Preliminarily approve of the Business Improvement District (BID) Advisory Board's 2019 Annual Report for the BID (Attachment A) and; 2. Adopt a Resolution of Intention to Levy Assessments in the Palo Alto Downtown Business Improvement District for Fiscal Year 2019 (Attachment B), setting a date and time for the public hearing on the levy of the proposed assessments for June 11, 2018, at 6:00 PM, or thereafter, in the City Council Chambers. Executive Summary This City Council action (a) preliminarily approves the BID Advisory Board's annual report, and (b) sets a time and place for a public hearing to receive a presentation by the Palo Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association (PADBPA), the entity with which the City contracts to provide services to businesses in the Downtown, and consider any objections to the assessments. PADBPA addresses issues facing downtown businesses such as cleanliness, safety, and attractiveness. PADBPA also assists with communication about the City's capital improvement projects such as Upgrade Downtown, the new parking garage, mobility projects and other City policy matters affecting downtown businesses. Assessments for BID businesses are based on the size, type and location of the business. Assessments range from $50 for individually owned professional businesses to $500 annually for financial institutions. The PADBPA has monthly open meetings governed by the Brown Act which any business or individual can attend. Background City of Palo Alto Page 1 The BID was established by the City Council in 2004 pursuant to the California Parking and Business Improvement Area Law to maintain economic vitality and physical maintenance of the Palo Alto Downtown business district. The Council appointed PADBPA, a non-profit corporation, as the Advisory Board for the BID. PADBPA acting through its independent Board of Directors advises the Council on the method and basis for levy of assessments in the BID and the expenditure of revenues derived from the assessments. Pursuant to BID law, PADBPA must annually submit to the Council a report that proposes a budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year for the BID. The report must: 1) propose any boundary changes in the BID; 2) list the improvements and activities to be provided in the Fiscal Year; 3) estimate the cost to provide the improvements and activities; 4) set forth the method and basis for levy of assessments; 5) identify surplus or deficit revenues carried over from the prior Fiscal Year; and 6) identify amounts of contributions from sources other than assessments. Each year the Council: 1) reviews the report and preliminarily approves it as proposed or with modifications; 2) adopts a resolution of intention to levy the assessments for the upcoming Fiscal Year; and 3) sets a date and time for the public hearing on the levy of assessments in the BID. Absent a majority protest at the public hearing proposed for June 11, 2018, at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Council may adopt a resolution confirming the report for Fiscal Year 2019 as filed or as modified by the Council. The adoption of the resolution constitutes the levying of the BID assessments for Fiscal Year 2019. The proposed BID budget for Fiscal Year 2019 was reviewed and approved by PADBPA at their May 9, 2018 meeting. The budget reduced expenses by $22,464 as noted in the Annual Report. As required by BID law, the report has been filed with the City Clerk and contains a list of the improvements, activities, and associated costs proposed in the BID for Fiscal Year 2019. Resource Impact The BID is set up as a separate fund within the City's general ledger and does not impact the general fund. Per the contract with PADBPA, the City acts as the collection agent for BID revenues and reimburses PADBPA's expenses after receipt and verification of invoices. Upon approval of the Annual Report, the City designates funds for reimbursement according to the approved budget. Revenues are collected throughout the fiscal year to offset BID expenses. Additional resources included staff time from the City Manager's Office and Development Services Department to provide oversight to the BID, administer the contract with MuniServices, liaise with stakeholders and prepare the annual reauthorization.

Downtown Palo Alto • Palo Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association Annual Report 2018-19 Prepared by Russ Cohen, Executive Director Introduction This report from the Advisory Board of the Palo Alto Downtown Business & Professional Association ("PADB&PA") was prepared for City Council to review for the annual reauthorization of the Downtown Palo Alto Business Improvement District ("BID") pursuant to Section 36533 of the Parking and Business Improvement Law of 1989 (Section 36500 and following of the California Streets and Highways code) (the "Law"). This report is for the proposed fiscal year for the BID commencing July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019. ("Fiscal Year 2018-19"). As required by the Law, this report contains the following information: I. Any proposed changes in BID boundaries and benefit zones within the BID; II. The improvements and activities to be provided for Fiscal Year 2018-19; III. An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements and the activities for Fiscal Year 2018- 19; IV. The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for Fiscal Year 2018-19. V. The amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year. VI. The amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to the Law. Submitted by Brad Ehikian, Chair, and Russ Cohen, Executive Director on behalf of the Advisory Board ("Advisory Board") of the Palo Alto Downtown Business & Professional Association ("PADB&PA"). The Advisory Board approved this report on May 9, 2018. Received on file in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of Palo Alto on May 9, 2018. On June 6, 2016, City Council directed City staff to work with PAd to: 1. Review mechanisms for modifying the Fee Structure to require larger companies to pay a larger portion of the district costs; and 2. Review mechanisms for modifying the contract with the Downtown Business and Professional Association so that activities are not construed to include lobbying; and 3. Investigate other structures for the Business Improvement District (BID) that may provide a more efficient use of the funds that minimizes staff and administrative overhead and focuses more on direct services; and 4. Evaluate the boundaries of the BID to align with other Downtown boundaries. On November 22, 2016 PADB&PA issued a letter to the City further elaborating on the City Council's direction. During the Fiscal Year 2018 reauthorization, City staff and PAd informed City Council that work had been done with regards to define appropriate and inappropriate uses of District funds, including the Association's work as a liaison between businesses and City departments, advocacy on behalf of member businesses, and lobbying. During Fiscal Year 2018, the PADB&PA taskforce designated to resolve this matter also reviewed the assessment structure and district boundaries. As noted in the November 22, 2016 letter PADB&PA does not support changing the boundaries. This position did not change in discussion with City staff. Regarding the more efficient use of funds, as part of the Fiscal Year 2019 budget PAd is reducing the budget by $22,464 with the elimination of $8,500 for invoicing, reducing contingencies by $2,500, banners by $7,000, location specific banner by $1,264, events by $700, outreach and communication by $500, and contributions to Downtown Street team by $2,000. PADB&PA is aware that Fiscal Year 2018 Revenue are trending low compared to previous years. Additionally, that revenue projections in previous budget were larger than the five year average trend of $97,315. The attached proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2019 further aligns revenues with expenditures. Reducing the PAd budget by $22,464 is a significant change for one year. PADB&PA is working with City staff and the payment collections contractor, MuniServices, to collect revenue from unpaid businesses. PADB&PA's takes great pride in the programs and services that it has contributed since inception. Several are listed here: • Creation of the Downtown Streets Team (PADB&PA started the effort in 2005.) • Display of American Flags during national holidays ( began in 2012.) • Holiday Tree Lighting (this program was brought back in 2011 after a long hiatus.) "Art" benches and replacement of the over twenty year old utilitarian benches (these programs were initiated with both Public Works and Public Arts in 2015.) • Free summer concerts (began in 2013.) • Increase in steam -cleaning sidewalks, replacement of trashcans and increase in patrols of the parking garages (all programs initiated by PAd in conjunction with Public Works, PAPD, Downtown Streets Team and the Parking Assessment District.) • Streetlight banner program branding and promoting downtown as a great destination (began in 2012.) • "No smoking" ordinance and "no amplified music" ordinance (both initiated in 2014.) • Lytton Plaza umbrellas and new foliage (partnership with the PAd, City and the Friends of Lytton Plaza, beginning in 2014.) • University Avenue Tunnels repainting. • Additional partnerships between the City of Palo Alto and the business community for communications about encroachment permit enforcement, downtown infrastructure improvement impacts, Residential Permit Parking issues, TMA, World Music Day and other street closure events. PAd's contribution illustrates the ongoing benefit of an organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for residents and patrons of Downtown Palo Alto. Further accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2018 are listed below in the Annual Report. Section L: BID boundaries and Benefit Zones There have been no changes in the BID boundaries or benefit zones within the BID and no changes are proposed. The current boundaries are depicted on the map below. The area of the BID is referred to as "Downtown." ipl ng Street Waverley St set J Bryant Stree CPA 9Io fecc-raps1g1ss191sleamlmPersonallm era.mabt This document a a 9repbic represent...a only of me city of Palo am assumes no responsibility for any errors 01959 m able e city ofP bam High Street LInle7 West —ale N s[Lc a ma s ` .Alm Street �� Overview: Downtown Palo Alto is a far different place than it was when the organization was founded in 2004. Downtown is now a dynamic, entrepreneurial neighborhood that boasts clean and safe walkable streets, a well balanced confluence of small, medium and large businesses and an almost even balance of independently owned retail and restaurants operating along side national chains. It is a globally recognized mecca for innovating the social and the technical. Without hyperbole, it is not only a valuable asset to the City of Palo Alto; it has become a valuable asset for the rest of the country if not the world. It is the second largest generator of sales tax revenue for the City of Palo Alto, with Apple, Houzz and Pace Gallery being the three largest sales tax generators in downtown. Strategic partnerships, execution and outcomes: Real estate investments in the past decade have drawn the spotlight to the area and paved the way for growth. While some nearby cities have emulated Downtown Palo Alto's live/work/play environment, this growth has not surprisingly resulted in a variety of challenges. To maximize our efforts to address those new and ongoing challenges we brought together partners to facilitate dialogue and develop programs between business, government and non -profits that have resulted in positive outcomes. Programs that help the public good as well as members: • Spearheaded the effort on the systematic replacement of downtown benches to both enhance the esthetics of downtown and inhibit loitering. A combination of a more utilitarian bench design along with a small variety of artful benches have been installed, this in partnership with City of Palo Alto Public Works Division and the Public Arts Commission. Funding to keep and maintin these benches has been secured through a partnership with the Arts Commission and the Public Utilities Department. • Initiated a plan to partner with Zero Waste to enhance the cleanliness of the alleyways throughout downtown. • Designed and managed the downtown lamppost banner program which provided Holiday, Spring and Summer banners and now has compiled a library of banner designs that can be used in years to come. Brand building continues to promote downtown as the special place it is. • Initiated, developed, managed and promoted the 6 week long Summer concert series, "Music On the Plaza" including the development and design of social media, web and print efforts as well as raising the $40K in sponsorships needed to execute the series. We have moved the series to Lytton Plaza and closed a small section of Emerson to accommodate staging in order to accommodate partipants. This move resulted in larger crowds and even larger crowds are anticipated this year. • Met with the Palo Alto Police Department leaders as well as leaders of the Downtown Streets Team to discuss homeless and panhandling issues. As a result, parking garage issues have decreased dramatically and outreach efforts have increased to individuals throughout downtown. • Partnered with the Friends of Lytton Plaza and the City of Palo Alto to maintin umbrellas, foliage, public art and banners to the plaza to enliven and soften the hardscape of the plaza. • Partnered with restaurant group and the California Restaurant Association regarding the possible devlopment of "service fees" as a partial remedy for the rise in operating costs due to impending rise in minimum wage and other rising costs. • Initiated a comprehensive review of all newsrack conditions. Provided City Engineering staff with this report. Met with other municipalities to compare those city's newsrack ordninaces in order to make recommendations regarding how to refine our current ordinance. • Held a public forum regarding the state of retail called, "Brick and Mortality," which brought together industry experts in order for city leadrs and downtown BID members to better understand how to anticipate the challenges that are facing retail today and into the future. It was well attended by a variety of sector from dowtown.

Section III. Budget for 2018-19 The total funds available for activities for this fiscal year are estimated to be $133,500. The budget for providing the activities is set forth as follows: BID 2018/19 Budget INCOME Total Non -Assessment Sources Assessments $112,500 Allowance for Uncollectible Assessments ($25,000) Other Revenue $21,000 $21,000 TOTAL INCOME $133,500 EXPENSES Operating Expenses Staff Salaries Executive Director Salary $74,600 Payroll taxes and expense $17,260 Office Supplies & Expenses $150 Internet/Website/ Phone Maintenance $1000 Reauthorization Advertising $2,690 Audit -Tax Returns $6,500 Legal $1,000 $1,000 Insurance - Liability $2,300 Nominating $1,500 Contingencies $500 Subtotal -- Operating Expenses $107,500 $1,000 Programs, Marketing and Events Banners $1000 Location Specific Banners $0 Summer Concert Series $20,000 $20,000 Events $500 Outreach & Communication $500 Downtown Streets Team $3000 District Opportunity Reserve $1000 Subtotal --Programs, Marketing & Events $26,000 $21,000 TOTAL EXPENSES $133,500 Section IV: Method and Basis of Levying the Assessment Cost Benefit Analysis / Bid Assessments The method and basis of levying the assessment is provided in sufficient detail to allow each business owner to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her business for Fiscal Year 2018-19 and is not changed from the FY 2018-19 assessment. There have been no changes made to the Cost -Benefit Analysis or to the BID Assessments since they were approved by City Council on February 2, 2004. The method of calculation used to determine the cost and benefit to each business located in the BID is described below. The BID assessments are based on three criteria: the type of business, the location of the business and the size of the business. It has been consistently demonstrated that the typical BID program places a higher priority on activities such as commercial marketing. As a result, the retail and restaurant establishments in the BID are assessed more than service and professional businesses in the district. While service -oriented businesses benefit from a BID less than retailers and restaurateurs, they benefit more than professional businesses such as medical, dental, architectural, consultant and legal offices with their minimal advertising and promotion needs. For these reasons, various business types are assessed according to the benefit that they receive from the BID, as follows: ➢ Retail and Restaurant 100% of base amount ➢ Service 75% of base amount ➢ Professional 50% of base amount Exceptions to this rule include financial institutions that are traditionally charged a flat rate regardless of location or size and lodging businesses that are typically charged by total rooms. The location of a business also determines the degree of benefit that accrues to that business. Centrally located businesses tend to benefit more, as do businesses located on the ground floor. For this reason, A and B benefit zones have been identified for the BID. In Palo Alto, Zone A benefit businesses are assessed 100% of the base benefit assessment while Zone B businesses are assessed 75%. A third criterion is used in the BID to determine benefit. This criterion, the size of the business, takes into consideration the number of full time employees employed by the business. Please refer to Attachment 1 for a more complete understanding of the application of these three variables to establish BID benefit. Attachment 2 is the BID assessment for each business located within the BID boundaries. Applying the criteria identified in Attachment 1, a summary of the assessment that applies to each business by size, type and location is outlined. In addition to the Cost -Benefit Analysis, the assessments include the following criteria: ➢ An exemption for "single person professional businesses" that have 25% or fewer full time equivalent ("FTE"), including the business owner. This covers employees who work less than 10 hours a week (based on a 40 hour work week; an FTE equals approximately 2000 hours annually) ) An assessment specifically for "single person businesses" that have 26% FTE to 1 FTE in the professional business category of the BID (An FTE equals approximately 2000 hours annually) ➢ The tiering of other professional businesses by size based (according to benefit) on the "single person business" criteria This outline provides information by which a business can determine its annual assessment based on objective criteria. Except where otherwise defined, all terms shall have the meanings identified below: Definitions of Business Types in the Downtown Business Improvement District Retailers and Restaurants: Businesses that buy or resell goods such as clothing stores, shoe stores, office supplies as well as businesses that sell prepared food and drink. Service Businesses: Businesses that sell services such as beauty or barber shops, repair shops, most automotive businesses, dry cleaners, art and dance studios, printing firms, film processing companies, travel agencies, entertainment businesses such as theatres, etc. Hotel and Lodging: These include businesses that have as their main business the lodging of customers. This is restricted to residential businesses that provide lodging services to customers for less than 30 days. Professional Businesses: Businesses that require advanced and/or specialized licenses or academic degrees such as architects, engineers, attorneys, chiropractors, dentists, doctors, accountants, optometrists, realtors, insurance brokers, venture capital firms, consultants, advertising and marketing professionals and mortgage brokers and similar professions. Financial Institutions: Includes banking, savings and loan institutions and credit unions. Additional clarification on business definitions will be defined according to Section 18.04.030 (Definitions) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code. The Advisory Board recommends that the following businesses be exempt from the BID assessment: ➢ New businesses established in the BID area following the annual assessment for the year in which they locate in the BID area ➢ Non-profit organizations ➢ Newspapers ➢ "Single person professional businesses" that have 25% or less FTE, including the business owner Section V: Revenue Deficit The Assessment calculated shall be paid to the City no later 30 days after receipt of the invoice with the amount of the annual assessment sent by the City. A second notice will be mailed as a reminder to businesses that have not remitted payment by that date. Late payment will be subject to a 10% late fee. Expected expenses for the remainder of FY 18-19 are as follows: Expected expenses for remaining FYE 6/30/2018 Staff Salaries $14,100 Payroll Taxes $3,840 Banners $0000 Downtown Streets Team $0 Rent $0 Insurance/Workers Comp $3076 Audit & Tax Return $6,500 District Opportunity Reserve $0 Nominating/elections $0 Invoicing $0 Office Expense $0 Internet maintenance $119 Reauthorization advertising $2675 Contingencies $100 Outreach & Communication $300 DST $5000 Total Expected Expense $35,710.00 Section VI: Non -assessment Income: It is estimated that $21,000.00 will be raised in fundraising, and sponsor support. Additionally, we anticipate in kind contribution towards expenses for fiscal year 2018-19.

With that trend in mind, retail and restaurant businesses, with their emphasis on, and need for, commercial marketing, are traditionally assessed more than less marketing -sensitive service -oriented or professional -oriented businesses. However, while service -oriented businesses benefit from a BID less than retailers and restaurateurs, they benefit more, (from commercial marketing programs), than professional businesses such as medical, dental and legal offices with their minimal advertising and promotion needs. Therefore, set forth below, is an example of how various business types might be considered regarding the computation of the annual benefit assessment. • Retail and Restaurant: • Service: • Professional: 100% of base amount 75% of base amount 50% of base amount Exceptions to this rule include financial institutions that are traditionally charged a flat rate regardless of location or size and lodging businesses that are typically charged by total rooms. Lodging businesses are assessed based on the total number of rooms because it is a more equitable manner of determining size. Many lodging businesses have many part time employees, but revenues are based on the room occupancies of the hotel, not the goods sold or serviced provided by employees. Criteria 2) Location of Business: Statement Concerning Cost -Benefit Formula For BID Businesses Regarding Location of Business: It has also been consistently demonstrated that the more centrally located businesses tend to benefit from BID activities and services to a greater degree than businesses located toward the periphery of the proposed BID boundaries. Events and activities tend to originate in the central core of the Downtown area and spread benefit to the outer areas with diminishing energy and impact, much like the ripple effect of a stone tossed into a body of calm water. Furthermore, ground floor businesses tend to benefit to a greater degree than businesses located in upper floors. Therefore, in some cases, a new BID's annual benefit assessment formula also takes these street level criteria into account. As mentioned above, special events, fairs, festivals and other activities tend to take place within, or along, the Main Street core rather than in the areas at the periphery of the Downtown core. Additionally, BID -sponsored seasonal decorations, public art projects, street banners and street furniture tend to be located within the immediate core area. Therefore, businesses located within the most central area of the proposed BID are considered to be within "Zone A" which should be considered the primary benefit zone. There is typically a "secondary zone" or "Zone B" within most proposed BID areas. This area receives less benefit than Zone A and should be assessed accordingly. An example of how different zones might be treated regarding the computation of the annual benefit assessment is as follows. • Zone A: 100% of base benefit assessment • Zone B: 75% of base benefit assessment In the case of Downtown Palo Alto, it is recommended that all Zone A upper floor businesses, as well as any other businesses located at the periphery of the proposed BID, be considered as Zone B businesses. Please refer to the map in Attachment I. Criteria 3) Size of Business: Statement Concerning Cost -Benefit Formula For BID Businesses Regarding Size of Business: In approximately 50% of newly established BIDs, a third assessment criterion is used. This criterion involves the size of each individual business that is based upon the businesses' total number of full-time employees. Full-time employees are those working a total of 2,000 hours per year. Part-time employees are grouped into full-time job positions, i.e., two half-time employees total one full-time. Fractions are rounded down to the nearest whole number with no less than one person as a minimum for business. An example of how various business sizes might be treated regarding the computation of the annual benefit assessment is as follows: Retail/Restaurants Service Businesses Small 50% of base amount Under 6 FTE* Under 4 FTE Medium 75% of base amount 6 to under 11 FTE 4 to under 7 FTE Large 100% of base amount 11 or more FTE 7 or more FTE * FTE = full time employees Additionally, an exemption was established for "single person professional businesses" that have 25% or less FTE, including the business owner. This covers employees who work less 10 hours a week (based on a 40 hour work week) Since "single person businesses" that have 26% FTE to 1 FTE in the professional business category of the BID benefit the very least from the assessment, their assessments have been tiered by size based (according to benefit) on the new "single person business" criteria. ATTACHMENT 2 Downtown Palo Alto Business Improvement District Annual BID Assessments ZONE A ZONE B (75% of Zone A amount) Restaurants & Retailers Under 6 FTE (50% of base amount) $225 $170 6 to under 11 FTE (75% of base amount) $340 $260 11 or more FTE (100% of base amount) $450 $340 Service Businesses Under 4 FTE (50% of base amount) $170 $130 4 to under 7 FTE (75% of base amount) $260 $200 Over 7 FTE (100% of base amount) $340 $260 Professional Businesses 25% or fewer FTE, including owner (0% of base amount Exempt Exempt 26% FTE to under 1 FTE (25% of base amount) $60 $50 2 to 4 FTE 50% of base amount $110 $90 5 to 9 FTE 75% of base amount $170 $130 10+ FTE (100% of base amount) $225 $170 Lod in Businesses Up to 20 rooms (50% of base amount) $225 $170 21 to 40 rooms 75% of base amount $340 $260 41+ rooms (100% of base amount) $450 $340 Financial Institutions $500 $500 Note 1: For retail, restaurant, service, and professional businesses, size will be determined by number of employees either full-time or equivalent (FTE) made up of multiples of part-time employees. A full FTE equals approximately 2000 hours annually. Lodging facilities will be charged by number of rooms available and financial institutions will be charged a flat fee. Note 2: Second floor (and higher) businesses located within Zone A will be assessed the same as similar street -level businesses located within Zone B. Note 3: Assessment amounts are rounded to the nearest ten dollars. The minimum assessment will be $50.00.

CITY OF PALO ALTO City of Palo Alto (ID # 9230) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Consent Calendar Meeting Date: 5/29/2018 Summary Title: Amendment to Contract for Public Art with Artist Mary Lucking to Increase Amount by $10,000 Title: Approval of Amendment Number One to Contract Number C17167868 With Artist Mary Lucking to Increase the Contract Amount by $10,000 for the Completion of the Public Art for the Highway 101 Bike and Pedestrian Bridge From: City Manager Lead Department: Community Services Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Council approve the amendment of contract C17167868 with artist Mary Lucking to increase funding by $10,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $110,000 to fund the artwork for the upcoming Highway 101 bike and pedestrian bridge. Background The Highway 101 Pedestrian Overpass Project at Adobe Creek will replace an existing underpass that is available only half the year (on average) due to seasonal flooding. It would also complement an existing, although Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) deficient, overpass that is 1.25 miles north. The new overcrossing will also include a 0.13 mile Class I trail connection along an existing Santa Clara Valley Water District maintenance road. The City of Palo Alto's Public Art Program manages the process for incorporating public art into municipal projects. (Palo Alto Municipal Code section 2.26.070, Public Art for Municipal Projects.) The Highway 101 Bike and Pedestrian Bridge Project is a high visibility public works project that presents an opportunity to integrate site specific public art. In the heart of Silicon Valley, Palo Alto (along with its neighbor to the south, Mountain View) is home to hundreds of technology and research -based companies, including a number of major employers such as Google, Intuit, and Space Systems Loral that have clustered in close proximity to Highway 101 and the Bay Trail. To better link these growing job centers with regional trails and bicycle facilities, and improve access to superb recreation opportunities like the Baylands, Palo Alto has prioritized the funding City of Palo Alto Page 1 and construction of a new, year-round bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing over Highway 101 at Adobe Creek near the City's southern border. The Artist Selection Process: Staff initiated the artist selection process in November 2016. After reviewing the qualified artists in the Public Art pre -qualified pool, staff presented the work of twenty three different artists to a selection panel composed of the project Architect Claudia Guadagne, Assistant Director of Community Services Rhyena Halpern who oversees the Arts & Science Division, Public Art Commission (PAC) member Mila Zelkha, Bike Bridge Competition panelist and former ARB member Judith Wasserman, Cubberley Artist Studio Program artist Mel Day, Palo Alto Art Center Curator Selene Foster, Environmental Advocate Jerry Hearn, and former ARB member and cyclist Lee Lippert. From that selection panel, five artists were selected for an interview. Once the interviews were completed, Mary Lucking was selected as the artist for the project. The Public Art Commission approved Mary Lucking as the project artist at its February 16, 2017 meeting. The panel and the PAC selected Lucking because of her artistic excellence and extensive experience integrating artwork into bike and pedestrian bridges, transportation hubs and other high traffic public spaces utilizing durable materials. With nearly twenty years of experience in the field of public art, three of Lucking's projects have been recognized for artistic excellence by the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network, and her artworks can be seen across the country. Lucking's gift for using industrial materials in a manner that feels light and organic made her an ideal candidate for this project adjacent to the Baylands. Mary Lucking was approved by the Public Art Commission as the project artist in February 2017. Lucking's contract (Attachment A) was approved by City Council March 27th, 2017. The artist traveled to Palo Alto in April 2017 to meet with the design team, tour the area in which the bridge will be sited, and gathered as much information about the project as possible to initiate her design development. Due to the scale of the project and the limited art budget, the opportunities for public art integration are somewhat limited. While Mary was in Palo Alto, she and the design team explored numerous opportunities for art integration into the bridge, including the trail split at the western approach to the bridge, the railing at various places on the bridge, the scenic overlook, and the roundabout at the eastern approach to the bridge. While the design team really wanted to have the artwork integrated throughout the structure, the limited budget, strong industrial truss design, and stringent safety regulations associated with the project made the smaller elements get lost in the larger project and the team felt they would not be as impactful. The artist proposed concentrating her artwork at the scenic overlook, creating an environment for reflection on the beautiful Baylands that can be viewed from that space. This is the only space along the bridge where visitors can step away from bike and pedestrian traffic. Discussion: City of Palo Alto Page 2 The Conceptual design was reviewed and approved by the Public Art Commission on August 14, 2017. Inspired by the wetlands and the many creatures that live below, Lucking proposed creating sculptures for the overlook that can double as creative seating. More traditional benches, interpretive signage, and bike racks will be available nearby. The cast aluminum pieces will have a brushed finish and sculpted texture that will make them visually engaging and interesting to touch. The pieces currently planned will range in scale from 32" x 32" x 36" to 32" x 24" x 18", but may have to scale slightly up or down as the bridge design is finalized and ADA regulations are met. At the time of the PAC approval, Lucking expressed that the seating elements could be cast and installed and still leave some funding available to put toward an artist designed railing at the overlook area, but not likely enough to fully fund the railing. At the time that PAC approved Mary Lucking's design for the seating elements and railing, the commission expressed strong support for the artist designed railing and inquired if additional funding could be allocated for this purpose. Staff informed the PAC that since staff did not have enough information yet to determine the additional cost, that staff would return to the PAC once the amount of additional funding is determined and make the request at that time. Staff returned to the PAC in April 2018 to request additional funds in the amount up to $10,000 to ensure that the railing can be fabricated as part of Lucking's contract, and ensure that there were adequate funds for Lucking to fabricate the railing with an alloy suitable to the marine environment. The Public Art Commission approved the $10,000 increase from the pooled Municipal Percent for Art funds (within the Art in Public Places CIP) to cover the additional expense of the railing. The additional allocation of $10,000 will cover the additional expense of the railing in a durable material suitable to the marine environment and still leave a small amount of contingency funds in place. The Council has a longstanding policy, codified in the Municipal Code, of refraining from direct involvement in selection of artists and approval of artwork designs and plans. The Council refers these matters to Public Art staff and the Public Art Commission. (Municipal Code - section 2.26.060.) Timeline Detailed design is underway on the bridge, including the details for art integration for the creative seating and railing sections. The bridge is scheduled to begin construction in early 2019 and scheduled for completion in 2020. Resource Impact The current funding of $100,000 for the original contract came from the Art in Public Spaces CIP (AC -86017), and the additional funds up to $10,000 will come from the same CIP. The Public Art for Municipal Projects Ordinance (Ordinance Number 5301, Municipal Code 2.26.070) requires that 1% of the CIP budget for municipal projects is allocated for the commission of public art. The Highway 101 Pedestrian/Bicycle Overpass Project CIP (PE -11011) contributed 1% of the project's funding to the Art in Public Spaces CIP in order to fund the public art component of this project. City of Palo Alto Page 3 Environmental Review The artist's concept has been integrated into the bridge design for the purposes of environmental review. Pursuant to CEQA, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared and circulated for public review in September - October 2017, and adopted by Council Resolution on November 27, 2017. The MND concludes that, with mitigation incorporated, the project will have no significant environmental impacts. Because the project may involve federal funding, the project has also been evaluated under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The City received a Categorical Exclusion from Caltrans under NEPA in December 2017.

