C/Carrera shared that he has observed a repeated occurrence as he approaches
Maple Hill Drive during the morning hours. The traffic signal on Maple Hill Drive at
Diamond Bar Boulevard will phase to yellow and never phase to green for Maple Hill
Drive cross traffic. AE/Malpica responded that staff has been working with the
vendor to upgrade the video detection cameras at that intersection. For example,
when it is dark or the pavement is wet and the light reflects to the camera, it triggers
the camera to go into a false mode by placing a call to the side street. Once it detects
no vehicles on the side street, it quickly changes back. Eventually, the vendor will
attempt to upgrade the software in the old cameras and if that does not work, they will
recommend that the City upgrade to a newer camera. In addition, there was a
pedestrian push button at that location that was damaged during a traffic accident
which caused additional wait time on Diamond Bar Boulevard. Staff will update the
Commission on the findings.
Chair/Mok stated that he recalls reading somewhere that the entrance coming into DB
from San Bernardino County at Longview Avenue and Grand Avenue would have
some improvements implemented soon. He asked if this was the same project that
has been discussed at previous Commission meeting regarding Grand Avenue and
Summitridge Drive. PWD/Liu responded that at its first meeting in April, the City
Council held a Study Session during which the opportunity to develop a beautification
project on Grand Avenue was discussed. As part of the proposal, staff is focusing on
two intersections 1) the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard
and 2) at Grand Avenue and Longview Drive. This is a project that will come back to
the Commission within a couple of months for review and discussion. A rough
concept of the proposed beautification project using Federal funds was presented to
the City Council to possibly include an entry statement at the easterly border. Since
the intersection of Grand Avenue and Diamond Bar Boulevard is at the center of the
town with four corner shopping centers, staff felt there was an opportunity to
reconstruct the entire intersection. The Council is supportive of the proposal and staff
has a kick-off meeting scheduled on Monday with the consultants to proceed with the
concept plan. If everything works out and the Council decides to move forward, the
work can commence by next summer.
Chair/Mok asked what future plans are for the old Ralph's Market location. There
was some mention made that a Walmart Grocery Store was going in. If that holds
MAY 9. 2013 PAGE 3 T&T COMMISSION
true, he asked if traffic would be problematic. PWD/Liu replied that a press release
given by the shopping center owner a couple of months ago indicated that a Walmart
Grocery Store is indeed a likely candidate. Staff has not seen any plans and once a
project application is submitted to the City, staff will be requesting traffic and parking
studies.
VIII. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
A. CCN Project
AE/Malpica reported that final adjustments were delayed due to configuration
issues that the consultant discovered upon examination of the cameras.
However, the consultant was able to fine-tune all of the cameras during the
week of April 29th. Final acceptance testing is scheduled to be completed by
the end of May. Once completed, staff will take the Notion of Completion to a
June City Council meeting for consideration.
B. Median Project at Grand Avenue and Summitridge Drive
AE/Malpica explained that staff received a revised PS&E during the week of
April 22"d, which is currently under review. Additionally, a second median
project at Diamond Bar Boulevard and Silver Hawk Drive is currently in the
design phase. Staff has proposed to advertise both projects at the same time
by the end of June/early July.
C. Traffic Signal Operation and Maintenance Master Plan
AE/Malpica stated that staff submitted comments to the consultant to be
incorporated into the report. The final report is scheduled to be completed by
June with some of the recommendations being implemented by early July,
depending on available funding.
D. SR57/60 Confluence at Grand Avenue Project— Public Hearing for Draft EIR
PWD/Liu reported that Caltrans is wrapping up the EIR. With respect to
funding, this project has been split into three phases.. Phases I and II are fully
funded, however, Phase III has a price tag of $235 million. Funding continues
to be an ongoing challenge for DB and Industry; on the other hand, there have
been new developments and opportunities. In March, staff and City Council
members traveled to Washington, D.C. along with City of Industry partners.
There is currently no funding available for any transportation related projects or
improvements; however, there is a new provision in Map -21, which requires
the designation of a National Freight Plan. One of the first things this bill asks
of USDOT is to establish a national primary freight network under the plan. In
the new legislation bill, when reference is made of a national freight network, it
speaks to 30,000 miles of interstate freight network. In this region, SR57 & 60
are state routes, and they are not part of the interstate network. However, that
corridor, and especially the SR60, is a very critical segment, notwithstanding
MAY 9, 2013 PAGE 4 T&T COMMISSION
L

