GENERAL PLAN UP -DATING
Presentation by Traffic Consultant: Peat, Marwick & Livingston
Mr. Aiassa: Mr. Mayor - we have rearranged the schedule a
• bit, we are having a short introduction by our
Planning Director --Mr. Menard, and then
Mr. Zimmerman, Assistant Citjr.nEngineer, and -Mr. Goodrich, representing the
firm of Peat, Marwick & Livingston, will make the detailed presentation
pertaining to the lanes, traffic counts, etc.
Mr. Menard: My remarks are brief, only to set the frame-
work as to how the traffic study fits into the
General Plan program and the steps and
evolutions that program went through as it was created.
In regard to the relationship between the
General Plan and traffic analysis it became obvious at the sketch plan
stage that it was necessary to test some of the changes they were
recommending in the traffic pattern. At that time it was ultimately de-
cided to retain the services of Peat, Marwick & Livingston, in a two
phase program. First phase - to test the sketch plan and some of the
broad concepts embodied therein. This test proved that the rough traffic
system as proposed did appear feasible. They then launched forward into
the more sophisticated General Plan study, and phase II of the traffic
analysis in connection with the land uses, as the traffic generations
proposed on that General Plan slowing evolved. Phase II of the traffic
study was to test the overall General Plan, the land use as contained
therein, to determine whether or not those land uses could be handled under
the traffic system as proposed. If the answer was "yes" then we had a .
coordinated long range guide off into the future and if "no" then we had to
•go back and change traffic, change land use, etc. The plan we have at then
moment tends to indicate the land uses contained therein, the traffic
proposals, etc., will work hand in hand.
The only other comment I would make is in regard
to the kind of study we have done, the County Regional Planning Commission
is anticipating the same kind of study for the entire East San Gabriel
Valley. So we may have triggered something in West Covina that will spread
over the entire valley. In conclusion this has only been an attempt to set
the framework: sketch plan, sketch traffic study, general plan, and the
overall traffic analysis was the sequence of events.

TRAFFIC STUDY - PRESENTATION - Continued
Mr. Zimmerman: With that format indicating the relationship
of the work which is very briefly outlined
technically on the sheet here, I would like to
expand a bit and show some of the things which brought it about and some
of the things which it is leading into. Most of us are aware of the
situation that existed on Garvey Avenue prior to the San Bernardino
Freeway. This was replaced by the 4-lane freeway which soon became over-
loaded and went to 3-lanes in each direction and is now proposed to go to
5-lanes each directionin this area. This Traffic Study is an effort to
learn hbw';-;the network of our streets should go, tell us what we are really
to run into in the future. (Referred to map presented, pointed out
areas and explained.) This is a conservative viewpoint of the situation
and not one which is blown out of proportion to what is likely to happen.
The study has been coordinated with the Division of Highways and the DMJM
report in Covina. We checked with every source in the area and this
includes the Los";Angeles Regional study participated in by all local.
agencies under the State Division of Highways, made some years ago.
The FAS system of highways was instituted and
there are a number of routes in West Covina - Azusa, Glendora, Citrus
north of the Freeway, Amar Road west of Grand and Grand Avenue. The State
in 1957 identified street standards for FAS routes of 110' bf right-of-way
with a 90' street section on the 110' right-of-way. Azusa Avenue was
built to that standard within the last few years and the same on Grand
Avenue and the Division of Highways has shown that it acquieses as well
as the Federal Government to the tune of several million dollars with the
San Bernardino Freeway widening. The Freeway underpasses includes a
wide street at West Covina Parkway, which will be sufficient to
•accommodate this. No change at Sunset and at Sunset Avenue approximately
doubling of the freeway underpass size; an additional one at Lark Ellen,
approximate doubling of Azusa Avenue underpass size; an additional
bridge at Hollenbeck, doubling of the Citrus Avenue grade separation.
The State now tells us at Barranca in conjunction with the Freeway
building they will completely tear out the existing bridge and rebuild
it to accommodate the increased traffic in that area. And you all know
the Grand interchange which will go in instead of the present underpass
without an interchange which now exists.
