8 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 Part B: Narrative Questions Detailed Instructions for: Screening Criteria The following Screening Criteria are requirements for applications to be considered for ATP funding. Failure to demonstrate a project meets these criteria will result is the disqualification of the application. 1. Demonstrated fiscal needs of the applicant: The Sunset Circle Multi-Use Trail Project has been identified as a top priority in the region s Active Transportation Plan, but currently has no identified funding source for design or construction. The project closes a significant gap in existing multi-use trails and is the final connection from Downtown Crescent City to the Harbor and the Elk Valley Rancheria neighborhood. The project is not directly or indirectly related to past or future environmental mitigation resulting from a separate development or capital improvement project. 2. Consistency with Regional Plan. The project is consistent with the Regional Transportation Plan. It is documented in attachment I-1 in Section C. Page 2

9 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 Part B: Narrative Questions Detailed Instructions for: Question #1 QUESTION #1 POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED WALKING AND BICYCLING, ESPECIALLY AMONG STUDENTS, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF WALKING AND BICYCLING ROUTES TO AND FROM SCHOOLS, TRANSIT FACILITIES, COMMUNITY CENTERS, EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, AND OTHER DESTINATIONS; AND INCLUDING INCREASING AND IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY OF NON MOTORIZED USERS. (0 30 POINTS) A. Describe the following: Current and projected types and numbers/rates of users. (12 points max.) The Sunset Circle Multi Use path is a proposed shared use trail in Crescent City, CA. It will provide a much needed connection for residents near the Elk Valley Rancheria to Downtown Crescent City. It is the last significant gap in the California Coastal Trail in Crescent City, and will complete a network of high quality bicycle and pedestrian facilities that provide a parallel route to Highway 101. Figure 1 Project Vicinity Map The California Coastal Trail (CCT) is a proposed network of trails for active transportation users along the California Coast from Oregon to Mexico. The CCT will ultimately include 1,200 continuous miles of shareduse facilities. Improvements to the route through Del Norte County, referred to locally as the Coastal Trail (CT), are ongoing and have been a collaborative effort between Crescent City, the Harbor District, and Del Norte County. Sunset Circle is the last significant segment of the California Coastal Trail to be upgraded to a shared use facility in the immediate Crescent City area. Page 3

10 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 The proposed project will close an existing gap between the Harbor Trail North Class I facility and the recently constructed Promenade Trail along Starfish Way. This will connect Beachfront Park to the Crescent City Harbor, providing a safe and convenient route for commuters, tourists, and recreational users who actively use the two trail systems today. Figure 2 Closing the gap between the Harbor Trail and the Promenade Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian counts were conducted on either side of the proposed trail on March 21, 2015 as part of the region s Active Transportation Plan and are documented in Table 1: AM (9AM 10AM) PM (2PM 3PM) Intersection Bicyclists Pedestrians Bicyclists Pedestrians Howe/Front Harbor/Sunset Table 1 Existing Bicycle and Pedestrian Counts Page 4

11 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 From this data, the existing use of the trail segment was extrapolated using the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project Database assuming a shared use path in a moderate climate, and accounting for factors including the day of the week, climate, and the time of the year the survey was taken. The average use of the trail based on these factors and the bicycle and pedestrian counts are summarized in Table 2: Bicyclists Pedestrians Total Daily Activity (Saturday) Weekly Activity ,371 Monthly Activity (March) 2,196 3,875 6,071 Annual Activity 27,448 48,438 75,886 Table 2 Extrapolated daily, weekly, monthly, and annual use of the Coastal Trail near Sunset Circle Future use of the trail over a one and five year period has been calculated based on the findings of Trail Characteristics as Correlates of Urban Trail Use 1 in the American Journal of Health Promotion. This study evaluated three existing trail systems and found that good trail conditions resulted in a 28% increase in bicyclist and pedestrian use over fair or poor trail conditions. Based on field observations, Sunset Circle is actively being used by pedestrians and bicyclists walking in the existing roadway. For the purpose of the calculating future use, Sunset Circle has been assumed to be a fair or poor trail based on the lack of existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities on the street. Using these assumptions, the future use of Sunset Circle with the proposed improvements are as follows: Bicyclists Pedestrians Total Daily Activity (Saturday) Weekly Activity 635 1,120 1,755 Monthly Activity (March) 2,811 4,960 7,771 Annual Activity 35,133 62,000 97,133 Table 3 Future daily, weekly, monthly, and annual use of the Sunset Circle Multi Use Trail 1 Reynolds, Kim D., Jennifer Wolch, Jason Byrne, Chih Ping Chou, Guanjun Feng, Susan Weaver, and Michael Jerrett.

