Chapter 1Introduction

Properly designed bus stops enhance the quality, safety, and utility of the transitservice. Public transit service plays an important role in Lake County, providing accessto jobs, education, social services, and tourist attractions. The provision of public transithas improved the quality of life in the area by increasing mobility for tourists and localsalike, and by helping to alleviate traffic congestion. The Lake Transit Authority has seenmany improvements in recent years, including a new operations center, expandedroutes and services, and improvements to the transit vehicle fleet. A logical “next step”in the development of the transit system is improvements to the transit passengerfacilities. This study was conducted by LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc., undercontract to the Lake County/City Area Planning Council.

Passenger facilities are important in both urban and rural areas for a number ofreasons:

• They are a key element in the overall experience provided to the transit passengers,as they are used by all fixed-route passengers as part of every trip. Properlydesigned bus stops can provide a comfortable, safe, and pleasant place to wait forthe bus, while improperly designed stops can result in a perception of insecurity,unnecessary exposure to the elements, and an overall unpleasant experience thatcan dissuade potential passengers from using a transit service.

• They are a vital part of a transit program’s public image. As something that isalways part of the surrounding neighborhood, attractive and well-maintained busstops and other passenger facilities can provide a positive image that can helpgenerate public support of the overall transit program.

• They are integral parts of the surrounding communities. Properly designed bus stopscan provide an attractive element to the streetscape, while minimizing the impactsof transit passengers on adjacent properties and avoiding undue impact on trafficoperations.

Passenger facilities are particularly important in a transit service’s ability to attract“discretionary” riders, who have the option of the comfort and convenience of a privateautomobile. Good accessible design also encourages use of the transit system bypassengers with disabilities, seniors, or others traveling with luggage, baby strollers, orbicycles.

The purpose of this report is two-fold. First, the study report provides transitimprovement standards appropriate to the specific conditions of the LTA service area.These standards are intended to guide government agencies, commercial andresidential developers, employers, and others in their efforts to provide attractive and


safe transit facilities for the County’s transit patrons. The report is not intended tosupersede the authority of the local jurisdictions, but rather to offer criteria,complementary to existing standards, for the design facilities that can support theoverall transit program. It is important for individual jurisdictions and business leadersthroughout Lake County to consider how best to incorporate land uses and roadnetworks that support public transportation, while providing transportationinfrastructure that supports overall community goals.

Secondly, this document presents a recommended program of transit passengerfacilities improvements. This program was based upon an extensive inventory ofexisting stops throughout Lake County, a review of existing traffic conditions, thepertinent elements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the ConsultingTeam’s findings regarding the most effective overall strategy for improving the qualityof service provided to LTA’s passengers.


Chapter 2Transit Passenger Facility Design Standards

This chapter presents recommended design standards for transit passenger facilities inLake County. First, general criteria for all types of facilities are provided, including therequirements associated with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This is followedby recommended standards for specific types of facilities.

GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES

In order for a bus stop to be appropriately usable, the design must incorporate variouselements that relate to safety and accessibility. The recommended design provides anunimpeded pathway from the building or sidewalk being served by the transit stop andthe transit vehicle. This entails positioning street furniture, landscaping, and otherobstacles from protruding into the path of travel. Grade-level changes in sidewalks andplatforms should also be avoided. Flat, stable surfaces and seating adjacent to pathwayroutes are also important. The path of travel from the designated waiting area to thevehicle must have a simple and consistent layout. The design should include unbrokentravel paths from the sidewalk to the bus boarding platform as well as adequateillumination where necessary.

In rural areas like Lake County, it is not uncommon for bus stops to be located alongpaved roads with open ditches along the sides to channel storm water. Pedestrianswalking to and from bus stops are often required to travel on the shoulder of the road.In these areas, transit riders also must board and deboard buses without the benefit ofa curb to lift them closer to the first step of the bus, and transit passengers have to geton and off a bus on a gravel or dirt surface. This boarding and unloading situation canbe difficult for individuals such as the elderly or those who use wheelchairs, and shouldbe addressed by municipalities in those areas where the replacement of ditches will bea long-term project.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

A key consideration of design for any public facility is the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) of 1990.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a major civil rights law prohibitingdiscrimination on the basis of disability and covers topics such as employment,transportation, and services provided by public entities. Under the ADA, responsibilityfor developing design requirements for the construction or alteration of facilities isassigned to the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, morecommonly known as the Access Board, which is an independent Federal agency. Thesecover both facilities in the private sector (places of public accommodation andcommercial facilities) and the public sector (state and local government facilities). In1991, ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) were published to serve as the basis for


standards used to enforce the law and were periodically updated after adoption by theDepartment of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Transportation (DOT), which areresponsible for actual enforcement. In 2004, the Access Board issued updatedaccessibility guidelines for new or altered facilities. These new guidelines overhaul theoriginal ADAAG, although more in format than substance when applied totransportation facilities (which include bus stops), but have not yet been adopted byeither DOJ or the DOT, and are therefore not enforceable as of this writing. (NOTE: TheDOJ rules are not expected to be issued in final form for a year or two, although theDOT implementing regulations may be published at almost any time from now. It isexpected that the DOT rules will go into effect 30 days after publication in the FederalRegister.)

The guidelines also have implications under the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of1968. The ABA requires access to facilities designed, built, altered, or leased withFederal funds. The U.S. Access Board has updated its guidelines for ABA facilities jointlywith the new ADA guidelines so that a consistent level of access is specified under bothlaws. In addition, the Access Board is currently reviewing new guidelines for PublicRights of Way (PROW), which are expected to eventually affect bus stop requirementsand access.

Existing Facilities

The ADA and ABA guidelines cover new construction and planned alterations andgenerally do not apply to existing facilities except where altered. Facilities built oraltered according to earlier versions of the ADA or ABA standards will not necessarilyhave to meet the updated version except where they are subsequently altered orrenovated. It is expected that the DOJ, which regulates requirements for existingfacilities under the ADA, intends to address coverage of facilities built or alteredaccording to the original ADA standards in its forthcoming rulemaking to update thestandards, although it is not yet known when a formal Notice of Proposed Rulemaking(NPRM) will be issued. Another unknown is the extent to which the NPRM and finalregulations will require retrofitting of existing facilities, such as the requirement forbarrier removal in places of public accommodation. With respect to ABA facilities, theBoard has clarified in the guidelines that facilities built to earlier ABA standards aresubject to the new requirements only in relation to planned alterations.

Properly located, adequately designed, and effectively enforced bus stops can improvepublic transportation service and expedite general traffic flow. Decisions regarding busstop areas and locations require careful analysis of passenger requirements and theinteraction of stopped buses with general traffic flow. It is imperative that the followingguidelines serve as general design principles to be interpreted and adapted to sitespecific situations in each jurisdiction. The recommendations presented in thesubsequent section incorporate concepts to improve passenger safety, comfort, andaccessibility as well as baseline ADA requirements.


TRANSIT FACILITY DESIGN

The following policy section reflects the LTA system goal of providing mobility for allcitizens, as stated in the Lake County Transit Development Plan. The transitimprovement design guidelines presented in this section are organized by the followingtopics:

• Bus stop area, bus landing pads, andaccessible paths

• Bus stop spacing• Bus stop placement• Bus pullouts• Signs

• Passenger amenities (shelters,benches, trash receptacles, lighting,bicycle parking)

• Park-and-ride/multimodal facilities • Turning radii

Bus Stop Area, Bus Landing Pads, and Accessible Paths

Figure 1 illustrates the recommended bus stop design for either a rural or urban area.As shown, the recommended design encompasses the baseline requirements of theAmericans with Disabilities Act and allows patrons to have direct access to the transitvehicle. In Lake County, however, sidewalks are not common, and it may not befeasible to have a concrete landing pad at each stop.