So that is an indication of what this type
study can do for West Covina under tie new General Plan concepts. West
Covina Parkway has been put in, in view of studies done over the past
several years, in conjunction with the replacement of the Garvey Avenue.
We now show in the Traffic Study, a 6-lane street for West Covina Parkway.
The main implementation occurs in two steps, at
least. 1: If right-of-way is available for any additional widening
which becomes necessary it is almost always not too difficult of a problem
to find the funds for construction. Gas Tax furnishes funds for
considerable construction effort by the City which need only be proportioned
according to first priority. There are additional programs and.one we
discussed is what is known as a Topics Program. This is federal funds
oriented strictly to the problem of congested places. These funds are
becoming available the first of July, and this study as a back-up could
possibly be incorporated to implement the program.
•
The future of the program, hopefully, is that
it will result as being the main basis that will result in a traffic
generation pattern for the General Plan, which will again accommodate the
needs of the different areas within our City. (Briefly explained the
different areas.)
Mr. Aiassa:
The Council has received a copy of two reports,
dated February 6 and March 19th. The March 19
did not have the recommended supplement.
Mr. Zimmerman:
Correct. We had studied
to the traffic consultant

this and proposed it
and he agreed that he

TRAFFIC STUDY - Continued
felt this was a satisfactory one. Mr. Goodrich will explain that phase
of it. (Mayor Gleckman asked that a copy be made of the supplement
recommendation and given to Council - this was done.)
(Mr. Zimmerman then suggested that he might
• briefly outline the Traffic Study for the record.)
Page 1 - Introduction: "The study findings are based upon the outputs
of a simulated gravity traffic model. To derive the 1990 travel demand,
the computer model utilized present and proposed land use, as developed
from the General Plan. Recommendations.for the traffic circulation
system were established through analysis of these traffic volumes.
Significant features of this report and the conduct of the study are -
Lane requirements were determined for all links to the future
West Covina street network (1990); the General Plan Studies were
completely integrated into this study; Travel forecasts were
calculated by a computer model and based upon the proposed LandOUse
Plan prepared by the Planning Consultant. Forecasted volumes were
specified for each link in the city street system; the entire
process has been adapted to in-house capabilities so that land use
and network proposals can be evaluated by City staff as they develop.
A supplemental technical manual was prepared and an information and
procedures seminar was conducted for the Traffic and Public Works
staff of the City."
(Mr. Zimmerman explained that this providers the City with the method of
using it with all the computer cards should there be any significant
changes in the traffic program, it will be possible for the City staff
to run the figures over again and come up with new volumes on the
• adjusted network.)
"Interfaces between the FAP, FAS, and Select System were selected
(Figure 3)."
Councilman Lloyd: I wonder would you enlighten me again as to
the differences between the FAP and FAS - I am
more interested in that. I can read the rest
of it, but I do not know what FAP or FAS or Select System means.
Mr. Zimmerman: The FAP is primarily involved with freeways;
the FAS is some of the major non -freeway
streets, some are State Highways and some are
not; the Select System is the major city street system which overlaps
the FAS system.
Councilman Lloyd: You have outlined the problem but I don't fully
understand the differences between the FAS and
FAP and Select System.
Mr. Zimmerman: FAP - Federal Aid Primary and FAS - Federal Aid
Secondary - both are Federal Highway Systems
nationwide.
Councilman Lloyd:. They are then federally funded and the Select
• System would be State funded?
Mr. Zimmerman: The answer to that is they are all funded by
State and Federal monies combined.
Mr. Aiassa: The percentages vary.
(Councilman Lloyd asked for further explanation regarding percentages -
80% or 60% or what.)
Mr. Zimmerman: We can certainly make an analysis of that and
present it.

(Mr. Goodrich, Traffic Consultant, offered to summarize.) Federal Aid
Primary is the highest classification in this category - FAP, it is
roughly funded by about 50% federal monies which come through gas tax,
the 4¢ you pay on each gallon of gasoline. Usually FAP is a freeway
and always a State Highway. Glendora, for example, Route 39 - shown
on Page 10 in the report but not defined. The FAP are State Highways
and the highest category and generally includes Freeways.
