SUBJECT: PATRICIA DRIVE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
(NTM) ACTION PLAN
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the Patricia Drive NTM Action Plan that calls for the installation of a
centerline stripe on Patricia Drive between Foothill Boulevard and Highland Drive and an all-way
stop with curb extensions at Patricia Drive and Craig Way.
DISCUSSION
Background. During the past year, residents of the Patricia Drive neighborhood and City
Transportation staff have been working on a plan to: 1) slow traffic speeds on Patricia Drive
between Foothill Boulevard and Highland Drive; 2) improve the pedestrian crossing of Patricia
Drive at Craig Way (the primary access to Bishop's Peak/Teach Elementary School); and 3)
increase sight distance at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way. This effort has resulted
in an NTM Action Plan that calls for the installation of a centerline stripe on Patricia Street between
Foothill Boulevard and Highland Drive and an all-way stop with curb extensions (also know as
bulbouts) at the intersection of Patricia Street and Craig Way(see Attachment 1).
Patricia Drive between Foothill Boulevard and Highland Drive is designated as a Residential
Collector Street on City and Federal maps and is posted at 30 mph based on the 85'b percentile
speed of motorists traveling the corridor. The 85" percentile speed is the speed at which 85% of
motorists are driving at or below. In the vicinity of Craig Way, the posted speed limit is 25 mph
when children are present because it is in a school zone. School crossing guards assist children
crossing Patricia Drive at Craig Way; however the guards find the work difficult due to the speed
and volume of traffic. Members of the Action Team would prefer to have the speed limit on
Patricia Drive designated at 25 mph throughout the corridor, however, because the street is
designated as a Collector Street on Federal maps, the City is limited in its ability to lower the speed
limit much below the 85' percentile speed. It is the Action Team's hope to install traffic calming
measures that will lower motorist's speeds on the street so the speed limit can be reduced at a later
time.
Consistent with the City's Neighborhood Traffic Management Guidelines (1998), the following
steps were taken to develop this draft plan.
a. Initial Neighborhood Contacts: In April 2002, the Public Works Department received
sufficient requests for action from Patricia Drive households to initiate the NTM process for
the neighborhood. .

b. Survey of Traffic Conditions: In May 2002, the Transportation staff completed its analysis
of traffic conditions on Patricia Drive and concluded that motorists are driving faster than
stipulated by City NTM standards. The 85' percentile speed ranged from 33-37 miles per
hour. These prevailing speeds exceed the posted 30 mph speed limit on Patricia Drive and
are not acceptable to the neighborhood.
C. Petition Circulation: In October 2002, ballots were mailed to residents in the Patricia Drive
neighborhood asking if they supported the preparation of an NTM Plan to address traffic
speeding and sight distance concerns. Over 25%of the area's total households indicated that
they supported such a planning effort, meeting the minimum support required to proceed in
the NTM process.
d. Initial Concept Development: Throughout 2003, staff and interested Patricia Drive .
neighborhood residents (the "Action Team's met to discuss options for slowing traffic speed,
improving the pedestrian crossing of Patricia Street and increasing the sight distance at the
intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way. The Team chose the installation of a centerline
stripe and an all-way stop at Patricia Drive and Craig Way as the preferred solution. Other
options that were discussed included: additional stop signs, speed tables, on-street parking
removal, flashing warning signs and increased enforcement. Action Team members chose
the striping/stop sign solution because: 1) the signage and striping could be implemented
quickly; 2) their installation costs fall within the budget established by the NTM Guidelines
therefore there would be no out of pocket cost to residents; and 3) they anticipate that their
proposed traffic calming devices will not shift significant amounts of traffic onto other local
streets such as Cerra Romauldo and Jeffery.
