AE/Molina provided background information on the NTMP program and how staff responded to residents' concerns and presented staff's report. She recommended that the Traffic and Transportation Commission receive and file the update on the Cleghorn Drive/Gold Nugget Avenue Neighborhood Traffic Management Project. C/House was impressed that the tools work so well and thanked staff for their work. VC/Carrera asked where the stop sign was installed. AE/Molina used the overhead to show that there was one stop for traffic along Gold Nugget at Cleghorn Drive and a second stop bar on Cleghorn Drive at Clear Creek Canyon. VC/Carrera asked if staff ever recorded the data during different periods of the day. AE/Molina responded that staff receives and tallies the ( data by hour. For the purposes of this report, staff provided the Commissioners with the overall 85% speed for each day. The breakdown of the data shows volumes that are high in the morning and evening during peak hours. APRIL 14, 2011 PAGE 3 V. NEW BUSINESS: None VI. STATUS OF PREVIOUS ACTION ITEMS: None VII. ITEMS FROM COMMISSIONERS: T&T COMMISSION C/House asked if the City Council received the NTMP updates. PWD/Liu responded that the City Council does not receive as much detail as the Commission; however, staff provides weekly updates to the Council on a number of projects and programs. C/House felt there was a lot of very good information the Council should have. AE/Molina indicated that the Council is given the table but not the presentation. PWD/Liu said that over the years, Council Members have participated in the NTMP neighborhood meetings. VC/Carrera stated that there are so many traffic concerns the City has no control over such as the surrounding traffic but there are things that the City can do and these programs are excellent and successful. He is concerned that when a neighborhood cannot get the 67 percent required signatures, he wonders if the folks that do not sign in favor participate in the neighborhood meetings and understand how successful they are. VC/Carrera asked that tonight's meeting be adjourned in memory of Helen Doss, retired teacher and educational advocate. C/Mok echoed his colleague's sentiments about staff's good work and presentation. He attended the State of the City event last week and was very impressed by staff's video production which spoke volumes to the City's efforts to keep the residents informed about what is going on in the City. Kudos to AE/Molina, SE/Yee and AE/Ching. C/Mahlke said she appreciated the warm welcome and the transitional assistance from staff. Part of the reason she was enthusiastic about coming on board with the Commission was her understanding of the NTMP program, because the idea of creating communication and cooperation within the community speaks volumes about who we are in D.B. and why everyone wants to live here and make it an even better community. VIII. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: A. Traffic Signal Battery Backup System Project — AE/Malpica-Perez explained how the system works and the reason for the backup system. He reported that there are eight signalized intersections equipped with this system and an additional 11 signalized intersections are to be installed. Staff expects the final plans by mid-May. APRIL 14, 2011 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION B. Brea Canyon Cut -Off @ SB SR57 Off -Ramp — Traffic Signal Project — AE/Malpica-Perez stated that this is a new traffic signal and Caltrans has issued the encroachment permit for construction. Edison is currently designing the electrical extension line to feed the new traffic signal. Staff expects final design by mid-May with construction to commence by the end of May. Chair/Pincher asked if Caltrans would own the signal and the City would pay for it. PWD/Liu responded that she was correct and the funding sources are the fees accumulated through the traffic impact fees from past development projects. For many years, the City has attempted to get Caltrans to pay for it and due to the lack of response, the City determined to pay for it and transfer ownership to Caltrans. C. Street Sweeping Services — PWD/Liu stated that the current service provider has been in the City for about 10 years. Last month, staff went out with a new RFP (Request for Proposal) and received a total of six responses, all of which were very competitive. The lowest bidder is also the current provider and the fee they propose for D.B. is even lower than the current fee. D. Multi -Year CIP — Comprehensive Infrastructure Management Plan — SE/Yee reported that there is an effort underway to do a multi-year infrastructure management plan for sewer and storm drain systems, the goal of which is to establish an inventory and conditions assessment of the infrastructure to use in developing a multi-year program to maintain systems. E. Industry's Grand Avenue Bridge Widening/Interchange Project— SE/Yee stated that the project moves forward as part of the 57/60 confluence project. F. SR57/60 Interchange "Big Fix" — PWD/Liu explained that this interchange project is included in the overall L.A. County long range transportation plans. However, the timeline is in the 2020's and beyond. Currently, staff is working to build and gain regional and national support for the overall project. Last month, staff and Council Members were in Washington D.C. to make certain that this project remains at the forefront of the planning process due to the ongoing regional traffic concerns. Chair/Pincher asked PWD/Liu to compare today's cost to 2020 costs for the "Big Fix" and PWD/Liu responded that the difference would be substantially more. If this is postponed to the programmed year 2029, the cost to include Grand Avenue could skyrocket to $1 billion; therefore, it makes sense to obtain the money at today's costs. VC/Carrera asked if the County and Caltrans were consistent and PWD/Liu responded yes, they work very closely with Metro, Caltrans and LA County. G. NTMP — Briar Creek Road/Decorah Road Neighborhood/Willow Creek Neighborhood — SE/Yee stated that the residents along Briar Creek/Decorah Road have completed their consensus process and are ready to move forward APRIL 14, 2011 PAGE 5 T&T COMMISSION with final concept for the project. The Willow Creek neighborhood is currently working towards gaining the necessary 67% of household support needed to move forward. H. Lemon Avenue On/Off-Ramp Project—AE/Molina reported that staff held its monthly project development team meeting last week. The critical path for this project is the right-of-way agreement, an agreement that includes the State, D.B. and the City of Industry. The right-of-way agreement will allow the State to proceed with the partial acquisitions on five residential and two commercial properties that are required to accommodate this project. Staff hopes to present the agreement to Council for consideration in May. If that occurs, right-of-way acquisitions are expected to take anywhere from 12-18 months with construction commencing thereafter. Residential Area -7/Zone 5 Road Maintenance Project—AE/Molina stated that this project is currently being advertised for bids. The Engineer's estimate is $1.69 million and the scheduled bid opening is May 9th. Brea Canyon Road Drainage Improvement Project —AE/Molina indicated that this project was completed this week and the notice of completion was taken to Council on March 1St. The final cost was $85,250.30, about $8,500 under budget. K. 2010-2011 CDBG Curb Ramp Project—AE/Molina reported that this project was completed in March and the notice of completion was approved by Council on April 5th. A total of 44 new curb ramps were constructed in the Calbourne, Golden Prados and Adel/Gerndal neighborhoods. Due to the availability of additional CDBG funding, staff issued a project change order for eight additional ramps. The total cost for the project was $76,540. L. Speed Limit Signs in Front of Diamond Bar High School — SENee reported that this item was brought to the attention of staff by C/House in February. At the time, there was a "Reduce Speed to 25 mph When Children are Present" sign in the westbound direction only. Since that time, staff has installed a sign in the eastbound direction as well. PWD/Liu congratulated Chair/Pincher and VC/Carrera and thanked outgoing Chair/House for his work and support of staff. He welcomed new Commissioner Mahlke and introduced staff members. IX.
