08-18-2020 - AGENDA ITEM 06 CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING AND TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ALONG CAMERON AVENUE BETWEEN HOLLENBECK STREET AND BARRANCA STREET, THE INTERSECTION OF CITRUS STREET AND CAMERON AVENUE, AND ALONG CITRUS STREET12/1 /2020 Print Staff Report AGENDA ITEM NO. 6 DATE: August 18, 2020 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: David Carmany City Manager AGENDA STAFF REPORT City of West Covina I Office of the City Manager SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING AND TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ALONG CAMERON AVENUE BETWEEN HOLLENBECK STREET AND BARRANCA STREET, THE INTERSECTION OF CITRUS STREET AND CAMERON AVENUE, AND ALONG CITRUS STREET RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to proceed with design and construction of traffic -calming and traffic safety improvements along the corridor of Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Barranca Street, the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue, and along the Citrus Street Corridor. These improvements include traffic -calming striping, signage, pavement legends, larger LED STOP signs, and speed radar feedback signs as shown in the conceptual diagram in Attachment No. 1. BACKGROUND: In early 2019, the City received requests to review the traffic operations at the stop -controlled intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue. In response to these requests, the previously contracted City Engineer (Willdan) prepared a Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis in March 2019, and determined that the intersection met warrants for the installation of a Traffic Signal based on Warrant 1 (The Eight Hour Volume Warrant). As a result, City staff held two public meetings to present the findings of the analysis at a Traffic Committee Meeting on June 11, 2019 and at a Community Workshop on August 13, 2019. At both meetings, City staff discussed various options to improve the intersection. Many of the attending residents opposed the installation of the traffic signal and instead requested various traffic calming and other traffic safety improvements. At the request of the City, a second comprehensive review was conducted in response to community feedback. As part of this second review, the current contracted City Engineer (Transtech) conducted and collected additional vehicular and pedestrian data, which included a peak hour turning movement count, a level of service (LOS) analysis for various scenarios, and a review of the collision history for the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue. Based on the second analysis, it was also determined that the intersection met warrants for the installation of a traffic signal. Other traffic improvements such as traffic calming measures along Cameron Avenue were also recommended as part of the analysis. The installation of all traffic control devices on public streets is guided by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), the California Vehicle Code (CVC) and engineering judgment. Installation of traffic signals would fall under these guidelines. These findings were presented to the City Council at the December 3, 2019 City Council meeting. At the https://destinyhosled.mm/print_ag_memo.cfm?seq=909&rev_num=0&mode=6demal&reloaded=true&id=93782 1/4 Below is a list of West Covina Public Meetings that were previously held regarding the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue as well as the Corridor of Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Citrus Street: Public Meeting 1-Traffic Committee Meeting: This meeting was held on June 11, 2019 at City Hall in the Management Resource Center on the Third Floor. The City's prior Traffic Engineering Staff (Willdan), City Staff and City Police Department Representatives were present for this meeting. At this meeting, one of the items was for the consideration of installation of a proposed traffic signal at the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue. The Traffic Committee reviewed the item and decided there should be an additional Community Meeting. Public Meeting 2 - Community Workshop: Per the Traffic Committee Meeting a Community Workshop was held. This meeting was held on August 13, 2019 at the City's Senior Center. At the Workshop, the City's prior Traffic Engineering Staff (Willdan), and City Staff discussed various options with the residents regarding a proposed traffic signal at Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue. Public Meeting 3 - City Council Meeting: This meeting was held on December 3, 2019 at the City Council Chambers. At the City Council Meeting a presentation was given for the installation of a traffic signal based on the previous reports and community feedback, as well as an updated report prepared by the current Traffic Engineering Staff (Transtech Engineers, Inc.). At the meeting, the City Council directed staff to conduct additional community outreach. Community Workshop (Cancelled due to COVID-19): Originally an in -person Community Workshop was scheduled for March 16, 2020 at the City's Senior Center. Flyers and notices were mailed to residents living within the area. However due to COVID-19, County, and CDC guidelines for social distancing, the meeting was cancelled. Public Meeting 4 - Virtual Community Workshop (This presentation): The City is determined to keep City projects moving forward so the City is conducting this Community Workshop in a virtual format. This meeting takes the place of the previously scheduled and cancelled in -person Community Workshop.

