STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS — PWD/Liu stated that at the last Traffic and Transportation Commission meeting, C/Pechy asked staff to provide information regarding changes to the Diamond Ride Program along with statistics/costs associated with the program. The changes became effective on December 1, 2014 and prior to the changes becoming effective, staff established a budget amount of $575,000 for the current Fiscal Year. Based on usage of the program, the costs prior to December 1, 2014 amounted to $50,000-$60,000 per month, indicating that the $575,000 budgeted amount would not be sufficient to cover the program. After two months under the modified program, the cost for December 2014 was $26,756 and for January 2015 the cost was $23,950.75, a significant monthly reduction of about 50 percent. The average monthly passenger count for July 2014 through November 2014 varied from 2800 to 3300. The passenger count for December 2014 was 1502, and for January 2015 it was 1830. In November 2014 there were a total of 1149 trips inside of the City with almost 1700 trips outside of the City. For the month of December 2014 there were 847 trips inside of the City and 655 outside of the City. For the month of January 2015, 1253 were inside of the City and 577 were outside of the City. The purpose of the program modification was to make certain that the Diamond Ride Program was not a primary mode of transportation and that non- medical trips are primarily confined to Diamond Bar to encourage shopping in Diamond Bar. The average cost of trips during this fiscal year through November 2014 averaged about $21 per trip. For the month of December 2014 the average cost per trip was reduced to $16.20 and for January 2015 the average per trip cost FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION was reduced to $14.52. The trend indicates a maximization of the City's resources and provides a more effective and efficient program for those who need it. PWD/Liu provided an overview of the General Plan update report for January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 that was presented to the City Council on February 3rd. State law requires each city to prepare and adopt a comprehensive long-term General Plan to guide its physical development. This is a policy document comprised of Goals, Objective and Strategies for implementation. He showed examples of how the report 'speaks to implementation progress and how the City is meeting its Regional Housing needs for the community in each of the following categories including land use, housing, resource management, public health and safety, circulation and public service and facilities. C/Carrera asked about the origin of the TIGER Grant and PWD/Liu responded that it is a federal grant. C/Carrera asked if the City applied for that grant and PWD/Liu responded that it did so in conjunction with the City of Industry. C/Carrera asked if the developer of the tire store next to the carwash backed out of the project. SCENoung responded that the issue is that there are contaminated soils and as a result, America's Tire Company is leasing the property from the property owner and the property owner is in negotiations with the past retail gas station supplier to determine how they will clean up the site. The project is still scheduled to move forward and is on hold until the contaminated soil issue is resolved. Chair/Mok asked if that was also true of the Diamond Jim/condominium project. SCENoung responded that Chair/Mok was correct. C/Mehta asked why projects are finished at one site and opened up a year or two later at the same site causing a great deal of inconvenience to the public. PWD/Liu asked if C/Mehta was asking about the phasing approach for the SR -57/60 Confluence Project and responded that it has to do with funding. The SR -57/60 Confluence Project primarily addresses weaving issues and in order to solve these issues that covers two miles and ultimately 14 lanes of traffic, it is a major project that has been under development for many years and estimates for the total project total almost $260 million. To date, the City of Diamond Bar along with the City of Industry have been able to secure only about $56 million; therefore, there is a shortfall of $200 million. By phasing the project, the project will be built in a sequence that best utilizes available funds. Also, the project phasing follows a logical sequence that will facilitate construction activities in subsequent phases. The project has been identified in the L.A. County's Long -Range Transportation Plan; however, funding for that project does not come into the picture until 2029. This project is both a regional and national issue because the project has now been included at the federal level as a Project of National and Regional Significance. This means if federal funding opportunities become available in the future, this project will now