The recommended bus stop, as illustrated, provides an accessible and comfortablewaiting area for all transit users. Wheelchair users in particular require a stable, level,and unobstructed landing pad for the wheelchair lift or ramp to be deployed whenboarding and alighting the bus. With respect to the waiting area, wheelchair users alsorequire adequate spacing at the stop to wait, as well as adequate space to maneuverfrom the waiting area to the landing pad.

Anecdotal experience throughout the country shows that a curb of some sort is usuallynecessary in order for a wheelchair user to be able to easily get on or off a bus with aramp, even if the ramp is allegedly "ADA compliant." The lack of curbs in Lake County,however, limits the choices of buses that can be employed, and may limit the efficiencyof serving the disabled.

As virtually all transit passengers are also pedestrians on one or both ends of their trip,well-planned access ways that provide direct, safe, and attractive access to bus stopscan significantly encourage transit use.

Accessible path design should include the following:

• Access to and from bus stops should be as direct as possible.

• The site design process for new developments should strive to reduce the lengthand inconvenience of pedestrian accessways between destinations and transit stops.

1ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG).


• A sidewalk should be provided from the nearest intersection to the bus stop toprovide a minimum level of access, if possible. Of course, this is not feasible formany of the rural stops in Lake County.

Minimum ADA design implications for bus stop areas, bus landing pads, and accessiblepedestrian accessways include the following1:

• A minimum clear passage width of 48 inches is recommended by the Access Board’sguidelines for the public right-of-way. This is especially important next to a curbdrop-off.

• An accessible route from the public transportation stops to the route that isaccessible for both people with disabilities as well as for the general public.

• The running slope of the accessible pathway shall not be steeper than 1:20 whilethe cross slope shall not be steeper than 1:48 (2 percent).

• Parallel to the roadway, the slope of boarding and alighting area shall be the sameas the roadway (to the maximum extent practicable). The maximum slopeperpendicular to the roadway shall not exceed 1:48 (2 percent).

• The bus landing pad, when installed alone on a shoulder in a rural area, must beelevated 6 inches above road grade for safety and accessibility purposes.

• Stable, firm, and slip-resistant ground and floor surfaces.

• Grating spaces, or drainage grates, which are necessary for water drainage, shouldbe no greater than 9½ inches long in one direction. Spaces longer than this wouldimpede the use of a wheelchair.

Obstacles

All paths from the bus stop to major destinations should be examined for obstacles thatmay interfere with access to or from the stop. Obstacles that protrude into the accesspath might restrict wheelchair movements. Obstacles that are higher than 27 inchesmay cause problems for a person with a vision impairment, who may not be able todetect an obstacle with a cane. Despite their training, it may be possible that a guidedog or other service animal may lead a person with vision impairment off of the path inorder to get around the obstacle. Even though it may not be generally considered theresponsibility of the transit agency to address accessibility problems along the entireaccess path, the agency staff should keep in mind that an obstacle may make a pathinaccessible for potential patrons who have disabilities.

2 Lake County Transit Development Plan, June 2004.


Bus Stop Spacing

Bus stop spacing should depend on ridership. Ridership, in turn, is typically affected bydevelopment type, such as residential, commercial, or Central Business District. It isrecommended that the range of spacing between each stop of Lake County be between660 to 880 feet on all routes in developed areas2. This measurement is a guideline only,and other factors should be considered when planning the actual location of bus stops,including the availability of pedestrian access and the location of major trip generators. Bus stops shall be placed close to subdivision access points and within one block ofactivity centers such as shopping centers, schools, health care facilities, social serviceoffices, apartment complexes, and mobile home parks.

Studies have shown that transit use begins to drop off when potential users have towalk more than 1,000 feet. A survey from the Lake County Transit Development Plan(2004) found that a majority (55 percent) of users who walked to the bus walked 0-2blocks while 76 percent walked 0-4 blocks. It has also been found that too many stopscan impede performance of the transit system by making it unnecessarily slow.

Bus Stop Placement (Far-Side, Near-Side, and Mid-Block Stops)

For the purpose of this report, the bus stop placement design guidelines have beenbased upon the design standards presented in the Lake County Transit DevelopmentPlan from June, 2004. Most of the recommended bus stop improvements are withineither the jurisdictions of Clearlake or Lakeport, however, any new or improved busstop facility that is to take place along a County maintained road would be obligated toreview the County design standards as well.

Bus stops can be located far-side, near-side, or mid-block, as shown in the diagramsbelow.

Far-Side Bus Stops are recommended at intersections where sight distance or signalcapacity problems exist, where parking conditions are critical, where right or leftturns by general traffic are heavy, and where buses make left turns. In general, transitagencies and traffic engineers prefer to standardize on far-side stops unless conditionsindicate that near-side or mid-block is required because standardization benefits thevisually impaired. The recommended far-side bus stop is illustrated in Figure 2 below.

Near-Side Bus Stops shall be the preferred alternative where buses make rightturns, and shall also be an alternative at intersections where transit flows areheavy, but traffic and parking conditions are not critical. The recommended near-sidebus stop is illustrated in Figure 3 below.

Mid-Block Bus Stops shall be an alternative in strip commercial areas where theblock faces are longer, with multiple destinations served within the block, indowntown areas where multiple routes require long loading areas that mightextend an entire block, or where traffic, physical, or environmental conditionsprohibit near or far-side stops.3 The recommended mid-block bus stop is illustrated inFigure 4 below.


Figure 4Mid-Block StopSource: Lake County TDP

When choosing among near-side, far-side, and mid-block locations, the followingfactors should also be considered:

• Intersection geometry and impact on intersection operations.

• Potential need for future passenger amenities.

• Adjacent land use and activities.

• Bus signal priority (e.g., an extended green suggests far-side placement).

• Bus routing (e.g., does the bus turn at the intersection? Are there intersectingroutes?).

• Parking restrictions and requirements.

• Pedestrian access, including accessibility for persons with disabilities.

• Physical roadside constraints (e.g., trees, poles, driveways).

• Ridership potential.

• Presence of bus bypass lane.

• Traffic control devices.

Bus PulloutS

Bus stops may be designed with a pullout, which is a specially constructed area off thenormal roadway section provided for bus loading and unloading which allows the transitvehicle to board and alight passengers in an area outside the traveled way.

4The Oregon Department of Transportation, Design Guidelines for Public Transportation, Chapter12, 12-6.


Pullouts are appropriate where traffic conditions prohibit conventional on-facilityplacement of bus stops. Pullouts are also recommended in locations where it is likely tobe hazardous for a bus to stop in the travel lane and are provided primarily on high-volume and/or high-speed arterials. The decision to construct a bus turnout shouldinclude an evaluation of the impact on public transportation as well as private vehicleoperations. On the other hand, too many or poorly designed bus pullouts can actuallyimpede the performance of the transit system (and other vehicles) as buses may havegreater difficulty pulling out into traffic. As with most improvements, pullouts should becoordinated between transit staff and the local jurisdiction.

Typically, a bus pullout is necessary at locations where it may be hazardous to stop thebus in the travel lane and no shoulder or parking lane is available. This report definesthese areas in terms of Average Daily Traffic (ADT). Based on design guidelines in various rural areas throughout the country, roadways adjacent to bus stops with aspeed limit of 35 milers per hour (MPH) or higher and a peak-hour volume of 250 orhigher in the lane of travel warrant a bus turnout4. Assuming a typical traffic pattern inwhich 10 percent of daily traffic occurs in the peak hour and daily volumes are balancedbetween the two directions, this corresponds to an ADT of 5,000 for a two-laneroadway and 10,000 for a four-lane roadway.

Pullouts are also appropriate in the following circumstances:

• When the potential for conflicts between transit and passenger vehicles warrantsseparation of the two. For example, a bus stop located in a travel lane of asignalized intersection often requires a turnout to prevent the stopped bus fromcausing traffic to queue through the intersection.