FAS - Federal Aid Secondary, is also funded about 50% through federal
funds, but it goes to a lower classification of streets and generally
these are county road types or streets going through a city and
continuing on into other cities.,
The Select System is a new State designation that came in about 3 years
ago and it is part of the State legislation and it is still gas tax
funds that are returned to the local jurisdictions on the basis of the
system they have designated as a Select System. The city has the
prerogative of designating the streets they want to receive this state
assistance. (this is also shown on Page 10) This varies by individual
street and this is why Mr. Zimmerman said it would be necessary to get
some background of this to give you the whole picture.
Councilman Lloyd: Walnut Creek Parkway would probably be a
Select System?
Mr. Zimmerman: Unquestionably a Select System street. FAS
would require approval of the State Division
of Highways.
Councilman Lloyd: That means then that you have the opportunity
to select that system; you recommend to the
State and they accept it and then it is
automatically put into the FAS or higher category. Do you select the
FAP?
Mr. Zimmerman: The FAS system is something the local
jurisdictions have a hand in, and FAP is
strictly something the State and Federal
Government determine.
Councilman Chappell: Do we use any of our city funds for FAP or
FAS maintenance?
Mr. Zimmerman.: Yes, all maintenance is done with city funds.
The Glendora project is State and County gas -
tax spent on a FAS street. FAS funds are
quite limited. I think it is $500,000 a year per county and because of
the limited amount of money available some projects have to be done
through other funds.
Mr. Aiassa: And that is a very important point, because
we just picked up some money from the County -
$97,000, so we have taken one -fifth of the
$500,000 for 1969-70. Also to go one step further there is a FASUE,
which is a modification - additional funds are available if you can.
meet a certain criteria. We were able to get some of these funds
because we were able to meet the criteria and we picked up almost
$500,000 (explained.) We were able to make it by one year and we
received $500,000 and if there were just enough change of one more
annexation or subdivision in that area we would not have gained the
$500,000, but through the cooperation of the County, the State, and
Federal Government we were able to get this money and thereby extend
Azusa over the hill, and it only cost the City $29,000. (Explained
that FASUE was originally for use for market to farm roads, but there
were so many gimmicks in it no one could qualify, but the City of West
Covina was able to do so. It stands for Federal Aid Suburban Urban
Extension.) .- 4 -

Mr. Zimmerman then continued summarizing the Traffic Study report: On
Pages 6-7-8-9 we have attempted to condense it and show it graphically;
a discussion of some of the more important major streets is on Pages 11
through 13. Page 13 discusses priorities. This necessarily has to be
*general because there are many factors that the City cannot control.
We can only speak in terms of generalities because the City does not have
control of all of the factors that enter into the definition of
priorities, and we believe the exact identification of function and cost
should remain the function of the Five Year Program of Public Works.
This can be changed from time to time as the various factors affecting
priorities change. Page 14 - an identification of discussion of right-
of-way needs, indicates that PML recommends the preservation of rights -of
way or set backs, at least for two lanes beyond those shown on the major
street system. An advantage of this is if any of the streets should
spurt ahead this would provide the need for some sort of a safety valve.
It is not likely that additional traffic lanes can be built if necessary,
requiring the tearing down of commercial buildings, etc. So the setback
line' should be established to control building construction and develop-
ing areas and rights -of -way purchases can also be delayed if setback
lines are established to control the encroachment of new improvements.
This is another result and gives us the guideline as to what the traffic
lanes will be. Page 34 is a statement along a similar line and this
compares the traffic volume with the number of lanes needed to accommodate
that traffic. (Read from report.)
Councilman Lloyd: Are these figures compatible with those
published in the Highway Commission booklet?
•Mr. Goodrich: Briefly--- yes, is.,1the -answer. These criteria
are over simp-lified as such and they do vary
on the type of the facility and the side friction.
If you have a lot of cross traffic then more lanes., are required than the
volume on it might indicate. The answer is "Yes", but everybody's
standards have quite a range in them.
Mr. Zimmerman: This completes the Engineering Department
report, we feel the consultant has completed
the requirements of his contract and we recommend
the approval of it by the City Council.
