ENGINEER PROCEED WITH BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ACCESS PROJECT AT THE GOTHAM
STREET/CHATEAU COURT WALL
Staff Recommendation: Safety Commission adopt resolution.
Principal Civil Engineer Rivera gave a short presentation. In the 2005 & 2011 Chula Vista Bikeway Master
Plan, providing an opening for bicyclists and pedestrians was listed as a project for the Gotham Street wall.
Numerous public meetings in 2004/2005 & 2010/2011 were conducted on these master plans and they
included input from the public on city needs. Gotham Street and Chateau Court currently are designated bike
routes to connect to/from destination points such as schools (Southwestern College), stores and other points
of interest/neighborhoods. The City is not planning to provide access at this location for motor vehicles. Public
opinion is requested to help determine whether the City should proceed with a project that would create a wall
opening (for pedestrian and bicyclist access only) at this location.
Commissioner Marroquin asked Police staff about crime at this location. Sgt. Tarr stated that this was a low
crime area. Commissioner Cervantes asked about the dimensions for pedestrian and wheelchair access.
Public hearing opened.

Page 2, Item 3__
Meeting Date 2/7/18
City’s General Plan and further described as an implementation project in the Urban Core
Specific Plan.
Following interviews of planning consultants in early 2016, the City selected the urban design
firm, MIG and its team of sub-consultants (“Design Team”), to prepare the Master Plan. Primary
sub-consultants include Fuscoe Engineers (civil engineering), Chen Ryan (transportation
engineering), and Selbert Perkins Design Collaborative (Signage and Wayfinding). Development
of the Master Plan commenced in the fall of 2016 and the Design Team is now in the process of
finalizing the document for presentation to the City Council on March 6, 2018 for approval.
Project Location
The Project is an approximately 1.25 mile long segment of F Street from Bay Boulevard to Third
Avenue (Attachment 1). Located in the northwest area of the City of Chula Vista, the project
will create a plan for a "Promenade" that will link the City's downtown Third Avenue Village,
the Civic Center, the unused railroad bridge over I-5, the regional Bayshore Bikeway, the
Bayside Park, and the City's planned Bayfront. This linkage will provide an opportunity to
create synergy between these distinct areas of the City and create better access to all.
Primary land uses found along the project corridor are commercial uses west of Third Avenue,
Chula Vista’s Civic Center at 4th Avenue, single-family residential westward to Ash, commercial
at Broadway and multi-family residential to Woodlawn Avenue. The former City Public Works
Yard, MTS railroad tracks, the abandoned railroad bridge over Interstate 5, and Bay Boulevard
Park round out the west end of the project area.
Additional uses near the F Street corridor include Memorial Park, Friendship Park, three schools
at the G Street and 4th Avenue intersection (Chula Vista Middle School Vista Square Elementary
School, and Davila Day School), Scripps Mercy Hospital, and the Chula Vista Bayfront .
Existing Conditions
F Street between Third Avenue and Bay Boulevard varies between a two-lane road and four-lane
road with turn pockets at some intersections. The entire corridor is curbed and only a small
portion of the corridor is without sidewalks (north side between Woodlawn Avenue and the F
Street bridge). The right-of-way width is a consistent 80 feet, generally from back of sidewalk to
back of sidewalk. Curb-to-curb width varies between 40 feet and 80 feet. There are five
landscaped medians between City Hall and Third Avenue. In these areas, curb-to-curb width for
the westbound and eastbound lanes is approximately 20 feet to 22 feet. Four intersections along
F Street are signalized including Broadway, 5th Avenue, 4th Avenue and Third Avenue. F Street
bridges over Interstate 5 near Bay Boulevard and an unused railroad bridge also spans across I-5
20 feet to the north. North-south MTS trolley tracks are immediately east of I-5 and include
crossing arms for traffic control.
Posted speed limits are 35 MPH west of Broadway and 30 MPH east of Broadway. Average
Daily Trips (ADT) varies from 5,486 ADT west of Broadway and 7,921 ADT east of 4th Avenue.
Page 3, Item 3__
Meeting Date 2/7/18
Level of Service (LOS) throughout the corridor is an “A.” There are a total of 136 parallel
parking spaces on F Street (72 on the north side and 64 on the south side). F Street is designated
as a Class III Bike Route (vehicles and bicycles share the travel lanes with vehicles).
