East Rienstra has Radar Monitoring Devices plus a 25mph speed limit. Enabling emergency vehicles ‘Complete Control’ of Nacion plus Not Taking Into Consideration the Neighborhood Saloon baffles the Nacion Crusaders’ thought processes! South Nacion from L Street to East Naples has a winding hill with a 25mph speed limit and stop signs. Holy Smokes! Crusaders have seen emergency vehicles on South Nacion and it is not a ‘Collector’s Street.’ Page 4 of 105 04/13/2023 SC 2 Page 5 of 105 04/13/2023 SC 3 Harbison Avenue off East Plaza Blvd. has this configuration.

Good afternoon, Was it a ‘Backroom Deal-Pay Back?’ Those City Council members going back 40- years had no idea the trauma/angst/frustration/loss of property— vehicles and homes struck by their decision. Having interviewed present day residents of north Nacion ‘Not a single person recalls having any input for Nacion’s becoming The Bonnieville Salt Flats Mecca/Autobahn of Chula Vista.’ Crusaders appreciate what has been done so far to FIX Nacion. Same Old, Same Old— Lack of Transparency Then and Now! Crusaders have been introduced to NextDoor, a community Social Media Platform. We have been announcing the Traffic Safety Commission’s March 9, 2023 meeting. Crusaders want to know options available to cut the speed of 80% of vehicles using Nacion from 36.5 mph to the posted 30mph designated as a ‘Collector’s Street for emergency vehicles?’ Crusaders are a savvy Senior Citizen Group whose family members are Viet Nam Vets. We will continue ‘Our Goal To Protect Students Walking On Nacion to Attend Their 4-Hilltop Area Schools!’ Former Council Member Jill Galvez told the Crusaders that Nacion is a challenge and possibly a future vote needs to take place! Oops Dark Side of Democracy- those ‘Free Loading Speeders would VOTE to increase Nacion’s speed limit to 35mph and up! Why? Warning: External Email Page 16 of 105 04/13/2023 SC 2 They Do Not Care!

Okay, South Nacion Is Not A Collector’s Street! Why Not! Crusaders have seen emergency vehicles using South Nacion and speed limit is 25mph. Hypocrisy/ Discrimination or Just Being PLAYED! Crusaders are aware that as you make a right turn from North Nacion over the J Street Bridge, there is a 25mph School Zone speed limit! Crusaders want North end of Nacion to Become a School Zone as well! Throwing Smoke in our Faces is a Distraction used frequently to ‘Shut Folks Up!’ Why Place a Guard Rail at the North End of Nacion! This Guard Rail shows that bureaucrats know Speeding is Alive and Well on Nacion! Torcido- Busted! Recommendations! 1) Cross Walk Signs on North End of Nacion and placed on West End of J Street Bridge 2) Reduce the speed back to 25mph North End of Nacion! More photos will follow showing measures taken on East Naples for St.Pius X School which is a block away. Kellogg School has traffic issues also. Next email will discuss these two schools. Crusaders are being stopped and information is being given. NextDoor or word of mouth has been driving the Crusaders to make school zones Safer! Crusaders Will Not Cease and Desist!

First Name Aurora Last Name Not answered Email Address Comments Overreach and abuse of power. The city engineer and his assistant Mr. Ben Herrera believe that retaliating against me for speaking up at the last commission meeting is acceptable. Mr. Herrera had emailed my tenant saying they would paint 18 inches on the neighbor's driveway. I had no knowledge of this when I was asking Mr. Herrera for the data supporting the need to paint on the sides of my driveway. So when I asked Mr. Herrera why the change from 18 inches to painting the whole sidewalk (not curved, no fire hydrant, is not a wheelchair access) Mr. Herrera replied that after having to discuss it more with other people they came to the conclusion that they would paint in front of my house. This means that because I questioned the misuse of resources and spoke up at the commission meeting they decided to retaliate. Not only did Mr. Herrera displayed a lack of professionalism, but he was also disrespectful and condescending. Mr. Herrera in front of Mr. Oberbauer said that I could park in red as long as the police did not see me. I found out later that he made the same comment to one other resident. The abuse of power by the engineers that seek to increase revenue from the struggling residents while ignoring the crucial need for safety on Nacion Avenue is an example of why staff seeks to have additional authority without having to come before the Traffic Safety Commission. I asked how to submit a complaint and I was informed that there is nothing for a resident to submit a complaint against a staff member unless it's against another resident. Reading the following paragraph that displays the purpose of the Traffic Safety Commission. Mr. Ed Flores said it very clearly. Granting absolute autonomy to the city engineer will defeat the purpose of the existence of the commission. Under additional information: On March 14, 1995, the City Council adopted a policy granting additional authority to the City Engineer on matters of public safety heard before the Traffic Safety Commission. The policy states that most of the decisions reached at these meetings are considered final. An appeal process was included in this new policy and staff may be contacted regarding the conditions of the appeal process.