In response to the City Council's request, an in -person Community Workshop was scheduled for March 16, 2020 at the City's Senior Center. Flyers and notices were mailed to residents living within the area. However, due to COVID-19, County, and CDC guidelines for social distancing, the meeting was canceled. Instead, City Engineering staff (Transtech) conducted the community outreach in a virtual format. The goal and purpose of the Virtual Community Workshop was to provide an interactive virtual platform to collect feedback from the community regarding the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue as well as Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Citrus Street. DISCUSSION: The Virtual Community Workshop was divided in two phases as follows: Phase 1 of the Workshop was from Friday, May, 1, 2020 through Friday, May 15, 2020; and Phase 2 of the Workshop was from Monday, June 1, 2020 through Friday, June 12, 2020. During these time periods, the Community Workshop was live and accessible 24 hours a day and participants were able to watch a prerecorded presentation discussing the traffic conditions at the subject locations. After watching the presentation, participants of the Workshop were then directed to an online survey to answer questions which were tailored to the locations based on community feedback from prior public meetings. The goal of the Workshop was to collect valuable feedback from local residents who would be most affected by any changes or improvements. Flyer notices about the Virtual Community Workshop were mailed out to 1,373 addresses within the City of West Covina near the subject corridor and intersection. Each phase of the Virtual Community Workshop was divided into two parts as follows: Phase 1 included Parts 1 and 2, and was accessible and live from Friday, May 1, 2020 through Friday, May 15, 2020. Part 1 included a prerecorded video presentation that went over existing traffic conditions at the locations, identified the main concerns based on studies conducted by the Traffic Engineering Division and community feedback gathered from prior public meetings. The presentation also discussed traffic measures that could be applied to the intersection and along the corridor based on the CAMUTCD. Part 2 was an online survey based on the video presentation, to collect feedback from the community. Please refer to Attachment No. 2 for the presentation presented as part of Phase 1. A drone footage of the intersection during peak traffic volumes was also included as part of the Community Workshop. In total, 37 participants responded to the online survey in Phase 1. Phase 2 included Parts 3 and 4, and was accessible and live from Monday, June 1, 2020 through Friday, June 12, 2020. Part 3 included a second prerecorded video presentation which summarized the survey results and reviewed the potential traffic safety improvements that could be considered at the subject locations. Part 4 was a final online survey for community feedback based on the new information presented. Please refer to Attachment 4 for the presentation presented as part of Phase 2. In total, 18 participants responded to the online survey in Phase 2. Emails and phone calls were also received from residents concerning potential implementation measures. Each resident concern received via email or telephone was addressed by City staff and logged in the project file. The purpose of the workshop was to: 1. Present existing traffic conditions at the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue as well as Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Citrus Street. 2. Identify the main concerns based on studies conducted by the Traffic Engineering Division and community feedback from prior public meetings. 3. Discuss the available measures that could be applied to the intersection and along the corridor. 4. Collect feedback from residents via a first online survey that prioritized residents' concerns and identified improvements that residents would support at this intersection and along the corridor. 5. Summarize the results from the survey that was submitted during Phase 1 of the Workshop. 6. Discuss the available measures that could be applied to the intersection and along the corridor. https://destinyhosted.com/print_ag_memo.Gfm?seq=909&rev_num=0&mode=6demal&reloaded=true&id=93782 2/4 As part of the overall analysis conducted at this intersection, two traffic engineering reports determined that the intersection met traffic engineering standards for Traffic Signal installation. California Manual Traffic Control on Uniform Devices ✓ The installation of all traffic control devices on public streets is guided by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD), the California Vehicle Code (CVC), and engineering judgement. Installation of traffic signals would fall under these guidelines per CAMUTCD Chapter 4C—Traffic Control Signal Needs Studies in Part 4— Highway Traffic Signals. ✓ Based on the analysis conducted, it was found that the intersection meets the following CAMUTCD Warrants: • Warrant 1: Eight Hour Vehicular Count • Warrant 2: Four Hour Vehicular Volume • Warrant 3: Peak Hour Volume Warrant • Warrant 7: Crash Experience Warrant ✓ Installation of a Traffic Signal would provide a safer option by addressing the broadside accidents, assign right-of-way for traffic movements and provide an assigned time for pedestrians to cross with the flow of traffic. Traffic Signals provide for the orderly movement of conflicting flows by alternately assigning right-of-way to various traffic movements. ✓ Traffic signals may reduce certain types of collisions, such as right-angle (broadside) collisions (Highway Safety Manual, Table 14-7 Potential Crash Effect of Converting from Stop to Signal Control). As shown in the Collision History slide over the 5.5 years there have been 16 broadside, 5 rear -end, 4 sideswipe, 1 auto/ped, and 2 hit object collisions. CITY OF WEST COVINA TxaysrecM Below is a list of the main concerns on Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Citrus Street based on studies conducted by the Traffic Engineering Division and community feedback from prior public meetings: ✓ Speeding on Cameron Avenue ✓ Too much traffic (congestion) ✓ Cameron Avenue is used as a cut-thru route for commuters ✓ Gaps in traffic on Cameron Avenue (vehicles have difficulty entering Cameron Avenue from side streets) ✓ Pedestrian or Bicyclist Safety (not comfortable walking or biking along Cameron Avenue) ✓ Residents have expressed that they want to maintain existing on -street parking ✓ Residents have expressed difficulty pulling out of their driveway CITY OF WEST COVINA TRANSTECh Installation of Traffic Calming Measures: Traffic calming is the process of reducing vehicle speeds through the use of signs, striping, pavement legends, and physical devices. Below are two types of traffic calming measures that can be considered: isiiisi ✓ YOUR SPEED Radar Feedback Signs: Radar feedback signs are an sssissii ssmsssi VNI effective way to alert drivers of their speed. The sign is used as passive SPEED enforcement to inform drivers of their travel speed. They can be affixed LIMIT to streetlight poles and run on electricity, solar power or small battery -YOUR SPEED` -i packs. ✓ White Side Stripes: A white side stripe can used to visually narrow the travel way and provide a buffer for backing out of driveways. White stripes painted along both sides of the travel way will give the driver a perception of a narrower road. Narrower lanes tend to create "friction" and thereby cause drivers to travel at a slower pace. This measure does not impact parking.

