solicit bids for the N. Palm Canyon Drive at Stevens Road and Via Las Palmas
Crosswalk Installations, City Project No. 16-13.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City retained Albert A. Webb & Associates, (Webb), to prepare a traffic analysis for
the N. Palm Canyon Drive corridor between Tachevah Drive and Vista Chino to
determine whether warrants for traffic signals or marked pedestrian crosswalks at the
following non-signalized intersections are satisfied:
• Vereda Sur
• Via Las Palmas
• Vereda Norte
• Camino Monte Vista
• Stevens Road
ITEM NO.��__

The traffic analysis submitted determined none of the five intersections above met traffic
signal warrants due to the low traffic volumes on the side streets. However, the
pedestrian crosswalk evaluation within the traffic analysis identified two new protected
pedestrian crosswalk locations at Via Las Palmas and Stevens Road. As part of the
traffic analysis, Webb recommended the protected pedestrian crosswalks include
advance yield markings and flashing beacon systems. Conceptual exhibits provided in
the traffic analysis are shown below in Figures 1 and 2.

On October 19, 2016, the City Council authorized the City Engineer to install two
protected pedestrian crosswalks at Via Las Palmas and Stevens Road in accordance
with Chapter 12.68 'Pedestrians" of the Palm Springs Municipal Code. Additionally, the
City Council authorized a Purchase Order with Webb in the amount $31,130 to proceed
with traffic engineering design services for the N. Palm Canyon Drive at Via Las Palmas
and Stevens Road Crosswalk Installations, City Project No. 16-13, (Project). A copy of
the October 19, 2016 staff report is included as Attachment 1.

The Project scope of work for the two protected pedestrian marked crosswalks at Via
Las Palmas and Stevens Road include minor asphalt concrete pavement, concrete curb
extensions (bulb-outs), curb and gutter, sidewalk, curb ramps, in-roadway warning
lights, roadside flashing yellow beacons, street lighting, pavement markings and
roadside signage. The placement of these two protected pedestrian marked crosswalks
would be positioned along the northerly side of the intersections consistent with the
traffic analysis prepared by Webb.
Staff has notified the adjacent commercial property owners regarding the proposed
crosswalk improvements, and none have objected.
With City Council's approval, staff will advertise the project for bids in the Desert Sun,
submit the Notice Inviting Bids to plan rooms, and provide the bid documents available
free of charge to prospective bidders. Copies of the construction drawings and contract
specifications for the Project are on file with the Engineering Services Department. The
following tentative schedule has been identified for the bid process:
Notice Inviting Bids issued and posted: May 18, 2017
Deadline for receipt of bids: 3:00 PM, June 22, 2017
Contract awarded by City Council: July 19, 2017
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Guidelines are
required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have
a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of
CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of
projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to be
categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects
consist of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing public structures, facilities, mechanical equipment involving
negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's
determination. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15301(c), staff has determined
that the N. Palm Canyon Drive at Stevens Road and Via Las Palmas Crosswalk
Installations, City Project No. 16-13, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA and
a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and filed with the Riverside County Clerk. A
copy of the Notice of Exemption is included as Attachment 2.

FISCAL IMPACT:
On January 2, 2014, the City conducted a bid opening for the Uptown Crosswalks, City
Project No. 13-10, which was a capital project to construct and install four new
protected crosswalks on N. Palm Canyon Drive at W. Chino Drive, Merito Place, and El
Alameda, and on N. Indian Canyon Drive at Granvia Valmonte. The total cost of this
prior project was $184,849 for four protected crosswalks. On the basis of this total cost,
each protected crosswalk had a cost of $46,212 in January 2014; however, this cost
excluded prevailing wages and in-ground illuminated crosswalk systems. As reported to
City Council in October 2016, staff increased the estimated cost for each crosswalk by
30% to account for prevailing wages, and generally increasing cost of labor and
materials over the last 3 years, and added $40,000 as the cost of the in-ground
illuminated crosswalk system at each location.
On this basis, staff estimated the total construction cost for each protected crosswalk at
$100,000 — or a total cost of $200,000. Staff also recommended, and City Council
agreed, that this project be funded with budget appropriated in the Measure J Capital
Improvement Fund (Fund 260) in two ways: 1) the design costs of $31,130 to be funded
from the Non-Motorized Transportation Program ("NMTP") funding in Account No. 260-
4500-59445; and 2) the construction costs of $200,000 from funding allocated to the
Measure J Community Projects.
However, the final construction estimate for the project is $342,000 as shown in
Attachment 3. The increased cost is primarily due to significantly more street work
required at these crosswalk locations, and costs associated with installation of a new
SCE street light at Via Las Palmas.
On October 21, 2015, the City Council approved the Measure J "Community Projects"
recommendations and three-year plan, and subsequently appropriated Measure J
funding for the first two years of the listed Community Projects. Identified as a project
listed for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 is a proposed project to install a traffic signal at La
Verne Way and Twin Palms Drive with a budget allocated of $200,000. Staff requested
that Webb perform a traffic analysis to determine if traffic signal warrants were satisfied
for a new traffic signal at La Verne Way and Twin Palms Drive, and Webb has
confirmed that warrants are not satisfied. Therefore, the budget of $200,000 allocated
from the Measure J Community Projects list was available to be reallocated to
installation of the two new protected crosswalks on N. Palm Canyon Drive.
On March 16, 2017, staff provided the Measure J Commission with a list of unfunded
project requests for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 budget. Staff identified five top priority
projects in need of future funding. The new protected crosswalks on N. Palm Canyon
Drive is one of the priority projects in which staff is requesting the Measure J
Commission an allocation of $200,000 budget in the next fiscal year. On April 20, 2017,
the Measure J Commission recommended funding in the amount of $200,000 for the
project as part of the 2017/2018 Fiscal Year Measure J budget.