(Attachment C). The contract City of Palo Alto Page 1 amount of the first year of the agreement will be $54,620, plus 5% contingency of $2,731, for a total of $57,351. Background From 1993 through 2010 the City looked at opportunities to reduce the costs of parks and landscape maintenance services by contracting -out landscaping services for City parks and facilities (CMR 280:10). As a result, a majority of the parks and City maintained facilities were contracted out, while in-house staff was retained to maintain the five sports field complex parks (El Camino Park, Baylands Athletic Center, Greer Park, and Stanford/Palo Alto Playing Fields) and provide irrigation maintenance services at all sites. In-house maintenance for sports facilities and irrigation maintenance has several advantages as it has historically shown to provide better control over field safety and service levels, more timely response to special recreation events/program support, and responsiveness to emergency situations. The City strives to sustain the high level of service that City park visitors and field users have come to expect from Palo Alto parks. As noted in the 2017 National Citizen Survey, 93% of survey respondent's rate the quality of City neighborhood parks "good" or"excellent." The scope of work to be performed under the BrightView Landscape Services contract will be for the continuation of landscape maintenance services for medians, roadside planter strips, bioretention basins, parking lots and parking garages, Parks, City Facilities (Libraries, Fire Stations, City Hall, Art Center, Community Centers, etc.), utility sub -stations, well sites, tennis court cleaning, and Byxbee Park Vegetation Management. The scope of work to be performed under the Gachina Landscape Management contract will be for the continuation of landscape maintenance services for the Regional Water Quality Control Plant. Lastly, the scope of work to be performed under the Acterra contract will be for habitat restoration work in Foothills Park including the removal of invasive weeds and the planting of native plants. Discussion On December 21, 2017, a request for proposals (RFP 170810) was sent to forty-nine vendors, seeking proposals from qualified landscape maintenance and habitat restoration firms for the maintenance service of the following City maintained areas: A: Medians, Roadside Planter Strips, and Bioretention Basins B: Parking Lots and Parking Garages C: Parks City of Palo Alto Page 2 D: City Facilities (City Hall, Community Centers, Fire Stations, Libraries, etc.) E: Utility Sub -stations and Well Sites F: Tennis Court Cleaning G: Regional Water Quality Control Plant H: Byxbee Park Vegetation Management I: Habitat Restoration in Foothills Park The RFP allowed vendors to submit a proposal for all or part of the maintenance service areas defined in the scope of work. On Tuesday, January 9, 2018, a mandatory pre - proposal meeting was held at the Municipal Service Center, with three qualified firms attending this pre -proposal meeting. On January 10 and 11, 2018, staff conducted mandatory site tours at 20 representative sites throughout the City in order to familiarize the contractors with the sites and scope of required work. Three qualified firms attended the site tours, and subsequently three bids were received on January 31, 2018. After reviewing the bids, staff requested a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) for cost from each of the three qualified firms. The BAFO was sent on February 13, 2018, and was required to be submitted by Tuesday, February 20, 2018. The table below provides a summary of the RFP process including which companies submitted a bid proposal. Proposal Description/ Number Name/Number of Proposal here Proposed Length of Project 60 months Number of Proposals Contacted 49 Total Days to Respond to Proposal 22 days Mandatory Pre -proposal Meeting Date Tuesday, January 9, 2018 at 10:00 A.M.

BrightView Landscape Services Menlo Park, Ca 2.Gachina Landscape Management Menlo Park, Ca F3. Acterra Palo Alto, Ca City of Palo Alto Page 3 The cost comparison table below reflects the BAFO cost proposals from each responding company for each of the ten distinct maintenance services. It also provides a five-year cost from each company and highlights the low responsible bid for each section A -I below. In addition to the total cost is a 5% contingency. Gachina Landscape was originally awarded Section H, Byxbee Park Vegetation Management, as they were the low responsible bid. However Gachina did not accept the Intent to Award for Section H. Consequently, BrightView Landscape has been awarded this section. 5 Year Cost Comparison BrightView Landscape Gachina Landscape Acterra Section A, Medians $741,519 $976,079 N/A Section B, Parking Lots and Parking Garages $153,312 $212,269 N/A Section C, Parks $3,209,321 $4,225,043 N/A Section D, City Facilities $1,072,744 $1,456,507 N/A Section E, Utility Sub -stations and Well Sites $172,405 $230,841 N/A Section F, Tennis Court Cleaning $82,697 $111,438 N/A Section G, Regional Water Quality Control Plant $72,131 $358,897 N/A Section H, Byxbee Park Vegetation Management $111,913 $101,851 N/A Section 1, Specification for Habitat Restoration in Foothills Park N/A N/A $284,244 Total Highlighted Contract Amounts To Be Awarded $5,543,911 $358,897 $284,244 5% Contract Contingency $277,196 $17,945 $14,212 As illustrated on the cost comparison, it was not a requirement of the RFP to bid on each and every section of the contract. Such a requirement would have precluded many firms from bidding on this complex and diverse RFP. It also provided more flexibility in attracting firms with special knowledge and experience to provide services such as native plant restoration at Foothills Park. Although BrightView Landscaping submitted the lowest bid on Section G: Maintenance of the Regional Water Quality Control Plant, the company underestimated the labor cost with the minimum requirement per contract scope. Their hourly rate was below Santa Clara County minimum wage and prevailing wage, which ultimately disqualified their bid for section G of the RFP. Gachina Landscape's hourly rate was in line with the minimum requirements of the scope and thus Gachina Landscape's proposal for section G was accepted. The evaluation committee, composed of representatives from Community Services and Administrative Services Departments, carefully reviewed the five proposals and assessed the following: 1. Quality of the proposal. 2. Quality, performance and effectiveness of the solution, goods and/or services to be provided. 3. Experience. City of Palo Alto Page 4 4. Contractor's financial stability. 5. Contractor's ability to perform the contract within the time specified. 6. Contractor's prior record of performance with City or others. 7. Contractor's ability to provide future maintenance, repairs parts and/or services. 8. Contractor's compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and guidelines. 9. Cost to the City per annual service year (Attachment D). The committee carefully reviewed each firm's qualifications and submittal in response to the criteria identified in the RFP. Staff recommends BrightView Landscape Services be declared a lowest responsible bidder and be awarded a contract for Sections "A" through "F" due to scoring highest on the assessment factors listed above, and Section "H". The total BrightView contract cost for sections A, B, C, D, E, F, and H work is $5,543,911, plus 5% contingency - $277,196, for a contract total of $5,821,106 for Landscape Maintenance Services for a term of five years, beginning on July 1, 2018 and ending on June 30, 2023. Staff is also recommending Gachina Landscape be declared a lowest responsible bidder and be awarded a contract for Section G, Regional Water Quality Control Plant due to scoring highest on the assessment factors listed above. The total Gachina Landscape contract cost for sections G is $358,897, plus 5% contingency - $17,945 for a total of $376,842 for Landscape Maintenance Services for a term of five years, beginning on July 1, 2018 and ending on June 30, 2023. Staff is also recommending Acterra be declared a lowest responsible bidder and be awarded a contract for Section I work due to scoring highest on the assessment factors listed above. Acterra has been the Pearson Arastradero Preserve steward for over 15 years, and has exceeded expectations on improving the habitat at that site. The total Acterra contract cost for section I work is in the amount of $284,244, plus 5% contingency - $14,212 for a total of $298,456 for Habitat Restoration Service in Foothills Park for a term of five years, beginning on July 1, 2018 and ending on June 30, 2023. Timeline Each of the three contracts would begin on July 1, 2018, and terminate on June 30, 2023. Resource Impact City of Palo Alto Page 5 The five year cost for the parks landscape contract in comparision to the prior five year contract has increased by $1.5M. This is attributed to labor and materials cost increases and additional services. Previous Contract Cost Comparison 2018-2023 Current Cost Proposal, Contingency Included $6,496,404 2013-2018 Cost total, Contingency Included $4,984,494 5 Year Total Cost Increase $1,511,910 There are several reasons for this cost increase: 1. There were multiple City projects that included landscaping and other features requiring maintenance that were added (or will be added during the timeframe of the attached proposed contract) after entering into the previous parks landscaping contract. The maintenance costs for these new sites were not included in the previous contract. A few examples of the new sites are the Public Works Transportations Projects (AMBLUR, which consists of 85 new landscaped medians, installation of various round-abouts throughout the City with landscape material that will need to be maintained), Welch Road medians, Southgate Bioretention Basins (Public Works Storm Drain Project that involved adding new landscaping), Charleston-Arastradero Corridor Medians and Bioretention Basins (Public Works Engineering Project that will be adding new medians and bioretention basins from Louis Rd. to Miranda Ave). 2. The use of the herbicide glyphosate in Parks and City Facilities will no longer be permitted because on July 7, 2017, glyphosate was added to the California Proposition 65 list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer. Also, for many years, numerous park visitors have requested that glyphosate not be used in Palo Alto parks. 3. Additional maintenance is necessary to keep the playing fields in safe condition due to the high level of use of the fields. This includes extra aerations, ferilizations, mowings, and seeding of the playing fields once per month, May through September of each year of the contract. Field users strongly support extra maintenace to keep the playing fields in safe condition. The additional maintenance of the fields also helps reduce the need for closing the fields for full -renovations. 4. The contract now requires specific quantities of playground safety surfacing (sand and fabricated wood fiber), which are necessary to comply with safety regulations. Staff tracked the historic quantities of playgrounds surfacing materials needed, and have included it in the contract. 5. Additional maintenance was added to the Magical Bridge Playground at Mitchell Park. This includes daily (7 days per week) servicing, quarterly pressure washing of the entire playground, and weekly cleaning of all equipment. Due to the popularity of this playground, staff has struggled to keep the playground clean and safe with our regular maintenance routine. Staff has found by adding two City of Palo Alto Page 6 additional days of servicing, cleaning of equipment, and with quarterly pressure washing of the entire playground, we are able to sustain the maintenance of the playground at the same level as others throughout the City. 6. This contract now includes the maintenace of the green roofs and green wall at the Mitchell Park Library and Community Center, which was previously maintained by Gachina Landscape, through contingency fundings. 7. The Regional Water Quality Control Plant had a significant landscape improvement project that requires an increased level of maintenance. 8. The scope in Section I, Specification for Habitat Restoration in Foothills Park, has been increased to address new and aggressive invasive species, such as stinkwort, and to increase restoration efforts on the 7.7 acre area of Foothills Park. The difference between the FY18 cost and the proposed FY19 cost, including contingency, is $192,000. These three contracts would continue to be budgeted in the Community Services Department's General Fund budget, and the costs for the portions of the contract that perform work for areas not managed by the General Fund (i.e. Section G, the Regional Water Quality Control Plant, among others) would be allocated to those funds to reimburse the General Fund. This means that the impact to the General Fund would be $82,500 after accounting for the increased reimbursements for services to other funds. The Proposed FY 2019 Budget study sessions with the Finance Committee are scheduled on May 15 and 16, 2018. Budgeteary changes to the FY 2019 Operating Budget to fund the overall increase for landscaping services for the City will be presented and recommended as part of these meetings in order to ensure these changes are accounted for while keeping the FY 2019 Operating Budget balanced to recommend to the City Council for adoption. Policy Implications The recommendation is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, Community Services and Facilities Element, Program C-19: Develop improvement plans for the maintenance, restoration and enhancement of community facilities, and keep these facilities viable community assets by investing the necessary resources. Environmental Review These services are categorically exempt under CEQA regulations 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land).

Approximately 122 acres are to be maintained under this contract. The Public Arts Commission took a lead role in the design of the park and the Commission has determined a look for the park. The Open Space, Parks and Golf Division of the Community Services Department has the responsibility for implementing the Commission's plans and for general upkeep of the park. General Structure: For purposes of this Agreement the park has been divided into two areas: the top of the old landfill (the "rolling terrain"), and the slopes that go from the levee roads up to the top. The top area is highlighted in blue in the Byxbee Map 2, below. The slopes are divided into additional sections that are to be mowed in different years; see Byxbee Map 3, below. Mowing is to be done as needed to maintain vegetation heights of six to ten inches (6- 10 inches). There are several "vegetation island" berms in the park that are planted with native plants. Contractor is not responsible for these areas but will mow up to and around the islands to reduce vegetation near them. The City may, at its discretion, decide to eliminate one or more of the following tasks for any given year. City of Palo Alto General Services Agreement 81 Rev. February 8, 2017 Tasks: 1. Mowing Maintenance: Mowing will begin during the month of May or June to reduce annual weedy bio-mass, remove plants with root systems greater than a foot in depth (i.e., coyote brush, mustard, Russian thistle) and provide sunlight to emerging perennial natives. The slopes will be mowed from the levee road to the midpoint of the slope, according to this schedule. Please refer to the color -coded areas of Byxbee Map. Orange: Years 1 and 4. Green: Years 2 and 5. Blue: Year 3. The mowing shall be repeated as needed during the year to meet the height specifications. Mowing will be done with a wheeled tractor and flail or rotary mower, and with weed - whips as needed. 2. Byxbee Park V -Ditch: The V -ditch is a concrete ditch that circles the park near the levee roads. The V -ditch shall by maintained by mowing vegetation in May, July and September or October. See Byxbee Map 4, below. • On the upper slope side of the v -ditch, mow 6'-8' uphill from the ditch. • On the down slope side, mow from the v -ditch to the road. • Inside the v -ditch, pull and remove all vegetation. • Blow all vegetation from interior of v -ditch. • Haul away all pulled vegetation. 3. Coyote Brush Removal: Pursuant to State law, Coyote Brush and other non-native, invasive species whose roots exceed one foot in depth must be removed on an ongoing basis. Under this Agreement, this task will be done as part of the annual mowing. It includes all sections of the park specified in this Agreement. 4. Burrowing Owl Habitat: Byxbee Park is burrowing owl habitat. There may be no mowing within 250 feet of a burrowing owl nest burrow. Nest burrows will be clearly marked by City staff. 5. Artistic Features: Within the mowing area specified above, the contractor shall be responsible for the maintenance of the vegetation on and near artistic features named Chevrons, Pole Field and Wind Waves. This will include the removal of existing weeds and other tall City of Palo Alto General Services Agreement 82 Rev. February 8, 2017 vegetation and weed -whipping of the surrounding areas to keep a neat appearance. See Byxbee Map 2, below. 6. Restoration of Trails or Paths, Including Social Trails: Formal walking and bicycle trail routes have been constructed at Byxbee Park of 10-12 foot widths. Concurrent with mowing work, the Contractor shall remove all vegetation from the tread of the pathways to maintain unobstructed pathways for park visitors by mowing or the application of herbicide. Herbicide will only be applied with prior written permission from the City's Supervising Ranger. Herbicide Use: While herbicides are not preferred for the control of weeds, herbicides may be used with the express, written permission of the Baylands Supervising Ranger. Herbicides may be used only for specific designated areas and and may only be applied within a designated time frame. When Contractor is ready to use herbicides, they must submit a written request to the Baylands Supervising Ranger at least two weeks prior to such usage. Contractor will post signage at entry points to the work area one day prior to herbicide usage explaining the purpose of spraying and the herbicide to be used. All signage will be removed the day following herbicide application. Because cyclists and hikers will from time to time create "social" trails or paths, the contractor will be responsible for restoring these areas by reseeding the area with the seed mix indicated below. This work will be performed on an as -needed basis. The Contractor will submit a proposal for specific restoration projects that will be reviewed and approved by the City's Supervising Ranger. The City will pay Contractor for each of these projects on a "change order" basis to the approved Agreement amount. a. Soil Preparation: Chisel the areas to be seeded to a depth of 6-8 inches. The areas to be seeded will be tilled in two directions and then harrowed. b. Fertilization of newly seeded areas: A balanced fertilizer (18-18-18) to be applied at 50 pounds per acre, and shall be tilled into the soil to an even depth of 6-8 inches. Two inches of compost provided by the City's landfill operation shall also be tilled into the soil. c. Seeding: Native wild grasses are to be used to replenish social trails. The following plant species will be used in the seeding of Byxbee Park: California brome Bromus carinatus 10 pounds/acre Blue Wildrye Elymus glaucus 10 pounds/acre Pacific hairgrass Deschampsia holciformus 5 pounds/acre City of Palo Alto General Services Agreement 83 Rev. February 8, 2017 California Poppy Eschscholzia californica Creeping Rye Leymus triticoides grass plugs 4 pounds/acre d. Cover: The seeded area is to be covered by mulch or weed -free straw to reduce erosion and protect the seeded area. Additional Services Required: 1. Contractor will be responsible for clearing vegetation from everything in the work area. This includes both sides of the drainage ditch (V -ditch) and around all benches. They will also weed -whip around the art structures. The exceptions to this are the native vegetation islands and the area from the midpoint of the slopes to the top area of the park. 2. Contractor will mow as often as is needed to keep the weeds and grasses at the 6-10 inch level. 3. Contractor will mow four (4) feet on each side of the trails to keep trails clear of vegetation. 4. Contractor will repair social trails by seeding them with the specified native grass seed. 5. Contractor will notify the Supervising Ranger by telephone (650-617-3156) before coming out to work in the area. 6. Contractor will notify the Supervising Ranger two (2) days in advance when they are scheduled to spray herbicides. 7. Contractor is responsible for monitoring vegetation height to ensure that it remains within height limits. In the event the City feels it is too high, the Supervising Ranger will contact Contractor for service as needed. City of Palo Alto General Services Agreement 84 Rev. February 8, 2017 Maps Byxbee Map 2: The area highlighted in blue is the top of Byxbee Park (i.e., the area above the slopes).

Background Hourly employees serve as a contingent workforce for the City, providing City departments increased flexibility to accomplish supplemental work or sporadic projects that do not require full time equivalent employees. There are two different groups of hourly employees in the City. Represented hourly employees covered by Service Employee International Union (SEIU), 521 which is a group of approximately 120-170 hourly employees who generally work on a consistent basis and; unrepresented limited hourly employees who work less than 416 hours per fiscal year and range anywhere from 200-400 employees depending on the season. These classifications include Librarian, Arts and Sciences Professional, Library Clerk, Administrative Specialists, and Recreation Leaders. The current limited hourly compensation plan expired June 30, 2017. It was not immediately updated due to ongoing negotiations with SEIU Hourly Unit during this time. This compensation plan sequentially follows the approval of the SEIU Hourly Unit Memorandum of Agreement or in tandem to be consistent with the City's practice and ongoing labor strategy to keep classifications with the same title and general nature of work and assignments compensated and similar if not identical hourly rates. "Limited" Hourly positions are not eligible for medical benefits or CaIPERS retirement benefits, similar to SEIU Hourly employees. Instead limited hourly employees participate in a self -funded defined contribution plan administered by PARS (Public Agency Retirement Services). The City City of Palo Alto Page 1 does not make contributions towards PARS for Hourly employees. However, it should be noted that limited hourly employees who work more than 1,000 hours in any given year will be automatically enrolled in CaIPERS, in accordance with CaIPERS rules. The City proactively limits the utilization of hourly employees beyond 1,000 hours in a fiscal year; exceptions are only considered when a pressing, urgent, and justifiable business need exists. At any given time, there are traditionally less than a dozen hourly employees enrolled in CaIPERS. These employees will now share in the cost of employer contributions to CaIPERS. Discussion 1. Salary Schedule Update Staff is recommending the following increases: • Salary o 3.0% increase effective the first full pay period following adoption by City Council o 2.5% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2018 o 2.5% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2019 o 2.0% increase effective the pay period including July 1, 2020 • Minimum wage ordinance compliance o Build into the salary schedule the January 2018 ($13.50) and January 2019 ($15.00) Minimum wage increases which impact 7 unrepresented Limited Hourly Classifications • Police Reserves o For the last decade the Police Reserve position has gone without any adjustment. The current Police Reserve I top step pay rate of $27.53 is limiting our ability to utilize our reserve force due to lack of availability and staffing. o Staff recommends Increasing Police Reserve I to $48 per hour and Police Reserve II to $43 per hour, both as flat rates. o For reference Mountain View has a maximum rate of $73.64 per hour 2. Employee PERS contributions • 1% contribution to the Employer share of CaIPERS contributions Resource Impact The additional cost over the term of the Limited Hourly Compensation Plan is anticipated to be approximately $815,000 across all funds ($523,000 in the General Fund) through June 30, 2021. The Fiscal Year 2018 Budget was developed presuming a 2.0% general wage increase for the entire Fiscal Year. Due to the timing of the proposed update to the Compensation Plan, no additional budget actions are needed in FY 2018. Although the FY 2019 — FY 2028 General Fund Long Range Financial Report presumed a 2.0% general wage increase for the Limited Hourly employee group, adjustments were made to the development of the FY 2019 Operating Budget following the successful conclusion of negotiations with SEIU. Consistent with past practice, the City of Palo Alto Page 2 marginal costs associated with keeping classifications in both SEIU and Limited Hourly aligned were factored into the FY 2019 Operating Budget. Policy Implications The actions recommended in this report are consistent with City Council direction.

Handrail, wall rail and guardrail assemblies and attachments shall withstand a minimum concentrated load of 200 pounds (90719 g) applied in any direction on the top rail. 2. Infill area of guardrail system capable of withstanding a horizontal concentrated load of 200 pounds (90719 g) applied to one square foot (8165 g/sm) at any point in the system. Load not to act concurrently with loads on top rail of system in determining stress on guardrail. B. Hole covers: 1. Covers and protect holes: gaps or voids 2 inches or more in its least dimension in a floor, roof, deck, or other walking/working surface. Ventura CC Units 1 & 2 Re -Roof Section 07 22 70 Page 3 a. Keeps workers from falling through holes. b. Be wary of hole's design which can create a trip hazard. c. Keeps objects from falling through hole and injuring workers below. d. Keeps holes protected which can be cut (or constructed) in floor to receive equipment or ducts and for future access points (e.g. opening for stairs that will be installed later.) e. Keeps holes protected which can be cut in roofs in preparation for installing skylights, ventilation units, and other features and equipment. 2. Hole covers are strong protective surfaces used on walking/working surfaces or roadways to prevent workers from falling through a hole. a. Used for permanent holes typically built for a specific purpose (e.g., permanent access points, manhole covers, and trap doors) and are only effective when they are properly designed and secured in place. b. Used for temporary holes often constructed on work sites with reusable materials, most commonly using plywood and steel plates. For example, to cover large holes in a road, hinged steel plate covers can be used. Other options for covers include grates designed to support weight, custom boxes to cover a hole with an elevated lip or partially installed equipment, and temporary trapdoors. 3. Use heavy plywood for covering temporary holes in floors and roofs, but plywood strength and durability can vary. a. Approved plywood rating systems: APA—The Engineered Wood Association (formerly the American Plywood Association and Douglas Fir Plywood Association) and the Timber Engineering Company (TECO). CSHOs should refer to these organizations for detailed information. b. Use only exterior -grade plywood at areas where workers are using hauling equipment, to prevent damage to the flooring from concentrated loads. Typical protective layers may include liquid latex compounds, penetrating oils, sheet plastics, and interlocking membranes. c. Plywood covers rest on the hole edges that are supported through the joists. Plywood piece must be large than the hole, overlapping the support surfaces and positioned with the grain direction running along the shortest unsupported Ventura CC Units 1 & 2 Re -Roof Section 07 22 70 Page 4 hole dimension. C. Warning or Marking Systems: 1. A warning line system is a barrier erected on a flat or low- sloped roof to warn workers that they are approaching an unprotected roof side or edge. They must be established before work begins. All workers must be trained for these requirements. a. Warning lines are not engineered to physically prevent or arrest falls and may not be used in all situations. They must remain between34 — 39" above the roof level and have a minimum tensile strength of 500 lbs. Lines must be installed so that one section of line will not cause stanchions to tip over. b. On flat or low -sloped roofs, warning lines are used in conjunction with conventional fall protection or a safety monitoring system. They must be installed at least 6' back from edges (10 feet when mechanical equipment is used.). c. Workers are not allowed in the area between the warning line and the unprotected edge, except during roofing work. Any employee performing roofing work between the warning line and the roof edge must be protected using another form of fall protection. D. Access Zoning: 1. A controlled access zone (CAZ) is a clearly marked, designated work area where certain work (e.g., overhand bricklaying) may take place without conventional fall protection systems. a. They are used to keep out workers other than those authorized to enter a work area. b. Situations where CAZs are used include overhand bricklaying and related work (provided that workers are not reaching more than 10 inches below the walking or working level they are on), leading edge work, and precast concrete erection (both used when conventional fall protection is infeasible or creates a greater hazard.) c. Control lines are used to demark CAZs. 2. A controlled decking zone (CDZ) is a clearly marked work area used during steel erection while workers are initially installing decking at the Ventura CC Units 1 & 2 Re -Roof Section 07 22 70 Page 5 leading edge of the work area. E. Fall Restraint Systems and Positioning Devices: 1. System or device shall withstand at minimum a concentrated load of 3,000 pounds of force or twice the maximum expected force that is needed to restrain the worker from exposure to the fall hazard. 2. Positioning devices are specialized systems that hold workers in place on an elevated vertical surface (such as a wall) allowing them to keep both hands free to work while leaning into the system. When the worker leans back, the system is activated (supporting the worker's body weight). Positioning devices limit free falls to two feet or less. F. Protection of Skylights and Access Hatches: 1. Existing skylights must be protected by grates or covers, and be capable of supporting, without failure, at least twice the weight of the workers, equip-ment, and materials that may be imposed on the cover at any one time. 2. Roof hatch entrances need to be protected if too close to the roof edge. They are considered holes when open (see section on Hole Covers.) 1.6 DELIVER , STORA E, AND HANDLIN A. Materials to be delivered to the job site in good condition and adequately protected against damage as handrails are a finished product. B. Store products in manufacturer's unopened packaging until ready for installation. 1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS A.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 9245) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Action Items Meeting Date: 5/29/2018 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Transfer Development Rights from Avenidas Building at 450 Bryant Street Title: Adoption of a Resolution Designating 450 Bryant Street, Known as the Avenidas Building, as a “Sender Site” in the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) Program; Di rection to Staff to Issue Requests for Proposals for Avenidas and College Terrace Building TDRs; and Approval of Commitment of Additional $2 Million for Enhancements to the New Junior Museum & Zoo From: City Manager Lead Department: Administrative Services RECOMMENDATION Staff requests that Council approve the following recommendations: 1. Approve the attached Resolution (Attachment “A”) designating 450 Bryant Street, known as the Avenidas Building, to be eligible as a “Sender Site” for 9,188 square feet in the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program. 2. Direct the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sale of 9,188 square feet of TDRs from the Avenidas Building at the minimum starting price of $275 per square foot. 3. Direct the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sale 2,500 square feet of TDRs from the College Terrace Building located at 2300 Wellesley Street at the minimum starting price of $275 per square foot. Staff will return to City Council with the results of the RFPs. 4. Authorize the City Manager to transfer $2.5 million in proceeds from the sale of the TDRs to Avenidas, to be used for the cost of historic and seismic rehabilitation of the Avenidas Building. This $2.5 million contribution will fulfill the remaining portion of the City’s pledge to contribute a total of $5 million towards the historic and seismic rehabilitation of the Avenidas building. 5. Approve the commitments described in the attached letter from the City Manager to Dick Peery (Attachment “B”) in support of the Junior Museum and Zoo (JMZ) project, stating that the City supports construction of $2 million in enhanced features and will contribute City of Palo Alto Page 2 an additional $1 million toward the cost, with the Friends conducting private fundraising for $1 million, by fiscal year 2020. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On October 10, 2015, in response to the request from the Board of Directors of Avenidas, the City Council approved a $5 million contribution to the Avenidas construction project for the City owned building at 450 Bryant Street. The request for City funding was driven by Avenidas’ assessment of the limits of private fundraising in reaching their goal (Attachment A). S taff recommended the City contribution come from two sources: $2.5 million from Community Center Development Impact Fees Funds and $2.5 million from the sale of TDRs. Council directed staff to identify revenues sources to fulfill this commitment. The City released $2.5 million from Community Center Impact Fee Fund in the form of a grant to Avenidas as approved by the City Council on April 9, 2018 (Staff Report 8780 www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/64334). This leaves a balance of $2.5 million to be paid to Avenidas. The Community Center Development Impact Fee Fund has a current balance of $3.46 million, and the sale of TDRs is estimated to have the capacity to raise $3.21 million. Staff recommends using the TDR receipts to fulfill the City’s remaining $2.5 million commitment to Avenidas. To the extent the additional funds are available from the TDR sale, staff recommends reimbursing the Community Center Impact Fee Fund for the initial $2.5 million payment to Avenidas. This will make additional Community C enter Impact Fee funds available for other project needs, as discussed below. The Municipal Code allows a 25% increase in floor area for historic rehabilitation, and a 25% increase in floor area for seismic rehabilitation, where Code requirements are met . The increased floor area can be used on site or transferred consistent with the TDR ordinance. The Avenidas Building is eligible for TDRs equal to 50% of the building’s floor area (PAMC 18.18.070(a)(4)) because the current project involves the rehabilitation of a listed Seismic Category II building as well as a listed Historic Category 2 building. The current building is 18,375 square feet (sq.ft.) resulting in a Combined Historic and Seismic Rehabilitation Bonus of 9,188 sq.ft. In addition, City Council designated the College Terrace Library as an eligible “Sender Site” on April 13, 2009 (Staff Report 202:09 www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/15397) generating 2,500 sq.ft. of TDRs that can also be offered for sale to support the City’s funding commitment to Avenidas or for other approved and appropriate projects. The timing of the sale of TDRs is crucial. If approved, the combined sale of TDRs from the Avenidas and College Terrace buildings will be offered to buyers during a robust economic cycle. The proceeds from the proposed sale will generate needed revenue from private sources for the rehabilitation of a historic City owned building without straining City finances. City of Palo Alto Page 3 BACKGROUND Avenidas is the sole provider of comprehensive programs and services for older adults in Palo Alto. Avenidas is housed in a City owned building at 450 Bryant Street, in what was once Palo Alto’s original Police and Fire building. Avenidas has been operating at this location since 1977 on a long-term lease agreement with the City of Palo Alto. On January 1, 2015, Avenidas and the City entered into a new fifty (50) year lease agreement in anticipation of Avenidas beginning a capital campaign to raise an estimated $18 million for a major renovation project to address needed building repairs, seismic upgrades, and expansion of the existing building to meet the needs of the growing older adult population in Palo Alto. Related to the actions to sell Transfer Development Rights is the need for support funding required for the current JMZ building project. As the City Council knows the JMZ, originally built in 1941, and the zoo, built in 1969, are not adequately sized or designed to accom modate the JMZ’s vibrant programs, current requirements to support living and non -living collections, expanded educational programs, and current accessibility or seismic code requirements. Major goals of the proposed replacement project are to provide the JMZ with adequate storage and support space to meet standards for zoo accreditation, museum accreditation, and provide sufficient storage and preparation space for the on-site and off-site educational programs. Another major goal is to improve circulation to allow universal access for children with disabilities to all exhibits and areas of the facility, which requires considerably more space than allowed for in the existing facility. The new JMZ facilities will better serve its current local visitors and schools and maintain an intimate experience for children to explore science and nature. The original design for the JMZ was divided into Phase I, which better aligned with current or reasonably anticipated future funding, and Phase 2, which is unfunded at th is time. The treehouse and “loose in the zoo” netting were moved to Phase 2 , but are now proposed to be shifted to Phase 1 at an additional cost of $2 million, which will be shared by the City and the Friends. For additional information on JMZ Project, please refer to Staff Reports: 8851 www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/63049 & 8613 www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/62293. The City sale of TDRs is to support the $5 million commitment for the City owed 450 Bryant Street (Avenidas) building. Moreover, this allows the City to use Community Center Impact Fee Funds to support the Junior Museum and Zoo project for which the City has also committed significant support. A. Project Description Over the past 5 years, employing various strategies and activities including raising funds from private and public sources, Avenidas has raised sufficient capital to complete a comprehensive rehabilitation and seismic retrofit of the Avenidas Building to improve and expand its services to the senior population in the area and bring to building up to date with current building City of Palo Alto Page 4 codes. The total cost of the project is projected to be $19.7 million, of which Avenidas has raised $18 million, which includes the $5 million grant from the City. Construction began in December 2017 and the project has reached the fifty (50%) percent completion stag e, with March 2019 as the current projected completion date for the renovation. The project plans that were approved by the Architectural Review Board (ARB) include the following improvements: Proposed interior renovation and addition of 7,158 square foot to the net floor area. Remodel of the existing building. Replacing and updating the old mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. Seismic upgrade to current standards. Installation of an American with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant elevator. B. Actions to Date: Architectural Resources Group, Inc. (ARG) completed a Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) in connection with the proposed rehabilitation and new addition to the Avenidas building. The property is listed as a Category 2 building (“Major Building” of regional importance) in Palo Alto’s Historic Inventory and is recognized as a Point of Historical Interest by the State of California. On May 26, 2015, the Historic Resources Board (HRB) reviewed Historic Resources Evaluation (HRE) that was prepared by Avenidas’ historic preservation consultant, ARG, confirming the inclusion of the property in the proposed designation as a Category 2 building and the property meeting the definition of “historic rehabilitation” as set forth in Municipal Code Secti on 18.18.080. The HRE also confirmed that the proposed historic rehabilitation plan for the building maintains the building’s identified historic character by conforming to the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation with respect to preservation of character-defining features and with respect to compatibility and differentiation of the proposed new construction. After the HRB meeting on May 26, 2016, the Director of Planning and Community Environment approved the recommendation of the HRB that the proposed restoration was consistent with the required criteria in the Palo Alto Municipal Code and therefore determined that the Historic Site was an eligible Sender Site for 4,594 square feet of development rights based on historic preservation. For details on rehabilitation plans, please note Reports to Historical Resource Board on & Architectural Review Board.

