I am concerned that the questions asked, and comments made, by the residents in attendance would not become a part of the public record. Therefore, please consider this a formal request that my comments become part of the record with respect to the proposed budget. First, I truly appreciate all the hard work that staff did on the budget and making it understandable for the residents. While reviewing the specific Capital Improvement Projects, when the references to the General Plan's goals, policies and objectives at the bottom are completed, I find it very beneficial. It would be good if more of those were provided. Also, the departmental goals and objectives, when stated, are helpful, but -] would -like to see a time line and matrix for achieving the goals that have an extended vision (beyond the current year). In addition, it would be useful to see if we are achieving cost savings by outsourcing staff services. I note that we need goals and objectives for the City Attorney's office and the City Council. There may -be -obvious goals such as getting out of lawsuits and having fewer of them, but they need to be stated. Likewise with the City Council should provide a list of goals and priorities. realize that some of my comments pertain to policy, but since policy drives the budget, I feel that while we look over what was accomplished in the prior year and forecasting next year, it is a good time to examine policy. In this respect, I would like to see the budget contain a statement as to what the over all vision and plan is for the city. Having a pian is a very important part of creating and maintaining the economic health of the city. so what is the economic model that Costa Mesa is trying to gravitate towards? What is the plan for making certain we get a more solvent, stronger, healthier version of the city, so we can afford to do more and progress forward? I am looking for a balance of the needs to grow the city with conservative fiscal policies -- the spending versus revenues; replenishing the reserves, etc. When I look at some the capital improvement projects, there are some that I have a "wait a second" reaction. How are the capital improvements aligning with the overall city planning? What plans are there of developing walkable neighborhoods that encourage small businesses and entrepreneurship? These type of neighborhoods provide tax base, wealth and value, and provide opportunities for businesses and families. What plans are there to make more capital improvements to the Westside? Since we have developers interested in projects in that area, can we show them the City is committed to upgrading that area? By upgrading the Westside, those neighborhoods would increase revenue, which could, at a later date, be used to benefit the richer, typical suburban neighborhoods, including Mesa Verde. Is there a budget for upgrading transportation given the increase in density of housing? Are we looking at planning for new transportation -oriented bikeways, walking paths, tying into Santa Ana/Westminster light rail, having transportation centers near South Coast Plaza and downtown. These are the questions and comments I had Thursday and you addressed some of the issues at that meeting. In addition 1 have a few comments on the proposed Capital Improvement Projects. The priority classification is interesting and I don't always agree. 1. W. 17th St Improvements -- Class IV, but given the new housing and need for bikeability and walkability there (safety issue), should this be given higher priority? 2. Upgrading Newport Blvd between 19th & Bristol — why are we doing this now? The general plan update hada proposed overt" for the Eastside but is that considered a done deal? I don't think we should spend money on architect yet. What about bikeability/alternative transportation along there? 3. Bus bench replacement — this is a band-aid on a problem. You need to address homeless/transient issue. You can run it off the main streets into the alleys, but residents aren't going to tolerate that. 4. The bikeway/walking path part of the Arlington bioswale project on the Fairground side of the street should be moved to the other side of the street. The destinations for cyclists and riders are on that side and I'm afraid if it is on the other side we will see little use. Also, trucks and RVs entering and exiting the Fairground is a safety issue. In addition, I don't understand the projections in the 7 year Capital Improvement Program. Why is the roof on the tennis center scheduled for $45k worth of work 5 2 years from now when we are replacing the roof now? Also, I believe the Lloyds replaced the floor last year. Once again, thanks for your hard work. Cynthia McDonald PUBLIC COMMENT May 26, 2015 Fariba Fazeli, City Engineer City of Costa Mesa 77 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa CA 92626 Re: Arlington Drive Bioswale and Dry Weather Diversion (Arlington Drive Bioswale) I write to raise a serious issues regarding the proposed plan to build a bioswale and a multipurpose trail on the south side of Arlington Drive. Building the trail on this side of Arlington Drive, which is the side adjacent to the Orange County Fair and Events Center (OCEFEC), creates a serious