City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission 04/10/2025 TSC 3 of 42 TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT Item __ 5.1___ Meeting Date 04/10/25 ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISH SPEED LIMIT ON PALOMAR STREET BETWEEN BAY BOULEVARD AND WALNUT AVENUE/FRONTAGE ROAD, AND THAT SCHEDULE X OF THE REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THESE SPEED LIMITS SUBMITTED BY: City Traffic Engineer Staff completed Engineering and Traffic Surveys for a segment of Palomar Street in accordance with the California Vehicle Code, which indicates that the posting of speed limits be determined by an Engineering and Traffic Survey for each street with a posted speed limit within the City (with some exceptions). Based on the results of the speed survey, staff has determined that the speed limit on Palomar Street between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road is to be established to 30 mph. (see Attachment “A”, Location Plat). RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission concur with staff and recommend that the Chula Vista City Council establish the speed limit on Palomar Street between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road at 30 mph, and that Schedule X of the register maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect these speed limits 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) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH and an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is required to change the prima facie and/or update various speed limits in the City. The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five, seven, or fourteen years to determine if the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. Currently, there is no posted speed limit on Palomar Street between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road. 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. 04/10/2025 TSC 4 of 42 City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission 1 Page 2, Item 5.1__ Meeting Date 04/10/25 Physical Conditions The following information describes the existing conditions along Palomar Street (eastbound):  Classification between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road – Major Collector (Divided).  Length/Width – 1,320 feet (0.25 miles) long and 24’ to 26’ wide.  Average Daily Traffic: 2,177  Number of Lanes: Two lanes in eastbound direction  Existing Speed Limit – Not Posted.  85% Percentile Speed: 29 mph.  Striping – Two lanes of traffic and a yellow striped centerline.  Parking – No parking for this eastbound segment of Palomar Street.  Accident Rate History – The accident rate at this segment is 3.35 accidents per million vehicle miles, which is higher than the rate of 1.07 for similar roadways in the State of California (2021). 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 the collision rate outlined in the Engineering/Traffic Survey, staff has determined that the speed limit on Palomar Street between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road is to be established to 30 mph. Should the City Council establish the proposed 30 mph speed limit, Schedule X of the register maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit:  Palomar Street, beginning at Bay Boulevard and ending at Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road, proposed Speed Limit to be 30 mph. FISCAL IMPACT: The establishment of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit pavement legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering Capital Improvement Project, TRF-0332, Signing and Striping Program. Attachments: 1. Location Plat 2.

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 fourteen (14) 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, denial of this resolution perpetuates the expired status of the E&TS for Palomar Street such that the Police Department will be unable to enforce the posted speed limit using RADAR/LIDAR technology; and 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 Palomar Street between Bay Boulevard and Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road be 30 mph; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Traffic Safety Commission of the City of Chula Vista does hereby recommend that the City Council, establish the proposed 30 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 as follows: 04/10/2025 TSC 19 of 42 City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission Resolution No. TSC 2025-_______ Page 2  Palomar Street, beginning at Bay Boulevard and ending at Walnut Avenue/Frontage Road, proposed speed limit at 30 mph. PASSED AND APPROVED by the Traffic Safety Commission of the City of Chula Vista, California, the 10th day of April 2025, by the following vote: AYES: Commissioners: NAYS: Commissioners: ABSENT: Commissioners: ____________________________________ Pedro Orso-Delgado, Chair ATTEST: ______________________________________ Florence Picardal, Secretary 04/10/2025 TSC 20 of 42 City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDA STATEMENT Item __ 5.2____ Meeting Date 04/10/25 ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISH THE SPEED LIMIT ON BOB PLETCHER WAY BETWEEN MILLENIA AVENUE TO WOLF CANYON LOOP AT 25 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: City Traffic Engineer Staff completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey for a segment of Bob Pletcher Way in accordance with the California Vehicle Code, which indicates that the posting of speed limits be determined by an Engineering and Traffic Survey for each street with a posted speed limit within the City (with some exceptions). RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission concur with staff and recommend that the Chula Vista City Council establish a 25 MPH speed limit along Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue and Wolf Canyon Loop, and that Schedule X of the register maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect these speed limits 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) and the maximum speed limit is 65 MPH and an engineering and traffic survey (E&TS) is required to change the prima facie and/or update various speed limits in the City. The CVC requires that local agencies review changes in local speed limits every five, seven, or fourteen years to determine if the existing street segment speed limits require updating due to the age of the engineering and traffic survey or due to changes in roadway and traffic conditions. Currently, there is no posted speed limit along Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue and Wolf Canyon Loop. 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) Traffic/roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. Physical Conditions The following information describes the existing conditions along of Bob Pletcher Way: 04/10/2025 TSC 21 of 42 City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission Page 2, Item _5.2__ Meeting Date 09/12/24  Classification Between Millenia Avenue and Wolf Canyon Loop – Local.  Length/Width – 1,531 feet (0.29 miles) long and 34’ to 36’ wide.  Average Daily Traffic: 2,935  Number of Lanes: One travel lane (1 per direction).  Existing Speed Limit – None.  85% Percentile Speed: 30 mph.  Striping – Two lanes of traffic.  Parking – Parking is allowed along both sides of this segment west of SR-125.  Horizontal Alignment – Horizontal Curve just west of Millenia Avenue.  Accident Rate History – The accident rate at this segment is 0.0 accidents per million vehicle miles. 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, staff has determined that a 25 MPH speed limit along Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue and Wolf Canyon Loop is recommended. Should the City Council establish the proposed 25 mph speed limit, Schedule X of the register maintained in the Office of the City Engineer be amended to reflect the speed limit decrease:  Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue to Wolf Canyon Loop, proposed speed limit at 25 mph. FISCAL IMPACT: The establishment of the speed limit would require the posting of new speed limit signs and speed limit pavement legends. This work will be funded by an existing Traffic Engineering Capital Improvement Project, TRF-0332, Signing and Striping Program. Attachments: 1. Location Plat 2.

TSC-2025-_______ RESOLUTION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA RECOMMENDING THAT THE CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISH THE SPEED LIMIT ON BOB PLETCHER WAY BETWEEN MILLENIA AVENUE TO WOLF CANYON LOOP AT 25 MPH, AND THAT SCHEDULE X OF THE REGISTER MAINTAINED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THE ESTABLISHED SPEED LIMIT WHEREAS, staff completed an Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) on a segment of Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue to Wolf Canyon Loop 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) Collision records; and 3) Traffic/roadside conditions not apparent to the driver; and WHEREAS, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA 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 fourteen (14) 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, denial of this resolution limits the Police Department such that it will be unable to enforce the posted speed limit using RADAR/LIDAR technology; and WHEREAS, based on the 85th percentile speed of the roadway referenced in the E&TS, staff has determined that speed limit on Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue to Wolf Canyon Loop be 25 mph; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Traffic Safety Commission of the City of Chula Vista does hereby recommend that the City Council, establish the proposed 25 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 as follows: 04/10/2025 TSC 30 of 42 City of Chula Vista Traffic Safety Commission Resolution No. TSC 2025-_______ Page 2  Bob Pletcher Way between Millenia Avenue to Wolf Canyon Loop, proposed speed limit at 25 mph.
