DESCRIPTION: The Citywide Complete Streets Program is a comprehensive process for managing trafficvolume, travel speeds and traffic-related noise in the City's residential neighborhoods. The program reliesheavily on community input to determine the best-suited traffic management measures for a particularneighborhood. Specific measures include reconfiguration or installation of roadway striping, alteration ofsignal timing, installation of regulatory or warning signs, and installation of traffic-calming devices.

JUSTIFICATION: Through-traffic, the speed and noise of cars, and the lack of available on-street parkingin neighborhoods negatively affects people living along a street. The negative impacts of excessive traffic,including noise, dust, air pollution, vibration, traffic collisions, and decreased bicycle and pedestrian safety,reduce quality of life in residential areas. This program was developed to address these concerns throughthe implementation of traffic-calming measures on residential streets. Travel speeds and traffic volumesare generally reduced after traffic-calming measures are installed. These measures often result in fewerand less severe traffic collisions, and an increase in neighborhood activities such as walking, bicycling andchildren playing in front yards.

SCHEDULE: In FY 2019, ongoing work including speed hump investigations, preferential parking programand neighborhood traffic management program will continue.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Mobility Element of the GeneralPlan by protecting neighborhoods and helping to promote and improve traffic safety within the City.

IMPACT ON THE NORTHWEST: A portion of this project will address traffic concerns in NorthwestPasadena neighborhoods.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: The cost to implement appropriate traffic-calming measures, identified andapproved through extensive public outreach, has increased. The cost increases are attributed to risingconstruction costs and the increase in demand for additional traffic-calming installations. Anticipatedimprovements in current areas are expected to exceed available funding.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the installation of bulb-outs/median islands at Avenue 64 andChurch Street, Avenue 64 and Melrose Avenue, and Avenue 64 and Nithsdale Road. This project alsoprovides for a traffic signal at Avenue 64 and Nithsdale Road. In addition, small median islands will beinstalled on Avenue 64 south of Burleigh Drive.

JUSTIFICATION: Avenue 64 is a residential street lined with single-family homes. Although the postedspeed limit is 35 mph, the 85th speed percentile reaches 44 mph along some segments of the street. Thisproject was identified as a result of public concerns that Avenue 64 is being used as a cut-through routefrom neighboring cities resulting in speed-related collisions and poor pedestrian safety. Avenue 64 is aminor arterial that serves as a regional connector due to the lack of nearby highway/freeway connectors.The installation of small median islands on Avenue 64, south of Burleigh Drive, is in response to vehiclesusing the two-way left-turn lane as a passing lane.

SCHEDULE: Preliminary design will continue in FY 2019.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Mobility Element Policy 3.2 ofthe General Plan which seeks to apply traffic management measures to control vehicular traffic speedsand volumes on local and collector streets within residential neighborhoods to assure safe and orderlytraffic flows.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: The Department of Transportation has received numerous requests toinstall marked crosswalks along Avenue 64 to enhance pedestrian safety. After a thorough trafficinvestigation, the recommended project improvements, traffic signal, curb extension, median island, etc.,were identified as the best improvements to address safety concerns and achieve the desired safetyenhancements along Avenue 64.

HISTORY: This project was created in FY 2015 and initially funded in FY 2016. In FY 2016, the name ofthe project was changed from "Arterial Speed Management and Safety Improvements - Ave 64 fromColorado Blvd to South City Limits" to "Complete Streets Project - Ave 64 from Colorado Blvd to SouthCity Limits."

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for a concept study for the installation of traffic calming elementsincluding roundabouts at the intersections of Hill Avenue at Topeka Street and Hill Avenue at ElizabethStreet. In addition, the following intersections will be treated with bulb-outs: Hill Avenue at Villa Street,Orange Grove Boulevard, Mountain Street, Washington Boulevard, Howard Street, Ashbury Drive,Whitefield Road, Casa Grande Street, Loma Vista Street, Paloma Street, Las Lunas Street, and MonteVista Street.

