MONTHLY UPDATES OF PROJECTS/PROGRAMS: a) Adaptive Traffic Control Signal System (ATCS) – AE/Malpica – The project has been completed and the system is currently running at the 48 intersections. Staff will continue to monitor and fine tune the system for the rest of the year. b) Pantera Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan – AE/Malpica – Staff launched an on-line petition process on June 19, 2020 for the residents to obtain a 67% (103 households) majority approval of the residents along the affected streets for implementation of the proposed traffic calming tools. On-line survey responses are due on July 8, 2020. c) Castle Rock NTMP between Cold Spring and Fountain Springs Road – AE/Malpica – The collection of traffic counts is on hold due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Counts collection will resume once everything returns back to normal on the streets. d) Traffic Delineators at Grand Avenue and Cleghorn Drive – ET/Delgado – Staff is preparing to deploy delineators along the dedicated right turn lane to prohibit westbound vehicles from making illegal maneuvers. A conceptual design has been prepared. 1.A.a Packet Pg. 7 Attachment: T&T Commission Meeting Minutes - July 9, 2020 (T&T Commission Meeting Minutes of July 9, 2020) JULY 9, 2020 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION C/Quan and the Commission recommended installation move forward while traffic is minimal. PWD/Liu responded that staff will work with the maintenance team to proceed with installation. e) Street Name Sign for Niagara Bottling Company (Niagara) – ET/Delgado – Niagara Bottling Company has recently moved into their new headquarters at 1440 Bridgegate Drive in Diamond Bar. Niagara is the sole-tenant of this property. The City owns and maintains the public street and the signalized intersection that services the private driveway to Niagara’s facility. Niagara’s development team has requested the personalization of the street name signs at the traffic signal to read “Niagara Way.” Staff has thoroughly reviewed this request a nd has determined that it will improve wayfinding on Bridgegate Drive for employees, visitors, couriers, and emergency services. Niagara will be responsible to pay for the labor and materials costs to order and install the new street name sign panels. Staff will recommend approval of this item at a future City Council meeting once Niagara Bottling Company is recognized as “New Business of the Month.” Staff will also retain the existing street name signs that read “1440 Bridgegate Drive,” should this property be vacated by Niagara Bottling Company in the future. f) Grand Avenue/Golden Springs Drive Intersection Improvements – AE/Aoun – As a prerequisite to the intersection improvements, the construction on hole number three at the golf course is scheduled for late September/early October 2020. g) Diamond Bar Boulevard Complete Streets Corridor – AE/Aoun – Staff submitted review comments for 90% of the PS&E to the consultant. Staff continues to pursue additional funding for the construction of the project. h) Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church/School Driveway Line-of-Sight Study – AE/Aoun – After the last Commission meeting in early March, staff contacted Mt. Calvary’s Principal, Dr. Steven Christopher, to meet at the school and discuss how to best implement the recommendations from the line of sight study that was prepared by the City’s traffic engineering consultant. Unfortunately, this coincided with the State and County’s Stay-At-Home orders due to COVID-19. Dr. Christopher suggested to wait until things improve before meeting in the field to move forward with the improvements. Staff is in communication with Dr. Christopher to meet at a future date. i) 2020 INFRA Grant Application for the SR-57/60 Confluence Relief Program – PWD/Liu - On Monday, February 24, 2020, the L.A. County 1.A.a Packet Pg. 8 Attachment: T&T Commission Meeting Minutes - July 9, 2020 (T&T Commission Meeting Minutes of July 9, 2020) JULY 9, 2020 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) submitted the grant application for the SR-57/60 Confluence Chokepoint Relief Program Project to the U.S. Department of Transportation seeking $50 million in funding from the FY 2020 Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) discretionary grant program. The City of Diamond Bar actively participated in the preparation of this application along with Caltrans, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), and the City of Industry. The Project has a total cost of $420,288,000. With 2020 INFRA funds, or an early investment of Federal funds, Metro will be able to begin construction in August, 2022 rather than July 2024. Most importantly, an INFRA award will unlock a matching State commitment of $222 million in SB 1 funds. Last week, announcements were made by USDOT regarding INFRA Grant Awards. Once again, our SR-57/60 Confluence Project was not awarded an INFRA Grant. Also, there were no projects awarded in California. The Administration confirmed awards to 20 projects in 20 states, using all or most of the $906 million that Congress made available. 