The RBC is a non- .profit event which benefits a number of charities and the local business communities. This year's race will be held on March 16, 2001. As part of the event, a "point to point" race is held between Redlands and Oak Glen, a portion of which passes through the City of Grand Terrace. The Redlands Bicycle Classic Committee is requesting a Special Events Permit from the City and is requesting that the City waive applicable fees. The race presents a minimal use of City resources. The event uses a "rolling enclosure" which is contained by California Highway Patrol motorcycle units which coordinate all traffic control issues. All City intersections are temporarily stopped as the racers pass through the City, which takes approximately 3 minutes. In the past, no major incidents have occurred. The RBC, provides indemnification and insurance for the City and is generally a very cooperative organization to work with! Staff is recommending approval. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council 1. Approve a Special Events Permit for the 2001 Redlands Bicycle Classic; and 2. Waive Special Events Fees regarding this event; and 3. Authorize the City Clerk to obtain the necessary Indemnification and Insurance Information from the Redlands Bicycle Committee and to process a Letter of Approval. FISCAL EUPACT: None by this Action. /50 COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM N ® G CI Tr f 0 GRAND TERR C Community and Economic.Development Department 21 5Y• 2�n T•A I - - ,r r x CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: FEBRRARY 8, 2001 FUNDING REQUIRED: NO FUNDING REQUIRED : XXX LOCATION: 22735 DeBerry Street at Richard Rollins Park APPLICANT: AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. via Tacit Communications SUBJECT: Lease Agreement with AT & T Wireless Services Inc. for the lease of property and the installation of a wireless telecommunication antenna, stealth designed into a flagpole RECOMMENDATION: Review and Approval of Lease Agreement Background/Proposal AT&T Digital Broadband is currently building a fixed wireless network in Southern California. Fixed wireless is a new radio technology developed by AT&T that is aimed at providing internet services to stationary users. This service will provide home and home based businesses alternatives to DSL and second, phone lines to residents, enhancing voice, fax and internet access communications. While Adelphia evaluates our fiber optic system and works to make product available, Tacit Communications will provide options. "With AT&T Digital Broadband, customers have the opportunity to subscribe to high-speed internet service,•voice access to local,.long distance and international calling and the flexibility to easily add phone lines (up to four lines available).* Standard features with each voiceline include: Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Three- way Calling. (More features are-available for additional charge.)" * Requires equipment installation at the home. 22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92313- I`Mt4 AQgN®A ITEM NO.- Project Description Tacit Communications, representing AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., applied for a permit to construct a wireless communication facility consisting of a 60 foot high flag pole with integral antennas, ground equipment shelter building and trash enclosure at Richard Rollins Park. Tacit Communications, previously evaluated the Azure Hills Tower, other provider's towers and utility poles in the City for purposes of co-location. They concluded the only and best option was to construct a separate antenna. When proposed antennas are "stealth" designed, they are reviewed via an Administrative Site and Architecture process per our Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance No. , - 171. The Applicant proposes to lease approximately 200 square feet at Richard Rollins Park for $1,200.00, per month. Staff has approved plans subject to Conditions of Approval and subject to City Council approval of the Lease Agreement. Please review the attached Lease Agreement. The Applicant will attend the meeting to answer any questions, as necessary. The following items are provided for the information of the City Council: Safety Issues During the review process, notices were sent and we received input from a few neighbors. Issues raised were evaluated and letters were sent. Please refer to letters sent—Attachment B. The main concern expressed was related to potential radiation emitted by the facility. Staff has studied the issue thoroughly with the help of the applicant. This new technology is a safe and low power form of wireless communication. "The radio frequencies used by AT&T Digital Broadband are the frequencies currently used for AT&T's Digital PCS systems. These are the same frequencies used for years by public safety agencies and utilities. As with existing wireless services, the systems operate at power levels hundreds of times lower than what current federal safety standards allow. The systems comply with the radio frequency (RF) safety rules established by the FCC in August 1996. These rules are among the most restrictive in the world, combining elements from both the 1992 American-National Standards Institute (ANSI) RF safety guidelines. The FCC RF emission rules have been reviewed and accepted by all of the federal agencies charged with protection of public health, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH);" The exposure to microwaves from the subject facility is less than that of a cordless phone or microwave oven. Several technical reports have been submitted to support this statement. These documents are available at CEDD and include: - Health and Safety Standards for Wireless Communication Facilities - Questions and Answers from the FCC -AT&T Digital Broadband Questions and Answers Aesthetic Issues The Applicant was very cooperative and prepared plans that meet all location and design criteria of our City Codes and specific standards of our Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Ordinance. Please refer to excerpt of plans and photo simulation of the facility, noticing that the location of the trash enclosure has changed4,since photo simulation was prepared.

