It also includes full construction of Commerce Way from existing terminus to Main Street. After these improvements are completed, the City's planned circulation system roadways, excluding 1-215, are forecasted to operate at LOS C, or better to build out. Mount Vernon Avenue, north of Barton Road continues to be classified as a four4ane Secondary Highway as traffic model warrants However, the City is concerned that this roadway improvement may not be cost-effective and that altemabve solutions should be considered The appropriate classification of Mount Vernon Avenue may require further study The segment of Mount Vernon Avenue, north of Grand Terrace Road to Gage Canal structure, is shared with the City of Colton, where it is designated as a two-lane roadway In 19W, the North -South Corridor Study was completed with the purpose of developing a circulation plan which would improve access between the Moreno Valley area and sties in the San Bernardino East Valley area One of the study's recommendations is to improve Pigeon Pass Road to a four lane arterial If this improvement is constructed it will cause a significant increase of regional traffic on Grand Terrace streets Mitigation to the congestion caused by this additional traffic would need to be provided on at least one of the fallowing routes 7 Response: This issue was addressed i RUpdate of the City of Grand Terrace. General Plan Circulation Element Memorandum No 4, 1-216 Freeway Access Analysis' Access alternatives were reviewed which have been identified in previous studies It was found that the most cost-effective way to improve freeway access for Grand Terrace is via the La Cadenanowa interchange instead of a new connection to the 1-215 Freeway, as this new connection would not significantly mitigate negative impacts of regional traffic To improve access via this interchange, the City should work with SANBAG, Caltrans, and Colton to ensure that Iowa is widened to four lanes, north of Main Street. In addition, the intersection of Iowa at Main Street should be improved to provide adequate capacity for future traffic demand, including the high -volume of large truck traffic anticipated at this intersection See Objective 1, Implementing Acton 5 3) Additional arterial capacity to serve the City's Industrial area Response: This issue was also addressed in the 1-215 Freeway Access Analysis Memorandum No 4, which recommended to provide Commerce Way as the primary street to provide access to the City's industrial area, in order to allow Michigan to continue as a residential collector south of DeBerry 4) Multi -modal facilities including interconnection with regional transit facilities, such as Metrolink, local shuttles, and bikeways and pedestrian faalfies. _J Response: This issue is addressed under Objective 3, Implementing Actions 2, 5, 6and 7 T 5) Shared circulation system improvements with the City of Colton including La Cadena Drive, Main Street, Mount Vernon Avenue, Westwood Street and the intersection of Main Street at Iowa Response: This issue is addressed under Objective 1, Implementing Actions 5, 6 6) Consideration of a traffic impact fee to be charged to new development to fund construction of improvements to keep the Master Plan circulation system operating at LOS C, or better Response: This issue is',addressed under Objective 5, Implementing Actions 5 and 7 7) Traffic safety, especially in the vicinity of schools Response: This issue is addressed under Objective 2, Implementing Actions 2, 4, and Objective 3, Implementing Action 8 ) 4 2 Commerce Way will serve the business and light industnal areas as they continue to develop and will provide a link,'* the freeway interchange at Iowa Avenue via Main Street 3 The street cross -sections presented in this element will serve as the Cdy's street standards to which all streets should ultimately be constructed 4 If recommendations of the North -South Comdor Study are ever adopted, the City should ensure that the project sponsors provide mitigation to traffic impacts on City streets These improvements will be needed to maintain City LOS standards, and most impartantly, protect our residential neighborhoods from through traffic 5 As part of the development of the 1-215 widening, and reconstruction of the La CadenaVowa interchange, the City should work with SANBAG, Caltrans and the City of Colton to ensure that Iowa Avenue is widened to four lanes, north of Main Street In addition, the intersection of Iowa Avenue at Main Street should be improved to provide adequate capacity for future traffic demand, including the high -volume of large truck traffic anticipated at this intemecbon The Barton Road overpass should also be widened to four lanes 6 Most of existing Mount Vernon Avenue between Grand Terrace Road and 1-215 interchange is within the City of Cotton consisting of two lanes built into the side of a hill The use and projected traffic volumes indicate additional capacity on this road segment may be needed Widening to Secondary Highway standards may not be cost effective to resolve a LOS issue, as other attematives may work However, widening of this road may be seen in a different perspective d the Pigeon Pass Comdor is improved Future construction should be based on a detailed cost/benefit analysis and geotechnical studies 6 r '0' ,f &7 "f �tti(4i4e City of Grand Terrace Master Plan of Streets and Highways Figure A Notes ` 1 North side, only South side is in Riverside County 2 Raised median from Vivienda Avenue to Mt.

