(Decimal degrees) (Decimal degrees)

3. Project Description

The proposed project will construct street, sidewalk, and bicycle lane improvements to create

continuous, aligned sidewalks and improved bicycle lanes within public right-of-way for bettermobility. This project involves the City's three main arterials -- Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante

Boulevard and Via de la Valle - and includes four regional transit system stops, and two school

bus stops that serve 31% of the Del Mar students attending the local middle school. The

project will also improve pedestrian and bicycle neighborhood connectivity to and around the22nd District Agricultural Association Del Mar Fairgrounds, through wider sidewalks, shorterdístance crosswalks, l-0 new ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps, increased visibility, wider and

more consistent bike lanes, improved roadway surface for bicyclists, and enhanced roadwaysignage and striping. The project will also construct a L00' diameter roundabout at theintersection of San Dieguito Drive and Jimmy Durante, which will improve traffic flow and

pedestrian safety, but also help reduce emission of greenhouse gases by eliminating a

significant amount of "stop and go" traffic at that location. Lastly, the project will also

incorporate "green street" elements, with low-impact stormwater management provisions,permeable surfaces to maximize groundwater recharge, and a stormwater treatment area,

which is important since the project area is about 1,000 feet from the Pacific Ocean.

III. SCREENING CRITERIA

1. Demonstrated Needs of the ApplicantDescribe the need for the project and/or funding

This proposed project is critical to increase public safety, traffic safety, bicycle and pedestriansafety, along the City's three main arterials of Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante Boulevard, andVia de la Valle. This project will construct sidewalks, thereby providing a critical link betweenthe 22nd District Agricultural Association Fairgrounds and the Del Mar Village and a pedestrianroute around the Fairgrounds. These roadways accommodate more than L8,700 vehicles on adaily basis and function as an alternate route to the l-5 freeway, provide an east-west linkbetween the freeway and the coast, serve a major North County Transit District regional busroute, and carry more than 400 bicyclists and 2,000 pedestrians each day. Within the projectarea, there are fourtransit stops and three school bus stops. Within the Village portion of theproject area, five percent of vehicle accidents involve pedestrians and twelve percent involvebicycles.

The Pedestrion qnd Bicycle Facilities olong Comino del Mar, Jimmy Duronte, and Via de la Volleproject is "shovel-ready" and partially-funded. Design work and environmental review are wellunderway, with anticipated completion by November 2OI4. The City of Del Mar is ready tocontribute a 60% match toward the construction cost for this project (51-,21-8,000). lncludingthe City's SZtg,OOO investment to-date (and committed for FiscalYear 2O1,4-2OL5\ in the designand environmental work for this project, the City's combined contribution toward the cost ofthis project is64% (51,437,000). The City of Del Mar is seeking a 40% contribution through theActive Transportation Program toward the construction costs for this project (SSL2,000).

2. Gonsistency with Regional Transportation Plan (100 words or less)Explain how this project is consistent with your Regional Transportation Plan (if applicable). lncludeadoption date of the plan.

On October 28,2Ot1, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) Board adopted the2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS). The2050 RTP and SCS guide the San Diego region toward a more sustainable future by integratingland use, housing, and transportation planning to create better links between jobs, homes, andactivity centers by enabling more people to use transit and to walk and bike. The proposedCamino del Mar Complete Streets project to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and intersectionsafety directly complements SANDAG's 2050 RTP and aligns with four of SANDAG's sixSustainable Communities Strategies, including: 2) Develop Regional Bicycle Plan Early ActionProgram; 3) Prepare an Active Transportation lmplementation Strategy; 4) Develop a RegionalTransit Oriented Development Strategy; and 6) Develop a Regional Complete Streets Policy.The bicycle lanes in this project area, proposed for improvement through this project, are partof SANDAG's Regional Bicycle Plan.

IV. NARRATIVE QUESTIONS

1. POTENTTAL FOR TNCREASED WALKTNG AND B|CYCL|NG, ESPECTALLY AMONG STUDENTS,INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF WALKING AND BICYCLING ROUTES TO AND FROM SCHOOLS,TRANSIT FAC|L|T!ES, COMMUNTTY CENTERS, EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, AND OTHERDESTINATIONS; AND INCLUDING INCREASING AND IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY oFNON-MOTORTZED USERS. (0-30 POTNTS)

A. Describe how your project encourages increased walking and bicycling, especially among students.

The project area extends along three of the City's arterial roadways and enhances the pedestrian

corridor between the central Village area, public transit stops (regional bus transit and the Solana

Beach commuter rail station), and the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which welcomes over three millionvisitors annually for over 350 regional events.

The proposed improvements alongVia de la Valle frame the northern boundary of the Fairgroundsand will improve access for employees and visitors who depend upon bus services and the adjacentSolana Beach commuter rail station for transportation to/from the Fairgrounds. Likewise, theimprovements along Jimmy Durante Drive will tremendously improve access for pedestrians and

bicyclists between the Fairgrounds and the central business district of Del Mar where the hotelsand restaurants are located. Currently, the network of sidewalks between these two areas (which

are 0.9 miles apart) is incomplete, which presents safety challenges and makes it hazardous forthose traveling by foot or bicycle.

The City's Community (General) Plan prioritizes pedestrian mobility as a means of preserving and

enhancing the special community character. At present, pedestrian "walkability" in Citywide is

inconsistent, and sidewalks are not uniformly provided.