At the May 9, 2017, joint City Council / Measure J Commission meeting, the City
Council reviewed the recommended list of capital projects to be funded with Measure J
capital funds, however, no formal action was taken at that time.
On the basis that the City Council ultimately approves an appropriation of $200,000 for
the project as part of the 2017/2018 Measure J Fiscal Year budget, the estimated
Project budget and incurred expenditures are identified in Table 1.

AND STEVENS ROAD, AND AUTHORIZATION OF A PURCHASE
ORDER IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,130 WITH ALBERT A. WEBB &
ASSOCIATES FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE N.
PALM CANYON DRIVE AT STEVENS ROAD AND VIA LAS PALMAS
CROSSWALK INSTALLATIONS, CITY PROJECT NO. 16-13
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Engineering Services Department
SUMMARY:
At the prior request of City Council, staff requested a traffic analysis of the N. Palm
Canyon Dr. corridor between Tachevah Drive and Vista Chino by the City's on-call
traffic engineering firm, Albert A. Webb & Associates, ("Webb"), to consider where
pedestrian crosswalks may be appropriate and installed along this 0.5 mile long
segment. The traffic analysis completed by Webb recommends the City consider
providing protected pedestrian crosswalks at Via Las Palmas and Stevens Road. This
action item would direct staff to proceed with the design of improvements to install new
pedestrian crosswalks with curb pop-outs, rectangular flashing beacons, and in-ground
illuminated crosswalk systems, at these two locations, and authorize a Purchase Order
in the amount of $31,130 with Webb for traffic engineering design services associated
with the N. Palm Canyon Drive at Stevens Road and Via Las Palmas Crosswalk
Installations, City Project No. 16-13.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the City Engineer to install a protected pedestrian crosswalk at the
intersection of N. Palm Canyon Drive and Via Las Palmas in accordance with
Chapter 12.68 "Pedestrians" of the Palm Springs Municipal Code;
2. Authorize the City Engineer to install a protected pedestrian crosswalk at the
intersection of N. Palm Canyon Drive and Stevens Road in accordance with Chapter
12.68 "Pedestrians" of the Palm Springs Municipal Code;

3. Authorize a Purchase Order in the amount of $31,130 with Albert A. Webb &
Associates, pursuant to the City's "on-call' traffic engineering services agreement,
(A6443), for traffic engineering design services for the N. Palm Canyon Drive at
Stevens Road and Via Las Palmas Crosswalk Installations, City Project No. 16-13;
4. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
BACKGROUND:
The segment of N. Palm Canyon Drive between Tachevah Drive and Vista Chino is
one-half mile long, with five non-signalized intersections at:
• Vereda Sur
• Via Las Palmas
• Vereda Norte
• Camino Monte Vista
• Stevens Road
Figure 1 on the next page identifies the half mile corridor.
Each of these five intersections do not have traffic signals, and do not have marked
pedestrian crosswalks. In the past, staff has been questioned on the safety of
pedestrian crossings along this segment of N. Palm Canyon Drive, and whether any of
these intersections met warrants for installation of traffic signals, or could be improved
with marked crosswalks, with flashing beacon systems and signage similar to other
pedestrian crosswalks recently installed on N. Palm Canyon Drive at W. Chino Drive,
Merito Place, and El Alameda, and on N. Indian Canyon Drive at Granvia Valmonte.
On November 6, 2013, the City Council approved Agreement No. 6443 with Albert A.
Webb & Associates, ("Webb"), for "on-call' traffic engineering services on an as needed
basis. Utilizing this on-call agreement, staff requested a proposal from Webb to prepare
a traffic analysis for the N. Palm Canyon Drive corridor between Tachevah Drive and
Vista Chino, and determine whether warrants for traffic signals or marked pedestrian
crosswalks are satisfied.
The decision to install a traffic signal at any intersection should be determined on the
basis of a traffic engineering study, in accordance with guidelines identified in the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices ("MUTCD"). Generally, the
MUTCD provides guidance on the installation of traffic signals, and identifies eight
"warrants" related to traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, school crossings, crash
experience, interconnected corridor"roadway network", or railroad crossings.