• Under conditions with high or increasing bus or passenger volumes or on high speedroads.

For stops located at low-speed, low-volume roadways without unusually high passengeractivity, it is appropriate for transit buses to stop in the travel lane. This conditionapplies to many of the LTA stops located off of the state highways or urban arterialroadways. The recommended bus pullout is illustrated in Figure 5 below.

Signs

It is recommended that signs be posted at all bus stops. Signed stops are a keyelement in informing passengers where service is available. In addition, bus stop signsprovide a permanent “presence” on the street that substantially increases publicawareness of the transit program, among riders and non-riders alike.


Figure 5:Bus PulloutSource: Lake County TDP

The most common type of sign is a flag sign displaying route andpassenger information. The design of bus stop signs should bestandardized throughout the system so they are instantlyrecognizable. It is useful for signs to be double-sided (so they canbe read from both directions) and reflectorized (for easy nightreading). It is recommended that bright colors are used for easy busstop identification. Characters and background of signs should havea non-glare finish, however, with characters and symbols contrasting from theirbackground. Currently, all existing LTA signs are purple and white, which fade easily.Pictograms, such as the LTA design, should have a field height of 6 inches minimum,should contrast with their background, and should be separate from the othercharacters on the sign.

The design elements on the sign should include the LTA logo, the route numbers thatserve the stop, a phone number for transit information, and, optionally, the majordestination of the routes available at the stop.

The bus stop sign should, wherever possible, be placed even with where the operator istrained to stop the front door of the bus, to let patrons know where to stand. Signscloser to the curb should be positioned to face toward the sidewalk to prevent busmirrors from hitting the signs. Placement within an existing sidewalk of four feet or lesswidth should be avoided wherever possible. Signs can be located on existing poles,such as streetlights or other traffic information signs. Unprotected sign posts should beof the break-away type to minimize injuries and damage resulting from motor vehicleaccidents.

Metal poles at bus stops should be easily recognized, especially for persons with visualdisabilities. There are a few methods that can be used in order to distinguish a bus stoppole from other street poles commonly used by a public works department:

• Erect metal poles with a distinctive pattern and shape, such as a square or hollow-holed pole.


• Enhance existing poles with a band of distinctive adhesive at a minimum height offour feet. This marking should be brightly colored (ideally, the band would be thesame color as the transit system), waterproof, and should possess a distinctivetexture.

In light of budget constraints, it is recommended that LTA utilize the latter of the twooptions described above. It is also recommended that a community meeting(s) beconducted in order to determine which method is most effective for visually impairedlocal patrons. Braille markings may help some passengers, but many persons withvisual disabilities do not use Braille.

Minimum ADA design implications apply to the installation of new or replacement signsand include the following and are illustrated in Figure 6 below:

• The bottom of the sign should be at least 7 feet from the ground, and the signshould not be closer to the curb than 3 feet. In the areas where there are sidewalks,allow at least 36 inches of clear path on the sidewalk.

• Letters and numbers to be a width-to-height ratio between 3:5 and 1:1 and astroke-width-to-height ratio between 1:5 and 1:10.

• Characters and numbers sized according to the viewing distance from which theyare to be read.

• Minimum height is measured using an upper case X. Lower case characters arepermitted.

• Accompany pictograms with the equivalent verbal description placed directly below,with a border dimension of 6 inches (152 millimeters) minimum in height.

• Follow protruding objects requirements (described in the Accessible Path section).

Passenger Amenities

Passenger amenities are significant elements in attracting public transportation users.Shelters provide protection from the elements and benches add comfort; trashreceptacles, lighting, bicycle parking facilities, and other amenities add convenience andsafety. Table 1 presents the recommended standards with respect to the need forfurniture at a bus stop.

Note that these standards consider only boarding activity, as passengers alighting froma bus usually do not use the street furniture. Other considerations may include thepotential of a bench or shelter to attract additional riders based on surroundingactivities.



Figure 6:Bus Stop Sign Dimensions


Shelters

A bus shelter provides protection from the elements as well as seating. Typically, ashelter is constructed of clear side panels for visibility and safety. Standardized sheltersare available that accommodate various site demands and passenger volumes. ExistingLake LTA shelters are typically 9 feet by 5 feet and installed at stops with 10 or morepassenger boardings per day (based on prevailing standards). In a few locations, suchas transfer points, larger shelters or multiple shelters may be warranted.

Minimum ADA design implications apply to the installation of new or replacement busshelters and include the following:

• A minimum clear floor area of 30 inches by 48 inches, entirely within the perimeterof the shelter.

• Maintain shelter openings to be a minimum of 36 inches to allow a wheelchair topass through.

• Bus stop shelters should be connected by an accessible route to the bus stoplanding pad.

• Bus stop shelters should not be placed on the wheelchair landing pad.

• General ADA mobility clearance guidelines should be followed around the shelterand between the shelter and other street furniture.

In addition to the number of boardings per day, other factors that LTA may wish toconsider when evaluating the installation of a shelter include:

• Climate (wind, rain, heat, etc.), which may lead to recommendations regardingwhether or not to have side panels or the need for air circulation, heating, orcooling systems.

• Vandalism (broken or scribed glazings).

• The number of transfers at a stop.

• The availability of space to construct a shelter and waiting area.

TABLE 1: Transit Facility Furniture Needs for Rural AreasCondition Furniture

Less than 5 Passenger Boardings per Day None RecommendedBetween 5 and 9 Passenger Boardings per Day Bench10 or More Passenger Boardings per Day Shelter


• The number of elderly individuals or people with disabilities in the area.

• The proximity to major activity centers.

• The frequency of service.

• Adjacent land uses.

Benches

Current Lake Transit benches are either 6 feet or 8 feet, and should be installed atstops with five or more boardings per day. Minimum ADA design considerations applyto the installation of new or replacement benches and include the following:

• Clear floor or ground space for wheelchairs.

• 20 inches minimum to 24 inches maximum in “overall” depth for benches withbackrests.

• Seat height: 17 inches minimum to 19 inches maximum above the floor or ground.

• Back support: Extends from a point 2 inches maximum above the seat to a point 18inches minimum above the seat.

• Structure supporting vertical or horizontal forces of 250 pounds applied at anypoint on the seat, fastener, mounting device, or supporting structure.

• Exposed benches should be slip-resistant and designed to shed water.

Trash Receptacles

Litter at a bus stop is a negative image for the transit agency as well as the community.The installation of trash receptacles at bus stops can alleviate this problem. Not all busstops require trash receptacles; the decision to include a receptacle at a stop is typicallybased on boarding counts. If litter is a problem at a particular stop (due, perhaps, tothe presence of a fast-food outlet or a convenience store near the stop), a trashreceptacle should be installed regardless of boarding counts. Trash receptacles shouldonly be placed at those stops that the transit agency can reliably schedule for trashpickup.

In some instances, communities require maintenance of transit receptacles as acondition of nearby development. There is a mutually beneficial relationship betweenbusinesses and transit, and the need to work together with the community, particularlyfast-food restaurants, to service trash receptacles.


Lighting

The lighting at a bus stop affects the safety of patrons and the use of the stop bypatrons and non-patrons in the hours after sunset. A well-lit bus stop enhances thewaiting passengers’ comfort and security, while a dimly lit or unlit stop encourages non-patrons to loiter at the stop. It is recommended that from 2- to 5-foot-candles ofillumination be provided at all bus stops that will be in use after daylight hours. Lightingfixtures should be vandal-proof and easily maintained; the use of exposed bulbs andother elements that can be easily tampered with or destroyed should be avoided. Whenpossible, bus stops should be located near existing streetlights as this is a cost-effectivemethod of providing adequate lighting. Another option is the use of solar power toilluminate bus shelters. Typically, the power system mounts to a pole which makes itcompatible with any shelter and maximizes the solar energy harvest.

