AGENDA REPORT ITEM 2
DATE: November 16, 2023
FROM: Adam Fukushima, Active Transportation Manager
PREPARED BY: Luke Schwartz, Transportation Manager
Ryan Caldera, Transportation Planner / Engineer
Nathan Garcia Nava, Capital Improvement Project Engineer
SUBJECT: 2024 Roadway Sealing Plan
Recommendations:
1. Review the 2024 Roadway Sealing Plan and current design proposals and provide input
to staff on the transportation elements to guide further development of the Plan.
2. Provide input and recommend priority of streets to receive funding, in the event the entire
project is not funded and certain streets need to be deferred to a later date.
Discussion
As part of the City’s Pavement Management Program, specific streets are scheduled for
maintenance work each summer, typically alternating each year between local neighborhood
streets and arterial/collector streets. These projects provide excellent opportunities to incorporate
planned safety and complete street improvements as part of these larger maintenance activities,
which allows for more efficient and cost-effective implementation of priority active transportation
and safety improvements. During summer 2024, the following locations are planned for resealing:
1. Grand Avenue (Monterey to Slack)
2. Johnson Avenue (Laurel to Orcutt)
3. Pavement Area 1 (East City Neighborhoods)
4. Pavement Area 8 (University Neighborhoods)
5. Pavement Area 7 (Northwest of Downtown)1:
Broad Street (Mission to US 101)
Chorro Street (Foothill to Mission)
Murray Street (Broad to Santa Rosa)
See Attachment A: Project Area Map for reference.
1 These streets were originally planned for resealing in 2022 but were deferred due to conflicts with a planned sewer
line replacement project and North Chorro Neighborhood Greenway construction.
Active Transportation Committee Agenda Item 2, November 16, 2023 Page 2
Project Goals and Objectives
The following primary goals and objectives will guide the project designs, along with input from
the Active Transportation Committee (ATC) and other community stakeholders.
Overarching Project Goal:
Implement pavement maintenance treatments at selected public streets, while leveraging
opportunities to advance high-priority active transportation, accessibility and safety features.
Specific Design Objectives:
1. Apply a maintenance seal coat to selected streets to extend the life of existing pavement
surface.
2. Implement the highest-priority (Tier 1) Active Transportation Plan (ATP) projects as part
of roadway sealing improvements, and advance lower-priority (Tier 2 and Tier 3) ATP
projects as resources allow.
3. Implement transportation safety improvements as identified in the City’s Traffic
Safety/Vision Zero Report as part of roadway sealing.
4. Advance traffic calming improvements as part of roadway sealing work for streets with
approved Neighborhood Traffic Management (NTM) applications and where warranted
based on existing traffic conditions and neighborhood support, as resources allow.
5. Minimize impacts to on-street parking.
6. Minimize inconveniences to residents and businesses during construction.
Proposed Active Transportation Design Elements
The following sections identify the preliminary scope of complete street and safety improvements
proposed as part of the 2024 Roadway Sealing project, as guided by the ATP, Traffic Safety/Vision
Zero Report, and Neighborhood Traffic Management requests. Final designs will be refined based
on input provided by the ATC, San Luis Obispo Fire Department, neighborhood residents, and
other community stakeholders.
All Streets in 2024 Roadway Sealing Project
The following complete street/safety features are proposed for all streets within the 2024
Roadway Sealing limits:
1. Pedestrian Crossing Treatments: Install high-visibility crosswalks at all existing and
proposed new marked pedestrian crosswalks.
2. Intersection Daylighting: Remove obstructions to lines-of-sight at all marked and
unmarked crosswalks to increase pedestrian visibility and safety at intersection corners and
midblock crossings. This is generally accomplished through vegetation trimming and
installing red curb paint and/or signage to prohibit parking at intersection corners adjacent
to crosswalks. California Assembly Bill 413 restricts parking within 20 feet of any marked
or unmarked crosswalk, with enforcement permitted starting in 2025 regardless of whether
signs or curb markings are present. The City will be proactively implementing curb
markings and signed parking restrictions where appropriate as part of annual paving
projects.
