These are new facilities. The purpose is to get the good and bad ideas from each as input to the architect on design of the possible new stadium here. The tour will leave by minibus midafternoon on Monday, July 24th. We would tour Lancaster and see part of a game. We would then drive to Ontario to spend the night. On the 25th, we would tour stadiums in Rancho Cucamunga, San Bernardino and Lake Elsinore, returning to Bakersfield around 6:30 - 7:00 p.m. The Pattons, owners of the Blaze, have also been invited. We well understand the difficulties of your schedules, so it is clear why it may not be possible. Those who were able to tour the Grand Rapids arena found it to be worthwhile, however. If you are able to attend, please let Rhonda know, or call me if you have questions. AT:al RECEIVED B A K E R S F I E L D ClTY MANAGER'SOF PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Raul Rojas, Public Works Director DATE: July 13, 2000 SUBJECT: "Your23 Editorial" regarding existing traffic and "KERN RIVER FREEWAY" Attached is the Traffic Engineer's response to the July 8, 2000 KERO-TV editorial concerning synchronization of traffic lights and widening of roads to improve traffic flow. Attachment G: ~G RO U PDA'r~lem o~2000[Your23Edit orial_J ulyS._00.wl~l BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM . TO: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR _ ,~,~.~ ri FROM: STEPHEN L. WALKER, PUBLIC WORKS TRAFFIC ENGINEE~/.J,,'///~ J DATE: July 12, 2000 ~ SUBJECT: TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S RESPONSE TO "YOUR 23 EDITORIAL" REGARDING EXISTING TRAFFIC AND KERN RIVER FREEWAY. Television Station KERO-23 produced an "editorial" which aired on July 8, 2000. The subject of the editorial was the Kern River Freeway and how the City must be conspiring to make traffic worse, thus justifying the project. The "editorial" asks, "Have you ever noticed how the city has never synchronized the traffic lights on Rosedale, Ming or Stockdale ?" According to Traffic Engineering staff, no one from KERO has called asking about any of those streets and synchronization of traffic signals. If they had done so, they would have found out that Ming Avenue, from Castro Lane through Ashe Road is fully synchronized for priority traffic flow all day long. They would also have been informed that Stockdale Highway is likewise synchronized from Oak/Wible to Coffee/Gosford, with the exception of the Kern County signal at Fairway Drive. These major arterials were some of the first road segments, outside of the downtown, to be synchronized in the early 1980s. They would have also been informed that the City does not synchronize Rosedale Highway because it is NOT a City street. Only about one and a half miles out of eight miles of road in the urban area is even within the City limits. The State Of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) does synchronize the signals on State Highway 58 (Rosedale Highway) from Highway 99 to Landco Drive. The statement by KERO-23 in the "editorial" has no basis in fact and was apparently not even researched by the editorial staff of KERO-23. If the "editorial" had instead questioned that streets such as Ming, Stockdale or even Rosedale need improvement in their traffic synchronization of traffic flow, I would agree with them. These streets are steadily increasing in traffic and though improvements are performed regularly, additional improvements will always be needed. Because of the congestion increases, Traffic Engineering continues to modify and adapt the signal timing and synchronization to try and meet the traffic demand. The problem is that much of the time there is simply too much traffic for the roads to handle and the signal synchronization then fails, what traffic engineers call "cycle failure". This traffic term describes the condition where there is more traffic than the signals can accommodate, no matter how the timing is programed or how the signal is synchronized. This is one reason why an alternative like the Kern River Freeway, or similar facility, is needed to reduce traffic impacts to major streets. Other factors can also disrupt traffic signal synchronization. For example, the use Page I of 2 of the emergency vehicle preemption devices on both Ming and Stockdale negatively affect the signal synchronization. The Fire Department stations near these two streets respond to a high number of calls, according to Fire Department information, causing many short disruptions of the signal synchronization throughout a typical day. This is a necessary function to provide a high level of fire protection, but one that does cause signal problems on a high volume street and it presents a challenge to maintain traffic flow afterwards. The "editorial" also asks, "Or how about the streets that haven't been widened to handle traffic, like