8 of the selected projects were “urban” and 12 were “rural”. The DOT received 173 eligible applications from 47 states, requesting about $7 billion in funding. This outcome is truly disappointing. We will continue to work closely with Metro to maintain the Project’s momentum despite this temporary setback. j) Diamond Bar Golf Course Mitigated Negative Declaration – PWM/Ghafari – Metro prepared a short PowerPoint presentation for the SR-57/60 Confluence Project which also includes information relative to the Grand Avenue/Golden Springs Drive Project and the Diamond Bar Golf Course Renovation Project. They coordinated with Public Works staff and had public presentation at our July 7th Council Meeting. PWD/Ghafari also provided the Commission with a link to keep updated on the project: https://www.metro.net/projects/sr5760/. Additionally, Metro is also preparing an interactive map of showing the freeway improvements together with a fact sheet that will be available on the Metro website beginning in July. These materials are being prepared to coincide with the release of the Initial Study/Miti gated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Diamond Bar Golf Course Renovations at the beginning of a 30-day review period. SGVCOG is the lead agency for this CEQA document. The golf course renovation work is a mitigation for the upcoming freeway improvements. This renovation work will be publicly bid by the SGVCOG, and expected to begin in January 2021. 1.A.a Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: T&T Commission Meeting Minutes - July 9, 2020 (T&T Commission Meeting Minutes of July 9, 2020) JULY 9, 2020 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION k) Diamond Bar Boulevard Rehabilitation (Mountain Laurel Way to Pathfinder Road) – AE/Aoun – Plans are in design for a pavement rehabilitation project on Diamond Bar Boulevard beginning where last year’s project left off on Mountain Laurel Way and ending at Pathfinder Road. The Project will consist of a 2” - 6” pavement grind/overlay and upgraded or newly constructed ADA curb ramps where the existing ramps do not meet current ADA standards. The plans are expected to be completed in the next month with construction tentatively scheduled for September. C/Hsieh moved, C/Quan seconded, to receive and file the updates on Various Projects/Programs. Motion carried by the following Roll Call vote: AYES: COMMISSIONERS: Hsieh, Mehta, Quan, VC/Wong, Chair/Gonzalez NOES: COMMISSIONERS: None ABSENT: COMMISSIONERS: None IV. NEW BUSINESS: None V. STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS: None VI. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: C/Hsieh asked if a stop sign was mandatory at a three-way intersection and whether residents could request their removal. She also commented that street sweeping was inadequate in her neighborhood. PWD/Liu responded to C/Hsieh that effective July 1st, the City has a new street sweeping contractor and staff will monitor the services in C/Hsieh’s area. Stop signs are regulatory and require a formal traffic warrant study to justify installation. Ignoring a stop sign is not basis for its removal. C/Quan again requested trimming or removal of the bougainvillea in the median at Shotgun and Grand Avenue. PWD/Liu asked AE/Malpica to have staff monitor the landscape conditions. VC/Wong thanked staff for clearing the brush near the stop sign at Chandelle Place and Gold Rush. C/Mehta appreciated staff’s action. 1.A.a Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: T&T Commission Meeting Minutes - July 9, 2020 (T&T Commission Meeting Minutes of July 9, 2020) JULY 9, 2020 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION VII.

Adaptive Traffic Signal Control Signal System (ATCS) A minor increase in traffic volumes have been observed and the City’s ATCS has been able to adjust its cycle length to accommodate the increase. Staff will continue to monitor the system and make minor adjustments if needed. B. NTMP/Pantera Neighborhood – Neighborhood Traffic Management Program Staff launched an online petition process on June 19, 2020, for the residents a long the affected streets to obtain a 67% majority approval for implementation of the proposed traffic calming tools. Online survey responses were received on July 8, 2020, with only an 8% response rate. Due to the lack of neighborhood support and COVID -19, this neighborhood NTMP will be suspended. C. NTMP/Castle Rock Road Neighborhood – Neighborhood Traffic Management Program The collection of traffic counts is on hold due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Counts collection will resume once everything returns back to normal on the streets. CITY OF DIAMOND BAR ~ 21810 COPLEY DRIVE ~ DIAMOND BAR, CA 91765 ~ TEL. (909) 839-7040 ~ FAX (909) 861-3117 3.B Packet Pg. 17 D. NTMP/N. Del Sol Lane Neighborhood – Neighborhood Traffic Management Program On May 26th, the City received a report of speeding concern along N. Del Sol Lane between Sunset Crossing Road and Cougas Creek Road, and on Highland Valley Road between N. Del Sol Lane and Overlook Ridge Road – attached is a map of the neighborhood. The resident who reported the concern was interested in pursuing an NTMP. Notification letters with a link to an online survey were mailed out to 200 residents within the affected area on July 16th. The survey concluded on August 13th, with the City receiving 49 total responses: 47 were in favor of the NTMP, 1 was not in favor, and 1 was a blank response. Staff will move forward with the NTMP and continu e to work closely with the residents as traffic data is gathered. E. Traffic Delineators at Grand Avenue and Cleghorn Drive On July 9th, the City’s Traffic & Transportation Commission was briefed on the proposed installation of delineators on Grand Avenue at Cleghorn Drive. The City had previously received several complaints about vehicle traffic illegally using the dedicated right -turn lane at Cleghorn Drive as a through traffic lane. Commissioners had unanimously supported the implementation of these traffic control devices. On August 27th, staff installed the new traffic delineators at this location. Several residents that live along Cleghorn Drive visited City staff on -site and shared positive feedback. On September 2nd, staff removed the western-side delineators due to their obstruction to eastbound Grand Avenue traffic that would make a legal u -turn at Cleghorn Drive. The removal of this section of delineators does not impact the objective of visibly preventing illegal maneuvers from westbound Grand A venue traffic utilizing the right-turn lane at Cleghorn Drive as a through traffic lane. Staff will continue to monitor the delineator’s impact on traffic safety and thoroughly review all feedback provided to make necessary improvements. 