Bicycle Parking

It is appropriate to provide bicycle parking at some bus stops. The provision of bikeparking facilities discourages bicycle riders from locking their bikes to the bus stopstructures or to structures on adjacent properties, and reduces visual clutter by locatingbikes together in one area. Bicycle parking facilities should be located away from otheractivities, to reduce congestion and improve safety. At lighted stops, the bike parkingshould be located near the lighting to offer protection from theft. The bike parkingshould not restrict views into the bus stop area. It is recommended that racks for bikeparks be provided at bus stops where there is the potential for a high level of patronsaccess by bike, such as near educational facilities.

Park and Ride/Multimodal Facilities

Multimodal, or intermodal, centers are facilities designed to encourage the transferbetween travel modes. Multimodal centers for the purposes of this study are those thatfacilitate the transfer to buses of users of other modes of transportation. Typically,park-and-ride lots and transit transfer facilities meet this criterion. Amenities that should be provided at these facilities include one or more shelters and benches,adequate lighting, an auto drop-off area, bicycle parking, motorcycle parking, toiletkiosks, and appropriate landscaping.

Transit Vehicle Turning Radii

It is important that intersection turning radii allow turning movements by the largestexpected vehicle to be made in a safe manner, without damaging either the vehicle orthe curb. Inadequate curb radii can require vehicle travel paths to swing into additionaltravel lanes, creating potential safety problems, while excessive requirements canincrease pedestrian exposure to traffic, thereby increasing potential pedestrian safetyproblems.


Figure 7: Minimum 40' BusTurning Radii

Source: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

For LTA buses, a turning radius of 45.5 feet, measured from the outer front overhang,is recommended for a 35-foot bus as illustrated in Figure 7 below. The measurement isbased on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials designguidelines for 40-foot buses. The same radii has been determined for 35-foot buses,accounting for a small measure of error.

LAND USE DEVELOPMENT PLANS

Land use decisions play an important role in determining the viability of publictransportation and the feasibility of serving portions of the community. In recognition ofthis important relationship, local actions may be further addressed to encourage transituse in the community, which include coordination with the Lake County General Planand the Highway 20 Traffic Calming and Beautification Plan.

A key issue in Lake County is that many of the existing retail, commercial, and officefacilities have not allocated space for bus stops. As a part of the Lake County transitpassenger facility policy, it is proposed that existing and future retail, commercial,residential, and office facilities include bus stops as either part of their design or as aretrofit design where applicable. This policy should apply to those future and existingfacilities that generate the most frequent transit use and have the greatest interest inaccommodating bus stop facilities. Two existing facilities are the Safeway in Lakeporton 11th Street as well as the Kmart on South Main Street.


Transit Oriented Development (TOD)

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is the general planning concept of locating densemixed-use development around a transit station in an effort to create a pedestrian-friendly environment which encourages transit ridership. TODs may consist of acombination of retail uses, employment opportunities, and residential land uses within aquarter- or half-mile of a rail/bus station with progressively lower density uses

spreading outwards from the transit station. Elements of a Lake County TOD mayinclude the following:

• Encourage in-fill and redevelopment by designating underdeveloped or decliningneighborhoods for public investment.

• Promote mixed land-use in redevelopment areas.

• Specify in city or county ordinances a maximum setback for buildings fronting transitcorridors.

• Require in city or county ordinances that the front of the buildings be oriented tothe street to encourage walking and the use of public transportation.

• Provide incentives such as density bonuses or reduced parking requirements fordevelopers who design pedestrian-friendly projects.

• Incorporate pedestrian-friendly design guidelines in street design manuals for allnew developments.

Table 2 presents a summary of the LTA Bus Stop Facility Policy described in thischapter.


TABLE 2: LTA Bus Stop Facility Policy Summary

Chapter 3Transit Passenger Facilities Development Plan

The transit passenger facility plan for Lake County was developed based upon thefollowing:

• The design guidelines presented in the previous chapter.

• A comprehensive data collection effort (as described below).

• A review of current legal issues regarding transit facilities (as also described below).

This plan was developed for a total of 235 individual transit passenger facilities in LakeCounty3. Note that LTA also serves stops in Napa County and Mendocino County, whichwere not considered for this report because these stops are outside of Lake Countyjurisdiction.

DATA COLLECTION

In April 2006, LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. performed a comprehensive fieldevaluation of the 235 bus stops along all LTA routes throughout Lake County. For eachbus stop, the following information was collected:

• Determination of Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates (latitude andlongitude).

• The characteristics of stop, including the presence of a bus stop sign and thecondition of the sign, existing “street furniture” (bench and/or bus shelter).

• ADA compliance.

• Driver sight distance, for both transit drivers as well as for oncoming drivers.

• The presence of an adequate bus pullout area.

• Pedestrian access and crossing protection.

• Adjacent properties and neighboring land uses.

LTA staff also assisted in this field data collection, particularly with regards to theidentification of existing unsigned stops. Other data was collected for each stop throughthe following agencies:

• Traffic count data on roadways with transit stops (collected from Caltrans, LakeCounty, the City of Lakeport).


• The most recent available transit passenger boarding and alighting data by routeand stop on LTA services (collected from LTA contractor staff).

It is important to note that the traffic volume data, as well as the boarding andalighting data, was collected by various agencies previous to the initiation of thisproject. This data is the most current data available to date. The collected data wasentered into the ArcGIS Geographical Information System (GIS) program. A completedatabase of bus stop facilities by route can be found in Appendix A. It is worth notingthat the bus stops have been assigned new bus stop identification numbers as part ofthis study.

In addition, meetings were held between the Consultant Team, LTA staff, LC/CAPCstaff, Lake County, the City of Clearlake, and the City of Lakeport. As part of thesemeetings, specific issues with regards to transit stops were discussed in eachjurisdiction, along with the potential to coordinate transit stop improvements with otherroadway or development projects.

DESIGN IMMUNITY CONSIDERATIONS

The LTA Board should review new and modified bus stop locations and establishpolicies for “design immunity” as laid out in CA Government Code section 830.6. Inorder to establish design immunity, it is recommended that LTA formally adopt andfollow the following guidelines:

• The LTA Board should review and adopt the design/location standards for busfacilities prior to establishing or modifying a bus stop. (Reasonable design standardspresented in this report are largely based on the 2004 ADA Accessibility Guidelines(ADAAG) as well as the Transit Cooperative Research Program Report #19, Guidelines for the Location and Design of Bus Stops.)

• LTA staff should monitor bus stop incidents and maintain a record of all suchincidents. Annually review incidents to determine whether a facility’s design orlocation has become potentially hazardous.

• When changes in land use near transit stops change pedestrian access patterns,stop location should be reviewed within a reasonable amount of time to determine ifa potentially hazardous condition has been created, and document the findings.

• Gain legal counsel input on appropriate documentation for stop location and designdecisions.

• Coordinate transit standards and locations with other jurisdictions. Ideally, localjurisdiction’s plans would mirror the stop locations identified in LTA plans.


Please note that there is no legal means of ensuring that LTA liability regarding busstops is eliminated completely. With the steps identified above the risks to the transitorganization associated with liability for incidents at or near transit stops should beminimized.

RECOMMENDED TRANSIT PASSENGER FACILITIES PLAN

The following transit passenger facility plan was categorized by community area forunincorporated Lake County and “municipality” for Clearlake and Lakeport. A priorityimplementation list for each specific area was determined based on various factorsincluding the presence and condition of a bus stop sign, safety, traffic volumes on theadjacent roadway which determines the need for a safe bus pull-off area, and boardingand alighting counts at each stop. These factors were used to prioritize bus stop facilityimprovements. Figure 8 illustrates all of the existing LTA bus stop facilities in LakeCounty. Figure 9 illustrates the LTA System Map, which shows each route and the areaserved.