safety hazard, endangers potential users of such a trail, and increases the potential liability of both Costa Mesa and the OCFEC. Placement of the trail portion of this plan on the south side of Arlington Drive will, as documented below, moves foot and bicycle traffic to the unlit side of Arlington Drive, away from the schools and recreational amenities, which are the likely destinations of pedestrians and cyclists, and, as a result, lead to the unavoidable and sustained interaction between large commercial vehicular traffic entering the OCFEC, greater pedestrian and bicycle traffic crossing Arlington Drive and increased likelihood of serious accident, injury, or death to the adults and children using the trail. Placement of the trail portion of this project along the north side of Arlington Drive would eliminate most of the safety issues created by this southern placement, make the trail more useful to its potential users, and separate foot and bicycle traffic from the environmentally sensitive bioswale. The Arlington Drive Bioswale is part of the 2015-2016 city of Costa Mesa Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)and is being paid using $510,00 from the Drainage Fund and $1.69 million OCTA Measure M2 Environmental Grant. The current drainage ditch would be replaced with a bioswale to improve water quality and aesthetics. A multipurpose trail with lane markings made of permeable concrete for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders, and other users is planned for the south side of Arlington Drive. The paved, multipurpose trail is planned to be part of the network of trails throughout the city and would eventually connect with other trails.The Arlington Drive Bioswale project makes significant changes to the use of the area and impacts Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, Volcom Skate Park, Bark Park, the Orange County Fair and Event Center (OCFEC) along with adjacent facilities and neighborhoods. The development of a bioswale and a trail along Arlington Drive benefits the community by improving watershed management and providing safe transportation opportunities by walking and biking. The purpose of a trail is to provide a safe way to separate pedestrians, bicyclists, skate boarders and other non -motorized transportation users from cars, trucks and other motor vehicles. The trail is currently planned to be on the south side of the street, which is the opposite side of the street from the destinations (Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, athletic fields, Volcom Skate Park, and the Bark Park), which will cause trail users to cross Arlington Drive to get to their destinations. The south side of the 2 street has NINE gates for use by the OCFEC for parking, deliveries, and ingress/egress. The proposed location of the trail shows a lack of understanding of the uses of Arlington Drive and the development of distinct business and public uses of each side of the street. To provide safe transportation opportunities, the trail must be moved to the opposite side of Arlington Drive. Vehicles that use Arlington Drive include OCTA and Experian parking lot shuttle buses (full size buses) bringing in OC Fair patrons, large trucks hauling beverage and food, livestock and horse trailers, delivery, maintenance and vendor trucks and cars, among other vehicles. OCFEC uses the parking entrances on Arlington Drive to provide parking during events. Each of type of vehicle presents unique hazards in the current configuration of trail. The improvements of the Arlington Drive Bioswale are desired in the community but require changes to make the project function safely. As currently configured, with the paved multipurpose trail crossing nine active driveways in one mile, which places trail users in the path of vehicular traffic and increases chances for an accident. This is a fixable flaw which can be mitigated by moving the trail to the north side of the street. If the trail is built on the south side of the street, multiple safety issues are created. These issues include • Pedestrians, bicyclists and other trail users will start using the south side of the street, which is currently not designed for this type of traffic. Arlington Drive was developed with the south side being the loading dock for the OCFEC and the north side having sidewalks for access to the schools and parks on that side of the street. • Trail users would cross nine active driveways in the span of one mile from Fairview Drive to Newport Blvd. An accident between a trail user and a vehicle can occur nine times between Fairview Drive and Newport Blvd. • OCFEC uses the gates on Arlington Drive to park cars during events. Gates 3, 4, and 8 are used to park patrons during events. Each car crossing the unexpected trail would be a chance of a trail user having an accident with a vehicle. • Large trucks, including tractor trailers, use the gates along Arlington Drive to make deliveries. Large vehicles have blind spots, long stopping distances, a wide turning radius, and a chance of jackknifing when forced to stop suddenly. Trail users will be crossing the path of these large vehicles, leading to accidents. • Livestock and horse trailers use the gates