concern for the impact on traffic, vehicles making U- Turns, and the impact on the businesses located on Talmage Road. Member Ford advised that the businesses on Talmage should be notified of the Public Hearing. ON A MOTION by Member Turner, seconded by Member Kennedy, it was carved by an all AYE vote, that the Traffic Diversion and Calming on Lorraine Street, south of Marlene Street, and the recommendation from the City Engineer be forwarded to the City Council to take action at the Public Hearing scheduled for October 19,1996, due to the Traffic Engineering Committee counld not reach a consensus; and that the residents that are potentially impacted be notified of the Public Hearing and sent a letter with background information. Member Dewey advised he liked the speed humps and the 15 m.p.h., and stated he is opposed of the intersection changes due to effective and consistent police enforcement and creating dangers, and that the traffic will be diverted to Betty Street creating the same problems. Member Ford stated he is opposed to the closure on Talmage, and will create traffic problems and U-turns. b. Discussion of Proposed Two-Way Left Turn Lane for South State Street from Mill Street to Hastings Avenue -Steve Turner. MTA Member Kennedy advised a Public Hearing has been scheduled for October 16, 1996, and all businesses have been notified. The Hazard Elimination Safety project application was submitted in October 1995 and has been approved. The project is funded 90 percent by Caltrans and includes funding for engineering design. The project would construct atwo-way left turn lane on South Sate Street from Mill Street to Hastings Avenue by either restriping or remarking. The project would include short transitions into the two way left turn lanes north of Mill Street and south of Hastings Avenue. The purpose of the project is to provide safer turning movements at mid-block commercial driveways and intersections. Through initial project design it has been determined that South State Street has insufficient width to allow both the two-way left-turn and curbside parking. A no parking zone will be required on both sides of South State Street from 200 feet north of Mill Street to 250 feet south of Hastings Avenue/Washington Avenue. MTA at the present time has 10 bus stops located within the project limits. Funds for bus turn outs have not been identified in the project. Member Turner stated he reviewed the SWITERS report for 1995 and compared the accident volume on Gobbi Street between State and Orchard with the accident volume on State Street north Mill and south of Hastings Avenue. In 1995 there were 13 accidents on Gobbi Street, 5 of those accidents were rear-end accidents. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 7 On a section included in the project of South State Street, there were 48 total accidents in 1995, 8 of those accidents were rear-end accidents due to unsafe speed or vehicles making left-turn and struck by another vehicle failing to yield the right-of--way. Approximately 20 percent of the accidents within the proposed area are rear-end accidents. Vehicles involved in the accidents were entering State Street between Gobbi and Frietas, south of Frietas, the intersection of Cherryand State Street, and the intersection of Washington and South State Street. Member Turner expressed a concern for the removal of bus stops on State Street. The potential restriping will leave a 12 foot wide continuous center left-turn lane, the inside lanes will be 10 feet wide, and the outside lanes will be 14 - 16 feet wide, leaving 2 - 3 feet of non-traveled surface on the outside lane. He is opposed [o bus stops in a travel lane due to the speed limit of 30 - 35 m.p.h., the liability for MTA and the City for rear-end accidents from buses stopping in the travel lane. MTA has 20 bus trips per day, one-way, travelling on State Street that would affect 50 - 100 passengers per day. The stops would have to be illimentated or create bus pull- outs at a cost of approximately $20,000 each. The removal of on-street parking on State Street will allow vehicle speed to increase, discourage bicycle traffic and pedistrian traffic, the elimination of loading zones, reduction in bike safety, businesses will be impacted by the removal of on-street parking on State Street, and parked cars are barriers between vehicles and pedistrians. There are several references in the General Plan to increasing access to public transportation, bike and pedistrian alternatives to automobile travel, and the elimination of transit stops. Member Kennedy advised he has received comments from citizens on the inability to use either lane for continuous traffic movement on State Street due to right and left-turn traffic from State Street without continuously stopping. He advised the H.E.S.F. (Hazard Elimination Safety Funding) is a two year cycle program and this is the last cycle of the Federal Highway Bill. Staff applied for funding and the project was approved, and Caltrans has committed 125 percent funding. Staff performed a 3-year review of the traffic accident data and prepared a safety index calculation sheet and forwarded to Caltrans. He stated that he does not know at this time if a modification can be made to the original application and still receive Hazard Elimination