It is important to keep in mind that the following improvements are not intended to beat exact locations and can be relocated in order to fit other improvements. Each area inLake County has been analyzed in terms of the following facility improvementcategories:

• Signage

It is recommended that all LTA stops be designated with consistent signs andexisting deficient signs be replaced. It is recommended that all the bus stop signsare double-sided, brightly colored, and standardized throughout the system so theyare instantly recognizable. This improvement is recommended both for operationalreasons (to provide more consistent service that does not vary by driver), as well asmarketing reasons (to provide a better image of the transit system to bothpassengers and the general public). Overall, there are 82 bus stops in Lake Countythat require signage.

• Improve Accessibility

At this time, transit vehicles cannot safely load wheelchairs at 87 facilities(approximately 37 percent of all existing stops). Note that wheelchair accessibilitydoes not necessarily mean that the bus stop facility is currently “ADA compliant”according to the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). While all bus stop facilitiesshould accommodate wheelchairs, those stops which pose the greatest safetyand/or accessibility concerns should be considered first. One method used toaccomplish this goal is to install bus landing pads, as described below.

LTA SYSTEM MAP


• Bus Landing Pads

As mentioned, in a rural area like Lake County, it is not uncommon to have pavedroads with open ditches along the sides, and most roads do not have sidewalks. Inorder to accommodate rural transit users with disabilities, a bus landing pad is ofteninstalled on the shoulder to create an accessible bus stop. A total of 94 locationswarrant bus landing pads, for accessibility as well as to accommodate theinstallation of street furniture. The pad must follow regulations set forth in the policysection of this report.

• Provide Bus Pullouts

At this time, 140 (approximately 60 percent) of the existing bus stop facilities inLake County provide the opportunity for transit vehicles to pull out of the travel laneonto a safe pullout area. Bus pullouts for 28 additional bus stops have beenrecommended based on the factors described in the design guideline section of thisreport. These locations have been identified as those sites where (1) transit vehiclesmust stop at least partially in the travel lane to serve the stop, (2) travel speeds are35 mph or greater, (3) traffic volumes in the blocked lane equal 2,500 per day orgreater, and (4) passenger activity is high.

• Provide Street Furniture

Benches

Based on current needs and conditions, it is recommended that a bench (without ashelter) is installed at an additional 28 facilities. This list is based on the designguideline section of this report, which states that bus stop facilities with 5 to 9boardings per day warrant a bench. As ridership increases, more benches will berecommended.

Shelters

It is also recommended that shelters be installed at an additional 15 locations. Thecurrent shelter needs (6 shelters) are based on the design guideline section of thisreport, which states that bus stop facilities with 10 or more boardings per daywarrant a shelter, while the other 9 improvements are based on expected needs assuggested in the Highway 20 Traffic Calming and Beautification Plan.

• Crosswalks

Due to the fact that the standards for installing a crosswalk differ from onejurisdiction to the next, this report does not include a discussion of whether acrosswalk is warranted at a particular location or not. It is recommended that thejurisdictions consider the level of passenger activity (high activity, low activity, etc.)at each facility while developing their respective pedestrian facilities plans. Annualreports should be provided to each jurisdiction summarizing the level of passengeractivity at each stop as well as pedestrian/vehicle accidents, if possible.


Typical residential streets in Clearlake.

The following discussion provides a detailed account of recommended bus stopimprovements by area. A complete inventory of existing LTA bus stops andrecommended facility improvements, by area, is included in Appendix A.

CLEARLAKE

The City of Clearlake encompasses Route 5 and most of Route 6 as well as portions ofRoutes 1 and 4. Like much of Lake County, Clearlake faces the challenge of integratingtransit passenger facilities with the surrounding environment. The lack of right-of-wayand sidewalks, especially in the residential portion of Clearlake, makes this task evenmore difficult.

As mentioned in the policy section in Chapter 2, one of the key objectives of this reportis to ensure that all of the existing retail, commercial, and office facilities that generatethe most frequent transit ridership have space allocated for bus stops.

The LTA transit system might utilize such "unimproved" stops in residential areas byinstalling bus stop pads in order to create an accessible bus stop. The challenges forinstalling improvements include the acquisition of right-of-way as well as privateproperty.

The following is a description of the priority transit passenger facility improvements forthe City of Clearlake, as listed in Table 3.

Ray’s Food Place, Bus Stop ID# 11.01, Route 1W, Clearlake

Ray’s Food Place serves as a positive example of a commercial facility that hasdesignated a portion of its property for a bus stop facility. A shelter and designated busbay area are located at the north of the building and serves the entire commercialcenter, including McDonald’s and Wal-Mart. The use of this space benefits thebusinesses at this location as well as the patrons of these businesses who depend onpublic transportation. There is a need, however, for more seating and/or shelter, and

for landscape improvements to mitigate the damage that waiting passengers are doingto the area. This could include more paving, raised planter boxes, trees, shopping cartcorral, etc. The project should be done cooperatively with Ray's. Since they areproviding the space, LTA should provide improvement funding based on an agreementfor continuing use as a bus stop.

Highlands Medical Center (18th St), Bus Stop ID# 60.39, Route 6, Clearlake

The bus stop at the crest of 18th Street in Clearlake currently serves the HighlandsMedical Center offices. Due to the location, both the transit vehicle driver and oncomingdrivers have poor sight distance. It is recommended that the stop be relocated to theparking lot area adjacent to the medical office to ensure a safe boarding and alightingzone.

Additionally, Route 6 westbound does not serve the Redbud Hospital due to grade,curve, and congestion in the parking lot. It is recommended that LTA provide a note inthe schedule indicating that convenient service to the hospital is only provided by Route5, not Route 6. This is due to the fact that some passengers currently use this stop toaccess the Redbud Hospital, which is not recommended.

Burns Valley Mall/Safeway, Bus Stop ID#s 60.14, 60.17, and 60.18, Route 6, Clearlake

As mentioned, a key issue in Lake County is that many existing retail, commercial, andoffice facilities have not allocated space for bus stops. A critical existing concern at thistime is the lack of pullout space for “designated” stop ID# 60.18, which is located onOlympic Drive and serves Burns Valley Mall in the westbound direction. While there isno pullout space due to limited public right-of-way, it would be necessary to work withthe property manager at Burns Valley Mall in order to ensure adequate space for theinstallation of a pullout as well as a bus stop landing pad and shelter. Fortunately, atthis time, vehicles have the ability to avoid the bus by using the center turning lane onOlympic Drive.

There is also a lack of "designated" stops in close proximity to Safeway on Burns ValleyRoad, adjacent to the Burns Valley Mall. As a result, it is recommended that bus stopID#’s 60.14 and 60.17, which have been ad hoc stops up to this point serving theSafeway in both the north and southbound directions, become officially designated busstops. At this time, passengers waiting for the bus on either side of Burns Valley Roaddo not have a designated waiting area, nor is there an existing sign to indicate an LTAbus stop location. It is also not possible to load a wheelchair on the west side, and it isdifficult for the bus to pull completely out of the lane of travel.


It is recommended that an ADA compliant bus stop and shelter should be constructedadjacent to Burns Valley Road and the Safeway parking lot that would serve Route 6 inthe southbound direction (Bus Stop ID# 60.17). While a portion of the shelter wouldutilize public ROW, additional private property acquisition could be necessary.

Additionally, a bench is recommended on the east side of Burns Valley Road at thecorner of Burns Valley Road and Olympic Drive in order to serve patrons traveling north(Bus Stop ID# 60.14). Figure 10 illustrates these two proposed site improvements.

Signage

As described in Tables 3 and 4, 38 LTA bus stop facilities in the city of Clearlake requiresignage (approximately 47 percent of the system total). In a few instances the sign orpole may need to be repaired. Figure 11 illustrates bus stop facilities in Clearlake withand without existing signage.

