Pacific Coast Highway is a foux Zane highway, with approximately
eighty feet of roadway within a 90 feet right-of-way. It has a
median island and left turn bay, and is classified as a major
azteri.al under the 'Iraffic Ci-rculation Element. The posted speed
limit on Pacific Coast Highway is 40 miles per houx. Phoebe street
is a local, two lane, thirty foot roadway within a 40 foot right--
of-way, that terminates at Pacific Coast Highway. The "T"
intersection is presantly controlled by a stop sigr, at the west
appraa01 af Phoebe Street. A commercial district is located narth
and sauth of Phoebe Street, on the west side of Pacific Coast
Hfghway. On the east si.de of Pacific Coast Highway , la.es tlie

were a variety of collision typas. There was a pedestrian/vehi.cle,
~ a fixed object/ve.hicle; one rea: end, and *wo broadside accidents.
Only one brnadsir-le accident wauld have been prevented by the
~ ~1- ~
,

~ af {g_and Pedegtr.i,~n Volume:
The da3.ly trai'ric volune on Paciffc Coast Highway is alnout 14000

~ valumQ is 167 vehicles. Based on the traffic volumes, the total
~ paints assigned to this intersection are zera for the peak four
~ hour period anc. zero for volume difference fox a total of zero
~ paints.
Previous genera.l ohservations suggest that padestrian volume
crossing at this intersection is probably between 1 to 50
~ pedestxians. ThP number of points assigned is 1.
t
Unusual Conditions:
~
Presently the Pncific Coast Highway is lined with large eucalyptus

CITY OF ENCINITAS
~ AGLNDA REPORT
~
Mesting Date: Fsbruaxy 21r 1990
TO:Warren H. S2aafer, Ci~y Manager
FRO • Morton F. August, Director of Public WorKs` ~
,
DATE: February 15, 1990
SUBJECT: Traffic Commission Recommendations for the Implementation of a
Safe Route to School Program (PW042;.
BACRGI:OUND :
~ In conjunction w?th Work Project PW042, Willdan Associates completed a study
entitled "Safe Route to Schocl Program in March, 1989 (Attachment n). The
report focuses on the means by which children gain access to and from the
City's nine elementary schools and provides reccmmendations for the
i-mplementation of traffic safety measures to enhance pedestr.:an and bicycle
safety. Copies of t5e repert were placed in the local libraries and
forwarded to the school districts for their review.
Due to the transition from a Traffic Advisory Committee to a Traffic
tc o mmissior.and the level of detrsiled information contained within the report,
he Traffic Commission discussions on the issue began in September, 1989 and
ontinue3 into January, 1990. During this time, the Traffic Commission
considered numezzas staff reports (Attachment B) and substantial public
input. Minutes cf their meetings are attached as Attachment C. The Traffic
Commission recommendations are contained in Resolutian TC 90-01.
DZSCDSSIOh':
Unllike the typical traffic engineering approach to recommending traffic:
safety ir..provemen;.s onlj in response to a demonstrat-ed and 4 3zntifiable
traf_`ic safety deficiency, a Safe Route to School Program trpically focuses
on what measures would be prudent to ~mrZement in an attempt to avoid
-accidenr_s invclving cl-.ildren who are on their way to or frorn elementary
school. This apg-roach recoanizes that elementary school age crildrEn's
peripheral vision is not as well developed as in tEenaoers or adull'-s and
oftentimAs have difficulty in understanding tr.e proper use of crosswalks,
signs and "rules of the road".
Mast, if not ail. the nor.-capital recommendations in the Willdan report such
as repainting crosswalks and relocation of signs have already been
accomplished by s*_aff. ;he Traffic Commission had only minimal discussien
on the items in '!'able II related mainly tc additional signage dnd pari•:ing
restrictiQns. '^.ost of the public testimony and Traffic Commissi-n focus was
on the capital improvement portian rf their reGOr,unendations. ''ihis element
contained in Table I recommer.3s construction of all-weather surfacing of
edestrian-ways serving fou: schoois. It is intended th3t these walkways be
~esigned and constructed so to mitigatr. as mu.ch as practical any impact on
~~-~l
local community character and are envisioned te be construsted wit~he
sxisting public rights-of-way. In areas where cancrste curb exists,
Tragtic Commission is suqqestinq the remova1 of an,y eneroachments and the
1 construct!on of concrete sidewalks. In arems w±=hcut curbs the Traffic
Commission is suggesting that a raised asphalt berm and sidewalk be placed
along the existing edae of pavement. The raissd berm was felt to bs an
importnnt safQ*_y feature that would minimize motorists driving in ,.)r parY.ing
on the area intended for pedestrians.
The Traffic Commission's desirs is to see the thres phases of the shLrt .range
walkway imprnve:nents to be acr_omplished within th,ree years. While
,'esire would be for City Council to fully fund tne $525,000 program, the
Traffic Commission understoud that such funding may not be readiiy availahle
to devote to this program. Therefore, they cencluded that rhe most
appropriate alternative to accomplish the proqram within the desired time
frar.ke would be to for,u a City initiated benefit assessment district wxth
• zones of benefits that coincide with the service areas of each of the four
schools. Furthermore, the Traf_fic Commission recommended that the $100,000
in Work Project PW075, for implementation of the Safe Route to School
Proqram, be utilized to prepaze glans and specificaticns for the ~.,sired
improvements, as well as, the assessment district engineer..,g. Specifics
regarding how such an assessm=nt district co•,ald be fcrmed and a range of
costs that could be f:xpected based on very preliminary cost estim3tes are
contained in the staff report dated November 1, 1990. A member of the
Traffic Commission wi'_1 bE in attendance at the City Council meeting on
February 21, 1990 to respond to any o-uestions the City Council may have
legarding these recommendations.
taff has reviewed tr.e Traffic :'otnmi-_sion's recommenda;ions and have no
additie.7a1 conunents. At this time, however, staff desires to solicit City
Couacil direction as what they wish staff to pursue. Alter.natives available
to City Council are:
1. Accept the recommendations of the Traffic Commission, find that Work
Project PW042 is complete and direct staff ta returr, with a sctiedule for
implementation as part of PW075.
2. Modify the recommendations of the Traffic Co:nm=ssion, find that Work
Project PW042 is complete and 3irect staff to return with a scheaule for
imglementation as part of PW075.
3. Re~uest the Traffic Ccmmission to reconsider their recor-nendations or
develop other recommendations andl provide specific direction.
4. Receive and file the Traffic Commission reco.amerdations.
R.ECQMMENDATZON:
I: is recommended that City Council consider the recorr.mendations of the
Traffic Comzr,ission and provide direction.
