Because of the complexity and interrelatedness of transportation impacts on a regional facility such as the I-215, we understand that the- burden of preparing and implementing the deficiency plan should be a shared county-wide responsibility. Our role should be to oversee and coordinate the deficiency plan process. - Consistent with the intent of state Congestion Management Program (CMP) legislation, a deficiency plan should be prepared, adopted and approved prior to the occurrence of a deficiency. It is therefore prudent to undertake a deficiency plan for the I-215 at this time, although we believe a review of Caltrans' existing level of service data is needed to confirm or revise those results. We are submitting this letter to request SANBAG's financial assistance for the full cost of retaining a consultant to prepare a deficiency plan for the I-215, both north-bound and south-bound, between Junction 259 and the Countyline. Each of our cities should jointly direct the preparation of the deficiency plan, including: review and selection of a consultant; determination of a scope of work; and review and approval of all work products. Issues to be addressed through the deficiency plan should include: 1. Analysis, including independent traffic counts as appropriate, of the existing traffic levels of service on these I-215 segments. 2. A corridor plan to examine capital improvements and supportive policy strategies to maintain an acceptable level of service on the I-215. The boundaries of the corridor plan will be determined as part of the deficiency plan study. 'Attachment A 22795 Barton Road•Grand Terrace,California 92324-5295 •(909) 824-6621 I Alternative improvements (short and long term) to improve transportation performance within the corridor, and reduce on-road emissions as required by statute. 4. An action plan based on the above items consistent with CMP statute. 5. Strategies for incorporating the action plan into a valleywide, areawide or countywide deficiency plan based on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. We.are anxious to move forward on this deficiency plan in order to conform with the November 1994 CMP review date. Thank you for your consideration.