Avenidas Building (TDRs) The Avenidas Building is eligible for TDRs because the current project involves the rehabilitation of a Seismic Category II building as well as a Historic Category 2 building. The current building is 18,375 sq.ft. resulting in a Combined Historic and Seismic Rehabilitation Bonus of 9,188 sq.ft. that can be used on site or transferred to another site in the Downtown CD Zone District area. In this case none of the floor area bonus is proposed to be used on the site. D. College Terrace Library On April 13, 2009 (Staff Report 202:09), City Council approved Resolutions designating the City owned College Terrace Library and Palo Alto Child Care Center (College Terr ace Library) to be City of Palo Alto Page 6 eligible as “Sender Sites" in the TDR program. In August of 2010, the City issued an RFP for the sale of 5,000 square feet of TDRs from the Sea Scout and College Terrace Library. There were no offers to purchase and the TDRs remained unsold. In May 2016, the Real Estate Division issued another RFP to market 2,500 square feet of TDRs from the Sea Scout Building, which were sold at a record price averaging $350 per square foot. Staff recommends that the City offer the College Terrace TDRs for sale again. DISCUSSION Since October 10, 2015 when Council approved the $5 million for the Avenidas project, significant increases in construction costs have begun to strain funding availability for the City’s five year Capital Improvement Plan, as discussed in the FY 2019 Proposed Capital Budget. In addition, since October 10, 2015, Council approved capital funding support for reconstruction of the Junior Museum and Zoo (JMZ) and the related infrastructure improvements at Rinconada Park (Staff Report 8851 www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/63049). While the JMZ capital improvement project is significantly leveraged with private contributions ($25 million), the City committed $7.2 million to support the project. Of the $7.2 million, $3.3 million is funded in existing Capital Projects: JMZ Renovation Project (AC-18001) and Rinconada Park Improvements (PE-08001) leaving a JMZ project funding need of $3.9 million. As part of the proposed 2019-2023 CIP, this funding has been recommended to come from the Community Center Impact Fee Fund, after the Fund has been reimbursed from the sale of TDRs for the initial $2.5 million grant to Avenidas. $1.0 million in funding of the total $3.9 million for the JMZ project will be needed in FY 2019. In addition to the $3.9 million funding need mentioned above for the JMZ project, the primary donor for the JMZ project, Mr. Dick Peery, has since requested that two features of the project that were removed from the initial construction phase due to budget constraints be added back and completed before the new JMZ opens in 2020. The two JMZ project features are the netting of the zoo and the tree house at an estimated cost of $2 million. The cost of these two additional features increases the funding need to $5.9 million for the JMZ project. City staff and the Friends of the JMZ have met with the major donor regarding his request to include the netting of the zoo and the tree house, and recommend that the City make a commitment to fund these elements as requested by the donor, with the City and the Friends sharing the cost. The City Manager committed to this funding by letter, subject to City Council approval. Staff recommends that City Council approve the commitment as stated by the City Manager in the attached letter (Attachment B). A. Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) The purpose of the TDR program is to encourage and support the retention and rehabilitation of historic buildings. The program provides a floor area bonus for the qualified rehabilitation of Category 1 and 2 historic buildings and Seismic Category I, II, and III buildings which are either owned by the City of Palo Alto or located in the Downtown CD zone district. Funds from the sale can be used to rehabilitate eligible City-owned historic buildings. On February 7, 2005, the City of Palo Alto Page 7 City Council approved revisions to the Zoning Code to allow eligible City-owned historic properties located in any zone district to be “sender sites” under the Transfer of Development Rights ordinance, transferring historic or seismic rehabilitation floor area bonuses from these sites to eligible “receiver” sites located in the Downtown CD Zone District. As a Category 2 historic resource, and with the planned historic rehabilitation of the building, the Co llege Terrace Library was eligible as a "sender site" for a 2,500 square foot floor area bonus. With both historic and seismic designations, the Avenidas Building is eligible as a “sender site” for a 9,188 square foot floor area bonus. Provisions for elig ible City-owned buildings to participate in the TDR program are outlined in Chapters18.18.060, 18.18.070 and 18.18.080 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) (Attachment C). To allow the sale of the TDRs, City Council must designate by resolution City-owned buildings that are Category 1 or Category 2 on the City’s historic inventory or Category I, II or III on the City’s seismic hazards identification list as eligible to participate as a “sender site” in the TDR program.

City Council has since amended the Code to eliminate the use of TDRs for parking exemptions. Additional floor area ratio is now the only permissible use for TDRs. C. Historic Designation The Historic Site at 450 Bryant is in the Downtown Commercial area and is zoned Public Facility (PF) because of its public use. To promote the preservation and historic and seismic rehabilitation of historic buildings, Palo Alto Municipal Code Chapter 18.18.080 permits transfer of 9,188 square feet of development rights from the Historic Site to an eligible receiver site within the Downtown area. As a condition of such transfer, the Historic Sender Site must be developed and maintained in conformance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. The City has completed the requirements of Palo Alto Municipal Code Section 18.28.080 C (1) and the City’s Director of Planning (the “Director”) determined that the Avenidas Building is a Historic Sender Site and is eligible in the Transfer of Development Rights Program site for 4,594 square feet for historic rehabilitation. The Chief Building Official has also approved the seismic City of Palo Alto Page 8 retrofit upgrade that has been completed on this historical building as complying with the requirements of the Seismic Retrofit ordinance, therefore the site i s eligible for another 4,594 square feet of floor area ratio for seismic rehabilitation. None of the floor area bonus will be utilized at the Historic Sender Site. The TDRs from the Avenidas Building will only be used for floor area bonus not parking reductions at the future eligible receiver site(s). D. Request for Proposal The public bidding process for selling bonus floor area development rights is contained in Policy and Procedure 1-46 ASD (Attachment D) and Palo Alto Municipal Code sections 18.28.060 (Attachment E) for City owned TDRs. The City Council is involved in the TDR sale process when it designates a site as a sender site and subsequently approves or rejects bids. S taff intends to prepare and release a RFP for the sale of the TDRs from both th e College Terrace and Avenidas buildings within the next several months. Upon release of the RFP, and receipt of responses, staff will forward the results of the bidding to the City Council with a staff recommendation. The City Council may accept the high bid, or a bid which in its opinion best serves the public interest, or reject any and all bids. The RFP will include the date proposals are due, the minimum bid price , and instructions on how to obtain and submit the bid package. The Information Flyer wi ll explain the TDR program, including both limits and advantages of the development rights offered for sale. The development rights do not have to be assigned to or used on a receiver site at the time of purchase. They may be held for use or resale at a la ter date. The Proposal Package will contain detailed information on submitting the bid and the offer and agreement to purchase. Major terms of the RFP are: 1. Minimum bid price of $275 per each square foot lot of floor area bonus. 2. Bidders may bid on one or more lots, and the City reserves the right to accept or reject all or part on multiple lot bids. 3. Sealed written bids, accompanied by a good faith deposit in the amount of ten (10%) percent of the actual bid, but not less than $20,000, will be accepted unt il 3:00 p.m. on ___(TBD)___, 2018. Bids will be opened on __(TBD)__, but will not be accepted or rejected at that time. 4. Within seven days following notification from the City that a bidder was the qualified high bidder, the bidder is to pay the City the difference between the good faith deposit and twenty five (25%) percent of the total bid. 5. Staff will recommend to City Council a winning bid or bids. After acceptance of a bid or bids by the City Council, the buyer or buyers are to pay the balance of the purchase price within 10 days of written notification of acceptance of the bid(s). Following City Council approval of the Avenidas and College Terrace Library as “sender sites”, the RFP will be advertised in local newspapers and on the City’s Website and the information flyer will be sent to all persons on the Real Estate Division “Surplus Property Mailing List,” persons owning eligible “receiver sites” in the CD District, local developers and others likely to City of Palo Alto Page 9 be interested in the offering. The current real estate market is in a growth phase supporting the release of RFP for the sale of the TDRs. The proceeds from the sale will be deposited in a special fund to be used toward the rehabilitation of the Avenidas building and other City projects as directed by the City Council. If the TDRs do not attract qualified bidders and are not sold at the offered price of $275 per square foot after the initial RFP, Staff will return to the City Council for direction. TIMELINE Staff will return to City Council in the future with results of the bids received in accordance with the release of the RFP. In the meantime, the Avenidas project will continue its progress toward completion. RESOURCE IMPACT Sale of these TDRs will eventually result in revenue funds to be allocated toward to the rehabilitation work of the Avenidas Building and, through reimbursement of the Community Center Impact Fee Fund, potentially the JMZ. The release of the RFP is anticipated with an expectation that the market conditions for these instruments are strong. The minimum bid will start at $275 per square foot. At that price, if sold, the TDRs for the Avenidas Building alone will generate $2,526,700 toward the construction budget for the rehabilitation of the Avenidas Building. TDRs from the College Terrace Building, if sold will generate an additional $687,500. The City will segregate the fund into which all proceeds from the sale of TDRs will be deposited to be released toward rehabilitation and construction cost of designated City-owned buildings. Based on the above sale estimates, a total of $3,214,200 will be generated, of which $2.5 million is committed to Avenidas, leaving a balance of $714,200 that would be available to reimburse the Community Center Impact Fee Fund, which would then b e used to support the JMZ project. The City is committed to an initial $3.9 million, and proposes to commit an additional $2.0 million by year 2020 to support the JMZ project. Please see letter from City Manager to Dick Peery (Attachment B) describing the additional commitments requested for the JMZ project. The current balance in the Community Center Development Impact Fee Fund is $3,461,279. After meeting the City’s commitment to Avenidas and JMZ, there will be a negative balance of $(1,724,521) in the Community Center Impact Fee Fund. The sale of TDRs at price points above the minimum set price of $275 will lessen the impact for additional funds on the Community Center Impact Fee Fund or other City funding sources. There is also a balance of $666,000 from the sale of Sea Scout Building TDRs in the Capital Project Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Designation of the Avenidas Building as a “sender site” in the TDR program is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitation. The issuance of TDR RFPs is not a project; however, prior to the execution and completion of the sale of the TDRs, the City will evaluate whether it is reasonably foreseeable that the transferred development rights will be used for an identified project and determine if additional CEQA review is required. The Avenidas Building rehabilitation project, expected to be funded by the sale of TDRs, is addressed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved by Council on December 12, 2016. The JMZ project, expected to be funded indirectly by the sale of TDRs, is addressed by a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved by Council on December 4, 2017.

Chapter 18.28.060(d) of the Palo Alto Municipal Code (PAMC) provides for the Council to designate city-owned buildings that are Category 1 or Category 2 on the city’s historic inventory and/or Category I, II, III on the city’s seismic hazards identification list as eligible to participate as “sender sites” in the Transfer of Development Rights program as provided in Chapter 18.18 of the Zoning Code. B. The Avenidas Building located at 450 Bryant Street in Palo Alto, is designated as a Category 2 historic building (“Major Building” of regional importance) on the City of Palo Alto Historic Inventory and is recognized as a Point of Historical Interest by the State of California. The Avenidas Building is also a Seismic Category II building. C. The Avenidas Building is undergoing rehabilitation and expansion. D. In 2015, a professional historic resources consultant completed a historic resource evaluation of the proposed rehabilitation and new addition to the building. The consultant recommended, and on May 2 6, 2015, the Palo Alto Historic Resources Board (HRB) concurred, that the Avenidas Building is properly designated a Category 2 building and that the rehabilitation project meets the definition of “historic rehabilitation” as set forth in Municipal Code Section 18.18.080. The historic resource evaluation concluded and the HRB found that the proposed historic rehabilitation plan for the building maintains the building’s identified historic character by conforming to the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation with respect to preservation of character-defining features and with respect to compatibility and differentiation of the proposed new construction. E. After the HRB meeting on May 26, 2016, the Director of Planning and Community Environment approved the recommendation of the HRB that the proposed restoration was consistent with the required criteria in the Palo Alto Municipal Code and therefore determined that the Historic Site was an eligible Sender Site for 4,594 square feet of bonus floor area ratio based on historic preservation. F. The Chief Building Official has approved the seismic retrofit upgrade as compliant with the requirements of the Seismic Retrofit ordinance, and has certified that the rehabilitation and expansion project is eligible for 4,594 square feet of bonus floor area ratio based on seismic retrofit. G. In total, the Avenidas Building is entitled to 9,188 square feet of bonus floor area ratio, to be used on site or sold as development rights according to the procedures and Attachment A NOT YET APPROVED Page 2 of 2 requirements of the Palo Alto Municipal Code. None of the 9,188 square feet of floor area ratio will be used on site. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows: SECTION 1. The Avenidas Building located at 450 Bryant Street is hereby designated as a “sender site” in the Transfer of Development Rights program . The Avenidas building is entitled to transfer 9,188 square feet of bonus floor area ratio through the Transfer of Development Rights Program, consisting of 4,594 square feet for historic rehabilitation and 4,594 square feet for seismic retrofit. SECTION 2. Designation of the Avenidas Building as a sender site in the Transfer of Development Rights program is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303, Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitation.

Such approval is discretionary, and may be granted only upon making both of the following findings: (i) The exterior modifications for the entire project comply with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (36 CFR §67,7); and (ii) The on-site use of the FAR bonus would not otherwise be inconsistent with the historic character of the interior and exterior of the building and site. (B) The applicant for on-site use of a cumulative floor area bonus shall have the burden of demonstrating the facts necessary to support the findings required for council approval. (c) Transfer of Floor Area Bonuses The floor area bonuses described in subsection (a), except the floor area bonus in subsection (a)(1), may be transferred to a non-historic receiver site as described in Section 18.18.080. Such transfer shall not be subject to the discretionary council approval set forth in subsection (b)(8). (d) Procedure for Granting of Floor Area Bonuses The floor area bonuses described in subsection (a), except the bonus described in subsection (a)(1), shall be granted in accordance with the following requirements: (1) An application for such floor area bonus(es) must be filed with the director of planning and community environment in the form prescribed by the director, stating the amount of such bonus(es) applied for, the basis therefor under this section, and the extent to which such bonus(es) are proposed to be used on-site and/or for transfer. An application for floor area bonus for rehabilitation of a Category 1 or 2 historic building shall include a historic structure report, prepared by a qualified expert, retained by the city, at the applicant’s expense, in accordance with the standards and guidelines of the California State Office of Historic Preservation. It shall also include a plan for rehabilitation; if any part of the existing building is proposed to be removed or replaced, the historic rehabilitation project plans submitted for review shall clearly show and identify any and all material proposed for removal or replacement. (2) The city may retain an expert in historic rehabilitation or preservation, at the applicant’s expense, to provide the city with an independent evaluation of the project’s conformity with the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitation Historic Buildings.” (3) The historic resources board shall review the historic structure report, the historic rehabilitation project plans, and, if required, the expert independent evaluation of the project, and make a recommendation to the director of planning and community environment on the project’s conformity with the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitation Historic Buildings.” (4) Upon completion of such an application, written determination of the sender site’s eligibility for bonus(es) shall be issued by the director of planning and community environment or the director’s designee, based upon the following: (A) In the case of a floor area bonus for seismic rehabilitation, the chief building official has made a determination that the project complies with or exceeds the analysis standards referenced in Chapter 16.42 of this code; (B) In the case of the floor area bonus for historic rehabilitation of a building in Historic Category 1 or 2, the director, taking into consideration the recommendations of the historic resources board, has found that the project complies with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings (36 CFR §67,7); and (C) In the case of a bonus for both seismic and historic rehabilitation that is proposed to be use on-site, the city council has made the findings set forth in subsection (b)(8) of this section. (e) Certification of FAR Bonuses The floor area bonuses described in subsection (a), except the bonus described in subsection (a)(1), may be used on the site of the proposed seismic and/or historic rehabilitation project and a building permit issued therefor only upon satisfaction of all the requirements in subsection (d) above. Upon determining that the project has been completed as approved, or in the case of city- owned buildings upon completion of all of the requirements of Chapter 18.28, the director or director’s designee shall issue a written certification which shall state the total floor area bonus utilized at the site (in the case of buildings in the CD-Commercial Downtown District), and the amount (if any) of remaining floor area bonus which is eligible for transfer to another site pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. The certification shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder and a copy shall be provided to the applicant. As a condition precedent to being credited with a historic rehabilitation floor area bonus whether for use on-site or for transfer, the owner of the site shall enter into an unsubordinated protective covenant running with the land in favor of the city (or, if the city is the owner, in favor of a qualified and disinterested third party if the property is to be rehabilitated after the sale of the transfer of development rights), in a form satisfactory to the city attorney, to assure that the property will be rehabilitated and maintained in accordance with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, together with the accompanying interpretive Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings, as they may be amended from time to time. For city owned buildings subject to a long term lease of ten or more years where the rehabilitation work is to be performed by the lessee, this protective covenant shall be in favor of the city. (Ord. 5214 § 2, 2013: Ord. 5038 § 1, 2009: Ord. 4964 § 15, 2007: Ord. 4923 § 4 (part), 2006) 18.18.080 Transfer of Development Rights (a) Purpose The purpose of this section is to implement the Comprehensive Plan by encouraging seismic rehabilitation of buildings in Seismic Categories I, II, and III, and encouraging historic rehabilitation of buildings or sites in Historic Category 1 and 2, and by establishing standards and procedures for the transfer of specified development rights from such sites to other eligible sites. Except as provided in subsection (e)(1) and for city-owned properties as provided in Chapter 18.28, this section is applicable only to properties located in the CD district, and is the exclusive procedure for transfer of development rights for properties so zoned. (b) Establishment of Forms The city may from time to time establish application forms, submittal requirements, fees and such other requirements and guidelines as will aid in the efficient implementation of this chapter. (c) Eligibility for Transfer of Development Rights Transferable development rights may be transferred to an eligible receiver site upon: (1) Certification by the city pursuant to Section 18.18.070 of the floor area from the sender site which is eligible for transfer; and (2) Compliance with the transfer procedures set forth in subsection (h). (d) Availability of Receiver Sites The city does not guarantee that at all times in the future there will be sufficient eligible receiver sites to receive such transferable development rights. (e) Eligible Receiver Sites A site is eligible to be a receiver site only if it meets all of the following criteria: (1) It is located in the CD commercial downtown district, or is located in a planned community (PC) district if the property was formerly located in the CD commercial downtown district and the ordinance rezoning the property to planned community (PC) approves the use of transferable development rights on the site. (2) It is neither an historic site, nor a site containing a historic structure, as those terms are defined in Section 16.49.020(e) of Chapter 16.49 of this code; and (3) The site is either: (A) Located at least 150 feet from any property zoned for residential use, not including property in planned community zones or in commercial zones within the downtown boundaries where mixed use projects are. (B) Separated from residentially zoned property by a city street with a width of at least 50 feet, and separated from residentially zoned property by an intervening property zoned CD-C, CD-S, or CD-N, which intervening property has a width of not less than 50 feet. (f) Limitations On Usage of Transferable Development Rights No otherwise eligible receiver site shall be allowed to utilize transferable development rights under this chapter to the extent such transfer would: (1) Be outside the boundaries of the downtown parking assessment district, result in a maximum floor area ratio of 0.5 to 1 above what exists or would otherwise be permitted for that site under Section 18.18.060, whichever is greater, or result in total additional floor area of more than 10,000 square feet. (2) Be within the boundaries of the downtown parking assessment district, result in a maximum floor area ratio of 1.0 to 1 above what exists, or would otherwise be permitted for that site under Section 18.18.060, whichever is greater, or result in total additional floor area of more than 10,000 square feet. (3) Cause the development limitation or project size limitation set forth in Section 18.18.40 to be exceeded. (4) Cause the site to exceed 3.0 to 1 FAR in the CD-C subdistrict or 2.0 to 1 FAR in the CD-S or CD-N subdistricts. (g) Parking Requirements Any square footage allowed to be transferred to a receiver site pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to the parking regulations applicable to the district in which the receiver site is located. (h) Transfer Procedure Transferable development rights may be transferred from a sender site (or sites) to a receiver site only in accordance with all of the following requirements: (1) An application pursuant to Chapter 16.48 of this code for major ARB review of the project proposed for the receiver site must be filed. The application shall include: (A) A statement that the applicant intends to use transferable development rights for the project; (B) Identification of the sender site(s) and the amount of TDRs proposed to be transferred; and (C) Evidence that the applicant owns the transferable development rights or a signed statement from any other owner(s) of the TDRs that the specified amount of floor area is available for the proposed project and will be assigned for its use. (2) The application shall not be deemed complete unless and until the city determines that the TDRs proposed to be used for the project are available for that purpose. (3) In reviewing a project proposed for a receiver site pursuant to this section, the architectural review board shall review the project in accordance with Section 16.48.120 of this code; however, the project may not be required to be modified for the sole purpose of reducing square footage unless necessary in order to satisfy the criteria for approval under Chapter 16.48 or any specific requirement of the municipal code. (4) Following ARB approval of the project on the receiver site, and prior to issuance of building permits, the director of planning and community environment or the director’s designee shall issue written confirmation of the transfer, which identifies both the sender and receiver sites and the amount of TDRs which have been transferred. This confirmation shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder prior to the issuance of building permits and shall include the written consent or assignment by the owner(s) of the TDRs where such owner(s) are other than the applicant. (i) Purchase or Conveyance of TDRs - Documentation (1) Transferable development rights may be sold or otherwise conveyed by their owner(s) to another party. However, no such sale or conveyance shall be effective unless evidenced by a recorded document, signed by the transferor and transferee and in a form designed to run with the land and satisfactory to the city attorney. The document shall clearly identify the sender site and the amount of floor area transferred and shall also be filed with the department of planning and community environment. (2) Where transfer of TDRs is made directly to a receiver site, the recorded confirmation of transfer described in subsection (h)(4) shall satisfy the requirements of this section. (Ord. 5214 § 3, 2013: Ord. 4923 § 4 (part), 2006) Attachment D POLICY AND PROCEDURES 1‐46/ASD Effective: September 2005 Updated: September 2015 PROCEDURE FOR SALE/TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS FOR CITY‐OWNED PROPERTY POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of the City of Palo Alto that the disposal of City property and assets, including the transfer of certified development rights, be accomplished through a public bid process.

City of Palo Alto (ID # 9284) City Council Staff Report Report Type: Action Items Meeting Date: 5/29/2018 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Initial Screening of Ideas for Further Study Title: Connecting Palo Alto Rail Program Status Update and Initial Screening of Ideas for Further Study (Continued From May 14, 2018) From: City Manager Lead Department: Planning and Community Env ironment Recommendation The City Council Rail Committee and Staff recommend that Council receive a report on the status of the Connecting Palo Alto Rail Program , approve moving forward with ten specific grade separation options, and authorize polling if Staff deems appropriate. Executive Summary The City of Palo Alto currently has four at-grade crossings of the Caltrain tracks that divide the City. With much needed Caltrain service enhancements underway (and High Speed Rail a possibility for the future), gate closures at these crossings are expected to increase delays to motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists substantially in the future. As a result, the City Council has prioritized planning for grade separations and the City Council Rail Committee has be en gathering public input and working to identify a handful of alternatives for in depth analysis. This agenda item is intended to provide the full Council with a status report on the planning process and approval of the Rail Committee’s initial screening to ten ideas for further study. The Council will have an opportunity to take further action on screening of ideas for in depth analysis in June. The ten Ideas recommended by the Rail Committee are listed below and the process used to derive them is described in Attachment B. Each Idea would affect one or more individual rail crossings and once the list of Ideas is further refined, they would ultimately need to be combined as a “preferred solution” (“preferred alternative” in CEQA parlance) to address Palo Alto’s entire rail corridor for environmental review purposes. 1. CAH - Churchill Avenue roadway under railroad hybrid 2. CAR - Churchill Avenue roadway over railroad reverse hybrid 3. CAX - Churchill Avenue crossing closed; improvement options include: widen existing Embarcadero Road undercrossing, add new traffic signals at Embarcadero Road ramps, City of Palo Alto Page 2 build bike/ped crossing at Churchill Avenue, and/or build Seale Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Peers Park and Stanford Avenue bicycle boulevard 4. MCL - Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad over roadway hybrid and build Loma Verde Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Margarita Avenue bicycle boulevard 5. MCR - Meadow Drive and Charleston Road roadway over railroad reverse hybrid and build Loma Verde Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Margarita Avenue bicycle boulevard 6. MCT - Meadow Drive and Charleston Road roadway over railroad trench or tunnel; Alma Street would not be within trench or tunnel (maintains Alma Street connections to Meadow Drive and Charleston Road) 7. MCV - Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad over roadway viaduct 8. PAH - Continue proposed Menlo Park railroad over roadway hybrid and/or viaduct across San Francisquito Creek and Palo Alto Avenue 9. PCX - Palo Alto Avenue crossing closed; improvement options include: build an Everett Avenue bike/ped undercrossing and widen University Avenue 10. WBP - City-wide deep-bore railroad under roadway tunnel within Palo Alto city limits with two new underground rail stations Background At its February 5, 2018 retreat, the City Council adopted “Selecting a preferred grade separation alternative by December 2018” as its goal under the Council priority of Grade Separations. This goal was set based on understanding the time sensitivity of decisions needed in orde r to expeditiously plan, fund, design, and construct the rail grade separations needed to address community safety, access, and traffic congestion concerns throughout Palo Alto. Even under an aggressive timeline, the steps necessary to proceed with comple ting grade separations will likely span the upcoming decade. These steps and the timeframes involved are summarized below: City of Palo Alto Page 3 Figure 1. Connecting Palo Alto Timeline Date Action / Milestone 2018 1-Apr-18 Award new consultant agreement 30-Jun-18 Select alternatives to analyze 13-Dec-18 Select preferred alternative 2019 30-Jun-19 Circulate Draft EIR 31-Dec-19 Certify EIR & select preferred alternative 2020 31-Jan-20 Approve agency agreements for managing construction 1-Feb-20 Begin preliminary design 1-Dec-20 Begin final design 2021 1-Nov-21 Acquire properties? 2022 1-Nov-22 Obtain agency permits/ approvals 2023 31-Jan-23 Award and construct project(s) 1-Mar-23 Start construction 2028 31-Dec-28 Finish construction Source: City Of Palo Alto, February 2018 Achieving the timeline described above is dependent on the City’s ability to select a preferred alternative by the end of 2018. Over the last year, the City has undertaken an extensive City of Palo Alto Page 4 citywide engagement effort to establish a broad awareness of the need and issues associated with constructing rail grade separations to ensure Palo Alto’s community connectedness is maintained in the face of imminent electrification and increased train traffic on the Caltrain corridor. This has generated 34 discrete Ideas for grade separations, which the Rail Committee is currently reviewing in anticipation of a City Council deci sion on a discrete list of 4-8 Ideas for further study before the Council’s summer break. For more information on the Connecting Palo Alto: Rail Program, and the work completed to- date, please visit http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/connectingpaloalto. Throughout 2017 and early 2018, community comments were collected through a project website, stakeholder interviews, an on-line questionnaire with 800 responses, two community workshops with 228 attendees, and four community roundtables with 381 attendees. To -date, Staff has received an additional 63 public comments or inquiries related to the project. All of the input received has been entered into a public comment database. Figure 1. Alternatives Screening Diagram Source: City of Palo Alto, March 2018 Staff has reviewed all of the input received to-date and drafted a Master List of Ideas. This list contains all of the various grade separation projects suggested by members of the public and as a result of previous planning efforts. A total of 34 discrete Ideas were identified by Staff (this was previously described as ~40 Ideas). This Master List of Ideas is included as Attachment C. As presented at the City Council retreat and Rail Committee meeting in February, the program goals for 2018 are to identify four (4) to eight (8) Alternatives for Study in June and select a Preferred Solution for Environmental Analysis and Preliminary Design by the end of the year. In order to move toward the goal of identification of the handful of Alternatives for Study, Staff recommends the early elimination of financially or technically infeasible Ideas through the use of Initial Screening Criteria, which are based on the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Evaluation Criteria adopted City of Palo Alto Page 5 by City Council on September 6, 2017. A glossary of the terms used in this staff report is included below. Glossary Option: A standard type of railroad grade crossing improvement or grade separation treatment. Examples of Options include: safety upgrades, closure, road under rail, road over rail, hybrid, rail under road, and rail over road. Idea: An initial concept for a treatment at one or more specific grade crossings. An Idea has not been evaluated for financial feasibility or constructability. Master List of Ideas: A comprehensive list of all grade crossing treatment Ideas. All Ideas on The Master List of Ideas were identified in public comments or in previous planning efforts. Alternative for Study: An Idea that has been initially screened for financial and technical feasibility and selected for further analysis. The cost to further analyze each Alternative for Study is estimated at $200,000 to $300,000*. Solution: A combination of one Alternative for Study for each of the four grade crossings (e.g., closing one crossing, putting a hybrid at two crossings, and putting a trench at one crossing would equal one Solution). The Alternatives for Study within a Solution must be compatible with one another. Preferred Solution: The Solution selected by City Council to move into the environmental analysis and preliminary design phase as the “preferred alternative” for CEQA purposes in 2019. * The further analysis of an Alternative for Study will likely include traffic circulation and multi - modal access evaluations, geotechnical investigations, structural type selections, hydraulic analysis, utility conflict evaluations, constraints analysis, preliminary cost analysis, economic and community impact analysis, construction phasing impacts, and multi -modal transportation impact analysis). Figure 2. Adopted Evaluation Criteria City of Palo Alto Page 6 Source: City of Palo Alto, March 12, 2018 Discussion Staff conducted an Initial Screening of the Master List of Ideas which identified a total of 18 Ideas for potential early elimination, leaving 16 Ideas on the Master List of Ideas. Staff then incorporated Rail Committee and Technical Advisory Committee feedback to further refine the Initial Screening of the Master List of Ideas, and presented 10 Ideas to the Rail Committee on April 18, 2018. This elimination, selection, and refinement process is summarized in Attachment B. The ten (10) Grade Separation Ideas recommended by the Rail Committee are summarized below and included in Attachment A.

