Station Area Master Plan – Transportation Context

Signals Traffic and pedestrian signals are provided at the intersections of Monterey Road with Main Avenue, Second Street, and Dunne Avenue. Controlled pedestrian crossings are provided at these locations. New traffic signals will be installed at the intersection of Monterey Road and Fourth Street in late Summer / early Fall of 2017. The signal will provide controlled pedestrian crossing of Monterey Road near the parking structure enhancing its accessibility. Traffic Volumes and Roadway Operations The following table (Table 1-3) presents the existing and projected future daily two-way roadway segment traffic volumes and levels of service (LOS) for roadways in the Station Area from the DEIR for City’s 2035 General Plan. LOS is a qualitative description of roadway operations with LOS A representing conditions with little to no congestion and LOS F representing conditions where the roadway is over capacity for several hours of the day. These roadways are operating at LOS C (which represents a sufficient operating level) and LOS D (which represents stable operations).
