AGENDA BILL Agenda Item No. 5(C) Date: April 7, 2015 To: El Cerrito City Council From: Yvetteh Ortiz, Public Works Director/City Engineer Subject: Calendar Years 2012 and 2013 Growth Management Program Compliance Checklist ACTION REQUESTED Adopt a resolution approving the Calendar Years 2012 and 2013 Growth Management Program (GMP) Compliance Checklist for allocation of Fiscal Years 2013-14 and 2014- 15 Measure J, Local Street Maintenance and Improvement Funds by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA). DISCUSSION In 1988, voters in Contra Costa County approved Measure C imposing a half-cent sales tax to generate revenue for transportation improvement projects over 20 years. In 2004, the voters approved Measure J extending the sales tax for another 25 years. A portion of the sales tax funds, referred to as the “18 Percent Local Street Maintenance and Improvement (LSM) program” funds, is allocated by the CCTA to cities on a formula basis. To receive these funds and to be eligible for funds from the Transportation for Livable Communities (CC-TLC) program, Measure J requires each jurisdiction in Contra Costa to comply with all the components of its Growth Management Program (GMP). The CCTA assesses compliance with the GMP through the review and approval of a jurisdiction’s GMP Compliance Checklist. Each jurisdiction must complete and approve the checklist. On April 2, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-14 approving the Calendar Years 2010 and 2011 GMP Compliance Checklist for allocation of Fiscal Years 2011-12 and 2012-13 Measure J Funds. The current GMP Compliance Checklist, attached as Exhibit A, is for the reporting period of Calendar Years 2012 and 2013, and allocation period of Fiscal Years 2013-14 and 2014-15. This GMP Compliance Checklist must be submitted to the CCTA prior to June 30, 2015. The Measure J GMP currently requires compliance in the following areas: • Implementation of 2009 West County Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance • Continued Development Mitigation Programs • Housing Options • Traffic Impact Studies ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(C) Page 2 • Multi-Jurisdictional Planning • Minimum Five-Year Capital Improvement Program • Transportation Systems Management (TSM) Ordinance • Growth Management Element for General Plan • Urban Limit Line Since the last reporting period, there have been no changes and/or required actions in regards to traffic impact studies, the Growth Management Element, TSM Ordinance, the Growth Management Element or Urban Limit Line. The City has satisfied the requirements of Measure J in all of these other areas. More specifically, during this reporting period, the City actively participated in the West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (WCCTAC) and the implementation of the West County Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance. The City also continued to implement the Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program as part of its adopted Master Fee Schedule and maintained an adopted ten-year Capital Improvement Program. Furthermore, the City made progress in achieving the objectives of the Housing Element and has a Housing Element that was certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) in early 2012. Finally, due to the passage of the City’s own half-cent sales tax (Measure A) in 2008, the City provided funding of street improvement projects, specifically pavement resurfacing, using non-Measure J funds thus exceeding the minimum funding required by Measure J. The City Council is required to approve the GMP Compliance Checklist for submittal to the CCTA. The GMP Compliance Checklist will first be reviewed by the CCTA’s Citizens Advisory Committee and then the Planning Committee. After review and approval by these two committees, the GMP Compliance Checklist is reviewed and approved by the CCTA Board. STRATEGIC PLAN CONSIDERATIONS The City’s compliance with the various components of the Measure J GMP is consistent with El Cerrito Strategic Plan Goal B – Achieve long-term financial sustainability. The GMP is designed to help Contra Costa County plan for and accommodate the continued increases in population, households, and jobs that are expected to occur through the year 2035. One of the key principles underlying the GMP is to ensure that future residential, business, and commercial development pay for the transportation facilities required to meet the demands resulting from that growth, while sales tax revenues be used to alleviate existing congestion. This provides a source of funding for required transportation improvements on both a regional and subregional level. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS If the CCTA finds the City in compliance with requirements of Measure J for Calendar Years 2012 and 2013, the CCTA will allocate $406,052 in Fiscal Year 2013-14 funds and a similar amount in Fiscal Year 2014-15 funds. The amounts are subject to change primarily based on actual sales tax receipts through June 30, 2015. The payment of ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. S(C) Fiscal Year 2014-15 funds will occur automatically on the one-year anniversary of the Fiscal Year 2013-14 payment date.