qualify. FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION C/Mehta asked if staff could provide a rendering of the proposed confluence project and PWD/Liu said he would do so at the next meeting. C/Pechy stated that under Objective 1.3 (Preserving Integrity of Neighborhoods and Discouraging Through -Traffic) he said he could not help but notice, especially at Golden Springs Drive eastbound turning lane onto Diamond Bar Boulevard northbound, that the turn signal stays on for as long as needed to accommodate all of the queued vehicles. The turn signal for traffic turning onto Grand Avenue from Diamond Bar Boulevard remains on for an extremely long period of time for southbound traffic; however, for traffic traveling northbound and turning from Diamond Bar Boulevard onto Grand Avenue, the turn signal stays on for a very short period of time. Also, the turn signal for traffic turning off of Golden Springs Drive onto Grand Avenue heading toward Walnut remains on for an extremely long period of time. It is human nature to take the path of least resistance. One of the first things people do when going from one place to another is to find the quickest route and it seems to him that the City is encouraging people to get off of the freeways and to take Brea Canyon Road and up Golden Springs Drive, cut across Golden Springs Drive to Diamond Bar Boulevard. Drivers know that at the other end, even if they are #13 or #14 in line, that light will wait for them and he believes it is causing an increase in congestion. PWD/Liu responded that staff does its utmost to make sure that the signal timing plans for major intersections address the needs of all motorists including those of the residents. It is a balancing act because Diamond Bar has only a few arterials and at the same time, whatever the City does can impact its own residents as well. Residents living in neighborhoods that come up to the boulevards or major streets use the same intersections as non-residents/cut through traffic use. The main problem lies in the freeway deficiencies and until the SR -57/60 is fixed, Diamond Bar streets will be used to the advantage of all drivers including cut -through traffic. If the timing of those particular traffic signal lights was shortened, the real losers could be the residents who would be waiting and waiting to proceed through their own city. The City spends millions of dollars to improve and maintain its intersections and roadways for the benefit of its residents. AE/Malpica explained that there are three different signal timing plans: morning, midday and afternoon. The difference between those three plans is their cycle length. As an example, during the morning hours the complete cycle is 144 seconds and in an intersection with 8 phases. C/Pechy said it was not a matter of how long one has to wait but a matter of encouraging or discouraging traffic. The way it works now, it encourages people to take these routes to cut through Diamond Bar because they know the light will wait for them and that they can save time by cutting through Diamond Bar, which is what the City is trying to discourage. C/Pechy added that businesses are being hurt because of the traffic backup and the inability for people to access those businesses and get back out onto the streets. PWD/Liu responded that staff has taken every opportunity to re -locate or modify some of the commercial driveways and encourage shopping centers to provide better ingress and egress. The current signal synchronization may not be a perfect solution; however, at this time it is a balancing act between providing a solution for businesses FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION and residents, while doing everything possible to alleviate cut through traffic. It is clear that the sooner the SR -57/60 freeway improvements can be done, the better for the City of Diamond Bar. C/Carrera stated he did not believe it was possible to discourage anyone from cutting through Diamond Bar at this time. Northbound SR -57 traffic from 2:30 p.m. is brutal. For example, this afternoon the traffic was backed up to Lambert Road; therefore, motorists exited onto Brea Canyon Road in mid-afternoon. By rush hour, there was a long line coming through Brea Canyon Road to cut through the City. As PWD/Liu said earlier, until the matter of the SR -57/60 Confluence is resolved, Diamond Bar will continue to have this problem regardless of a 5 or 10 second traffic signal time modification. AE/Malpica explained that these concerns are the primary reason staff activates traffic signal timing at least 30 minutes prior to rush hour, so that instead of having cars wait through three or four traffic signals, it can be cut down to two during peak traffic hour. C/Sulakhe said that waiting 144 seconds is almost 2.5 minutes which is a long time during the rush hour. In her opinion, if the signal were given more time, it would be convenient only for people coming off of the freeway. AE/Malpica responded