OLD BUSINESS:
A. Sunset Crossing and Prospectors Road Traffic Calming Project Update
SE/Yee gave a PowerPoint presentation and recommended that the Traffic
and Transportation Commission receive and file the traffic data update on the
Sunset Crossing Prospectors Road Traffic Calming Project.
VC/Pincher asked if staff received concerns from the residents about seeing
extra traffic. SENee responded that most of the residents' concerns were
received during construction and shortly thereafter. Staff received concerns
about the areas along Prospectors Road and Sunset Crossing Road with
respect to what was happening and how far the devices were cutting out into
the street. Staff has heard nothing regarding concerns on the side streets. In
fact, staff heard very positive comments shortly after the devices were
installed.
VC/Pincher said that Sunset Crossing now appears as a very nice gateway
into the neighborhood and does not appear to attract cut -through traffic.
C/Carrera said he understood emergency responder complaints about the
cushions but asked what the residents' complaints were. SE/Yee responded
that some concerns were a carryover from the residents not being able to
accept the changes. Some residents were very critical about where curb
extensions were located and how far out they extended out into the street.
PWD/Liu gave a brief history of the project in response to C/Carrera's
MARCH 11, 2010 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION
concerns about residents' complaints and concerns. C/Carrera said that the
project speaks volumes about what the City did to benefit the neighborhood
and he felt residents would benefit from this work.
C/Lin asked during what hours the traffic volumes were recorded and SENee
responded that they were 24-hour volumes. C/Lin commented that the
numbers seemed low for a 24-hour period. C/Lin asked what the size was of
the sample survey and SENee responded that he would have to consult the
data sheet to determine the number of vehicles. However, the traffic data
consultant the City used specializes in this type of data and the standard
practice is appropriate in terms of sample sizes.
VI. NEW BUSINESS: None
VII. STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS: None
VIII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: C/Carrera stated that he was honored and
pleased to join the Commission. He introduced himself and presented his resume
credentials.
IX. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
A. Diamond Bar TMS/Traffic Signal Interconnect Links — Phase II—AE/Malpica-
Perez gave a brief description of the system and talked about how it will
function. C/Lin asked for a tour of the system. SENee said that staff plans to
showcase this system to the Traffic and Transportation Commission and the
City Council in the near future once the system is totally functional.
Chair/House asked if the system was portable and, in the event that the City
Hall moves to a new location, how much time, work and money will be required
to move the equipment. PWD/Liu responded that the system can be
extended/expanded and that it is a part of the cost benefit that staff is
considering. More than $2 million has been spent on this interconnect project
to date. If the City purchases the building across the street to relocate City
Hall, it will cost about $120,000 to extend the system from the current location
to the new location. Staff is holding off on some of the display items and other
items until a decision is made about the move.
B. Traffic Signal Battery Backup System Project — AE/Malpica-Perez reported
that a pre -construction meeting was held on Tuesday, February 9 with the
contractor, Freeway Electric, Inc. This project will provide back-up power
service to continue operating the signals in the event of a power outage. The
battery backup system will be installed at several intersections along Golden
Springs Drive, Diamond Bar Blvd., and Brea Canyon Road. Construction is
expected to start by mid-April and be completed by early May.
C. Industry's Grand Avenue Bridge Widening/Interchange Project — SENee
stated that this project consists of two phases. The first phase is the
MARCH 11, 2010 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION
( westbound SR -60 on-ramp which is quickly moving forward with the
environmental document due to be distributed by spring 2010 and construction
to commence in late 2011. Phase two is a by-pass ramp that would go from
the eastbound SR -60 directly onto the Grand Avenue off -ramp to provide
better access to Grand Avenue and to prevent traffic from weaving.
D. SR57/60 Feasibility Study — SENee stated that Metro (Metropolitan
Transportation Authority) is awaiting comments from Caltrans in order to
finalize the document.
E. Lemon Avenue On/Off Ramps Project — AE/Molina reported this project has
completed the 65 percent design which was submitted to Caltrans last summer
and was put on hold when the phasing of the project was under discussion.
The 65 percent review by Caltrans resumed and the project development team
will be reviewing Caltrans comments with Caltrans on Thursday, March 18th.
Once comments are received, the design consultant will amend the plans and
submit the 95 percent submittal to Caltrans in May or June 2010.
F. Residential/Area 6 Slurry Seal Project — AE/Molina stated that this
maintenance project is in design with completion expected by early April. Staff
will go out to bids by early May and award the construction contract by the end
of June 2010.
G. Arterial/ Zone 3/Zone 4 Slurry Seal Project (American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act) —AE/Molina reported the project will be completed in March
or April.
H. Chino Hills Parkway Street Rehabilitation Project — AE/Molina reported that
this project has been designed and the City is awaiting word about a second
authorization of federal stimulus funds which is being referred to as ARRA II
Funds.
Cleghorn/Gold Nugget and Maple Hill NTMP — AE/Molina shared that this
project has gone out to bid (speed cushions on Cleghorn and Gold Nugget).
Bids were opened today and staff received four bids. The lowest bid was
$14,962 and the engineer's estimate was $21,000. Staff anticipates taking a
contract to Council for award on April 6th with construction to commence
shortly thereafter. Staff met with the Maple Hill residents on February 4th to
present the concept which consisted of centerline striping and parking lane
line striping. The next step is for the residents to obtain the necessary 67
percent in -favor petition signed for the project to move forward as Phase II.
Phase I of this project is to install speed warning signs and send out
informational flyers to remind residents that this is a neighborhood roadway
and to respect the 25 mph speed limit. The flyers will also notify the residents
that striping may be coming forward.
C/Carrera asked where the striping was expected to be done. AE/Molina
responded to C/Carrera that the striping is targeted to be done between
MARCH 11. 2010 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION
Mountain Laurel Way and Diamond Bar Boulevard. However, residents who
attended the meeting requested that the informational flyer be sent out to all
residents on Maple Hill. As a result, the flyer will be sent out to the entire
neighborhood.
VIII. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As stated in the agenda, with the
addition of the April 8th Traffic and Transportation Commission regular meeting —7:00