West County, Area-wide Action 2.i - Maintain pavement management systems/schedules to manage and monitor pavement needs City Implementation: In 2008, El Cerrito residents passed Measure A, "El Cerrito Pothole Repair, Local Street Improvement and Maintenance Measure", which is a half-cent sales tax to provide dedicated funding for a comprehensive street pavement repair and maintenance program for City streets. Prior to 2008, the City faced a backlog of street maintenance and repairs. The Measure A accelerated work plan was a multi-year, intensive program designed to improve El Cerrito's street system and to complete the repairs in the most efficient and quickest way possible. The Measure A accelerated work plan involved repairing or resurfacing at least 70% of local streets in El Cerrito within four years. In 2012 and 2013, the City transition to an on-going street maintenance and rehabilitation program to ensure the streets remain in good pavement condition and to address a handful of streets that remain in the poor category. The City uses the standard Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to rate streets on a 100-point scale, with failed streets rated at 0 and excellent streets at 100. A goal of the Measure A program was to raise the City's average PCI rating from about 52 in 2007 to about 70 by 2012. This goal was surpassed in 2010 when the City achieved a score of 85. As of 2013, the City of El Cerrito is among the top three cities in Bay Area for pavement conditions. In 2013, the City awarded a construction contract for the 2013/14 Street Improvement Project to repair seventeen (17) street segments with moderate to severely distressed pavement. The project leveraged $479,000 in Measure A funds to obtain $354,000 State-Local Partnership Program (SLPP) grant funds. West County, Area-wide Action 5.ii - Continue focus on ADA compliance for pedestrians improvements for the visually impaired) City Implementation: The City has an annual Access Improvement Program to implement ADA improvements in the public right-of-way per the City’s 2009 ADA Transition Plan. In 2012 and 2013, the City completed construction and/or began construction on various projects that included installation of curb ramps and repair or installation of sidewalk to improve accessibility including the following projects: • Fairmount Avenue & Ashbury Avenue Intersection Improvements Project, which was largely funded by a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, included installation of curb ramps and audible pedestrian signals along with other safety improvements. • Arlington Boulevard Safe Routes to School and Access Improvements Project, which was funded by a federal Safe Routes to School Program, included installation of curb bulb- outs and ramps. Attachment 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- • 2013 Street Access Improvements Project, which was funded by Measure J Return to Source funds, included installation of curb ramps and widening of sidewalk to remove mid-block obstructions. • Potrero Avenue between E. 55th and E. 56th Streets Safety Improvements, which was largely funded by a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program and supplemented with some Measure J Return to Source funds, included the installation of curb ramps, new signalized crosswalks and reduced pedestrian crossing distances. • Moeser & Ashbury Pedestrian and Bicycle Corridor Improvements Project, which was largely funded by a federal Transportation Enhancement grant and supplemented with City Measure A funds, included the installation of curb bulb-outs, curbs ramps and new sidewalk segments on important pedestrian corridors. • Central Avenue and Liberty Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project, which was largely funded by a federal Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC) Grant and supplemented with a Measure J TLC grant and City Measure A funds, included the installation of curb bulb-outs, curbs ramps and repair of sidewalk. West County, Area-wide Action 5.iii - Work with CCTA and MTC to seek funding to install crosswalks, sidewalks, curb cuts, islands or "holding areas," bus shelters, and median improvements where absent or substandard to close gaps in pedestrian sidewalk/pathway system City Implementation: In 2012 and 2013, the City secured and/or developed the design of the following grant-funded projects to install improvements, such as improved crosswalks, sidewalks, curb ramps, pedestrian refuge islands:  Completed design for the Ohlone Greenway Major Street Crossing Safety Improvements, which was largely funded by a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program and supplement by Measure J Return to Source funds.  Applied for and was awarded a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program grant in the amount of $237,800 for the Arlington Boulevard Curve at Brewster Drive Improvement Project  Applied for and was awarded a $3.4 million federal One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) grant to design and construct the Ohlone Greenway BART Station Access, Safety and Placemaking Improvement Project West County Actions:  I-80 Key Objective A & Action 2.ii - Utilize the I-80 ICM project to enhance the current Transportation Management System along the I-80 Corridor by using State of the Practice solutions to build an integrated, balanced, responsive and equitable system that will monitor and maintain optimum traffic flow along the network to regulate speed, reduce delays, and reduce incidents to improve the safety and mobility for all users;  San Pablo Avenue Action 1.i - Study traffic improvement and management options to discourage diversion from I-80 and encourage diverted traffic to return to I-80 on the next feeder road as part of the I-80 ICM project; and  Central Avenue Action 1.i -Seek grant funding to develop and implement a signal coordination plan for Central Avenue between the intersections of San Pablo Avenue and I-580 City Implementation: In 2012 and 2013, the City continued participation in the construction and implementation efforts for the I-80 Integrated Corridor Mobility (ICM). The City entered into the I- 80 Integrated Corridor Mobility Project, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between all project stakeholders to support the implementation of active traffic management measures including ramp metering and lane use control on the freeway and trailblazer signs, signal Attachment 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- coordination and intersection operational improvements along and near San Pablo Avenue and Central Avenue to improve overall corridor mobility and minimize impacts on local streets. In addition, City staff also continued to be actively involved in the development of the CooperatiVE Operations & Maintenance Agreement and the construction of the San Pablo Corridor, Arterial and Transit Improvements Project, which is one of several projects under