The Action Team did not propose the installation of curb extensions (or bulbouts) because of
their cost, however staff is recommending their installation in conjunction with the centerline
stripe and stop sign installation. Curb extensions will decrease the roadway crossing distance
for pedestrians. Additionally, stop sign posts can be installed within the curb extensions
making them more visible to motorists (see Attachment 2). Staff recommends the inclusion
of curb extensions for enhanced pedestrian safety and stop sign compliance through improved
crosswalk and intersection visibility.
e. Neighborhood Meetings: Residents and homeowners were invited to neighborhood
meetings held on March 19 and June 11,2003 at the Nativity of Our Lady Catholic Church to
discuss the NTM Plan for Patricia Street. Over 20 people attended the first meeting and nine
people the second. After the Action Plan was drafted, a third meeting was held in July on
Patricia Drive at Craig Way to answer questions about the proposed traffic calming devices.
f. Distribution of Action Plan and Ballot: On September 15, 2003, City staff mailed the
Draft Action Plan and voting ballot to all households within the study area. Of the 89
households within the study area, 48 (54%) households supported the traffic calming
proposal and 7 (7.8%)households did not support the proposal. A minimum of 51% support
� -a
Council Agenda Report.Patricia Drive NTM Action Plan

is needed for the proposal to be forwarded to the Council. Households supporting the traffic
calming proposal live on the following streets:
Street Households Households
Voting For Plan Voting Against Plan
Patricia Drive 24 0
Craig Way 8 2
Jaycee Drive 5 1
Highland Drive 4 2
Christina Way 4 1
Warren Way 3 0
Cerro Romauldo 0 1
48 7
Bishop's Peak/Teach Elementary School was also mailed an Action Plan and ballot to determine
their support for the traffic calming devices near the school's entry. The school's Principal returned
the ballot voting in support of the proposed Action Plan.
Evaluation of Alternatives. All traffic management plans have positive and negative aspects.
Concerning this particular situation, staff supports the traffic calming measures proposed by the
Action Team because they will have some effect on slowing traffic and appear to be acceptable to
neighborhood residents. Other alternatives considered by staff and the Action Team include:
a. Speed Tables were considered but dismissed because they would impact motorists who were
traveling within the speed limit.
b. Additional Stop Signs were considered.but not chosen because they would not be used for
their intended purpose as traffic control devices, and therefore some motorists might not fully
stop at the controlled intersection creating the potential for a hazardous situation.
C. On-Street Parking Removal was considered but not proposed because it was thought that
traffic speeds might increase with the additional travel lane width created from on-street
parking removal.
d. Flashing Warning Signs were considered but dismissed because it was felt that their
effectiveness would wane once motorists got used to seeing them.
e. Enhanced Police Enforcement was discussed and determined not to be effective in
sustaining lower traffic speeds. Police enforcement is effective in curtailing flagrant
violations of the vehicle code but not effective in changing the every day driving behavior of
motorists. Also, enhanced enforcement would be costly to sustain.

Plan Monitoring. The Action Plan calls for traffic conditions on Patricia Drive between Foothill
Boulevard and Highland Drive to be monitored for at least one year after the traffic calming devices
are installed. If the data suggests that the traffic calming devices have not been effective at
reducing speeds, then the neighborhood and City Council could consider alternative methods for
slowing traffic. If the traffic calming measures result in an 85' percentile speed at 25 mph or
below,the speed limit designation can be reduced to 25 mph.
Arguments in Opposition to the Action Plan. Seven households voted to oppose the Action
Plan. Comments provided on their ballots include:
"The problem is not speed but the narrowness of the street for the volume of traffic."
Response: The Action Team believes that speed, the narrowness of the street and traffic volumes
are all concerns, however they realize that volumes can only be reduced if O'Conner Way is opened
once again to through traffic. The narrowness of the street (33 feet curb to curb) can be attributed
to several vehicle side swipes that the neighborhood speaks of, however making the vehicle travel
path wider(by removing on-street parking)may actually increase travel speeds.
"The bulbouts on Patricia and Craig Way will make it impossible to turn onto Patricia."
Response: The bulbouts have been designed to accommodate trucks (including school buses and
fire engines)turning in and out of Craig Way.
"The double yellow line on Jaycee Drive makes it impossible to drive within the designated lane.
The same would be true if Patricia is double-lined This measure has not slowed the traffic speed
on Jaycee Drive. "
Response: A centerline stripe on Patricia will provide for two 10-foot wide travel lanes and two
6.5-foot wide parking lanes. The goal of the centerline stripe is to cause motorists to drive slower
as they travel within the confined travel lane. An imaginary centerline of the roadway exists today.