Active Transportation Committee Agenda Item 2, November 16, 2023 Page 3
Grand Avenue (Monterey Street to Slack Street)
Complete street improvements are proposed for Grand Avenue to improve active transportation
facilities and safety for all road users. These improvements are part of a Tier 2 project identified
in the ATP. The most prominent modification proposed for Grand Avenue is a five-lane to three-
lane road diet between Slack Street and Monterey Street. Road diets are one of the U.S. Department
of Transportation’s proven safety countermeasures and have consistently demonstrated
effectiveness in reducing illegal speeding, reducing crash frequency and severity. The City has
implemented several successful road diets at other streets, such as South Street and Laurel Lane,
where traffic demand did not require the excess lane capacity that was previously provided. In
addition to a road diet, additional design elements proposed for Grand Avenue include:
1. Installation of protected bike lanes where on-street parking does not currently exist, with a
preference for concrete curb separation as funding allows.
2. Addition of striped buffers on both sides of bike lanes where on-street parking exists.
3. Installation of bike lane crossing enhancements at intersections, including green conflict
markings, additional warning signage, and setback/protected corners where feasible.
4. Restriction of turning maneuvers (westbound through and left-turn) at the Grand/Loomis
Street intersection to address ongoing broadside collision trends identified in City’s Traffic
Safety Report.
5. Installation of enhanced pedestrian/bicycle crossings on Grand Avenue at McCollum Street
and Mill Street as funding and right-of-way allow to improve crossing opportunities and
access to existing transit stops on each side of the street.
6. Addition of a bike box at the southbound Grand Avenue approach to Monterey Street to
improve bicycle access continuing south to the Andrews Street pedestrian/bicycle bridge.
7. Upgrade existing bicycle detection at Andrews Street intersection approach to improve
ability for bicyclists to actuate Grand/Monterey traffic signal.
Grand Avenue currently carries an average daily traffic volume of 10,300 veh/day north of US
101, and approximately half that volume south of US 101, which is well within the thresholds
recommended for road diets per state and federal guidelines (up to 18,000-25,000 veh/day). With
that said, Cal Poly hosts a limited number of special events each year that generate a higher traffic
demands. The proposed road diet design would retain sufficient clear width to allow the roadway
to be temporarily configured back to two lanes in each direction using temporary traffic control
channelizers and signage to handle traffic demands during special events.
While the ATP ultimately plans for protected bicycle lanes on both sides of Grand Avenue, this
would require removing all on-street parking in order to provide adequate lines-of-sight at
intersections/driveways and to maintain width needed for fire access. Full removal of on-street
parking would require significant public outreach, consideration for commercial
deliveries/loading, and analysis of potential parking spillover impacts to adjacent neighborhoods.
The Transportation Division is currently understaffed and does not currently have sufficient
capacity to take on the planning and outreach that would be required for such an endeavor while
meeting the schedule for the 2024 Roadway Sealing project. For this reason, staff is proposing to
install protected bicycle lanes where there is no on-street parking at this time, while preserving the
potential to explore additional protected bike lane installations as a future project.

Johnson Avenue (Bishop to Orcutt)
Repaving Johnson Avenue between San Luis Drive and Laurel Lane was initially part of the 2023
Arterials Paving project. However, this segment was deferred (a) due to a conflicting utility project
north of Bishop Street, and (b) to allow more time to monitor effectiveness of a pilot road diet
installed Summer 2023 on Johnson between Bishop Street and Laurel Lane. Johnson Avenue north
of Bishop Street remains deferred for pavement maintenance until the planned utility project is
constructed. Johnson Avenue between Bishop Street and Laurel Lane, as well as the segment south
of Laurel Lane to Orcutt Road are now proposed for resealing as part of the 2024 Roadway Sealing
project.
Key project elements on this facility include:
1. Permanent Johnson Avenue Road Diet: The Johnson Avenue Road Diet pilot project
was installed in 2023 and included reducing the number of lanes from two in each
direction (four total) to one in each direction plus a center turn lane (three total). The pilot
project identified goals of (a) reducing driving speeds, and (b) increasing comfort and
safety for all travelers. After installing the pilot project, prevailing speeds have decreased
from 43 miles per hour (MPH) to 37 MPH and <1% of vehicles are traveling 10 MPH or
more above the 35 MPH speed limit (93% reduction with road diet). One traffic collision
with minor injuries was reported within the road diet limits in the four months since
installation, compared to 13 collisions in the previous five years (6 injuries; 3 severe
injuries). Following a successful pilot installation, the temporary road diet between
Bishop Street and Laurel Lane is proposed to be made permanent, with addition of
permanent thermoplastic pavement markings.