GRAND TER R c Community and Economic Development Department January 18, 2001 Mr. & Mrs. Pritikin 12310 Whistler St. Grand Terrace, CA 92313 SUBJECT: CITY'S APPROVAL OF REQUEST BY AT & T WIRELESS TO CONSTRUCT A COMMUNICATION FACILITY CONSISTING OF A 60 FOOT HIGH FLAG POLE WITH ATTACHED ANTENNAS,GROUND EQUIPMENT SHELTER BUILDING AND TRASH ENCLOSURE AT THE RICHARD ROLLINS PARK AT 22735 DE BERRY STREET IN THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE(SA-00-12 & E-00-13) Dear Mr. & Mrs. Pritikin: After completing its review of the application by AT&T Wireless Services for a wireless communication facility in Richard Rollins Park,the City of Grand Terrace has approved the application for a 60 foot high flag pole with integral antennas,a ground equipment building and trash enclosure,and will be entering into a long-term lease for the facility on City land. The proposed flagpole and ground equipment building will look very much like the attached color photograph,which shows how the flagpole antenna and building will look. This facility will be used for wireless"Internet"communication and will add to the communication resources available to the citizens of Grand Terrace. We greatly appreciate the comments and concerns made by many of you regarding this proposal. As you can see, the proposed facility will be designed to look like a flagpole for the park with no visible antennas. Conditions of approval have been imposed requiring that the flagpole will be illuminated at night with ground-mounted lighting. Also,the flag shall be inspected at least every six months to insure that it is in good condition. The proposed facility will be located towards the middle of the park and so separated from the existing structures in the park that community events and rallies can be held around the flagpole. Lastly, some of you were concerned over the question of electromagnetic radiation that could come from such a facility. Detailed analyses have been conducted on this technology, encompassing national and international standards within-the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation. Examples of these reports are on file at City Hall and will be made available at the Planning Counter. This radio technology will have power emissions lower than the cordless phones or microwave ovens currently in use in many homes today. Furthermore, AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. is required to comply with all mandatory State and Federal standards on a permanent and ongoing basis. Please feel free to call me at 430-2247 should you have any questions.

This essentially includes obtaining the necessary training and passing an established examination through the National Parks and Recreation Association(NRPA) and the National Playground Safety Institute (NPSI). The City of Grand Terrace falls under these inspection requirements. f Staff has investigated the costs of having these inspections done via a consultant. The estimated costs range between $500 and $700 per playground for a total estimated annual cost of$2,000 to $2,800 annually. Staff is seeking authorization and funding to attend the March 14-16, 2001 certification course and exam in Sacramento, California. Total costs will include Course and Exam-$535.00, Mileage-$69.00 and Meals-$50.00 Total costs will be $654.00. Lodging will be at no cost (staying with family). This recommendation is being made as a cost savings measure. Inspections are required annually (by,a certified inspector), thus having a certified staff member will result in a significant annual cost savings. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council 1. Authorize the attendance of the Assistant City Manager at the 2001 National Playground Safety Institute; 2. Appropriate funds in the amount of$654 to the 10-180-270 (Travel Meetings Conferences. FISCAL UVIPACT: Cost of$654 by this action. Annual savings in Year 1 of$1,346 and $2,000 annually thereafter.

Respectfully Submitted, 414�L Hannah Laister Secretary i COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO ' I CA CITY RAND TER Community Services Department Staff Report COUNCIL ITEM (XX) MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 8, 2001 SUBJECT: NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CALMING PROGRAM: POLICY AND PROCEDURES NO FUNDING REQUIRED BACKGROUND: In June, 2000, the City of Grand Terrace addressed concerns expressed by residents on Brentwood St. who were concerned regarding traffic issues along their street. Specifically, residents requested options to slow through traffic on the street. Over the course of approximately 3 months, Staff held a variety of meetings with the residents and worked with our contract.traffic engineer to develop options for slowing the traffic. .` The result of the.efforts was the installation of speed humps and Stop signs on the street. During the approval process, the Council requested that Staff bring a formal policy and process for Traffic Calming at the January 25, 2001 meeting. DISCUSSION: During the Brentwood St. Project, Staff and the City Council essentially worked without established guidelines or policies to guide it in the deliberations on the issue. Concerns expressed and discovered during the process included: • What criteria would be used by the City to determine the viability of implementing traffic calming measures on a street. • What is:the process which would be utilized for residents to request traffic calming in their neighborhood. How will the requests be submitted and who will review the requests? • What justifications will be made to warrant the installation or implementation of traffic calming measures? COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO® P�5 Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program Agenda Report- February 8, 2001 Page 2 of 2 • Who will pay for the studies and any improvements which will be implemented in a neighborhood? As the City Council found, the installation of the speed humps on Brentwood St. cost approximately $20,000 which was not previously_included in the Capital Budget for the City. Also, a considerable amount of Staff and consulting engineer time was incurred during the process. Recommendations for Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming In order to proceed with a more structured process of reviewing requests from the public regarding traffic issues, it is recommended that the City establish the following: 1. Traffic Committee: This would include the appointment of a citizens committee to review a combination of traffic issues (accidents, studies, etc) and requests from neighborhoods for Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming measures. 2. Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Policy: This would establish qualifying criteria, a process for requesting measures, petition requirements and an established review process for neighborhoods. 3. Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program: A-handbook which outlines the City's philosophies and options for traffic calming,. These recommendations will serve as the foundation for our traffic calming program. Typically, this area will also be included in the City's Capital Improvement Program and conform with the General Plan's Circulation Element. The following is an overview of how the Policy will be implemented. Options available under the proposed Policy The City's Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program offers 29 different options which are divided into four categories to reflect the levels of cost and restrictiveness to traffic flow. Levels 1 and 2, which do not involve physical changes to the street, can be implemented by the City and include such items as deploying the radar speed trailer to allow drivers to monitor their traffic speeds, directed, Sheriff enforcement or posting signs restricting commercial vehicles from using the street. Levels 3.and 4 require making physical change to the street using such devices as road narrowing or turn restriction medians. Neighborhood.Traffic Management and Calming Program Agenda Report February 8, 2001 Page 3 of 3 What kind of qualifying criteria does a city street have to meet to be covered by the City's Policy Requests for traffic calming measures will be considered if all of the following criteria are met: ■ The street must be primarily residential in nature with volumes equal to or r exceeding 800 vehicles per day.. ■ Public Safety Agencies do not have any major public safety concerns with the proposed changes. ■ The traffic flow modifications will not result in unreasonable liability exposure for the City. ■ Significant amounts of traffic will not be diverted to other:residential streets. ■ The requested action is authorized by legislative authority_in State law. How would the Neighborhood Traffic Management process work The following process will be used by the City to address neighborhood traffic concerns: ■ A resident alerts the City about a problem area that specifically involves speeding or cut-through traffic. ■- The City provides information to the resident on the options available and asks the resident to complete and return the Neighborhood Action Request Form". The form must.include a written description of the location of concern and requires signatures from at least seven separate residents per block of the impacted street(s). What will the City do to address the problem Once a Neighborhood Action Request form is returned, a neighborhood meeting may be scheduled to identify the concerns and issues. The item would be refered to the Traffic Committee and the City may prepare an existing condition traffic analysis. If requested by residents, Level 1 or Level 2 Traffic Calming options such as deploying the radar speed trailer or providing increased Sheriff enforcement will be quickly implemented by the City to address traffic concerns. If the Level 1 or.Level 2 options are not adequate after being in-place for at least six months, the City will conduct additional studies to determine whether further Level 3 or 4 measures such as speed humps or diverters are appropriate. This will include consulting the Sheriff and Fire Departments to determine if the street Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program Agenda Report February 8, 2001 Page 4 of 4 is critical to emergency vehicle response and, therefore, not eligible for certain options. Support by at least two thirds of the affected residents must be demonstrated through a petition process for Level 3 or Level 4 measures to be implemented. The measures will be installed using temporary materials at City expense for a trial period of six months when appropriate environmental clearances have been obtained. After the trial period, residents may elect to have the Level 3 or 4 devices removed or made permanent at their expense if there is continued support by a two-thirds majority of the residents. This can be accomplished by hiring a qualified consultant to prepare design plans and an approved contractor to install the measures under an encroachment permit from the City. If a two- thirds majority of the residents elect to have the Level 3 or 4 devices installed permanently, but decide later on that the devices are not desirable, an encroachment permit will be issued to have the devices removed by an approved contractor at their own expense. What Procedures Must Be Followed to Submit a Petition The following procedures must be used for submitting a petition to the City to demonstrate support for Level 3 or 4 measures involving physical changes: r , ■ The technical feasibility of the proposed neighborhood traffic management and calming measures must be analyzed by the City. This review will include items such as conformance to State law, the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, the type of street involved, compliance with engineering regulations, existing traffic conditions, projected traffic conditions and the potential for traffic diversion to adjacent streets. , ■ The boundary of the area affected by the proposed changes must be identified by the City. The affected area will include, but not be limited to, those properties whose normal travel routes to and from the "affected area"are to be altered by the neighborhood traffic management and calming measures, and/or properties which are significantly impacted by traffic that is to be diverted. ■ Petitions submitted to the City must include a statement that all.persons signing the petition acknowledge it is the City's policy that they will be responsible for all costs directly associated with the construction of permanent neighborhood traffic management and calming measures. This is necessary to facilitate the funding of the ultimate improvements needed Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program Agenda Report February•8, 2001 Page 5 of 5 to permanently install the traffic flow modifications. The petition.language must also clearly explain, and show on a drawing, the location, and exact nature of proposed changes. The petition language and attached drawing must be reviewed by the City's Traffic Committee prior to circulation to ensure its accuracy and ability to be understood. ■ The petition must be supported by at least two-thirds of the total number of citizens affected by the proposed changes in traffic flow. The citizens �r should include property owners, tenants, business owners within the "affected area" who might be significantly affected by the proposed measure. Persons submitting petitions must demonstrate that they have contacted at least 90 percent of all affected persons who may need to use the street(s) on a daily basis. Program Handbook: Also prepared is the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program Handbook which will be used as an informational tool in presenting options to the public. This will serve as a policy guide in deliberating options by the Traffic Committee and for use by individual neighborhoods. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1. Authorize the establishment of a Traffic Committee and direct Staff to present a resolution including goals, duties and membership; 2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF'THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CALMING PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTIAL PUBLIC STREETS 3. Approve the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program Handbook for use by Staff in informing residents regarding the City's Program and Policy. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is recommending that a Traffic Calming Budget be included in the FY 2001- 02 Capital Improvement Program Budget. RESOLUTION NO. 2001- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CALMING PROGRAM FOR RESIDENTIAL PUBLIC STREETS BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace as follows: STATE LAW The State of California has preempted the field of traffic control (see section 21 of the Vehicle Code), and no local authority is allowed to enact or enforce any ordinance on the matters covered by the Vehicle Code unless expressly authorized by statute. It is the policy of the State that all persons have an equal right to use the streets and highways,and localities have no carte blanche and,absent express authority, may not determine which traffic shall and which shall not use streets. Based upon this policy, in the absence of specific State legislative authority to the contrary, a city may not restrict the right to travel upon one of its streets to its residents or to other exempted drivers. Some examples in the Vehicle Code of such specific authority to regulate travel upon streets are: if the City Council determines the street is no longer needed for vehicular traffic [§ 21101(a)]; if needed to implement the Circulation Element of a General Plan [§ 21101(f)]; if due to criminal activity (§ 21101.4); regulating or prohibiting processions or assemblages [21100(a)]; and on streets dividing school grounds to protect students attending such school or school grounds. When a local agency decides to utilize the express delegation of such authority, the local agency may only utilize "official traffic control devices" authorized by the Vehicle Code Section 21400. Additionally, local authonties may not place gates or other selective devices on any street which deny or restrict the access of certain members of the public to the street,while permitting others unrestricted access to the street. PURPOSE OF POLICY Consistent with State law and policy, it is the general policy of the City to not allow temporary or permanent closure of any public street to vehicular traffic. Requests for implementation of Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming measures on a public street will be considered, however, based on a petition which meets all the criteria and procedures outlined herein.The City will carefully review each request to ensure that the proposed location and attending circumstances meet all the criteria outlined in this policy and in State law. The purpose of this policy is to set forth the process and criteria by which implementation of Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming measures public streets may be considered. The policy also identifies the conditions under which such measures may be enacted. This policy only applies to requests initiated by citizens. This policy will not apply to measures on public streets initiated by the City Council to address specific traffic safety issues or to comply with State and Federal standards and warrants. The goal of the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming program is to enhance and protect the quality of life in the City's neighborhoods by making them more safe for children, pedestrians,and residents living in these neighborhoods. NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND CALMING MEASURES Neighborhood traffic management calming measures covered by this policy include all "official traffic control devices" authorized by the California Vehicle Code. Some of the methods authorized in particular circumstances might include traffic islands, curbs, traffic barriers, or other roadway design features, removing or relocating traffic signals and one-way traffic flow. QUALIFYING CRITERIA Requests for the implementation of neighborhood management and calming measures on public streets will be considered by the City for those streets meeting all of the following criteria: a. The street should be primarily residential in nature. 1 b. Volumes are approximately equal to or exceed 800 vehicles per day c. Public Safety Agencies have not provided sufficient evidence of any major public safety concerns regarding the neighborhood traffic management and calming measures. d. The changes in traffic flow will not result in unreasonable liability exposure for the City. e. The requested action is authorized by legislative authority in State law. f. The changes in traffic flow will not divert significant amounts of traffic to other residential streets. NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROCESS The following process will be used by the City to address neighborhood traffic concerns: a. A resident alerts the City to a problem area. If the problem specifically involves speeding or cut-through traffic,the complaint is processed through the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program. b. If a neighborhood meeting is requested, the City provides information to the resident as to the options available under the City's Program. The City instructs the resident to complete and return the Neighborhood Action Request Form. The form requests a written description of the location of concern and requires signatures from seven separate residents per block of the impacted street(s). c. If the form is returned, the City schedules a neighborhood meeting to identify the concerns and issues. It is anticipated that a traffic engineer from the City's Community Services Department, members of the Traffic Committee as well as a uniformed Sheriffs Deputy will attend the meeting. d. The City may prepare an existing condition traffic analysis. Level 1 or Level 2 Traffic calming options may be recommended by City staff to the residents living on the streets that have submitted Neighborhood Action Request forms at a follow-up neighborhood meeting. e. If the Level 1 or Level 2 options are not adequate after being in-place for an appropriate amount of time, the City may conduct after studies to determine whether further Level 3 or 4 measures are appropriate. This will include consulting the Sheriff and Fire Departments to determine if the street is critical to emergency vehicle response and, therefore, not eligible for certain options. f. If area wide support is demonstrated through a petition process,the City will implement Level 3 or Level 4 measures using temporary materials at City expense for a trial period of 180 days after appropriate environmental clearances have been obtained. This will also require support of all residents in the immediate vicinity of the devices. At the end of the trial period, residents may select to have the Level 3 or 4 devices removed or made permanent. g. If residents elect to have the Level 3 or 4 devices installed permanently, they may be required to hire a qualified consultant to•prepare design plans, and hire a contractor to install the measures permanently within 180 days under a City encroachment permit at their expense. If residents fail to complete permanent installation within 180 days, the City has the option to remove the temporary measures at the City's expense. h. If the residents elect to have the Level 3 or 4 devices installed permanently, but decide later on that the devices are not desirable, an encroachment permit will be issued by the City to allow them to have the devices removed by an approved contractor at their expense. PETITION REQUIREMENTS The following procedures must be followed for submitting a petition for Level 3 or Level 4 measures to the City: 2 a. The City Traffic Engineer will recommend and examine the technical feasibility and anticipated impacts of the proposed neighborhood traffic management and calming measures. This review will include items such as State law, the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, the type of road or street involved, compliance with engineering regulations, existing traffic conditions, projected traffic conditions, the potential for traffic diversion to adjacent streets, impacts to emergency vehicle response times and the increased liability exposure for the City or conflicts with future planned improvements. b. The City Traffic Engineer will determine the boundary of the"affected area" to be petitioned. The affected area will include but not be limited to those properties where normal travel routes to and from the "affected area" are to be altered by the neighborhood traffic management and calming measures, and/or properties which are significantly impacted by traffic that is to be diverted. c. The petition requesting the neighborhood traffic management and calming measures must be supported by a minimum