However, some of the vehicles traveling along Patricia drive over this centerline to achieve comfort
and travel at higher speeds. Staff does not believe that striping the centerline will promote a hazard
along Patricia.
"One would prefer less change and more citations. Also, I have observed a lot of drivers who roll
through stop signs both in this neighborhood and on Chorro below Foothill. "
Response: The Action Team considered increased enforcement, but did not include it in their final
recommendation because it is costly and may not be effective in sustaining lower traffic speeds.
"Put the speed limit at 25 mph for the whole street".
Response: Because Patricia Drive is a Collector Street, the posted speed limit must be based on the
85`h percentile speed of motorists traveling through the corridor. If the Action Plan is effective in
lowering speeds on Patricia Drive, the speed limit can be lowered to 25 mph.
`Installation of a School Crossing Sign near the intersection of Highland and Patricia was agreed
to at the last Action Team meeting, but is not included as part of the final design. "
a -�
I
Council Agenda Report:Patricia Drive NTM Action Plan
Page 5
Response: Staff is processing this citizen request outside of the Patricia Drive NTM project.
School signs will be reviewed for conformance with State of California recommendations.
"Since the bulbouts may not be installed due to the costs of this item, I believe the next best
alternative is the establishment of a no parking zone throughout this entire intersection. Reducing
the parking near the intersection will improve sight distance and traffic flow."
Response: If Council does not approve the installation of bulbouts at the Patricia Drive/Craig Way
intersection, staff would recommend restricting parking near the intersection to increase visibility.
CONCURRENCES
The Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the Action Plan proposal and support the
neighborhood's request to"traffic calm"their street.
FISCAL IMPACT
The project will be paid for with monies from the Neighborhood Traffic Management account
400.53901.99501 that currently has a balance of$40,115.31. The NTM Guidelines establishes an
allowance of$140.00 per household for traffic management devices. If a project is estimated to
cost more than the funding allowance, the cost overrun is equally divided between the City and the
study area households. The Patricia Drive study area consists of 89 households; making$12,460 of
City funding available for the design and installation of the centerline stripe and all-way stop with
curb extensions. The Action Plan estimates the project costs at approximately $20;000 with the
inclusion of curb extensions (and$2;370 without),however if the work is completed in conjunction
with a City project installing sidewalks and handicap ramps currently underway, a significant cost
savings will occur. Staff recommends that the traffic calming devices be installed in conjunction
with the City sidewalk project to save money and that any additional cost required for the curb
extensions be paid for by the Neighborhood Traffic Management Account because it will benefit
students at Bishop's Peak/Teach elementary school and the larger neighborhood beyond the
Patricia Drive NTM boundaries.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council may:
1. Decide not to adopt a NTM Plan for Patricia Drive.
2. Modify the proposed plan to include alternative features.
3. Continue consideration and direct staff and/or the neighborhood Action Team to consider
alternative traffic calming features.

m Patricia Neighborhood Traffic Management
Draft Action Plan (August, 2003)
Background Statement
In April of 2002,several residents in the Patricia Drive neighborhood contacted the San Luis
Obispo Public Works Department voicing their concerns for traffic speeds, stop sign
violations, and sight distance limitations on Patricia Drive between Foothill Boulevard and
Highland Drive. Public Works staff surveyed collision history and speeds along this corridor
in May 2002, confirming that the predominant speed traveled on Patricia Street was
moderately in excess of the 30mph posted speed limit.
In October 2002,ballots were mailed to residents of the Patricia Drive neighborhood asking
if they supported the preparation of an "Action Plan" to address the speeding and sight
distance limitations. Over 25%of the households indicated that they supported the planning
effort,meeting the minimum support required to initiate the planning process.
An Action Team was formed and meetings were held with neighborhood residents and
Public Works staff to develop a cost effective solution to resolve the issues identified by the
residents. Meetings were posted in The Tribune Newspaper and notices were mailed via US
mail.