2. Johnson/Sydney Concrete Median Refuge: Replace the temporary rubber curb median
with a permanent concrete median refuge with landscaping at the Sydney Street school
crossing (on Johnson both sides of intersection).
Active Transportation Committee Agenda Item 2, November 16, 2023 Page 8
3. Southwood Drive Intersection Traffic Calming: Installing traffic calming measures to
slow turning speeds, shorten pedestrian crossing exposure and improve pedestrian
visibility.
Figure 5 below shows a typical cross section of Johnson Avenue both before the road-diet and
with the road diet.

Pavement Area 1 (East City Neighborhoods)
Key project elements in Pavement Area 1 North include:
Toro Street Neighborhood Greenway (ATP Tier 2 Project): Install greenway pavement
legends, guide signage, and traffic calming measures (where warranted based on existing speeds)
along Toro Street between Phillips Lane and Pacific Street to encourage a low-stress, comfortable
environment for those walking and biking. Proposed improvements also include modifications to
the existing RRFB crossing at Marsh/Toro Street to allow bicycles to activate the RRFB system

without the need to dismount. Additional crossing improvements currently in construction that will
also benefit the proposed Toro Street Neighborhood Greenway include a new neighborhood traffic
circle at Toro/Buchon and a new bicycle/pedestrian crossing at Monterey/Toro, which will include
raised medians, hi-vis crosswalk markings, and RRFBs with push buttons accessible to pedestrians
and cyclists.
The following streets are within Pavement Area 1 and include future projects identified in the ATP,
but are recommended for deferral for the reasons discussed below:
1. Pepper Street Protected Bikeway (ATP Tier 1 Project): The ATP calls for installation
of an on-street, two-way protected bikeway on the east side of Pepper Street parallel to the
railroad tracks between Mill Street and Marsh Street as a short-term (Tier 1) project, with
plans to endeavor towards the ultimate plan to extend the Railroad Safety Trail as a fully-
separated off-street shared-use path along this segment as a long-term Tier 3 project. After
further field review of the existing site constraints, staff is recommending deferral of the
two-way protected bikeway installation from the 2024 Roadway Sealing project for the
following reasons:
o Pepper Street has very limited streetlighting along this segment. Staff would prefer
to install additional safety lighting prior to or as part of the bikeway installation,
but does not have sufficient resources to fund lighting and design/coordinate new
electrical service in advance of the 2024 Roadway Sealing project. Financial
limitations will be particularly constraining if concrete curb separation is preferred
for the protected bikeways on Grand Avenue.
o Pepper Street between Mill and Palm Streets is slightly narrower than the rest of
the route and would require either roadway widening or full removal of parking on
both sides of the street to accommodate the protected bikeway.
While Pepper Street is identified as a Tier 1 project, this route currently has relatively little
motor vehicle traffic, is generally comfortable for most riders as a shared street and has a
very steep incline in the northbound direction between Monterey and Mill Street, which
may limit the potential benefit of accelerating the protected bikeway at this time. Based on
staff’s observations, the most challenging aspect of cycling on Pepper Street currently is
crossing Monterey Street; however, an enhanced pedestrian/bicycle crossing is already
planned for installation at the Pepper/Monterey intersection as part of the 2023 Arterials
Paving project, which includes hi-vis markings, raised medians, and Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). Staff’s recommendation is to defer installation of the protected
bikeway until a later date when safety lighting can be installed and additional funding is
available.
2. Toro Street Neighborhood Greenway (ATP Tier 2 Project): Install greenway pavement
legends, guide signage, and traffic calming measures (where warranted based on existing
speeds) along Toro Street between Phillips Lane and Monterey Street to encourage a low-
stress, comfortable environment for those walking and biking. Proposed improvements
also include modifications to the existing RRFB crossing at Marsh/Toro Street to allow
bicycles to activate the RRFB system without the need to dismount and enhanced
pedestrian/bicycle crossing at Higuera/Toro. Additional crossing improvements currently
in construction that will also benefit the proposed Toro Street Neighborhood Greenway
Active Transportation Committee Agenda Item 2, November 16, 2023 Page 10
include a new neighborhood traffic circle at Toro/Buchon and a new bicycle/pedestrian
crossing at Monterey/Toro, which will include raised medians, hi-vis crosswalk markings,
and RRFBs with push buttons accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.