Page 34 of 105 04/13/2023 SC 1 From:Eddie Flores Sent:10 March, 2023 12:07 PM To: Subject:RE: Safety Commission - Contact us -- Monterey Av Attachments:VEH_22500..pdf; CVMC 10.52.070 No parking areas.pdf; Monterey & Montcalm_031023.pdf Good afternoon Ms. Murillo, I have followed up and researched your concern regarding the painting of red curb in the vicinity of 1080 Monterey Av. First, I’d like to offer you an apology for any miscommunication that there may have been in regards to the painting (or not painting) of this curb. Second, I assure you that Mr. Herrera and the entire Traffic Engineering team consists of very professional and customer-centric staff. As you have noticed and you point out, the City does not always paint red curb at every location that is designated as a NO PARKING/NO STOPPING zone. There are State and local NO PARKING/NO STOPPING laws that may be enforced by police and/or parking enforcement without signs and/or markings being in place. In the case of the curb located between the properties at 1076 Monterey Av and 1080 Monterey Av, the request was to install red curb due to vehicles parking on a curb segment that is approximately 16 feet long (between two driveways). The standard length of on- street parking spaces (although generally not marked) is 22 feet per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). In certain cases, we may reduce that length and allow for some on-street parking spaces to be closer to approximately 19 feet (give or take a few inches). However, in this case, an on-street parking space that is only 16 feet is too short to accommodate most vehicles without resulting in the parked vehicle partially blocking one or both adjacent driveways. Based on our site visits and investigation, we determined that vehicles occasionally park on this segment of Monterey Av and partially block one or both of the driveways. As a result, the determination was made to paint the curb red along the curb segment between the two driveways in order to avoid the blockage of one or both driveways. Page 35 of 105 04/13/2023 SC 2 Although the initial focus of the investigation was on the length of the parking space and the blocking of driveways on Monterey Av, there are other State and local laws that prohibit parking in this area as well. Section 22500 of the California Vehicle Code (attached) prohibits parking within an intersection. Similarly, the City of Chula Vista has laws in its Municipal Code (attached) that prohibit parking within an intersection. The subject curb is located within an intersection as shown in the attached diagram and above. Therefore, parking in this area is prohibited and may be enforced even without the existence of a red zone. However, one of the reasons why this curb is recommended to be painted red is because our investigation determined that vehicles were occasionally parked on this curb segment between 1076 and 1080 Monterey Av and partially blocking one or both driveways. The new red curb should help remind motorists that it is illegal to park in this area. In regards to your concern about the recent Item presented at the Traffic Safety Commission on the repeal of the current Safety Commission Council Policy… This Item was continued by the Traffic Safety Commission, but the intent of the Item is to ensure that our Policies and Ordinances/Municipal Code are consistent with one another. Currently, and by law/Ordinance, the City Council has granted the City Engineer certain rights and responsibilities that are not fully reflected in the current (but older) Safety Commission Council Policy. We are trying to reconcile this and ensure that we are all, including the Commissioners, aware and obeying the current applicable law which is the Municipal Code in this case. I invite you to share any concerns you may have on the Item with our Traffic Safety Commission. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Crusaders have been thrown into the piranha pond with those ‘Free Loading Selfish Speeders!’ We sent an email with suggestions for reducing the speed from Milan to J Street to City Officials. Our major thrust will be to have two solar powered Radar Monitoring Devices like those installed near Eckman and Rienstra. (Castle Park HS area) Crusaders Miriam and Marianna have done empirical research observing those devices which have been cutting the speed. About 10 photos were taken emphasizing our search for a resolution. We had a meeting with Council Member Jose Preciado District #2 and his secretary Ms. Diana Quintero. 5 Crusaders attended. Our meeting lasted 2 hours. We are hoping for a resolution to Nacion‘s safety issues. We mentioned Jill Galvez’s assistance. Placating folks who live on Halecrest and Floyd has compounded a greater traffic conundrum for residents of the 700- 800 blocks of Nacion and surrounding streets. Thanks, Marianna Saponara and the Nacion Avenue Crusaders PS Crusaders will stand up for all pedestrian traffic going to 4- Hilltop Area Schools. Councilman Jose and Ms.Diana were told this. We will contact news media if our efforts to improve Nacion are disrespected and trashed!

As a result, they recommended that the Safety Commission be renamed to the Traffic Safety Commission and notified staff of the possible need to amend City Council Policy No. 110-09 “Safety Commission – Delegating Additional Authority” (“Policy”) due to differences with the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC). This item repeals the Policy as the CVMC takes precedence. RECOMMENDATION That the Traffic Safety Commission approve the resolution. DISCUSSION The existing Policy was approved in March of 1995, when Chula Vista’s population was just over 148,000 people. It required that all citizen traffic requests be brought to the Safety Commission for consideration. Over subsequent years, several sections of the CVMC, namely 10.04 “Vehicles and Traffic – General Provisions” and 10.12 “Vehicles and Traffic – Traffic Administration,” were amended to further clarify procedures for staff to follow when conducting traffic investigation for citizen requests. The primary difference between the Policy and CVMC is that the CVMC defines only certain traffic infrastructure modifications that require Traffic Safety Commission or City Council approval. As Chula Vista has grown to over 277,000 people (nearly 90% more than in 1995), staff has followed the CVMC procedures when investigating citizen requests to ensure that citizen requests are more effectively managed and addressed in a more timely manner in order to provide a safe and efficient transportation system in Chula Vista.