At the first Action Team meeting on April 19, 2003, approximately 17 households attended
with 10 expressing interest in being members of the Action Team. At the second meeting on
June I Ith, 2003 the Action Team established goals and considered several alternatives for
slowing traffic, improving pedestrian crossing at Craig Way, and increasing site distance at
Patricia Street and Craig Way intersection..The Action Team's preferred solution was the
installation of a centerline stripe on Patricia Drive from Foothill Boulevard to Highland
Drive and the installation of an all-way stop at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig
Way.
A minimum of 51% support of the study area households (one vote per household) is
required to approve the plan. If approved by the neighborhood, the Action Plan will be
submitted to the City Council for review&adoption.
Statement of Objectives
The Action Team (made up of neighborhood residents in the Patricia Drive neighborhood
and City staff) agreed-upon goals that form the basis for this neighborhood traffic
management plan. Those include:
1. Curtail speeding on Patricia Drive between Foothill Boulevard and Highland
Drive.
Speed surveys conducted on Patricia Drive indicated that the 85`x' percentile speed
ranged from 33 to 37 miles per hour. The 85 h percentile speed is the speed at which
85% of motorists are driving at or below and is one of the factors used in the
determination of speed limit designation. These prevailing speeds exceed the posted
30mph speed limit on Patricia Drive and are not acceptable to the neighborhood.
2. Improve pedestrian crossing at Craig Way.
Under existing traffic conditions it is difficult for pedestrians to cross Patricia Drive at
Craig Way(Entry to Bishop Peak/Pacheco Elementary School). Field surveys concluded
that the pedestrian crossings at Craig Way do not meet City crosswalk standards. The
existing marked crosswalks are narrower than the 3m standard and corresponding
signage is faded. If stop signs are to be installed at this off-set intersection, crosswalks
will have to be moved to avoid a mid intersection pedestrian crossing.
3. Increase the sight distance at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way.
Sight distance surveys conducted at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way
concluded that on-street parking has the potential of obstructing the necessary sight
distance for motorists turning onto Patricia Drive from Craig Way. Although removing
parking would improve sight distance, this street is heavily parked and residents do not
support parking removal.
4. Develop an Action Plan that can be implemented within the budget.
The Action Team felt that in order to ensure the required 51% approval from the study
area households, the Action Plan should not require any monetary commitment on the
part of the residents. Therefore the cost of the Action Plan should not exceed the City's
funding allowance of$140 per household.
5. Develop an Action Plan that can be implemented quickly.
The Action Team is particularly concerned that excessive speeds 'will continue to
worsen with the commencement of the Cal Poly and Questa Fall quarters. Therefore,
they are seeking an Action Plan that can be implemented quickly.
6. Achieve a solution that does not shift significant amounts of traffic onto other local
streets.
The neighborhood has identified Jeffery and Cerro Romauldo as possible streets that
could be impacted by the placement of said traffic control measures. To confirm traffic
is not diverted to these streets, City staff will take traffic counts on Jeffery and Cerro
Romauldo before and after the traffic control are installed. If traffic volumes show a
significant increase,modifications to the Action Plan will be necessary.

Traffic Calming Options/Preferred Solution
The Action Team considered several solutions such as stop signs,center line stripes,speed
tables, flashing warning signs,parking removal,and increased enforcement The Action
Team dismissed speed tables because they would impact motorists who were traveling
within the speed limit as well as those who were speeding.Parking removal was dismissed
because wider lanes could foster higher speeds. Ultimately the Action Team decided on the
combination of stop signs at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way along with a
center line stripe on Patricia Drive from Highland Drive to Foothill Boulevard.The Action
Team did not propose the installation of bulbouts(or curb extensions)because of their cost,
however staff is recommending their installation in conjunction with the centerline stripe&
stop installation for enhanced pedestrian safety&stop sign compliance through improved
crosswalk and intersection visibility.
1. Center Line Stripe
The primary purpose of a center line stripe is to establish travel lanes and eliminate the
propensity of on-coming sideswipes and head-on collisions. Center line stripes can be
effective visual traffic calming devices,creating the perception of enclosure to
encourage lower speeds.However,installing center line stripes on a narrow roadway
might foster sideswipes with parked vehicles. Since these sideswipes are already
occurring, it is the goal of the Action Team to slow traffic on Patricia Drive by
establishing two narrow travel lanes with a center fine stripe.