Don K. Goodrich, Manager I would like briefly to give you some specifics
Peat, Marwick, Livingston on how we did this and then get into other
Traffic Consultants specifics on the findings - traffic volumes,
number of lanes, etc., for 1990. There were
three primary purposes to this study: 1 - Check the circulation element
of the new General Plan; 2 - Estimate right-of-way width and street needs
for 20 years into the future, or 1990; 3 - provide staff capability to do
similar work in the future if the land use plan should be changed or some
other unforeseen condition should occur.
The methodology we have used we have turned over
to staff and they can repeat what we have done without having to hire a
..consultant. Methodology, the tool that we used was what is called
mathematical traffic model. The newest method for forecasting traffic.
•The Division of Highways and the County are going to enter into an agree -
meet to do similar type work in the West San Gabriel Valley. There is
nothing set up yet for the East San Gabriel Valley but it shows your City
is far ahead of the others in getting this kind of an analysis accomplished.
Now what this traffic model does it converts land use plans into traffic
count-p. (Explained the working of the traffic model.) This is what we
did to test the model and get it working for this area. We took the
current land use plan for 1967 with the number of dwelling units, popula-
tion, employment that existed in 1967 in the City and ran this plan through
the model and came out with traffic counts for 1967 and we compared to the
actual counts done by the City. When we found we were able to duplicate
these counts we knew if we could repeat this for the 1990 plan we would
then come up with the traffic count for 1990.
- 5 -
ADJ. C.C. 3-24-69
TRAFFIC STUDY - Continued
Page Six
The technique for doing this is done in three steps: l.- the dwelling
units or the employees as shown on the General Plan, or so many acres with.
certain usages have so many employees, etc. Through statistical analysis
we know so many families determines so many trips; 2 - where will these
trips go? What is the destination? This is calculated based on the land
use and the travel time to all possible destinations within the city and
outside of the city. Page 32 shows the equations for this model. Once
we know the origin of the trips and the destination of the trips then we
know the linkage between the origin and destination. 3 - assign this
traffic movement to specific routes. Existing routes if we are working
with existing land use plan, or future routes if working with the future
land use plan. So we test aut,-�fut are routes by assigning traffic to them
and see if they can carry it or how many lanes they would require.
Now some of the aspects of this - one, would be a
computer of these calculations; anoher factor in the analysis has been
the Los Angeles Regional Trangqportation Study - LARTS done by the
Division of Highways for the local jurisdictions and it does a forecast
for the year 1980 but not to the detail required:"in','We�,t Covina. So we
use the LARTSdata as a tie down for the traffic in and out of West Covina
and traffic through West Covina and we did this land use model analysis-.
to determine the travel within West Covina and the internal ends of
traffic that would be leaving the City. Findings are on Page 5 of the
report. This is a key map for the four phases following, showing the
detailed analysis of four quadrants of the City. Page 6 is the detail
analysis for the northwest quadrant. This map shows 1990 estimated
condition, shows the network of streets tested for 1990. It also shows
the State freeways for 1990, and on each linkage of each street or
freeway are shown two numbers., The first figure is the 1990 estimated
• average daily traffic volume in thousands. (Explained land use data)
For example - Workman Avenue, present volume on Workman is
around 4500. On this map the volumes range from 9 - 10 - 11 etc., the
volume will go from two to three times what it is currently on Workman.
And four lanes will be required. Sunset Avenue north of Merced currently
has 15,000 and the forecast is for about the same. This is undoubtedly
due to the impact of the Huntington Beach Freeway taking off some longer
distance trips so this street has actually not increased in volume. That
is one of the few that does not. (Explained other streets in the City.)
Just east of the proposed Huntington Beach Freeway you would expect
probably the parallel street lanes would go down from today but they have
not because the land use increase is so much more, as well as the streets
being used as a collector road to get down to the Freeway, so its volume
does not drop.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
Councilman Chappell: This overall General Plan - I notice we tie in
with streets h.ot in our community and they are
major streets. When does the implementation
start and.when do we start working with the County, Covina, LaPuente - do
we do this before we make this decision?