the I-80 ICM. West County, I-80 Key Objective B & Action B.i; Central Avenue Key Objective A & Action A.i - Partner with participating agencies to complete design, funding, and construction of I- 80 interchange improvements with Central Avenue City Implementation: CCTA initiated work on a Project Study Report in late 2006 to analyze access improvements from/to I-80 at Central Avenue. Sixteen alternatives were examined but were later dropped due to public input, limited benefits, significant community impacts and high cost. Instead, two smaller projects were recommended that would provide near term congestion relief and improved traffic operations: A near-term "Operational Modifications Project" and a longer-term "Local Roads Realignment Project". In 2012 and 2013, the City of El Cerrito continued to partner with the CCTA and City of Richmond to complete public outreach and engineering and environmental studies and environmental clearance for the near-term "Operational Modifications Project". This project is aimed at eliminating the blockage of through traffic along westbound Central Avenue caused by vehicles turning left onto I-80 westbound (toward SF). During weekend peak hours (11 am – 3 pm) and through the use of mainly electronic signs, the project will redirect this traffic turning left from westbound Central Avenue to use the I-580 eastbound on-ramp at Rydin Road. The project will also replace the all-way STOP signs at the I-580 ramps with coordinated traffic signals. West County, Area-wide Action 4.i - Provide and maintain bus stops with lighting, shelters, telephones, trash/recycling receptacles, bus pads, information kiosks with advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) capabilities, and directional/transit signage; City Implementation: In 2012 and 2013, the City continued to maintain various streetscape improvements constructed as part of the San Pablo Avenue Streetscape and Rain Gardens Project completed in 2011. The goal of the project was to identify El Cerrito as a distinct place along the Avenue, enhance the economic vitality of the area, and create a safer, more accessible, and attractive walking and bicycling environment. The project included new medians south of Central Avenue, eight new crosswalks, various pedestrian safety and access improvements (curb ramps, audible signals, countdown pedestrian crossing signals, and in-pavement flashing crosswalks in some locations), historic-cultural sidewalk pavers, upgraded landscaping, new street furnishings including benches and bike racks, additional street trees, upgraded bus stops with new lighting, benches and trash/recycling bins, and demonstration rain gardens. West County Actions:  I-80 Key Objective C and Action C.i - Plan and implement Transit Oriented Development (TOD) at El Cerrito del Norte and El Cerrito Plaza BART stations;  San Pablo Avenue Key Objective A - Improve pedestrian and bicycle access with related safety enhancements along the corridor; and  San Pablo Avenue Key Objective C - Complete San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan in the cities of Richmond and El Cerrito; and  San Pablo Avenue Key Objective D - As a designated ABAG FOCUS Priority Development Area, monitor development and implement projects on or near the San Pablo Avenue, BART stations, and other transit hubs to facilitate transit-oriented development Attachment 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- City Implementation: In 2012 and 2013, the City continued its efforts on the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan, which is intended to prioritize the del Norte and Plaza BART Areas as two key nodes for higher-intensity, transit-oriented development. More specifically in 2013, the City initiated a coordinated effort to complete and integrate the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan, Complete Streets Plan, and Programmatic Environmental Impact Report. In addition, the City also began development of a Multi-Modal Capital Improvement Program (CIP) within a ½ mile of both BART stations. The Complete Streets Plan and Multi-Modal CIP are funded by Measure J TLC and Measure J TOD Access Improvements at El Cerrito Plaza and del Norte BART Stations Project, respectively. The 2013 efforts put particular emphasis on maximizing TOD opportunities at the two BART stations, collecting updated information including current traffic counts, and doing analyses and identifying appropriate mitigation measures based upon the new proposed development numbers and in consideration of changed regulatory requirements and new multi- modal performance measures. More specifically, combining these three efforts would potentially allow the City to increase proposed densities to levels that are needed to achieve City, Regional and State goals and policies related to increased transit access and walkability; greenhouse gas emissions reductions as required and proposed by AB32 (California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006), SB375 (Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008), and the City’s own Climate Action Plan; and consideration of economic feasibility for real estate development. Finally, the ability for the City to adopt integrated performance measure that supports current and future multimodal mobility needs is not only supportive of the City’s goals for reducing vehicle- miles traveled and achieving a balanced transportation system, but makes pursuing TOD a more economically feasible path. In reviewing and taking a fresh look at the 2009 Specific Plan, and in recognition of increased development and City Council interest in TOD as both an environmental and economic development strategy, City staff identified other strategies to assure that the Plan’s products best situate the City to be ready and competitive to attract high-quality development. One of those strategies is to have the multi-modal CIP for future transportation improvements. Completion of the multimodal CIP will also put the City and BART in a competitive and ready position to begin applying for capital funds to build public access improvement projects to realize both near-term benefits as well as to prepare for successful TOD. West County, Cutting Boulevard Action 1.i - Continue study of improvements at intersection of Cutting Boulevard and San Pablo Avenue and adjacent intersection City Implementation: See actions above pertaining to the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan and Complete Plan, which includes Cutting Boulevard. In addition, in 2013, as part of the I-80 ICM efforts to improve bus access to the del Norte BART Station, modifications to Cutting Blvd between San Pablo Avenue and the del Norte BART Station were implemented. A bus contra- flow lane was established to allow buses to travel eastbound on Cutting instead of having to travel through the more congested intersection of San Pablo/Hill St/Eastshore thereby improving transit operations and efficiency.