2. Stop Signs
The primary purpose of stop signs is to establish the right of way for traffic at an
intersection. Stop signs are effective when conditions wan-ant their installation.
However,when warrants are not met,motorists often do not comply and rear-end
collisions are more likely to occur. While the intersection of Craig Way and Patricia
Drive does not meet wan-ants.for the installation of an all way stop control,the Action
Team is recommending their installation as a way to slow vehicle traffic and improve
the pedestrian's ability to cross the street at this intersection. Stop signs would be located
within bulbouts(see description below)which places them closer to the travel lane thus
improving their visibility. Because the Bulbouts were not proposed by the Action Team,
they have been included as an alternate traffic calming device for funding purposes.
3. Bulbouts
The primary purpose of bulbouts is to narrow the roadway width between curb lines
thereby improving pedestrian accessibility and slowing traffic. Bulbouts can be effective
measures for slowing traffic and increasing pedestrian safety by decreasing the
pedestrian crossing distance and creating the perception of enclosure to encourage lower
speeds and compliance with stop controlled intersections. Bulbouts are located outside
of the vehicle travel lane and in the area where on-street parking is currently located.
Although bulbouts were not included by the Action Team as an essential Action Plan
feature,staff recommends their inclusion at the intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig
Way in conjunction with stop signs to improve crosswalk and intersection visibility.
Cost Estimates& Funding
Neighborhood Traffic Management Guidelines establish a City paid funding.allowance of
$140 per each household within the study area for the installation of traffic management
devices.The Patricia Drive neighborhood is comprised of 89 households; making$12,460
of City funding available for the design and installation of an all-way stop at the intersection
of Craig and Patricia,a center line stripe from Highland to Foothill,and bulbouts at the
intersection of Craig and Patricia. The cost to complete this work'is estimated at
approximately$20,000. Because one of the Action Plan's objectives is to not require any
monetary commitment from the residents,the stop signs and centerline stripe will be
identified as the primary order of work and each bulbout will be bid out as a separate item
and only those bulbouts that can be included within the$12,460 budget will be constructed..

Implementation/Performance Monitoring
The traffic calming measures are proposed to be installed at one time,rather than in several
phases. After traffic calming measures have been installed along the Patricia Drive corridor,
staff will continue to monitor and test the performance of the alterations.After six months,
Patricia Drive will be surveyed for changes in collision patterns and prevailing speeds. Staff
will look for potential impacts from the alterations made,such as rear-end collisions at the
intersection of Patricia Drive and Craig Way and sideswipe collisions with parked cars
along the Patricia Drive Corridor.If analysis reveals further safety issues,NTM alterations
may be reversed If the analysis concludes that traffic speeds have not decreased,the
neighborhood may wish to pursue other traffic calming measures to reduce speeds.If
alterations result in an 85`h percentile speed at 25mph or below,the speed limit designation
may be reduced to 25mph.

San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
Dear Mayor Romero and City Council Members:
The Neighborhoods North of Foothill (NNOF) community organization
has endorsed and supports the application of residents of the Patricia Drive
area for a Traffic Management Action Plan.
We are aware of the impact to the health and safety of area residents by
the increase in the amount of traffic and the disregard for posted speed
limits on Patricia Drive between Highland Drive and Foothill Boulevard.
The safety of area children traveling to and from Bishop and Teach
Schools is also of concern to our members.
The Traffic Management Action Plan proposed by the area residents is a
sensible response to the problem. As you will recall, the City Council
recently approved a change in the designation of upper Patricia Drive to a
neighborhood street,thus allowing for a reduced speed limit on that
section of the street. This will compliment the action proposed by the
Traffic Management Action Plan for lower Patricia.
We would also like to commend City Transportation Staff members Peggy
Mandeville and Jake Hudson for the helpful, intelligent guidance they
have provided area residents in developing this Action Plan.
Sincerely yours,