This has generated 34 discrete Ideas for grade separations, which the Rail Committee is currently reviewing in anticipation of a City Council decision on a discrete list of 4-8 ideas for further study before the Council’s summer break. Using the methodology outlined below, Staff conducted an Initial Screening exercise based on the adopted Evaluation Criteria, as well as three new criteria: 1) Estimated Community Support, 2) Constructability, and 3) Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Opinion. Much of this scoring is qualitative in nature and relies on the professional judgement of Staff. An internal working group comprised of staff from the Planning and Community Environment Department, Public Works Department, and Utilities Department coordinated on the evaluation under the technical screening criteria. It’s important to recognize, however, that cumulatively, a minor change to the score under one criterion is unlikely to change the results of the Initial Screening. Two exceptions to this are the so-called Fatal Flaw criteria of 1) Funding Feasibility and 2) Constructability. It will likely be the Staff recommendation that the Ideas that face substantial funding or construction challenges be removed from consideration. An additional criterion on TAC Opinion remains blank, as the Master List of Ideas was not presented to the Connecting Palo Alto: Rail Program Technical Advisory Committee until March 13, 2018. Tier 1 Evaluation Criteria Facilitate Movement – All Modes At year of completion, the project will likely improve access and mobility compared to a scenario with no project. At year of completion, the project will likely result in similar levels of access and mobility compared to a scenario with no project. At year of completion, the project will likely worsen access and mobility compared to a scenario with no project. Reduce Delay and Congestion At year of completion, the project will likely decrease motor vehicle delay at signalized intersections compared to a scenario with no project. At year of completion, the project will likely result in similar levels of motor vehicle delay at signalized intersections compared to a scenario with no project. At year of completion, the project will likely increase motor vehicle delay at signalized intersections compared to a scenario with no project. Ped-Bike Circulation The project is likely to substantially improve bicyclist and pedestrian connectivity across the rail corridor and between key destinations. The project is likely to moderately improve bicyclist and pedestrian connectivity across the rail corridor and between key destinations. The project is likely to degrade bicyclist and pedestrian connectivity across the rail corridor and between key destinations. Support Rail Operations The project will likely facilitate improved rail operations. The project will likely have no impact on rail operations. The project will likely constrain flexibility for future rail operations and expansion of service. Funding Feasibility (Fatal Flaw) ✔It’s possible that the entire project can be funded with established revenue sources. X It’s possible that the majority of the project can be funded with established revenue sources, although some portion of the project will likely require new funding mechanisms, and that portion is likely to be eligible for competitive grant funding. X The estimated cost of the project likely exceeds the capacity of existing revenue sources and potential new funding mechanisms, and the project would be unlikely to be eligible for competitive grant funding. Tier 2 Evaluation Criteria Reduce Noise The project will likely reduce noise from trains—air horns and roadway crossing warning bells—while not increasing other noise. The project will likely reduce some sources of noise—air horns and roadway crossing warning bells—while potentially increasing the degree or intensity of noise from other sources. The project will likely not reduce noise. Minimize Visual Changes The project will likely either improve or not substantially alter the appearance of the project area. The project will moderately alter the appearance of the project area. The project will likely substantially alter the appearance of the project area. Minimize Right-of-Way The project will likely require very minimal or no permanent property acquisition. The project will likely require moderate permanent property acquisition, possibly impacting only small portions of affected parcels. The project will likely require substantial permanent property acquisition. Minimize Construction Impacts The extent and duration of project construction will likely have minimal impact on the public and be mostly within the existing railroad right-of-way. The extent and duration of project construction will likely have a moderate impact on the public and be partially outside the existing railroad right-of-way. The extent and duration of project construction will likely have a significant impact on the public and be mostly outside the existing railroad right-of-way. Estimated Community Support Based on recent community engagement activities, Staff believes that the project may have broad support within the community. Based on recent community engagement activities, Staff believes that the project may have some support within the community. Based on recent community engagement activities, Staff believes that the project may have little support in the community. Constructability (Fatal Flaw) ✔Project can be constructed under existing technical standards and within existing political framework. “Political framework” refers to the City’s ability to obtain necessary approvals from other agencies. X Project cannot be constructed under existing technical standards or within existing political framework. X Project cannot be constructed under existing technical standards and within existing political framework. TAC Opinion The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the Master List of Ideas and provided feedback, but did not score each individual idea. TAC comments are summarized below. The breadth of ideas being explored is good and provides a robust level of analysis Traffic analysis would be helpful, especially for closures No build options may not be realistic or feasible No build options were not considered for Measure B funding The impact of high speed rail on no build options could be significant Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossings Plans should consider the wider impact on the network. The most important attribute to the city bike/ped network is the distance between crossings of the rail corridor. Do grade separation options help with other problems? Public Safety Response Times - need to factor into decisions, especially with regards to Closures Detailed Right of Way Impacts are not available until a full analysis is conducted A total of 18 Ideas were identified by Staff for potential early elimination, which would leave 16 Ideas on the Master List of Ideas. The first group of Ideas identified by Staff for potential early elimination were based on the Funding Feasibility Fatal Flaw. These Ideas were eliminated because the estimated cost of the projects likely exceeds the capacity of existing revenue sources and potential new funding mechanisms, and the projects would be unlikely to be eligible for competitive grant funding. These Ideas are summarized below. Ideas with Funding Feasibility Fatal Flaw WBE Citywide deep bore railroad tunnel from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits under El Camino Real with two new underground rail stations WBR Citywide deep bore railroad tunnel from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits under existing rail corridor with two new underground rail stations WCE Citywide cut-and-cover railroad tunnel from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits under El Camino Real with two new underground rail stations WCR Citywide cut-and-cover railroad tunnel from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits under existing railroad corridor with two new underground rail stations WTR Citywide railroad under roadway trench within existing railroad right-of-way from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits with two new depressed rail stations CAT Railroad under roadway trench at Churchill Avenue crossing MDA No grade separation at Meadow Drive crossing; depress Alma Street into trench within existing Alma Street right-of-way under Meadow Drive (no connection between Meadow Drive and Alma Street) The second group of Ideas identified by Staff for potential early elimination were based on the Constructability Fatal Flaw. These Ideas were eliminated because the projects cannot be constructed under existing technical standards and within existing political framework. These Ideas are summarized below. Ideas with Constructability Fatal Flaw MCA Railroad under roadway trench within existing railroad corridor from Meadow Drive to Charleston Road; Alma Street within trench (no connections between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road) WER Citywide railroad berm from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits within existing rail corridor with two new elevated stations WVR Citywide railroad viaduct from Menlo Park city limits to Mountain View city limits within existing rail corridor with two new elevated stations PAT Connect Alma Street south of Palo Alto Avenue to Sand Hill Road with a roadway undercrossing beneath the railroad corridor and El Camino Real; dead-end Palo Alto Avenue east of Alma Street; connect the bicycle path from Menlo Park to El Camino Park PCA Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and connect Alma Street to Alma Street in Menlo Park PCQ Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and extend Quarry Road under rail corridor to Alma Street to tie into Lytton Avenue CAK Close Churchill Avenue crossing and build a a new bicycle and pedestrian crossing near Kellogg Avenue to connect to the existing Embarcadero Shared-use Path MDU Roadway under railroad undercrossing at Meadow Drive crossing (maintain Alma Street connection) CRA Roadway under railroad undercrossing at Charleston Road crossing (no connection between Charleston Road and Alma Street) CRO Roadway over railroad overcrossing at Charleston Road crossing (no connection between Charleston Road and Alma Street) CRU Roadway under railroad undercrossing at Charleston Road crossing (maintain connection between Charleston Road and Alma Street) The 16 remaining Ideas are summarized below, and reflect the results of Initial Screening only. Some of these Ideas may prove unworkable and/or be viewed unfavorably by the community as the screening process moves forward. Ultimately, the City Council will be asked to identify four (4) to eight (8) Ideas worthy of in-depth analysis. Ideas that Include Grade Crossing Closure Option CAE Close Churchill Avenue crossing and widen existing Embarcadero Road roadway undercrossing CAS Close Churchill Avenue crossing and build a new bicycle and pedestrian crossing near the planned Seale Avenue bicycle boulevard to connect to the existing Peers Park and planned Stanford Avenue bicycle boulevard MDL Close Meadow Drive crossing and build a new bicycle and pedestrian crossing near Loma Verde Avenue to connect to the planned Matadero Avenue bicycle boulevard PCE Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and build planned Everett Avenue bicycle and pedestrian undercrossing PCU Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and widen existing University Avenue roadway undercrossing Ideas that Include Hybrid Option (Railroad Raised Slightly and Roadway Depressed Slightly) CAH Roadway under railroad hybrid at Churchill Avenue crossing CRH Roadway under railroad hybrid at Charleston Road crossing (maintain connection between Charleston Road and Alma Street) MCH Roadway under rail hybrid at Meadow Drive and Charleston Road crossings MCL Roadway under railroad hybrid at Meadow Drive and Charleston Road crossings; new hybrid path under rail bicycle and pedestrian crossing near Loma Verde Avenue MDH Roadway under railroad hybrid at Meadow Drive crossing (maintain connection between Meadow Drive and Alma Street) PAH Continue proposed Menlo Park hybrid alternative across San Francisquito Creek and Palo Alto Avenue on a viaduct structure Ideas that Include No Build Option (Safety Upgrades Only) CAN No grade separation at Churchill Avenue crossing; implement minor safety improvements (quad-gates and wayside horns) in addition to planned Section 130 project to be completed in 2018-2019. MDN No grade separation at Meadow Drive crossing; implement minor safety improvements (quad- gates and wayside horns) in addition to potential Section 130 project to be completed in 2020- 2022. PAN No grade separation at Palo Alto Avenue crossing; implement minor safety improvements (quad-gates and wayside horns) with the goal of making a quiet zone Ideas that Include Rail under Road Option MCT Railroad under roadway trench from Meadow Drive to Charleston Road; Alma Street not within trench (maintain connections between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road) MCX Railroad under roadway trench at Charleston Road; Close Meadow Drive crossing; Alma Street not within trench (maintain connections between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road) Throughout March and early April, Staff received Connecting Palo Alto: Rail Program Technical Advisory Committee feedback on the Master List of Ideas and also met with key stakeholders to review the results of the Initial Screening of the Master List of Ideas. On March 21, 2018, staff presented the Initial Screening of the Master List of Ideas to the Rail Committee. Based on feedback from the Rail Committee, and additional feedback from the Technical Advisory Committee, staff further refined the Initial Screening of the Master List of Ideas. An additional 4 Ideas were identified by Staff for potential early elimination, 6 Ideas were combined into 3 Ideas, and 1 Idea was added per the recommendation of the Technical A dvisory Committee, leaving 10 Ideas on the Master List of Ideas. The following refinements were made: Removed unnecessary Ideas. MCX [Railroad under roadway trench at Charleston Road; Close Meadow Drive crossing; Alma Street not within trench (maintain connections between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road] was removed because there is no design benefit compared to MCT (Railroad under roadway trench from Meadow Drive to Charleston Road; Alma Street not within trench (maintain connections between Meadow Drive and Charleston Road)). A 2% grade is still required south of Charleston Rd. Remove adjacent Ideas. MDH (Roadway under railroad hybrid at Meadow Drive crossing (maintain connection between Meadow Drive and Alma Street)) and CRH (Roadway under railroad hybrid at Charleston Road crossing (maintain connection between Charleston Road and Alma Street)) were removed because there is no design benefit when compared to a hybrid option that includes both Meadow Dr. and Charleston Rd. MDL (Close Meadow Drive crossing and build a new bicycle and pedestrian crossing near Loma Verde Avenue to connect to the planned Matadero Avenue bicycle boulevard) was removed because there is no design benefit to closing Meadow without addressing Charleston Rd. Merge Overlapping Ideas. MCH (Roadway under rail hybrid at Meadow Drive and Charleston Road crossings) was merged with MCL (Roadway under railroad hybrid at Meadow Drive and Charleston Road crossings; new hybrid path under rail bicycle and pedestrian crossing near Loma Verde Avenue) because there is no design benefit for MCH when compared to MCL. Combine Similar Ideas. PCE (Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and build planned Everett Avenue bicycle and pedestrian undercrossing) and PCU (Close Palo Alto Avenue crossing and widen existing University Avenue roadway undercrossing) were combined into PCX, with a list of possible improvements options to choose from (Palo Alto Ave. Crossing closed; Improvement options include: build Everett Ave. bike/ped undercrossing and widen University Ave.). CAE (Close Churchill Avenue crossing and widen existing Embarcadero Road roadway undercrossing) and CAS (Close Churchill Avenue crossing and build a new bicycle and pedestrian crossing near the planned Seale Avenue bicycle boulevard to connect to the existing Peers Park and planned Stanford Avenue bicycle boulevard) were combined into CAX, with a list of possible improvements options to choose from (Churchill Ave. crossing closed; Improvement options include: widen existing Embarcadero Rd. undercrossing, add new traffic signals at Embarcadero Rd. ramp, and build bike/ped crossing near planned Seale Ave. bike boulevard to connect to Peers Park and Stanford Ave. bike boulevard). Add Technical Advisory Committee Suggestion. Caltrain recommended exploring both a Road over Rail Hybrid as well as a Road under Rail Hybrid. Staff added MCR (Meadow Dr. and Charleston Rd. crossings with roadway over railroad Reverse Hybrid; new hybrid bike/ped path under rail near Loma Verde Ave.) These 10 Ideas were presented to the Rail Committee on April 18, 2018. Council Member Scharff moved, seconded by Council Member Fine, to recommend the City Council move forward with the 10 Grade Separation Options recommended by Staff with the following changes: A. With the addition of Reverse Hybrid Option at Churchill Avenue; B. Add "and/or viaduct” to the recommended Palo Alto Avenue Hybrid Options; C. With the addition of a Viaduct Option for Meadow Drive and Charleston Road; D. Remove, No Build/Do Nothing Options from consideration, except for as needed for California Environmental Quality Act concerns; E. With the addition of a Citywide Tunnel Option beginning and ending within Palo Alto; F. Add, “or tunnel” to the MCT Option; and G. Authorize Staff to conduct polling if Staff deems this appropriate. The ten (10) Grade Separation Ideas recommended by the Rail Committee are summarized below. Ideas that Include Grade Crossing Closure Option PCX Palo Alto Avenue crossing closed; improvement options include: build an Everett Avenue bike/ped undercrossing and widen University Avenue CAX Churchill Avenue crossing closed; improvement options include: widen existing Embarcadero Road undercrossing, add new traffic signals at Embarcadero Road ramps, build bike/ped crossing at Churchill Avenue, and/or build Seale Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Peers Park and Stanford Avenue bicycle boulevard Ideas that Include Reverse Hybrid Option (Roadway Raised Slightly & Railroad Depressed Slightly) CAR Churchill Avenue roadway over railroad reverse hybrid MCR Meadow Drive and Charleston Road roadway over railroad reverse hybrid and build Loma Verde Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Margarita Avenue bicycle boulevard Ideas that Include Hybrid Option (Railroad Raised Slightly and Roadway Depressed Slightly) PAH Continue proposed Menlo Park railroad over roadway hybrid and/or viaduct across San Francisquito Creek and Palo Alto Avenue CAH Churchill Avenue railroad over roadway hybrid MCL Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad over roadway hybrid and build Loma Verde Avenue bike/ped crossing to connect to Margarita Avenue bicycle boulevard Ideas that Include Railroad under Roadway Option MCT Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad under roadway trench or tunnel; Alma Street would not be within trench or tunnel (maintains Alma Street connections to Meadow Drive and Charleston Road) WBP City-wide deep-bore railroad under roadway tunnel within Palo Alto city limits with two new underground rail stations Ideas that Include Railroad over Roadway Option MCV Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad over roadway viaduct City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 4/30/2018 10:39 AM 1 Carnahan, David From:Maurizio Gianola <maurizio.gianola@gmail.com> Sent:Thursday, April 26, 2018 4:53 PM To:Council, City Cc:A0 Maurizio Gianola; A1 Sabrina Corvo Subject:Citizen Concern Regarding Rail Grade Separation Dear Palo Alto City Council, There is growing concern within my local community, the North Old Palo Alto (NOPA) Community, regarding the imminent rail grade-separation project under review by the City. We are very supportive of the coming rail electrification and modernization initiatives, but we are concerned about the financial, community, environmental and safety implications of a subset of the grade separation options currently under consideration, specifically at Churchill Avenue. Our community members have become very actively involved in the City’s Connecting Palo Alto initiative, have attended several meetings with City staff, have read all the various research by the consultants on the project, and have started to hold local community meetings to become activated on these issues. We believe that there are some critically important elements missing from the current process and analyses that should be part of the City’s core guiding principles in considering these various grade separation proposals. Specifically, the NOPA Community members believe that the following principles are not yet adequately being factored into the City’s process or research and should be prioritized: (1) Complete Financial Impact, including the multi-hundred million dollar cost of Eminent Domain that would be required in some proposals; (2) Community Impact given that some options would eliminate dozens of families’ homes and destroy entire neighborhoods; (3) Leverage of Existing Infrastructure given that some options are being considered in isolation despite massive existing adjacent investments; and, (4) Safety Impact given that any proposals should address known safety concerns of our pedestrians and bicycling student/children. In order to properly communicate our concerns, we ask you to: (a) Please read our Community Letter to Palo Alto City Council (http://www.northoldpaloalto.org/community_letter_to_city_council), which lays out our concerns and proposals that we believe will provide for East-West traffic flows and pedestrian safety in the most cost- effective, community-sensitive way for the community at large. (b) Please meet with us to discuss our concerns and issues face-to-face. We would be happy to come to City City of Palo Alto | City Clerk's Office | 4/30/2018 10:39 AM 2 Hall or welcome you to our home(s). Please let us know what is optimal for you. Please let us know when a meeting would be convenient for you. Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