3. Mill Street Neighborhood Greenway: Originally, the full extent of Mill Street from
Chorro to Grand was planned to be included in the 2024 Roadway Sealing Project, which
would have allowed an opportunity for implementation of the Mill Street Neighborhood
Greenway. The Greenway is identified as a Tier 1 ATP project, with future plans for traffic
calming measures to bring speeds into the ideal range for a shared street. Existing traffic
volumes on Mill are already within the range recommended for a shared street/greenway
per NACTO and FHWA guidance. There is also an active Neighborhood Traffic
Management application in the queue for Mill Street, advocating for traffic calming
measures. However, due to a conflicting sewer line replacement project planned for
2024/25, the segments of Mill Street west of Pepper Street have been removed from the
2024 Roadway Sealing project and will likely be deferred for sealing until 2026. At this
time, staff is not recommending any changes to Mill Street until the sewer line replacement
is complete. If the ATC and/or other community members have a strong interest in
accelerating the planned greenway improvements prior to the next paving project, staff
could potentially continue design work for greenway improvements and explore these
improvements in to the planned 2024/25 sewer replacement project if funding allows.
Pavement Area 8 (University Neighborhoods)
There is only one ATP project identified within Pavement Area 8:
Highland Drive Bike Lane: Install a bike lane on a short stretch of Highland Drive just west of
State Route 1 where the roadway climbs a steep grade.
In addition, several Neighborhood Traffic Management (NTM) requests have been received from
residents for streets in Pavement Area 8 at the following locations:
1. Highland Drive between Patricia Drive and Santa Rosa Street
2. Patricia Drive between Twin Ridge Drive and Highland Drive
3. Jeffrey Drive between Highland Drive and Westmont Avenue
4. Rancho Drive between Westmont and Clover Drive
5. Westmont Avenue between Patricia Drive and Jeffrey Drive
City staff are in the process of collecting speed and traffic volume data on these neighborhood
streets to evaluate if traffic calming measures are warranted based the City’s adopted volume/speed
thresholds. If traffic calming is warranted, staff will send a mail-in ballot to adjacent properties to
inform residents and gauge support for proposed measures. Typical elements included with NTM
projects speed humps, speed tables, traffic circles, and traffic diverters. The preferred design
elements will be selected after reviewing traffic data, soliciting input from the neighborhood, and
conferring with the San Luis Obispo Fire Department. If funding allows, staff will pursue
installation of these measures as part of the 2024 Roadway sealing work.
Active Transportation Committee Agenda Item 2, November 16, 2023 Page 11
Pavement Area 7 (Northwest of Downtown)
Resurfacing sections of Broad Street, Chorro Street, and Murray Avenue was initially part of the
2022 Roadway Sealing project. However, these facilities were deferred due to conflicts with
construction of a new sewer line and the North Chorro Greenway.
Key project elements on these facilities include:
1. Chorro Street Bicycle Lane (ATP Tier 2 Project): Installing northbound bicycle lane
between Mission Street and Meinecke Avenue.
2. Broad Street NTM: Identifying and installing traffic calming measures on Broad Street
between Mission Street and US 101 to encourage low vehicle speeds and discourage cut-
through traffic. Additional discussion of the NTM process and elements is described in
the Pavement Area 8 (University Neighborhoods) section above.

Project Costs and Funding
This project currently has a budget of approximately $5 million. This includes allocation of
$200,000 from the Active Transportation Plan Implementation account for addition of ATP
elements. Most of the budget is from the Street Reconstruction and Resurfacing Capital
Improvement Project Account, which includes a mix of approximately $1.1 million in SB 1 (Gas
Tax) funding and $4.9 million in general funds. The current preliminary project cost estimate is
approximately $4.9 million, which is within the total budget; however, detailed designs have not
yet been completed and final cost estimates may vary.
Next Steps
Following review and input from the ATC, staff will refine final project designs. A community
meeting is tentatively planned for January 2024 to solicit further input from the community. Staff
plans to return to the Active Transportation Committee later in winter 2024 for additional review

once the engineering plans and specifications are further developed. The project is scheduled to
go to the City Council in spring 2024 to approve final plans and authorize solicitation of
construction bids. Construction of the project is planned to begin in summer 2024.
Recommendations:
1. Review the 2024 Roadway Sealing Plan and current design proposals and provide input
to staff on the transportation elements to guide further development of the Plan.
2. Provide input and recommend priority of streets to receive funding, in the event the entire
project is not funded and certain streets need to be deferred to a later date.