N. Palm Canyon Dr. Crosswalks
On September 27, 2016, Webb submitted its traffic analysis for the N. Palm Canyon
Drive corridor, and determined the following conclusions:
• Based on traffic counts taken June 23, 2016, the Average Daily Traffic ("ADT) on
this segment of N. Palm Canyon Drive was 16,524 vehicles
• None of the five intersections meet warrants established by the MUTCD for traffic
signal installations due to the low traffic volumes on the side streets
• Pedestrian crosswalk analysis based on existing pedestrian crossing data and the
MUTCD guidance criteria identified two new recommended protected pedestrian
crosswalks at Via Las Palmas and Stevens Road
Painting crosswalks on City streets should only occur when recommended through a
traffic analysis following MUTCD guidance criteria. The traffic analysis completed by
Webb was prepared in accordance with Section 3B.18 Crosswalk Markings of the 2014
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provided below.
08 Crosswalk lines should not be used indiscriminately. An engineering study
should be performed before a marked crosswalk is installed at a location away
from a traffic control signal or an approach controlled by a STOP or YIELD sign.
The engineering study should consider the number of lanes, the presence of a
median, the distance from adjacent signalized intersections, the pedestrian
volumes and delays, the average daily traffic (ADT), the posted or statutory
speed limit or 85th-percentile speed, the geometry of the location, the possible
consolidation of multiple crossing points, the availability of street lighting, and
other appropriate factors.
09 New marked crosswalks across uncontrolled roadways should include alone,
without other measures designed to reduce traffic speeds, shorten crossing
distances, enhance driver awareness of the crossing, and/or provide active
warning of pedestrian presence, should not be installed across uncontrolled
roadways where the speed limit exceeds 40 mph and either.-
A. The roadway has four or more lanes of travel without a raised median or
pedestrian refuge island and an of 12,000 vehicles per day or greater, or
B. The roadway has four or more lanes of travel with a raised median or
pedestrian refuge island and an ADT of 15,000 vehicles per day or greater.
09a If a marked crosswalk exists across an uncontrolled roadway where the
speed limit exceeds 40 mph and the roadway has four or more lanes of travel
and an ADT of 12,000 vehicles per day or greater, advanced yield lines with
associated Yield Here to Pedestrians (R7-5, RI-5a) signs should be placed 20 to
50 ft in advance of the crosswalk, adequate visibility should be provided by
parking prohibitions, pedestrian crossing (W11-2) warning signs with diagonal
downward pointing arrow(W16- 7p) plaques should be installed at the crosswalk,
and a high-visibility crosswalk marking pattern should be used (See Figure 3B-
17(CA)).

N. Palm Canyon Dr. Crosswalks
On the basis that the 85th percentile speed on N. Palm Canyon Drive exceeds 40 mph
(it was determined at 48 mph in the 2013 Citywide traffic speed survey), and has an
ADT of 16,524 exceeding 12,000 recommended by MUTCD, Webb has determined and
recommends that protected crosswalks with advance yield markings and flashing
beacon systems be installed at Via Las Palmas and Stevens Road. Conceptual exhibits
showing how these protected crosswalks would be installed are identified in Figures 2
and 3.

features involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of
the lead agency's determination. Therefore, in accordance with Section 15301(c), staff
has determined that installation of protected pedestrian crosswalks on an existing City
street is considered categorically exempt from CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
On January 2, 2014, the City conducted a bid opening for the Uptown Crosswalks, City
Project No. 13-10, which was a capital project to construct and install four new
protected crosswalks on N. Palm Canyon Drive at W. Chino Drive, Merito Place, and El

and generally increasing cost of labor and materials over the last 3 years, and add
$40,000 as the cost of the in-ground illuminated crosswalk system at each location.
Therefore, staff estimates the total construction cost for each protected crosswalk is
$100,000 — or a total cost of $200,000.
Webb has provided the City with a proposal to prepare plans, specifications and
estimates for construction drawings to install the two recommended protected
crosswalks, for a total not to exceed fee of $31,130; a copy of Webb's proposal is
included as Attachment 2.
Staff is recommending that this project be funded with budget appropriated in the
Measure J Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 260) in two ways: 1) the design costs of
$31,130 to be funded from the Non-Motorized Transportation Program ("NMTP")
funding in Account No. 260-4500-59445; and 2) the construction costs of$200,000 from