Buckeye Creek Hydrology Study Buckeye Creek, which originates in Foothills Park, has long standing erosion and flooding problems. During heavy storms high flows result in down-cutting of the creek and erosion. The eroded sediments wash downstream and deposit in various locations along the creek, which is especially evident along the 7.7 acre parcel located in the northern boundary of Foothills Park. Here the deposited sediment can lead to flooding and can obstruct downstream culverts on private properties during heavy rain events. To better understand the cause of the down-cutting and erosion and identify solutions, the City contracted with ENGEO in July 2016 to study the hydrology of Buckeye Creek and to provide recommendations to reduce erosion, sediment deposition, and flooding conditions in Foothills Park and the 7.7 acre parcel of parkland (Staff Report ID # 6957). The consultant developed a preferred alternative conceptual design, which was created using the results of the hydraulic analysis, and feedback from community meetings, regulatory agencies, and the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission). The preferred alternative proposes to restore and modify portions of Buckeye Creek by widening the creek channel to create seasonal wetland floodplains in the lower reach (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7 acres parcel), and creating a new creek channel in the upper reach (Wildhorse Valley); as well as retrofitting the existing grade control City of Palo Alto Page 2 structures and replacing the pedestrian bridge in the lower reach, which are near the end of their useful lifespans. The preferred alternative represents a comprehensive solution to the creek’s erosion problem. The cost of the preferred alternative (including design, environmental review, permitting, and construction) is approximately $9.5 million. The Hydrology Study report includes a detailed description and itemized cost estimate for all the elements of the preferred alternative. The Hydrology Study report discusses options for implementing the different elements of the preferred alternative. On January 23, 2018, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that Council direct staff to pursue outside funding to implement the portion of proposed work that includes creating a new creek channel in the upper reach (Wildhorse Valley) and retrofitting the existing grade control structures throughout the creek (approximate cost: $3.7 million). The Commission’s recommendation also included directing staff to request $150,000 in the Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Improvement Plan for design and permitting to replace grade control structures and the pedestrian bridge located at the creek across from the Foothills Park Interpretive Center. Adding $150,000 to the Capital Plan provides an option for funding interim improvements if the City is not able to obtain outside funding to implement the recommendation. Two key factors leading to this recommendation are the City’s significant capital budget gap, and the fact that creating a new creek channel in the upper reach of the creek (Wildhorse Valley) would resolve approximately 50% of the creek’s erosion and sedimentation issue. Staff will investigate potential grants and other outside funding opportunities, and report back to Council at a future date. 7.7 Acres The 7.7 acre parcel (Attachment B) was a gift to the City of Palo Alto in 1981 from the Lee family. The Lee family retained an estate on the property until 1996, when it reverted to the City. From 1996 to 2005, the City leased the l and to a private resident who owns the land adjacent to the 7.7 acre parcel. Grassroots Ecology (formerly Acterra) has an agreement with the City to have a native plant nursery on a portion of the 7.7 acre parcel. In exchange for the use of the land (.53 acres), Grassroots Ecology provides the City with $10,000 in in-kind services (volunteer labor and native plants). On August 18, 2014, Council passed an ordinance dedicating the 7.7 acre parcel as park land (CMR #4881 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/43430). On August 31, 2015, Council directed staff to complete the Buckeye Creek Hydrology Study, and work with the Parks and Recreation Commission to finalize a City of Palo Alto Page 3 recommendation for Council on how to use the 7.7 acre parcel (CMR#5911https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/48641). On January 23, 2018, the Commission reviewed the completed Hydrology Study and voted unanimously to recommend to Council to direct staff to open the 7.7 acres parcel to public access, and to engage the community to finalize a recommendation for Council on how to use the 7.7 acre parcel. With the Hydrology Study now complete, staff will open the 7.7 acre park land to public access in the summer of 2018, once the necessary security fencing has been installed to protect the plant nursery and the existing 7-foot diameter culvert. Background Buckeye Creek Buckeye Creek, which originates in Foothills Park and flows to Los Trancos Creek, has long standing erosion and flooding problems. The creek was heavily modified by grading related to agricultural activities that took place prior to ownership by the City. The creek was also modified when underground utilities were installed in the 1960s. These modifications straightened and channelized the creek for approximately one mile through the park. Based on review of historic United States Geologic Survey (USGS) maps between 1898 and 1960, it appears that the alignment of Buckeye Creek is substantially different now than before agricultural uses were introduced to the area in the early 1900s. The creek channel was likely more centered in the Wildhorse and Las Trampas Valleys, and the entire valley floor likely served as an alluvial floodplain, which dissipated energy and allowed for moderate deposition and erosion processes for the creek system. The City contracted with ENGEO in July 2016 to study the hydrology of Buckeye Creek and to provide recommendations to reduce erosion, sediment deposition, and flooding conditions in Foothills Park and the 7.7 acre parcel of parkland located in the northern boundary of Foothills Park. On December 6, 2016, staff hosted a community meeting to discuss the project and initial concepts. Approximately 25 people, including stakeholders from Grassroots Ecology and Audubon Society attended the meeting. There was broad support for the initial concepts developed to solve the creek’s erosion and sediment deposition issues. On February 8, 2017, ENGEO and staff attended an inter-agency meeting with representatives from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). This informal meeting was an opportunity to collect feedback on the preliminary restoration concepts from the regulatory agencies. The agency representatives generally supported the initial restoration concepts, and provided feedback that helped guide further development of the concepts. The key elements of the feedback were that the creek should be restored to its historic City of Palo Alto Page 4 alignment to the extent practicable, and that a less engineered approach to solving issues associated with the historic modifications to the creek channel is preferred. On March 28, 2017, staff provided an update to the Commission on the initial concepts developed to help solve the creek’s erosion issues. The Commission supported the concepts; and suggested that staff and consultant further develop the concepts, host another community meeting, and return to the Commission with the draft report. The consultant completed the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, and refined the concepts of creek reconfiguration, which are designed to improve sediment transport conditions, resolve erosion issues, and restore geomorphic and biological function of the channel to historic conditions as much as possible. On June 12, 2017, staff hosted a community meeting to discuss the refined concepts. Although the number of participants was low (four members of the public), there was unanimous support for the recommended solutions to solve the creek’s erosion problem. On August 22, 2017, the Commission reviewed a draft of the Buckeye Creek Hydrology Study report. The consultant developed the report using the hydraulic analysis, and feedback from community meetings, stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and Commission. The report includes a preferred alternative conceptual design, which would restore and modify portions of Buckeye Creek by widening the creek channel to create seasonal wetland floodplains in the lower reach (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7 acres parcel), and create a new creek channel in the upper reach (Wildhorse Valley); as well as retrofit the existing grade control structures and replace the pedestrian bridge, which are near the end of their useful lifespans. The report also discusses options for implementing portions of the preferred alternative. The cost of the preferred alternative (including design, environmental review, permitting, and construction) is approximately $9.5 million. The report includes a detailed description and itemized cost estimate for all the elements of the full remediation alternative. The following is a brief summary of the different elements of the preferred alternative: Improvements to the Lower Reach (7.7 acre parcel and Las Trampas Valley) Widening the creek in the 7.7 acres of undeveloped parkland would create approximately 1.2 acres of floodplain at approximately the ordinary high water mark and extend westerly at a 2% slope approximately to the extent of the 100 -year water surface elevation. Based on hydraulic modeling performed, creating a flo odplain by lowering portions of the parcel adjacent to the current creek channel would help dissipate peak flows, equilibrate sediment transport, and enhance habitat. Energy dissipation consisting of rock rip-rap would be installed at both expansion and contraction locations, which would help with flow reduction, sediment transport equilibrium, and habitat enhancement. Trails could be built within the floodplain area, City of Palo Alto Page 5 to allow park visitors access to the creek to learn about riparian habitat, with the understanding that they would need to be maintained after large rain events. Widening the section of creek along the Las Trampas Valley would create approximately 3 acres of floodplain by removing soil material in the existing grass field, which appears to consist of fill material placed in the historic floodplain. The existing channel would be moved closer to its historic alignment, and the grade adjusted to create an extensive floodplain above the ordinary high water mark. As in the 7.7 acre area, energy dissipation consisting of rock rip-rap would be installed at both expansion and contraction locations. Some tree removals are required in this reach of creek to create the floodplain. Upper Reach (Wildhorse Valley) The recommended improvements to the upper reach of creek involve creating a new creek channel that would meander through the historic floodplain (current grass meadow) in Wildhorse Valley. Approximately 2,655 linear feet of new creek channel and 5.5 acres of floodplain would be created. The improvements recreate the historic floodplain by re-routing flows entering the westerly portion of the upper Buckeye Creek into the new channel. The new channel would be designed using geomorphic principles, including a low flow channel, a stable slope and a floodplain. The upper westerly tributary to Buckeye Creek would need to be re-routed near the existing sediment basin at the upper end of Wildhorse Valley to capture flows, and a stabilized confluence would also be installed where the new creek would meet the existing creek channel. The existing creek channel in Wildhorse Valley would remain and continue capturing flows from south eastern tributaries of the valley. However, the existing channel would have significantly less flow and there would be minimal erosion because the new creek channel would capture majority of flows from the upper Buckeye Creek. The existing sediment basin located at the base of the creek system at the top of Wildhorse Valley would be eliminated. Grade Control Structures and Pedestrian Bridge The existing grade control structures and the pedestrian bridge, which are expected to fail in the next five to ten years, would be retrofitted and/or replaced to meet current restoration standards. 7.7 Acres Buckeye Creek passes through the 7.7 acre parcel, and flows to Los Trancos Creek. During heavy storms, creek down-cuts and eroded sediments wash downstream and deposit in various locations along the creek, especially along the 7.7 acre parcel which can lead to flooding and can obstruct downstream culverts on private properties. Past erosion control measures using gabions and check dams have had limited effectiveness at reducing erosion. City of Palo Alto Page 6 On August 18, 2014, Council passed an ordinance dedicating the 7.7 acre parcel as park land (CMR #4881 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/43430). Council directed the Commission to facilitate the development of ideas for specific land use options of the newly dedicated 7.7 acres in Foothills Park. A Commission Ad Hoc committee was formed to help direct the process of collecting public input on the issue. In October 2014, four Ranger-led tours of the 7.7 acres were made available to the public. A total of nine members of the public attended those tours. On October 18, 2014, a public meeting was held at Foothills Park to collect suggestions and comments from the public on ideas for how to best use the newly acquired park land. There was another Ranger-led tour occurring prior to the meeting. Approximately 10 people attended this tour and 27 people attended the meeting. On January 27, 2015, the Commission discussed possible uses for the 7.7 acres parcel (Commission staff report https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/64250). On February 24, 2015, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that Council direct staff to conduct a hydrology study of Buckeye Creek and to keep the 7.7 acre parcel closed until after the hydrology study is completed (Staff report https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/45998). The Commission commented that the hydrology study should be completed before making any recommendations on how to use the land, because the recommendations on how to best address the hydrology issues may alter the City’s decision on how best to use the land. On August 31, 2015, Council approved the Commission and staff recommendation to (CMR#5911 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/48641): 1. Complete the Buckeye Creek hydrology study before making any specific recommendations for possible future use of the newly dedicated park land. 2. Direct staff to return to the Parks and Recreation Commission to finalize a recommendation for Council on how to use the 7.7 acre parcel after the hydrology study is complete. 3. Direct staff to evaluate the impacts of the recommendation to Council on the Acterra Nursery lease, which includes a provision allowing for termination of the lease with a 90-day notification. When Council dedicated the 7.7 acre parcel as park land, several council members expressed an interest in opening it to the public as soon as possible. Council also expressed the value of having the parcel open to the public so that the public could spend time in the area and be able to provide meaningful input on how the land should be used. City of Palo Alto Page 7 On January 23, 2018, the Commission reviewed the completed Hydrology Study and voted unanimously to recommend to Council to direct staff to open the 7.7 acres parcel to public access, and to engage the community to finalize a recommendation for Council on how to use the 7.7 acre parcel. With the Hydrology Study now complete, staff will open the 7.7 acre park land to public access in June or July 2018, once the necessary security fencing has been installed to protect the plant nursery and the existing 7-foot diameter culvert. Discussion Buckeye Creek The Hydrology Study provides an analysis of several different options for the City to consider regarding the creek’s erosion and sedimentation issues. 1. The City could take no action The creek is expected to continue to down-cut and the existing grade control structures, which are at the end of their useful life, will likely fail in 5 to 10 years. When the grade control structures fail, severe erosion problems are anticipated in several areas of Foothills Park, especially in Wildhorse Valley (upper reach) where the underground utilities would be threatened. The underground utilities consist of electric, phone, sanitary sewer, a pressurized water main, and fiber optic communication lines that are positioned along the edge of the Buckeye Creek channel in Wildhorse Valley. In addition to serving the needs of Foothills Park, these underground utilities serve city customers in the upper foothills area, including residents on Page Mill Rd., Skyline Blvd., Los Trancos Rd., and Los Trancos Woods Rd. There are five 1.2 million gallon water reservoirs in Foothills Park area that are served by the water main in Wildhorse Valley. This stored water serves a vital source of water in the event of a large wildland fire with strategic fire hydrants positioned near homes. If no action is taken, thousands of cubic yards of sediment per winter could be deposited into the 7.7 acre parcel, and eventually into Los Trancos and San Francisquito Creeks. Excess sediment can negatively impact creeks. The soil particles cover spawning areas, smothering trout eggs, aquatic insects, and oxygen producing plants. Increased turbidity levels (suspended sediment) in a stream will increase water temperatures, reduce light penetration and plant growth, and affect the ability of fish to locate and capture prey by greatly reducing visibility. Steelhead trout and other fish can die from the abrasive, gill clogging effects of s uspended sediment, which interferes with their breathing. There would likely be substantially more down cutting in the creek channel; up to 30 feet below grade in some areas. In the mid-1970s, the deepest section of the City of Palo Alto Page 8 creek was measured at 7.4 feet below grade, and currently it is 20-22 feet below grade (Wildhorse Valley). With the deep down-cut creek channel, the water table in the meadows (in all reaches of the creek) is expected to prematurely drain with less mid/late season water for shrubs/trees. The exposed creek banks will allow water to seep out of the horizontal layers, akin to poking a hole in the side of a barrel. Several bridge structures would also become unusable. If no action was taken, the pedestrian bridges will likely fail in the next 5 to 10 years as the creek banks, where the bridge footings are located, erode. Eventually the City would have to propose some structural improvements in the creek channel to protect the existing utility corridor from being undermined. This would require the same federal and state permits that would be required for the preferred alternative. The USACE/RWQCB and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) may ask the City to provide a more holistic intervention approach to managing issues in the watershed, and potentially deny permitting clearances for activities where continued regular maintenance of the channel is proposed solely to prevent disruption of utility services. 2. The City could propose to retrofit existing grade control structures and the pedestrian bridges as a minimum project This would not solve the erosion, sediment deposition, or flooding issues. Given the current state of the channel, retrofitted grade control structures would need to be geotechnically designed to withstand additional scour and very large sediment loads, making them more expensive to build and maintain. This scenario may be more challenging to permit because the USACE/RWQCB and CDFW may ask for a less engineered approach to solve issues associated with the historic modifications to the creek channel. Approximate Cost for Grade Control Structures and One Pedestrian Bridge Replacement: $1,628,278 Grade Control Structures $1,060,200 (50% design surcharge with no other stream improvements) 1 Pedestrian Bridge $50,000 Construction Cost Subtotal (2018$): $1,110,200 Assume 4% Construction Cost Increase over 5-years $1,350,728 Permitting, Design, Administration (25% of Present Day Cost) $277,550 Total: $1,628,278 City of Palo Alto Page 9 3. The City could elect to implement the Wildhorse Valley Restoration, grade control structures, and pedestrian bridge. Because the majority of excess sediment appears to be generated in the upper reach of Wildhorse Valley, implementation of that project first would provide the greatest benefit to the creek channel downstream. Only implementing the new creek channel in Wildhorse Valley, the grade control structures, and pedestrian bridge would help protect the utility corridor, and resolve the erosion and sediment transfer in Wildhorse Valley; and help reduce those problems downstream. A significant amount of the creek’s erosion issue would likely be resolved through this work. Additionally, this work would be more isolated within Foothills Park and likely result in less interruption to most areas of the park while remediation work is underway (i.e., fewer effects to existing environmental resources and park users). However, some continued erosion in the Las Trampas Valley and some sediment deposition in the 7.7 acre area will continue. Construction of this project would also temporarily limit access to multiple trails and the campground, as well as impact the Orchard Glen picnic area. Approximate Cost for Wildhorse Valley Restoration and Grade Control Structures and Pedestrian Bridge: $3,739,818 Wildhorse Valley $1,793,100 Existing and New Grade Control Structures $706,800 One Pedestrian Bridge (Las Trampas Valley) $50,000 Construction Cost Subtotal (2018$): $2,549,900 Assume 4% Construction Cost Increase over 5-years $3,102,343 Permitting, Design, Administration (25% of Present Day Cost) $637,475 Total: $3,739,818 4. Preferred Alternative If the City elects to do more than the Wildhorse Valley project, and take a phased approach to doing one or both of the other projects (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7 acre parcel) at future dates, there would be added cost and time of repeating the regulatory permitting and construction costs inflation. Summary of itemized project costs 7.7-acre parcel $838,400 Las Trampas Valley $3,358,130 City of Palo Alto Page 10 Wildhorse Valley $1,793,100 Retrofit of Existing Grade Control Structures $706,800 Construction Cost Subtotal (2018$): $6,696,430 Assume 4% Construction Cost Increase over 5-years $8,147,231 Permitting, Design, Administration (20% of Present Day Cost) $1,339,286 Total: $9,486,517 Impacts and Challenges While the proposed improvements would have a number of benefits, including resolving the erosion and sedimentation issues, creating more (and vastly improved) riparian habitat, providing public access to the creek areas, enhanced environmental education opportunities, and reduced ornamental turf and potable water savings, there are some impacts from the creek improvements. Wildlife Impacts During construction there will be significant efforts to protect nesting birds and threatened plant species. However, some wildlife (deer, coyote, bobcats, etc.) will likely avoid the immediate project site during construction. Post construction there will be a settling period where plants gradually establish. Wildlife will be attracted to the natural stream channel. Visitors will have additional viewing potential of native riparian plants, multiple bird species, and larger wildlife like raccoons, rabbits and deer. It is possible that the project could be completed in one summer; however, it may take three to five years for the vegetation to fully establish. More information about wildlife impacts will be known during the permitting and environmental review process of the project. Park Visitor Impacts There may be certain areas of the park that are closed to public access during construction. If the improvements are implemented in Wildhorse Valley, the construction would limit access to Towle Campground, four trail heads, and have impacts to Orchard Glen Picnic Area. If the improvements are implemented in Las Trampas Valley there would be permanent changes to the look and use of the grass field. The grass field in Las Trampas Valley is used for recreation activities. In addition to individual park visitors and families relaxing and recreating on the field, the area is also frequently used by park visitors picnicking at the adjacent Orchard Glen picnic area and by people who have rented t he Oak Grove picnic area. The Oak Grove picnic area accommodates up to 150 people. The lawn area is also used by City’s Recreation Division to host Foothills Park summer camps. Staff City of Palo Alto Page 11 have evaluated the amount of use on the grass field, and have determined that half of the grass field could be used for restoring the creek, and the remaining half of the turf (approximately 5 acres) could still meet the recreational needs for the park visitors. Recreation staff believes the proposed improvements to the creek would allow them to incorporate more nature elements into the curriculum for the camps. Improved access to riparian areas next to the turf will be a helpful addition. There are 16 acres of turf grass in Foothills Park, including 10 acres in Las Trampas Valley and 6 acres near the park entrance and lake area. If the section of creek in Las Trampas Valley were widened as proposed, there would still be 11 acres of turf grass in the park. If the improvements are implemented in the 7.7 acre parcel, the area wo uld need to be closed to public access during the construction phase. There would also be impacts to the Oak Grove Picnic Area. The impacts from the Buckeye Creek improvements would be similar to the Boronda Lake Dam reconstruction project, which occurred in summer of 1987. During the 1987 project, park visitors concentrated towards the lower section of Foothills Park and Vista Hill. The Buckeye Creek project would likely result in greater concentration of park visitors in the upper sections of the park near Boronda Lake/Dam and Vista Hill. Parks and Recreation Commission Recommendation On January 23, 2018, the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) voted unanimously to recommend that Council direct staff to pursue outside funding to implement the portion of proposed work that includes creating a new creek channel in the upper reach (Wildhorse Valley) and retrofitting the existing grade control structures throughout the creek (approximate cost: $3.7 million). The recommendation also includes directing staff to request $150,000 to the Capital Plan in Fiscal Year 22 for design and permitting to replace grade control structures and the pedestrian bridge (located at the creek across from the Foothills Park Interpretive Center). Adding $150,000 to the Capital Plan provides funding for an interim solution if the City is not able to obtain outside funding to implement the recommendations. The key factors that guided this recommendation include: The City has an approximately $76 million capital budget gap, which means that outside funding will be required to implement any creek improvements. The recommended creek improvements create riparian habitat, which make grant funding likely. Creating a new section of creek in Wildhorse Valley addresses a significant portion of the erosion and sedimentation issue (approximately 50%). City of Palo Alto Page 12 The recommended creek improvements, construction of a new section of creek in Wildhorse Valley and replacing the grade control structures, will disrupt park visitors and wildlife less than implementing all portions of the preferred alternative. If more erosion and sediment control is needed in the future, the City can learn from the experience with the Wildhorse Valley creek improvements and consider implementing the creek improvements in Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7 acres area. The grade control structures and the pedestrian bridge are expected to fail in the next five to ten years, and must be replaced. Staff will investigate potential grants and other outside funding opportunities , and report back to Council at a future date. 7.7 Acres On January 23, 2018, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to Council to direct staff to open the 7.7 acres parcel to public access, and to engage the community to finalize a recommendation for Council on how to use the 7.7 acre parcel (Commission staff report https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/62963). The Commission recognizes that any development of the 7.7 acres is expected to require funding that is not presently available. The Commission is interested in working with staff to collect public feedback and work with the community to develop plans for best uses of the space. While there aren’t any park amenities on the 7.7 acre parcel, there are approximately 2.1 acres of flat open area where the public could walk, and the Oak Grove Picnic Area, which is a short walk (500 feet) away from the 7.7 acre parcel, and has parking, seating, a drinking fountain, and a park restroom. Prior to opening the 7.7 acre parcel to public access, the appropriate fencing will be added to secure the native plant nursery, and culvert. The neighboring private property owner has installed fencing to secure their property line. Timeline Staff will investigate potential grants and other outside funding opportunities that are applicable to potential improvements to Buckeye Creek, and report back to Council at a future date. Fencing for the nursery and 7 foot diameter culvert in the 7.7 acres area will be added in the summer of 2018. Once the fencing is in place, staff will open the area to public City of Palo Alto Page 13 access. Resource Impact Staff will likely need to find multiple outside funding sources to finance any of the creek improvements. The Buckeye Creek Hydrology Study (Attachment A) highlights several grant funding sources that may be available to assist in the financing of the project. In addition to grant funding, it is also possible that the project may be used as a mitigation bank to offset unavoidable wetland or stream impacts created by projects elsewhere in the City of Palo Alto area, preferably in the San Francisquito Creek watershed. If unavoidable project impacts to wetland or stream areas are acceptable to the RWQCB or USACE as part of the 401/404 permitting process, the permittee may be able to purchase created wetlands or stream features from the Buckeye Creek project to offset their unavoidable impacts as compensatory mitigation. Implementation of the creek improvements for Buckeye Creek would generate stream, riparian, and/or freshwater wetland mitigation credits that could be marketed to permittees in order to offset up- front funding costs for the project. Further investigation is needed to determine if the regulatory agencies would authorize the restoration project as a mitigation site. If outside funding is obtained in order to implement the recommended creek improvements, the project would be completed as Capital Improvement Project, which would be managed by the Public Works Department. The cost for the fencing in the 7.7 acres for securing the native plant nursery and the 7- foot diameter culvert is approximately $25,000, which will be funded from existing budget. Policy Implications The recommendation is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Natural Environment Element, Goal N-1, Goal N-3, Policy N-3.1, and Policy N-3.2: Natural Environment Element, GOAL N-1 Protect, conserve and enhance Palo Alto’s citywide system of open space, including connected and accessible natural and urban habitats, ecosystems and natural resources, providing a source of public health, natural beauty and enjoyment for Palo Alto residents. Creeks and Riparian Areas Goal N-3: Conservation of both natural and channelized creeks and riparian areas as open space amenities, natural habitat areas and elements of community design. Policy N-3.1 All creeks are valuable resources for natural habitats, connectivity, community design, and flood control, and need different conservation and enhancement strategies. Recognize the different characteristics along creeks in Palo Alto, including natural creek segments in the city’s open space and rural areas, primarily City of Palo Alto Page 14 west of Foothill Expressway; creek segments in developed areas that retain some natural characteristics; and creek segments that have been channelized. Pursue opportunities to enhance riparian setbacks along urban and rural creeks as properties are improved or redeveloped. Policy N-3.2 Prevent the further channelization and degradation of Palo Alto’s creeks. Environmental Review In order to implement any of the concepts of restoring portions of Buckeye Creek, the project would likely require the following permits: United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). The project would also require environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Overall, the permitting review is expected to take approximately 18 to 36 months to complete.

City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 1 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Buckeye Creek is located within Foothills Park (Park) in the City of Palo Alto (City), and is a tributary of Los Trancos Creek and then San Francisquito Creek. This report presents a study of the creek channel in portions of the Park where the watercourse has been substantially anthropomorphically modified over the last 120 years, and offers recommendations to address the severe erosion and sediment deposition issues that take place during storms events. Based on the hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, this report recommends reconfiguring the creek to improve sediment transport conditions, resolve erosion issues, and restore geomorphic and biological function of the channel to historic conditions as much as possible. The re-configuration would involve creating new floodplain areas, retrofitting existing grade control structures, re- routing creek flows through portions of Wildhorse Valley, and removing the existing sediment basin. The recommended improvements to the creek were discussed at several community meetings, as well as in a presentation to Federal and State regulators. The consensus from the community and the regulatory agencies was that the proposed improvements presented herein would greatly improve the condition of Buckeye Creek. The study estimates that the cost of the recommended improvements to the creek channel would be approximately $9.5 million. It is recommended that the entire project be funded at once due to the severe condition of most portions of the channel, and the complex permitting processes associated with creek restoration activities. The project implementation duration including design, environmental review, permitting, and construction is estimated to be approximately 5 years. In the meantime, additional maintenance recommendations have been provided in the study to continue management of excess sediment deposits that require desilting within the Park limits. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 2 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT REASONING 1.1 PURPOSE Buckeye Creek is a tributary of Los Trancos Creek and then San Francisquito Creek, which eventually drains into the San Francisco Bay (Figure 1). Approximately 1 mile of Buckeye Creek flows through Foothills Park in the City of Palo Alto (City) (Figure 2). In Foothills Park, the valleys formed by Buckeye Creek are referred to as Wildhorse Valley for the upper ½-mile portion and Las Trampas Valley for the lower portion. The creek also flows through a 7.7-acre parcel at the downstream side of the Las Trampas Valley and a series of culverts on private properties before discharging into Los Trancos Creek. The 7.7-acre parcel was added to Foothills Park in 2014. A significant portion of Buckeye Creek is channelized and deeply incised. During heavy storms, severe down cutting and bank erosion occurs along the creek, and the eroded sediments are conveyed downstream and deposited in various locations along the creek. Sedimentation issues are especially acute along the 7.7-acre parkland where the creek bed gradient becomes more flat. At some locations, the creek overflows during heavy rain events. Currently, Park staff is engaged in de-silting the creek during and after larger storms, as well as off-hauling sediment in order to prevent clogging of several in-line hydraulic structures with sediment and storm debris. If de-silting is not performed, the clogged structures can obstruct creek flow and cause localized flooding in several areas of the Park. The City entered into a contract with ENGEO to study the hydrology of Buckeye Creek and to receive recommendations on resolving the creek’s existing erosion and flooding problems. This report summarizes the results of hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and provides recommendations to reduce existing erosion and flooding issues within Foothills Park while restoring certain elements of the creek’s historic geomorphic characteristics and enhancing its biological function.

Source: City of Palo Alto 1.2 FEASIBILITY STUDY GOALS The objective of this report is to provide the following: 1. Study the existing hydrologic and hydraulic conditions of Buckeye Creek within Foothills Park. 2. Identify constraints and opportunities along Buckeye Creek where modifications to the existing channel could take place in order to reduce existing erosion potential. 3. Develop a restoration scheme to ameliorate existing sedimentation, erosion and flooding issues to the maximum extent while enhancing habitat values of the creek . 4. Provide a preliminary cost analysis of the preferred alternative and discuss funding sources. 5. Discuss Federal and State regulatory permitting requirements in order to implement recommendations.

Outline maintenance measures that need to be performed prior to implementation of the preferred alternative. 2.0 EXISTING SETTING 2.1 HISTORIC SETTING Historically Buckeye Creek was heavily anthropomorphically modified by grading related to agricultural activities that took place prior to ownership by the City, and the subsequent development of park facilities within the watershed. Based on our review of historic photographs and available park records, these modifications appear to have straightened and channelized the creek for approximately 1 mile through the current parklands; most likely, the centerline of the creek was moved from its historical location. Based on historic United States Geologic Survey (USGS) maps between 1898 and 1960, it appears that the alignment of Buckeye Creek changed substantially when agricultural activities were introduced to the area in the early 1900s. The channel was likely more centered in the Wildhorse and Las Trampas Valleys, and the entire valley floor was likely used as alluvial floodplain, which dissipated energy and allowed for moderate deposition and erosion processes for the creek system. Figures 3 and 4 depict the approximate creek alignment in the mid-1950s based on historic photographs and mapping prepared by the USGS. FIGURE 3: Buckeye Creek in 1953.

Note the alignment of the creek in the middle of Las Trampas and Wildhorse Valleys 2.2 EXISTING SETTING Moving the creek from its historic channel resulted in significant down cutting and severe erosion. The eroded sediments wash down the creek with sediment depositing into a desilting basin in upper Wildhorse Valley and finally depositing in the 7.7-acre parcel during the rainy season. The collected sediments need to be removed two to three times every year to prevent flooding or obstructing the private culverts downstream of the 7.7-acre parcel. According to Park Staff, the adjacent Open Space Maintenance Shop in Foothills Park was flooded in 1969, 1983, and 1998. The City created a raised berm along Buckeye Creek, adjacent to the shop, to protect it from the creek overflowing. The shop area last flooded in 1998, but still has issues with poor drainage away from the structures and road. Based on our visual inspection, the engineered grade control structures installed at the time of channel realignment are reaching the end of their lifespan. The following seven photos summarize issues the creek is currently experiencing.

City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 11 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 The 7.7-acre parcel at the outfall of the creek currently has a native plant nursery used by Grassroots Ecology, a local non-profit agency. The rest of the 7.7-acre parcel is undeveloped. Wildhorse Valley is generally open space, although a pump station is located at the top of the valley. Since the creek has been realigned to the eastern side of the valley, the area consists of a utility corridor, an unpaved road and a large open field. PHOTO 9: Looking upstream in Wildhorse Valley, Buckeye Creek has been realigned in a narrow channel to the left. The proposed improvements to the creek outlined in this feasibility study are intended to reduce severe erosion that has occurred in the channel since the historic modifications were implemented and to reduce flooding in downstream areas. A historical summary of Foothills Park uses is provided in Appendix A, based on information provided by Park Staff. 2.3 BASELINE HYDROLOGIC SETTING 2.3.1 Hydrologic Calculations In order to understand baseline hydrologic conditions of the channel, a hydrologic analysis was performed on the Buckeye Creek watershed within Foothills Park. The intent of the hydrologic analysis was to estimate various flow rates at certain points of flow concentration in the creek watershed during peak recurrence interval storm events. The methodology used is as summarized below. The hydrology study for this project follows the criteria specified in the County of Santa Clara Drainage Manual (2007). The hydrologic model used a modified version of the National Resources Conservation Service TR-55 (NRCS, 1986) methodology to transform precipitation into direct runoff and to evaluate watershed losses. The hydrologic model to estimate flow rates City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 12 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 for the Buckeye Creek watersheds was created using the software HEC-HMS, which was developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and is used to perform precipitation-runoff simulation for watersheds based on estimated storm simulation data, watershed basin characteristics, and open-channel hydraulic routing. The precipitation model for the study used user-defined hyetographs for selected recurrence interval storms. A recurrence interval is a statistical way of expressing the probability of occurrence of a storm event in any given year. For example, a "100-year recurrence interval" storm event has a one in one hundred or 1% chance of happening in any given year. Likewise, a “2-year recurrence interval” storm event has a 50 in one hundred or 50% chance of happening in any given year. Rainfall depths for the 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 100-year 24-hour storm events were determined from the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) Mean Annual Precipitation Map (1998) and the methodology outlined in Section 3.5 of the Santa Clara County Drainage Manual. Hyetographs for each storm event were then generated using the method shown on Table D-1 of Santa Clara Drainage Manual. The hyetographs were entered manually into the HEC-HMS program to model rainfall. The SCVWD Mean Annual Precipitation Map and a summary of the rainfall depth calculations have been provided as an attachment to this report (Appendix B). The total rainfall depths for Buckeye Creek study area as determined using this methodology are as follows: 2-Year Rainfall Depth = 3.30 inches (in) 5-Year Rainfall Depth = 4.69 in 10-Year Rainfall Depth = 5.61 in 100-Year Rainfall Depth = 8.36 in 2.3.2 Watershed Characteristics The hydrologic methodology was performed in accordance with specifications provided by the County of Santa Clara, including watershed soil type determinations, time of concentration and lag time calculations, and precipitation model generation. The watershed parameters were determined using Section 4.6 of the Santa Clara Drainage Manual. The Buckeye Creek watershed is divided into five subwatersheds, as shown on the Watershed Map (Figure 5 below), which shows the limits of the watershed. Watershed runoff and losses were calculated in accordance with the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) runoff methodology using runoff Curve Numbers (CNs). Curve Numbers (CNs) are an index of the watersheds Hydrologic Soils Group (HSG) classification, land use, and land surface characteristics. Losses are also a function of the HSG of the watershed. The United States Department of Agriculture NRCS Web Soil Survey was used to determine the soil type and HSG classification (The project soil type is primarily sandy clay and footpath-mouser complex), which is considered to be HSG so il Type “C.” Since the watershed is primarily characterized by HSG soil Type ‘C,’ which have rapid runoff characteristics when saturated, losses for the watershed are not expected to be substantial. The land surface characteristics, land use classification, and soils groups are used to estimate CN numbers using Table E-1 of the Santa Clara Drainage Manual. The CN numbers are then adjusted according to antecedent moisture condition (AMC) using Table E-2 from the Santa Clara Valley Drainage Manual. The initial abstraction is calculated using the adjusted curve number and the methodology outlined in Section 4.6.3 of the Santa Clara Valley Drainage Manual. Table 1 below presents a summary of watershed parameters for the selected design storms.

The watershed, totaling approximately 858 acres, was broken up into five subwatersheds to be used as an input in to the HEC-HMS model. The subwatersheds are shown on the Watershed Map (Figure 5). 2.3.3 Time of Concentration and Lag Time Time lag is a parameter that is required as an input into the HEC-HMS Model. The methodology used to estimate watershed lag time was based on the County of Santa Clara Drainage Manual Section 4.6.6. The Basin Lag equation is shown below. This study assumed that the watershed functions hydrologically similar to a natural watershed since the land use is primarily mixed forest with very low impervious percentage. The equation for time of concentration is as follows: tlag = (0.862)24N (LLc/√s) 0.38+ D/2 Where N is the watershed roughness value (0.075); L is the longest flow path from the catchment divide to outlet; Lc is the length along flow path from a point perpendicular with the basin centroid to its outlet; S is the effective slope along the main watercourse; and D is the duration of the unit hydrograph (5 minutes). Table 2 below summarizes the results of the lag time calculations for each subwatershed.