Mr. Zimmerman: This has been coordinated with the other agen-
cies as far as possible. (Explained) Also
this coordination was based on the LARTS
made in 1961 and all cities and several surrounding counties participated
in this. And as Mr. Menard stated it is presently before the E.S.G.V.
Planning Commission - a proposal that the County Road Department and
Division of Highways perform this study for the E.S.G.V. This has already
been given to the County Road Department - our report for information, and
they will undoubtedly coordinate with us. I am sure they will use the
same system we have used here.
Councilman Lloyd: Mr. Goodrich - I noted that on Page 32 that your
land use variables are held at 5. Was there a
specific reason for this? You obviously had more
6 -
•
ADJ. C.C. 3-24-69
Page Seven
TRAFFIC STUDY - Continued
variables? And my next question would be what is the percentage of your
accuracy of observations? You made -an assumption on this, what was it?
Mr. Goodrich: Answering your second question first, the
screenline check method was used for checking
the accuracy. An. artificial line was drawn
across the City from east to west for the year 1967 and after going
through the model for 1967 and coming up with the artificial traffic
o-ounts we compared the volumes of the count with the models that should be
there and the east -west screenline we were within 1% and in the north -
south screenline within 8% of duplicating counts.
Councilman Lloyd: Was your final assumptions 5%?
Mr. Goodrich:
Councilman Lloyd:
Mr. Goodrich:
to more categories
Councilman Lloyd:
Mr. Goodrich:
Councilman Lloyd:
Mr. Goodrich:
The model is able to duplicate traffic within
10% accuracy.
Why did you limit to 5?
The five land use criteria groupings are
fairly standard. It is a matter of data
availability and computer time whether you go
or fewer.
What was the judgment that entered into it to
say we will do five?
If we hgd gone to six or seven the accuracy
would have been improved only 1 or 2%.
And what were the five land use variables?
Residential, shopping, commerical, industrial,
and public, and they are defined on Page 26.
Mayor Gleckman: Somewhere along the line I was under the
impression we were going to talk - implementa-
tion. Maybe that is strictly in-house, and maybe I misunderstood the
study, but it seems to me you used the proposed General Plan and land
usages to get to the particular figures you got to and now we are going
to take this and put into the General Plan in order to justify their -
position regarding the widening of streets, etc. My question to you is,
does the tail wag the dog or does the dog wag the tail?
Mr. Goodrich: This is a good question that the professionals
have been kicking around for years. What this
plan of circulation has done is it has
checked the land use plan as to its reasonableness. Ever since land use
plans with a circulation plan thrown in without checking that, they just
could not possibly work together. The functions would be impossible and
the orientation of the circulation system would be impossible. We have
worked with the consultant of the General Plan and we have set not only
where these routes should be and can go but how many lanes. This is
getting into implementation and the important thing is that staff now
has the findings in here and when someone wants to put in a subdivision
that may fall across or near one of these routes that the right-of-way
be preserved, so it is now up to staff and Council to review every proposal
that comes into the City to make sure provisions are made for this plan
to be implemented.
Mayor Gleckman: One of the main streets we talked about was
Walnut Creek Parkway. My question would be
we are dealing now, and of course you people
mentioned it when you started talking about going over the wash, if
possible - dollarwise. You are dealing with a particular street with the
- 7 -

Page Eight
exception of Glendora east, that is in existence at the present time
and we are talking about husinesses presently located without the
proper right-of-way to give us the proper lanes we might need,
•specifically in our Civic Center. Now if that is going to carry the
amount of traffic projected, are the recommendations that we permit
nb`"parking on this street to give us the extra lane or can we go to
the Court House and Barker Brothers and say we need an extra lane to
provide for the amount of traffic that will be created with the new
off -ramp? And in addition to that, have we given any thought to how
much land is available to the north of the present Walnut Creek Parkway,
that we are trying to sell and which might be useful to the City in the
future to widen the lanes? In other words we go out and sell the land
then we condemn the land to widen the lane we knew we were going to
need when we were trying to sell the land. It doesn't make sense to me
unless there are comments in here which I did not find. I found going
over the bridge, but I did not find the excess land that belongs to the
County Flood Control. Why don't we go after it prior to it being
developed?