12 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 B. Describe how the project links or connects, or encourages use of existing routes (for non infrastructure applications) to transportation related and community identified destinations where an increase in active transportation modes can be realized, including but not limited to: schools, school facilities, transit facilities, community, social service or medical centers, employment centers, high density or affordable housing, regional, State or national trail system, recreational and visitor destinations or other community identified destinations via: (12 points max.) a. creation of new routes b. removal of barrier to mobility c. closure of gaps d. other improvements to routes e. educates or encourages use of existing routes Highway 101 serves as the Main Street for Crescent City with substantial pedestrian and bicycle activity, but is designed to State highway standards with limited bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Crescent City and its regional partners have long recognized the barrier this creates for active transportation users, and have been proactively addressing the issue with a two pronged approach that includes both improvements to Highway 101 and constructing cost effective parallel routes off the highway system. The Sunset Circle project falls into the latter category, and is the final improvement to the Coastal Trail that will close a gap in between the City s Harbor Trail North and the recently constructed Harbor District Trail. For local commuters, this will provide a safer route to and from Downtown Crescent City and the Elk Valley Rancheria neighborhood. These users must currently choose between walking or bicycling on inconsistent and limited facilities on Highway 101, or using Sunset Circle, which has no bicycle or pedestrian improvements. Figure 3 Connecting the community to local destinations Page 6

13 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 For local residents, the project will create a safer and more inviting environment for recreational activities. On sunny weekends, the existing trails on either side of the project are crowded with people enjoying the amenities of the region, including Beachfront Park, the Battery Point Lighthouse, Crescent Beach, the Harbor, and South Beach. This project will complete a network of high quality bicycle and pedestrian facilities that will connect these destinations to each other. For visiting tourists, the trail will be located adjacent to established lodging, tourist destinations, and a recreational vehicle campground. It will create an apparent route for visitors unfamiliar with the City to walk or bicycle to both the Harbor and Downtown Crescent City. C. Referencing the answers to A and B above, describe how the proposed project represents one of the Implementing Agencies (and/or project Partnering Agency s) highest unfunded non motorized active transportation priorities. (6 points max.) The Del Norte Local Transportation Commission recently completed an Active Transportation Plan for Del Norte County that studied active transportation projects at a regional level. Sunset Circle was one of four focus projects identified in the plan that will have the most significant benefit to the region, will improve the safety of the existing active transportation network, and are the most cost effective to construct. Sunset Circle rose to the top of this list as a connection to both the Harbor and existing facilities on Elk Valley Road. This makes the Sunset Circle project a top priority not only for Crescent City, but for the Del Norte County region as a whole. This is a significant distinction for the project. The Active Transportation Plan identified approximately 50 regional projects that are documented in the Regional Transportation Plan, Crescent City General Plan, Del Norte County General Plan, Harbor Master Plan, Trail Planning Report, Transit Development Plan Update, Bicycle Facilities Plan Update, Safe Routes to School Research and Policy Report, and Safe Routes to School Audits. These fifty projects were evaluated holistically based on five criteria including the potential to increase bicycle and pedestrian use, improved safety, cost effectiveness, project support, and feasibility. From this evaluation, ten projects were identified as priority projects in the plan and were further vetted in the community through a public engagement process. From these ten priority projects, only four were distinguished as focus projects which included the Sunset Circle Multi Use Trail Project. Page 7

14 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 Part B: Narrative Questions Detailed Instructions for: Question #2 QUESTION #2 POTENTIAL FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER AND/OR RATE OF PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLIST FATALITIES AND INJURIES, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF SAFETY HAZARDS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS. (0 25 POINTS) A. Describe the plan/program influence area or project location s history of collisions resulting in fatalities and injuries to non motorized users and the source(s) of data used (e.g. collision reports, community observation, surveys, audits). (10 points max.) The map below provides the most recent five year history of recorded bicycle and pedestrian accidents in the project area, as recorded by the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) from (2013 accident data is still provisional): Figure 4 Collision Data As shown on the map, there were two injuries on Highway 101 that may have been avoided if a parallel route was provided along Sunset Circle. The pedestrian accident occurred in 2008 because of improper automobile turning. The collision resulted in visible injuries. The bicycle accident occurred in 2011 also because of improper turning. This collision resulted in a complaint of pain. Both accidents were along a stretch of Highway 101 that has approximately 30 driveways creating a significant amount of conflict points between turning automobiles and bicyclists/pedestrians. The proposed route on Sunset Circle will have only four driveway conflict points over the equivalent length, provide a safer route for bicyclists and pedestrians, and eliminate a significant amount of turning conflicts. Page 8