The Grand Terrace circulation element shows La Codena Drive as a Modified Major Highway with a right of way of 120 feet and an outside curb to curb width of 94 feet 6) A traffic impact fee to be chargo to new development to fund construction of improvements to keep the circulation system at operating at Service Levels C or better Note For the fee to be legally enforceable, it must only cover the circulation S 7 AS �SS Zhu Issue Identification Page 3 program to fund circulation improvements, in accordance with the legal provisions of AB 1600 This law requires that them be a 'n9xus basis' for any fee charged to new development The total cost of improvements Neil include the cost of travel way and right of way for additional travel lanes to complete the Circulation Element, signalization on intersections of artenals, and keeway access as identified in the recommended alternative A fair share cost of these improvements will be estimated that can be assigned to new development in Grand Terrace A fee Nell be recommended based on trip generation characteristics of new development t Typically, retail commercial development has the highest trip generation characteristics of any category of land use This can result in a fee program that is excessively weighted against this category which would be detrimental to the City's interest to increase retail sales tax revenue TEP has experience dealing with this fee program issue, and will recommend a legally defensible fee program that does not weigh excessively against retail commercial development Updated Circulation Element Once the technical work outlined above is completed, the existing Circulation Element will be rewritten as warranted Specific, Additional topics to be addressed include Multi modal facilities such as interconnection with regional transit facilities, local shuttles, bikeways Shared circulation issues with the city of Colton including La Cadena Drive, and Mount Vernon Avenue Following completion of the draft updated Circulation Element, it will be submitted for review by General Plan Update Task to review and comment on the draft Following receipt of input on the draft, the Updated Circulation Element will be finalized, and submitted for approval by Cdy Courxul Most of the MPSH has been completed. However, the following are segments of the MPSH remain to be completed: 1 Barton Road from S. P. R. R. to the northbound on- and off -ramps for SR 215, add two lanes to complete as a Major Highway. 2. Barton Road from the northbound on- and off -ramps of SR 215 to Palm Avenue, add two lanes to complete as a Modified Major Highway. 3 Barton Road from Honey Hill Drive to northeast City limit, add two lanes to complete as a Major Highway. 4. Commerce Way from Michigan Street to Main Street, add four lanes to complete as a Secondary Highway. 5. Michigan Street from Barton Road to Commerce Way, add four lanes to complete as a Modified Major Highway. y 6 Michigan Street from Commerce Way to DeBerry Street, add two lanes to complete as a Secondary Highway. 7 Mount Vernon Avenue from Canal Street to northeast City limits, add two lanes to complete as a Secondary Highway 8. Mount Vernon Avenue from DeBerry Street to Main Street, add two lanes to complete as a Secondary Highway. LOS ANALYSIS Figure B shows the traffic flow data which was used to evaluate existing traffic conditions of completed segments of the MPSH Several data sources were used and described as follows 2 A statistical analysis was performed to determine if the SBEVTM data can be considered to accurately reflect existing conditions. This analysis is summarized on Table A and graphically represented c i Figure C. The analysis is based on a comparison of traffic counts with assignments from the S8EVTM for 17 segments within the City's circulation system. The most important measure of correlation of the traffic model assignments with traffic counts is the correlation coefficient. Table A shows that there is a correlation coefficient of .90. This means that there is a very high degree of correlation and therefore the model should be considered at a valid tool for ' evaluation existing and future conditions in Grand Terrace. LOS Definition LOS is a criteria used to describe the quality of traffic flow. LOS is graded from A through F. LOS A indicates free flowing uncongested traffic flow while LOS F indicates gridlock. Table B describes the range of LOS conditions A through F. LOS is most frequently measured for the peak hours of traffic flow. In most developed areas there is usually a peak hour in the morning and a second peak hour in the afternoon. Sometimes in commercial areas there is a third peak hour of traffic flow at midday. Estimated LOS The ADT data shown on Figure B cannot be used to directly measure LOS, however the ADT data can be used to infer LOS conditions. Table C is used to infer LOS conditions based on ADTs. This table shows threshold volumes for LOS conditions A through F. 4 A. ti 21 c� Barton Rd. ® rz 1 1 i 1 ® De Berry St. - - ------- -------- Van Bunn St. Pico St. ■ a� ■ ■ Brentwood St ■ • cIL rc Palm Ave. SkN MIMIN Freeway ■ ■ ■ ■ 104er IIIIIIIIIIII H °.y"�'d r No dary, Higpiway Main St. MASTER PLAN OF STREETS FIGURE „w■1�■1■■■ AND HIGHWAYS A Grand Terrace Circulation Element Update Count Assignment Correlation 18 18 14 12 % c 10 , 6 4 2 0 5 10 15 Count A Figure