SUBJECT: BIENNIAL TRAFFIC OPERATIONS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the 2009 Biennial Traffic Operations Report and associated mitigation strategies.
DISCUSSION
Background
The City has been focusing on improving the operations and safety of City streets, roads and
circulation infrastructure for the last ten years.. Part of this focus has been the establishment of
the City's Annual Traffic Safety Report and its measured progress towards improving traffic
safety on City streets. Congestion and operations is the parallel field of traffic engineering that
strives to improve efficiency of the roadway system for all users and tie improvements to
measured results. Congestion relief has been a major Council goal in many of the previous
Financial Plans developed after significant public input. In an effort to implement this goal, the
2009/11 Financial Plan specifically identifies the completion of the first bi-biennial Traffic
Operations Report (TOR). As a component of a transportation congestion relief program, the
primary purpose of the TOR is to:
I. Identify and track traffic volume and congestion trends on City streets.
2. Determine the locations within the City that have the highest levels of congestion in
comparison to similar locations.
3. Identify if mitigation strategies should be considered for these congested locations, and if
so, what the strategies should be.
4. Evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures implemented in the previous 24 month
period.
Traffic Operations Report(TOR) Overview
The TOR evaluates operations during the period from 2006 to 2008. Congestion and operational
data along with the corresponding analysis for the initial TOR report was compiled and completed
by the Public Works Department. Because this was the first operations report developed in quite
some time, the effort was significant due to the need to compile large amounts of historic data, sift
that data into similar data sets that could be compared and then identify understandable measures of
effectiveness for reporting and tracking purposes.
The TOR analyzes and concludes that citywide average daily traffic has risen by approximately 2%
and citywide average peak hour traffic has risen by approximately 9% in the last two years.
CAR Biennial Traffic Operations Report Page 2
Citywide average delay, the primary measure of traffic congestion, has also risen by approximately
9%for peak hour periods and by approximately 4% for daily periods.
Similar to the Traffic Safety Report, the TOR makes recommendations for altering or continuing to
monitoring the five most critical locations of each intersection and street segment classification.
Some of the locations are listed here (Higuera & Los Osos Valley, Madonna & Los Osos Valley,
Foothill & California, Osos &Buchon, Higuera& Pismo, California (Campus—Taft), Osos (Marsh
—South), and Los Osos Valley(Higuera—Madonna)),and are more fully explained in the TOR.
Future Efforts
Since this is the first ever Traffic Operations Report developed by the City there are a lot of
issues that will need future focus to improve the report to be an effective tool for establishing
congestion mitigations and projects. One will be establishing citywide objectives for congestion
levels, which will be a significant future effort as we gain additional experience in the tracking
and reporting of operational benchmarks for the City. Another will be comparing operating
statistics to congestion management goals and objectives.
State controlled (Caltrans) intersections and segments were not included in this initial TOR, but the
intent is to incorporate those facilities into the report as staff continues to refine the process of
evaluation and work along the State facilities can be identified and coordinated.
FISCAL IMPACT
All of the mitigation strategies identified the TOR will either be funded from the 2009-11
Financial Plan through the one time allocation of$165,000 SHA grant dollars or as part of other
improvement projects which already have allocated funding. It is however important to note that
funding for this program is made possible through a one time grant allocation and once these
dollars are exhausted other funding sources will need to be secured in order to sustain the
program. In order to be successful, a prolonged commitment both financially and through staff
resources is necessary to properly implement operational improvements and reduce congestion.
Continued annual expenditure commitments will be necessary (even in difficult financial times)
if it is the goal of the City and community to reduce vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle congestion
along our roadways. These projects will be brought forward for Council to approve as they are
identified.