Mr. Zimmerman: Excess parcels - this is again beyond the
limits of a normal traffic consultants -
operation. The traffic consultant would
indicate that so many lanes of traffic are needed to carry the volume
needed in 1990, whether or not parking is permitted , this doesn't
affect the number of lanes required. It would be a part of the general
alignment of street plans.
Mayor Gleckman: That is what I am getting back to, does the
• tail wag the dog or does the dog wag the tail?
This is fine to give us all these figures
but my point is when if ever do we ever- take that map and put the
existing things in there into effect to achieve this particular method
rather than having a piece of paper and saying it would be nice to have
6 lanes, etc. In other words if the City will widen Walnut Creek
Parkway to the extent of ...... we will then be able to handle the
traffic that should be used on that particular street. If the City
doesn't widen that street - what happens to the traffic projection -
that is my question?
Mr. Goodrich: There are two ways of solving this and I think
you have them both in mind - if there is no
substitute for the Walnut Creek_"Parkway widening
then obviously the City cannot go to the land use plan that is being
evolved by the Planning Consultant. If the City attempted to go with the
land use plan without the traffic or attempting to change the land use
plan there is a tremendous congestion built in and the economies built in,
etc., and the land use plan will not be achieved and there will be some
undesirable development. If you don't have the capacity you can't have
the land use plan.
Mayor Gleckman:
people who are viewing it

That is my only comment -

That is my point. I was curious why this was
not put in the report, in order to be able to
better guide not only the General Plan, but the
and the City Council in the future who may have

why it wasn't in the plan in order to better
necessary if this is to be of any use to the
Councilman Nichols: That is a good point. The Council makes a
formal approval or adoption of this plan and
obviously it is a committment to supporting the General Plan, before the
hearing of the General Plan. Adversely if this Council does adopt the
General Plan to the extent that General Plan is supported by this plan,
then we darn well better adopt this.

TRAFFIC STUDY - Continued
Mayor Gleckman: You said it very well and that is really
what I was trying to bring out, because it
was not mentioned in the report.
• Mr. Zimmerman: I would like to comment that in the event
there is a change=- the General Plan is not
approved in its present form, the information
is given to us and all the data, so the staff can rerun on any change
that Council would want to make, in either the street circulation system
or the General Plan.
Mayor Gleckman: I was also under the impression, Mr. Goodrich,
that the traffic consultants were going to give
us methods in which to secure financing
in order to obtain this internal traffic map. I was under the impression
we were going to get some type of direction in funding these projects
in order to get this job done.
Mr. Goodrich: We went part way in that in the identification
of the FAP and FAS and the Select System. We
think you should go to that route - which
would be financing from the outside of the City.
Mayor Gleckman: That also was not specifically in the report -
that we the Council,on any implementation
that would be done, should do so under the
direction of the study. Stating this is what you should do in order to
•accomplish this - this was not in the report and had not Mr. Lloyd
received the information he received this end result would not have come
out as to the manner in which to proceed to obtain the funds. I feel
this should have been more definite in the report so anyone in the future
would have this reformation.
If there are no further questions we do have
a recommendation from the staff, in fact we have two. The question was
indicated here as to whether the Council at this particular time should
approve the report or accept the report. What is your pleasure?
Councilman Nichols: My thought was that although this is a very
meaty and good report I believe the Council at this stage should not
approve it per se, but accept it. The approval of the report would tend
to specifically place the cart before the horse, in effect adopting the
General Plan in advance of the hearing of the General Plan. I think
this is something we should accept. My thought would be first accept':
this and then act on the other.
Mayor Gleckman: The accepting or adopting of this report
has nothing to do with the second recommenda-
tion, which is to approve the discharge of
the consultant in view of the fact he has fulfilled the terms of the
contract with the City. I would entertain a motion to the first part.
Councilman Chappell: Do we want to instruct them to come back
with a couple more pages in light of what we
brought out this evening, or leave it as it is?
Mayor Gleckman: I believe our staff can do that in the General
Plan rather than require additional time of the
consultant.
Motion by Councilman Nichols, seconded by Councilman Lloyd, that the
Council, -receive the report with supplement from the traffic consultants -
Peat, Marwick & Livingston.