3.B Packet Pg. 18 F. Grand Avenue/Golden Springs Drive Intersection Improvements As a prerequisite to the intersection improvements, the construction on hole number three at the Diamond Bar Golf Course is currently underway. Hole #3 green and tee’s are graded and the contractor’s crew is working on installing irrigation for the green. Relocation of the main irrigation line will be completed in a couple of weeks. G. Diamond Bar Boulevard Complete Streets Corridor The design phase of the project has been completed. Staff received the 100% Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) documents from the project consultant. Staff continues to pursue additional funding for the construction phase of the project. H. SB1 Trade Corridors Enhancement Program (TCEP) 2020 Grant Application for the SR-57/60 Confluence Relief Program On August 3, 2020, the L.A. County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), in partnership with Caltrans, submitted the grant application for the SR-57/60 Confluence Chokepoint Relief Program Project to the California Transportation Commission seeking $217.9 million in funding from the Senate Bill 1 (SB1) Trade Corridors Enhancement Program (TCEP). The City of Diamond Bar actively participated in the preparation of this application along with Caltrans, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG), and the City of Industry. The Project has a total cost of $420,288,000. With 2020 TCEP funding, Metro will be able to begin construction in August 2022, rather than July 2024. We believe this Project is a strong candidate for SB1 TCEP 2020 funding. We are scheduled to hear back on decisions by November 12th. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hope to hear good news. I. Diamond Bar Boulevard Rehabilitation (Mountain Laurel Way to Pathfinder Road) Plans and Specifications are in the final review stage for a pavement rehabilitation project on Diamond Bar Boulevard beginning where last year’s project left off on Mountain Laurel Way and ending at Pathfinder Road. The Project will consist of a 2”- 6” pavement grind and upgrades of newly constructed ADA curb ramps where the existing ramps do not meet current ADA standards. The plans and specifications are expected 3.B Packet Pg. 19 to be completed this month with construction tentatively scheduled for October. J. Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans for Traffic Detour During SR-57 Pavement Rehabilitation On August 24, 2020, Caltrans District 7 commenced a roadway resurfacing and restoration project along the State Route 57 (SR-57) freeway (the “Project”) for approximately 4.5 lane miles. The three-year project will cover both northbound and southbound lanes along SR-57 between the Orange County line towards Los Angeles County, where SR-57 merges with State Route 60 near Grand Avenue. Under California Streets and Highways Code Section 93, Caltrans is authorized to construct and maintain detours as may be necessary to facilitate the movement of traffic where state highways are closed or obstructed by construction or otherwise. The City of Diamond Bar roadways will be affected during the Project-related traffic detours. The Project estimates 16 extended weekend closure detours (over eight two-day weekends) for the duration of the Project, which will be scheduled to be implemented during the low traffic hours. City Staff and traffic consultants will be monitoring the traffic flow and adjusting the City traffic signals timing, as needed, to ensure a steady flow of traffic during the detours. The City and Caltrans negotiated a Traffic Detour Cooperative Agreement, approved by the City Council at its August 18, 2020 meeting, under which the City will be reimbursed for the traffic monitoring and signal adjustment, as well as additional Sheriff’s services, as applicable. Per the Agreement and upon completion of the Project, Caltrans, at its costs, will restore the City streets impacted by the detours to their original condition prior to the detours. To achieve that goal Caltrans, in coordination with the City Staff, will evaluate the condition of streets before and after the Project. K. Suspension of Street Sweeping Parking Enforcement At its September 1st regular meeting, the City Council approved the suspension of parking citations for street sweeping infractions in residential areas for the remainder of 2020. The suspension went into effect immediately and was implemented in support of residents who are continuing to follow state and local COVID -19 safety mandates and are working or schooling from home. During the suspension, street sweepers will continue to maintain their schedules and residents are asked to move their vehicles during their neighborhood’s designated day and time to allow for effective removal of excess debris. Street sweeping schedules may be located by visiting www.diamondbarca.gov/streetsweeping. Attachments: 1. Neighborhood Map - N.