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the City of San Luis Obispo, Public Works
Department's Biennial Traffic Operations Report. Traffic congestion relief continues to be a
priority of the community and in 2009 this goal was once again adopted as a major Council
Goal. This biennial traffic operations program will become one of the City's primary tools for
identifying highly congested locations and pursuing corrective measures that will reduce traffic
congestion and improve the overall quality of life for our citizens.
Much like the annual Traffic Safety Report the intent of the Biennial traffic operations report is
to analyze the City's primary intersections and corridors, identifying and ranking the highest
congested locations, implement measures to relieve congestion, and improving traffic flow and
quality of life for the general public. Unfortunately, little historical data has been recorded for
City wide congestion levels. The first year an average citywide intersection delay was
calculated was in 2006 which was 13.6 seconds. From 2006/07 to 2008/09 citywide
intersection delay increased overall by approximately 9%. Historical citywide traffic volumes
on the other hand have been documented quite well, from 1999 to 2007 average peak hour
volumes have increased by approximately 4.5% per year. Through this new program the City
hopes to slow or reverse this congestion trend.
I would like to thank Tim Bochum, Jake Hudson, Chris Overby, Matt Crisp, Bryan Wheeler,
Mateo Echabarne, Jessie Holzer and other members of the Public Works Department for their
initiative and efforts in compiling the necessary information and preparing this report.
Sincerely,
Jay Walter
Public Works Director

executive SUMMARY
In December 2008, the City initiated its first comprehensive traffic operations program aimed
at reducing traffic congestion at the most congested locations in the City. The intent of the
program is to biennially review City Streets and intersections to establish benchmarks for
efficiency and to determine what locations should receive priority for improvements. The
program concentrates on identifying intersections and roadway segments which are
experiencing high levels of delay and then prioritizing these locations based upon vehicle delay
during peak hour periods. Intersection and segment operations are then evaluated using
Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies in conjunction with operations simulation
utilizing Synchro/SimTraffic. These analyses will occur biennially based on traffic counts, the
City-wide traffic model, and other studies. It is hoped that annual report cards ca be developed
to inform the council and community on effectiveness of our traffic system and what can be
done to improve it.
Mitigation measures for problematic locations for calendar years.2008/09 has been identified
and is summarized in this report. The Biennial Traff c Operations Report will be prepared
every other year following a biennial City-wide data collection project. The report will review
and report on City traffic operations in order to reduce traffic delay, improve traffic safety, and
maintain adequate levels of service for our City residents, business owners and visitors. This
report does not include an analysis of State Highways within the City (Hwy 101, Hwy 1, &
Hwy 227) at this time. Depending on the cooperation of CalTrans, an analysis of these
facilities are planned to be included in future reports.
Although traffic volume trends differ from area to area within the City (with some corridors
experiencing volume reductions while others are experiencing volume increases) overall city
wide traffic volumes and congestion levels have risen over the years as development within
and adjacent to the City occurs or vehicle miles traveled was increased. In order to put our new
tracking criteria into terms the public can relate to we have focused on three statistics: peak
hour volumes, citywide daily volumes, and peak hour intersection delay. These values are
calculated by averaging benchmark intersections and segments throughout the City. In 2006
the average peak hour volume (APHV) for arterial intersections was approximately 1,715.
From 2006 that average citywide peak hour volume increased by 9% to 1,863 in 2008. The
average citywide daily volume (ADV)for arterial segments was 15,976 in 2006, which rose by
2% to 16,315 in 2008. The primary measure of congestion, average citywide peak hour delay
(APHD) for intersections was approximately 13.6 seconds in 2006, which rose by 8% to 14.8
seconds in 2008.
On average citywide peak hour traffic has been increasing by approximately 4.5% annually
and citywide daily traffic has been increasing by approximately 1% annually. Traffic
congestion has been increasing by approximately 4% annually.