City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 14 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 2.3.5 Results of Hydrologic Modeling The hydrologic model provided 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, and 100-year storm events flows for each of the five subwatersheds, which are used as input into the hydraulic model described in Section 2.4. These results are graphically shown in Figure 5 below. Appendix B includes detailed hydrologic calculations and reference materials. FIGURE 5: Existing Conditions Watershed map and results of Hydrologic Analysis City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 15 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 2.4 BASELINE HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS Baseline hydraulic analysis was also performed to evaluate flooding and erosion potential using the Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) 4.0 Beta computer program published by the USACE. HEC-RAS enables us to perform one-dimensional hydraulic analyses for natural channels and is intended for calculating water surface profiles and velocities in steady, gradually varied flow conditions. The basic HEC-RAS computational procedure is based on the solution of the one-dimensional energy equation. Energy losses consist of friction losses based on Manning's equation. The development of the HEC-RAS model specific to this study is described in detail below. Survey data provided by PLS Surveys conducted in September 2016 were used to determine the existing cross-sections of the creek, which were input into the model. 2.4.1 Channel Geometry Cross-sections were drawn approximately perpendicular to the direction of flow for the subject reach. Appendix C provides figures showing exact locations of cross-sections used in the model. 2.4.2 Input of Channel Flow Rate Flow rates obtained from the hydrologic model in Section 2.3 were used as input into the hydraulic model. 2.4.3 Input of Hydraulic Coefficients The value of the Manning’s roughness coefficient (n) establishes frictional resistance in the channel and is thus related to the modeling of channel velocity and water surface profile by the HEC-RAS program. The roughness coefficients previously input into the model were used for this analysis. These values are based on recommended minimum, maximum and normal values developed for a variety of vegetative and morphological conditions similar to those found in the channel and banks of Buckeye Creek. Table 3 summarizes the coefficients used in the model. TABLE 3: Coefficients Used in the Modeling MANNING'S 'N' VALUE DESCRIPTION 0.035 (main channel) Clean, straight, full, no rifts or deep pools, with some stones and weeds 0.05 – 0.065 (channel banks) Floodplain, scattered brush 2.4.4 Flow Regime Based on the preliminary results of the modeling, subcritical flow was encountered in the creek channel within the majority of the study reach. Therefore, the final results of the study are based on a subcritical flow regime analysis. Subcritical flow is considered gradual flow in areas of the creek outside of where existing grade controls structures, or other sharp elevation drops are located. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 16 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 2.4.5 Boundary Condition A normal depth boundary condition was entered at the upstream and downstream ends of the study reach using a bed slope of 0.02 ft./ft. and 0.03 ft./ft., respectively, based on information survey provided by PLS surveys. 2.4.6 Results The results of the baseline hydraulic evaluation are attached for the above four flow rates with cross sections shown on the HEC-RAS map in Appendix C. The model was run as a steady-state model, as no significant in-line detention structures or flow attenuation features that would significantly change the regional hydrologic calculations are apparent in the channel. In terms of water surface profiles, the results do not indicate flood flows breaching channel banks during a 100-year storm event in lower portions of the channel near the Grassroots Ecology Native Plant Nursery, nor downstream in other portions of the 7.7-acre parcel. However, based on discussion with park staff, this area has flooded several times in the last 30 years due to clogging of in-line structures with sediment and debris. The hydraulic analysis indicates that 100-year flood flows breach channel banks and flow into the surrounding valley floor at a few cross-sections near the Orchard Glen Picnic Area. However, for the majority of the creek, the 100-year flood flows are contained within the existing channel banks. Based on the USACE erosion threshold guidance for flood control channels, the allowable mean velocity for a channel comprised of an unvegetated clay soil, typical of what is found in the Buckeye Creek channel, is approximately 6 feet per second (fps). Based on the hydraulic analysis, this threshold has exceeded in many areas along Buckeye Creek with velocities averaging up to 10 feet per second in some unarmored areas, as indicated in the baseline results provided in Appendix C. Areas with 2-year flows greater than 6 fps should be modified with corrective actions to reduce erosion potential. 2.5 BASELINE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT ANALYSIS A baseline sediment transport analysis was also conducted on Buckeye Creek where hydrology and hydraulic information were studied above. Based on information provided by Park staff, sediment deposition in the lower reaches of the creek has been a major problem where the 7.7-acre parcel exists, and the sediment sources appear to be from portions of the creek located within Foothills Park. According to the Park staff, the amount of sediment that accumulates in the 7.7-acre parcel that needs to be removed varies greatly year to year. Some years, when it is fairly dry, no sediment is removed from the culverts. In years with average rainfall, it can vary between 30 to 100 cubic yards of sediment. In extremely rainy years, there can be as much as 500 to 600 cubic yards of sediment removed. The baseline sediment transport model was used for the following: 1. Estimate the amount of sediment flux leaving the project, which is approximately equivalent to the amount of sediment being deposited in the 7.7-acre parcel where sediment deposition is problematic. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 17 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 2. Using the mobile bed function, identify upstream areas where erosional processes are dominant for inclusion in a potential preferred alternative. 2.5.1 Sediment Grain Size Distribution We collected one grab sample near the Orchard Glen Picnic Area in August 2016, as a representative sample of typical sediment that flows through the Buckeye Creek study reach. We performed a grain size distribution evaluation conforming to ASTM D6913 test procedure for input into the HEC-RAS sediment transport analysis module. The sample was well-graded, contained particles up to ¾-inch in diameter, and was relatively uniform across the particle size distribution. At least 10 percent of the material collected was very fine clay or silt material. 2.5.2 Sediment Transport HEC-RAS contains several standard methods to evaluate sediment transport in open erodible channels. For this feasibility study, we used the Ackers-White (1973) method, which was developed for channels with relatively uniform grain size distribution from fine sands to gravels. Our experience using sediment transport methods in HEC-RAS is that they can under-represent suspended load sediment transport for finer particles. Therefore, the results should be interpreted as representing sand and gravel erosional and depositional processes in the creek channel, which are typically large enough to scour creek banks and bottoms and can be collected and off-hauled. 2.5.3 Mobile Bed Function and Quasi-Steady State Analysis HEC-RAS requires users to define several parameters in the hydraulic model in order to perform sediment transport calculations. The following parameters were used: 1. Based on preliminary results, erosion was allowed to occur up to a maximum of 5 feet in depth for the selected 5-year recurrence interval design storm in portions of the creek channel where soil materials are present. This is the approximate maximum depth of erosion, which could occur in the channel, as existing grade control structures prevent greater downcutting. After calibrating the model and determining areas where deposition was occurring, the maximum erosional depth number was reduced for areas where erosional processes appeared to be unlikely. 2. The existing grade control structures were assumed as fixed points in the model where bed degradation could not occur. 3. We assumed the erosional and depositional processes would generally occur in areas below defined left and right channel banks, which generally represent flows up to about the 5-year recurrence interval event. 4. We used a quasi-steady 24-hour 5-year recurrence interval flow to evaluate sediment transport. The 2-year storm flow, which is generally the minimum that is evaluated in sediment transport analyses, did not exhibit significant movement of the erodible bed materials. Flows larger than the 5-year recurrence interval storm went unstable in the model due to the hydrodynamic condition of the existing system, which contains many areas of flow that are not gradual or steady. The 5-year flow peaks for approximately 1 hour in the model and has an ascending and receding hydrograph on either side of the peak. This approximates the shape of the peak hydrographs used in the HEC-HMS model for the project. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 18 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 2.5.4 Results A summary of sediment movement in tons is provided in Appendix D. The model, which includes the sediment basin at the top of Wildhorse Valley, estimates approximately 4,917 tons of sediment leaving the site in a 5-year 24-hour recurrence interval event with little ability for the creek to deposit any of the sediment accumulating upstream in lower reaches. The modeling demonstrates that erosional processes are not balanced, with excessive depositional processes apparent in the existing condition of the project study area. 2.6 BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION WRA, Incorporated performed a baseline biological evaluation for the project. The study was based on available records and database research but did not include field reconnaissance. It is included in Appendix E of this report. Potential species of concern for the project include the California Red-Legged Frog (Rana draytonii) and Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Four sensitive biological communities were identified within the Project Area. Eight special-status plant species and 11 special-status wildlife species have a moderate or high potential to occur within the Project Area. The evaluation concludes that species biological impacts are likely for a proposed project, which alters the current form of Buckeye Creek. However, appropriate mitigation measures may be taken to offset temporary impacts associated with any modifications to the creek channel. 3.0 PRELIMINARY PROJECT CONSTRAINTS 3.1 UTILITY AND ROADS Major utilities bisect both Las Trampas and Wildhorse Valley near where Buckeye Creek is currently located. These utilities include a sanitary sewer, a pressurized water main, and fiber optic communication cable, phone and electric lines. In the Wildhorse Valley area, these utilities are located for the most part within a roadway alignment that bisects the valley. The roadway serves a pump station for municipal water supply located at the upper end of Wildhorse Valley and thus cannot be readily removed. Major utilities are shown on work maps furnished in Appendix C. The consultant team was ultimately able to design a solution to the creek’s erosion problem that does not require relocating the utilities, which results in a significant cost savings. 3.2 MAINTENANCE BUILDINGS The Foothills Park maintenance buildings and equipment yard, located in the Las Trampas Valley at the lower end of the project, appear to be located in an area that was once part of the historic creek alignment. The consultant team was ultimately able to design a solution to the creek’s erosion problem that does not require relocating the maintenance buildings, which results in a significant cost savings. 3.3 PARK USES The large lawn area in Las Trampas Valley has been used for recreation activities since the park opened in 1965. In addition to individual park visitors and families relaxing and recreating, the area is also frequently used by people using the adjacent Orchard Glen picnic area and by people who have rented the Oak Grove picnic area. The Oak Grove picnic area accommodates up to 150 people. The lawn area is also used by City’s Recreation Division to host children who City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 19 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 participate in the Foothills Park summer camps. Staff have evaluated the amount of use on the lawn area, and believe that half of the lawn area could be used for restoring the creek, and the remaining half of the turf could still meet the recreational needs for park visitors. The existing Orchard Glen picnic area and adjacent historic redwood grove would remain in place after the preferred alternative is implemented. There are 16 acres of grass lawn in Foothills Park, including 10 acres in Las Trampas Valley and 6 acres near the park entrance and lake area. If the section of creek in Las Trampas Valley is widened as proposed, there would still be 11 acres of lawn area in the park. City Recreation staff believe the proposed improvements to the creek would allow them to incorporate more nature elements into the curriculum for their camps at Foothills Park. The improved access to riparian areas next to the lawn will be a helpful addition in providing new opportunities for environmental education. 3.4 OTHER CONSTRAINTS/LIMITATIONS A comprehensive cultural resources study and field biological assessment were not conducted as a part of this study. Additional constraints may be identified when these studies are conducted in the preliminary engineering phase. 4.0 RESTORATION RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 ALTERNATIVE ANALYSES AND STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK Based on our discussions with City staff, and our experience with several other projects, we prepared preliminary alternatives for the project. The alternatives contained the basic concepts of: 1. Incorporating floodplains into the existing incised channel through Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7-acre parcel where practicable, to reduce in-channel velocities and reduce erosion potential along a wider creek channel. 2. Spreading flow across a wider portion of Wildhorse Valley where floodplain creation is impractical in the current channel configuration based on locations of utilities. A basic concept of creating a new channel to the west of the existing roadway through Wildhorse Valley was conceptually proposed to spread more water across the existing alluvial plain. We attended two stakeholder meetings to present these basic concepts and receive feedback in order to refine the concepts into a preferred alternative. The first was a community meeting conducted on December 6, 2016, at the Foothills Park Interpretive Center with approximately 25 members of the public in attendance. Given the generally positive feedback from this meeting, a second stakeholder meeting was conducted with Federal and State agencies on February 8, 2017. Representatives from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) provided feedback on the preliminary restoration concepts presented. Modifications to the basic concepts into a preferred alternative are noted as follows: 1. Although there was interest in incorporating habitat features for Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) into the proposed restoration project at the public meeting in December 2016, the general consensus from the USFWS and RWQCB was that the potential City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 20 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 for this species was too low to consider into design elements. Therefore, several of the larger grade control structures in the creek channel could be replaced with retrofitted rock structures with equivalent vertical drops, generally in the 6- to 8-foot range. 2. The RWQCB and the consensus of public stakeholders was that space in the Park should be allocated for the project to the maximum extent possible for the creek restoration effort in order for the project to be successful. 3. The preferred alternative takes into account the preference to eliminate a bifurcation and remove the sediment basin at the top of Wildhorse Valley by the RWQCB as compared to the alternative concept presented to them. The preferred alternative will realign western flows into a large area between the existing road alignment and the westerly toe of slope, thought to be the approximate historic creek alignment, and will leave the existing flows entering the valley from the east and south in the created channel. 4. The USFWS suggested that we incorporate a frog amenity (such as a breeding pond) for California Red-Legged Frogs (Rana draytonii), which are listed as endangered species under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Another community meeting was held on June 12, 2017. Although, the number of participants was low, there was unanimous support for the recommended solutions to solve the creek’s erosion problem. 4.2 PREFERRED ALTERATIVE RECOMMENDATION Using the feedback from community meetings, stakeholders, regulatory agencies, Foothills Park visitors, and the Parks and Recreation Commission, the consultant developed a preferred alternative design. While there are other options to consider regarding solutions to the creek’s issues, the recommendation of this report is the preferred alternative, which would restore and modify portions of Buckeye Creek by widening the creek channel to create seasonal wetland floodplains in the lower reach (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7 acres parcel), and create a new creek channel in the upper reach (Wildhorse Valley). The new creek channel would allow the creek to more closely follow its historic alignment and floodplain. The preferred alternative would also retrofit the existing grade control structures, which have exceeded their useful lifespans. Below is an Illustrative graphic of the preferred alternative. Full sized plates are located at the end of the report, graphically depicting the preferred alternative and details. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 21 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 ILLUSTRATIVE FIGURES: Conceptual Design Plans of Preferred Alternative (Full size figure located in rear of Report). 4.2.1 Lower Reach (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7-acre parcel) The recommended improvements to the lower reach would create approximately 4.2 acres of additional floodplain and wetlands (as shown on the Project plans). This reach is divided into two sub-reaches for purposes of discussion. Widening the creek in the 7.7 acres of undeveloped parkland would create a 1.2-acre floodplain at approximately the ordinary high water mark and extend westerly at a 2 percent slope approximately to the extent of the 100-year water surface elevation. Based on hydraulic modeling performed, creating a floodplain by lowering portions of the parcel adjacent to the current creek channel would help dissipate peak flows, equilibrate sediment transport, and enhance habitat. Energy dissipation consisting of rock rip-rap would be installed at both expansion and contraction locations. Trails could be built within the floodplain area, to allow park visitors access to the creek to learn about riparian habitat, with the understanding that they would need to be maintained after large rain events. Widening the section of creek along the Las Trampas Valley would create approximately 3 acres of floodplain by removing soil material in the existing grass field, which appears to consist of fill material placed in the historic floodplain. The existing channel would be moved closer to its historic alignment, and graded such that to create an extensive floodplain above the ordinary high water mark. As in the 7.7-acre area, energy dissipation consisting of rock rip-rap would be installed at both expansion and contraction locations, which would help with flow reduction, sediment transport equilibrium, and habitat enhancement. Approximately 100 trees would need to be City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 22 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 removed in order to create floodplain in this reach of the creek. Trees will be replaced at the ratio specified in the Palo Alto Tree Technical Manual. The existing grass lawn area would be reduced as the creek floodway is expanded in this area. As mentioned above, the lawn area in Las Trampas Valley would be reduced from 10 acres to 5 acres. There are 6 acres of lawn near the park entrance and lake area. If the section of creek in Las Trampas Valley is widened as proposed, there would still be 11 acres of grass lawn in the park. The reduction in turf area will also help conserve water. 4.2.2 Upper Reach (Wildhorse Valley) The recommended improvements to the upper reach of the creek involve creating a new creek channel that would meander through the historic floodplain (current grass meadow) in Wildhorse Valley. Approximately 2,655 linear feet of new creek channel and 5.5 acres of floodplain would be created. The improvements recreate the historic floodplain by re-routing flows entering the westerly portion of the upper Buckeye Creek into the new channel. The new channel would be designed using geomorphic principles, including a low flow channel, and a stable slope and a floodplain. Some grade control structures would also be required in the new channel to reduce flow velocities below established erosion thresholds. The upper westerly tributary to Buckeye Creek would need to be re-routed near the existing sediment basin at the upper end of Wildhorse Valley to capture flows and a stabilized confluence would also be installed where the new creek would meet the existing channel. The existing channel would remain, and the aging grade control structures would be retrofitted to meet current restoration standards. Due to the significantly reduced flow in the existing channel, there would be minimal erosion expected once the new channel is constructed. The existing sediment basin located at the base of the creek system at the top of Wildhorse Valley would be eliminated. Photo 10 and 11 show examples of a creek restoration project during and after construction, respectively.

The effect of re-routing flows and creating floodplains was studied in the existing conditions HEC-HMS model by remodeling subwatershed flow and adding roughness and storage areas to existing reaches. It is expected that the addition of floodplain storage, lessening the bed slope of the creek and slowing the velocity of the creek by implementation of the preferred alternative would attenuate peak flow hydrographs. The modifications are summarized in Table 4 below: TABLE 4: Coefficients Used in the Modeling REACH SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO REACH ROUTING Wildhorse Valley Added new creek to route runoff from Watershed 1 to Watershed 3 outlet. Watershed 2 continues to be routed through the existing channel. Hydraulically rough overbank with Manning’s ‘n’ value of 0.065 added to new creek. Las Trampas Valley Modified creek geometry including the addition of two new proposed floodplains. Two idealized cross sections were used, each to represent the two sections of channel and floodplain located within Watershed 5. Hydraulically rough overbank with Manning’s ‘n’ value of 0.065 added to new creek. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 25 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 Results Figure 6 below summarizes the hydrologic results of the preferred alternative. It should be noted that the Wildhorse Valley watershed is bifurcated into two subwatersheds in the post-project hydrologic model based on the proposed splitting of flows in the preferred alterative FIGURE 6: Results of Post-Project Hydrologic Modeling City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 26 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 The following table summarizes the differences of pre- and post-project flows at two significant nodes. TABLE 5: Results of Hydrologic Modeling NODE Q2 (existing) cfs Q2 (final) cfs Q5 (existing) cfs Q5 (final) cfs Q10 (existing) cfs Q10 (final) cfs Q100 (existing) cfs Q100 (final) cfs 3 (Orchard Glen Picnic Area) 44 43.5 83 82.4 336 328.1 683 655.8 5 (Project Outfall) 78 77.3 143 141.6 579 572.6 1163 1142.5 As noted above, our preliminary analysis estimates that the preferred alternative would reduce peak flow rates at the project outfall by approximately 2 percent during the 100-year storm event. This reduction is not substantial because the project is not proposing to detain flows in detention structures or provide other engineered control features, which would further reduce post-project flow rates. Flow attenuation is only being provided by spreading flows onto floodplain areas. However, this reduction may be beneficial to the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority who maintains flood control structures downstream of the project including several levees as previously shown on Figure 1. 4.3.2 Preferred Alternative Hydraulics Hydraulics Modeling was performed in the HEC-RAS program of the areas where modifications were proposed for the preferred alternative. For the new creek in Wildhorse Valley, a new low flow channel was designed to carry approximately the 2-year flow. In order to reduce erosional velocities, grade control structures and floodplains were added so that 5-year flows in the new reach achieved velocities less than approximately 5 fps except in areas stabilized with hard armor and 100-year velocities similarly were computed below 10 fps, which is slightly less than the USACE criteria. Ultimately, the bed slope of the new creek was graded at approximately 2 percent to achieve the velocity parameters described above. By using the 2% bed slope, adding grade control structures and floodplains, the post-project modeling shows great potential to reduce the erosion potential of the creek channel. For the modified reach in Las Trampas Valley, a floodplain was created based on area available to the project in both the 7.7-acre undeveloped park parcel area and in the larger grassy area upstream. Based on the preliminary results of the HEC-RAS analysis, some meandering of the channel was performed to reduce 5-year velocities below 5 fps, reduce 100-year velocities below 10 fps, and reduce the overall channel bed-slope to approximately 2 percent. Again, the post-project modeling shows considerable improvement in reducing erosive flows through implementation of the preferred alternative. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 27 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 The following table summarizes the results of our study: TABLE 6: Results of Hydraulic Modeling REACH MODIFICATIONS Las Trampas 7.7-acre parcel Added 1.2 acres of floodplain Las Trampas – Upper Area Added 3.0 acres of floodplain and lengthened channel by 163 L.F. Wildhorse Creek Added new creek with 2655L.F. of channel, 7 grade control structures, and 5.5 acres of floodplain 4.3.3 Preferred Alternative Sediment Transport After modifications were made in the HEC-RAS model as described above, sediment transport modeling was also performed for the watershed using the same methodology described in Section 2.4. The modeling results indicate approximately 55% reduction in sediment flux as presented in Table 7 below. Detailed output from the model is provided in Appendix D. TABLE 7: Results of Hydraulic Modeling MODEL 5-YEAR SEDIMENT FLUX AT OUTFALL (TONS) Existing Conditions 4917 tons Proposed Conditions 2196 tons The additional floodplains in both Las Trampas and Wildhorse Valley appear to capture the majority of the sediment flux created at the top of the watershed and create a much better equilibrium condition throughout the Foothills Park study area. 4.4 DESIGN OF FLOODPLAINS Floodplains incorporated into the preferred alternative are intended to be hydraulically rough and slow velocities in reaches of Buckeye Creek where they can be installed. We recommend the following for floodplain areas incorporated into the preferred alternative. 1. Floodplains should be graded such that flows over approximately the 2-year recurrence interval can spread onto them during very large storm events. 2. Floodplains should be graded at a longitudinal slope between 2 and 5 percent, such that positive drainage is directed back into the creek channel after flood flows are dissipated. 3. Pathways may be incorporated onto floodplains as necessary, with the understanding that minor maintenance may be necessary after large storms. 4. Planting of native grass and forbs species that can withstand flood flows and create a hydraulically rough surface are encouraged. As project planning progresses, a planting palette should be developed based on appropriate grass and shrubs species that are native and thrive in this ephemeral type of environment. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 28 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 5. Seasonal wetlands can also be installed on floodplains. However, some sedimentation of the wetlands may be expected. 4.5 DESIGN AND RETROFIT OF GRADE CONTROL STRUCTURES / BANK STABILIZATION The existing creek channel contains several grade control structures within Las Trampas and Wildhorse Valleys. Grade control structures are intended to reduce in-channel bed slopes to more stable gradients. For this creek, the flatter gradients mimic those of a more historically sinuous channel that likely existed prior to straightening of the channel and removal of surrounding floodplains. Based on our site reconnaissance of the project, the existing timber and gabion-basket grade control structures are at the end of their useful life cycle and will likely need to be replaced within the next 5 to 10 years. The wire in many of the gabion baskets is worn to the point of failing, which will compromise the integrity of the installation. Moreover, gabion baskets may harm certain types of terrestrial wildlife and are no longer the standard of practice in stream restoration design. In terms of the timber grade control structures, the integrity of the aged wood does not appear to be high at this point in their lifespan. Based on our experience, these type of timber structures last approximately 40 years. We understand these structures were installed in 1967/1968 and are therefore beyond their expected life span. Current restoration practice is to install grade control structures made of very durable rock. We recommend that existing timber and gabion grade control structures and bank stabilization be replaced with rock structures that are more permanent in nature. Since most of the existing structures lie outside of the limits of the work proposed by the preferred alternative, the replacement of these structures is also included in the final cost estimate of the project as a separate line item. 5.0 PERMITTING AND IMPLEMENTATION 5.1 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS The preliminary Biological Assessment for the project defines waters of the United States and waters of the State of California for the project, as well as potential for species to occur on site that are protected under State of Federal wildlife codes. In order to move forward, we expect this project will require the following permits. USACE According to the feedback received at the interagency meeting, we expect that the project will require a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 27 for Aquatic Habitat Restoration, which has no impact limit. If there is infrastructure maintenance work as well, the project would likely be classified under a NWP 3, with limits of ½-acre impact to waters of the United States. USFWS Based on discussions with the USFWS, they would provide Section 7 consultation to the USACE in terms of impacts to species covered under the Federal Endangered Species act listed in the preliminary Biological Assessment. This would occur as part of the USACE permitting process. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 29 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 RWQCB The project would need to apply for a 401 water quality certification from the RWQCB for impacts to waters of the State of California. The RWQCB will be the lead agency in terms of creek restoration technical guidance in the San Francisco Bay Area. California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) The project would also need to apply for a Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) from CDFW since the project involves grading within their jurisdiction. Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD) The project would not need to apply to this agency for a permit unless there is an easement or right-of-way that encumbers Buckeye Creek where the project intends to work. Based on a discussion with the agency, it is unlikely that there are easements or rights-of-way dedicated to SCVWD in this part of Palo Alto. A title report could confirm this. The project would need to also complete a document to show compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in order to receive permitting clearances from CDFW and RWQCB. Overall, we expect the time frame to run between 18 to 36 months to complete all of the permitting requirements required. 5.2 REGULATORY APPROACH The City of Palo Alto may develop California Environmental Quality Act studies and approvals alongside the USASE, CDFW and USACE applications. However, we recommend that the RWQCB and CDFW applications be submitted prior to circulation of a CEQA document. With this approach, any feedback from these agencies can be incorporated into the project before the Draft CEQA document is circulated. For purposes of timing of construction, it is reasonable to assume CEQA documents can be certified and State permits be issued for a project , if construction activities take place in a 10-15 year horizon after clearances are completed. Federal permits may expire in as little as 5 years after issuance. 5.3 ALTERNATIVES TO THE RESTORATION RECOMMENDATION To resolve Buckeye Creek’s hydrology issues, the consultant and City staff recommend implementing the preferred alternative as one project (i.e. restoring upper and lower reaches of Buckeye Creek per Section 4.2). However, there are other options that can be considered. The following is a list of the options and their implications: 1. The City could propose to take no action. The creek will continue to down cut, and the existing grade control structures, which are at the end of their useful life, will likely fail in 5 to 10 years. This would lead to severe erosion problems in several areas of the Park, especially in Wildhorse Valley where the utility corridor would be threatened. The utility corridor consists of electric, phone, sanitary sewer, a pressurized water main, and fiber optic communication lines that are positioned along the edge of the Buckeye Creek channel in Wildhorse Valley. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 30 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 Thousands of cubic yards of sediment per winter could be deposited into the 7.7-acre parcel, and eventually into Los Trancos and San Francisquito Creeks. Excess sediment can negatively impact creeks. The soil particles cover spawning areas, smothering tr out eggs, aquatic insects, and oxygen producing plants. Increased turbidity levels (suspended sediment) in a stream will increase water temperatures, reduce light penetration and plant growth, and affect the ability of fish to locate and capture prey by gr eatly reducing visibility. Steelhead trout and other fish can die from the abrasive, gill clogging effects of suspended sediment, which interferes with their breathing. There would likely be substantially more down cutting in the creek channel; up to 30 feet below grade in some areas. In the mid-1970s, the deepest section of the creek was measured at 7.4 feet below grade, and currently it is 20-22 feet (upper reach). With the deep down cut creek channel, the water table in the meadows (in all reaches of the creek) will continue to prematurely drain with less mid/late season water for shrubs/trees. The exposed creek banks will allow water to seep out of the horizontal layers like poking a hole in the side of a barrel. Several bridge structures would also become unusable. If no action was taken, the pedestrian bridges will likely fail in the next 5 to 10 years as the creek banks, where the bridge footings are located, erode. Eventually the City would have to propose some structural improvements in the creek channel to protect the existing utility corridor from being undermined. This would require the same federal and state permits that would be required f or the preferred alternative. The USACE/RWQCB and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) would likely ask the City to provide a more holistic intervention approach to managing issues in the watershed, and potentially deny permitting clearances for activities where continued regular maintenance of the channel is proposed solely to prevent disruption of utility services. 2. The City could propose to retrofit existing grade control structures and the one pedestrian bridge near the Interpretive Center as a minimum project. This would not solve the erosion, sediment deposition, or flooding issues. Given the current state of the channel, retrofitted grade control structures would need to be geotechnically designed to withstand additional scour and very large sediment loads, making them significantly more expensive to build and maintain than if the whole channel were re-configured. This scenario would also be difficult to permit from the USACE/RWQCB and CDFW who would again ask for a less engineered approach to solve issues associated with the historic modifications to the creek channel with minimal in-channel maintenance requirements.

The City could elect to split the project into multiple separate projects for the Wildhorse Valley, Las Trampas Valley, and 7.7-acre parcel, respectively, and elect to do only one project, or consider phasing multiple projects over time. Because the majority of excess sediment appears to be generated in the upper reach of Wildhorse Valley, implementation of that project first would provide the greatest benefit to the creek channel downstream. Only doing the Wildhorse Valley project (and retrofitting the grade control structures in the remnant channel and pedestrian bridges) would help protect the utility corridor, and resolve the erosion and sediment transfer in Wildhorse Valley; and help reduce those problems downstream. Though, there would still be some continued creek erosion in the Las Trampas Valley and continued sediment deposition in the 7.7-acre area. This project would resolve approximately 45% of the issues in the creek as compared to implementing the entire project, assuming deposition of sediment is relatively consistent on all of the potentially created proposed floodplains throughout both valleys. It assumes replacement of aging grade control structures in Las Trampas Valley. Approximate Cost for Wildhorse Valley Restoration and Grade Control Structure Replacement Only: $3,739,818 Wildhorse Valley ................................................................................................... $1,793,100 Existing and New Grade Control Structures ............................................................. $706,800 One Pedestrian Bridge (Las Trampas Valley)............................................................. $50,000 Subtotal (2018$) .................................................................................................... $2,549,900 Assume 4% Construction Cost Increase over 5-years ........................................... $3,102,343 Permitting, Design, Administration (25% of Present Day Cost) ................................. $637,475 Total:......................................................................................................................... $3,739,818 4. If the City elects to do more than the Wildhorse Valley project, and take a phased approach to doing one or both of the other projects (Las Trampas Valley and the 7.7-acre parcel) at future dates, there would be added cost and time of repeating the regulatory permitting and construction costs inflation. Based on the amount of time required to implement the project, the severity of the existing condition, and the cost and time savings associated with one set of permitting clear ances to implement a comprehensive solution, the draft report recommends funding the project in its entirety and completing the entire project in one concurrent entitlement effort, and potentially phasing construction in a period less than 5 years after permits are obtained.

Typically, for a large restoration project with significant Federal and State reviews, permitting, design and administration costs run approximately 20% of construction costs. This number should be increased to 25% for permitting, design, and administration costs if the project is broken up in to several small projects to be entitled separately.