The existing pedestrian circulation system consists of relatively narrow, yet standard, five foot-
wide sidewalks that are often shared by pedestrians and bicyclists. The sidewalks are generally
located in the northerly and southerly portions of the public right -of-way. There is no sidewalk
on the north side for approximately 260 feet beginning 200 feet west of Woodlawn Avenue. In
addition to painted crosswalks at the signalized intersections, there are painted crosswalks at two
four-way stop-controlled F Street intersections of Bay Boulevard and Garrett Avenue. A painted
mid-block crossing at City Hall between 4th Avenue and Fire Station #1 exists. There are
currently no painted crosswalks between Bay Boulevard and Broadway, a distance of
approximately 2,200 feet, nor are there any painted crosswalks between Broadway and 4th
Avenue (other than the City Hall mid-block crossing), a distance of approximately 2,500 feet.
Specific information regarding the number of collisions within the corridor was collected over a
five-year period between 2011 and 2015. During that time span, five pedestrian-involved
collisions, four bicycle-involved collisions and 35 vehicle-vehicle collisions were reported
within the F Street study area. Eight of the 35 vehicle-vehicle collisions occurred at the
Woodlawn Avenue intersection.
Community Input
City Staff and MIG initiated work on the Project by conducting a community open house to
gather input from the area’s stakeholders. The first open house was conducted December 15,
2016 at the weekly Farmer’s Market on Third Avenue adjacent to the project study area. This
open house included a questionnaire and a visual preference survey that requested participants to
select images that reflected their vision for the street. The questionnaire was also posted on the
City’s website. We had a successful response with 197 community members responding to the
questionnaire, including approximately 17 participants at the workshop. Respondents provided
feedback with highly desirable design features or considerations, such as pedestrian-scaled
lighting, undergrounding of existing overhead utilities, dedicated bicycle ways, street
trees/enhanced landscaping, maintaining existing on-street parking and new signage and way-
finding elements.
Utilizing this information and background research of the project area, the Design Team
developed three initial concepts that were presented to staff, providing various multi-modal
circulation options; however, through its meetings with staff, the three concepts were reduced to
two prior to the second workshop.
A second open house to present initial concepts was held on Saturday March 11, 2017. It was
conducted as a “pop-up workshop” and was held on the temporarily closed westbound lanes of F
Street between 4th Avenue and Fire Station #1. Participants were able to view over 15 display
boards depicting various proposed improvements within two alternative designs. Members of
the design team and staff were on hand to provide explanations, answer questions, and receive
additional feedback from the community.
Page 4, Item 3__
Meeting Date 2/7/18
After synthesizing the input from workshop #2, t he design team narrowed the alternative designs
into a Preferred Plan which was then presented to the community in a third workshop on June 8
2017, at City Council Chambers. The Preferred Plan has been further developed into the Master
Plan and presented in this report.
The Streetscape Master Plan
Overall improvements to the project area propose to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle
experience by expanding the existing five-foot sidewalk to create a 12’ wide multi-use pathway
the full length of the corridor and on both sides of the street. Landscaped and lighted parkways,
bulb-outs, plaza opportunities, new or improved crosswalks and the undergrounding of overhead
utilities will also add to the improved experience. Vehicular travel lanes will be reduced to one
lane in each direction allowing for the expansion of the public realm.
Pedestrian Improvements
The development of a 12’ multi-use path will greatly enhance the pedestrian experience
providing a co mfortable walk/strolling zone connecting the historic downtown to the emerging
bayfront. Bulb-outs, which offer a refuge area and shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians,
are proposed at Woodlawn Avenue, Broadway, and 5th Avenue. New pedestrian-scaled lighting,
street trees and understory planting will be included in the parkway planting areas adjacent to the
multi-use path. The new and improved continuous parkway planting area provides a safer
separation between bicycles and pedestrians, and vehicular traffic. Landscaped areas to capture
stormwater to filter contaminants will be considered during the project’s design development
phase. It is acknowledged that the bicycle commuter would have the option to ride within the
multi-use path or remain in the vehicular travel lane as a Class III bike route.
Existing crosswalks will be enhanced to high-visibility, zebra-striped, continental crosswalks at
controlled intersections including a new crosswalk at 5th Avenue. New painted crosswalks are
proposed on all legs at the uncontrolled intersections at Woodlawn Avenue and Beech Avenue.