I A How to Use this Report
Every two years the City of San Luis Obispo will prepare a Biennial Traffic Operations Report
for the previous 24 month period in order to:
➢ Identify and track traffic volume and congestion trends,
➢ Determine the locations within the City that have the highest levels of congestion in
comparison to similar locations, and
➢ Identify if mitigation strategies should be considered for these congested locations, and
if so, what the strategies should be, and
➢ Evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures implemented in the previous 24
month period.
This report is generated in conjunction with the City's Biennial City-wide traffic count
program, which typically occurs in the fall and winter every other year.
The specific values identified in this report are a function of various factors which are intended
to provide guidance for implementing congestion reduction measures. Some of these factors
are often beyond the ability of the engineer to change or control, however the City's mitigation
program attempts to identify elements that can be modified to make travel within the City more
efficient.
Congestion patterns may fluctuate annually as infrastructure construction, development,
transportation system improvements, and changing transportation demands result in different
transportation patterns. This report will identify locations that fall above other similar City
locations and propose mitigation measures, if necessary to improve traffic flow.
It is expected some locations within the City will continually experience higher or lower levels
of congestion in comparison to others based on surrounding land uses and/or their function
within the City's circulation system. This report looks to identify and rank improvements at
locations compared with other similar locations. For example intersections of two arterial
segments will be ranked relative to each other for improvements. The intersections of two
collector streets will be ranked relative to each other for improvements.
Overall, since this is the first ever Traffic Operations Report developed by the City there are a
lot of issues that will need future focus to improve the report to be an effective tool for
establishing congestion mitigations and projects. The primary objectives of a congestion
management program are to:
• Identify how much congestion we experience
• How bad is the congestion and where dowe want to be in the future
• How doe we Achieve the appropriate levels of congestion,
Establishing the Citywide objectives for congfestion levels will be a significant future effort as
we gain additional experience in the tracking and reporting of operational benchmarks for the
City. While the Circulation Element establishes Level Of Service thresholds for intersection

monitoring and program determination (this report has a summarizes LOS for City
intersections) additional congestion factors should be developed as the program gains
momentum and roads under Caltrans jurisdiction is added to the report.
The concept of intersection delay and corridor travel time delay are understandable to most
members of the public, but establishing the actual benchmark goal for the City of San Luis
Obispo will be difficult since overall congestion levels in the City are relatively low when
compared to larger, more urban locations.
A significant issue that will be undertaken as we prepare the next Traffic Operations Report
will be to recommend appropriate delay level benchmarks that we can then use to report
systemwide performance and respond to citizen requests. These undertakings will likely
coindide with the strategic update of the Circulation Element that would then be able to
incorporate these objectives as measuring tools for the circulation system.

2.1 Study Objectives
The objective of the Biennial Traffic Operations Report is to identify congested areas in the
City and track the improvements made through annual operations improvements. This report
.along with the Annual Traffic Safety Report will be used to improve the safety and efficiency
of the City's transportation network. The specific objectives of the 2008 Biennial Traffic
Operations Report are as follows:
• Establish a baseline for comparing future intersections and roadway segments,
• Identify the intersections and segments with the most congestion and thoroughly
analyze the traffic data so effective mitigation strategies can be developed to reduce
congestion at the five most impacted locations, and
• Report on the operational improvements made during the previous twelve-month period
based on improvements identified by both City staff and the general public.
2.2 Study Methodology
Operations reports, such as the Annual Traffic Operations Report, have typically been the
product of state departments of transportation (DOTS) and major metropolitan areas. However,
as congestion increases, small and mid-sized public agencies are looking for ways to
effectively and efficiently improve their transportation system. Because of its relatively small
size, the City of San Luis Obispo has different infrastructure and facilities compared to the
larger agencies that have been producing operations reports. Therefore, methods for
effectively measuring, evaluating, and comparing traffic operations had to be identified. This
section describes how traffic congestion will be measured, evaluated, and locations compared
to each other to determine the most congested areas and subsequently those requiring
mitigation.
Ranking System
A series of Traffic Operations Performance Measures have been identified to evaluate
congestion in San Luis Obispo. The various performance measures will allow intersections
and roadway segments to be evaluated individually and compared to other similar facilities in
the City. The following is a brief description of each performance and how it will be
measured:
Average Intersection Control Delay
Average intersection control delay is the primary value for measuring the performance of an
intersection. Average intersection control delay identifies the average delay resulting from
traffic control (i.e. a traffic signal or stop sign) a motorist experiences while traversing an
intersection. The average control delay provides a good measure for comparing intersections
because in calculating the average intersection control delay the volume of traffic is factored
into the equation. Therefore, locations where more vehicles experience significant delay will
score higher than locations where fewer vehicles experience delay.