Improve Accessibility

As shown in Tables 3 and 5, 42 bus stops in Clearlake require improved ADAaccessibility. These locations are illustrated in Figure 12.

Provide Bus Pullouts

As shown in Tables 3 and 6, 15 bus stops in Clearlake require a bus pullout. Theselocations are illustrated in Figure 13. These locations are not intended to be exact andcan be relocated to fit other intersection improvements. It is important to note that allrecommended bus pullouts are located on either Old Hwy 53 or Olympic Drive.

Provide Street Furniture

Tables 3 and 7 show the 18 bus stop facilities that warrant a bench (without a shelter)and the 3 facilities in Clearlake that warrant a shelter. Facilities with proposed sheltersand benches are illustrated in Figure 14.

Bus Landing Pads

It is also recommended that an elevated bus landing pad is installed at 45 stopsthroughout the Clearlake area, as shown in Tables 3 and 8. These pads will provideaccess at stops that lack an accessible path, which is common along residential roads inClearlake.

Additional Key Stop Modifications

Note: Several stop numbers for multiple routes may exist at each location.

It is recommended that the following Clearlake stops are eliminated:

• 11.02 and 50.12 (at Lakeshore and Manzanita) – Remove stop due to potentiallyhazardous pulloff before curve in roadway.

• 40.02, 41.18, 50.49, and 60.02 (South Yuba College Access) – Remove stop,adjacent to Yuba College stop.

• 50.28 (Bush & 5th) – Remove stop due to poor sight distance.

It is recommended that the following Clearlake stops are relocated:

• 10.48 & 60.22 (Lakeshore and Baylis) – Move stop to parking lot area of Austin Parkfor safer wheelchair deployment.

• 50.09 (Phillips and 40th) – Install bench, move stop across 40th adjacent toKool-n-Cash.

• 50.24 (Arrowhead and Toyon) – Relocate stop 100 feet to the east at base of hill forwheelchair deployment.

• 50.29 (Bush and 8th) – Relocate stop to empty lot 100 feet east of existing stop.

• 60.10 (Old Hwy 53 at Mendo Mill) – Relocate to abandoned “Unlimited Marine”property.

• 60.19 & 10.45 (Olympic and Maple – Clearlake Post Office) - Move stop betweenpost office driveways, work with Clearlake post office to improve pull off area.

• 60.20 & 10.46 (Olympic and Locust) – Relocate site 100 feet to the front of "Lisa's."

Yuba College Parking Lot, Bus Stop ID#s 40.03, 41.19, 50.50, 60.03, Routes 4, 5, and6 Clearlake

The current location of the bus stop facility at Yuba College, which serves the collegeand the neighboring middle school, is not at an optimal location in terms of passengerboarding and alighting. Specifically, the bus blocks a travel lane, blocks several parkingspaces, and drops passengers in the middle of a parking aisle. It is proposed that theshelter be relocated to the west of its present location to the northwest corner of thelot, adjacent to the maintenance garage facility. It is also recommended that anaccessible path from the new shelter location to the various administrative andclassroom buildings should be constructed. This new location is more appropriate forthe loading and unloading of passengers because, unlike the present location, it willallow the transit vehicle to board and alight passengers on the correct side of thevehicle. The new site would also be located in a safer location on the side of theparking lot rather than in the center where there is more traffic congestion. Figure 15illustrates this improvement at Yuba College.

LAKEPORT

The City of Lakeport encompasses portions of Routes 1, 4, 4a, and 7. Like Clearlake,Lakeport faces the challenge of integrating transit passenger facilities with thesurrounding “built” environment. As mentioned, one of the goals of this project is toensure that existing and future retail, commercial, residential, and office facilities thatgenerate the most frequent transit ridership have allocated space for bus stops. Withthis in mind, existing facilities are encouraged to work with LTA in order to retrofit newbus stop facilities adjacent to or on existing property.

The following is a description of the priority transit passenger facility improvements forthe city of Lakeport, as listed in Table 9.

Willow Tree Plaza/Safeway, Bus Stop ID#s 11.60 and 41.24, Routes 4, 4a, and 1W,Lakeport

Both bus stops adjacent to the Willow Tree Plaza and the Safeway market on 11thStreet in Lakeport create a potential traffic safety hazard. Stop 11.60 serves theshopping center in the westbound direction and 41.24 serves the area in the eastbounddirection. There is no safe pull-out location in the westbound lane along 11th Street.The eastbound bus currently stops in the turn lane at the entrance of the Safeway,where it blocks or conflicts with turning movements. In order to resolve this safetyissue, it is recommended that a new on-site stop should be constructed to serve busestraveling in both directions.

LSC has developed two options that could potentially resolve the issue. The first optionis for the bus to enter the parking lot via the drive that runs along the front of theSafeway, turn right into the first lot, load and unload passengers at a proposed newshelter adjacent to the Safeway lot, and exit the lot on the west side. This option isrecommended by LSC because the majority of the passenger activity occurs at this endof the plaza. Figure 16 illustrates this option. Passengers can access the shelter throughthe parking lot, in which case a crosswalk will be necessary from the Safeway to thebus stop. Ideally, the existing lot would be converted into a one-way throughway,potentially requiring four or five existing parking spaces adjacent to the roadway to beremoved as a result of construction of the new facility.

The second option would be to utilize the parking lot on the east end of the strip.Under this scenario, the bus would enter the parking lot on the west side of the plaza inorder to utilize the through lane adjacent to the Redwood Coast Regional Center. Thiswould allow passengers to load and unload in an uncongested area of Willow TreePlaza. It is recommended that LTA work with the property owner to determine theplacement of the new facility. This option, however, would require passengers to walk alittle over one-quarter of a mile to access the bus from the Safeway market. Figure 17illustrates this option.

While this design contradicts the prevailing standard that transit vehicles should avoidparking lots, the proposed new stop serves as a safe and accessible solution at thistime. A third option, however, would be to consider on-street alternatives. This optionis limited along 11th Street because of the lack of pubic right-of-way. LTA would needto work with individual land owners to ensure adequate space along 11th Street for asafe and accessible bus stop.

Third and Main Street, Bus Stop ID# 10.02, 11.63, 70.01, Routes 1 & 7, Lakeport

The existing bus stop location at Third Street and Main Street in Lakeport currentlyunloads passengers on a steep grade. As a result, passengers using a wheelchair donot have access to a flat and stable surface when boarding and alighting at thislocation. It is recommended that the stop location should be relocated to the facilitythat exists in front of the courthouse on the corner of Main Street and Third Street.

Main Street and Third, Bus Stop ID# 10.01 and 41.26, Routes 1 and 7, Lakeport

It is recommended that the existing bus stop location at Third and Main Street shouldbe relocated to the facility that exists in front of the Court House on the corner of MainStreet and Third Street. As a result, the existing bus stop facility in front of theCourthouse will need to accommodate more demand. It is recommended that a largerdesignated passenger waiting area is implemented. It is also recommended that the redcurb zone is extended to the south by a approximately 100 feet in order to allow thebus to safely merge into traffic.

Kmart - South Main Street, Bus Stop ID# 41.02, Routes 4/4a, Lakeport

The existing bus stop location for the Kmart on South Main Street in Lakeport requiresthe bus to pull out in the taper for a right-turn lane. The property includes Kmart,Social Security, and Kragen Auto. A major issue is the lack of adequate northbound busstops to access this site. There is no right-of-way, it is a busy street, and there are nocontrolled crossings.

An on-site bus stop facility has been requested bySocial Security, and a likely location is the sidewalkin front of Kragen Auto. It is recommended that apullout be constructed and a bench be installed atthis stop location. In recent years, coordinationwith this property has not been successful. Furthereffort between property management and LTAstaff is recommended to secure the spacenecessary for a proper transit facility. This effortcould be facilitated by the implementation of theproposed land use policy described earlier in thisreport.