Additionally, two new painted mid-block crosswalks are proposed at the following locations:
Between Broadway and Woodlawn Avenue (approximately 560 feet west of Broadway)
Landis Avenue (east side)
A warrant analysis would be required at a later date to confirm the need for the two proposed
crosswalks at Woodlawn Avenue and Beech Avenue, as well as, the proposed mid-block
crosswalks.
Throughout the corridor, small plazas and seating areas are proposed to provide places to pause
and enjoy public artworks or learn about Chula Vista’s history. The Master Plan includes a
proposal to utilize the unused railroad bridge as a multi-use path that features signage and
placemaking elements. The intersections at Woodlawn, Broadway, 5th Avenue, and 4th Avenue
are possible locations where the public realm could be enhanced to provide seating and
educational opportunities adjacent to the multi-use path, enticing users to traverse the corridor.

Meeting Date 2/7/18
Bikeway Improvements
The City’s current Bicycle Master Plan (2011) does not include any recommendations for
changes to the existing F Street Class III bikeway designation. The Urban Core Specific Plan
(2007 and amended in 2015), which includes most of the Master Plan study area, identifies a
multi-use path (11 feet wide) from 4th Avenue to Interstate 5, and a small portion as a Class II
bikeway (five feet wide) between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue.
As indicated above, the proposed improvements for the entire F Street corridor between Third
Avenue and Bay Blvd. include a 12-foot wide multi-use path, with designated areas for
pedestrians and bicyclists. While multi-use path is intended to serve the casual cyclist and
families, the bicycle commuter would have the option to travel along the multi-use path or
continue to use the Class III bike route along F Street.
Travel Lane Improvements
Where there are currently two, 13-foot travel lanes in each direction, the Master Plan proposes to
reduce vehicular travel to one 11-foot wide lane each direction, allowing for the development of
the multi-use path. Between East Park Lane (the alley just east of Broadway) and the trolley
tracks, the Master Plan proposes to reduce the two lanes in each direction to one lane in each
direction with a center turn lane.
At the west of the project, a roundabout is proposed at the intersection of F Street and Bay
Boulevard to reduce congestion and increase travel movements which are busiest during the
morning and evening rush hours.
There are no proposed reductions in the number of lanes between East Park Lane and 4 th Avenue
as this segment already is one lane in each direction. The multi-use path will utilize some of the
existing parkway in this area. Between 4th Avenue and Garrett Avenue, the two lanes in each
direction would be reduced to one lane in each direction to allow for the inclusion of the multi-
use path and parkway.
The two eastbound lanes exist today between Garrett Avenue and Third Avenue. The segment
between Garrett and Landis Avenue will be reduced to one lane while east of Landis Avenue, the
right-turn lane onto Third Avenue will be maintained. For this short distance on the south side,
the multi-purpose path is reduced to approximately eight feet to allow for the left-turn and right-
turn lanes onto Third Avenue.
Between Garrett and Third Avenues, the 13 on-street parallel parking spaces on the north side
will be removed to allow for the creation of the multi-use path and landscaped parkway. The
existing parking structure across the street at the southwest corner of F Street and Third Avenue,
as well as, existing parking spaces one block to the east on F Street provides for ample mitigation
for the removed parking spaces.
Page 6, Item 3__
Meeting Date 2/7/18
Public Transit
Currently, there are two bus lines operating on F Street. Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) bus
line #932 travels on F Street between Woodlawn Avenue and Broadway (with a bus stop on each
side), and MTS bus line #701 travels on F Street between 4th Avenue and Third Avenue (one
stop on the north side and three stops on the south side of the street). MTS is contemplating a
third line, bus line #704, which would operate between Woodlawn Avenue and Third Avenue in
both directions. The MTS proposal includes one bus stop on F Street westbound, between
Broadway and East Park Lane, and potential stops at Fifth Avenue in both directions, if ridership
warrants them.
The General Plan contemplates a bus shuttle system to link the Urban Core Subarea with the
Bayfront to provide residents and visitors with convenient access to transit stations, as well as
shopping and services in both areas and to provide access to the Bayfront Planning Area from
other parts of the city. F Street is envisioned as a key link of a potential route this shuttle could
traverse along with Third Avenue and H Street. Further analysis would be required to determine
the appropriate vehicles and route for a circulator shuttle.
