Romero EXHIBIT A IIIIDIIIVI�II� �Ill� � � Pismo /Buchon Neighborhood Traffic Management Draft Action Plan (June, 2010) Background In the Fall of 2005, residents in the Pismo/Buchon neighborhood submitted a petition asking the City of San Luis Obispo to address concerns about excessive traffic speeds, volumes, and collisions in the neighborhood. On April 21, 2008, the City of San Luis Obispo Public Works Department held a community meeting for neighborhood residents to discuss their traffic concerns. Based on interest expressed at the meeting, a Neighborhood Action Team comprised of residents representing the entire neighborhood was formed. Four neighborhood representatives attended the first Neighborhood Action Team meeting in May 2008. At this initial meeting the Action Team members reviewed and specified issues that they felt should be addressed as part of this Neighborhood Traffic Management (NTM) effort. Public Works staff discussed with the Action Team the types of traffic studies that would measure the volume, speed and travel patterns of traffic in the neighborhood and that traffic studies would begin in the Fall once all schools were in session. The traffic studies were conducted from September 2008 to May 2009. Five Action Team members subsequently met with Public Works Staff in May 2009 to discuss the results of the traffic studies and develop a cost effective solution to resolve the traffic concerns identified by the residents. Development of the Action Plan continued as City staff met with the Action Team throughout 2009 and 2010. Traffic Study Results The results of the traffic studies confirmed the neighborhood concerns about traffic speeds and volumes. As summarized in Table 1, speed surveys conducted on Johnson Avenue indicate that the 85`x' percentile speed ranged between 35 -38 mph with a posted speed of 30 mph; Pismo Street ranged from 30 -32 mph while Buchon Street ranged from 31 -33 mph, both with a posted speed of 25 mph. A license plate survey during the peak traffic hours confirmed that 74% of the traffic on Buchon and 56% of the traffic on Pismo did not have a destination within the neighborhood. Traffic volume counts indicated that the average daily volume of vehicles on Buchon (3,570) exceed the Circulation Element desired maximum volume (3,000 for a Residential Collector) by 20 %. Traffic volume counts indicated that the average daily volume of vehicles on Pismo (3,650) exceed the Circulation Element desired maximum volume by 22 %. Table 1- Traffic Volumes and Speeds Traffic Speeds Traffic Volumes Observed Speed Limit Observed Circulation Element Desired Predominant Speed Buchon 31 -33 MPH 25 MPH 3,570 3,000 Pismo 30-32 MPH 25 MPH 3,650 3,000 Johnson 35 -38 MPH 30 MPH 12,931 N/A Pismo/Buchon Neighborhood Trat Management Draft Action Plan May 2010 Study Area The study area, shown in Figure 1, was established by Public Works staff and the Action Team. The study area boundary is based on traffic conditions in the neighborhood and the effect the proposed traffic calming measures could have on adjacent streets. NTM Boundary Figure 1— NTM Study Area Statement of Objectives t SAN LUIS, OBISPO HIGH SCHOOL X The objective of this Action Plan is to improve the quality of life and the personal safety for the residents of the Pismo/Buchon neighborhood by reducing vehicle speeds, reducing non -local traffic volumes, and improving pedestrian safety. The Action Team agreed upon goals form the basis of this Neighborhood Traffic Management Action Plan. These goals include: Table 2- Action Plan Objectives 2 Current NTM Obiectives Johnson Speeds 36.7 MPH 32.5 MPH Pismo Speeds 31.0 MPH 27.5 MPH Buchon Speeds 31.7 MPH 27.5 MPH Pismo Volume 3,650 ADT 3,300 ADT Buchon Volume 3,570 ADT 3,300 ADT 2 PismoBuchon Neighborhood Trat/ l.r Management Draft Action Plan May 2010 Traffic Calming Improvements Based on the traffic study and neighborhood voting results, This Action Plan was developed to address the observed traffic issues. Based on a neighborhood wide vote the following projects have been identified as the neighborhood 's preferred solution to address these traffic issues. These projects are depicted in Tables 3 and 4 with the locations of each of the projects shown in the map below.

Following design, City staff will advertise for construction bids & award a construction contract, which should take approximately 1 -2 months. Construction should take approximately 2 -3 months to complete. Once construction is completed, City staff will conduct ongoing performance monitoring of traffic volumes, speeds, and collisions for a period of 12 months. It is the NTM policy that the application of NTM devices should not divert traffic onto other Residential Collector or Residential Local street that exceeds the diversion standards shown in Figure 3 of the NTM guidelines. Therefore if after a period of 6 or 12 months staff determines the diversion standards are exceeded staff will install three additional speed humps and painted edge lines on Buchon street. If it is determined that any of the improvements have imposed any undue secondary impacts, the Director of Public Works may order modification, addition, and/or removal of NTM devices installed as part of this action plan. 3 • Rounded, raised area of pavement • 14 feet in length, 3 inches in height May reduce vehicle speeds an Islay Street: of 18% laverage 7 Speed Hump May reduce the tendency for motorists to use Islay as an alternate 1034 to Buchon' Possible increase in traffic noise i • Concern over jarring of vehicles Implementation & Performance Monitoring If the City Council approves the Action Plan, City staff will immediately begin engineering and design of the improvements, which should take approximately 4-6 months to complete.

If these measures fail to meet the goals of the project as listed in Table 1, the Action Plan includes the option of installing additional traffic calming devices. The total cost of the Action Plan is estimated at $270,000. The proposed funding strategy is to allocate $172,900 of available City Neighborhood Traffic Management funding to the Action Plan. This funding will be allocated to Action Plan projects 1 through 7. If after one year performance monitoring determines that there has been an increase of traffic on Buchon, additional traffic calming devices may be installed depending on City staff and funding resources.