The purpose of this project is to construct sidewalks and pedestrian ramps to complete and

enhance the sidewalk network in two areas, to increase visibility, to construct a roundabout, and toimprove the width-consistency and roadway surface conditions for bicyclists.

The Safe Routes to School component of this project will also improve pedestrian and bicycleaccess to a school bus route that transports3L9io of Del Mar seventh and eighth-grade students toEarl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach.

B. Describe the number and type of possible users and their destinations, and the anticipated percentageincrease in users upon completion of your project. Data collection methods should be described.

This project will greatly improve quality of life in the Del Mar community by improving mobility forpedestrians, as well as safety and accessibility for bicyclists in the central Village area and to and

around the Fairgrounds along the City's main arterial roadways. This project will also improveaccess to regional transit system stops and school bus stops. The proposed improvements willenhance the walkability and accessibility of our community, not only for the 4,500 residents thatcall Del Mar home, but also for the nearly 2 million people who visit Del Mar annually to visit thebeach, Fairgrounds, and the City's dozens of well-regarded restaurants, hotels, and shops.

According to data collected as part the Village Specific Plan in 2OI2, pedestrian movements weremonitored by counters installed at the corner of l-4th Street and Camino del Mar (which is

of67 Page 4 of 20

immediately adjacent to this project area). These counters provided baseline walking data. On

average, L,066 pedestrians per day use the west side of the l-4th Street and Camino del Marintersection and 739 pedestrians per day used the east side. These averages are much higher on

Saturdays, the overall peak day for pedestrians. On average, 1,680 pedestrians were counted on

the west side of Camino del Mar on Saturdays and L,037 were counted on the east side. The most

traveled route was southbound on the west side of Camino del Mar. Although these counters wereinclusive of L4th Street, which is one block north of the project area for this grant application, thedata is representative.

Additionally, the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which is centralto this project, welcomes overthree millionvisitors annually to over 350 events hosted at their facilities, drawing people from all over Southern

California. Constructing sidewalks between these two areas would enable more Fairgroundsvisitors to walk between the hotels, restaurants, and Fairgrounds.

Camino del Mar is often overburdened by commuter traffic using Camino del Mar to bypass

lnterstate 5's congestion, typically in the weekday afternoons.ln 2012, according to data collectionas part of the Village Specific Plan process, the average daily traffic was L8,700 along Camino del

Mar, exceeding current capacity of 1-5,500 vehicles. During seasonal events (race track or fairevents), traffic volumes were recorded as high as 23,I0O vehicles per day.

Del Mar is well suited for bicycle through-travel along the north-south corridor. The north-southroute along Camino del Mar is relatively flat and the scenery makes it an attractive route to ride.

The entire corridor is used for recreational cycling along the coast, as well as commuter trafficbetween the coastal cities and Torrey Pines Mesa, south of Del Mar. Camino del Mar includes five-foot wide striped bicycle lanes (Class ll) throughout the entire study area. According to bicycle

traffic counter data compiled as part of the Village Specific Plan, Camino del Mar bicycle lanes

average 362 cyclists daily, and of those 46% (L66l, were riding southbound and 54% (L96)northbound. Saturday record the highest amount of cyclists, with averages around 750 riders. The

bicycle lanes along Jimmy Durante Boulevard and Via de la Valle provide bicycle access from theDel Mar Village and beach area to the nearby commercial areas in Solana Beach and the City of San

Diego off Via de la Valle. Between 2003 and 2O1,L, t2% of all reported traffic accidents along

Camino del Mar involved bicycles. All of these bicycle lanes are identified as part of SANDAG's

Regional Bicycle Plan.

According to the 20L0 US Census, more than 32% of Del Mar residents are over age 60, which is thehighest percentage in San Diego County. Additionally, the 201-0 Census showed thal 48% of Del

Mar residents were over age 50. Forty percent of all residents live within a l-O-minute walk of thesouthern segment of this project area. All of these improvements will enhance the walkability and

accessibility of our community for all residents, but especially maturing residents.

A school bus route that transports Del Mar students to Earl Warren Middle Schooltravels throughthe project area, with two stops. This school bus route serves 3L% of the student population forthis schoolthat resides in the City of Del Mar.

The regional transit provider for this area, North County Transit District, reports that average

ridership for this area is 176 passengers. That number is expected to increase with improvedpedestrian and bicycle access between the transit stops and the visitor attraction/employmentcenter.

of67 Page 5 of 20

No estimates are available for increases in pedestrian and bicycle use of Camino del Mar, Via de laValle, or Jimmy Durante based on this project, However, safer conditions and improvedaccessibility are expected to generate additional use of this corridor by pedestrians and bicycles.

Another expected long-term outcome is business revitalization, which will also result in additionalpedestrians and bicycles.

C. Describe how this project improves walking and bicycling routes to and from, connects to, or is part of aschool or school facility, transit facility, community center, employment center, state or national trailsystem, points of interest, and/or park.

This project will improve walking and bicycle routes to, from, and between schools, transit facilities,an employment center, a central business area, the County fairgrounds, a regional trail system, a

State park, a popular public beach, and numerous other points of interest.

A significant benefit of this project is that it will directly benefit traffic circulation and pedestrianand bicycle access for employees and visitors to the 22nd District Agricultural Association San DiegoCounty Fairgrounds and between the Fairgrounds and the central business district of Del Marwhere the hotels and restaurants are located. Currently, the network of sidewalks between thesetwo areas (which are less than one mile apart) is incomplete, which presents safety challenges and

makes it hazardous for those traveling by foot or bicycle.

