1 INTROUTION 3.7 TRNSPORTTION, IRULTION, N PRKING This IR section analyzes the potential for adverse impacts on existing transportation and traffic conditions resulting from implementation of the proposed project. ata used to prepare this section were taken from the Traffic Study prepared by ehr and Peers (ppendix 3.7). This traffic analysis has been conducted to identify and evaluate the impacts that traffic generated by additional special events at the Rose owl stadium will have on the surrounding roadway network. The traffic analysis follows ity of Pasadena traffic study guidelines and is consistent with traffic impact assessment guidelines set forth in the 24 ongestion Management Program (MP) for Los ngeles ounty. This traffic analysis evaluated potential project-related impacts at 66 intersections and 27 roadway segments in the vicinity of the project site. XISTING ONITIONS Vehicular Site ccess The Rose owl is located west of the oothill reeway (I-21) and north of the Ventura reeway (SR 134) in the northeastern portion of the ity of Pasadena. ccess to the various parking lots would be provided on North rroyo oulevard, Rosemont venue, West Washington oulevard, Seco Street, and West rive. igure shows the Rose owl Stadium and the surrounding parking lots. Non-utomobile ccess Pasadena rea Rapid Transit System (RTS) Route 51/52 provide service along Seco Street, approximately.25-mile south of the Stadium. There is a bicycle/walking trail in a loop on West rive/seco Street/Rosemont venue/west Washington oulevard around the Stadium and rookside Golf ourse. Major streets leading to the Rose owl provide pedestrian facilities on both sides of the street. Parking s shown in igure 3.7-1, there are various parking lots available for use around the Stadium, which provide approximately 21,518 parking spaces. n additional 4,5 parking spaces are provided at the Parsons parking lot (located at 1 West Walnut Street). Shuttle (transit) service between the Parsons Lot and Parking Lot at the Rose owl typically opens 3 hours before the start of an event.

2 3.7 Transportation, irculation, and Parking xisting Street Network Regional ccess The Rose owl is located west of the oothill reeway (I-21) and north of the Ventura reeway (SR 134) in the northeastern portion of the ity of Pasadena. Regional access to this area is provided by the Pasadena reeway (I-11), the oothill reeway (I-21), and the Ventura reeway (SR 134). The Glendale reeway (SR 2) connects with SR 134 and I-21 west and northwest of the proposed project, respectively. ccess to the various parking lots would be provided North rroyo oulevard, Rosemont venue, Seco Street, and West rive. The existing street system in the study area consists of a roadway system including freeways, principal, secondary arterials, collector, and local streets. The following defines each of the different street classifications according to the ity s 24 Mobility lement categories: reeways reeways are high-capacity facilities that primarily serve longer distance travel. ccess is limited to interchanges typically spaced at least 1 mile apart. Principal rterials Roadways designated as principal arterials are typically major roads that are not limited-access freeways. In Pasadena, these facilities serve travel between the ity and its neighboring jurisdictions. Minor rterials Roadway segments classified as Minor rterials are major roads that provide connections within the ity, between the ity and neighboring areas, and through the ity (cutthrough traffic). rterials in Pasadena typically have two lanes in each direction, with travel speeds of 3 to 35 miles per hour (mph). Major ollectors Major ollectors are facilities that connect local streets to the arterial and highway system, and may also provide direct access to local land uses. ollectors typically have one lane in each direction, with speeds of 25 to 35 mph. Minor ollectors - Minor ollectors are smaller facilities that connect local streets to the arterial and highway system, and may also provide direct access to local land uses. ollectors typically have one lane in each direction, with speeds of 25 to 35 mph. Local Streets - These streets primarily feed collector roads and are typically one lane in each direction, with speeds of 2 to 25 mph.

