ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the Safety Commission of the City of Chula Vista
Recommending the Approval of the 2020 Active Transportation Master
Plan by City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Civil Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: Safety Commission adopt the resolution recommending the approval
of the 2020 Active Transportation Master Plan by City Council.
DISCUSSION
In order to receive regional and state funding for roadway improvements, the City is required to
have Pedestrian and Bikeway Master Plans approved by City Council and on record with CalTrans.
The 2020 Active Transportation Master Plan serves as a combined update to both the Pedestrian
and Bikeway Master Plans, with a goal to promote and upgrade pedestrian and bicycle
transportation connectivity within the City in accordance with complete streets principles.
The 2010 Pedestrian Master Plan and the 2011 Bikeway Master Plans were adopted by City
Council per Resolutions 2010-170 and 2011-013, respectively. In March 2015, the City applied
for and later received Active Transportation Grant Program funds through SANDAG for the Multi-
Modal Pedestrian/Bikeway Master Plan (Resolution 2015-049). The City issued a Request for
Proposals for the preparation of the Master Plan and selected Chen Ryan Associates as the prime
consultant (Resolution 2018-170). This Master Plan was later renamed as the Active
Transportation Master Plan and is the subject of adoption with the proposed resolution.
The objective of the 2020 Active Transportation Master Plan (Plan) is to review and make
recommendations on how the current bikeway/pedestrian network within the City can be updated
to best suit the needs of the City in the future. The planning efforts include the integration of
various modes of transportation including transfers between modes at transit centers and park-and-
ride facilities.
The bicycle goals include:
• To provide a bicyclist the opportunity to ride to any chosen destination, thereby making
the bicycle a viable transportation alternative.
• To provide a system of bicycle routes with maximum possible safety.
• To provide facilities and services necessary for the bikeway system.
• To foster the development of an interconnecting bikeway system throughout the region.
• To support healthy lifestyles among residents through increasing opportunities for regular
physical activity.
• To provide efficient multi-modal access and connections to and between activity centers.

Meeting Date 01/29/20
• To promote alternative modes of transportation, which are intended to encourage a healthy
lifestyle and reduce reliance on the automobile, and support the viability of transit through
land use distribution and design.
The pedestrian goals include:
• To guide the way the City plans and implements pedestrian improvements considering the
City’s focus ensuring safe routes to schools.
• The Plan will implement the urban form and neighborhood quality policies by facilitating
pedestrian improvement projects that will enhance the pedestrian environment, safety, and
mobility options throughout the City.
• The Plan will establish a comprehensive plan for identifying, prioritizing, and
implementing pedestrian projects and programs to improve the pedestrian environment and
increase walking as a mode of transportation Citywide.
• The Plan will identify and prioritize potential pedestrian improvement project locations
and provide descriptions of the types of improvements needed to improve the pedestrian
environment.
• By identifying and prioritizing potential pedestrian improvement projects, the Plan will
promote an orderly implementation of citywide pedestrian improvement projects.
The main components of the Plan are as follows:
1. Surveying and Identifying Existing Conditions: This included examining and analyzing
the current physical infrastructure connectivity, the quality of pedestrian and biking facilities, user
safety, and the potential for demand. This also included compiling and considering census data,
such as age group percentages, and population and employment density.
2. Public Input/Community Involvement: In preparation of the Plan, the consultant team
participated in several community events for public outreach, including the Day of the Child Event,
Chula Vista Harborfest and the Otay Ranch Farmers Market. The community engagement process
was conducted in two phases and located in both eastern and western Chula Vista. During Phase
1, the outreach focused on existing conditions. Phase 2 focused on soliciting feedback on the
proposed networks and community priorities. A web-based and map-based questionnaire was also
available, which was comprised of questions about commute and exercise trips, and
comfortable/uncomfortable places to walk and ride a bicycle.
A Stakeholder Working Group was also formed with a diverse group of internal and external
stakeholders who advised the Plan development process throughout (including CalTrans,
SANDAG, MTS, Bike Walk Chula Vista, Chula Vista Walks, Eastlake Cycling Club, SD Bike
Coalition, Chula Vista Elementary School District, Chula Vista Safety Commission and
Commission on Aging).
3. Preferred Pedestrian and Bicycle Network: A series of policies were developed as
supporting mechanisms, intended to aid the City in working towards the goals. The policies are
divided amongst Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement and Evaluation – each
playing an important part of a successful multimodal program.

Meeting Date 01/29/20
The key planning considerations driving the pedestrian recommendation development process
include prioritizing sidewalk gap closures, focusing treatment and safe crossings within high
pedestrian activity areas, and establishing a mechanism for identifying future site-specific
improvements citywide.
The bicycle network recommendations were formed in consideration of the key findings from the
existing conditions analysis and the public engagement activities conducted over the course of the
project. Bicycle related opportunities consist of the strong street grid in the older, western part of
Chula Vista, wide street widths in eastern Chula Vista, and significant transit investments within
the City – consisting of the Blue Line Trolley, the South Bay Rapid Bus, and local bus services.
4. Implementation/Prioritization Strategies: The prioritization process is intended to help
identify which bicycle and pedestrian projects are likely to have the greatest benefit to the City’s
active transportation system. The Plan also identifies possible funding sources to aid staff with
future project implementation.
Due to its’ large size, the Active Transportation Master Plan document is available for review on
the City’s Active Transportation Program webpage.
