3. STREET NAMES ALONG BIRCH ROAD ALIGNMENT
A memo was received from the Mayor to investigate the irregularities with street name changes for Birch
Road that may cause confusion for public safety personnel as they respond to calls for service. Staff gave
a short presentation showing the location map, explaining the process for naming new streets and going
over the potential consequences of renaming this segment. Staff wanted to have discussion and direction
from the Safety Commission. There was consensus to extend Santa Diana Road over State Street so that
Santa Diana Road would turn into Birch Road and State Street would be eliminated. There are no homes

SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 2__
Meeting Date 3/04/2020
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING THE INSTALLATION OF AN ALL-WAY STOP AT
THE T-INTERSECTION OF ‘F’ STREET AND WOODLAWN AVENUE
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Traffic Engineer
City Staff received a request from a resident for the installation of an all-way stop at the T-intersection
(intersection) of ‘F’ Street and Woodlawn Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION:
Safety Commission adopt a resolution approving the installation of an all-way stop control at the
intersection of ‘F’ Street and Woodlawn Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
City Staff received a request from a resident requesting the installation of an all-way stop at the
intersection of ‘F’ Street and Woodlawn Avenue. The intersection has proximity to the Metropolitan
Transit System Trolley Station at E Street. Staff conducted an all-way stop warrant study per Council
Policy #478-03, the results of which are presented below.
When evaluating an intersection for all-way stop control, various factors are studied to determine the
need for an installation. The physical factors (topography) of an area, vehicle volumes and speeds,
roadway alignment (vertical and horizontal curves), accident history, pedestrian volumes and available
sight distance are all taken into consideration.
The intersection of ‘F’ Street and Woodlawn Avenue is a three-leg intersection. Currently, only the
southbound lane on Woodlawn Avenue is controlled using a stop sign. ‘F’ Street is an eastbound and
westbound 64-foot wide collector, with two lanes of travel in each direction and is not controlled at
Woodlawn Avenue, with an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 9,353. The posted speed limit is 35 mph.
Woodlawn Avenue is a 40-foot collector road with an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of 2,253
(northbound approach only, T-intersection) and a 25 mph posted speed limit.
A review of the accident history for at this intersection had 1 reported accident susceptible to correction
by an all-way stop control within a 12-month period.

An all-way stop warrant evaluation was conducted and the subject intersection was awarded a total of
57 points based on the following conditions:
Criteria 1 - Accident History: (5 points assigned out of a maximum of 25 points)
5 points were assigned for 1 accident.
Criteria 2 - Unusual Conditions: (10 points assigned out of a maximum 21 points)
1 point assigned for high approach speed.
2 points assigned for intersection adjacent to bus stop
7 points assigned for intersection adjacent to school bus drop-off
Criteria 3 -Pedestrian Volume: (20 points assigned out of a maximum 20 points)
20 points were assigned because over 41 pedestrians were observed crossing ‘F’ Street between
2:45 pm to 3:45 pm on 12/12/2019.
Criteria 4 - Traffic Volume: (18 points assigned out of a maximum of 24 points)
18 points were assigned.
Page 3, Item 2__
Meeting Date 3/04/2020
Criteria 5 - Traffic Volume Difference: (4 points assigned out of a maximum 10 points)
4 points were assigned because of the intersection volume ratio. Woodlawn Avenue volumes
were 44.0% of the approach volumes on ‘F’ Street.
CONCLUSION:
This intersection received a total of 57 points out of a possible 100 points, where a minimum of 45
points are required to justify the installation of an all-way stop control.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for the installation of two stop signs, stop bars, crosswalks, pavement legends and a
pedestrian ramp at this intersection is $12,000. This cost will be funded by an existing Traffic
Engineering Capital Improvement Project.

SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT
Item __ 3____
Meeting Date 03/04/2020
ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CHULA VISTA CITY
COUNCIL INCREASE THE EXISTING SPEED LIMIT ON PASEO
DEL REY BETWEEN EAST ‘H’ STREET AND EAST ‘J’ STREET
FROM 35 MPH TO 40 MPH, AND THAT SCHEDULE X OF THE
REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY
ENGINEER BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THESE SPEED LIMITS
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Traffic Engineer
Staff completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey for a segment of Paseo Del Rey in
accordance with the California Vehicle Code, which indicates that the posting of speed limits
that are not the maximum or standard prima facie speed limits be determined by an Engineering
and Traffic Survey (E&TS) for each street with a posted speed limit within the City. Based on
the results of the E&TS, staff has determined that the speed limit on Paseo Del Rey between E.
‘H’ Street and E. ‘J’ Street be increased from 35 mph to 40 mph (see Attachment 1, Location
Plat).
RECOMMENDATION: That the Safety Commission adopt the resolution.
DISCUSSION:
The California Vehicle Code (CVC) establishes minimum and maximum prima facie speed
limits for all streets in the State. The minimum prima facie speed limit is 25 miles per hour
(MPH) for specific roadways and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH (55 MPH for undivided
roads) and an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) is required to change the prima facie
speed limit from these preset limits for any City roadway.
The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five to ten years
to determine if the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the age of the
E&TS or changes in roadway and traffic conditions. In Feb 2020, staff completed an E&TS for
the follow segment and determined a proposed speed increase.
Currently, the existing posted speed limit on Paseo Del Rey between E. ‘H’ Street and E. ‘J’
Street is 35 mph. It is proposed to increase the speed limit for this segment to 40 mph.
City staff completed a speed survey for above segments in accordance with the California
Vehicle Code. As described in the California Vehicle Code, the survey shall include:
(1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements;
(2) Accident records;
(3) Traffic/roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.
Page 2, Item _3__
Meeting Date 03/04/2020
Physical Conditions
The following information describes the existing conditions along the segment of Paseo Del Rey:
Class I Collector.
Length/Width – 1,113 feet (0.21 miles) long and 36’ to 52’ wide.
Average Daily Traffic: 12,431
Number of Lanes: four lanes (2 per direction).
Existing Speed Limits – Posted 35 mph.
85th Percentile Speed: 41 mph.
Striping – Four lanes of traffic and a Yellow striped median.
Parking – Parking only in front of the church, NB direction.
Bike Lanes in both directions.
Horizontal Alignment – Horizontal Curve south of East “H” Street with a radius of 50’
over a length of 392’ yields a design speed of 38 mph.
Vertical Alignment – Crest Vertical Curve north of East “J” Street with a -0.2% to -7.3%
grade change over 400’ along the centerline yields a design speed of 42 mph
Accident Rate History – The accident rate at this segment is 0.25 accidents per million
vehicle miles, which is lower than the rate of 1.56 for similar roadways in the State of
California (2016).
Traffic Calming
A previous E&TS was conducted in 2016 that yielded the same results, an 85th percentile speed
higher than 40 mph. A street paving project in 2016 was completed on this segment and the
traveled lanes were narrowed. In late 2018, another ET&S was conducted and the 85th
percentile speed was still 41 mph.