Although there are no public schools within Del Mar, within this project area there is a school bus

route that transports students to Earl Warren Middle School in the adjacent City of Solana Beach.

This San Dieguito Union High School District school provides seventh and eighth grade for Del Marresidents. There are three (3) SDUHSD school bus stops within the City of Del Mar. Approximately3!% of the seventh and eighth-grade student population that resides in the City of Del Mar uses

these bus stops on a daily basis. Two of these bus stops are located directly within the project area

for this grant application, and the proposed project will enhance safety for students accessing thebus stops. The improvements proposed through this projects will directly improve safety forstudents accessing these school bus stops by foot or bicycle, and will likely increase ridership forthis school bus route, thereby avoiding parent transportation to and from the school.

This project will also directly benefit traffic circulation and pedestrian and bicycle access withinNorth San Diego County, complementary to NCTD's transit routes in Del Mar. There are four (4)

NCTD bus stops within or immediately adjacent to this project area, servingtT6 passengers daily.The improvements proposed by this project will improve access for employees and visitors whodepend upon bus services and the adjacent Solana Beach commuter rail station for transportationto/from the Fairgrounds and other destinations.

The San Dieguito River Park extends along a 55-mile corridor that begins at the mouth of the San

Dieguito River in Del Mar, and ends at the desert just east of Volcan Mountain. Part of the "Coastto Crest" trail traverses directly through this project area. lmproving pedestrian and bicyclemobility in this area will improve access and safety for those using the River Park trail system. lnfact, the roundabout will help those walking the trail to cross from one side to the other.

This project area is located about one and a half-miles north of the Torrey Pines State Park and

Beach area, which includes many miles of trails. Completion of the sidewalks in this area wouldcomplete pedestrian access from the Del Mar Village to this amenity, enjoyed by thousands ofvisitors and residents annually.

of67 Page 6 of 20

D. Describe how this project increases and/or improves connectivity, removes a barrier to mobility and/orcloses a gap in a non-motorized facility.

This project will improve connectivity and remove barriers to mobility by constructing 36,000square feet of sidewalk and L0 pedestrian ramps where none exists currently, The project will also

improve bike lanes by making the width more consistent and improving roadway surfaceconditions. Construction of a roundabout at key intersection will improve traffic circulation and

improve safety conditions for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. These improvements will makethese areas more oriented toward pedestrians and bicyclists, providing better connectivity totransit stops and school bus stops.

2. POTENTIAL FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER AND/OR RATE OF PEDESTRIAN AND BIGYCLISTFATALITIES AND INJURIES, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF SAFETY HAZARDS FORPEDESTRTANS AND BtCyCLtSTS. (0-25 PO'NIS)

A. Describe the potential of the project to reduce pedestrian and/or bicycle injuries or fatalities.

According to data collected for the Del Mar Village Specific Plan prepared in August 2012, Del

Mar's accident data shows approximately 5% of vehicular accidents within the Village area(which is part of one segment of this project area) involve a pedestrian and L2/o involve a

bicycle. Many of these accidents were injury accidents, including one fatality. The communityhas often cited the speed of vehicles, lack of visibility and long crossings as detriments topedestrian safety.

This project is directly intended to improve these conditions by:

o Constructing sidewalks where none currently exist;o lmproving intersection safety;o Constructing pedestrian ramps;o lncreasing visibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists;o lmprove conditions of bicycle lanes;o lmproving roadway conditions and signage; ando Constructing a roundabout.

B. Describe if/how your project will achieve any or all of the following:

o Reduces speed or volume of motor vehicles

o lmproves sight distance and visibility

o lmproves compliance with localtraffic laws

o Eliminates behaviors that lead to collisions

o Addresses inadequate traffic control deviceso Addresses inadequate bicycle facilities, crosswalks or sidewalks

This project will achieve all of the objectives listed above by constructing a roundabout at a key

intersection, narrowing lanes, widening bike lanes, constructing sidewalks where none exist,constructing 10 pedestrian ramps, clearing vegetation as necessary to improve visibility,improving roadway signage and striping, improving roadway surface conditions, and improvingthe pedestrian corridor.

C. Describe the location's history of events and the source(s) of data used (e.9. collision reports, communityobservation, surveys, audits) if data is not available include a description of safety hazard(s) and photos.

Extensive evaluation work for a portion of this project area (and adjacent to) was completed as

part of the Village Specific Plan process in 2011 and 2012. According to data collection for theVillage Specific Plan process,5%o of all vehicle accidents in the project area involve pedestrians

and L2% involve bicycles. Preparation of the Village Specific Plan involved extensive communityparticipation. Additionally, this project is consistent with the Camino del Mar Streetscape Plan

adopted in 1996, which also involved extensive evaluation and community participation.

3. PUBLIG PART¡GIPATION and PLANNING (0-15 POINTS)

A. Describe the community based public participation process that culminated in the project proposal orplan, such as noticed meetings/public hearings, consultation with stakeholders, etc.

An extensive amount of public engagement has occurred over several decades leading to theproposal of this project, including:

o Del Mar Community Plan (I976; updated L985), which calls for a pedestrian-orientedcommunity;

o Community Del Mar Streetscape Plan (adopted in December 1-996);

o Village Specific Plan (2OLL/2O12; not updated; extensive public participation, includingdozens of neighborhood "community conversation" meetings); and

o Development of the 10-year Capital lmprovement Plan (including noticed City Councilmeetings; adoption in September 2013).