14 3.7 Transportation, irculation, and Parking Special vent Traffic Management Traffic control plans for Rose owl events are developed and implemented under the direction of the ity of Pasadena Police epartment (PP). Varying plans are employed based on the anticipated attendance figures. or example, a PP helicopter is utilized to assist traffic control operations staff on the ground for events that are anticipated to draw more than 2, persons. Police personnel are positioned at key traffic decision points on the perimeter of the arrival travel routes. rriving traffic can be diverted to another travel route to obtain a better distribution of parking loading since the traffic personnel are in direct radio contact with the Police helicopter and the police stationed in the Rose owl Traffic ontrol ommand enter (located in the press box). s drivers near the Rose owl, the level of traffic control and Police personnel increases. or larger events, temporary changeable message signs (MS) on SR-134 and I-21 are deployed in coordination with the State of alifornia epartment of Transportation (altrans), and are used to create a more even traffic distribution. urrently for UL ootball events, the PP deploys uniformed officers to over 3 posts at all major intersections in the rroyo Seco and along key roadways leading to and from the regional freeway system. These officers manage reversible lane operations and direct traffic. Offset Traffic Operations Summary uring times of Rose owl event peak arrival and departure periods, offset traffic flow is provided along Salvia anyon Road and on Seco Street (both near Rosemont venue and just north of Linda Vista venue). Traffic cones and barricades are placed to provide an additional lane for motorists offset from the normal centerline (e.g., two inbound and two outbound lanes become three inbound and one outbound lane). On Seco Street, three inbound travel lanes are provided prior to the event with the fourth lane remaining outbound to accommodate outbound traffic as well as emergency vehicles. Salvia anyon Road is also operated in this fashion. Summary of Other Traffic ontrol Measures Rosemont venue, between Orange Grove oulevard and Seco Street, under normal conditions, provides one through travel lane in each direction. uring special event arrival periods, Rosemont venue is converted to two inbound travel lanes and during the special event departure periods, it is converted to two outbound travel lanes. The intersection of Seco Street and Rosemont venue also is controlled during special events. Most of the southbound Rosemont venue traffic is directed via barricades and police personnel to exit east via Seco Street. It should be noted that when traffic flow on Seco Street occasionally experiences a backup toward Impact Sciences, Inc Temporary Use of the Rose owl Stadium by the NL ugust 212

15 3.7 Transportation, irculation, and Parking the Rosemont venue intersection, police personnel will re-direct southbound Rosemont venue existing traffic to continue to head south on Rosemont venue toward Orange Grove oulevard. astbound Seco Street traffic and the exiting rea H driveways on Seco Street are directed to make a right turn to exit via southbound Rosemont venue toward Orange Grove oulevard. These measures help to expedite the post-event departures and alleviate congestion at this intersection. questrian Trail and Recreational (Rose owl Loop) Users urrently, equestrian trails are provided within the entral rroyo Seco area along with both the east and west sides of the Rose owl area (e.g., along the west side of West rive, along the western portion of parking lot, along the east side of the flood control channel, along the east side of Rosemont venue, north of Washington oulevard, etc.). In addition, an equestrian staging area is provided near the rookside Park golf clubhouse, near the northern portion of parking lot. The equestrian trail also crosses portions of existing roadways (e.g., Salvia anyon, Parkview Street, etc.). The Rose owl loop consists of an approximately 5-kilometer loop and is currently utilized for recreational activities including walking, running, and cycling. The loop consists of Seco Street (between Rosemont venue and West rive), West rive (between Seco Street and Washington oulevard), Washington oulevard (between West drive and Rosemont venue), and Rosemont venue (between Washington oulevard and Seco Street). uring large-scale special events at the Rose owl, it is noted that the potential for conflicts between trail/loop users and special event vehicular traffic and pedestrians is higher than on non-event days.

I-21 reeway Ramp & oothill oulevard (ity of La anada) Intersection Level of Service Methodology The Intersection apacity Utilization (IU) method of intersection capacity analysis determines the intersection V/ ratio and corresponding LOS for the turning movements and intersection characteristics at signalized intersections. apacity represents the maximum volume of vehicles in the critical lanes that have a reasonable expectation of passing through an intersection in 1 hour under prevailing roadway and traffic conditions. The IU ratios used in this study were calculated by dividing critical traffic movement volumes at an intersection by the capacity per number of lanes for the movement. Per consultation with the ity of Pasadena epartment of Transportation (POT) and in conformance with their traffic study guidelines, a capacity of 1,7 vehicles per lane per hour was used for the analysis. POT also specify that non-signalized intersections shall be evaluated as two-phase signalized intersections, with a reduced capacity of 1,2 vehicles per lane per hour for the stop-controlled approaches.

22 3.7 Transportation, irculation, and Parking Intersection Level of Service Level of Service (LOS) categories range from excellent, nearly free-flow traffic at LOS to overloaded, stop-and-go conditions at LOS. Table provides LOS definitions for signalized intersections using the IU methodology The LOS definitions, ranges of delay, and ranges of V/ ratio shown in these tables represent average conditions for all vehicles at an intersection across an entire hour. elays longer than the average condition may be experienced by motorists on certain movements and/or during peak times within the peak hour. Table Level of Service efinitions for Signalized Intersections IU Methodology Level of Service Volume/apacity efinition..6 XLLNT. No vehicle waits longer than one red light and no approach phase is fully used. >.6.7 VRY GOO. n occasional approach phase is fully utilized; many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of vehicles. >.7.8 GOO. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; backups may develop behind turning vehicles. >.8.9 IR. elays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive backups. >.9 1. POOR. Represents the most vehicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long lines of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. >1. ONGST ONITIONS. ackups from nearby locations or on cross street may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue lengths.