ATTACHMENT
HCM methodology and the Synchro/SimTraffic traffic operations simulation software package
will be used to calculate average intersection control delay.
Intersection Level of Service(LOS)
Intersection Level of Service is the standard measure used by most agencies to evaluate
intersection operations. Level of service is a letter rating system corresponding to intersection
delay—LOS A corresponds to free flow traffic and LOS F indicates extreme congestion. The
typical methodology for measuring LOS is from the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The
City uses Synchro software to calculate LOS using the HCM method. Table 2.1 summarizes
the LOS letter rating system based on the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).
Table 2.2.1 Level of Service Rating System

C >20-35 C > 15-25
D >35-55 D >25-35
E >55-80 E >35-50
F > 80 F >50
Corridor Travel Time and Delay
Corridor delay per mile is the primary value for measuring the performance of a corridor.
Corridor delay per mile identifies the amount of delay a motorist experiences while traversing
a corridor.
Corridor travel time and delay provide good measures of how much congestion impacts travel
around San Luis Obispo. This performance measure evaluates how long it typically takes
drivers to travel along a corridor during peak periods. Peak period travel times will be
compared to free-flow travel times along the corridor to evaluate the delay for specific pre-
defined corridor segments.
Corridor travel times will be directly measured biennially during the am and pm peak periods
in addition to free flow conditions. Corridor travel times during peak periods are compared to
free-flow conditions, the difference between the peak period(s) travel time and the free-flow
travel time is the peak period corridor delay. In order to compare corridor delay to other
corridors, the corridor delay will be divided by the length of the corridor to establish a measure
of the delay per mile traveled along the corridor. Locations with more delay per mile traveled
will be identified as requiring mitigation before locations with less delay per mile traveled
along the corridor. Equation 2.2.2 shows the corridor delay calculations.
These results will be analyzed using the traffic operations simulation software package
Synchro/SimTraffic and evaluated for potential congestion relief measures.

Average Corridor Delay/Corridor Length (Miles) = Average Corridor Delay/Mile
Corridor Level of Service(LOS)
Corridor Level of Service is the standard measure used by most agencies to evaluate corridor
operations. Level of service is a letter rating system corresponding to the percent capacity of
the corridor — LOS A corresponds to free flow traffic and LOS F indicates extreme
congestion. The typical methodology for measuring LOS is from the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM). The City uses Synchro software to calculate LOS using the HCM method.
Table 2.2.3 summarizes the LOS letter rating system based on the 2000 Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM).

F 1.600+
Volume/Capacity Ratio
Volume/capacity (v/c) ratio measures how close an intersection or intersection approach is to
capacity. In addition to being an effective tool to compare locations, this measure also
provides insight to what type of improvements should be considered and what their benefit
might be to the transportation system.
Volume/capacity ratios will be evaluated with observed traffic volumes and roadway
conditions using the HCM methodology. The intersection v/c ratios will be compared to other
similar intersections to determine which locations are most suited for improvements.
Locations with a higher v/c ratio will be identified as requiring mitigation before those with
lower v/c ratios. The approach v/c ratios will be used to help identify mitigation strategies.
Establishing Benchmarks for Svstem Performance
For this initial report, Level Of Service calculations as outlined in the existing Circulation
Elelement have been used primarily as a system reporting tool. As discussed previously, it will
be important to establish specific delay objectives for our circulation system, in tandem with
other congestion reduction techniques to appropriate track congestion levels and mitigation
program recommendations.

city-wide opeuations statistics
3.1 City-wide Operations Trends
Overall traffic operations are most easily summed up by identifying the number or percentage
of facilities operating within each level of service classification. Other measures such as
overall travel time or delay may not accurately account for varied speed limits, different
operating parameters in certain areas of the City, such as downtown, or trip lengths.
Figure 3.1 summarizes the levels of service for all of the intersections evaluated as part of this
report (Appendices 1-2). Intersections were included in the analysis based on their functional
classification. City-wide average intersection control delay data is presented in Figure 3.3.

Figure 3.1.2 summarizes average City-wide peak hour volume trends. Peak hour intersection
volumes are averaged across benchmark intersections to provide a comparative number to
consider for overall use of available capacity. The average peak hour intersection volume in
2006/07 was 1715, in 2008/09 the average intersection volume increased by 9%to 1863. While
these numbers are quantitative, they can not be used as a pure system benchmark since the
addition of new intersections, developments, or streets could effect the average calculations
and not reflect changes at individual locations. They should be considered only as an overall
system summary tool and not and indicator of congestion conditions on City streets.