City staff will review the construction of these improvements. Other related projects are the Ohlone Natural Area south of Fairmount Avenue (funded through a Prop 84 grant) and the Hill-to-Blake section (funded pursuant to the Safeway development agreement). Future improvements are awaiting funding. The project is divided into three phases: Master Plan; BART-related upgrades; and future improvements. The master plan is now complete and adopted, and the BART-related upgrades have been designed and are slated for construction in 2011 - 2014. Future improvements are outlined in the master plan, most are not funded at this point. Capital Costs Three primary conditions give rise to the need for this project. 1) The need for improving the facility to meet current and future users' needs and standards, as well as to improve the design and feel of the facility to fully actualize its potential to contribute to the surrounding areas; 2) To coordinate and optimize the opportunity provided by the BART Earthquake Safety Program and disruptive trail closure;3) To create a consistent and appealing design to coordinate future improvements with public or private projects. The Ohlone is considered by regional bicycle organizations as a backbone to the non-motorized transportation system in the region. 2007 counts found weekday use averaging 627 pedestrians/bicyclists per day, and according to a citywide survey completed in 2003, the Greenway is the 6th most used recreational facility. 2/3 of residents in a 2007 Citywide survey indicated they use the Greenway regularly or often.

This project will implement the streets portion of the City's American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan Update, which was adopted in September 2009. Specific locations and scopes of work will be determined annually in conformance with the Plan Update and based on guidance from ADA Advisory Group. This program is in addition to the curb ramp work required by street repaving program, however the access program may be contracted jointly with the Street Resurfacing Program. TOTAL ALL COSTS: The ADA requires that public facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. The City's ADA Transition Plan identifies deficiencies on major pedestrian routes in the public right-of-way, and recommends a strategy for eliminating these obstructions. The Plan prioritizes improvements to major pedestrian routes in the public right-of- way. Within the public streets, there are numerous obstructions to access for disabled persons. This capital program is an integral part of a compliance strategy for tackling this massive deficiency in the most practical manner. These actions require that requests from persons with disabilities be prioritized based on guidance from the ADA Advisory Group. This program will work toward bringing the pedestrian routes in the public right-of-way into compliance and making the City's programs accessible. In 2010, 18 curb ramps were constructed at four key intersections discussed with the ADA Advisory Group. The funding used was from FY2009-10 and FY2010-11. We expect to construct approximately 25 to 30 curb ramps in Fall 2013 using funding from three fiscal years.