BrimhallRoad?" Hardly any roads in the City are built by the City. They are built by development as new housing or commercial projects are constructed. But sometimes the City needs to help move things along faster than development is moving. This is the case with Brimhall Road since development does not appear likely for several years on the north side of the road, west of Coffee. According to Engineering Services Manager Jack LaRochelle, the Public Works Department started work on a widening project for Brimhall Road last year. The Department is already in the process of completing the design and the right of way acquisition to widen Brimhall Road to handle the traffic. The editorial staff of KERO-23 apparently did not research the status of this project either. The "editorial" also asserts that the City has "175 million dollars just sitting there" and that the City should "use money to synch up traffic lights on Rosedale, Stockdale and Ming, and widen Brimhall Road so it can handle traffic." It is my understanding that this money is not just sitting in a bank account that the City can tap into whenever it wants to do so for any project. The money is designated for a specific use, the Kern River Freeway, through Caltrans and the Kern Council of Governments; it cannot be used for traffic signal synchronization or for the widening of Brimhall Road. Again, the editorial staff of KERO-23 apparently did not research any of the funding limitations associated with the Kern River Freeway in preparing this "editorial" piece. In summary, the "editorial" by KERO-23 contains false information and is without merit. Traffic signals are synchronized, roads are in the process of being widened and Traffic Engineering staff works to improve traffic flow on a regular basis. cc: Traffic Engineering slw: S:\WP\CC_REFS\TV23TrafficSig&KernFwyEditorial.

Have you ever noticed how the city has never synchronized the traffic lights on Rosedale, Ming or Stockdale? Or how about the streets that haven't been widened to handle traffic, like Brimhall Road? Seems pretty odd to us. There's money just sitting there for the Kern River Freeway...175- million dollars just sitting there. Caltrans and even the United States Depaxtment of the Interior say that the Kern River Freeway is a bad idea. We need to concentrate on improvements that can be made now. Let's use money to synch up traffic lights on Rosedale, Stockdale and Ming, and widen Brimhall Road so it can handle the traffic. That's our solution...what do you think? THIS EDITORIAL ORIGINALLY AIRED JULY 8, 2000 .... BY KERO-TVPRESIDENT AND GENERAL' MANAGER DON LUNDY RECEIVED B A K E R $ F I £ L D PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: JULY 13, 2000 ///// TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER /~/ FROM: RAUL M. ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS ~IRECTOR// SUBJECT: PROPOSED Q STREET GRADE SEPARATION ~ UNION PACIFIC R.R. The priority list of potential grade separation projects was recently adopted by the State Public Utilities Commission (PUC). One of the projects on the list is Q Street at the Union Pacific Railway located just north of Golden State Avenue (currently ranked 14th). Staff has asked the Grade Separation District to analyze this project with respect to its potential for being reached for funding. The attached letter outlines the proposed projects status with respect to funding. It appears the project is reachable for funding provided preliminary engineering is completed in the not to distant future. The District is willing to fund the preliminary engineering which will better determine roadway alignments, potentially affect properties and overall costs. This project proposes to remove only one at-grade crossing. The existing crossing near McCarthy Steel would remain intact. Based on our history of successfully attracting state money for grade separation projects, I would recommend we move forward with preliminary engineering by the District in order to obtain the information necessary to proceed. cc: Jack LaRochelle July 6, 2000 112-01 Mr. Jacques R. LaRochelle Public Works Departmem City. of Bakersfield 1501 Tmxtun Avenue Bakersfield, CA. 93301 REF: Proposed Q Street Underpass at Union Pacific Railroad Dear Jack: Recently in a telephone conversation, you indicated the City may have a desire to accomplish a separation of grade at the Q Street/Union Pacific Railroad crossing. You asked if the Greater Bakersfield Separation of Grade District Would entertain making a request ~for allocation under the State Grade Separation Program. In order to obtain funding for a given project we generally accomplish what we refer to as Phase I preliminary engineering. This work would consist of: · Defining a geometric configuration ...... Preparing an estimate for construction, right of way and related costs · Negotiating a