Figure 3.2.3 summarizes average City-wide intersection control delay. Control delay is
estimated based on intersection volumes and operational parameters then validated with field
observations. The control delay estimates are averaged across benchmark intersections to
provide the value in Figure 3.2.3. The average intersection control delay in 2006/07 was 13.57
seconds, in 2008/09 the average intersection control delay increased by 9% to 14.75 seconds.
Unlike the intersection average calculations, the average delay of all intersections gives us a
good idea of the operations of all intersectiuons within the City with an overall average delay
of 14.75 seconds reflecting most intersections operate at or better than LOS C.

average city-wide daily corridor volume in 2006/07 was 15,976, in 2008/09 the average

average daily corridor volumes should only be used as an overall summary tool when
comparing annual trends. The creation of new roadways or developments could effect these
averages and not actually represent physical deficiencies in the roadway corridsors or
operational effectiveness.

Figure 3.2.5 summarizes average City-wide corridor delay per mile. Corridor delay per miles
is averaged across benchmark corridors to provide the value in Figure 3.2.5. The average
corridor delay per mile in 2006/07 was 40.2 seconds, in 2008/09 the average corridor delay per
mile increased by 4%to 41.0 seconds.
To understand these delays, one should understand that the ideal flow would be an "off peak"
time that someone uses an intersection or corridor and what that running time would be. When
you compare this ideal time to the peak times, you can establish the overall delay (congestion)
that one experiences in the peak times.
While these delays may seem innocuous at first, when comparing them to free flow conditions,
they represent a 10-15 MPH reduction in running speed for motorists along the circulation
system and if perceived as too much, drivers may choose to seek alternative routes that include
neighborhood intrusion or cut through.
Finally, when State controlled intersections and corridors are added to the TOR it is likely that
this average delay will change since these corridors represent the highest daily volumes streets
and yet highest speed corridors in the City.
3.2 Comparison with Other Agencies
The City of San Luis Obispo is one of the few small city agencies (under 100,000 population)
that are proactively analyzing their traffic congestion statistics. The only other agencies found
to be conducting similar studies were state departments of transportation (DOTs) and major
municipalities. These large agencies primarily focus on operations of highways and freeways;
therefore it is difficult to compare the operation of San Luis Obispo's roadways to these other

over 1,000,000. Therefore, it is highly difficult to do a direct comparison of our City statistics ..
to other comparable agencies. We can report at the individual project or intersection location
level very similar to what all agencies do. However, trying to map our system statistics to other
larger agencies, or similar agencies that only estimate their operational styatistics, could give
false comparisons.
As part of the next Traffic Operations Report, additional effort will be spent trying to establish
a comparable jurisdictional pool that we can measure our effectiveness in both operations and
congestion.
3.3 Economic Analysis
An economic analysis can be used to identify the fiscal impact of congestion to the City of San
Luis Obispo. This information can also be used to evaluate the potential benefits of proposed
congestion mitigation strategies versus the cost to implement the mitigation.
Two primary factors were identified as being relevant to calculating the cost of delay: lost
productivity and additional fuel costs. In order to establish an average cost of delay, the
average salary of San Luis Obispo residents and the average cost of gas were identified for the
evaluation year. For 2008/09, the average annual salary in San Luis Obispo was $35,000,
which equates to approximately $16.85/hour. An idling car consumes approximately one
gallon of gasoline per hour. For 2008 the average cost of a gallon of gas was $3.50/gallon.
This translates to an average cost of$3.50/hour for an idling car. Based on these figures the
cumulative cost of congestion related delay for 2008/09 is approximately $20.35/hour.
Equation 3.3.1 displays the calculation for the hourly cost of delay.
Equation 3.3.1 —Hourly Cost of Delay Calculation
Average Hourly Salary+ Hourly Cost of Idling Car=Hourly Cost of Delay
$16.85/hour+ $3.50/hour= $20.35/hour
This hourly cost is comparable to numbers used by other agencies around the state and is
slightly higher than other areas of the country primarily due to the price of fuel.
In order to compute the cost of delay for a corridor, it is necessary to identify the average delay
motorist experiences along a corridor then calculate the cumulative delay experienced by all
motorists daily and annually. Equation 3.3.2 shows how the annual cost of delay is calculated
for a corridor. Table 3.3.3 summarizes the cumulative annual cost trends experienced by San
Luis Obispo motorists along the City's major corridors.
Equation 33.2—Annual Cost of Peak Hour Delay Calculation
250 (approximate number of working days/year) * $20.35/hour (hourly cost of delay)
Average Delay/vehicle/day (hours) * Average Peak Hour Traffic Volume = Annual Cost of
Peak Hour Delay.

