f( -, AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF POW A Y
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the C~ Council
'\'
FROM: James L. Bowersox, City Manager ~
~
INITIATED BY: Mark S. Weston, Director of Engineering servic~6N
Michael H. Robinson, Traffic Engineer ~H;.?
DATE: March 23,1993
SUBJECT: Relocation of Crosswalk at Garden Road Elementary School
BACKGROUND
On February 9, 1993, the Traffic Safety Committee recommended installation of
a loading zone on the north side of Garden Road adjacent to the elementary
school. An earlier meeting between City staff, school staff, and parents of
children who attend the school concluded that the loading zone would help
offset some of the impacts created by school overcrowding and lack of parking
facil ities. At the March 9, 1993 Council meeting, residents from the Garden
Road area asked that the existing school crosswalk and flashing beacons be
relocated closer to the school grounds. Council requested staff to prepare a
report reviewing relocation of the crosswalk, costs of alternative
improvements, and consideration of an adult crossing guard.
ExistinQ Conditions (see Attachment D)
The elementary school property is located on the north side of Garden
Road approximately 160 feet easterly of Floral Avenue. The school
frontage along Garden Road extends approximately 645 feet east from that
point, and is improved with concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk. The
road is approximately 45-feet wide along the school frontage. The
property on the south side of the road is undeveloped. An aspha 1t
walkway on the south side of Garden Road west of the school was
constructed in 1986 and connects the existing permanent improvements
near Acton Avenue to the Floral Avenue intersection and the existing
school crosswalk. The crosswalk is patrolled by a school safety patrol
for approximately 20 minutes just before and after school.

FINDINGS
Construction Alternatives
Three alternatives to relocate the crosswalk are provided:
-ALTERNATIVE A: (Attachment A) This alternative involves: 1) relocation of the
school crosswalk to the front of the school; 2) relocation of the westbound
flashing beacon to the east school property line; and, 3) installation of
,asphalt curb, sidewalk, and extension of bike lane to connect existing
facilities with the new crosswalk location. Alternative A would be an interim
design and can be constructed using existing right-of-way. Alternative A
would cost approximately $22,000. Cars which are presently using the south
side of the road for student dropoff and pickup will continue to do so, but
access to the dirt lot will be limited to east of the new crosswalk location.
This will help minimize pedestrian\vehicle conflicts.
-ALTERNATIVE B: (Attachment B) Alternative B involves: 1) relocation of the
school crosswalk to the front of the school, (same as alternative A); 2)
relocation of the westbound flashing beacon to the east school property line,
same as alternative A); and, 3) construction of full street improvements on
the south side including concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk, utility relocation,
storm drain extension, and widening the road to its ultimate 50-foot
configuration. The construction would require acquisition of additional
right-of-way. The south side improvements would begin easterly of Acton
Avenue and end near the relocated crosswalk across from the school
(approximately 850 linear feet.) Vehicle access to the dirt lot would be
limited to east of the new crosswalk as in Alternative A. Alternative B would
cost approximately $112,000 to build.
-ALTERNATIVE C: (Attachment C) Alternative C involves: 1) relocation of the
school crosswalk, (same as A and B); 2) relocation of the flashing beacon,
(same as A and B); 3} construction of full width improvements along the south
side of Garden Road from east of Acton to the east school property line,
(approximately 1240 linear feet,); and, 4}construction of a 70 space parking
facility on the south side of the road. Full improvements on the south side
and construction of the parking lot will also require additional right-of-way
and utility relocation. Alternative C would cost approximately $260,000.
SCHOOL CROSSING PROTECTION - At the March 9 Council meeting, citizens from the
Garden Road area requested an adult guard for the school crossing. Warrants
for Adult Crossing Guards for this location were last reviewed in March 1990.
At that time the crossing did not warrant adult guards. The Sycamore Canyon