Construction of the project is anticipated to begin in Summer 2013 and coordinated with the BART Seismic Retrofit Project. TOTAL ALL COSTS Improvements are proposed at nine uncontrolled marked crosswalks on the Ohlone Greenway and next to BART Stations on seven arterial streets as follows: Fairmount Ave Central Ave Stockton Ave Moeser Ln Potrero Ave Hill St and Cutting Blvd The proposed improvements include installation of in-pavement flashing lights, controller and passive detection devices, LED enhanced crosswalk signs and posts, solar power equipment or alternative power source equipment, and new traffic striping and pavement markings. Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle. Need/Service Level: The need for safety improvements at uncontrolled crossing along Ohlone Greenway has been focused on for some time. It has been observed that the Greenway path is shadowed where the path intersects with our busy streets. The project consists of crosswalk safety improvements involving the installation of in-pavement flashing lights to warn drivers of the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the arterial roadways. All three groups of the general public will benefit; pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.

The project will make improvements by closing the gaps in sidewalks as prioritized in the Circulation Plan including the provisions of curb ramps as prioritized in the ADA Transition Plan, installing pedestrian facilities such as raised crosswalks and curb bulb-outs, installing bicycle facilities such as lanes and shared pavement markings, and calming traffic using pedestrian-refuge islands. Combined these two corridors provide access to the following facilities: Community Center, Contra Costa Civic Theater, Cerrito Vista Park, Portola Middle School, Prospect Sierra School, El Cerrito High School, Harding Elementary School and Albany High School. Students, parents, and others frequently walk between the facilities on the south end of Ashbury Avenue and the east and west ends of Moeser Lane to the Community Center located at the intersection of Ashbury Avenue and Moeser Lane. The installation of the proposed pedestrian and bicycle improvements will help complete two important corridors in the City of El Cerrito by providing facilities to serve everyone, including the young and old, motorist and bicyclist, and walker and h l h i Project met key funding deadlines in 2012.

Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle; and Goal T3: A transportation system, including safe and adequate streets, signals, sidewalks, pathways, curbs, gutters, street trees, signage, and streetlights, that maintains and improves the livability of the City. This project has arisen out of various efforts in the City of El Cerrito. Through the General Plan policies, Circulation Plan, and Draft San Pablo Specific Plan, the City has identified the El Cerrito Plaza area as a high- activity node and has identified the need for streetscape improvements to enhance pedestrian and bicycle facilities to businesses and transit. Central Avenue and Fairmount Avenue play a key role in the Plaza Area as the primary east-west corridors for travel. Liberty Street, bordering the main BART parking lot, connects these corridors and leads directly into the Plaza shopping center. The Draft San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan describes the Plaza Area as serving many functions: a gateway to El Cerrito from points south, contains a BART Station, features a regional shopping center, has a historical building currently hosting the Cerrito Theatre, and encompasses the "Main Street" feel of Fairmount Avenue. The area also hosts many local shops, restaurants, multi-family and single-family residences, and AC Transit bus lines. The Plaza Area is envisioned as the “downtown” for El Cerrito with in-fill & transit-oriented neighborhoods. The Plan calls for streetscape improvements that encourage walking, biking, and transit use. The project will improve streets for users of all modes. For pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users, the addition of the proposed improvements will create a friendlier and safer environment. In 2010, City staff applied for and was awarded a CMA Block Grant - TLC Program grant by the CCTA for 80% of the project costs. WCCTAC also approved the use of Measure J TLC as the 20% local match. Measure A (211) Funds were approved by Council to supplement budget short-falls. TOTAL ALL COSTS: The project consists of streetscape improvements within and around the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station on Central Avenue and Liberty Street. The scope of the project improvements includes sidewalk replacement, pedestrian level lighting, crosswalks improvements (curb bulb-outs, and enhanced signing & striping), bike route signing & striping, street trees and street furniture. The goal of the project is to improve walking and biking routes to transit, support development, and enhance the sense of place and quality of life in the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station Area.