Additionally, this project was addressed by the City's Planning Commission on July 9, 20L3 and

the City Council on June L,2073, to ensure the proposed L0-year Capital lmprovement Plan was

in conformance with the Del Mar Communíty (General) Plan and Streetscape Plan.

The bike lanes within this project area and proposed for improvement are part of SANDAG's

Regional Bicycle Plan, which also had a substantial public input process prior to adoption.

B. Describe the local participation process that resulted in the identification and prioritization of the project:

As noted above, public engagement has occurred over several decades related to theseproposed improvements for Camino del Mar. With the adoption of the Community Plan in1976, Del Mar citizens expressed their goals and objectives for the City, many which relateddirectly to the Village. Many planning studies related to the downtown, most with their ownextensive public input programs and citizen advisory committees have been completed since

the adoption of the Community Plan. One example is the Camino del Mar Streetscape Plan,

adopted in December L996, which clearly establishes a community vision for a pedestrian-oriented Village.

As part of the Village Specific Plan process, public participation and input was gained through a

series of "Community Conversations" or neighborhood meetings, community meetings, and

City Council workshop

This project was addressed by the City's Planning Commission on July 9,2OL3 and City Councilon June 1-,201-3, to ensure the proposed 10-year Capital lmprovement Plan was in conformancewith the Del Mar Community (General) Plan and Streetscape Plan.

4. COST EFFECTTVENESS 10-10 POlNrS/

A. Describe the alternatives that were considered. Discuss the relative costs and benefits of all thealternatives and explain why the nominated one was chosen.

ManyareasoftheCityof Del Marweredevelopedwithoutsidewalks, ln2OL3,theCityevaluatednumerous sidewalk/streetscape/roadway/drainage improvement projects and identified a long-range plan and project prioritization. This project is identified as part of that plan as one of the toppriority projects, chosen based on community input, consistency with the Community (General)

Plan (1985) and the Camino del Mar Streetscape Plan (1996), the value it will add to thecommunity, the need for it, and its anticipated usefulness. This project will preserve communitycharacter and address the community's priorities to improve bike lanes and pedestrian access

along the main arterial corridors.

ln evaluating the cost effectiveness of this project, the City of Del Mar evaluated potential benefitsassociated with the project, including transportation efficiency, safety, economic, environmental,health benefits, and other. The following resources were used forthis analysis: "Evaluating Active

Transportation Benefits and Costs" by Todd Litman; "Economic Benefits of Walkability: Case Studyof La Jolla Boulevard, Bird Rock Community, San Diego" by Walk San Diego; "Local Roadway Safety

Manual for California Local Road Owners" by Caltrans; "Economic Analysis Primer" by US

Department of Transportation; "Walk this Way: The Economic Promise of Walkable Places in

Metropolitan Washington, DC;" and "Current Parking Conditions and Recommendations - City ofDel Mar Study (Walker Parking Consultants Study, October 16,20L3').

For many of the categories, there is believed to be a significant economic benefit, howevercalculating an exact financial amount over the course of the life of the project is infeasible given

many unknown factors.

The most significant economic benefits associated with this project include: increased propertyvalues (which will result in increased property tax for the City of Del Mar); increased business

activity associated with increased bicycle and pedestrian traffic as a result of improved conditions;increased transient occupancy tax and hotel occupancy; decreased claims liability associated withtrip and fall claims on the sidewalk; and job creation for construction. The value of these benefitswas totaled over the estimated lifespan for a project of this nature (30-years).

Literature on this topic advises to identify the estimated increase in pedestrian and bicycle miles

traveled, and to then multiply by the unit values (per mile) for each respective benefit. ln the case

of this project, although pedestrian and bicycle miles are anticipated to increase, quantifiableprojections for these increases are not available. Calculating the economic value of this benefitwould require much more analysis, which would be cost-prohibitive at this time.

ln total, overthe life of this project, the estimated benefit is nearlySZ.Z m¡llion

5. IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH (0-10 points)

A. Describe how the project will improve public health, i.e. through the targeting of populations who have ahigh risk factor for obesity, physical inactivity, asthma, or other health issues.

fhe Pedestrian ond Bicycle Facilities olong Comino del Mar, Jimmy Duronte, and Via de lo Valle project

to construct pedestrian, bicycle and intersection safety improvements will improve public health by

creating a more pedestrian-friendly and bicycle accessible community, as well as provide enhanced

access to public transit. This project will also be beneficial from a public health perspective for an

aging population.

A review of the City of Del Mar's status within the County of San Diego's Community Health Statistics

showed that, fortunately, the health of Del Mar's population is generally better than the averages forthe County and sub-region of the County that Del Mar is part of (Central Coast). However, it is

important to note that Del Mar welcomes over 3 million visitors annually; providing a more walkable,

bicycle-oriented community is beneficial not only to Del Mar's 4,500 residents, but all of these visitorsas well.

According to the 2010 US Census, more than 32% of Del Mar residents are over age 60, which is thehighest percentage in San Diego County. Additionally, the 2010 Census showed that 48% of Del Marresidents were over age 50. Since this project includes part of Del Mar's central village area, which iswithin a l-O-minute walk for 40% of Del Mar residents, this project will improve public health forresidents of all ages by encouraging physical activity and walking/bicycling as a mode of transportation.This project better enables aging residents to stay in their own homes, particularly those who are no

longer able to drive, by improving access for pedestrians to services and public transit.