15 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 B. Describe how the project/program/plan will remedy (one or more) potential safety hazards that contribute to pedestrian and/or bicyclist injuries or fatalities; including but not limited to the following possible areas: (15 points max.) Reduces speed or volume of motor vehicles in the proximity of non motorized users. Improves sight distance and visibility between motorized and non motorized users. Eliminates potential conflict points between motorized and non motorized users, including creating physical separation between motorized and non motorized users. Improves compliance with local traffic laws for both motorized and non motorized users. Addresses inadequate traffic control devices. Eliminates or reduces behaviors that lead to collisions involving non motorized users. Addresses inadequate or unsafe traffic control devices, bicycle facilities, trails, crosswalks and/or sidewalks. One of the biggest safety hazards for bicyclists and pedestrians in Del Norte County is Highway 101, especially in the transition zones to the north and south of Crescent City where driver expectations change from the typically rural environment along Highway 101 to the more urban environment through Crescent City. The southern approach in particular, from approximately Anchor Way to Elk Valley Road just south of Sunset Circle, has a fatality collision rate almost four times the state average for a comparable facility. This is due in large part to the abrupt change in bicycle and pedestrian activity near the Harbor after almost 65 miles of uninterrupted rural driving. The northern transition is also dangerous, with the most recent pedestrian fatality occurring this past April. Figure 5 Parallel Facilities to Highway 101 To meet these immediate safety needs, the region has focused on interim projects that provide parallel routes to Highway 101 for bicyclists and pedestrians until more robust improvements can be made on the highway system. This includes the recent construction of the Promenade Trail at the Harbor, and the Page 9

16 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 recommendation in the Active Transportation Plan to designate K Street as a Class III bicycle route. Sunset Circle is a key missing link in this parallel route, and it s incorporation in the overall network will create a safe and convenient route for bicyclists and pedestrians until further safety improvements to Highway 101 can be completed. Page 10

17 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 Part B: Narrative Questions Detailed Instructions for: Question #3 QUESTION #3 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION and PLANNING (0 15 POINTS) Describe the community based public participation process that culminated in the project/program proposal or will be utilized as part of the development of a plan. A. Who: Describe who was engaged in the identification and development of this project/program/plan (for plans: who will be engaged). (5 points max) As part of the Active Transportation Plan, a public survey was circulated throughout Del Norte County to help the project team identify key projects with regional significance to the community. The effort began with a presentation at the Crescent City Del Norte County Chamber of Commerce 2015 Economic Summit which included a gathering of over 150 local business leaders, non profit organizations, educational leaders, high school students, and elected officials. In addition to a presentation on the Active Transportation Plan, project team members hosted an information table discussing the benefits of the various active transportation projects, answered questions about the plan, and collected survey results. Following the Economic Summit, the survey was made available both in a paper and electronic format over the course of two weeks in April The survey was hosted on the Del Norte Local Transportation Commission s website and advertised/distributed by the Chamber of Commerce, Building Healthy Communities, Del Norte County, Crescent City, and local community members. The choice to distribute the survey in both an electronic and paper format gave disadvantaged community members an equal opportunity to participate. Over 200 responses to the survey were collected in a rural and disadvantaged County which speaks to the high level of public interest in active transportation projects and the success of this approach. B. How: Describe how stakeholders were engaged (or will be for a plan). (4 points max) For each of the ten priority projects identified in the Active Transportation Plan, the survey asked the following questions: 1) Do you currently walk or bicycle in the immediate area? (Frequently/Sometimes/Never) 2) Would you walk or bicycle if new facilities were constructed? (Frequently/Sometimes/Never) 3) Should this project be a high, medium, or low priority? (High/Medium/Low) The fourth and final question asked participants to select the three most important projects they would like to see constructed. While there are multiple factors that went into the prioritization of specific projects, Page 11

18 01 Crescent City 2 ATP Cycle 2 Part B & C 2015 public input from these questions were weighted heavily in the project team s overall decision on focus projects. The intent of the first survey question was to provide an anecdotal account of where local residents are currently walking and bicycling in the community considering that county wide bicycle and pedestrian modeling at each location would have been cost prohibitive. The second question was asked specifically to identify projects that will have the biggest increase in active transportation modes of travel. The third and fourth questions were used to identify public priorities to assist the project team with identifying the focus projects. A copy of the survey is provided in Attachment I 2. C. What: Describe the feedback received during the stakeholder engagement process and describe how the public participation and planning process has improved the project s overall effectiveness at meeting the purpose and goals of the ATP. (5 points max) As shown in the charts below, Sunset Circle was in the top 3 projects for the first two questions for current and future active transportation mode shares, and was one of the top scoring projects in questions 3 and 4: Figure 6 Public Survey Question 1 Response Page 12