JUSTIFICATION: Hill Avenue is a residential street lined with single-family homes, townhomes andapartments. Although the posted speed on Hill Street north of Washington Boulevard is posted at 30 mph,the 85th percentile reaches 40 mph. Hill Avenue north of Washington Boulevard carries about 9,000 cartrips per day, while south of Washington Boulevard carries on average 16,800 car trips per day. North HillAvenue has one lane of traffic in each direction and does not have a two-way left turn median whichmakes it very difficult for residents to enter and exit their driveways.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the expansion of the City's existing Adaptive Traffic Control(ATC) capabilities on South Fair Oaks Avenue to four arterial segments, allowing for adaptive traffic controlcapabilities within the mobility corridor network. The following are the corridor segments proposed for thisproject: California Boulevard, St. John Avenue to Lake Avenue; Del Mar Boulevard, St. John Avenue toOak Knoll Avenue; Lake Avenue, San Pasqual Street to Orange Grove Boulevard; and Foothill Boulevard,Sierra Madre Boulevard to Michillinda Avenue.

JUSTIFICATION: Since 1999, the City has used a time-of-day or time-based traffic plan scheduling formanaging street traffic which worked well under fairly predictable traffic patterns. In recent years, however,poor levels of service on the adjacent freeway system created unpredictable traffic patterns. As a result, in2012, the City launched its initial Adaptive Traffic Control System installation on the southern portion ofFair Oaks Avenue, the major corridor adjacent to the 710 freeway gap. The City proposes to expand theoriginal ATC deployment into four mobility corridor segments that will expand the benefits of adaptivetraffic control to cover a network of signals serving as main mobility corridors throughout the City.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the implementation of a Citywide transportation performancemonitoring network that will continuously monitor minor arterials, collectors and other "gateways" by linkingthem to the City's Traffic Management Center (TMC). The automated system will be designed to performaccurately with low maintenance costs, which is far superior to costly manual data collection. The projectwill have two phases: the pilot phase located on Orange Grove Boulevard and a citywide implementationphase based on the results of the pilot program.

JUSTIFICATION: Over the years the City has built an extensive communications network along majorarterials that link to the City's TMC. This project will utilize the existing transportation communicationsystem or expand the system wherever necessary to ultimately monitor the movement of traffic throughthe City.

SCHEDULE: Staff will continue implementation of the Live Traffic Data high resolution data collection andreporting in FY 2019.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Mobility Element Policy 4.8 byexpanding the TMC capabilities to provide priority treatment and monitoring of transit vehicles at trafficsignals on major streets along with the use of advanced communication systems to provide additionaltraveler information services and monitoring of traffic and transit services by using automated vehiclelocation technology.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: Future plans of this monitoring system will include disseminating Citywidetraffic/transit information with historical/archived traffic information on the internet. Additional informationmay be collected for transit services and non-auto uses. The City will also continue to pursue fundingopportunities for additional performance monitoring tools.

HISTORY: This project was created and initially funded in FY 2006. The pilot program on Orange GroveBoulevard was implemented in FY 2012. In FY 2017, the citywide implementation of a performancemonitoring network began.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the systematic replacement of light-emitting diode (LED) trafficsignal indicators, pedestrian signals and safety lighting along various routes.

JUSTIFICATION: In FY 2005, the City replaced all incandescent traffic signal indicators and pedestriansignals with LED indicators to reduce energy consumption and enhance safety. LED indicators begin todim or partially fail as they reach the end of their life cycle. Unlike incandescent bulbs that burn out at theirpoint of failure, LED indicators fail incrementally over time. The light output may be less than required,strings or clusters of LEDs may fail, or the indicator may begin to flicker. This project will enable the City toevaluate the current condition of LED indicators by measuring light output and replacing indicators that arefailing.

SCHEDULE: This project will continue in FY 2019.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Public Facilities ElementObjective 6 by the continued provision of a high level of design quality in all public streets. In addition, theproject is consistent with Public Facilities Element Objective 5 by encouraging a high level of maintenanceof existing facilities to ensure public safety.

DESCRIPTION: This project will upgrade, repair, replace or install Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)components including but not limited to the following: closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras,changeable message signs (CMS), in-roadway warning lights (IRWL), video detection systems (VDS),fiber optic cable communication systems, wireless communication systems, count-down pedestriansignals, miscellaneous traffic management center equipment and other smart traffic control devices toimprove the traffic mobility and safety along the City’s mobility corridors.