Numerous studies describe the public health benefits associated with this type of project. For

example, according to a study by the Victoria Transport Policy lnstitute "Evaluating ActiveTransportation Benefits and Costs," residents in the most walkable areas, with good street connectivityand land use mix, were half as likely to be overweight as those in the least walkable neighborhoods.

This project, which adheres to the "Complete Streets" approach, will provide opportunities forincreased physical activity by incorporating features that promote regular walking, cycling, and transituse. A report prepared by the National Conference of State Legislators found that the most effectivepolicy avenue for encouraging bicycling and walking is incorporating sidewalks and bike lanes intocommunity design - essentially, creating Complete Streets.

Walking and cycling are among the most practical and effective ways to be physically active,

Walkability has a direct and specific relation to the health of residents. A comprehensive study ofwalkability has found that people in walkable neighborhoods did about 35-45 more minutes ofmoderate intensity physical activity per week and were substantially less likely to be overweight orobese than similar people living in low-walkable neighborhoods.

Regarding an aging population as related to Del Mar, according to a study by Rebecca H. Hunter, MEd,

from the Program on Aging at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, next to driving orriding in cars, walking is the most frequent mode of transportation for older adults. Walking is key tomaintaining physical and mental well-being, as well as social engagement.

Page24 of 67 Page'14 of 20

It has been cited by the "WalkWise, Drive Smart" program from Hendersonville, North Carolina, in

partnership with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), considering our rapidly agingpopulation, it is important to develop safer and more walkable communities so older adults, includingthose with functional impairments, can continue to be mobile.

Additionally, according to "Smart Growth America," a recent comprehensive assessment by public

health researchers of actions to encourage more physical activity recommended building moresidewalks, improving transit service, and shifting highway funds to create bike lanes.

Smart Growth America also cites one study that found that 43% of people with safe places to walkwithin L0 minutes of home met recommended activity levels; among those without safe places to walkjust 27% met the recommendation. Residents are 657o more likely to walk in a neighborhood withsidewalks.

Easy access to transit can also contribute to healthy physical activity. Nearly one-third of transit users

meet the Surgeon General's recommendations for minimum daily exercise through their daily travels.The project area for this project includes a regional public transit route and six stops. lmprovedconditions for pedestrians will enhance access to public transit.

Lastly, Smart Growth America states that a community with a Complete Streets policy ensures streetsare designed and altered to make it easy for people to get physical activity as part of their dailyroutine, helping them stay trim, avoid heart disease, and receive the many other benefits of physical

activity.

This proposed project for the Camino del Mar Complete Streets Network is closely aligned with all ofthese goals, and will be beneficial for all Del Mar residents and visitors

B. Describe how the project demonstrates a clear benefit to a disadvantaged community and whatpercentage of the project funding will benefit that community, for projects using the school based criteriadescribe specifically the school students and community will benefit.

This project is beneficial to a disadvantaged community in that it will improve pedestrian and

bicycle access to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which includes a residential component for 1,200low-income temporary workers.

The 22nd District Agricultural Association Fairgrounds property comprises roughly 20 percent ofthe land area of the City of Del Mar. The annual San Diego County Fair and the Del Marthoroughbred horse race meet employ a large number of workers in temporary positions and

for numerous other events conducted intermittently on the property. Jobs associated with theannual Fair and race meet are primarily low-paying positions. Due to the temporary nature ofthe work, workers are usually residents of lower-cost communities in the region, but travel tothe Fairgrounds when temporary employment is available.

Housing is available on the Fairgrounds for approximately 1-,200 people on a seasonal basis.

Currently, on-site housing for temporary employees is provided in the form of up to 110

recreational vehicle (RV) parking spaces and multiple dorm buildings containing basic sleepingrooms with shared bathroom facilities. Many of the employees utilizing the various sleepingquarters, especially during the Del Mar Fair and horse racing season, are persons with lowerincomes, such as carnival workers and equine grooms. During the Del Mar Fair, both the roomsand RV facilities are available to carnival workers, Future Farmers of America (FFA) members,and 4-H members and their parents. Carnival operators and commercial exhibitors also areable to utilize the RV facilities during the Fair. During racing season, the sleeping rooms and RV

parkingfacilitiesareavailabletohorsehandlersandgrooms. Fortheremainderoftheyearthesleeping rooms are locked and not used. The RV spaces are available for the remainder of theyear for use by persons exhibiting at the various shows occurring on the site and by personstraveling in their RVs. ln most cases, these temporary housing arrangements are insubstandard conditions.

of 67 Page 16 of20

The 22nd District Agricultural Association has adopted a (2003) Master Plan that includes a

residential component. lt identifies the demolition of the existing dormitory style housing now

used by seasonal workers and construction of 78 new replacement units to be available for itsseasonal workers, as well as for some of its permanent employees. The City is working with the

District to facilitate the construction of those new units in a manner that meets the definition ofdwelling units under both the California Building Code and the U.S. Census Bureau.

On February !9,2OL3, the Del Mar City Council adopted a resolution to initiate a partnership

between the City and the 22nd DAA to carry out shared goals regarding housing at the

Fairgrounds property. On March L2,2OI3, the Board of Directors of the 22nd DAA adopted a

similar resolution.