Safety Funding. Bruce Richard, General Manager of MTA, questioned is a two-way left turn lane a safer alternative, and does the approved application specify two-way lanes as one of the measures. Member Kennedy responded yes, and atwo-way left lane can reduce rear-end collisions. Member Kennedy advised a Traffic Study done by TKM in 1978 recommended atwo-way left turn lane. Member Ford advised left turn pockets may create side swiping due to the in/out of the left hand lane. Bruce Richard advised the General Plan has a number of policies and implementation measures MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 8 that suggest implementing this project. There aze other measures that support the alternative. He commented the two-way left turn lane may reduce traffic and create a freeway on State Street. He stated there is an alternative solution to the problem, and would like to see if it is feasible to change State Street to left-turn pockets at selected intersections. Tighe Boyle, Greyhound Bus Line, stated cleft-turn lane may have some value for Greyhound, however, will have the same problems as MTA, and would no longer make State Street viable for bus stops. Currently State Street is the best location for bus stops because it is centally located. Member Turner stated he would be like to work with Member Kennedy on any solutions to help MTA preserve transit access given the limitation with the funding source. Member Turner left the meeting at 4:30 p.m. Discussion followed regazding the continuous left-turn of vehicles from South State Street into Foster Freeze, Ukiah Valley Lumber, and Wells Fazgo; on-street pazking for Ukiah Saw Shop, Motorsports and Beverly's Fabrics; and Class 3 for bicycles are consider part of vehicle traffic, a Class 2 requires a sepazate lane. ON A MOTION by Member Looney, seconded by Member Kennedy, the Traffic Engineering Committee recommends to the City Council to move forward with the two-way left turn lane for South State Street from Mill Street to Hastings Avenue as proposed. AYES: Members Kennedy, Looney, Ford, Horlsey and Chairman Fernandez. NOES: Bruce Richazd for Member Turner. ABSENT: None. ABSTAIN: None. Member Dewey left the meeting at 4:40 p.m. a. Discussion and Recommendation on Access and Traffic Circulation for Ukiah Transit Center -Bruce Richard. MTA Bruce Richard, General Manager, MTA, stated a Steering Committee has been comprised of the City of Ukiah, Chamber of Commerce, County, transits, and other interested community members for the purpose of creating a master plan for the future development of the nearly twelve acre site at the Ukiah rail station. The North Coast Railroad Authority is the new ownership of both the rail and adjacent lands. The master plan is to include housing, restaurants, bed and breakfast inns, shops, and a centralized tourist information center. The major problem of the project is access to the site, and the only clear access appears to be Perkins Street. There are railroad tracks on the westerly edge that takes up 60 - 70 feet, and MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 9 a creek is located easterly of the Perkins Street. There aze two alternatives, extending Clay Street across the tracks or the Leslie/Hospital Drive intersection. The Redevelopment Strategy Plan calls for realignment of Leslie Street west to connect with Hospital Drive thereby creating one signalized intersection. The realignment of Leslie Street would create ideal street access for the Transit Center with a protected left-turn capability for buses and vehicles traveling west from Highway 101. However, this realignment may create congestion for turning movements into the Transit Center. Abridge would need to be built over the creek to protect the creek. Member Ford commented the Transit Center will increase traffic on Perkins Street creating traffic to use alternative routes in residential areas. The north south traffic would increase and stated he would like to see the traffic converted to Orchazd Avenue. Member Kennedy stated Leslie Street is the right connection because it is located midway between State Street and the freeway. The access needs to be between the freeway and State Street. The site should be developed as a transportation center for Greyhound, MTA, and Anytime Taxi. He also expressed a concern that the Clay Street extension may increase traffic to Peach Street, and for the annual maintenance of the traffic signal. Discussion followed regazding the access to the project, Leslie Street has a very narrow frontage and is landlocked along Leslie; the short-term access is Perkins Street; an option is the re- alignment of anew access between Hospital Drive and dead-ending into Leslie Street with traffic signalization on Leslie Street; will need a controlled intersection for the buses; the Clay Street extension would increase connections to the downtwon azea; development of through traffic on Orchard Avenue may create increased traffic in the residential areas; NCRA and the PUC is opposed to at-grade crossings; NCRA requires the passenger platform to be 800 feet long; and surrounding properties and Gibson Creek cut off access to the property. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion of Traffic Circles to be used as Traffic Calming Devices for Clara Avenue and Ford Street -Donna Roberts and Eric Larsen Donna Roberts stated there are modifications to the pilot project proposed for the neighborhood, and believe these modifications will address some of the safety and visibility issues expressed by the Traffic Engineering Committee. The neighborhood committee has 3 different designs, in addition to the original curb type design for each of the 3 locations. These designs reflect terms of cost and aesthetics. All 3 designs provide a higher visual profile to attract the drivers attention. Each design is movable and portable. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 10 With the assistance of the Public Works and Public Safety personnel, we will conduct "before" and "after" surveys of traffic volumes and average "high" and 85th percentile speeds and traffic calmed intersection and mid-block segments. Design No. 1 is a grouping of 3 to 8 lazge reinforced concrete planters. Proposed location is Myron and Ford Street. The planters will have landscape plantings, to be maintained by the neighborhood, will be arranged in the center of the intersection in a circle roughly the same diameter as the originally proposed 12 foot concrete curb ring, and will be 24 - 30 inches in height. The design will contain reflectors, landscaping, and signage. Design No. 2 is pre-cast retaining block wall. Proposed location is Claza and Sidnie Street. Interlocking stone faced block segments approximately 6" x 12", will be arranged to forma 12 foot diameter circle approximately 18 - 20 inches in height tapering back approximately 6 inches at the top. The ring will be filled with moisture retentive material and top soil mounded to approximately 24 - 30 inches in height with landscaping. The design will contain reflectors, landscaping, and signage as the concrete planters. This design has the ability to be expanded and contracted by removing or adding blocks, and is less susceptible to vandalism or other damage. Design No. 3 is a lazge diameter heavy equipment fire casing. Proposed location is Sidnie and Ford Street. The concept is to acquire a lazge diameter fire casing 8 to 10 feet in diameter, and modify it by cutting away one wall and turning it inside out, to look something like the fire planters used in some home gardens. The fire casing will be painted white and possibly have a colorful mural painted around [he outside. The office of Empire Waste in Petaluma is very interested in this design and has agreed to provide the tire. The design will contain reflectors, landscaping, and signage as the concrete planters. This design is not easily modified in terms of size and shape. The cos[ for this project will be incurred by the residents. We aze asking the Traffic Engineering Committee to approve the installation of these temporary traffic circles for these sites under the supervision of the Public Works and Public Safety Departments. Discussion followed regarding the landscaping for the circles and fire should be placed in planter pots, because the dirt may stain the road, and the process study will take 6 months. ON A MOTION by Member Kennedy, seconded by Member Looney, it was carried by an all AYE vote, that the Traffic Engineering Committee amend the former recommendation and approve the proposed design by the Wagensellers Traffic Calming Committee. The circles are to be temporary, landscaping is to be implemented and in-lieu of filling these devices with dirt, to be ballasted and landscaped in planters placed in the ballast. The proposals aze temporary measures and the neighborhood is to monitor the "before" and "after" results for approximately 6 to 8 months. The Traffic Calming Committee is to assist the City on this project for that period of time until such time the circles aze become permanent. MINUTES OF THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING COMMITTEE October 8, 1996 Page 11 b. Discussion and Consideration of One Passenger Loading Zone Space at Evergreen Nursery. 430 North Oak Street. and One Passenger Loading Zone Space on North Oak Street for AODP Office -Rick Seanor Member Kennedy advised the applicants aze requesting a passenger loading zone. Discussion followed that the applicant originally requested 20-minute parking; the applicants will lose on-street pazking spaces; from the corner of Henry Street, going north, there is a 50 foot red curb and fire hydrant; a loading zone can be used for the loading/unloading of passengers or deleveries; yellow striping is for commercial loading zone and white striping is a passenger loading zone; and the proposed striping and businesses aze located neaz a residential area. ON A MOTION by Member Kennedy, seconded by Member Ford, it was carried by an all AYE vote, that the Traffic Engineering Committee approve the request for one passenger loading zone space at Evergreen Nursery, 430 North Oak Street, and one passenger loading zone space on North Oak Street for the AODP Office. The Public Works Department is to ask the applicants if they want a passenger only loading zone or a passenger/commercial unloading zone, and paint the curb appropriately. COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS Member Ford stated he is resigning from the Traffic Engineering Committee and will submit a written notice of resignation to the City Manager.