Collect feedback from residents via a second final online survey that prioritized residents' concerns and identified improvements that residents would support at this intersection and along the corridor. Please refer to Attachment No. 4 for an overview of the Community Workshop and Survey Results from Phase 1 and Phase 2. Based on survey results from the Virtual Community Workshop, staff found that residents were primarily concerned with speeding along Cameron Avenue and Citrus Street. Staff also found that even though a traffic signal at the Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue intersection is warranted (according to CAMUTCD guidelines and warrants) and would reduce the long queues and delay currently experienced at the intersection, the community is split on supporting a signal at this location, with residents who live adjacent to the intersection opposing a traffic signal and those residents who drive through the location being in favor of a traffic signal. The goal of this virtual workshop was to determine which measures the community would support that would still serve to improve the overall traffic conditions and safety along the corridors and at the intersection. At this time, it is recommended that City Council approve the traffic calming measures set forth below (CAMUTCD Section 413.04 Alternatives to Traffic Control) and traffic enhancements as shown in the Conceptual Diagram as Attachment No. 1. The type of improvements recommended have shown to enhance traffic operations and safety at intersections for both vehicular traffic as well as pedestrians, until such time that a full traffic signal may be desired and approved by the City Council for installation at the intersection. The suggested enhancements include: 1. Installation of three (3) speed radar feedback signs. One in the eastbound direction on Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street and Citrus Street, one in the westbound direction on Cameron Avenue between Citrus Street and Barranca Street, and one in the northbound direction on Citrus Street north of Cortez Street (R2-1, 30x36). 2. Replacement of the existing faded STOP Ahead Warning Signs with new STOP Ahead Signs approaching the existing stop -controlled intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue (W3-1, 3000). 3. Installation of STOP AHEAD pavement legends in each lane for all directions next to the STOP Ahead signs approaching the stop -controlled intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue. 4. Replacement of the existing STOP signs at Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue with oversized STOP signs with solar powered LED blinking lights (R-1, 3606). 5. Installation of ALL WAY STOP plaques underneath the new STOP signs (Rl-3P, 18x6). 6. Painting of the existing crosswalks at the intersection of Citrus Street and Cameron Avenue with white ladder striping in high visibility paint. 7. Installation of white side stripes for traffic calming on both sides of the street on Cameron Avenue between Hollenbeck Street to Barranca Street. This serves to narrow the roadway width and has been shown to reduce travel speeds. 8. Installation of Reduced Speed Limit Ahead signage (W3-5, 36x36) for NB traffic on Citrus Street south of Cortez Street. 9. Installation of new speed limit pavement legends of 35, 40, and 45 as show on the diagram in Attachment No. 1. OPTIONS: The options available to the City Council include: 1. Approve the current staff recommendation; or 2.

SR4-1(CA) I • Installation of Traffic Calming Measures: Traffic calming is the process of reducing vehicle speeds through the use of signs, striping, pavement legends, and physical devices. Below are two types of traffic calming measures that can be considered: isiiisi ✓ YOUR SPEED Radar Feedback Signs: Radar feedback signs are an sssissii ssmsssi VNI effective way to alert drivers of their speed. The sign is used as passive SPEED enforcement to inform drivers of their travel speed. They can be affixed LIMIT to streetlight poles and run on electricity, solar power or small battery -YOUR SPEED` -i packs. ✓ White Side Stripes: A white side stripe can used to visually narrow the travel way and provide a buffer for backing out of driveways. White stripes painted along both sides of the travel way will give the driver a perception of a narrower road. Narrower lanes tend to create "friction" and thereby cause drivers to travel at a slower pace. This measure does not impact parking.

The Virtual Community Workshop was divided into 2 Phases as explained below. Phase 1: Phase 1 included Parts 1 and 2, which was accessible and live between Friday, May 1, 2020 through Friday, May 15, 2020. Part 1 included a prerecorded video presentation that went over existing traffic conditions at the locations, identified the main concerns based on studies conducted by the Traffic Engineering Division and community feedback from prior public meetings, as well as discussed the available measures that could be applied to the intersection and along the corridor. This video can still be viewed at the webpage. Part 2 was an online survey based on the video presentation to collect feedback from the community. A drone footage of the intersection during peak traffic volumes was also included as part of the Community Workshop. In total 37 participants submitted a survey. Phase 2: Phase 2 included Parts 3 and 4 which was accessible and live between Monday, June 1, 2020 through Friday, June 12, 2020. Part 3 included a 2nd prerecorded video presentation which summarize the survey results collected from the Part 2 survey that was completed in Phase 1 and reviewed the potential traffic safety improvements that could be considered at the subject locations. Part 4 was a final online survey for community feedback based on Phase 1 as well as the new information presented as part of Phase 2. In total 18 participants submitted a survey.