Location, Project Limits, Description, Scope of Work

This project is located within the City of Del Mar in San Diego County. The area for this project is dividedinto two segments. One section of the project extends along Camino del Mar, from 15th Street north toJimmy Durante Boulevard to the intersection with San Dieguito Drive. The other section of the project isalong the southern side of Via de la Valle from Camino del Mar on the west to Jimmy Durante Boulevard

on the east.

The proposed project will construct street and sidewalk improvements to create continuous, alignedsidewalks within public right-of-way for better pedestrian mobility. The project will also improvepedestrian and bicycle neighborhood connectivity to and around the Del Mar Fairgrounds through widersidewalks, shorter distance crosswalks, L0 new ADA-accessible pedestrian ramps, increased visibility,wider and more consistent bike lanes, improved roadway surface for bicyclists, and enhanced roadwaysignage and striping. This project will also construct a L00' diameter roundabout at the intersection ofSan Dieguito Drive and Jimmy Durante, which will improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety, but alsohelp reduce emission of greenhouse gases by eliminating a significant amount of "stop and go" traffic atthat location. Lastly, this project will also incorporate a stormwater treatment area.

Purpose ønd Need

The Del Mar Fairgrounds annually hosts approximately 350 events, drawing about 3 million visitors,most notably the San Diego County Fair and the thoroughbred races. These events have a regionalaudience and bring visitors from around San Diego County and beyond. Additionally, the Fairgrounds is

also a regional employment hub.

The purpose of the proposed project is to increase public safety, traffic safety, and pedestrian safetyalong the City's main arterials of Camino del Mar (which is Del Mar's main arterial in the heart of theVillage), Jimmy Durante Boulevard, and Via de la Valle.

These roadways are heavily-traversed, not only by residents and visitors to Del Mar, but they also serveas a regional thoroughfares. For example, Camino del Mar provides an alternate north-south routeparallel to the lnterstate 5 freeway along the coast. Average daily counts on Camino del Mar include:2,000 pedestrians; 4,000 bicyclists; and 18,700 vehicles.

Public safety is increasingly compromised due to increased conflicts between automobile, pedestrians,and bicycles in the project area. Del Mar's accident data shows that 5% of vehicular accidents within theVillage involve a pedestrian. Many of these incidents were injury accidents, including one fatality.

The Fairgrounds property is one mile from the Del Mar Village where the majoriÇ of hotels, restaurants,and businesses are located. There is currently no sidewalk connection between the Village and the

o'167

Fairgrounds, making it either unsafe for pedestrians travelling between the Village and Fairgrounds orgenerating vehicle trips that could be avoided if the pedestrian facilities were improved.

Additionally, a regional transit line runs through the project area. Within the project area, along Camino

del Mar, there are four North CountyTransit Districttransit stops. One mile north of the project area is

the Solana Beach station for the Coaster commuter rail. While the transit stops are nearby theFairgrounds, currently there are no sidewalks along Via de la Valle or Camino del Mar/immy DuranteBoulevard connecting the transit stops to the Fairground entrances, which presents safety challenges

and makes it less appealing for visitors/employees to use public transit and then travel by foot to theirfinal destination. This project would construct the necessary sidewalks to connect the Fairgrounds tothe transit stops.

While there are no public schools located within the City of Del Mar, this project area includes a San

Dieguito Union High School District bus stop that transports students to Earl Warren Middle School in

the adjacent city of Solana Beach. lt is estimated that more than 30% of Earl Warren students thatreside in Del Mar utilize the school bus route that serves these two stops.

Lastly, an important cross-county 55-mile regional trail passes directly through this project area. The

trail is part of the San Dieguito River Park corridor that begins at the mouth of the San Dieguito River in

Del Mar (less than a mile from the project area) and traverses east to the desert just beyond Volcan

Mountain in Julian. lmproving pedestrian and bicycle mobility in this area will improve access to thetrail and safety for those using it.

Project Benefìts

This project will add 36,000 square feet of sidewalk, 7,200 linear feet of curb and gutter, 10 newpedestrian ramps, 40,000 square feet of pavement grind and overlay, one stormwater treatment area,

masonry retaining walls 7,000 square feet in area, and a l-00' diameter roundabout w¡th splitter islands.

Susto i nøbl e Com m u nity Strate gi es

On October 28, 2OLL, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the 2050 Regional

Transportation Plan and ¡ts Sustainable Communities Strategy (2050 RTP/SCS) for the San Diego

region, becoming the first large region in California to prepare an RTP under California climatechange legislation (SB 375).

Of the six strategies identified, the four applicable to this proposed project include

2) Develop Regionol Bicycle Plan Early Action Progrøm

The project area includes Class ll bike lanes along Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and

Via de la Valle that are identified within the SANDAG 2050 Regional Bicycle Plan

(established in October 2OIL\. lmproving these bike lanes, as planned through thisproject, is consistent with this Sustainable Communities Strategy.

3) Prepore on Actíve Tronsportotion lmplementotion Strotegy

The SANDAG 2050 Regional Transportation Plan encourages the concept andimplementation of Active Transportation. ln addition, the SANDAG Regional

Comprehensive Plan (RCP), adopted in 2OO4, is also consistent with the vision ofincreased implementation of Active Transportation by calling for more transportationoptions, and a balanced regional transportation system to support smart growth and a

more sustainable region. Toward that end, the RCP established a regional objective to"create more walkable and bicycle-friendly communities consistent with good urbandesign concepts."