that as previously mentioned, there are three signalization plans including midday, which allows 110 or 120 seconds. Bear in mind that some intersections are 8 -phase intersections; therefore, in order to move traffic through those intersections, there has to be a long -cycle length. Either staff moves traffic in small platoons and have long backup lines or move a larger number of vehicles at one time, which is how the cycle kicks in according to the traffic. C/Sulakhe said her concern is more about people getting on and off the freeway. VII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: A. Wayward Trucks in Washington Street Neighborhoods — AE/Malpica stated that this matter came as a complaint from residents of the condominium complex on the cul-de-sac at the end of Washington Street. They complained about trucks going all the way to the end of the cul-de-sac and not being able to make it across to the City of Industry's industrial park, therefore finding it difficult to make a u -turn to get out of the cul-de-sac. In response, staff installed restriction signage at the Washington Street and Brea Canyon Road intersection to let truck drivers know that trucks over 5 tons were not allowed to use Washington Street. However, some drivers have ignored the signs and have continued to use Washington Street. As a result, staff is looking into constructing a cul-de-sac at Washington Street and Lincoln Avenue. Staff will retain a traffic consultant to design the project to discourage truck drivers from using Washington Street. A semi cul-de-sac narrows the street to allow for two passing passenger vehicles and trucks will not be able to traverse the area. FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 6 T&T COMMISSION The project will be similar to what was constructed on Sunset Crossing Road (by the YMCA/Diamond Bar -Walnut Family Center) just prior to the end of the cul-de-sac past Prospectors Road. Once the consultant has provided a project design, staff will bring the matter back to the Commission for an update. Chair/Mok asked what would happen if the project was completed and a truck were to inadvertently enter the area. He asked if it would result in a worse conclusion than what is now in place. SCE/Young responded that the idea is that when a truck approaches the narrow cul-de-sac area, rather than attempting to get through the cul-de-sac area, the driver will turn right onto Lincoln Avenue and right onto Lycoming Street back to Brea Canyon Road. This will enable the truck to leave the area without having to complete any backup movements and/or u -turns. C/Carrera asked if the problem included UPS and FedEx trucks. AE/Malpica responded that he believes the problem is that some vehicles are using outdated GPS systems. SCE/Young stated that staff was told by the condominium complex that the biggest problem is with semi -trucks. Chair/Mok asked if there would be additional signage. He recommended additional signage along Washington Street once the project design is brought forward. B. Comprehensive Groundwater Drainage Study —AE/Malpica stated that staff received the draft study in January and it is currently under review. C. Traffic Signal Battery Backup Project —AE/Malpica reported that the project and punch list have been completed and staff is taking the Notice of Completion to the City Council on Tuesday, February 17th for consideration. As part of this project, 14 additional battery backup systems were installed for a total of 33 units citywide. The purpose of these units is to provide signalization to maintain normal operation and red flashing for the intersections during power outages for several hours. D. Edison Upgrades at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Grand Avenue — AE/Malpica shared that this project consists of Southern California Edison making improvements to existing circuits that serve residential and commercial customers in the vicinity of Grand Avenue, Diamond Bar Boulevard and Quail Summit Drive, including all shopping centers. These improvements will be completed in two phases. Phase I includes trenching for new conduit that runs from the northwest corner of the intersection, through the intersection and south along Diamond Bar Boulevard, which has been completed to Montefino Drive and is scheduled to continue on to Quail Summit Avenue. Phase I is scheduled for completion prior to March 2nd. Phase 11 includes replacing a deteriorated underground vault box at the, southwest corner of the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard in front of the US Bank. On February 8th, Edison erected barriers and began preparing the site by removing the underground concrete and existing older vault which will be FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 7 T&T COMMISSION replaced with a larger vault. This will provide more efficient energy to businesses and residential areas within the vicinity. This portion is scheduled to