on Arlington Drive to pick up and deliver live animals. Livestock and horse trailers have the same problems as other large vehicles but cannot stop suddenly because the live animals being carried can be killed by being thrown around in the trailer. Trail users will be crossing the path of livestock and horse trailers, leading to accidents for both the trail users and the animals being carried. • Delivery, maintenance, construction, vendor vehicles, and RVs use the Arlington Gates. These vehicles are heavy with blind spots and long stopping distances and should not be mixing with trail users because of the possibility of accidents. • OCTA buses use Gate 8 to drop off patrons during the OC Fair. OCTA dropped off nearly 40,000 riders at the OC Fair in 2014. Trail users would be crossing the path of OCTA buses at Gate 8 on a regular basis, which can lead to accidents which would injure both the trail users and the bus passengers . 3 • Shuttle buses from the Experian parking garage use Gate 8 to drop off patrons during the OC Fair The Experian shuttle buses are the same size as the OCTA buses and use the same gate, Gate 8, which will be crossed by trail users and possibly cause accidents which would injure both the trail users and the bus passengers. . • The streetlights are on the north side of the street and do not provide sufficient illumination to the south side of the street to allow for safe usage during night. Additional illumination will be needed to be installed to make the trail safe to use at night. • Arlington Drive is an east -west street and has periods of limited visibility during sunrise and sunset. Trail users crossing the nine active gates or crossing Arlington Drive to reach a school or park will be placed in the path of traffic during a time of limited visibility, leading to accidents. • Arlington Drive is the shortest path from the parking lots of Orange Coast College (OCC) to Newport Drive and the 55 Freeway. Parking lots A and B at OCC exit onto the intersection of Fairview Driver and Arlington Drive. Increasing pedestrian and bicycle traffic by creating a trail creates opportunities for accidents as trail users cross from the trail to the schools and parks which are their ultimate destinations. • The trail type has been changed from decomposed granite to paved multipurpose with lane markings. The current design of the trail is paved with lane markings, which will allow skateboarders and small motorized vehicles such as carts and scooters to use the trail. The skateboarders and small motorized vehicles would be crossing the path of vehicles using the nine gates, which will lead to accidents. Pedestrians, bicyclists and other trail users will start using the south side of the street, which is currently not designed for this type of traffic and will lead to accidents. Historically, Arlington Drive was developed with the south side being the loading dock for the OCFEC and the north side having sidewalks for access to the schools and parks on that side of the street. OCFEC developed their side of Arlington Drive to accommodate the business needs with access to parking lots and use by delivery and construction vehicles, livestock and horse trailers and other large vehicles. The north side of Arlington Drive was developed with pedestrian access for Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, Bark Park and Volcom Skate Park. Pedestrians and bicyclists will be placed in the path of vehicles using gates which were not designed to accommodate non -motorized vehicle traffic, which will lead to accident. Trail users would cross NINE active driveways in the span of one mile from Fairview Drive to Newport Blvd. This is nine opportunities for an accident between a trail user and a vehicle entering or exiting the OCFEC. The current trail configuration requires users to cross nine active driveways (Gates 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8, 9.5) which are used for parking, delivery trucks, buses, horse and livestock trailers, construction vehicles, maintenance vehicles, among other types of vehicles in a one mile road between Fairview Road and Newport Blvd. There is no way to prevent pedestrians from crossing in front of a turning vehicle. Vehicles can be blocked from entering by a barricade. The only barricade that can prevent a pedestrian from entering is a fence, which defeats the purpose of the trail. 0 OCFEC uses the gates on Arlington Drive to park cars during events. The cars entering and exiting are not expecting a trail with pedestrians and bicyclists to be in front of them, which will lead to accidents. OCFEC uses the gates on Arlington Drive to park cars during events. Gate 3 is used to park OCC students on a daily basis and Gate 4 is used for parking for the Administration Building, general parking, and vendor loading. Gate 8 is used to park cars during events. Each car parking or leaving the parking lot would have to deal with the possibility of a pedestrian in the trail crossing the gate while they are in the driveway. The entry and exit of these vehicles across the pedestrian and bicycle trail can occur during peak times for trail usage, increasing the chances for an accident between a vehicle and a pedestrian or bicyclist. Large trucks, including tractor trailers, use the gates along Arlington Drive to make deliveries. Trail users would be crossing the path of these vehicles, leading to accidents and possible closure of Arlington Drive during accident investigation and clean up. Large trucks, including tractor trailers, hauling beverages and food enter and exit the Arlington Drive gates to make deliveries, making this area into a loading dock entry. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic are incompatible with loading dock entry and exit areas. The vehicles entering and exiting are beverage, food, package and other delivery trucks and are heavy, have blind spots common to large trucks, and cannot stop quickly if a pedestrian enters their path. A wide turning radius is common for these vehicles. A quick sudden stop could cause a jackknifed trailer, along with possible injury or death of the trail user and driver and closure of Arlington Drive during the accident investigation and cleanup. Creating a trail across a de - facto loading dock entry and exit is unsafe and will lead to injury or death. Livestock and horse trailers use the gates on Arlington Drive to pick up and deliver live animals. Vehicles carrying live animals cannot stop suddenly without risking injury or death of the animals, which increases the chances of an accident with trail users. Livestock and horse trailers combine the problems of the OCTA and Experian shuttle buses with the tractor -trailer trucks because the trailer is hauled behind a truck. Livestock and horse trailer drivers cannot stop fast because the livestock and horses can be injured or killed by being slammed around in a trailer. If the driver has to stop quickly during a turn into a gate to avoid a pedestrian, the trailer could jackknife, at which time the trailer tipping over and injuring or killing the animals becomes a possibility. These vehicles need to turn wide due to their size and to avoid harming the live animals in the trailer. An accident with a vehicle carrying live animals can lead to injured animals who may be running free and/or injured. In addition to the injury or death of the trail user and driver and the closure of Arlington Drive to clean up the accident, the freed animals will have to be chased down and captured while injured animals will be killed to prevent their further suffering. The accident which could have been avoided by moving the trail to the other side of the street will cause an unnecessary loss of life. Delivery, maintenance, construction,vendor vehicles, and RVs use the Arlington Gates. These are heavy vehicles with blind spots and long stopping distances and should not be mixing with trail users crossing entry and exit gates because of the possibility of an accident. Delivery, maintenance, construction, and vendor vehicles and RVs use the Arlington Gates. Vendors often use an RV as their accommodations during their time at the OCFEC. The RV 5 parking area is behind the Administration Building off Arlington Drive Many of these trucks are large, with blind spots common to large trucks and long stopping distances. The large box trucks can be top heavy, which can lead to tipping over if a driver has to stop suddenly during a turn to avoid a pedestrian in the trail crossing the gate. RVs have similar problems to the trucks. These drivers will be confronted with the highly unusual situation of having pedestrian and bicycle traffic potentially crossing their path while entering and exiting the OCFEC. OCTA buses use Gate 8 to drop off patrons during the OC Fair. The regular entrance of OCTA buses across the proposed trail creates the possibility of an accident which would injure both trail users and bus passengers. In 2014, OCTA ran the OC Fair Express bus lines during the run of the OC Fair each Friday from 12 pm to midnight, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to midnight. Nearly 40,000 riders used the OC Fair Express in 2014. In 2015, the plan is to have 10 bus lines bring passengers to the OC Fair. The bus routes will be the 633 (Fullerton Park -and -Ride), 650 (Anaheim Regional Transportation Center (ARTIC)), 671 (Anaheim Canyon Metrolink Station), 642 (The Village at Orange), 662 (The Depot at Santa Ana), 670 (Goldenwest Transportation Center), 688 (Irvine Transportation Center), 683 (Laguna Hills Transportation Center), 691 (Junipero Serra Rd. Park -and -Ride.) The bus service is provided on 20, 30 or 40 minute intervals, depending on the route. At peak times, it is common to have several buses dropping off and picking up passengers in the same lot. OCTA buses enter using Gate 8 off Arlington and exit using Gate 10 on Newport Blvd. The weight of the bus makes it unlikely a bus could fully stop if a pedestrian ignored the bus and entered the gate area of the trail while the bus was turning. A fast stop could lead to injury of the bus riders as the driver tries to avoid a pedestrian collision. A trail across Gate 8 is incompatible with this activity. Shuttle buses from the Experian parking garage use Gate 8 to drop off patrons during the OC Fair. The regular entrance of OCTA buses across the proposed trail creates the possibility of an accident which would