C t ! v TABLE B LEVEL OF SERVICE DESCRIVi IJNS GRAND TERRACE CIRCULATION ELEMENT UPDATE EXISTING MNn1T1nN_QeNe1 vmQ VIC Ran 90 LOS Traffic Flow Conditions A Free flow Individual users are virtually unaffected by the presence 0 00 -0 60 of others in the traffic stream Freedom to select desired speeds and to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely high The general level of comfort i nce provided to the motorist, passeB ger, or an sdeconvenience cell Stable flow, but the presence of other users in the traffic stream begins to be noticeable Freedom 0.61 - 0 70 to select desired speeds is relatively unaffected, but there is a slight decline in the freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream from LOS A The level of comfort and convenience provided is somewhat less than at LOS A because the presence of others in the traffic stream begins to affeR individual behavior C Stable flow, but marks the beginning of the range of flow in which the operation of individual users becomes significantly affected by 071 - 0 80 interactions with others in the traffic stream The selection of speed is affected by the presence of others, and maneuvering within the traffic stream requires substantial vigilance on the part of the user The general level of comfort and convenience declines noticeably at this level D Rgh-density, but stable, flow Speed and freedom to maneuver are 081 - to 0 90 severely restricted, and the dnver or pedestrian experiences a generally poor level of comfort and convenience Small increases in traffic flow will generally cause operational problems at this level E Operating conditions at or near the capacity level All speeds are reduced fo a low but relatively 091 .100 uniform value Freedom to maneuver within the traffic stream is extremely difficult, and it is generally accomplished by forcing a vehicle or pedestrian to 'give way' to accommodate such maneuvers Comfort and convenience levels are extremely poor, and driver or pedestrian frustration is generally high Operations at this level are usually unstable, because sma11- increases in flow or minor perturbations within the traffic stream will cause breakdowns F Level -of -Service F Forced or breakdown flow This condition exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the >1 00 amount which can traverse the point QuCxjes form behind such locations Arrival flow exceeds dischar flow Level � 1�/pe o Service orn _I MR Hinhwau 7-2nw- 7A. m /wrflw w _� �....��-....,......y ..w..w�, 1 1 a1 wFnw wuw 1 r[pCdlGFl DWru Transportation Englneering and Planning Phone 714 552-4357 Craig 8.

Vernon Options to mitigate this system deficiency can include 1) widen the segment to six lanes, 2) addition I turn lanes at intersection bottlenecks, and 3) the redirection; of through traffic from Mt. Vernon to Michigan Street or Main Street by means of operational modifications such as signal prioritization Currently, the property on both sides of this segment is developed, therefore, a full widening to sic lanes is not recommended The SBEVTM identifies another system deficiency on 1-215. The SBEVTM indicates that the segments in the Grand Terrace Sphere of Influence will operate at LOS F This deficiency is pnmanly due to regionally generated through traffic Regional agencies including SANBAG or Caltrans should be responsible for their mitigation 1215 has also been identified as deficient in SANBAG's Comprehensive Transportation Plan, and as part of the ongoing of transportation planning process mitigation strategies will be identified I-2151INDUSTRIAL ZONE ACCESS The primary industrial zone in the City of Grand Terrace is located south of Van Buren a and west of Michigan Currently, the primary route of freeway access to this industrial zone is via Michigan and Commerce Way to Barton Road The City has recommended an. additional connector to 1215 which would provide more direct access for traffic generated in the industrial zone In the SBEVTM, this connector is shown as a segment connecting Commerce Way north of Pico Street to the 1-215 interchange at La Cadena This connector would divert traffic from Michigan Street, Commerce Way and Barton Road Figure B shows the arterial and interchange configuration conceptually represented in the SBEVTM Year 2015 network It includes the reconfiguration of the La CadenaVowa interchange as proposed as part of the 1-215 widening project Figure B also shows ADT forecasts from the SBEVTMM for the network in the vicinity of 1-215 7 Direct connection to the 1-215 interchange at La CadenaVowa would facilitate remediation of an incompatibility of the City's existing Land Use and Circulation -Elements Ti ie City's Land Use Element shows low density residential development a*cent to Michigan Street and adjacent to Pico Street, west of Michigan Street If direct access to 1-215 is provided via La CadenaVown interchange, the City would be capable of restricting through truck traffic from using Michigan and Pico Streets while retaining adequate truck access to the industnal zone The SBEVTM shows there would be adequate capacity at the La CadenaVowa and Barton interchanges in the Year 2015 It is assumed that all on and off ramps will be constructed with a single lane only ROADS SHARED WITH COLTON Grand Terrace's existing Circulation Element shows four roadways that are shared with the City of Colton.