We list several potential likely sources of grant funding for which this project is likely to be eligible, assuming these grant programs continue: 1. Santa Clara Valley Water District Measure Priority D Grant program. 2. California Department of Fish and Wildlife Proposition 1 Restoration Grant Program. 3. California State Coastal Conservancy – Climate Ready Program or Proposition 1 Restoration Grant Program. 4. United States Environmental Protection Agency - San Francisco Bay Area Water Quality Improvement Fund. 5. Natural Resources Conservation Service - Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). 6. National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and Wells Fargo - Resilient Communities Program. Once project planning progresses, we recommend consulting with the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture prior to verify these grant programs are still available and to inquire about any new grant opportunities. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 34 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 6.2.2 Mitigation Matching Outside of grant funding, it is also possible that the project may be used as a mitigation bank to offset unavoidable wetland or stream impacts created by projects elsewhere in the City of Palo Alto area, preferably in the San Francisquito Creek watershed. If unavoidable project impacts to wetland or stream areas are acceptable to the RWQCB or USACE as part of the 401/404 permitting process, the permittee may be able to purchase created wetlands or stream features from the Buckeye Creek project to offset their unavoidable impacts as compensatory mitigation. This type of arrangement is often used for bridge widening projects or other structural creek bank improvements near roadways performed by Public Works Agencies. Implementation of the restoration plan for Buckeye Creek would generate stream, riparian, and/or freshwater wetland mitigation credits that would be marketed to permittees in order to offset up-front funding costs for the project. Typical marketing consists of posting of potential offset mitigation opportunities on existing web sites, so that permittees are aware of the opportunity. Once a potential permittee has been identified, a third party generally helps the City vet that permittee to ensure that the restoration site will meet their mitigation needs. If so, the permittee will work with the City and the regulatory agencies to identify a section of the restoration site that is suitable for mitigation credits. Once the City and permittee vet the project and receive permitting clearances from the RWQCB and USACE, the permittee pays a non-refundable deposit to City. The deposit covers City staff time and any third party costs. Then as the process progresses, the permittee pays the City additional deposits as milestones are met and the total agreed cost is paid in full (typically 5 years for wetlands and ten years for streams and riparian corridors). Once the agencies determine that the permittee’s mitigation obligation can be satisf ied at the restoration site, a long-term management plan for the selected mitigation area is prepared as well as a conservation easement to hold the easement and endowment that will be used to manage the property in perpetuity. Once the restoration has been completed and the easement is recorded the City, an approved non-profit or a third party can serve the role as the land manager. 7.0 MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS When necessary, Foothills Park staff removes sediment from the creek and stockpiles the material in the park near the areas where it was removed. We recommend moving the existing stockpiled sediment and any future sediment generated, prior to implementing the project, to areas where sediment material can be permanently placed in the park. The two areas shown on the map below area are areas where the stockpiled sediment can be integrated without impact the aesthetics or drainage of the park. Potential Stockpile Area #1 is located near Fire Station 8, and is a low area that was graded for development when Foothills Park was first built. Potential Stockpile Area #2 is an area where soil had been removed in the 1980s to help rebuild the Boronda Lake Dam (see map below). It should be noted that the private resident whose property borders the 7.7 acres has managed the creek sediment removal process up until now at his cost. The City will now be responsible for that work unless an agreement between the City and the private resident is obtained. City of Palo Alto Buckeye Creek – Foothills Park 13010.000.000 Hydrologic Analysis and Restoration Feasibility Study Page | 35 January 9, 2018 Revised February 27, 2018 FIGURE 7: Potential Stockpile Areas near Boronda Lake; Source: City of Palo Alto During the permitting process, an operations and maintenance manual will be drafted for incorporation into project permits for the permanent operations and maintenance of the creek systems within the park, with the USACE, CDFW and RWQCB. 8.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 8.1 CONCLUSIONS The result of this hydrologic and feasibility analysis are summarized as follows: 1. Based on historic knowledge and a review of historic photographs of Buckeye Creek located within Foothills Park, major alterations to the watercourse and adjacent valley floodplains have taken place in the last 100 years. 2. Detrimental erosion issues that currently exist are the result of many previous modifications to the creek channel. Erosional processes are currently undermining several in-line structures and bridges that span the creek. Moreover, the generation of excess sediment is likely impairing downstream watercourses in the San Francisquito Creek watershed, and Park Staff is exhausting resources on continued desilting activities associated with excessive deposition at the creek outfall. If the City does nothing, our opinion is that the existing grade control structures and trail bridges will ultimately fail, and large areas of erosion will engulf portions of the Orchard Glen Picnic Area and portions of the existing 10-acre lawn area in Las Trampas Valley, and ultimately undermine the existing utility and road corridor in Wildhorse Valley.

The creek cannot be restored back to the pre 1900s condition without disrupting many existing land uses in the park and modifying several utility corridors that have been installed. The preferred alternative addresses the creek’s erosion issues and greatly improves the creek habitat without significantly altering the existing land uses or utility corridors. 8.2 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Based on our hydrologic and feasibility study, modifications to the creek channel as proposed in the recommended preferred alternative, such as floodplain enhancement and re-routing creek flows in Wildhorse Valley, would greatly improve the habitat, and help resolve issues of erosion, flooding, and excessive sediment transport processes in the creek. 2. Select additional biological and cultural resource studies would need to take place before a final alternative could ultimately be designed and permitted. However, the general recommendations in this report provide a framework that can be incorporated into a design-level study. 3. Temporary impacts to the creek will occur if the project is constructed. This will involve tree removals, and disruption of the creek bed in areas in Las Trampas Valley where the creek is proposed to be filled in. These temporary impacts can be mitigated through pre-construction biological surveys and a restoration plan to replace loss of tree canopy. However, the overall long-term benefits to the creek include enhancing downstream water quality for aquatic habitat, creating a more robust riparian corridor in the Park itself, reducing flood flows, reducing irrigation water use, and stabilizing all areas of the creek. These benefits outweigh the temporary impacts associated with completion of the project. 4. The project should be implemented, if possible, in one phase. This would accelerate a comprehensive solution to the existing condition and reduce the additional cost associated with breaking up the project into multiple phases. 9.0 LIMITATIONS AND UNIFORMITY OF CONDITIONS This report is issued with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the owner to transmit the information and recommendations of this report to developers, contractors, buyers, architects, engineers and designers for the project so that the necessary steps can be taken by the contractors and subcontractors to carry out such recommendations in the field.

A Tea House was placed in the current Orchard Glen picnic area 1915 with a drinking well. The well is likely the one in the eastern end of Las Trampas Valley found in the park today. This was the first inhabitation of what is now Foothills Park. The area was used as a Pig Farm for 25-years until mid/late 1930’s. During the Early 1940s, a property owner (Dr. Lee) first cleared the vegetation in Wildhorse Valley and dug a ditch halfway up the valley to drain water on the eastern side of Wildhorse Valley. During the Early 1950s, SRI International and the Army experimented with anti-tank mines in Wildhorse Valley. Workers developing the park and installing utilities found mines in the early 1960s. Bulldozers were brought in to locate and dislodge mines without detonators. Development of Wildhorse Valley with heavy equipment starts in early to mid-1960s after the land was purchased by the City of Palo Alto. The Wildhorse Valley portion of Buckeye Creek appears to be filled in on a 1960 aerial photograph. By 1963, the channel reestablishes from Fern gully to Los Trancos gully and along the valley’s eastern side. The deepest section in Wildhorse Valley is 7.4 feet in 1963, according to plans prepared at that time. In 1968, an improved road and underground utilities were installed in Wildhorse Valley. An August 1968 aerial photograph shows the main channel as a deep continuous gully, connected to the Los Trancos and Fern gullies. Fern gully appears as a straight-engineered channel with a culvert 188 ft. from its confluence with the main gully. The pump station appears at the southern end of Wildhorse Valley with a road extending out to the valley entrance. The upper valley appears to have been leveled. Los Trancos gully has been straightened and connected via a culvert to the main gully (other literature states 500 ft. culvert for Los Trancos gully). Eight grade control structures were installed in the main gully to slow erosion following heavy rain ‘67/’68. Max depth is 13 ft. Los Trancos gully is 9 ft. deep (’68). Maintenance shop in Los Trampas Valley constructed in 1968. The 1968/69 rainfall year was produced 40 inches of rainfall. Pictures show that the maintenance shop was inundated with sediment. Buckeye Creek was subsequently channelized and culverted past the maintenance shop in what is now the 7.7-acre parcel. This culverted section of Buckeye Creek clogged with sediment in the ‘82/’83 el Niño storms causing downstream flooding. This section was day lighted when all the gabion work in done in Wildhorse Valley in the mid-1980’s.

(WRA) performed a preliminary desktop assessment of biological resources along Buckeye Creek and associated tributaries (Project Area) located in Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California (Figure 1). The Project Area is located in Foothills Park, 3 miles west of Highway 280 on Page Mill Road. The purpose of the assessment was to gather information to determine biological constraints for possible restoration activities along Buckeye Creek and associated tributaries (Project). The restoration would address potential flooding of Foothill Park infrastructure and control erosion. Buckeye Creek originates in Foothills Park at the upper end of Wildhorse Valley, and discharges into Los Trancos Creek. A 7.7 acre portion of the Project Area is a former quarry site, now dedicated park land with a plant nursery. The creek has been substantially modified by anthropogenic activities, including filling of the floodplain and installation of infrastructure (e.g., roads, culverts, and utilities). During heavy storms, the creek downcuts and overtops its banks while the eroded sediments are deposited in various locations along the creek, especially along the 7.7 acres area where the creek flattens out. A significant portion of the creek is channelized and deeply incised from increased erosion. Sediment must be removed from the creek basins and catchments two to three times a year to maintain creek capacity and prevent flooding. This report describes the results of the preliminary biological resources assessment, which assessed the Project Area for the (1) potential to support special-status species; and (2) presence of other sensitive biological resources protected by local, state, and federal laws and regulations. A biological resources assessment provides general information on the potential presence of sensitive species and habitats. The biological assessment is not an official protocol-level survey for listed species that may be required for project approval by local, state, or federal agencies. This preliminary assessment is based on information available at the time of the study. Previously collected information, including past reports and databases, were used to assess the biological resources; a site visit was not conducted for this assessment. 2.0 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The following sections explain the regulatory context of the preliminary biological resources assessment, including applicable laws and regulations that were applied to the field investigations and analysis of potential project impacts. 2.1 Sensitive Biological Communities Sensitive biological communities include habitats that fulfill special functions or have special values, such as wetlands, streams, or riparian habitat. These habitats are protected under federal regulations such as the Clean Water Act; state regulations such as the Porter-Cologne Act, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Streambed Alteration Program, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); or local ordinances or policies such as city or county tree ordinances, Special Habitat Management Areas, and General Plan Elements.

Waters of the U.S. are defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as waters susceptible to use in commerce, including interstate waters and wetlands, all other waters (intrastate waterbodies, including wetlands), and their tributaries (33 CFR 328.3). Potential wetland areas, according to the three criteria used to delineate wetlands as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987), are identified by the presence of (1) hydrophytic vegetation, (2) hydric soils, and (3) wetland hydrology. Areas that are inundated at a sufficient depth and for a sufficient duration to exclude growth of hydrophytic vegetation are subject to Section 404 jurisdiction as “other waters” and are often characterized by an ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Other waters, for example, generally include lakes, rivers, and streams. The placement of fill material into Waters of the U.S generally requires an individual or nationwide permit from the Corps under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Waters of the State The term “Waters of the State” is defined by the Porter-Cologne Act as “any surface water or groundwater, including saline waters, within the boundaries of the state.” The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) protects all waters in its regulatory scope and has special responsibility for wetlands, riparian areas, and headwaters. These waterbodies have high resource value, are vulnerable to filling, and are not systematically protected by other programs. RWQCB jurisdiction includes “isolated” wetlands and waters that may not be regulated by the Corps under Section 404. Waters of the State are regulated by the RWQCB under the State Water Quality Certification Program which regulates discharges of fill and dredged material under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Projects that require a Corps permit, or fall under other federal jurisdiction, and have the potential to impact Waters of the State, are required to comply with the terms of the Water Quality Certification determination. If a proposed project does not require a federal permit, but does involve dredge or fill activities that may result in a discharge to Waters of the State, the RWQCB has the option to regulate the dredge and fill activities under its state authority in the form of Waste Discharge Requirements. Streams, Lakes, and Riparian Habitat Streams and lakes, as habitat for fish and wildlife species, are subject to jurisdiction by CDFW under Sections 1600-1616 of California Fish and Game Code (CFGC). Alterations to or work within or adjacent to streambeds or lakes generally require a 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement. The term “stream”, which includes creeks and rivers, is defined in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) as “a body of water that flows at least periodically or intermittently through a bed or channel having banks and supports fish or other aquatic life [including] watercourses having a surface or subsurface flow that supports or has supported riparian vegetation” (14 CCR 1.72). In addition, the term “stream” can include ephemeral streams, dry washes, watercourses with subsurface flows, canals, aqueducts, irrigation ditches, and other means of water conveyance if they support aquatic life, riparian vegetation, or stream- dependent terrestrial wildlife (CDFG 1994). “Riparian” is defined as “on, or pertaining to, the banks of a stream.” Riparian vegetation is defined as “vegetation which occurs in and/or adjacent to a stream and is dependent on, and occurs because of, the stream itself” (CDFG 5 1994). Removal of riparian vegetation also requires a Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW. Essential Fish Habitat Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is regulated through the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Protection of EFH is mandated through changes implemented in 1996 to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) to protect the loss of habitat necessary to maintain sustainable fisheries in the United States. The Magnuson-Stevens Act defines EFH as "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity" [16 USC 1802(10)]. NMFS further defines essential fish habitat as areas that "contain habitat essential to the long-term survival and health of our nation's fisheries" (NMFS 2007). EFH can include the water column, certain bottom types such as sandy or rocky bottoms, vegetation such as eelgrass or kelp, or structurally complex coral or oyster reefs. Under regulatory guidelines issued by NMFS, any federal agency that authorizes, funds, or undertakes action that may affect EFH is required to consult with NMFS (50 CFR 600.920). Other Sensitive Biological Communities Other sensitive biological communities not discussed above include habitats that fulfill special functions or have special values. Natural communities considered sensitive are those identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the CDFW. CDFW ranks sensitive communities as "threatened" or "very threatened" and keeps records of their occurrences in its California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB; CDFW 2016). Sensitive plant communities are also identified by CDFW (CNPS 2015a). CNDDB vegetation alliances are ranked 1 through 5 based on NatureServe's (2010) methodology, with those alliances ranked globally (G) or statewide (S) as 1 through 3 considered sensitive. Impacts to sensitive natural communities identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or those identified by the CDFW or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) must be considered and evaluated under CEQA (CCR Title 14, Div. 6, Chap. 3, Appendix G). Specific habitats may also be identified as sensitive in city or county general plans or ordinances. Oak Woodland Under the California Oak Woodlands Conservation Act (2004), impacts to oak woodlands receive consideration under CEQA regardless of whether the woodland is composed of oak (Quercus spp.) vegetation types considered to be sensitive by the CDFW. California Public Resources Code (PRC) 21083.4 requires each county in California to implement an oak woodland protection policy to mitigate for the loss of oak woodlands resultant from approved projects within their jurisdiction. In this policy, oak trees are defined as all native species of oaks larger than 5 inches DBH (diameter at breast height, or 4.5 feet above grade). Under this regulation, if impacts occur to oak woodlands, at least one of four mitigation alternatives for significant conversions of oak woodlands are required: 1) conserve oak woodlands through the use of a conservation easement, 2) plant an appropriate number of trees, including maintaining plantings and replacing dead or diseased trees, 3) contribute funds to the Oak Woodlands Conservation Fund, as established under Section 1363 (a) of the CFGC and 4) other mitigation measures developed by the County. 6 Relevant Local Policies, Ordinances, Regulations City of Palo Alto Municipal Code The Palo Alto Municipal Code Title 8, Trees and Vegetation includes regulations that protect trees in the City. Chapter 8.04 gives the City control of all street trees, shrubs and plants in any street, park or public place within City limits and the power to maintain them. City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan is the primary tool for guiding the future development of the City. Chapter 5 Natural Environment includes Goals, Policies and Programs that guide development impact on open land and natural resources in Palo Alto. Policies pertaining to creeks and riparian areas, wetlands, urban forest, water resources, and wildlife are included in the Natural Environment chapter. 2.2 Sensitive Special-Status Species Special-status species include those plants and wildlife species that have been formally listed, are proposed as endangered or threatened, or are candidates for such listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) or California Endangered Species Act (CESA). These acts afford protection to both listed species and those that are formal candidates for listing. The federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act also provides broad protections to both eagle species that are roughly analogous to those of listed species. Additionally, CDFW Species of Special Concern, CDFW California Fully Protected species, USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern, and CDFW Special-status Invertebrates are all considered special-status species. Although these aforementioned species generally have no special legal status, they are given special consideration under CEQA. Bat species are also evaluated for conservation status by the Western Bat Working Group (WBWG), a non-governmental entity; bats named as a “High Priority” or “Medium Priority” species for conservation by the WBWG are typically considered special-status and also considered under CEQA. In addition to regulations for special-status species, most native birds in the United States (including non-status species) are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (MBTA) and the CFGC, Sections 3503, 3503.5 and 3513. Under these laws, deliberately destroying active bird nests, eggs, and/or young is illegal. Plant species on the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rare and Endangered Plant Inventory (Inventory) with California Rare Plant Ranks (Rank) of 1 and 2 are also considered special-status plant species and must be considered under CEQA. Rank 3 and Rank 4 species are afforded little or no protection under CEQA, but are included in this analysis for completeness. A description of the CNPS Ranks is provided below in Table 1. Critical Habitat Critical habitat is a term defined in the ESA as a specific and designated geographic area that contains features essential for the conservation of a threatened or endangered species and that may require special management and protection. The ESA requires federal agencies to consult with the USFWS to conserve listed species on their lands and to ensure that any activities or projects they fund, authorize, or carry out will not jeopardize the survival of a threatened or 7 endangered species. In consultation for those species with critical habitat, federal agencies must also ensure that their activities or projects do not adversely modify critical habitat to the point that it will no longer aid in the species’ recovery. In many cases, this level of protection is similar to that already provided to species by the ESA jeopardy standard. However, areas that are currently unoccupied by the species but which are needed for the species’ recovery are protected by the prohibition against adverse modification of critical habitat. Table 1. Description of CNPS Ranks and Threat Codes California Rare Plant Ranks (formerly known as CNPS Lists) Rank 1A Presumed extirpated in California and either rare or extinct elsewhere Rank 1B Rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere Rank 2A Presumed extirpated in California, but more common elsewhere Rank 2B Rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere Rank 3 Plants about which more information is needed - A review list Rank 4 Plants of limited distribution - A watch list Threat Ranks 0.1 Seriously threatened in California 0.2 Moderately threatened in California 0.3 Not very threatened in California 3.0 METHODS A preliminary desktop biological resources assessment was conducted to determine (1) plant communities present within the Project Area, (2) if suitable habitat for any special-status plant or wildlife species has potential to occur in or adjacent to the Project Area, and (3) if sensitive habitats are present within the Project Area. Several resources were used to conduct the analysis, including Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), satellite imagery (Google Earth 1998-2016), United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geologic Map, San Francisco Sheet, California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) search focusing on Mindego Hill, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Woodside, and La Honda 7.5 minute USGS quadrangles, and USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation (IPAC) species list. A site visit was not conducted. 3.1 Biological Communities The NRCS Web Soil Survey, NWI, satellite imagery (Google Earth 2016), and USGS Geologic Map, San Francisco Sheet, were examined to determine if any unique soil types that could support sensitive plant communities and/or aquatic features were present in the Project Area. Biological communities present in the Project Area were classified based on existing plant community descriptions described in the Manual of California Vegetation, Online Edition (CNPS 2016) or Preliminary Descriptions of the Terrestrial Natural Communities of California (Holland 1986). However, in some cases it is necessary to identify variants of community types or to 8 describe non-vegetated areas that are not described in the literature. Biological communities were classified as sensitive or non-sensitive as defined by CEQA and other applicable laws and regulations. 3.1.1 Non-sensitive Biological Communities Non-sensitive biological communities are those communities that are not afforded special protection under CEQA, and other state, federal, and local laws, regulations and ordinances. These communities may, however, provide suitable habitat for some special-status plant or wildlife species and are identified or described in Section 4.1.1 below. 3.1.2 Sensitive Biological Communities Sensitive biological communities are defined as those communities that are given special protection under CEQA and other applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances. Applicable laws and ordinances are discussed above in Section 2.0. Special methods used to identify sensitive biological communities are discussed below. Wetlands and Waters Using aerial imagery (Google Earth 2016), USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps, stream mapping, and NWI, the Project Area was remotely examined to determine if any wetlands and waters potentially subject to jurisdiction by the Corps or RWQCB were present. Other Sensitive Biological Communities The Project Area was remotely evaluated for the presence of other sensitive biological communities, riparian areas, and sensitive plant communities recognized by CDFW and City of Palo Alto. Aerial photographs, local soil maps, and A Manual of California Vegetation, Online Edition (CNPS 2015a) were reviewed to assess the potential for sensitive biological communities to occur in the Project Area. All alliances within the Project Area with a ranking of 1 through 3 were considered sensitive biological communities and mapped. These communities are described in Section 4.1.2 below. 3.2 Special-Status Species 3.2.1 Literature Review Potential occurrence of special-status species in the Project Area was evaluated by first determining which special-status species occur in the vicinity of the Project Area through a literature and database search. Database searches for known occurrences of special-status species focused on Mindego Hill, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Woodside, and La Honda 7.5 minute USGS quadrangles. The following sources were reviewed to determine which special-status plant and wildlife species have been documented to occur in the vicinity of the Project Area: •California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) records (CDFW 2016) •USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation Species Lists (USFWS 2016) •CNPS Inventory records (CNPS 2016b) •CDFG publication “California’s Wildlife, Volumes I-III” (Zeiner et al. 1990) 9 •CDFG publication California Bird Species of Special Concern (Shuford and Gardali 2008) •Breeding Bird Atlas of Santa Clara County, California (Bousman 2007) •CDFW and University of California Press publication California Amphibian and Reptile Species of Special Concern (Thomson et al. 2016) •A Field Guide to Western Reptiles and Amphibians (Stebbins and McGinnis 2012) •University of California at Davis Information Center for the Environment Distribution Maps for Fishes in California (2016) •Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration Historical Distribution and Current Status of Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Streams of the San Francisco Estuary, California (2016) •National Marine Fisheries Service Distribution Maps for California Salmonid Species (2013) •City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan (2016) 3.2.2 Site Assessment The site assessment was conducted remotely, using satellite imagery, maps, and database searches to determine potential suitable habitats for special-status species. Conditions determined to exist at the Project Site were used to evaluate the potential for presence of special-status species based on these searches and the professional expertise of the investigating biologists. The potential for each special-status species to occur in the Project Area was then evaluated according to the following criteria: •No Potential. Habitat on and adjacent to the site is clearly unsuitable for the species requirements (foraging, breeding, cover, substrate, elevation, hydrology, plant community, site history, disturbance regime). •Unlikely. Few of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or the majority of habitat on and adjacent to the site is unsuitable or of very poor quality. The species is not likely to be found on the site. •Moderate Potential. Some of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present, and/or only some of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is unsuitable. The species has a moderate probability of being found on the site. •High Potential. All of the habitat components meeting the species requirements are present and/or most of the habitat on or adjacent to the site is highly suitable. The species has a high probability of being found on the site. •Present. Species is observed on the site or has been recorded (i.e. CNDDB, other reports) on the site recently. The preliminary assessment is intended to identify the potential for presence or absence of suitable habitat for each special-status species known to occur in the vicinity in order to determine its potential to occur in the Project Area. The site assessment does not constitute a protocol-level survey and is not intended to determine the actual presence or absence of a species. In cases where little information is known about species occurrences and habitat requirements, the species evaluation was based on best professional judgment of WRA biologists with experience working with the species and habitats. 10 3.3 Protected Trees City of Palo Alto Municipal Code describes Protected Trees as all coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) and valley oak (Quercus lobata) 36 inches or greater DBH, coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) 57 inches or greater DBH and heritage trees designated by the City Council. 4.0 RESULTS The Project Area is located along Buckeye Creek in Foothills Park, Palo Alto, Santa Clara County, California. The Project Area is located in City of Palo Alto open space, west of highway 280 in the Los Altos Hills. The primary land use in and around the Project Area is recreation for the residents of Palo Alto. Buckeye Creek is an intermittent stream which is seasonally flooded (NWI 2016). Several community types occur within the Project Area, including California bay forest, oak woodland, non-native grassland, chamise chaparral, and developed areas. The majority of the site is characterized by California bay forest, coast live oak woodland, and developed areas. Developed areas include paved roads, parking lots, a plant nursery, an interpretive center and other park buildings. The California bay forest is a riparian forest because it occurs along the banks of Buckeye creek and associated tributaries; coverage appears to be primarily continuous, however there are several patches where the canopy is sparse or nearly absent. The riparian forest transitions to coast live oak forest upslope from Buckeye Creek, though in some locations coast live oak woodland may be riparian. Upslope, on south-facing slopes, chamise chaparral is dominant vegetation community. Elevations of the Project Area range from approximately 500 to 1,000 feet. According to Santa Clara Area, Western Part Soil Survey, the Project Area contains 5 soil types composed of six soil series: Stevenscreek sandy clay loam, 0 to 2 percent slope, Flaskan sandy clay loam, 5 to 9 percent slope, Zepplin-Mccoy complex 15 to 30 percent slope, Footpath-Mouser complex, 30 to 50 percent slope, and Footpath-Mouser complex 50 to 75 percent slope. None of these soils is considered hydric (USDA 2016). Stevenscreek soils consist of very deep fine-loam formed in alluvium weathered from mixed rock sources and occur on alluvial fans. These soils are well drained, having low runoff and moderately slow permeability. Flaskan soil consists of very deep fine loam formed in alluvium from mixed rocks and occurs on alluvial fans. These soils are well drained, having moderate permeability. Zepplin soils consist of deep, fine sandy loam to clay formed in residuum from sandstone and occur on hills. These soils are well drained with slow permeability. Mccoy soils consist of moderately deep fine clay loam formed from weathered granitic rock and occur on hill uplands. These soils are well drained with medium to very rapid runoff and moderately slow permeability. Footpath soils consist of moderately deep to shallow coarse sandy loam formed from greenstone and occur on hills, mountain slopes and summits. These soils are well drained with moderately slow permeability. Mouser soils consist of deep and very deep gravelly loam formed from sandstone, mudstone, and greenstone and occur on summits and slopes. These soils are well drained with moderately slow permeability and medium runoff. 11 4.1 Biological Communities Table 2 summarizes the area of each biological community type to be in the Project Area as determined through aerial imagery (Google Earth2016). Biological communities within the Project Area are shown in Figure 2. A brief site visit was conducted to determine biological communities. Non-sensitive biological communities in the Project Area include chamise chaparral, non-native grassland, and developed. Sensitive biological communities which are found in the Project Area include riparian California bay forest, coast live oak woodland, and streams. General descriptions for each biological community are contained in the following sections. Table 2. Summary of Biological Communities in the Project Area Community Type Area (acres/linear feet) Non-Sensitive Developed land 25.99 Non-native annual grassland 15.02 Chamise chaparral 14.46 Sensitive Coast live oak woodland 47.66 California bay forest 8.90 Ephemeral stream 2,223 linear feet Intermittent stream 9,034 linear feet Total Project Area 1,112.06 4.1.1 Non-Sensitive Biological Communities Developed Developed communities are not described in the literature. These areas are generally associated with structures and associated features, such as parking lots, driveways, yards, and landscaped areas. Within the Project Area developed areas include a plant nursery located within the old quarry area, paved roads, and parking lots. The Project Area contains 25.99 acres of developed land. Non-native annual grassland Non-native annual grassland typically occurs in open areas of valleys and foothills throughout California, usually on fine textured clay or loam soils that are somewhat poorly drained (Holland 1986). Non-native grassland is typically dominated by non-native annual grasses and forbs along with scattered native wildflowers. Non-native annual grassland is present in the center of the Project Area, between Buckeye Creek and a paved access road. Plant species generally Figure 2.

Chamise Chaparral (14.46 ac.) Developed (25.99 ac.) Non-native Grassland 15.02 ac.) Oak Woodland (47.66 ac.) Bukeye Creek (9,034 ln.ft.) Tributaries to Buckeye Creek (2,223 ln.ft.) 13 This Page Left Blank Intentionally 14 observed in this area included slender wild oat (Avena barbata), ripgut brome (Bromus diandrus), yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis), and storksbill (Erodium spp.). The Project Area contains approximately 15.0 acres of non-native grassland. Chamise chaparral Chamise chaparral is a shrub community which chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum) is dominant in the shrub canopy. This biological community occurs on varied topography and bedrock where soils are commonly shallow over colluvium (CNPS 2016b). Known plant species which occur in this community include manzanita (Arctostaphylos spp.), Ceanothus (Ceanothus spp.), sticky monkey flower (Mimulus aurantiacus), toyon, and yerba santa (Eriodictyon californicum). In the Project Area, chamise chaparral occurs on the south facing slopes in the higher elevations. The Project Area contains approximately 14.5 acres of chamise chaparral. 4.1.2 Sensitive Biological Communities California bay forest (riparian) California bay forest is a forest community which California bay is dominant or co-dominant in the intermittent to continuous tree canopy. This biological community occurs in the cismontane mountains and foothills of the Sierra Nevada range throughout California on alluvial benches, streamsides, valley bottoms, coastal bluffs, inland ridges, steep north-facing slopes and rocky outcrops on shallow to deep sandy to clay loam soils. Known plant species which occur in this community include big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), madrone (Arbutus menziesii), tan oak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), poison oak, Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and live oak (Quercus chrysolepis). In the Project Area, California bay forest occurs along the banks of Buckeye Creek; therefore it is considered a riparian forest. The Project Area contains approximately 8.9 acres of California bay forest. Many, if not most, of the California bay trees and other tree species that line the creek are undercut and in peril of topping over. Coast live oak woodland Coast live oak woodland is a tree community which coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) is dominant or co-dominant in the open to continuous tree canopy. This biological community occurs on the cismontane mountain ranges from Humboldt to San Diego Counties on alluvial terraces, canyon bottoms, stream banks, slopes flats where soils are deep, sandy or loamy with high organic matter (CNPS 2016b). Known plant species which occur in this community include California bay (Umbellularia californica), poison oak (Toxicodendron diversilobum), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus), California coffeeberry (Frangula californica), toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), and chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum). In the Project Area, coast live oak woodland occurs on the slopes above the riparian vegetation associated with Buckeye Creek as well as western and northern slopes throughout. It is possible that portions of the coast live oak woodland could be considered riparian if they are associated with streams which occur in the Project Area. The Project Area contains approximately 47.5 acres of coast live oak woodland. 15 Ephemeral Stream An ephemeral stream is a stream which flows for only brief periods usually during or shortly following storms; the water table is usually well below the stream bottom for most of the season (NWI 2016). Several tributaries to Buckeye Creek are present within the Project Area and they are believed to be ephemeral streams. Vegetation associated with the streams is predominantly coast live oak woodland as described above. The Project Area contains approximately 2,223 linear feet of ephemeral stream. Intermittent Stream (Buckeye Creek) An intermittent stream is a stream in which water flows for periods of time after storms, especially early in the growing season, but in which flow is absent by the end of the growing season. When water is not flowing, it may remain in isolated pools or surface water may be absent (NWI 2016). A significant portion of the stream (Buckeye Creek) is channelized and deeply incised; during heavy rain events, sediment and debris collect, causing the creek to flood. Vegetation associated with the stream is California bay woodland and coast live oak woodland as described above. Much of the larger vegetation associated with the creek is undercut and in peril of falling. The Project Area contains approximately 9,034 linear feet of perennial stream within the Project Area. 4.2 Special-Status Species 4.2.1 Plants Based upon a review of the resources and databases given in Section 3.2.1, 120 special-status plant species have been documented in the vicinity of the Project Area. Figure 3 depicts special-status plants in a 5-mile radius of the Project Area. The Project Area has a moderate or high potential to support eight of these species. Appendix A summarizes the potential for occurrence for each special-status plant species occurring in the vicinity of the Project Area. Two special-status plant species have a high potential to occur in the Project Area, and six special-status plant species have a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area. Special- status plant species that are most likely (high or moderate potential) to occur in the Project Area are discussed below. The remaining species documented to occur in the vicinity of the Project Area are unlikely or have no potential to occur due to: •Absence of specific edaphic conditions (i.e., serpentine, volcanic, heavy clay, alkaline); •Absence of hydrologic requirements (i.e., vernally mesic); •Absence of suitable biological community (i.e., salt marsh, coastal prairie, coniferous forest, vernal pools); •Project Area outside of elevation range of species; King Mountain manzanita (Arctostaphylos regismontana), CRPR 1B.2. Moderate Potential. King Mountain manzanita is an evergreen shrub in the huckleberry family (Ericaceae) that blooms December through April. It typically occurs on granite or sandstone in broadleaf upland forest, chaparral or North Coast coniferous forest at elevation range from 615 to 2,190 feet (CNPS 2016). Known associated species include evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), poison oak, toyon, interior live oak (Quercus wislizenii), coast live oak, and yerba santa (Eriodictyon californicum)(CNDDB 2016). 11 22 5 6 4 8 2020 12 15 13 18 1016 20 18 2 2 17 3 5 1 18 7 9 18 18 18 20 14 18 20 19 20 18 8 8 18 18 18 18 18 2 18 18 1818 18 7 8 8 18 8 3 3 8 18 18 8 18 8 1818 2 18 18 18 Figure X.