JUSTIFICATION: Many of the City’s ITS elements were implemented in the early 1990s and areincreasingly becoming more difficult and expensive to operate. Due to rapid advancements in technology,many of these components have ceased to function not only due to lack of funds, but also because theyhave become obsolete by today’s standards. Many parts or vendors that originally supplied the equipmentare no longer available. In addition, because of the high demand to make Pasadena's existing roadnetwork as efficient as possible, the City has installed many more ITS devices without appropriatingcapital costs for preserving the system’s operability. Currently, the City has over 40 CCTV systems, 11CMS, 80 VDS and approximately 25 miles of fiber optic system. Plans have been approved to install atleast 24 more CCTV cameras, two CMS, eight miles of fiber optic cable and a number of additional VDS.The Metro Rapid Bus system is also being deployed, which will require specialized smart traffic signalequipment. This project is crucial to ensure traffic management functionality is maintained during day-to-day functions and special events, incidents on the freeway, construction detours and other nonrecurringevents. This will also be critical in maintaining safety for those ITS devices intended to provide additionalprotection to pedestrians such as the IRWL systems, flashing beacons and countdown pedestrian signals.

SCHEDULE: This project will continue in FY 2019.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with the Mobility Element Objective 4.5by improving and stabilizing the flow of traffic on established mobility corridors. It is also consistent withPublic Facilities Element Objective 6 by the continued provision of a high level of design quality in allpublic streets.

DESCRIPTION: This project provides for the construction of a Transit Operations and MaintenanceFacility (TOMF) at 2180 East Foothill Boulevard. The proposed transit facility will support operations andmaintenance of the Pasadena Transit and Dial-A-Ride services fleet, including accommodating 30compressed natural gas buses and 15 paratransit vehicles.

JUSTIFICATION: The existing bus yard at 303 North Allen Avenue is leased and operated by the City'stransit service contractor. This location has always served as the bus yard used by the contractors whohave operated the City's transit services. Several issues with the current bus yard have made it imperativefor the City to locate and construct a TOMF. Due to the growth in local transit services, the existing busyard is no longer large enough to store all of the Pasadena Transit buses and Dial-A-Ride vehicles. Thesize constraint of the current bus yard has resulted in having to store and operate a number of buses outof facilities several miles away; additional expenses are incurred in order to lease the additional vehiclestorage space. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the current bus yard site will be available in thefuture as a bus yard because it is privately owned. The proposed TOMF will address the existingdeficiencies of the current bus yard by providing a single site that can accommodate storage, cleaning,fueling, maintenance and dispatching of all the Pasadena Transit buses and Dial-A-Ride vehicles. Theproposed TOMF will eliminate over 175 miles of daily deadhead (non-revenue) miles that are required tosimply fuel the vehicles. By owning the TOMF and not requiring the service contractor to provide anoperations and maintenance facility, the City may also be able to secure a reduced hourly contract rate bytaking the leasing cost out of a contractor’s rate.

SCHEDULE: In FY 2019, design will be completed. Construction will begin when funding is identified.

RELATIONSHIP TO GENERAL PLAN: This project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy 14.4 byincreasing access to and linkages among community service facilities. The project is consistent with Policy20.4 by promoting mobility for those who do not drive, particularly seniors, youth and the disabled. Inaddition, the project is consistent with Objective 21 by making Pasadena a city where there are effectiveand convenient alternatives to using cars. The project is consistent with the 2004 Mobility Element Policy1.3 by developing convenient access between affordable housing, employment and access to services.Also, the project is consistent with Policy 1.9 by promoting the enhancement of attractive, convenient, non-auto services providing access to neighborhood districts, community and regional centers, and mixed-useboulevards. Further, the project is consistent with Policy 1.14 by recognizing the distinctive transportationneeds of the community and delivering appropriate transportation services developed through publicoutreach programs. Finally, the project is consistent with Policy 2.3 by seeking funding to expand thePasadena Transit service to provide increased local transit service throughout the community.