The City's General Plan Task Force and City Council have identified a need for this analysis because of concerns about access to the Cdy's primary industrial zone and the in need to ensure adequate freeway ramp capacity to the 1-215 in future years The purpose of this memorandum is to address the following 1) summarize the major plans and studies that have been generated to date which address 1-215 access to the City of Grand Terrace, 2) to develop an additional apt that builds upon previous studies and which addresses the City's interest of providing a direct connection from the La Cadenallowa interchange at 1-215 to the Cdy's primary ir>dustnal zone, 3) to analyze traffic impacts and construction costs for the provision of 1-215 access, and 4) identify impacts if Commerce Way is not extended to Main St. PREVIOUS STUDIES Although 1-215 access to the City of Grand Terrace has been extensively studied since the mid-19Ws there are three recent studies that are most relevant to this issue These are the following 1 The I--215 PrQledy Report (PSR) which was prepared for the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) with input from the San Bernardino Associated 1 n In addition, the PSR proposes to WVthen the High grove Railroad over crossing to acoorrxnodate the widening of 1-215 The proposed reconstruction of the La CadenaAowa interchange at 1-21 a as identified in the PSR would be incompatible wn' i the concept of providing an arterial extension from the interchange to Commerce Way As part of their review of the draft PSR, City staff requested an additional connector to I- 215 In response, the PSR sponsoring agencies proposed to improve the intersection of Main Street at Iowa to improve traffic flow to the La CadenaAowa interchange The City staff request for consideration of an extension from this interchange to Commerce Way was considered out of scope of the PSR by the PSR sponsoring agencies GRAND TERRACE TRAFFIC MITIGATION ANALYSIS This report by Fluor Daniel was prepared in response to concerns of the City of Grand Terrace Namely the following 1 Traft impacts on Grand Terrace artenals due to improvements that were proposed in the North/South Corridor Study This study called for widening of Pigeon Pass Road which would cause an increase in traffic on these artenals 2 The City's interest to have direct access to 1-215 for its primary industrial area The major findings of this report are as follows 1 To deal with North/South Comdor impacts, the report considered realignment of Main Street to be it into Iowa at a point closer to the 1-215 interchange The alignment that was studied would have impacted Me Southern California Edison Substation, a railroad crossing, a motel and several other businesses The report concludes that this realignment would be less beneficial than planned improvements to Main Street on its existing alignment per the 1-215 PSR. 2 The report identified several constraints which would impede the extension of Commerce Way to the La Cadena/lowa interchange at 1-215 These include the k3 REFINED DIRECT ACCESS SCENARIO Tha Fluor Darnel study identified two altE natures that would facilitate the construction of arterial extension from the Le Cadenallowe Interchange to Commerce Way One of these was determined to be more feasible and was refined as part of this General Plan Update Analysis This scenano is shown as Figures 1A and 1 B This scenario entails the construction of a Type L-7 interchange with a northbound loop on -ramp The existing aligrxiient of Iowa Avenue at the interchange would be pulled to the east to facilitate reconstruction of the northbound on- and off -ramp Due to the realignment of Iowa Avenue, the existing open channel east of the interchange would be replaced by a box culvert. The realignment would also entail the taking of over 160,000 square feet on which are sited several businesses (This taking would not be required for the reconstruction of the La Cadenallowa Interchange as proposed in the 1-215 PSR.) Iowa would be extended to Commerce Way from the pant where it intersects with the I- 215 on- and off -ramps at La Cadena As proposed in the Fluor Daniel report the Iowa Extension would then over cross the Highgrove and Southern Pac4fic Railroad lines and proceed to connect with Commerce Way The Fluor Daniel reports notes that the Highgrove railroad crossing may not be feasible due to the presence of high powered electrical lines that parallel the railroad Our refinement of the Fluor Daniel alternative entails lengthening the Highgrove and Southern Pacific Railroad over crossings of 1-215 to provide sufficient width