2008 Calculation:250 x 20.35 x AD/V/D x APHV=AC=$1.5 Million
While the dollar amounts identified in Table 3.3.3 do not equate to tangible monetary cost, this
value does represent an order of magnitude for impacts to quality of life. It is important to note
that this amount only reflects costs associated with one peak and only City controlled
intersections. The total cost to City roadways users is likely quite a bit higher when calculated
for the full day and when the State controlled roadways are included.
As shown, the cumulative economic cost associated with citywide peak hour delay in 2006/07
was approximately 1.3 million dollars and rose by 15%to 1.5 million dollars in 2008/09.

4.1 QuicNet Traffic Management System
The City Public Works Department currently manages, operates, & maintains 57 traffic
signals, 3 actuated lighted crosswalks, 2 flashing beacon systems, and 4 active speed feed back
display signs in addition to the computer systems and communications networks necessary to
operate them. All 57 traffic signals are currently operated from an advanced traffic
management system (ATMS) called QuicNet, which allows for the City's entire traffic signal
system to be monitored and optimized from a central site. The essential functions of QuicNet
are maintaining and implementing signal timing and operational parameters, emergency
vehicle access provisions, equipment failure alarms, remote monitoring, and logging of
operations. In 2009 a major upgrade to the system was completed to ensure compatibility with
newer signal equipment and to provide a higher level of service from a maintenance and
operations standpoint.

Also in 2009 the City began installing equipment which would allow remote monitoring of
video vehicle detection feeds from within the QuicNet system. Remote monitoring of these
video feeds facilitates a higher level of efficiency in signal maintenance, timing, operations,
and incident management. Future improvements to the system may include incorporation of
lighted crosswalks, flashing beacon systems, and active speed feedback signs for the purposes
of remote operations &monitoring.

6.1 Intersection Prioritization Methodology
Intersection level of service designations (i.e. LOS C, LOS D, LOS E, and LOS F) are a
function of an intersection's control delay. Intersections will be prioritized based on their LOS
and subsequently their average intersection control delay. It is likely several intersections will
have the same LOS; however an intersection's control delay is a more accurate measure of
performance.
Intersections will be evaluated in the following functional classification categories:
• Arterial/Arterial
• Arterial./Collector
The five most congested intersections in each category will be identified and prioritized for
mitigation. The first screening will involve evaluation of intersection control delay. If there
are intersections within the top five of any category which are currently operating at maximum
capacity under optimum operational parameters and all feasible operational improvements are
in place, the next ranked intersections will be considered.
Intersection control delay will be used to determine the prioritization of locations, in addition
v/c ratios will be considered during ranking and prioritization. Tables 6.1.1 through 6.1.2
summarize the most congested five intersection locations in each of the functional
classification categories identified above.
The appendices contain the specific intersection information as follows:
• (Appendix 1) -Arterial/Arterial Intersections
• (Appendix 2) -Arterial/Collector Intersections

Intersection level of service is within City thresholds. Signal timing is not optimized for current volumes and
AM peak hour EB & WB thru volume exceeds current lane capacity. Traffic generated by San Luis High
School contributes to a significant 10-15 min volume spike within the AM peak hour, which is the primary
cause for AM congestion. Signal timing should be adjusted to be consistent with peak hour volumes.