Describe the alternatives that were considered and how the ATP related benefits vs. project costs varied between them. Explain why the final proposed alternative is considered to have the highest Benefit to Cost Ratio (B/C) with respect to the ATP purpose of increased use of active modes of transportation. (3 points max.) One of the ancillary benefits of the project is that it will provide a parallel route to the proposed Hobbs Wall Trail. The Hobbs Wall trail is a joint effort between Crescent City, Del Norte County, and the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park to create a shared use path between eastern Crescent City and Redwood National and State Park. The project was identified as a regional priority in the 2011 Regional Transportation Plan, but has since proven to be cost prohibitive because of environmental mitigation and right of way requirements. The Hobbs Wall Trail was downgraded as a priority in the recently approved Active Transportation Plan, which identified Sunset Circle as the missing link in a cost effective route to Redwood National and State Park. The eastern terminus of the Sunset Circle project will tie into existing Class II and sidewalk facilities on Elk Valley Road, which will provide a comparable route for both bicyclists and pedestrians as the Hobbs Wall Trail, at a fraction of the cost. Recent construction cost estimates for the Hobbs Wall trail exceeded $3 million, whereas the Sunset Circle Project will be constructed for $850,000 and will provide a comparable benefit.

Class II (Bike Lane) Provides a striped lane for one-way bike travel on a street or highway. Class III (Bike Route) A signed route along a street or highway which provides a shared-use with other vehicles. The 2008 American Community Survey from the US Census provides information on the mode of travel to work. According to the Census, only 1 percent of Del Norte workers biked to work while nearly 5 percent walked to work. Additionally, 36 percent of the County residents commute time is 10 minutes or less. This indicates that an improved bicycle network could encourage bicycle use. The majority of existing non-motorized facilities in Del Norte County is Class III bikeways (shared use with pedestrians or motor vehicle traffic); however Class I and Class II routes are being built and upgraded. Major bikeways in the county include: Pacific Coast Bike Route: The overall route runs from Vancouver, British Columbia to Imperial Beach, California along the Pacific Ocean coast. In total, the route encompasses 1,830 miles. Within Del Norte County, the route begins at the Oregon border and generally follows US Highway 101 except in northern Crescent City where it follows Northcrest Drive to Lake Earl Drive and in Smith River where it follows, Sarina Road to First Street to Fred Haight Drive and is classified as a Class II and Class III bikeway, depending on location. Coastal Trail: The California Coastal Trail (CCT) is a network of public trails for walkers, bikers, equestrians, wheelchair riders along the California Coastline. The trail is roughly half complete. Per the RTP Guidelines, RTPAs must address the CCT in their RTPs. In the Del Norte region, the Coastal Trail (a small portion of the CCT) is a joint project between Del Norte, Crescent City and the Harbor Page 48 Del Norte 2011 Regional Transportation Plan Final Plan

48 District and will have four segments. Travelling north to south: Point St. George Trail, Pebble Beach Trail, Lighthouse Trail and Harbor Trail. The route is classified as Class I, II and III bikeways, depending on location, and extends along Pebble Beach Drive, 5 th Street, B Street and A Street from Point St. George to Battery Point Lighthouse parking lot, to the Cultural Center on Front Street, passing south of the Crescent City limits along the harbor to Anchor Way and US 101. This route is intended for many users, including commuters and recreational bicyclists. Not all segments of this trail have been constructed, and improvements are planned for the areas that currently use public streets. Existing segments of the Coastal Trail are: Pebble Beach Trail - B Street from Lighthouse Trail to 2nd Street - 2nd from B Street to A Street - A Street from 2nd Street to 5th Street - 5th Street from A Street to Pebble Beach - Pebble Beach from 5th to City Limits Lighthouse Trail - Battery Point Lighthouse to Front Street (Cultural Center) Harbor Trail - Front Street (from the Cultural Center) to Sunset Circle and Vance - Through the Harbor - Starfish Way to Anchor Way - Anchor Way to Highway Class I & III: From Cultural Center to City Limits via Sunset Circle Coastal Trail - Pebble Beach - South Beach to Enderts Beach - False Klamath Cove to Requa Crescent City has a system of exiting bikeways that provide access to schools, businesses and residential areas, and are primarily used by commuters and recreational bicyclists. These bikeways include: Class II - Washington Blvd from Parkway Drive to Pebble Beach Drive - Inyo Street from Hamilton Avenue to Washington Blvd - Hamilton Avenue from Inyo Street to Eldorado Street Class III - Fresno Street from Hamilton Avenue to Pacific Avenue - Pacific Avenue from the H Street and Meridian Street intersection to Pebble Beach Drive - Northcrest Drive from Washington Blvd to Blackwell Road Additional Class II and Class III bikeways are located in other areas within Del Norte.