Need/Service Level: Arlington Blvd is a minor arterial that carries regional traffic through the El Cerrito, Kensington, and Berkeley hills. It is also an important north-south connection for bicyclists and pedestrians and is designated as a pedestrian and bicycle route in the Circulation Plan for Bicyclists and Pedestrian (2007). The crosswalk at the intersection serves the existing community staircase/path through the neighborhood. The City has previously installed various improvements in this area over the years in response to community concerns at the intersection and along the Arlington Blvd corridor. Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle. In July 2012, following a fatal pedestrian-bicycle collision at the intersection, the City again met with community representatives. The City and Police Department conducted speed surveys to determine the appropriate advisory speed for the corridor, and retained a consultant to conduct a safety analysis of the intersection. The project improvements are the recommendations that resulted from that analysis, which received community support at a final public meeting in July 2012 Arlington Boulevard near Brewster Drive Total Other Costs: The project is located at the Intersection of Arlington Blvd and Brewster Dr (south) about 350 feet in both directions from the intersection. It includes installation of long-term improvements to upgrade interim improvements completed in Fall 2012. Specifically includes construction of curb, gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, & curb extensions; installation of electronic speed feedback signs to include Arlington Park, and curve, pedestrian, & advisory speed signs; installation of enhanced striping for crosswalks, shoulders, and shared roadway markings; installation of additional botts dots and pavement markers; and restriping of existing pavement markings as necessary.

The project also includes placemaking elements such as native landscaping, seating and lighting to increase a sense of connectivity to the rest of the Greenway and establish a strong sense of place at these transportation gateways to the community. To improve the security along the Greenway, the existing surveillance system will be upgraded and expanded to three key nodes between the BART Stations. Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle. Goal T2: A land use pattern that encourages walking, bicycling, and public transit use. Goal T3: A transportation system that maintains and improves the livability of the City. Need/Service Level: The improvements will better serve the needs of local and regional bicyclists and pedestrians, improve access to local amenities, and improve the integration of the two BART stations to the surrounding community. The project is a community-based multimodal transportation project that will improve connectivity, enhance sense of place, bring new vibrancy and support the higher-density transit-oriented neighborhoods adjacent to BART as a place where developers want to build and people want to live, work and visit.

The Del Norte BART Station was identified as one of the 21 regional transit hubs in the nine Bay Area counties by MTC because of the linkages its provides between the services of various transit operators. The BART Station has over 700 bus trips a day which contributes to this being the 10th busiest station of 43 BART stations. Previous STMP funding was used for the high school internship program run by WCCTAC and the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan. BART had previously committed $100,000 of its STMP fees for this area. Future efforts will build on the San Pablo Ave Specific Plan, MTC and BART plans, and the Del Norte Strategic Plan being prepared by the Redevelopment Agency. Public Works will continue to seek additional funding for San Pablo Avenue based on its designation as a planned Priority Development Area under the FOCUS Program. The project is pending additional funding and coordination with the San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan. TOTAL ALL COSTS: The project includes planning, engineering and construction of various public infrastructure improvements to facilitate transit-oriented development in the Del Norte Area including parking facilities; bicycle, pedestrian, and/or bus transit access improvements; signage; lighting; improvements to station access or station waiting areas; ADA improvements; improvements to adjacent streets, street crossings, or signals; and/or Ohlone Greenway improvements. Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle. Goal T2: A land use pattern that encourages walking, bicycling, and public transit use. Goal T3: A transportation system that maintains and improves the livability of the City. Traffic congestion and planned/proposed development in the vicinity of the Del Norte BART station require creative and effective transportation solutions. The proximity of San Pablo Avenue to I-80 (the most congested freeway in the Bay Area) makes it an attractive relief route during the commute hours in addition to the heavy BART-bound traffic to and from the freeway. The two primary intersections (San Pablo Avenue at Cutting and at Hill) cannot accommodate a pedestrian crosswalk on the leg that has the highest pedestrian crossing demand due to critical vehicle volumes, and this induces pedestrians to cross illegally in the mid-block locations. There is also a history of collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians in this area. In addition, BART is interested in performing a study around and within its station as it considers improvements and possible on-site development partnerships.