of 67 percent of the total number of citizens affected by the proposed changes in traffic flow, as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. The citizens should include property owners, tenants, business owners within the "affected area" who might be significantly affected by the proposed measure. Persons submitting petitions must attempt to contact all affected parties. At a minimum, 90 percent of all affected persons who may need to use the street(s)on a daily basis must be contacted for the petition to be accepted by the City. This requirement will be satisfied by signatures from 90 percent of the affected parties indicating support or non-support for the neighborhood traffic management and calming measures. d. At a minimum, petitions submitted to the City for review must include the following unless otherwise waived by the City Council: • A statement that all persons signing the petition acknowledge it is the City's policy that they will be responsible for all costs directly associated with the construction of permanent neighborhood traffic management and calming measures in order to facilitate the funding of the ultimate improvements needed to implement the street closure or traffic flow modifications. • The petition language must also clearly explain, and show on a drawing or plan, the location,and the nature of the proposed traffic flow modifications. • The petition language and attached drawing must be reviewed and approved by the City Traffic Engineer prior to circulation to ensure its accuracy and ability to be clearly understood. A sample petition has been provided as an attachment to this policy. PETITION REVIEW PROCESS The following process will be used to review all petitions associated with a proposed neighborhood traffic management and calming measures: a. The City Traffic Engineer will review any petition to verify compliance with all petition requirements set forth above. Any petition not complying with these requirements,will.not be accepted for consideration. If the petition contains all of the required information under this policy, a letter will be sent out by the City to all who signed the petition, affected property owners, tenants, and business owners requesting verification of their support or opposition to the proposed neighborhood traffic management and calming measures by signing a signature sheet that is included in the letter. b. If the petition contains all of the required information under this policy,'the proposed neighborhood traffic management calming measures will be referred to all affected public agencies in conjunction with the environmental review process.At a minimum, these agencies 3 will include all City Departments, the local office of the California Highway Patrol, County Sheriff and Fire Departments, all affected local utility companies,Colton Joint Unified School District, the local office of California Department of Traffic and any other agencies affected by the traffic flow modification. c. If the petition contains all of the required information under this policy and can be properly verified, the City will proceed with implementing 'the Level 3 or Level 4 traffic flow modifications. SECTION 3:The City Council has the sole discretion,subject to all applicable laws,to approve,modify,continue or deny any traffic flow changes request regardless of any support or lack thereof via the petition process.

Subdivisions are now designed to avoid long straight stretches of streets in new residential areas. Long stretches of streets encourage higher speeds. Existing residential streets with long stretches of more than 1,000 ` feet are consistently complaining of higher speeds. Residential streets carrying volumes of more than 1,000 vehicles per day are generally considered unacceptable to adjacent residents. This report presents a Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Program aimed at making existing residential streets more livable by reducing traffic speeds and volumes. Traffic Calming for Livable Neighborhoods Traffic calming is the combination of both policies and measures that help decrease the negative impacts to local streets and neighborhoods caused by motor vehicles.Although traffic calming techniques did not begin to be readily implemented in the United States until the 1980's,there are many examples that already exist. In Europe and Australia,some of these same techniques have been used long before the 1970's.Many of the successful techniques used there are into their second and third generation.Their effectiveness has been proven and many appear to be part { i of the original street design rather than as an afterthought. I i Traffic calming techniques were developed to reduce speeding problems and heavy traffic flow on residential streets. By making some residential streets more"calm" it makes the neighborhood more livable.Although"livable" i in terms.of a neighborhood does not have a precise definition,a livable neighborhood can be described as having the i following characteristics: • Ability to feel safe and secure, • Opportunity to interact with neighbors, • Ability to experience a sense of home and privacy,and • A sense of community identification. In essence,when a citizen calls to request a stop sign to slow traffic on their street,they are requesting the city make their street more livable. Because no single answer for the problem of speeding vehicles on residential streets exists,many different traffic calming techniques have been developed. These techniques range from the traditional,such as radar display boards and selective Sheriff enforcement to non-traditional such as street chokers and roundabouts. A discussion of all the techniques is found on the following pages.A major component of introducing traffic calming techniques is a comprehensive citizen education/participation campaign. A citizen education/participation campaign encourages the neighborhood to take responsibility for the solution too. Experience has shown that a majority of the speeding violations in the residential area are from residents who live in the neighborhood. Neighborhood Traffic Management Options A summary of available neighborhood traffic management options is provided in Attachment 2.The information in Attachment 3 provides a brief description of the positive and negative effects of implementing each option.The options presented have been chosen for their impact on speeds and volumes on residential streets.Although some of the options could be used on non-residential streets,the focus of the traffic calming program is on local residential streets.The options have been structured into four levels. Level 1 is the least restrictive,while Level 4 is the most restrictive.The overall objectives for the Neighborhood Traffic Management program are: i i City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 3 of 3 1. Improving neighborhood livability by mitigating the impact of vehicular traffic on residential neighborhoods. 