A CorporatIOn - Transportation Planning Traffic Engineering memorandum Parking Studies TO: David DeMauro Vice President Administration and Finance California State University San Bernardino DISTRIBUTION 4-28-00: Councilman Suarez Ray Kasey ,/Anwar Wagdy FROM: Dick Kaku SUBJECT: Traffic Study DATE: March 7, 2000 REF: P2463 Kaku Associates, Inc. is pleased to respond to your request for proposal to conduct a traffic study as a follow-up' to the Environmental Impact Report previously prepared for the California State University San Bernardino Master Plan. The attached scope of work, which responds to each of the issues discussed during our meeting with the representatives of the City of San Bernardino on March 3, 2000, summarizes the proposed work program for this project. The scope of work is directed at the development of a roadway improvement program which the university hopes to implement in coordination with the City of San Bernardino. For the purposes of preparing a budget, it has been assumed that the study would include the t 5 intersections and 3 street segments identified during our meeting, We feel that this study can be completed within 8 weeks after notice to proceed and collection of any new traffic counts. It is estimated that a budget of $37,800 would be required to complete the work, This cost estimate includes $3t ,800 to conduct the actual analysis and $6,000 to conduct traffic counts at each of the 15 locations identified by the City Traffic Engineer. This is based on a rate of approximately $400 per location for a set of morning (2 hour) and afternoon (4 hour) peak period turning movement traffic counts. If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at (310) 458-9916. --. ~I r---, r--~ ,-)r, r- ~t...- C.

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, SAN BERNARDINO TRAFFIC ANALYSIS TO PREPARE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SCOPE OF WORK This traffic analysis is directed at the identification and verification of problems of traffic congestion, operations and safety which currently exist, or are expected to exist, on the local and regional roadway system which provides access to the California State University San Bernardino campus in the City of San Bernardino. We suggest that the scope of work include the following tasks: TASK 1 - DATA COLLECTION Relevant data for the study area will be collected including a detailed description of the street and highway system, traffic counts for all relevant intersections and street segments, and the identification of any major transportation improvements which may affect the traffic conditions within the study area. It may be necessary to collect additional traffic counts at one or more locations to ensure that adequate recent peak hour traffic counts are available for use in this study. For the purposes of developing a budget, it is assumed that all appropriate data would be made available for existing sources including the City of San Bernardino files, previously conducted studies, and data collected by Kaku Associates. It is assumed that new peak hour turning movement traffic counts would be collected at each location as part of this study. The new cQunts will satisfy standards identified by the City Traffic Engineer of the City of San Bernardino. For the purposes of preparing this proposal, it is assumed that a total of 15 intersections and 3 roadway segments would be analyzed with a detailed a.m. and p.m. peak hour capacity and impact analysis conducted at each location. An inventory will be made of the existing street system serving the study area, including number of lanes, street widths, traffic control devices, and operational characteristics at the 6 study intersections. Any additional pertinent data will also be compiled, including previously conducted traffic studies. TASK 2 - EXISTING CONDITIONS A detailed assessment existing operating conditions and constraints within the study area will be made. This assessment will be conducted in accordance with guidelines discussed and agreed upon with the City of San Bernardino Traffic Engineer using techniques and methodologies that provide the necessary data to allow a detailed analysis of operating conditions during the morning and evening peak hour of the street system and during periods when university traffic peaks. Levels of service will be quantified at the study intersections using the appropriate methodology. 2000-321 ,. .. Existing traffic operational problems and congested areas will be identified. These issues will be developed to a level of detail consistent with the requirements of the City including approach by approach level of seNice for all intersections, study periods that include both the typical peak hours of the street system and of the university-generated traffic. Existing transit seNice seNing the project site will be identified. TASK 3 - ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE CONDITIONS Work with university to identify growth projections for the campus. These include immediate (2 years), short-term (5 years) and long-term (10 year) growth projections with the identification of factors related to student enrollment, staff and faculty population and resident student population. These are necessary to develop trip generation forecasts for these time periods under future condition. These trip generation estimates will be based on factors used as part of the Master Plan EIR. TASK 4 - FORECASTS FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Forecasts of future traffic conditions will be developed which include background traffic growth and cumulative developments within the study area as well as growth in traffic resulting from changes on the CSUSB campus. The future base traffic conditions for study intersections located will be projected utilizing an updated list of cumulative projects and growth factor obtained from the City. Project trip generation will be estimated based an agreed upon source (e.g., the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (lTE's) Trip Generation, 6th Edition). Future weekday conditions with development of the proposed project, including background traffic growth, cumulative developments within the study area, and traffic generated by the growth on campus will be developed. Forecasts will include a 2-year forecast, a 5-year forecast and a 10-year forecast. For the purposes of this study, these will represent the immediate, short-term and long-range conditions in the study area. TASK 5 - ANALYSIS FOR FUTURE CONDITIONS Forecasts of future traffic volumes will be analyzed to assess the projected operating conditions within the study area. Methodologies similar to those identified in Task 2 will be used to calculate VIC ratios and to estimate levels of seNice at each of the intersections within the study area. Using techniques similar to those used to assess existing conditions, the analysis will be in sufficient detail to identify operating conditions for individual approaches of each intersection. This data will also be used to assess the likely impact of the university traffic on each intersection. . .' 2000-321 TASK 6 - IDENTIFICATION OF ISSUES The analysis of existing and future traffic conditions will be used to identify locations with current or projected problems associated with traffic congestion (i.e., insufficient capacity), operational issues (i.e., inefficient lane configurations, signal timing, etc_) and safety problems. This assessment will concentrate on the identification of existing or potential issues at the study intersections. Locations will be classified into those with current, immediate action, short-term and long-term issues. Based on discussions with you and the City staff, it is anticipated that these issues would include the following: . Alternatives to improve access from 1-215 to and from the campus, in particular reduction of queues on freeway off-ramps . Solutions to improve the intersection of Kendall Drive/University Parkway as a means of improving access to the campus . The potential benefits/costs associated with improvements to the Pepper/Linden corridor, especially as a secondary means of access to the campus . Opportunities associated with the creation of an inner road on campus, especially as it relates to an additional access point into and out of the campus . Issues associated with the potential benefits of the creation of a through route on an inner campus roadway . The need for the installation of additional signals at key locations, e.g., Little Mountain/Northpark . The use of changeable message signs on the 1-215 to direct motorists to use the correct route the campus . Assessment of the need to protect access control off of University Parkway TASK 7 - DEVELOP AND ASSESS MITIGATION MEASURES Potential roadway improvements designed to address each of the issues identified above will be prepared. In some cases, it may be necessary to deveiop more than one alternative improvement. The effectiveness of each will be assessed to determine if further measures are necessary. Preliminary cost estimates will also be developed using standard order-of-magnitude unit cost figures obtained from the City. ~ . " . . 2000- 321 . .,. These potential physical improvements will be evaluated from a conceptual planning perspective only. For each improvement, it will be necessary to coordinate with representatives of the relevant local agencies to identify the responsibility of each jurisdiction for each improvements. Agencies include the City of San Bernardino, the County and Caltrans. TASK 8 - DEVELOP IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM A proposed improvement program will be prepared which identifies the potential roadway improvement recommended for each impacted location, It will also be necessary to make a preliminary assessment of the relative priority of each improvement. This priority listing will consider several issues including the severity of the issues/problems, the potential cost-sharing program with multiple jurisdictions, the capital improvements costs, the need for additional right- of-way to implement the improvement, and potential for State or Federal funding to implement the improvement. TASK 9 - PREPARE TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM A technical memorandum will be prepared to document the results of this analysis.