Wayfinding Program
The Master Plan includes a program for three types of gateway elements that corresponds to the
relative importance and visibility of the intersecting streets. These are envisioned as vertical
columns that include lighting and public art. In addition, banners on poles are proposed at the
west and east ends of the F Street corridor. The banners will be used to signify the terminus
points of the corridor. Banners will employ both seasonal and special event theme s, as well as,
reflecting the two main branding themes of Chula Vista History and Chula Vista Nature. The
Master Plan also includes examples and location of interpretive signage and art, as well as
directional signage.
Conclusion
The F Street Streetscape Master Plan proposes distinct recommendations for improvements that
will enhance the street as a safer corridor from Third Avenue to Bay Boulevard without
sacrificing levels of service and vehicle operations. The many proposed improvements, such as
reduced travel lanes, a protected 12-foot wide multi-use path, high-visibility crosswalks and mid-
block crossings, bulb-outs, pedestrian lighting, street trees and parkway planting areas,
interpretive and wayfinding signage with public art , expansion of the public realm with the
development of plazas throughout the corridor and by capitalizing on the unused railroad bridge
over I-5, and the undergrounding of overhead utilities will enhance the neighborhood and
provide an attractive and desirable linkage between historic village of downtown Chula Vista
and the forthcoming Bayfront development.
The Master Plan improves mobility for all modes of transportation in this complete streets plan.
Ultimate implementation of the plan will take many years to be constructed over many phases of
Page 7, Item 3__
Meeting Date 2/7/18
construction. With the adoption of the Master Plan, the City would be able to apply for and
obtain grant funding for the recommended improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of this report will not have any direct fiscal impact. The report may have a positive
indirect fiscal impact by enabling the City to apply for and obtain grant funding for the
recommended improvements.

RESOLUTION OF THE SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING ADOPTION OF THE F
STREET PROMENADE STREETSCAPE MASTER PLAN BY
CITY COUNCIL
WHEREAS, on May 23, 2014, SANDAG issued a Call for Projects from local
jurisdictions in San Diego County wishing to apply for the Active Transportation Program
(“ATP Funding”) for use on planning projects meeting certain criteria. The City of Chula Vista
(“City”) successfully applied for ATP Funding for the preparation of the F Street Promenade
Streetscape Master Plan (“Master Plan”) and received a notice to proceed from SANDAG on
August 14, 2015; and
WHEREAS, the goal of the project is to develop a Streetscape Master Plan for a
Complete Street: A balanced, connected, safe, and convenient transportation network designed to
serve all users, regardless of their age or ability, that will also provide multi-modal access (via
walking, biking, and transit) to downtown Chula Vista on Third Avenue, the Chula Vista Civic
Center, the E Street Trolley Station, and the Chula Vista Bayfront. The need for a streetscape
plan along this roadway segment in the Urban Core is identified in both the City’s General Plan
and further described as an implementation project in the Urban Core Specific Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the City and Design Team initiated work on the Project by conducting
community workshops to gather input from the area's stakeholders to guide the design and
refinement of the Master Plan. Residents, property and business owners within a 100-foot buffer
were invited to participate in three community workshops held at the Downtown Chula Vista
Farmers Market on December 15, 2016, on-site at F Street between 4th Avenue and Fire Station 1
on March 11, 2017, and at the City of Chula Vista Council Chambers on June 8, 2017. In
addition, a questionnaire was mailed to obtain input from residents, and notices were published
in the Star News informing the community of the workshops; and,
WHEREAS, the F Street Promenade Master Plan is an approximately 1.25 mile long
segment of F Street from Third Avenue to Bay Boulevard that will link downtown’s Village
District to the City’s up and coming Bayfront. The Project envisions street and sidewalk
improvements to enhance the corridor through the undergrounding of utilities, reduction of
vehicular travel lanes, addition of a 12’ wide multi-use path, landscaped parkways, extended
curb returns at intersections, enhanced paving, pedestrian-scale lighting, site furnishings and a
unified planting scheme. Placemaking opportunities and the ability to expand the public realm
will enhance the pedestrian experience. The Project, through its design features, will also
promote energy efficiency and water conservation; and,
WHEREAS, the plan has been completed and is being presented to the Safety
Commission for discussion prior to presentation and adoption by the Chula Vista City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Safety Commission of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby accept the staff report and recommends adoption of the F Street
Promenade Streetscape Master Plan by City Council.