2. Promotion of safe and pleasant conditions for motorists,bicyclists,pedestrians and residents on neighborhood streets; 3. Encouraging citizen involvement and effort in neighborhood traffic management activities; j 4. Making efficient use of City resources by prioritizing traffic management requests;and 5. Supporting the Comprehensive Plan policy that livability and safety of established residential f neighborhoods be protected in transportation operations. i Levels of Traffic Calming Measures: The types and extent of traffic calming measures can vary dramatically. Some require as little as a public meeting and information;yet some require significant engineering and reconstruction of City streets.The following is a designation of the various levels outlined in this handbook. i Level 1: Level l: , i • Neighborhood Meeting • Posting 25 MPH Limits • Sheriff Enforcement • Radar Trailer Deployment i • Sheriff Presence • Commercial Vehicle Restrictions Level 3: Level 4: i • Stop Sign Reversal • Chokers • Speed Humps • Gateways • Rumble Strips • Intersection Channelization • Narrowing Lanes • Median Barrier • Neckdowns j • Raised Intersections • Roundabout • Serpentine i • Single Lane Slow Points • Turn Restrictions Using Delineators • Cul-de-sac • Diagonal Diverters Detailed descriptions, including the positive and negative aspects of these options is discussed later in this i handbook. i i Current City Practices i The City currently undertakes most of the techniques described as Levels 1 and 2 actions.Neighborhood meetings, speed studies,volume studies,other traffic observations and provides enforcement should be enhanced. Additionally,all roadway signing and striping are reviewed and modifications or additions made as necessary. The i Maintenance Division routinely deploys its radar speed trailer on streets where vehicle speeds have been reported as a problem. In some instances the trailer does not appear particularly effective in reducing driver's speeds.However, in other instances speed reductions are clearly noted. In almost all instances the speed trailer deployment is i supported by the concerned residents because of a real or perceived decrease in speeds or by educating the residents City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 4 of 4 i to the fact that speeds are not as high as had been perceived.Overall,the City's current Levels 1 and 2 efforts are comparable to what is found in most similar communities. I Proposed Neighborhood Traffic Management Process Traffic calming techniques work best when incorporated into a"traffic calming"or"neighborhood traffic management program."Successful programs include the planning process,overall community participation and local authority support. Because residents are the main initiators of traffic calming requests,they need to be part of the process as much as possible.By developing a program early on that addresses neighborhood traffic safety concerns on an area wide basis,it encourages citizens to become actively involved in the improvement process. In this way,the City and the neighborhood can work together to create more livable neighborhoods.City staff would use the Neighborhood Traffic Management and Calming Process proposed in Attachment 1 to address citizens concerns. IMPACTS OF TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES Before the City decides to pursue Levels 3 and 4 traffic calming options, it is important that the impacts be carefully considered. While Levels 3 and 4 options can be successful,they can also result in problems more significant than the original concern.This section of the report will describe the possible impacts of Levels 3 and 4 traffic calming tools. In most instances,the benefits are quite obvious and predictable while the disadvantages can be much more unexpected.Consequently,a greater emphasis has been placed on the potential problems so that decisions can be made in a more fully informed manner. Effectiveness of Traffic Calming Devices Physical actions such as the installation of speed humps,traffic circles,street closures,etc.are almost always successful in forcing traffic to behave in an intended fashion. In certain situations,they can achieve the desired result by utilizing a one-time capital expenditure and generally low ongoing maintenance costs. Levels 3 and 4 traffic calming actions are generally viewed as much more "permanent"solutions than Levels 1 and 2 actions. In most instances the alternative approach to the desired result involves repetitive and costly ongoing Levels 1 and 2 traffic calming actions.There are significant potential benefits to utilizing Levels 3 and 4 traffic calming actions I which is why some communities have implemented Levels 3 and 4 actions and many other communities are exploring their possible use. Effect on Emergency Vehicles Response Times Any traffic calming tool that might be effective because it physically controls traffic generally has a much more negative impact on several classes of emergency vehicles.The City,as well as its residents and businesses,place a very high priority on minimizing emergency response times. Installation of most physical traffic calming tools can significantly worsen emergency response time.This is especially true for fire apparatus and ambulances.Because of the heavy weight of fire engines and the delicate instruments and patients within ambulances,these vehicles must almost come to a complete stop when they encounter a bump,dip or sharp curve.Creating bumps,dips and sharp curves is often precisely the objective being sought by many of the traffic calming tools. While these maneuvers will cause moderate discomfort and delay for normal passenger vehicles,they cause a much greater problem for emergency response vehicles.Attachment 4 provides information on recent studies that have been done to qualify the effect of traffic calming devices on emergency response time. These studies show the following average delays to emergency vehicles for certain types of devices: TYPE OF DEVICE AMBULANCES FIRE TRUCKS Each Speed Hump 2.3-9.7 seconds 3-5 seconds Each Traffic Circle Not Available 1.3-10.7 seconds i City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page S of S The Fire Department is concerned about the affect these devices have on response times and has requested initial review of all proposed changes involving Level 3 and 4 options with the ability to veto any changes affecting critical access streets. This impact will have to be addressed for each area for which Level 3 and 4 traffic calming options are requested. Traffic Diversion Another concern is that in many instances implementing traffic calming devices would be likely to move the problem rather than solve the problem. In most instances the placing of impediments on a particular neighborhood street may merely divert some of all of that traffic to other neighborhood streets. Impacts to Transit and Utility Vehicles Some of the traffic calming options in Levels 3 and 4 could potentially have severe impacts on bus routes and utility vehicles such as trash trucks. Providers of these services will have to be consulted whenever neighborhoods select Level 3 and 4 options. Considerations for Other Roadway Users In addition to the safety concerns already discussed in this report, Levels 3 and 4 traffic calming actions can often have unintended negative safety impacts on certain roadway users.They can result in worsening the situation for a range of roadway users such as bicyclists,roller skaters,skate boarders,joggers,pedestrians and parked cars. Noise Impacts The noise impact to adjacent residents resulting from vehicles braking, going over and around traffic calming devices can have a major impact on the acceptability of these devices by residents living closest to them.The unanimous support of residents living immediately adjacent to locations where physical changes are proposed will be essential to the success of any project. Loss of Parking It is often necessary to prohibit on-street parking in the immediate vicinity of the intersection in order to accommodate the realigned vehicle path.There are also significant on street parking impacts from several options in Levels 3 and 4. Liability Exposure Implications Many Level 3 and 4 traffic calming actions can also result in varying degrees of liability exposure to the City.The most likely source of increased liability exposure would be that resulting from City implementation of traffic calming