Main and Third, Lakeport

Kmart, South Main Street Lakeport Routes 4/4a


Table 10 summarizes the transit facility improvements for the City of Lakeport.

Signage

As shown in Tables 9 and 10, only 3 LTA bus stop facilities in the City of Lakeportrequire signage. Figure 18 illustrates bus stop facilities in Lakeport with and withoutexisting signage.


As shown in Tables 9 and 10, 13 bus stops in Lakeport require improved ADAaccessibility. These locations are illustrated in Figure 19.


As shown in Tables 9 and 10, 3 bus stops in Lakeport require a bus pullout. Theselocations are illustrated in Figure 20.


Tables 9 and 10 also show that only 1 bus stop facility warrants a bench and 1 bus stopfacility warrants a shelter. Existing and proposed facilities that require a shelter and abench are also illustrated in Figure 20.

Bus Landing Pads

It is also recommended that an elevated bus landing pad is installed at 9 stopsthroughout the City of Lakeport, as shown in Tables 9 and 10, providing access at stopsthat lack an accessible path.

Additional Stop Modifications


It is recommended that the following Lakeport stops are eliminated:

• 11.56 (Lakeshore and Sayre) – Remove stop due to minimal ridership - bus cannotpull out of lane.

• 11.58 (Lakeshore and 15th) – Remove stop, too close to previous stop.

It is recommended that the following Lakeport stops are relocated:

• 11.57 (Lakeshore and Via del Lago) – Temporarily relocate stop to abandoned gasstation property for safety reasons. Currently, the site is undergoing monitoring dueto a leaking underground storage tank. If a permanent site is desired here,coordination with the property owners would be necessary.

UNINCORPORATED LAKE COUNTY

For the purposes of this study, unincorporated Lake County transit facilities have beenexamined in terms of geographic area.

MIDDLETOWN, HIDDEN VALLEY, COBB, AND LOWER LAKE

This area encompasses the southern portion of Lake County and is served by portionsof Routes 2, 3, 4, and 6. The following is a description of the priority transit passengerfacility improvements for the communities comprised by this area, as listed in Table 11.

Anderson Springs Road and SR 175, Bus Stop ID# 20.09, Route 2S, Anderson Springs

According to LTA staff, in order to serve passengerstraveling southbound on Route 2, the transit vehiclecurrently makes a right-hand turn onto AndersonSprings Road followed by an immediate U-turnbefore parking on the opposite side of the road.Sight distance is poor for both the driver of thetransit vehicle and oncoming traffic due to a hill. Inorder to reduce the potential for accidents, it isrecommended that the stop is permanently relocatedroughly 100 feet to the south of the AndersonSprings Road turnoff to an existing large gravelpullout area along SR 175. The location change willrequire patrons to walk a short distance in order to board and alight the vehicle. It isalso recommended that a sign should be installed at the new location.

Middletown Senior Center, Bus Stop ID# 30.09, Route 3S, Middletown

While the Middletown Senior Centercurrently has a signed bus stop on Route 3,it lacks an accessible path and bus stop padthat meet ADA requirements. It isrecommended that a bench should beinstalled and an accessible path from theentrance of the senior center to the stopshould be constructed, along with an ADAcompliant bus stop pad.

HIGHWAY 20 CORRIDOR

Most of the communities in this area are along the State Highway 20 corridor. Route 1serves this area in both the east and west directions. According to the RegionalTransportation Plan, through traffic is to be redirected to the south of Clearlake alongHighways 29 and 53. The Lake County Redevelopment Agency and the Area PlanningCouncil (APC) have developed a Traffic Calming Plan for the communities of Nice,Lucerne, and Clearlake Oaks entitled, The Highway 20 Traffic Calming andBeautification Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide these three communities withconceptual improvements along the Highway 20 corridor. This Transit PassengerFacilities Development Plan includes recommendations that coordinate with some of thesuggestions made in the Highway 20 Traffic Calming and Beautification Plan.

The following is a description of the priority transit passenger facility improvements forthe Highway 20 corridor, as shown in Table 13. The facility improvementrecommendations presented in this section are based on alternatives presented in TheHighway 20 Traffic Calming and Beautification Plan. It is important to keep in mind thatthe alternatives devised in the Calming Plan are conceptual.

Figure 23 below illustrates the preferred alternative from the Calming Plan. As shown,this illustration shows a number of potential improvements in Lucerne, including newbus shelters. LTA can be proactive in facilitating these improvements by constructingthe initial pieces of a facility, installing sections of sidewalk, etc. The use of temporarybarriers, such as safety cones, or other fixes can be utilized until the remainder of theplanned projects are built out.

Clearlake Oaks

Keys Blvd., Bus Stop ID# 11.18, Route 1, Clearlake Oaks

• Implement 1 new bus shelter and bus landing pad on the north side of Highway 20at Keys Boulevard west of the shopping center driveway.

East Lake Elementary School, Bus Sto ID# 10.39 and 11.19, Route 1, Clearlake Oaks

• Implement 2 new bus shelters and bus landing pads in the vicinity of East LakeElementary School on both the north and south sides of Highway 20.

Lake St., Bus Stop ID# 10.38 and 11.20, Route 1, Clearlake Oaks

• Implement 2 new bus shelters and bus landing pads at Lake Street to accommodateboth eastbound and westbound passengers.

Tower Mart, Bus Stop ID# 10.36, Route 1, Clearlake Oaks

• Implement 1 new bus shelter and bus landing pad at the Tower Mart.

Lucerne

Currently, Route 1 follows Country Club Road eastbound through Lucerne. In order tobe in conjunction with the improved streetscape elements presented in the CalmingPlan, it is recommended that Route 1 eastbound is relocated to Highway 20. As theelements of the Calming Plan may not be fully implemented for a few years, therelocation of Route 1 should not occur until the alternatives are finalized and theimprovements are constructed. The precise location of each bus stop will thereby bedetermined upon completion of the Calming Plan elements and will correlate with boththe crosswalk locations as well as the bus stops located on the north side of Highway20, which serve Route 1 in the westbound direction. Table 13 reflects the additionalstops recommended along Highway 20 in the eastbound direction. For the purpose ofcalculating improvement costs, it has been estimated that an additional 6 to 8 bus stoplocations will require the installation of a bus shelter, a bus pad, and a bus stop sign inadherence with the ADA guidelines. It is important to account for the fact that theCalming Plan was completed prior to this analysis and is still at the conceptual stage.

At Lucerne Elementary Looking East


Nice

Sentry Market, Bus Stop ID# 11.39, Route 1W, Nice

The current bus stop location is on the north (far)side of the Sentry Market and serves westboundpassengers. This requires passengers to cross SR 20at a relatively high-traffic location, without a signalor other crossing protection. Recent, long-termcounts of passenger activity at this stop were notavailable for this study. It is important to note thatthis stop is not unsafe in terms of accident history. The proposed improvement would enhance theviability of the stop by allowing passengers to feelmore secure at an alternative stop location.

One option would be to route the westbound bus onto the south side of SR 20, such asthrough the Sentry parking lot. This has the disadvantages, however, of adding to thetravel time of the route (particularly regarding making the left-turn movement backonto SR 20, as well as the safety issues associated with bus movements in the parkinglot), and would not be warranted if ridership at this stop is low. LSC recommends thatLTA staff collect passenger activity data at this stop.

Hudson Avenue, Bus Stop ID# 11.36, Route 1, Nice

• Implement 1 new bus shelter and bus stop pad at the intersection of HudsonAvenue and Highway 20.