The NTMP program will serve all streets in neighborhoods throughout the City. Funding has been secured and improvements implemented for several of the corridors. Public Works will continue to seek state and federal funding opportunities, and combine this program with others such as the PDA Streetscape Improvements Program to maximize funding opportunities as they arise. Planning Phase: Implementation pending funding. TOTAL ALL COSTS: This program would contain various capital projects that would improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists traveling on city streets and implement various improvements under the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program consisting of educational, engineering and enforcement measures to address speeding, high traffic volumes, pedestrian and bicycle access and livability on residential streets. Goal T1: A transportation system that allows safe and efficient travel by a variety of modes and promotes the use of alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle. Goal T3: A transportation system, including safe and adequate streets, signals, sidewalks, pathways, curbs, gutters, street trees, signage, and streetlights, that maintains and improves the livability of the City. A 2006 traffic safety audit evaluated 14 street segments that had significantly higher collision rates than other arterial and collector streets in the City, and provided recommendations for improvements to mitigate collision rates. An increasing number of El Cerrito residents are concerned about vehicular speeds, traffic volumes and pedestrian and bicycle obstacles in their neighborhoods. The City has responded to community concerns by installing standard traffic control devices (warning and regulatory signs, pavement markings, striping and curb markings) and speed humps, deploying the speed feedback trailer, and enforcement of traffic and parking regulations. Generally, the City addressed resident requests on a case-by-case basis – with each request becoming a unique process and involving extensive City resources. The problem became how to place these requests in context – which have priority, which represent “normal” traffic conditions on residential streets, and what types of measures would provide equitable, effective and timely solutions.

The last in a series of landslides removed a section of Wildcat Drive (approximately 100 feet long and 10 feet wide) and the abutting valley gutter and embankment. Emergency work was performed that stabilized the remaining roadway. In its current configuration, the road serves the primary public need of access and utility pathways. However, the emergency repair work requires traffic to constrict to a one-lane path, and the sheet pile retaining wall is considered to be adverse in appearance. Conceptual design was completed in the late 1990s for a retaining wall that would enable restoration of the original roadway width. This remedy is costly and currently unfunded. Other possible remedies that include restoring the stability of the abutting private land could be considered along with a funding partnership with the affected property owners.

The City's General Plan calls for three specific areas along the San Pablo Avenue corridor to become "pedestrian- friendly, mixed-use villages with ground floor retail uses and upper floor office and residential use". Each of the three identified areas has its own unique character and function and will be connected via the Ohlone Greenway and a vibrant San Pablo Avenue to two BART stations and multiple transit stops. The San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan calls for transit-oriented neighborhoods and in-fill development around the BART Stations. Continued streetscape and open space improvements in the corridor would capitalize on the momentum created by previous Redevelopment Agency projects. The San Pablo Avenue and BART Stations are important transportation facilities that serve residents and visitors of El Cerrito. The project will improve streets for users of all modes. For pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users, the addition of the proposed improvements will create a friendlier and safer environment.

The El Cerrito Circulation Plan for Bicyclists, adopted in 2007, and Pedestrians and Citywide Pedestrian Safety Assessment, conducted in 2009, both call for development of a safe routes to school program. School zones are particularly hazardous areas for pedestrians and bicyclists with many parents dropping off or picking up students. However, there are many benefits of having children walk or bike to school, including improving physical health and reducing traffic congestion. The safe routes to school program will serve K through 12th-grade students in public and private schools throughout the City. City staff is collaborating with WCCTAC Agencies and the Contra Costa County Health Division to provide a Safe Routes to School Program for education and encouragement activities at elementary schools throughout West Contra Costa as part of a federal Safe Routes to School grant. Staff will seek state and federal funding opportunities for capital improvements identified as part of this effort and other City efforts.

The feasibility study determined that the project should be done in two independent phases: Modification to the I-80 and i-580 ramp termini on the west side of I-80; and re-alignment of Pierce Street to intersect with Central Avenue at San Mateo Avenue on the east side of I-80. The former would be on Caltrans facilities, and the latter would be on city facilities (both El Cerrito and Richmond). Project Costs Central Avenue suffers from chronic congestion during peak hours including weekday commute hours and weekend days. The cause is the three closely spaced signalized intersections along Central Avenue on either side of I-80 combined with heavy turning movements - particularly certain left turn movements. The westside project consists of relatively common roadway and signal modifications that require no additional right of way acquisition. Environmental is complete and design work is ready to beginning approval by City of Richmond, where the improvements will be constructed. Funding is available from the SAFETY-LU federal demonstration grant. The eastside project is more complex as it requires acquisition of significant right of way over currently commercially-occupied land. A new terminus of Pierce Street at San Mateo Street lies within El Cerrito, but all other portions of the work (including right of way acquisition) lies within the City of Richmond. Funding would be provided through Measure J Transportation funds, which will not be available until 2015. Some funding is available to begin a more detailed design, and perform necessary environmental studies prior to 2015. Eastside work may need to coordinate with private development on adjacent land.