action.This exposure would probably stem from two general categories of negative impacts.The first would be liability which might arise from the negative impact to emergency vehicle response times. Delay of emergency response could result in a civil action by an injured party from allegations that the emergency vehicle response was delayed by traffic calming devices. It is also possible that traffic calming devices themselves might result in damage or injury.Certainly if a traffic calming device were not properly designed with all appropriate lighting,signing and pavement markings, liability exposure could result. But there is also potential liability from properly designed and installed traffic calming actions. If the device itself causes driver behavior which results in damage to property or injury,the City could potentially be held liable. For instance, if a driver maneuvered in order to avoid a traffic calming device and as a result struck a parked car,pedestrian,cyclist,etc.,there is the potential for City liability exposure.Agencies have been held liable for not maintaining warning signs and markings in excellent condition.These are just a few examples of the potential,unintended,but known negative impacts of traffic calming devices. City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 6 of 6 Visual Impacts and Aesthetic Concerns While some traffic calming devices can have favorable aesthetic impacts,others can be,by their nature,unsightly. Devices such as speed humps and diverters most often pose no opportunity for the incorporation of aesthetics and can have negative visual impacts. Virtually all Level 3 and 4 traffic calming actions require reflective devices,signs and striping which may negatively effect the aesthetics of a neighborhood. Increased Maintenance Costs Street maintenance costs will increase in two areas. Landscaping associated with such devices as trffic circles, chokers and slow points will require regular maintenance.Devices such as speed humps will have to be reinstalled each time a residential street is overlayed which will increase costs by$20,000 per mile. r I City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 7 of 7 ATTACHMENT 1 RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH MULTIPLE SPEEDING COMPLAINTS AND/OR TRAFFIC VOLUME CONCERNS RESIDENTIAL STREETS WITH MULTIPLE SPEEDING COMPLAINTS AND/OR TRAFFIC VOLUME CONCERNS DeBerry St. Van Buren St. Pico St. Barton Rd.

Higher visibility crosswalks would only be used at uncontrolled crosswalks. Some cities have tried using large "dot" markers _ r (similar to the ones found on the internal crosswalks at the Factory Stores)or reflectorized pavement markers. At this time staff is not recommending either technique be used on residential streets. Positive Aspects: • Indicates to pedestrians an acceptable or preferred crossing location. • More visible to drivers then traditional crosswalks. Negative Aspects: • Pedestrians may place too high a level of reliance on the ability of a crosswalk to control driver behavior. • More maintenance required than with traditional crosswalks. Neighborhood Meeting Description:Hold a neighborhood meeting at a time and location convenient for residents to attend and express their concerns.The meeting would be used to clearly identify the issues of concern. Positive Aspects: • Clearly identifies issues of concern. Allows all residents to air their views. • Establishes clear lines of communication between City staff and residents. Negative Aspects: • Meetings have to be focused on specific issues and not allowed to become a forum to address all the City's problems. 0 Potentially time consuming if meetings are repetitious. City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 10 of 10 I Sheriff Enforcement Description:The Sheriffs Department deploys traffic officers to perform radar enforcement on residential streets for at least two hours a day.A priority list would be provided to the Sheriff Department each week based on citizen { '± requests. Positive Aspects: • Visible enforcement would reduce speed. • Driver awareness about speeding on residential streets and safety is increased. • Program is flexible and can be tailored to suit the citizens' needs. • Response can be quick and effective Negative Aspects: • Long-term benefits of speed reduction are unsubstantiated without regular periodic enforcement. Sheriff Presence Description: Position a Sheriff vehicle on the street as a visible aspect of enforcement to discourage speeding. Positive Aspects: • Shows an enforcement presence. • May help to show vehicle speeds. Negative Aspects: • Residents may quickly realize that the presence of the vehicle does not result in speeding citations. • Sheriff Department resources will be needed to deploy vehicles. Posting 25 mph Speed Limits/Radar Warnings Description: This option involves posting 25 mph speed limit or radar warning signs on the �r ti - street to regulate the speed of traffic. Costs are typically$200 per sign installation if a pole has ��` to be erected. rt 0.k0aa Positive Aspects: 1. :Tn7CT I=_nraPCzA-UTI' • Low cost installation that are popular with residents. • Reduces traffic speeds if backed up with regular enforcement. Negative Aspects: j • High potential for violation when not enforced. • Increases cost of sign maintenance. I i I City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 11 of 11 Radar Trailer Description:A portable radar speed meter capable of measuring vehicle speed graphically and displaying the speed of the motorist. f ` Positive Aspects: • Speeds may be reduced during short intervals where the radar trailer is located. • An effective public relations and educational tool. Negative Aspects: • Not an enforcement tool. • Not effective on multi-lane roadways that have significant traffic volumes. In these cases there is limited ability to differentiate between more than one approaching vehicle. Rumble Strips . Description:Dots are glued to the pavement to create a strip that causes the vehicle to rumble as it traverses through them,This causes vehicles to slow L=L1: down.Each installation costs less than$500 for two,approaches. ,H - Positive Aspects: _-•.. L=3 b • Vehicles are slowed down by 5 mph. ,, — — • Driver's attention is alerted to heighten safety. U L • Low cost installation than can easily be removed or changed. J Negative Aspects: • Very high level of noise pollution for adjacent residents. • High maintenance is required to reattach dots to the pavement. Narrowing Lanes _ Description: Striping is used to create narrow 1`0 feet wide lanes.This gives drivers the feel of a narrow street that does not lend itself to high speeds.The �• I cost vary depending on the length of street,but are not anticipated to exceed - �.� r_'•�F,;�_ $3,000 per mile. Positive Aspects: • Changes can be quickly implemented. • The striping can be easily modified if paint is used. • Seed may decrease and Sir.•�� L••� -.x,:r,� P Y safety is improved through the provision J ^��,!" , of positive guidance to drivers. - �__ Negative Aspects: • Would increase regular maintenance. , • Residents do not always perceive striping is an effective tool for speed reduction. • Cost of resurfacing residential streets will increase. ar • City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 12 of 12 PROHIBITED Commercial Vehicle Restrictions fVehicles Transporting Tra&h Description:After the adoption of appropriate resolution by the City Council, or Recycled Materials post commercial vehicle restrictions on signs and enforce the restrictions. !Sshoanled K.L.ups t%=pceA) Positive Aspects: Trailers,and Tandem Wltec!Tnteks • Restricts commercial vehicles using the street. • Reduces traffic noise speed and volumes.