The above images from Clearlake Oaks, Lucerne, and Nice were taken directly from TheHighway 20 Traffic Calming and Beautification Plan. These images have beenreproduced with the permission from the Consultant, RRM Design Group. For detailsregarding the specific enhancement alternatives planned for these communities, pleaserefer to the Calming Plan.

Signage

As described in Tables 13 and 14, 26 LTA bus stop facilities in this area either presentlyrequire signage or will require signage in the future as new stops are created. Figure 24illustrates bus stop facilities in this area with and without existing signage.


As shown in Tables 13 and 14, 11 bus stops in this area require improved ADAaccessibility. These locations are illustrated in Figure 25.

PASSENGER FACILITY IMPROVEMENT CAPITAL PLAN

According to LTA Staff, $45,000 in capital improvements has been allocated for LTAtransit facility capital improvements for Fiscal Year 2006-07. Cost estimates for thepassenger facility development plan have been developed based upon the following“unit costs”:

• The cost of modern, off-the-shelf glass and extrude aluminum shelters averageapproximately $8,500 for most areas (including installation).

• Appropriate transit benches range from $550 for a vinyl-clad “stretched” steel benchto $1,500 for ornate iron and wood benches.

• The cost to add or replace bus stop signs can vary. Signs must be in compliancewith 2004 ADAAG Guidelines as described in the “Design Standards” section. Costdepends upon materials, quantity, and conditions at each location. Range is $150 to$200 per sign to replace the panel. The range is typically $500-$600 per sign toinstall a post and a panel.

• The cost of constructing a bus stop pad and an accessible pathway can vary. Insome cases, it will be necessary only to install a bus stop pad or “passenger waitingpad” for wheelchair boarding and landing, which is estimated to cost approximately$5,000. For a few locations, it will be necessary to construct an accessible pathwayfrom the bus stop waiting area to an adjoining pedestrian walk. Given that thesurface area will vary by project, the actual cost to construct an accessible pathwaywill have to be assessed during the design stage of each specific improvement. Aworking estimate for the construction of a 4-foot sidewalk with curb and gutterwould cost approximately $48.00 per lineal foot.

• The cost of a pullout can vary greatly based upon existing site conditions, such asthe presence of curb and gutter, the presence of power poles and other utilities, theneed to make changes in drainage, and the availability of existing graded shoulder.For some sites identified in this study, simple asphaltic paving of the existingshoulder would probably be sufficient, though other sites would require extensivesite work. While specific designs and associated costs would require site-specific civilengineering, a reasonable average cost estimate is $20,000.

Note that all of these costs assume that all improvements can be accomplished withoutland acquisition costs, either through use of existing public right-or-way or other publicland, or through approval of a private land owner.

Table 19 presents a summary of overall project costs by area, based upon these unitcosts and the total number of locations for each type of recommended improvement.The following list presents a total project cost by area:

• Clearlake - $770,375

• Lakeport - $238,375

• Middletown, Hidden Valley, Cobb and Lower Lake - $98,188

• Highway 20 Corridor - $508,500

• North Lakeport Area - $59,000

• Kelseyville/Soda Bay Road - $61,063

• Total LTA System - $1,735,500

While all considerations discussed in this plan are important, it is recommended thataddressing the immediate safety improvements and providing consistent signage ateach stop should be of the highest priority.

PASSENGER FACILITY IMPROVEMENT POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES

FTA Section 5310 – Elderly and Persons with Disabilities Program

FTA Section 5310 funds are distributed to the states by the federal government toprovide transit capital grants to non-profit agencies that provide transportation servicesto the elderly or persons with disabilities. Until recently, recipients of Section 5310funding were restricted to non-profit organizations; with passage of the IntermodalSurface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and subsequent Transportation Equity Actof the 21st Century (TEA-21), however, local governmental jurisdictions are also eligiblefor funding.

FTA Section 5311 – Non-urbanized Formula Program

Section 5311 remains the core program for rural public transportation under SAFETEA-LU. A substantial increase in funding allocations are identified over the next five years. Section 5311 funds are distributed to the regions on non-urbanized area formula. Thesefunds are used for transit capital and operating purposes in non-urbanized areas.

FTA Section 5317 – New Freedom Program

This new program under SAFETEA-LU provides formula funding for expanded publictransportation services beyond those required by ADA for persons with disabilities. It isapportioned to the individual states based upon the disabled population, and only 20percent is available to non-urbanized areas.

FTA proposes that New Freedom funds may be used to improve accessibility at existingtransportation facilities, so long as the projects are clearly intended to remove barriers


to existing stations that would otherwise have remained, and are not projects that arepart of an already planned station renovation or alteration.

FTA had originally planned to allow projects that are either “new” or “beyond the ADA,”grouping them as two separate categories. As of June 2006, however, Congressionalstaff informed APTA that they want FTA to be somewhat more restrictive and to only

fund projects that are both “new” and “beyond the ADA.” Lake County is within the "Governor's Apportionment" for New Freedom funds, which is $692,909 statewide forFY 2006.

Caltrans application forms and procedures are available from:http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/MassTrans/transitprograms.htm

Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)

The CDBG program is a flexible program that provides communities with resources toaddress a wide range of unique community development needs. Beginning in 1974, theCDBG program is one of the longest continuously run programs at the U.S. Departmentof Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program provides annual grantson a formula basis to 1180 general units of local government and states.

Advertising

Many public transit systems nationwide generate a substantial level of transit fundingthrough exterior bus advertising programs. Some systems lease space in fixed racks onthe sides and rear of the vehicles, while others allow full-bus “wraps” using a plasticfilm technology. A disadvantage of this option is that some may find the vehiclesunattractive, and the “image” of the public transit program may suffer. Issues havearisen in some areas over which advertisers are appropriate on a public transit vehicle(such as alcohol or tobacco ads). There is also a small level of staff time needed toadminister the program. On the other hand, the amount of potential revenue – thatwould be completely flexible in how it is spent – could be significant. Annual incomefrom this source would depend on the number of buses involved in the program.

LTA INTERACTIVE PASSENGER FACILITY LOCATION WEBSITE

In addition to maintaining the content of the transit facility database, an additionaleffort is highly recommended in order to allow various public agencies as well as thegeneral public to have access to this information. As a result of the data collectioneffort, a comprehensive transit facility database has been created and is compatiblewith spatial, geographic data. The information can be made available throughinteraction between the database and a GIS ArcIMS system.

ArcIMS is the solution for delivering dynamic maps and GIS data and services via theWeb. It provides a highly scalable framework for GIS Web publishing that meets the


needs of corporations and public agencies alike and demands of worldwide Internetaccess. ArcIMS services can be used by a wide range of clients including custom Webapplications, the ArcGIS Desktop, and mobile and wireless devices. Using ArcIMS, cityand local governments, businesses, and other organizations worldwide publish,discover, and share geospatial information.

With this application, LTA will have the ability to:

• Share transit facility information and site locations with other agencies and thegeneral public.

• Deliver dynamic maps and data via the Web.

• Create easy-to-use applications that utilize geographic content.

• Develop custom applications using industry-standard Web developmentenvironments.

The benefit of such a product will provide a great service for the residents of LakeCounty and, in the long-term, will save time and money for all implicated agencies.

One option for implementation of this application is for LTA to purchase and operateArcIMS independently of Lake County. According to Lake County GIS Staff, it is highlyunlikely that the IT department at the County would be able to host an LTA ArcIMSapplication on the County site due to the fact that LTA is a joint powers agencybetween the two cities (Clearlake and Lakeport) and the county. If LTA were to decideto purchase ArcIMS independently, the cost for a standard application package isapproximately $10,000. It is recommended that a consultant is contracted to implementthe program.

In the case, however, that the County were able to host an LTA ArcIMS application,LTA would be billed at the standard rate for any work done, including site development,testing, maintenance, as well as a charge for the bandwidth and a cost-sharing plan forthe use of the County’s ArcIMS software.