construction and maintenance railroad agreement · Obtaining an "authorization to construct' from the PUC · Passing a City Council resolution stating that matching funds will be made available for the project · Filing a formal request for allocation to Caltrans on or before April 2, 2001 for fiscal year 2000-2001 The cost to complete Phase I engineering is estimated at $50,000 to $60,000. The concept of having a project "on the shelf" and ready for allocation has served us well in the past. Several times we have been funded when a higher-ranking project is unable to complete the prerequisites for funding. Further, fiscal year 2000-2001 is the first year of a two-year priority list ranked by the PUC. Higher ranked and more complicated projects tend J. LaRochelle 112-01 July 6, 2000 Page 2 to slide into the second year funding. Once the allocation request is made, it is a relatively simple matter to resubmit the request for allocation in subsequent years. The PUC priority ranking for Q Street at the Union Pacific is//14 for fiscal years 2000-2001 and 2001-2002. We are currentlY trying to determine the "state of readiness" for higher- ranking projects to get some idea of the probability of receiving funding. This matter was a topic of discussion at the District Board of Commissioners meeting held June 26, 2000. The Board directed me to investigate the probability of obtaining funds from fiscal year 2000-2001 and to request a letter from the Public Works Director, or City Manager, formally requesting the District to proceed with an allocation request and expressing in writing the City's willingness to commit at the appropriate time to pay the local agency's share of such project cost. Due to balancing and supplemental allocations, it appears only about $10 million will be available for allocation in the 2000-2001 fiscal year. There are several active higher-ranking projects. I hope to have a better assessment of higher-ranking projects in the next few days. The current nomination shows a cost estimate of $7,145,000. This estimate is based on very preliminary information. AssUming a $5.0 million allocation and 10% funding by the railroad, a $7.0 million project would require a $1.3 million local match. A $7.5 million or $8.0 million project would require $1.75 million or $2.2 million, respectively. After your initial review., of this letter, please contact me for any clarification or further discussion.

Mr. James Burger, Staff Writer, for the Bakersfield Californian was contacted. Mr. Burger informed staff that there would not be any cost for printing a weekly Street Sweeping Schedule in the Public Notice section of The Bakersfield Californian. However, judging from his experience, he guessed that approximately 25 to 30 per cent of City residents would become aware of the Sweeping Schedule. This method alone will not be completely effective for notifying all residents of a sweeping schedule. Staff recommends the use of door-hangers (SEE ATTACHED) in addition to placing a notice in The Bakersfield Californian to insure that all residents are informed of the street sweeping schedule. Three additional Sweeper Operators and sweepers were recently approved within the Fiscal Year 2000/01 Budget. This will assure once a month sweeping of residential areas and will enable us to maintain a two-week sweeping cycle on major streets. The additional sweepers will be ordered and it will be approximately December 2000 before the sweepers would be available. A recruitment for Sweeper Operators will be requested and hopefully the positions Can be filled by November 2000 and be operational by January of 2001. We will select areas for implementing a Schedule Sweeping Program, notify residents by using the door-hangers and The Bakersfield Californian for one sweeping route from each ward included in this first phase. We will then evaluate its effectiveness and report to the Council in June 2001, as to whether it can be extended to the rest of the City. - Page 1 of 2 Pages - Currently, if a resident calls and states the area in front of their house was not swept because they could not move their vehicle in time, the sweeper operator is contacted and ordered to go back and sweep the missed area. Once the Sweeping Schedule is implemented, it will then become difficult for the sweeper operator to return to an area after a vehicle is moved. This will be a change to our normal routine which may or may not affect the resident. Rubber stamps have been ordered and will be used to fill in the blank spaces on the door- hangers such as the day of the month and the time that the area will be swept. We will continue to seek a way where each sweeping cycle will not interfere with trash pick up days. We will continue to keep Council aware of changes that may occur in regards to the plan of implementing a Schedule Sweeping Program.