- -

Page 3
- subdivision has been completed, and traffic volumes have increased
approximately 27% since 1989. Using updated traffic counts, the warrants for
adult crossing guards are met. The State of California Traffic Manual states
that the children in school safety patrols are intended to control only the
children at a school crossing. Recently, they have been controlling traffic
as well. Adult crossing guards are needed when control of both pedestrians
and vehicles is necessary. Adult guards cost approximately $3750 per year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be approximately $22,000-$260,000 depending on the
alternative chosen. Staff recommends Alternative A at a cost of $22,000. An
adult crossing guard would have an annual cost of $3750.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is a preliminary report and environmental review is not required under
CEQA gUidelines. An environmental review will be completed in the future
based on the chosen alternative.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council approve Alternative A and appropriate
$22,000 from Street Maintenance Funds (1-403-355) for design and construction.
It is further recommended that an adult crossing guard be funded and assigned
to the existing school crosswalk as soon as possible.

SCHOOL BOARD, MAR, 8, 19S3
GOOD EVENING, ~Y NAME IS CONNIE SPITZZR, I LlVE AT 16028
PARAGON MESA ROAD IN POWAY. I HAVE A FIRST GRADE STUDENT AT
GARDEN ROAD SCHOOL, I AM HERE BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN
REGARDING THE DANGEROUS TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN FRONT OF THE
SCHOOL AS PARENTS DROP OFF AND PZCK UP STUDENTS. WE WOULD
LIKE TO ASK YOU TO JOIN US IN SUPPORTING CHANGES THAT NEED TO
BE MADE, I HAVE BEEN WOR~ING CLOSELY WITH OUR PRINCIPAL,
KATHY CLEVELAND, WITH MIKE ROBINSON, A CITY ENGINEER, WITH
STEVE ROGERS AND TIM PERVIS OF puse's TRANSPORTATION, LAURA
POLl S , ANOTHER CONCERNED PARENT, AND THE GARDEN ROAD PTA. I
HAVE INTERVIEWED OVER ~o PARENTS GATHERING NEW IDEAS FROM
ALMOST EVERYONE, TO DATE WE HAVE SUGGESTED PARENTS ARRANGE
TO MEET THEIR CHILDREN BEHIND THE SCHOOL, ORGANIZED CAR
POOLS, AND EDUCATED PARENTS, WE ARE WAITING FOR FLYERS FROM
AAA THAT GO INTO SAFETY IN DETAIL, ALL OF THESE THINGS HELP,
BUT THEY DO NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEMS I AM ABOUT TO ADDRESS,
THE SITUATIONS I HAVE SEEN ON A REGUALR BASIS ARE:
l. CHILDREN AND PARENTS CROSSING WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF A
CROSSWALK IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL,
2. CHILDREN WALKING ALONG THE SOUTH SIJE OF TEE S7REET
~!THOUl A SIDE WALK.
3, PEOPLE DO~ELE PARKING TO DROP OF~ AND PICK U? CHILDREN.
L.i. U IUR~5 BEING MADE AT RANDOM IN FRONT O~ TEE SCHOOL.
S, PEO?LE hAVING TO PARK ILLEGALLY, AS lHERE !S NO OFF
STREET PARKING AVAILAELE,
WE AS A LARGE GROUP OF CONCERNED PARENTS HAVE COME UP WITH A
LIST OF SUGGESTIONS,
....
1. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CROSSWALK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ....
THE SCHOOL. PEOPLE CHOOSE TO CROSS IN FRONT OF THE :i
SCHOOL, RATHER THAN WALK ON THE STREET TO A CROSS WALK ~
THAT IS INCONVENiENTLY LOCATED A BLOCK FROM THE SCHOOL,
2, WE NEED OFr STREET PARKING, THERE ARE 77 EMPLOYEES, AND ....
ONLY ~~ PARKING SPACES, PARENTS ARE FORCED TO PARK ON m
-
THE STREET OR ILLEGALLY ON A VACANT LOT. SUGGESTIONS M
INCLUDE PURCHASING OR LEASING THE LAND ACROSS THE STREET, ""
OR PERHAPS PROVIDING OFF STREET PARKING FOR GARDEN ROAD 0::
PARK, ADJACENT TO THE SCHOOL, WHICH COULD ALSO BE USED BY ~
PARENTS. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE OFF STREET PARKING
PROBLEM IS WHERE WE WILL NEED THE SUGGESTiONS AND
COOPERATION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD.