4) Develop o Regîonol Tronsit Oriented Development Strategy

This project is consistent with the Regional Transit Oriented Development Strategy thatSANDAG is developing, in that it will encourage walking and biking, it is compatible withand adjacent to public transit, and therefore, will encourage transit ridership. Fortypercent of Del Mar residents live within a 10-minute walk of a portion of this projectarea. Four NCTD bus stops are located within this project area, as well as one schoolbus stop. The Solana Beach Coaster commuter rail station is less than one-mile fromthis project area, using the Class I Coastal Rail Trail.

6) Develop o Regíonol Complete Streets Policy

This proposed project is consistent with the "Regional Complete Streets Policy" thatSANDAG is currently considering.

Subject: Support of the City of Del Mar's ApplÍcation for the CALTRANS ActiveTransportation Pro gram

To Whom It May Concern:

I write in strong support of the City of Del Mar's application for grant funding through theCALTRANS Active Transportation Program for the Camino del Mar Complete Streets Network:Pedestrion, Bicycle, and Inlersection Safety Improvements andthe Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilitiesalong Catnino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and Via de la Valle project.

The projects will complete the pedestrian and bicycle transportation network along Del Mar's threemain arterials. Both projects strongly align with the criteria for the Active Transportation Program.

The proposed projects will directly benefit traffic circulation and pedestrian and bicycle access

within North San Diego County. Within each projecl area, there are regional transit system stopsfor the North County Transit District, as well as school bus stops that transport students to nearbyschools.

There are no public schools within the City of Del Mar, so improving safe access to these bus stopsprovides safer pedestrian and bicycle access to schools, Plus, the Del Mar Fairgrounds is locatedwithin one of the project areas. The Fairgrounds is home to over 350 regional events annually and isvisited by more than three million people during the year. The largest events during the year are theannual San Diego County Fair and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Races.

The improvements proposed by both projects will improve access for employees and visitors w.hodepend upon bus service and the adjacent Solana Beach commuter rail station for transportation toand from the Fairgrounds and other destinations.

RE: Support for City of Del Mar's CALTRANS Active Transportation Program Grant Applications

Dear Ms. Nitsos:

I am writing to express support for the City of Del Mar's application for grant funding through theCALTRANS Active Transportation Program for two important projects in my district: the Camino delMar Complete Streets Network Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Intersection Safety Improvements, and thePedestrian & Bicycle Facilities along Camino del Mar, Jimmy l)urante, and Via de la Valle project.As projects that will complete the pedestrian and bicycle transportation network along Del Mar's threemain arterials, both of these projects strongly align with the criteria for the Active Transport¿tion Program.

These projects would directly benefit traffrc circulation and pedestrian and bicycle access for the region.Within each project area, there are public transit system and school bus stops that transport students tonearby schools. There are no public schools within the City of Del Mar, so improving safe access to these

bus stops provides safer pedestrian and bicycle access for children. Camino del Mar, which is a centralpoint for both project areas, serves as a major bicycling corridor traveled by an average of more than 400cyclists and,2,000 pedestrians each day.

In addition, the Del Mar Fairground is located within one of the project areas. Every year, the Fairgroundprovides 350 regional events, including the San Diego County Fair and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Races,

and is visited by more than three million people. The improvements proposed by both of these projectswould increase access for employees and visitors who depend on bus services and the adjacent SolanaBeach commuter rail station for transportation to and from the Fairgrounds and other destinations.

The projects are ideal to meet CALTRANS's program goals and I urge your support of the City of DelMar's applications for the Active Transportation Program grant. Please contact me at (619) 645-3133should you have any questions.

To Whom it May Concern;

On behalf of the 22nd District Agricultural Association - which encompasses the Del Mar Fairgrounds and provides 350

regional events annually for over three million vis¡tors, most notably the San Diego County Fair and the Del Mar

Thoroughbred Races - this letter is sent to express support for the City of Del Ma/s application for grant funding through

the CALTRANS Active Transportation Program for the Camino del Mar Complete Streets Network: Pedestrion, Bicycle, ond

lntersection Safety lmprovements and the Pedestrion & Bicycle Focìlities along Comino del Mør, Jimmy Durante, and Vio

de lo Valle project.

As projects that will complete the pedestrian and bicycle transportation network along Del Mar's three main arterials,

both of these projects strongly align with the criteria for the Active Transportation Program.

Both of these proposed projects will directly benefit traffic circulation and pedestrian and bicycle access for visitors to the

San Diego County Fairgrounds.

The Fairgrounds sits prominently within the project area for the Pedestriøn & Bicycle Facilities olong Comino del Mor,

Jimmy Durante and Via de la Valle project The proposed improvements along Via de la Valle frame the northern boundary

of the Fairgrounds and will improve access for employees and visitors who depend upon bus services and the adjacent

Solana Beach commuter railstation for transportation tofrom the Fairgrounds. Likewise,the Camino del Mar Complete

Streets Network: Pedestrion, Bicycle, and lntersection SoÍety lmprovements project area willtremendously improve access

for pedestrians and bicyclists between the Fairgrounds and the central business district of Del Mar where the hotels and

restaurants are located, Currently, the network of sidewalks between these two areas is incomplete, which presents

safety challenges and makes it hazardous for those traveling by foot or bicycle.