injure both trail users and bus passengers. In 2015, the OC Fair will continue the Experian parking shuttle which allows users to park free at the Experian parking garage on Anton Blvd and take a free bus to and from the OCFEC. Experian shuttle buses operate between 10 am and 1 am on Saturday and Sunday when the OC Fair is open. The OCTA and Experian buses enter on Gate 8 off Arlington and exit thru Gate 10 on Newport. The proposed trail across Gate 8 can cause an accident which injures or kills the users of the trail, the passengers on the bus, cause shutdown of Arlington to clean up the accident and property damage. The streetlights are on the north side of the street and do not provide sufficient illumination to the south side of the street to allow for safe usage during night. If the lighting is not installed, the trail must be posted as 'Daytime Use Only' to let users know there are safety issues in twilight and nighttime use. Arlington Drive has been developed with a business side with nine gates for vehicle entry and exit on the south side next to OCFEC and a public use side on the north side next to Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, Bark Park and Volcom Skate Park. The north side has a sidewalk and the streetlights illuminating the sidewalk at night. The south side does not have streetlights and relies on the lights from the OCFEC buildings to illuminate the area. If a trail is built along the south side of Arlington Drive, additional lighting is needed to make the trail safe for users during twilight and at night. If additional lighting is I. not installed, the trail will be of limited use during the fall and winter when sunset is in the late afternoon. The risk of an accident is also greatly increased when, inevitably, pedestrians or bicyclists choose to ignore the Daytime Use admonitions. Arlington Drive is an east -west street and has periods of limited visibility during sunrise and sunset. The periods of limited visibility can lead to accidents with trail users crossing the gates or the street. Driver visibility can be limited during sunrise and sunset, which occurs on Arlington Drive because of the east -west orientation of the street. Vehicles using the gates will encounter trail users during this time, which can lead to accidents. Trail users will also be crossing Arlington Drive to reach destinations at Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park , Volcom Skate Park and Bark Park, leading to more accidents between trail users and vehicles. Arlington Drive is the shortest path from the parking lots A and B of Orange Coast College (OCC) to Newport Drive and the 55 Freeway. Increasing pedestrian and bicycle traffic by creating a trail creates opportunities for accidents as trail users cross from the trail to the schools and parks which are their ultimate destinations. Trail users will cross Arlington Drive to reach Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, Bark Park and Volcom Skate Park, which places them in the path of vehicles leaving OCC. The trail type has been changed from decomposed granite to paved multipurpose with lane markings. The current design of the trail is paved with lane markings, which will allow skateboarders and small motorized vehicles such as carts and scooters to use the trail. The skateboarders and small motorized vehicles would be crossing the path of vehicles using the nine gates, which will lead to accidents. The project description in the CIP is inconsistent with the plans discussed with members of the public. The CIP description includes a decomposed granite multipurpose trail while the plans presented to the public have a permeable concrete bike path with lane markings. The paved trail will allow skateboarders and small motorized vehicles to use the trail, which can lead to accidents as these users cross the nine active driveways. Drivers entering and exiting the gates would be possibly be confronted by a skateboarder or small motorized vehicle in their way, which is a highly unusual situation which can lead to an accident. Placing the trail on the OCFEC side of Arlington Drive requires all drivers, of cars, tractor trailers, livestock and horse trailers, buses, box trucks and other vehicles, to be in an unfamiliar situation where trail users are actively crossing their path without warning. Rather than forcing drivers into an unfamiliar and hazardous situation, the trail can be moved to the opposite side of the street. If the trail is kept on the OCFEC side of Arlington Drive, it is a matter of when, not if, a serious accident occurs. This problem is fixable and may be entirely remedied by moving the pedestrian and bicycle trail to the opposite side of Arlington Drive, next to Costa Mesa High School, Davis Magnet School, TeWinkle Park, Volcom Skate Park and the Bark Park, the likely sources of, destinations for, pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Moving the proposed trail to the north side of Arlington Drive, now, during the design phase of this project, is the logical and economical solution which makes the trail SAFER and MORE 7 USEABLE. I encourage you to investigate the issues I raise above and I think you will reach this same conclusion.