Speed Enforceability
If the proposed speed increase is not approved, the following are the only means of enforcing
speed on Segments 1 and 3:
Basic Speed Law: police car matches speed of vehicle and determines that speed is
unsafe for current conditions. Infeasible due to insufficient police availability and the
segment is too short.
Maximum Speed Law: use RADAR/LiDAR methods to enforce speed limit of 65 mph.
Page 3, Item _3__
Meeting Date 03/04/2020
If the proposed speed limit is approved, police can use RADAR/LiDAR to enforce the approved
posted speed limit.
CONCLUSION:
When speed limits are appropriately established the following objectives are achieved:
- Meaningful, unambiguous enforcement
- Voluntary public compliance
- Clear identification of the unreasonable violator
- Elimination of unjustifiable “tolerances” of higher speed travel
Based on the 85th percentile speed of the roadway, as well as a low collision rate outlined in the
E&TS, staff has determined that the speed limit on Paseo Del Rey between E. ‘H’ Street and E.
‘J’ Street be increased from 35 mph to 40 mph. Due to the design speed of the roadway, an
advisory “35 mph Curve” warning sign will be installed in both directions prior to the curves.
Should the City Council establish the proposed 40 mph speed limit, Schedule X of the register
maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit increase:
Paseo Del Rey, beginning at E. ‘H’ Street and ending at E. ‘J’ Street, proposed Speed
Limit Increase to 40 mph.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The increase of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and speed
limit legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering Capital Improvement
Project, TF-332, Signing and Striping Program.

COUNCIL INCREASE THE EXISTING SPEED LIMIT ON

‘J’ STREET FROM 35 MPH TO 40 MPH, AND THAT
SCHEDULE X OF THE REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER BE AMENDED TO
REFLECT THE REVISED SPEED LIMIT
WHEREAS, staff completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) on a segment of
Paseo Del Rey in accordance with the California Vehicle Code (CVC), which stipulates that
posted speed limits be determined by an Engineering and Traffic Survey for each street with a
posted speed limit within the City; and
WHEREAS, as described in the CVC, the E&TS shall include: 1) Prevailing speeds as
determined by traffic engineering measurements; 2) Accident records; and 3) Traffic/roadside
conditions not apparent to the driver; and
WHEREAS, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that the
speed limit shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed. Also,
if the 5 mph reduction is applied, the E&TS shall document in writing the conditions and
justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer;
and
WHEREAS, the CVC indicates that an E&TS may be valid (and thus enforceable by the
Police Department) for a period of up to ten (10) years or a time when conditions of the roadway
change, whichever is sooner; and
WHEREAS, with a valid E&TS, the posted speed limit on street can be enforced “prima
facie,” which means that the Police Department can use RADAR/LIDAR technology to enforce
the speed limit and the burden of proving whether the driver was proceeding at a safe speed is on
the driver; and
WHEREAS, the E&TS for Paseo Del Rey has been expired since November 3, 2010, the
Police Department can only enforce speed on Paseo Del Rey with respect to the Basic Speed
Law, which would require that a police officer to follow vehicles the officer deems to be
traveling at unsafe speeds and that he/she prove that the driver was proceeding at an unsafe
speed; and
WHEREAS, denial of this resolution perpetuates the expired status of the E&TS for
Paseo Del Rey such that the Police Department will be unable to enforce the existing posted
speed limit using RADAR/LIDAR technology; and
Resolution No. SC 2020-____
Page 2
WHEREAS, based on the 85th percentile speed of the roadway and the collision rate
referenced in the E&TS, staff has determined that speed limit on Paseo Del Rey between E. ‘H’
Street and E. ‘J’ Street should be increase from 35 mph to 40 mph; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Safety Commission of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby recommend that the City Council, establish the proposed 40 mph speed
limit and that Schedule X of the register maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be
amended to reflect the speed limit increase as follows:
Paseo Del Rey, beginning at E. ‘H’ Street and ending at E. ‘J’ Street, proposed
speed limit increase to 40 mph.