for the Iowa Extension to Commerce Way which would cross under the railroad over crossings, parallel to the freeway The Iowa Extension would proceed on a northeasterly alignment to intersect with Commerce Way at its intersection with Van Buren 5 r R I I IWO �W M 0 I� I uj ui U) ., 4 w , • rW �M May r .r.l• rrrrY..l~ LEXTEI UNDE CROS REALIGN EXTEND 1 MORM f / 1-215/LA CADENA INTERCHANGE CONCEPT FIGURE 1 B 4 24.51 B 24.5 B Qc ac o r r � �Ll N 24 B ac 29.6 C h r La 24�.2�._B._ 23.31 B Barton Road Wa 4 d 0 0 r � ttrr Do Barry Stnwt cw Van Buren Street t t era o 4.31 A t t .8 1 A 2.11 A O eT ADT x 1000 LOS Unamed Arterial ,eue111828 WRh Connector X.X I X Connection Without Connector X.X X Pico Street r c ® f NORTH ` Main Street • Assumes recommended Improvements from Baseline Memorandum LA CADENAAOWA 1-215 FERCHANGE CONNECTION ANALYSIS 0 FIGUFIE V QOVAIr Methodology Two forecast resources were used to idemfy the traffic impacts of the North -.South Corridor These are (1) Data from the travel forecast model developed for the North.

Therefore, the circulation fee sl wld raise 15 percent of the total cost of future circulation improvements The fee allocation factors shown on Table F are used to calculate the fee that are recommended to be charged to new development on a per unit basis These factors are applied to the total cost of improvements that Moll be charged to new development. The factors take into account the quantity of new development for each land use class and the number of trips that will be generated The fee allocation factor for retail development is further adjusted by an intercept factor This factor is applied to account for the characteristic of retail development to attract existing trips on the circulation system Data from the ITE Tnp Generation Manual indicates that typical retail development can generate approximately 50 percent new tnps and intercept approximately 50 percent existing tnps PROPOSED FEES Table G shows the proposed fees for the construction of new signals and circulation improvements in the City of Grand Terrace 12 As indicated by the data on Table G, the total cost for new signal construction is estimated at $1 3 million Fifteen percent cf the cost, or $190,646, is proposed to be funded by a arculation improvement fee This leaves an unassigned cost of $1,109,354 Also Table G shows the total cost to fund construction of the circulation improvements in the City of Grand Terrace is estimated at $6,380,025 The fee program will fund 15 percent of this amount or $935,634 This leaves an unassigned cost for circulation improvements at $5,444,391 FUNDING UNASSIGNED COST The total unassigned cost to fund construction of signal and circulation improvements in the City of Grand Terrace is estimated at $6,553,754 There are several funding sources that may be considered to cover these unassigned cost These include the following C Measure I - Currently, the City receives approximately $100,000 per year which can be used to fund circulation improvements or roadway maintenance Gasoline Tax Revenues - As the result of the passage of SB45, County Regional Transportation Planning Agencies such as SANBAG have broad discretionary authority to fund circulation improvements at the local level These monies can be used to fund arterial improvements such as needed in the City of Grand Terrace, if approved by SANBAG The Congestion Management Air Quality (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant programs of the Inter -modal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) - 14 • 4 The fees are based on current cost estimates which are subject to change over time due to factors such as inflation The fee should be reviewed penodically to venfy that they are consistent with the cost Furthermore, it is legally required to review the fee at least once every five years • Revenues generated be the fee program must be kept in an account separate from t other City funds • Revenues generated by the fee program must be expended within five years of collection if not, the City must make findings that identify when the funds will be expended If these findings are not made, the money must be refunded • Once sufficient funds have been collected, the City has 180 days to identify the starting date of construction • The improvements that the fee vwll finance must be identified when the fee is imposed 16 Community and Economic Development Department Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, a Negative Declaration is hereby filed on the below referenced project, on the basis that said project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