Neighborhood Monitoring Program Description:A hand-held radar gun is made available,with instructions provided by city staff,to neighborhoods to determine the amount of — speeding and to determine who is speeding in the neighborhood.For ORD— - ; example,a resident or group of residents meets with City staff in the �'. neighborhood and instructions are given to the use of the radar gun.The �- resident then spends several hours registering the speed of cars passing on 'Z=_.- the street.The residents have a first hand account of whom the speeders M4•• ^�,K ;:.:,,:�.+. are and how fast they are going. Positive Aspects: • Effect on speeders is limited to within sight distance of the radar gun. • May have long-term effects as neighbors become more aware of who is speeding and interact with each other in social settings. • Speeds may be reduced during short intervals when the radar gun is in use. • An effect public relations and educational tool. • Neighbors feel they are part of the solution. Negative Aspects: • Not an enforcement tool • Not effective on multi-lane roadways that have significant traffic volumes. In these cases there is limited ability to differentiate between more than one approaching vehicles. City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 13 of 13 Stop Sign Reversal -1 . Description: Two stop signs are placed at all four legged intersections in the City. The signs are placed on the lower volume approaches. If the volumes are balanced; A. -•� the stop sign locations could be switched to stop the other street.The cost for switching stop signs would be less than$500. - — Positive,Aspects: r 1 ' • Change can be easily made. • Traffic speed may be reduced in the vicinity of the stopped approaches. Negative Aspects: • The speeds may increase on the"unstopped approaches. • There is high potential for violation of stops unless enforced periodically. • Not always favorable to residents immediately adjacent to new stop sign locations. • Potential for rear end accidents is increased in the short term. Chokers t Description:Narrowing of a street at an intersection,mid-block or a segment of a street in order to reduce width of the traveled-way by construction of a wider sidewalk or landscape strip. Positive Aspects: '' "" - -- - -- • Slight slowing is normally the result. • Shorter pedestrian crossing distances and better motorist- pedestrian visibility of each other. • Creates added streetscape area for pedestrians and/or landscaping • Can discourage truck entry. • Allows signs to be placed closer to driver's cone of vision. Negative Aspects: • Potential obstacle for motorist to run into. • May impede bicycle mobility and safety. • May result in loss of curbside parking. • Can impede legitimate truck movements. • May require reworking of surface drainage. Gateways �rt Description: A special entrance feature, similar to a choker, that narrows a street at the intersection in / _ ..I�-- _ ' • yr._ =•�r order to reduce width of the traveled-way. This is not a gate. Chokers are usually located within the block or at 4. i intersections. Gateways are considered more dramatic -- and provide identity to a neighborhood. The exact configuration of the gateway treatment will depend Jr—Yr j n -7. f City of Grand Terrace Traffic Calming Manual Page 14 of 14 upon the location of the gateway, i.e., conflicts with driveways. Medians can also be added to street to slow turning movements and enhance the street.

Negative Aspects: • Landscaping and signing/striping maintenance will be required. y i r • parking will occur. Loss of on-streetp g Median Barrier Description: A physical barrier on a non-local street which can effectively eliminate left turns from that non-local street onto a local street, and eliminate local street straight-through and left turn traffic across the non-local street. A median barrier can take many forms, ranging from a closely-spaced row of flexible delineator posts to a series of pre-cast curb sections-affixed to the pavement to a temporarily-placed but immovable 3' high concrete barrier (K-Rail) to an asphalt/concrete curbed island with or without a decorative landscaping and surface treatment. Costs vary widely among those options. This device is also known as a"worm." A full median with no breaks can also be used to prohibit all left turns. Positive Aspects: • Makes the intersection more safe by reducing the number of conflicting movements. • Reduces local street volumes. • Negates the possible need for future expensive traffic signal Negative Aspects: • The physical barrier may shift traffic to other locations where left-turn opportunities exist. • This tool may inconvenience local residents who will be forced to drive longer more circuitous paths to reach their destination.