be completed prior to March 2nd. The trenching work is being done primarily at night to create as little traffic flow interference as possible. E. Morning Canyon Rehabilitation Project — AE/Mosley stated that the scope of work is to rehabilitate Morning Canyon Road from Diamond Bar Boulevard to Stone Pine Drive, including replacement of concrete items and reconstruction of a catch basin as well as, the removal of 16 pine trees along the project limit. Existing trees will be replaced with a species which is friendlier to the e infrastructure. After review of bids, staffs recommendation is to move forward awarding the project to All American Asphalt. Last night, staff conducted a community outreach meeting to inform the public of the project's specifics beginning with a recommendation for City Council approval on March V. C/Carrera commented that the tree roots are huge. PWD/Liu shared about 16 residents attended the neighborhood meeting, with 140 notices sent out. He went on to explain that the majority of residents who attended the outreach meeting wanted to 'save the trees. However, as previously stated, the arborist has indicated that further attempts to retain those trees would present a potential liability to the City. Staff feels very strongly that this project needs to be completed and the trees need to be removed. The attendees feel very strongly about saving as many trees as possible; however, as explained to them, these tree roots will continue to create a hazardous condition. AE/Mosley indicated that regardless of whether this project moved forward, some of the trees are in a bad state. C/Mehta asked staff for a copy of the Arborist's report. AE/Mosley stated that staff will be meeting with another Arborist to obtain a second opinion, as requested by the residents. C/Mehta then asked if the public would be involved with the second report. AE/Mosley responded that the second opinion is being sought as a direct request of the public and the information will be disclosed to the public once received. Chair/Mok asked if it would be helpful if the second Arborist was present at the second outreach meeting so that the residents would receive the information directly from the expert. PWD/Liu stated that, in terms of the follow up meeting, the residents will have the opportunity to attend the City Council meeting on March 3rd. F. Gas Company Upgrades at Golden Springs Drive and Grand Avenue — AE/Mosley reported that the scope of work for this project is to upgrade an existing 3" main, found just south of Lavender Drive, to a 4" main along Golden Springs Drive to the intersection of Grand Avenue. This is being done for the purpose of accommodating increasing demand for AQMD's natural gas operations. The project will move forward in three phases with Phases 1 and 2 having intermittent lane closures. Working hours for Phases 1 and 2 have FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 8 T&T COMMISSION been restricted to accommodate motorists from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Phase 3 connects at the intersection of Golden Springs Drive and Grand Avenue. Staff has requested that this work be done at night. Staff is currently coordinating post construction restoration with the gas company and once restoration is agreed upon, construction will commence with an approximate duration of four to six weeks. G. Grand Avenue Beautification Project- SCENoung stated that as reported at the last meeting, there was a pre-bid meeting on January 7th. Subsequently, on January 14th, eight (8) bids were received with the lowest bid submitted by Unique Performance Construction at a bid of $1,749,425.80; however, because the project is federally funded, there is an 18.4 percent DBE (Disadvantage Business Enterprise) requirement for the contractors to attempt to commit to. Review of Unique Performances bid indicated that they were unable to make a sufficient good -faith effort to meet the 18.4 percent DBE requirement. Unique committed to .34 percent out of the 18.4 percent required and the supporting documentation of their good -faith efforts to obtain DBE participation was deemed insufficient by the City's Federal Compliance Consultant. In order to not lose the federal funds, which amount to more than $1 million, the City submitted the review of the DBE Good Faith Efforts of the low bidder to Caltrans who administers the federal funds. Caltrans concurred that the low bidder, Unique Performance, was insufficient, and the City was entitled to recommend rejection of Unique's bid; therefore, allowing to award the contract to the second low bidder, All American Asphalt. Their bid was submitted in the amount of $1,939,000. Also, All American Asphalt committed to 11.4 percent DBE. The engineer's estimate was $1.575 million; therefore, All American's bid is $400,000 over the engineer's estimate. As a result, staff will be requesting appropriations from City Council from various funding