On behalf of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, we urge your support of the City of Del Mar's application for the

Active Transportation Program grant funds.

RE: SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF DEL MÄR'S APPLICATION FOR THE CALTRANS ACTIVE TRANSPORATIONGRANT

Dear Sir/Ma'am:

This letter is sent to express suppott for the City of Del Mar's application for grant funding through the CALTRANSActive Transportation Program (ATP) for the Camino del Mar Complete Streets Network: Pedestrian, Bicycle, andInterseclion Sa/ely Improvements and the Pedestrian & Bicycle Facililies along Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante,and Via de la Vqlle proiect.

These two projects will complete the pedestrian and bicycle transportation network along Del Mar's three mainarterials. The projects also strongly align with the criteria for the ATP and will critically improve public safety inthis community.

Both of these proposed projects will directly benefit traffic circulation as well as pedestrian and bicycle access

withi¡ì North San Diego County, Within each project area, there aro regional tlansit system stops (for the NorthCounty Transil District), as well as school bus stops that transport students to nearby schools. There are no publicschools within the City of Del Mar, so improving safe access to these bus stops, essentially provides safer pedestrian

and bicycle access to schools. Additionally, the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which is located wilhin one of the projectareas, hosts 350 regional events annually and is visited by more than three million people. The most notable events

arc thc San Dicgo County Fair and the Dcl Mar Thoroughbred Races. Thc improvcmcnts proposed by both of theseprojects will irnprove access for employees and visitors who depend upon bus services and the adjacent Solana

Beach commuter rail station for transportation to and from the Fairgrounds and other destinations. Lastly, Caminodel Mar, which is a center point for both project areas, serves as a major bicycling corridor, traveled by an average

of more than 400 cyclists each day and 2,000 pedestrians.

As the Sherifl's Depaftment Captain for this area, I urge your suppoft of the City of Del Mar's applications for the

Active Transportation Program grant.

City of Del Mar Alternative Transportation Program – Regional Project: Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilities Along Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and Via de la Valle Supplemental Questionnaire for SANDAG PROJECT READINESS – COMPLETION OF MAJOR MILESTONES: Which of the following steps for the project have been completed? o Community Active Transportation Strategy/Neighborhood-Level Plan/Corridor Study

• The City implemented a neighborhood-level Community Plan in 1976, with amendments in 1985, which identifies goals, objectives and policies for environmental and transportation management.

• The City implemented the Camino del Mar Streetscape Plan corridor study in 1996 and a Sidewalks, Streets & Drainage 10-year Capital Improvements Plan, which outline a streetscape concept and plans for: pedestrian improvements, residential access connections, bicycle improvements, traffic improvements, accessibility improvements, lane width reduction, and parking improvements.

o Environmental Documentation/Certification

• The environmental documentation/certification is scheduled to start at the end of June 2013, and will last 20 weeks.

o Right-of-Way Acquisition

• No right-of-way acquisition is required.

o Final Design • Final design is from the end of June to October 2014.

1

LINKAGES TO BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, AND TRANSIT NETWORKS:

Provide a map that clearly illustrates the project’s relationship to existing local and regional bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities. Specifically, note if the projects closes any gaps in bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

• Following is a map that indicates gaps (highlighted red & green areas) in existing sidewalk, curb and gutter infrastructure. The project will add new sidewalk, curb and gutter in order to ensure continuity along the entireties of Camino del Mar and Via de la Valle. Camino del Mar provides the only local access points to school & public transit facilities, as illustrated by the bus stop icons below, and is the thoroughfare to the nearby North County Transit District Coaster station. Closing the gaps in pedestrian facilities is key to ensuring safe access to these transit facilities.

• Bicycle facilities (lanes) are currently in existence, but would be enlarged through this project to enhance cyclist safety.

2

EFFECTIVENESS AND COMPREHENSIVENESS OF PROPOSED PROJECT:

Describe the specific traffic calming, pedestrian, and bicycle treatments being proposed and why they are particularly suited to address the needs of the project area.

• Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and Via de la Valle are the City’s primary arterial streets and border the 22nd District Agricultural Association property (Del Mar Fairgrounds), which yields a high volume of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle activity annually. Therefore, traffic calming is of great importance to ensure pedestrian and bicycle safety in this area. The Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilities Along Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and Via de la Valle project slows traffic through a variety of “road diet” mechanisms: narrowing travel lanes, widening bike lanes, adding sidewalks, and adding a roundabout.

COMPLEMENTARY PROGRAMS:

Describe any programs that complement the proposed capital improvements, including awareness, education efforts, increased enforcement, bicycle parking, etc. and who will be implementing them. In order to achieve points, programs must be included in the project Scope of Work, Schedule, and Budget.

• The City is currently completing a two-pronged bicycle parking infrastructure and public educational outreach initiative, funded through a 2013-14 SANDAG Bicycle Parking Facilities grant. This project scope nets an additional 62 Del Mar-branded bike racks and digital/print media that will complement the improved bicycle treatments proposed in the Pedestrian & Bicycle Facilities Along Camino del Mar, Jimmy Durante, and Via de la Valle project.

INNOVATION: Is this project an FHWA or State Experimentation Effort? Does this project propose any solutions that are new to the San Diego region?

• As defined in Section 9 (Innovation) of the Active Transportation Program Call for Projects, this project incorporates the following innovative solutions: buffered bike lanes, colored bike facilities, shared lane markings, traffic circles and roundabouts, and Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons.