G.
that SCAG has already identified the SR60 as a major east/west freight
corridor.
As a result of our collaboration effort, Congressional Members (Judy Chu, Ed
Royce and Grace Napolitano) signed a letter to Secretary Ray LaHood at
USDOT encouraging the secretary to consider including the SR60 onto the
National Freight Plan. Separately, SCAG had sent a letter to USDOT stating
the importance of adding the SR60 onto the National Freight Plan. This
addition is important because when funding is discussed at a later time, any
projects listed or identified on the National Freight Plan will have the first
opportunity to obtain funding.
Area 1 B/Zone 7 Road Maintenance Project
AE/Young reported that bids will be opened on Monday, May 13th. Plans and
specs have been available for pickup for prospective contractors since April
22"d. The engineer's estimate remains at $1.25 million and, if all goes well
with the bid opening on Monday, staff hopes to have a contract award for
Council consideration and approval at their May 21 st meeting.
Draft FY 2013-14 CIP Budget
PWD/Liu stated that last Tuesday night, staff introduced the Draft Budget for
Fiscal Year 2013-14 which includes the draft CIP. The City Council did not
discuss the CIP but will do so at its May 21st meeting. Staff felt it was
appropriate and timely to share this information with the Commissioners with a
copy of the proposed CIP projects presented this evening. PWD/Liu gave a
detailed explanation for each of the proposed projects listed in the CIP report.
2013-14 FY Goals & Objectives
PWD/Liu presented the City Council 2013-14 FY Goals & Objectives and gave
a detailed explanation of each Goal & Objective. He also mentioned how staff
will measure the success of each item.
Chair/Mok commented that the new format was great. Each bullet has been
explained and it is specific so that individuals can follow exactly what is being
done. Kudos to whoever designed the new format.
IX. SCHEDULE OF FUTURE CITY EVENTS: As stated in the agenda.
Chair/Mok wished everyone a happy Memorial Day and to mothers, Happy Mother's

FY 2013 — 14
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
Street Maintenance Projects
Arterial Slurry Seal/Overlay (Zone 7 and Zone 1) — The City is divided into 7 arterial
zones with one area treated per year. PCI for arterial streets average in the lows 80's, a
very good condition rating. Therefore, arterial slurry and overlay requires smaller annual
CIP investment than residential streets (<$300,000 as proposed).
Residential & Collector Road Maintenance (Area 1B and Area 2) — The City is
divided into 7 residential areas, with one area treated per year. All residential streets in
a respective area receive a slurry seal at a minimum. Pavement Condition Index
(PCI's) for residential streets average around the mid 60's, and therefore, the treatment
costs are higher than arterials on a per SF basis to maintain condition levels. The types
of treatments that are recommended range from slurry seal, cape seal and edge grind
and overlay.
Morning Canyon Reconstruction (DB Blvd. to Stonepine) - This project is being
separated from the annual Road Maintenance Project due to the individual attention and
dedicated budget that this section of roadway will require. The existing condition of the
pavement is lifted from tree roots. In addition to pavement rehabilitation, root pruning
and possible tree removal may be required.
Traffic Management/Safety Proiects
NTMP — Budget covers cost of program development, design, and construction for
neighborhood traffic calming projects. Typically average about one (1) NTMP project is
completed per year.
Traffic Signal Battery Back Up — City currently has 20 priority intersections equipped
with battery back-up systems. The current plan is to expand with 10 intersections per
year to cover the main arterial corridors of Grand Ave., Diamond Bar Blvd, and Golden
Springs Drive.
Traffic Signal Infrastructure Upgrades — Replaces outdated traffic signal equipment

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS
Street Maintenance Proiects
Arterial Slurry Seal/Overlay (Zone 2) — The City is divided into 7 arterial zones with
one area treated per year. PCI for arterial streets average in the lows 80's, a very good
condition rating. Therefore, arterial slurry and overlay requires smaller annual CIP
investment than residential streets (<$300,000 as proposed).
Residential & Collector Road Maintenance (Area 3) — The City is divided into 7
residential areas, with one area treated per year. All residential streets in a respective
area receive a slurry seal at a minimum. Pavement Condition Index (PCI's) for
residential streets average around the mid 60's, and therefore, the treatment costs are
higher than arterials on a per SF basis to maintain condition levels. The types of
treatments that are recommended range from slurry seal, cape seal and edge grind and
overlay.
Traffic Management/Safety Projects
NTMP — Budget covers cost of program development, design, and _ construction for
neighborhood traffic calming projects. Typically average about one (1) NTMP project is
completed per year.