sources that include savings from the Area 2 Residential-Collector/Zone 1 Slurry Seal Project, savings from the Prop C funds as a result of the reduced expenditures in the Diamond Ride Program, gas tax funds that have not been appropriated elsewhere, and additional funding appropriation requests from Traffic Mitigation funds. This contract will go to Council for consideration on February 17th. As of today, Unique Performance has indicated they plan to protest staffs recommendation to reject their bid and award to All American Asphalt. Staff has submitted their protest submission to the City Attorney who has reviewed the submission and indicates that the City is within the authority of the federal Code of Regulations to reject their bid. If Council chooses to award as indicated to All American Asphalt, staff anticipates construction will begin in March, with full completion by early summer. H. Lemon Avenue Interchange Project — SCENoung explained that staff was hoping to have a submittal to the Office of the Engineer last month; however, at the Project Development Team meeting last month, the OE was present and gave the designer a checklist of items that needed to be met prior to submitting to the OE. Therefore, the designer is working on that checklist of items and anticipates submitting to the OE by the end of February. Also, staff anticipated getting the Right -of -Way certification in February, which now FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 9 T&T COMMISSION appears to be anticipated for March. The project is still on schedule to begin construction this summer, with completion 18 months thereafter. I. Willow Heights Construction Update — SCE/Young reported that there are a lot of activities on and around the project site. Houses are going up very quickly. To date, two phases of each product have been released for building permits and the builder anticipates getting the third phase of each product building permits released in March. Staff anticipated a model grand opening in March, which has been pushed back to April 18th. Most, if not all, of the frontage improvements will be completed, including the landscaping along Diamond Bar Boulevard and intersection traffic signal improvements at Cherrydale Drive and Diamond Bar Boulevard. VC/Carrera asked if the street lights would be installed prior to the grand opening. SCE/Young responded that street lights are installed through a separate Los Angeles County and SCE process and she is not aware whether they will be completed by model opening in April. Plans have been approved by the City and it is now a matter of the developer moving the process through the County and SCE for final approval and installation. J. Area 2 CDBG Sidewalk Replacement Project — AE/Beshay indicated that the contractor commenced work on January 26th. The first week, the contractor removed the sidewalks, curb and gutter, and ramps. The following week, the City's Arborists evaluated up to 80 trees to determine root pruning or complete removal and accordingly, 13 trees were removed. The contractor will pour the remaining sidewalks next week and the week following. C/Pechy asked if this project was based on tree damage. AE/Beshay responded that the project was initiated to mitigate tree damage and install handicapped ramps. K. Reagan/Peterson Park Parking Lot Construction — AE/Beshay referred the Commissioners to the plans. He stated that the first plan shows an aerial view of the existing Peterson Park and the second sheet is the proposed concept design which consists of widening the parking lot to add 34 parking stalls; removal of existing curb and sidewalk and installation of new curb and sidewalk; complete rehabilitation of the parking lot, improved drainage for the park parking lot; addition of one handicapped parking stall; and upgrade of the existing curb to ADA compliance. Sheet 3 shows the bio -filtration area and how extension of the parking lot triggered the need for a low impact development as part of the storm water permit required by the State Water Board, which indicates that the City needs to prepare a bio -filtration system currently in design. The system will be located southwest of the parking lot. C/Sulakhe asked if the bio -filtration system would be located in the parking lot. AE/Beshay's responded "no", the bio -filtration system will be in the green area, which is outside of the parking lot. FEBRUARY 12, 2015 PAGE 10 T&T COMMISSION AE/Beshay continued that the second attachment is for the Reagan Park parking lot. The first attachment is an aerial view of the park, as it exists. The second sheet is the concept design which consists of removal of the turn- around area; installation of 12 parking stalls; removal of existing curb and gutter and median; installation of new curb; removal and replacement of damaged sidewalk; upgrading existing curb ramps to new ADA compliance; and upgrading existing driveway approaches to meet ADA compliance.