COMMENTS
Intersection level of service is within City thresholds. Traffic volume increases from 2006 to 2008 are
primarily attributed to Cal Poly completing the California connection to Highland. NB California volumes
exceed current lane capacity during PM peak hour. The NB & SB lane configuration forces the signal to
operate in split phasing which increases overall cycle length. There is no advanced Railroad preempt to
accommodate pedestrian clearance interval and existing Railroad preempt sequencing allows permissive
movements towards tracks.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NEAR TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 25%-LOS C (65%during RR preemption)
As part of the Railroad Safety Trail phase 4a project, widen the NB approach to accommodate two left turn
lanes & two thru lanes. Also widen the SB approach to accommodate one left turn lane, one thru lane, and one
right turn lane. Reconstruction signal in coordination with roadway widening to accommodate bicycle
phasing, eliminate split phasing, and allow for appropriate railroad preemption phasing. Continue to monitor.
MID TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
Initiate communications with railroad to install advance preemption for appropriate pedestrian clearance
during preemption. Continue to Monitor.

WB Suburban volumes have increased due to new development along suburban road outside City limits.
There is a moderate to high level of delay for the WB suburban approach. This delay is primarily due to the

COMMENTS
This intersection is operating at an acceptable level of service with a minor to moderate level of delay for EB
& WB Madonna lefts onto Oceanaire. Delay is largely due to the configuration of the intersection which
requires signalization of Madonna Frontage Road, ultimately increasing the overall cycle length.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NEAR TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
Continue to monitor EB & WB Madonna approaches, make adjustments in signal timing as necessary.
MID TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
Continue to monitor.
LONG TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
As part of circulation element update investigate neighborhood support and opporunities to implement a full
closure one or both of the frontage roads at Oceanaire Drive to better serve the neighborhoods. Continue to
monitor.

COMMENTS
Corridor currently operates within City thresholds. Corridor volumes have increased from 2006 to 2008 due to
CalPoly completing the California connection to Highland Drive. California & Foothill Intersection volumes
currently exceed lane capacity in PM peak, and lane configuration forces inefficient signal operations.
Railroad preemption causes queuing along entire length of corridor and corridor capacity is currently at
approximately 80% in peak hours.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NEAR TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 10% (30%during RR preemption)
As part of the Railroad Safety Trail phase 4a project, widen the NB approach to accommodate two left turn
lanes & two thru lanes. Also widen the SB approach to accommodate one left turn lane, one thru lane, and one
right turn lane. Reconstruction signal in coordination with roadway widening to accommodate bicycle
phasing, eliminate split phasing, and allow for appropriate railroad preemption phasing. Continue to monitor.
MID TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 20%
Assess potential for on-street parking removal along NB California to extend#2 NB travel lane from Hathway
to Foothill, return to council with recorridnation if found necessary. Continue to Monitor.
LONG TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
As part of Circulation Element update evaluate long term potential for railroad grade separation at Foothill &
California. Continue to monitor.

COMMENTS
Corridor currently operates within City thresholds. Congestion along this is corridor primarily due to lack of
intersection capacity at Osos & Buchon with secondary capacity issues at Osos & Pismo. WB left turn
volume at Osos & Buchon exceeds current lane capacity. Left turn from WB & EB Buchon to Osos block
thru and right turn movements and reduce overall green time allocated to Osos.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NEAR TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 85%
Remove approximately 50'-75' of parking area on WB & EB Buchon approaches to accommodate one left
turn lane and one shared thru/right turn lane and reallocate green time to Osos. Remove approximately 50%
75' of parking area on Osos at Pismo to accommodate one left turn lane and one shared thru/right turn lane.
Continue to monitor.
MID TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
Continue to monitor.
LONG TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 127%
As part of Circulation element update conduct assessment of potential on-street parking removal needs along
the NB & SB Osos inorder to accommodate a second NB lane. Continue to monitor.

Corridor congestion is primarily due to signal timing at Monterey & California not optimized for current
volumes and intersection volumes exceeding current lane capacity. Traffic generated by San Luis High School
also contributes to a significant 5-10 min. volume spike within the AM peak hour.
RECOMMENDATIONS
NEAR TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: 5%
Optimize traffic signal cycle length and green times for AM peak hour at Monterey and California. Initiate
discussions and negotiations with San Luis High School and San Luis Unified School District to pursue some
form of travel demand reduction strategy. Continue to monitor.
MID TERM: Expected Delay Reduction: TBD