There are 17 CNDDB records within the vicinity of the Project Area, with the nearest documented CNDDB occurrence approximately 5 miles northwest of the Project Area. King Mountain manzanita has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to presence of chaparral and sandstone soils. Santa Clara Red Ribbons (Clarkia concinna ssp. automixa). CRPR 4.3 Moderate Potential. Santa Clara red ribbons is an annual herb in the evening primrose family (Onagraceae) that blooms April through July. It typically occurs on slopes and near intermittent streams in chaparral and cismontane woodland at elevation range 270 to 4,500 feet (CNPS 2016). Known associated species include coast live oak, slender wild oat, sticky monkey flower, poison oak, buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum), and woolly sunflower (Eriophyllum confertiflorum). Santa Clara red ribbons is known from Alameda, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties (CNPS 2016). In Santa Clara County it is known from Mindego Hill (location of Project Area) and Cupertino USGS 7.5-minute quadrangles. The nearest recorded occurrence is approximately 5 miles south east of the Project Area. This species has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to presence of chaparral biological community and the close vicinity of recorded occurrences. Western leatherwood (Dirca occidentalis). CRPR 1B.2. High Potential. Western leatherwood is a deciduous shrub in the mezereum family (Thymelaeaceae) that blooms from January to April, but is typically identifiable via vegetative structures into late summer and/or early fall. It typically occurs on brushy, mesic slopes in partial shade in broadleaf upland forest, chaparral, closed-cone coniferous forest, cismontane woodland, North Coast coniferous forest, riparian forest, and riparian woodland habitat at elevations range from 165 to 1285 feet (CNDDB 2016, CNPS 2016). Known associated species include coast live oak, California bay, Pacific madrone, California coffeeberry, poison oak, toyon, California buckeye, California hazelnut, coyote brush, yerba buena (Satureja douglasii), sword fern (Polystichum munitum), Pacific sanicle (Sanicula crassicaulis), and Douglas iris (Iris douglasii) (CNDDB 2016). Western leatherwood is known from Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2016). There are 25 CNDDB records in the greater vicinity of the Project Area with the closest being within the Project Area. Western leatherwood has a high potential to occur on the brushy, shaded slopes and mesic areas in the California bay forest and coast live oak woodland which occur in the Project Area. California bottle-brush grass (Elymus californicus). CRPR 4.3. Moderate Potential. California bottle-brush grass is a perennial graminoid in the grass family (Poaceae) that blooms from May to November. It typically occurs along stream banks or other mesic sites within broadleaf upland forest, cismontane woodland, North Coast coniferous forest, and riparian woodland habitat at elevations ranging from 45 to 1530 feet (CNPS 2016). Known associated species are not reported in the literature. California bottle-brush grass is known from Marin, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2016). California bottle-brush grass has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to presence of broadleaf upland forest and riparian woodlands. Harlequin lotus (Hosackia gracilis). CRPR 4.2 Moderate Potential. Harlequin lotus is a perennial forb in the pea family (Fabaceae) that blooms from March to July. It typically occurs in 19 wetlands or ditches in broadleaf upland forest, coastal scrub, closed-cone coniferous forest, cismontane woodland, coastal prairie, meadow and seep, marsh and swamp, North Coast coniferous forest, and valley and foothill grassland habitat at elevations ranging from 0 to 2,275 feet (CNPS 2016). Known associated species include tinker’s penny (Hypericum anagalloides), blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium bellum), golden-eyed grass (S. californicum), bird’s-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), common velvet grass (Holcus lanatus), California oat grass (Danthonia californica), and silver hair grass (Aira caryophyllea) (personal observation 2016). Harlequin lotus is known from Del Norte, Humboldt, Marin, Mendocino, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, and Sonoma counties (CNPS 2016). Harlequin lotus has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to the presence of wetlands within or adjacent to forest, woodland, and scrub habitat; however, this species is typically located in coastal sites within the direct maritime influence. Woodland woolythreads (Monolopia gracilens). CRPR 1B.2 High Potential. Woodland woollythreads is an annual herb in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) that blooms February through July. It typically occurs in grassy sites on sandy to rocky soil in broadleaved upland forest, chaparral, cismontane woodland and North Coast coniferous forest (CNPS 2016, CDFW 2016). While often seen on serpentine after burns, it may have only a weak affinity to serpentine (CDFW 2016), but a strong affinity to disturbed areas. The species is seen at elevations ranging 300 to 3,600 feet. Observed associated species include manzanita, yellow pincushion (Chaenactis glabriuscula), most beautiful jewel flower (Streptanthus albidus var. peramoena), Santa Clara valley dudleya (Dudleya setchellii), Mt. Hamilton thistle (Cirsium fontinale var. campylon), leather oak (Quercus durata), Franciscan wallflower (Erysimum franciscanum), coyote bush, and hoary coffeeberry (Rhamnus californica ssp. tomentella). Woodland woollythreads is known from Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, and San Mateo Counties (CNPS 2016). There are 5 CNDDB occurrences within the vicinity of the Project Area, with the closest being 0.85 miles. Woodland woollythreads has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to presence of coast live oak woodland, chamise chaparral biological communities and vicinity of known occurrence to Project Area. Choris’ popcornflower (Plagiobothrys chorisianus var. chorisianus). CRPR 1B.2 Moderate Potential. Choris’ popcornflower is an annual herb in the borage family (Boraginaceae) that blooms March through June. It typically occurs in mesic niches within chaparral, coastal prairie, non-native grassland, and coastal scrub at elevations range 9 to 420 feet (CNPS 2016). Known associated species include coast live oak, coyote bush, seaside daisy (Erigeron glaucus), common spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya), bristly ox-tongue (Helminthotheca echioides), harlequin lotus, and Chilean rabbitsfoot grass (Polypogon australis). Choris’ popcorn flower is known from Alameda, Monterey, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, San Mateo counties (CNPS 2016). There are 3 recorded occurrences in the vicinity of the Project Area, with the closest approximately 1 mile to the west (CDFW 2016). Choris popcornflower has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area due to presence of chaparral and non-native grasslands, as well as proximity to known occurrences. Arcuate bush-mallow (Malacothamnus arcuatus). CRPR 1B.2 Moderate Potential. Arcuate bush-mallow is a perennial evergreen shrub in the mallow family (Malvaceae) that 20 blooms April through September. It typically occurs on gravelly alluvium in chaparral and cismontane woodland at 45 to 1,050 feet elevation (CNPS 2016). Known associated species include coast live oak, Douglas fir, black sage (Salvia mellifera), chamise, California sagebrush (Artemisia californica), poison oak, sticky monkey flower, coyote bush, buckbrush (Ceanothus cuneatus), toyon, and soaproot (Chlorogalum pomeridianum). Arcuate bush-mallow is known from Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and San Mateo counties (CNPS 2016). There are 6 recorded occurrences within the vicinity of the Project Area, with the closest being approximately 1 mile to the northeast (CDFW 2016). Arcuate bush-mallow has a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area to due presence of chaparral on gravelly alluvium soil. 4.2.2 Wildlife 32 special-status species of wildlife have been recorded within a 5-mile radius of the Project Area. Figure 4 depicts the CNDDB occurrences of special-status wildlife in a 5-mile radius of the Project Area, although other references were utilized as well (Section 3.2.1). Due to the preliminary nature of the assessment of the Project Area, wildlife were not directly surveyed or observed. Six special-status wildlife species have a high potential to occur in the Project Area, and five special-status wildlife species have a moderate potential to occur in the Project Area. Special-status wildlife species that are considered present, or have a moderate or high potential to occur in the Project Area are discussed below. Special-status Species with Moderate Potential to occur California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii), Federal Threatened Species, CDFW Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. The California red-legged frog (CRLF) is dependent on suitable aquatic, estivation, and upland habitat. During periods of wet weather, starting with the first rainfall in late fall, red-legged frogs disperse away from their estivation sites to seek suitable breeding habitat. Aquatic and breeding habitat is characterized by dense, shrubby, riparian vegetation and deep, still or slow-moving water. Breeding occurs between late November and late April. CRLF estivate (period of inactivity) during the dry months in small mammal burrows, moist leaf litter, incised stream channels, and large cracks in the bottom of dried ponds. The nearest occurrence of CRLF is approximately 3.3 miles northeast of the Project Area (CNDDB 2016). As CRLF typically prefer habitat with little to no water flow, they may occur within the Project Area during times of little to no flow within Buckeye Creek (i.e. in pools where water is able to stagnate), however the stream likely does not provide suitable breeding habitat. The adjacent land may provide suitable aestivation and dispersal habitat as well. Hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), WBWG Medium Priority. Moderate Potential. Hoary bats are highly associated with forested habitats in the western United States, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. They are a solitary species and roost primarily in foliage of both coniferous and deciduous trees, near the ends of branches, usually at the edge of a clearing. Roosts are typically 10 to 30 feet above the ground. They have also been documented roosting in caves, beneath rock ledges, in woodpecker holes, in grey squirrel nests, under driftwood, and clinging to the side of buildings, though this behavior is not typical. Hoary bats are thought to be highly migratory, however, wintering sites and migratory routes have not been well documented. This species tolerates a wide range of temperatures and has been captured at air temperatures 21 between 0 and 22 degrees Celsius. Hoary bats probably mate in the fall, with delayed implantation leading to birth in May through July. They usually emerge late in the evening to forage, typically from just over one hour after sunset to after midnight. This species reportedly has a strong preference for moths, but is also known to eat beetles, flies, grasshoppers, termites, dragonflies, and wasps (WBWG 2015). There are documented occurrences of hoary bat to the northwest and northeast of the Project Area (approximately 2.5 and 4.5 miles away, respectively). The Project Area provides suitable forested habitat for the hoary bat along with a clearing suitable for foraging, although there is periodic disturbance within this clearing via mowing. This species has a moderate potential to occur within the Project Area. Pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus), CDFW Species of Special Concern, WBWG High Priority. Moderate Potential. Pallid bats are distributed from southern British Columbia and Montana to central Mexico, and east to Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. This species occurs in a number of habitats ranging from rocky arid deserts to grasslands, and into higher elevation coniferous forests. They are most abundant in the arid Sonoran life zones below 6,000 feet, but have been found up to 10,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada. Pallid bats often roost in colonies of between 20 and several hundred individuals. Roosts are typically in rock crevices, tree hollows, mines, caves, and a variety of man-made structures, including vacant and occupied buildings. Tree roosting has been documented in large conifer snags (e.g., ponderosa pine), inside basal hollows of redwoods and giant sequoias, and within bole cavities in oak trees. They have also been reported roosting in stacks of burlap sacks and stone piles. Pallid bats are primarily insectivorous, feeding on large prey that is usually taken on the ground but sometimes in flight. Prey items include arthropods such as scorpions, ground crickets, and cicadas (WBWG 2015). The nearest documented occurrence of pallid bat is approximately 4.5 miles west, near Los Alto, California. However the Project Area may support their presence if trees and other structures can provide suitable roosting habitat. The species’ relative adaptability to different habitat indicates that they have a moderate potential to occur within the Project Area. Long-eared owl (Asio otus). CDFW Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. This generally uncommon species is resident throughout much of California outside of the Central Valley. Long-eared owls breed in a variety of woodland and forest habitats, including coniferous, oak and riparian, as well as planted tree groves. Nearby open habitats with small mammal populations, such as grasslands, meadows and marshes, are also required for foraging. Breeding typically relies on the presence of old nests made by similar-sized birds including hawks and crows (Shuford and Gardali 2008). Communal roosting often occurs during the winter. The nearest documented occurrence is approximately 4 miles south of the Project Area, of which is relatively undisturbed habitat that may provide unhindered dispersal for long-eared owl. The riparian habitat within the Project Area provides suitable habitat for the long-eared owl, however the management of the adjacent grassy area is less ideal for long- eared owl foraging. Therefore this species has a moderate potential to occur. Santa Cruz black salamander (Aneides niger), CDFW Species of Special Concern. Moderate Potential. Climbing salamanders of the genus Aneides frequent damp woodlands and are usually found hiding under various debris (i.e. bark, woodrat nests, logs). The Santa Cruz black salamander exists south of the San Francisco Bay and was only recently recognized as a separate and protected species. They are a black salamander, 2-4 inches long from snout 45 6 45 5 5 58 8 1 13 8 13 11 11 3 11 14 3 41 11 13 13 9 211 14 7 2 14 33 3 3 3 3 12 13 13 102 Figure X.

Santa Cruz black salamander is highly sedentary, preferring to stay hidden under riparian debris. Prey items include millipedes, spiders, and other insects (Stebbins and McGinnis 2012). The nearest documented occurrence of Santa Cruz black salamander is approximately 3 miles south of the Project Area. Santa Cruz black salamanders appear to prefer damp riparian areas and therefore have moderate potential to occur within the Project Area due to the presence of Buckeye Creek. They would likely occur under riparian debris adjacent to the creek. Special-status Species with High Potential to Occur (Brewster’s) Yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia brewsteri), CDFW Species of Special Concern, USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. High Potential. The yellow warbler is a neotropical migrant bird that is widespread in North America, but has declined throughout much of its California breeding range. The Brewster’s (brewsteri) subspecies is a summer resident and represents the vast majority of yellow warblers that breed in California. West of the Central Valley, typical yellow warbler breeding habitat consists of dense riparian vegetation along watercourses, including wet meadows, with willow growth especially being favored (Shuford and Gardali 2008). Insects comprise the majority of the diet. Buckeye Creek and the adjacent forested area to the west of the bank provide highly suitable habitat for the yellow warbler. This species has a high potential of occurring within the Project Area. Oak titmouse (Baeolophus inornatus), USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. High Potential. This relatively common species is year-round resident throughout much of California including most of the coastal slope, the Central Valley and the western Sierra Nevada foothills. In addition, the species may also occur in residential settings where landscaping provides foraging and nesting habitat. Its primary habitat is woodland dominated by oaks. Local populations have adapted to woodlands of pines and/or junipers in some areas (Cicero 2000). The oak titmouse nests in tree cavities, usually natural cavities or those excavated by woodpeckers, though they may partially excavate their own (Cicero 2000). Seeds and arboreal invertebrates make up the birds’ diet. The heavily forested nature of the Project Area, especially along the west bank of Buckeye Creek, is highly suitable habitat for this species. Therefore the oak titmouse has a high potential of occurring within the Project Area. Nuttall’s woodpecker (Picoides nuttallii). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. High Potential. Nuttall’s woodpecker, common in much of its range, is a year-round resident throughout most of California, west of the Sierra Nevada Range. Typical habitat is oak or mixed woodland, including riparian areas (Lowther 2000). Nesting occurs in tree cavities, principally those of oaks and larger riparian trees. This species forages on a variety of arboreal invertebrates. Nuttall’s woodpeckers occur regularly in and near developed areas of the San Francisco Bay Area where suitable habitat is present. This species is likely to occur within the Project Area’s riparian area and adjacent forest. Therefore this species has high potential to occur. Allen’s hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin). USFWS Bird of Conservation Concern. High Potential. Allen’s hummingbird, common in many portions of its range, is a summer resident along the majority of California’s coast and a year-round resident in portions of coastal southern California and the Channel Islands. Breeding occurs in association with the coastal fog belt, and typical habitats used include coastal scrub, riparian, woodland and forest edges, and eucalyptus and cypress groves (Mitchell 2000). It feeds on nectar, as well as insects and 25 spiders. The Project Area contains suitable breeding habitat for Allen’s hummingbird via the riparian and forested areas along Buckeye Creek and lies within the known breeding range of this species (Mitchell 2000). Therefore this species has a high potential to occur within the Project Area. San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat (Neotoma fuscipes annectens), CDFW Species of Special Concern. High Potential. This subspecies of the dusky-footed woodrat occurs in the Coast Ranges between San Francisco Bay and the Salinas River (Matocq 2003). Occupied habitats are variable and include forest, woodland, riparian areas, and chaparral. Woodrats feed on woody plants, but will also consume fungi, grasses, flowers and acorns. Foraging occurs on the ground and in bushes and trees. This species constructs robust stick houses/structures in areas with moderate cover and a well-developed understory containing woody debris. Breeding takes place from December to September. Individuals are active year- round, and generally nocturnal. The Project Area provides a highly suitable habitat to this species via riparian habitat along Buckeye Creek and also lies within the known range of the San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat (Matocq 2003). Therefore this species has a high potential to occur within the Project Area. Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) - Central California Coast DPS. Federal Threatened. High Potential. The steelhead is essentially the native rainbow trout of coastal California that spends part of its life cycle in freshwater and part in the ocean. The Central California Coast DPS includes all naturally-spawned populations (and their progeny) in California streams from the Russian River to Aptos Creek, and the drainages of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays eastward to the Napa River (inclusive); the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin is excluded. Buckeye Creek lies within the drainage basin of the San Francisco Bay and within the geographical population range of central California steelhead. Steelhead typically migrate to marine waters after spending two years in freshwater, though they may stay there for up to seven years. Individuals then reside in marine waters for two or three years prior to returning to their natal stream to spawn as 4- or 5-year-olds. Steelhead adults typically spawn between December and June. In California, females typically spawn two times before they die. Successful reproduction requires abundant riffle areas (shallows with gravel or cobble substrate) for spawning, and deeper pools with sufficient riparian cover for rearing. High-quality spawning habitat occurs in perennial streams with cool to cold water temperatures, high dissolved oxygen levels, and fast-flowing water. The portion of Buckeye Creek flowing through the Project Area may provide suitable spawning habitat for steelhead under favorable conditions (high flows, low sediment) in winter and spring months, although a detailed fish habitat analysis would reveal more accurate information. A technical report by Leidy (2005) summarizes known distribution information for steelhead in San Mateo County streams. Two of Buckeye Creek’s major tributaries, San Francisquito and Los Trancos, flow through San Mateo County and are known to support steelhead populations (Leidy 2005, CEMAR 2016). Due to the interconnectivity of tributaries where steelhead are known to occur and the lack of complete barriers to steelhead dispersal (CDFW 2016), steelhead are considered to have a high potential for occurrence. However, due to the presence of multiple partial barriers along portions of the creek (Stoecker 2002), occurrences are likely to be higher at times of high flow. Buckeye Creek is not designated as critical habitat for steelhead, although its tributary, Los Trancos Creek, is designated Critical Habitat (USFWS 2016). 26 5.0 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Four sensitive biological communities were identified within the Project Area. Eight special- status plant species and 11 special-status wildlife species have a moderate or high potential to occur within the Project Area. The proposed restoration project is expected to clear some vegetation, grade, fill, and contour portions of and within the vicinity of Buckeye Creek and associated tributaries. Any impacts to the creek will be restored in-kind in place and additional wetlands will be created in uplands (i.e., existing non-native grassland meadow adjacent to Buckeye Creek) to capture high flow events. The following sections summarize the results of the biological resources constraints assessment and provide recommendations for future studies. 5.1 Biological Communities The Project Area is composed primarily of non-sensitive biological communities, including chamise chaparral, non-native grassland, and developed areas. However, the riparian California bay forest, coast live oak woodland, and Buckeye Creek and associated tributaries are potentially sensitive biological communities. Buckeye Creek and its tributaries are likely “Waters of the U.S.” and/or “Waters of the State” and potentially within the jurisdiction of the Corps under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and RWQCB under the Porter Cologne Act and Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Any riparian vegetation, including California bay forest, is potentially under the jurisdiction of CDFW under Sections 1600-1616 of CDFC. Any work within the top of bank or within riparian canopy cover of any drainage, including the removal of vegetation, would likely require a Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from CDFW. Work outside the top of bank or riparian cover may also be subject to Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement from the CDFW and/or a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the RWQCB if it has the potential to impact the creek. Additionally, any work within the OHWM of the stream could require a Section 404 permit from the Corps. It is also expected mitigation for impacts to the creek and tributaries will be replaced in-kind on site and the project would be self-mitigating. The proposed project is expected to be self-mitigating through the creek improvements and creation of on-site wetlands. To determine OHWM and top of bank within “Waters,” a formal wetland delineation is recommended. Additionally, mapping the extent of riparian vegetation in the field is recommended. Under the California Oak Woodland Conservation Act, a county shall determine whether a project within its jurisdiction and subject to CEQA, may result in a 10 percent decrease or more of native oak canopy within the oak woodland in the Project Area. If significant impacts are to occur, then at least one of four mitigation alternatives for significant conversions of oak woodlands are required in this regulation: 1) conserve oak woodlands through the use of a conservation easement, 2) plant an appropriate number of trees, including maintaining plantings and replacing dead or diseased trees, 3) contribute funds to the Oak Woodlands Conservation Fund, as established under Section 1363 (a) of the CDFC, and 4) other mitigation measures developed by the County. It is recommended that extent of oak woodlands be mapped and an arborist survey be conducted to determine number and location of oaks within the Project Area which are 5 inches or greater DBH. The arborist survey would determine the status of any trees as protected or not within the Project Area. 27 5.2 Special-Status Plant Species Of the 120 special-status plant species known to occur in the vicinity of the Project Area, eight species, King Mountain manzanita, Santa Clara red ribbons, western leatherwood, California bottle-brush grass, harlequin lotus, woodland woollythreads, Choris popcornflower, and arcuate bush-mallow, were determined to have high or moderate potential to occur in the Project Area based on aerial imagery, database searches, and soil surveys. To determine the presence of the eight special-status species in the Project Area, either a protocol level special-status plant surveys or focused special-status plant surveys are recommended in April and June to capture peak blooming periods for all species with potential to occur. If the proposed project has significant impacts to any above-listed plant species, mitigation would be recommended. Possible mitigation measures may include avoidance, seed collection, supplemental plantings, and/or transplanting. The special-status species with moderate or high potential to occur are not federal or state listed, therefore no “take” permits are necessary from USFWS or CDFW. However, in order to acquire permits from the lead agency (City of Santa Clara), impacts will have to be determined less than significant to comply with CEQA. Any impacts to special-status plants are expected to be able to be self-mitigating by the Project. 5.3 Protected Trees Likely, many protected trees occur within the Project Area. It is recommended an arborist survey be conducted by a certified arborist to determine the number and locations of all protected trees within the Project Area. The arborist report would also identify the trees along the creek that are undercut and would likely have structural failure in the near future. The City of Palo Alto Tree Technical Manual should be referred to for required practices in tree impacts and removal. Possible mitigation for the loss of protected trees may include avoidance, preservation measures, and replacement of trees proposed for removal or impacted by the development. It is expected that the Project would include replanting of trees and would be self- mitigating as part of the restoration. 5.4 Special-Status Wildlife Species Six special-status wildlife species were determined to have high potential to occur within the Project Area, and five wildlife species were determined to have moderate potential to occur within the Project Area. Recommendations for special-status wildlife species are discussed below. Nesting Birds Nuttall’s woodpecker, long-eared owl, yellow warbler, oak titmouse, and Allen’s hummingbird all have potential to be present within the Project Area, including for nesting. In addition to these species, a variety of other bird species with baseline legal protection under the MBTA and CFGC have the potential to nest within the Project Area. Substrates within the Project Area that may be used for nesting are highly variable and include trees, shrubbery, and even weedy/ruderal areas. 28 To avoid adverse impacts to nesting birds due to project activities within the Project Area, the following measures are recommended: •To the fullest extent feasible, initial ground disturbance and/or vegetation removal should occur during the non-breeding season (September 1 to February 14). Pre-construction nesting bird surveys are typically not required during this period. (Note, however, that some birds have the potential to nest year-round; if nests are observed during project activities, a biologist should be consulted, and the nest avoided as described below.) •If initial ground disturbance and/or vegetation removal occurs during the breeding season (February 15 through August 31), a qualified biologist should conduct a nesting bird survey no more than 14 days prior to ground disturbance to determine whether any birds are nesting within or adjacent to project impact areas. •If active nests are found within project impact areas or close enough to these areas to affect nesting success, the biologist should establish an appropriate work exclusion zone around each nest. Exclusion zone sizes vary dependent upon bird species, nest location, and existing visual buffers and ambient sound levels. A buffer radius may be as small as 25 feet for common species and up to 300 feet or more for special-status species and raptors. Once all young have become independent of the nest (or the nest otherwise becomes inactive), work may recommence within the exclusion zone. •If initial ground disturbance is delayed or there is a break in project activities of greater than 14 days within the bird nesting season, then a follow up nesting bird survey should be performed to ensure no nests have been established in the interim period. Roosting bats Between October 1 and March 31, it is generally accepted that bats in California do not utilize trees as day roosts, night roosts or as hibernacula. Thermal conditions of tree roosts tend to fluctuate during these months more than is preferable for most species. Trees, specifically cavities and spaces created by peeling or exfoliating bark, are often used between April 1 and September 31 as day roosts and occasionally as maternity roosts for small colonies of female bats. Additionally some species, such as hoary bats (Lasiurus cinereus) roost singly in tree foliage, however in winter months, foliage roosting bats tend to migrate to warmer climates where temperatures are moderate year-round, or to colder climates or elevations where colder temperatures facilitate hibernation. Both the hoary and pallid bats have potential to be present within the Project Area and may utilize habitat for maternity roosts. To avoid adverse impacts to roosting bats due to project activities within the Project Area, the following measures are recommended: •To the fullest extent feasible, initial ground disturbance and/or vegetation removal should occur during the non-maternity season (October 1 to March 31). Pre-construction roost surveys are typically not required during this period and trees slated for removal should simply be felled and left undisturbed for 24 hours to allow any potential individual bats to leave the work area. 29 •If initial ground disturbance and/or vegetation removal occurs during the breeding season (April 1 to September 30), a qualified biologist should conduct a roost assessment survey no more than 14 days prior to ground disturbance to determine whether any bats are roosting within or adjacent to Project impact areas. •If active roosts are found within project impact areas or close enough to these areas to affect roost success, the biologist should establish an appropriate work exclusion zone around each roost. Exclusion zone sizes vary dependent upon species, roost location, and existing visual buffers and ambient sound levels. USFWS should be consulted for further action if special-status bats are present within the work impact areas. •If initial ground disturbance is delayed or there is a break in Project activities of greater than 14 days within the maternity season, then a follow up roost assessment survey should be performed to ensure no maternity roosts have been established in the interim period. California red-legged frog Due to the moderate potential for the fully-protected California red-legged frog (CRLF) to occur on site, the following are recommended to avoid negatively impacting this species: •A habitat assessment and/or protocol-level survey effort of potential breeding features both within and adjacent to the Project Area. Such work would occur during the CRLF breeding season (roughly November through April). •If CRLF breeding or migration corridor habitat is present, the following mitigation measures may be recommended: o Pre-construction surveys should be performed within 48 hours of the initiation of work activities, including any exclusion fence installation and initial ground disturbing activities. o If works occurs in the wet season, installation of a wildlife exclusion fence (or sections of fencing) to prevent CRLF (dispersing or otherwise) from entering project work areas. Such fencing should be maintained throughout project activities. o Biological sensitivity training for project personnel focused on CRLF identification and the project-specific avoidance and minimization measures to be implemented. o Presence of an on-site biological monitor during some or potentially all work activities. o Prohibition of some project activities (e.g., those involving heavy equipment use) during and immediately after rain events (typically defined as ≥ 0.25 inch of rain falling within a 24 hour period). 30 •If CRLF adults, tadpoles, or eggs are found to be present within the work area, all CRLFs would have to be carefully avoided and USFWS should be consulted. A suite of avoidance and minimization measures will likely need to be developed. Santa Cruz black salamander Santa Cruz black salamander has a moderate potential of occurring in the riparian area along Buckeye Creek within the Project Area. To avoid impacting this species of special concern, a pre-construction survey is recommended to determine if the species is present within work impact areas. If so, CDFW should be consulted to determine if individuals may be relocated to outside the work area. Measures to avoid impacting CRLF will likely be successful for the Santa Cruz black salamander as well. San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat The San Francisco dusky-footed woodrat has a high potential of being present within the Project Area due to its preference for riparian woodland. To avoid negatively impacting this state- protected species, the following are recommended: •A pre-construction survey should be conducted by a qualified biologist prior to vegetation removal and/or ground disturbance within the Project Area to determine whether any San Francisco dusky-footed woodrats have nest structures within or adjacent to project impact areas. •If work cannot be avoided near a structure, a qualified biologist should dismantle the structure by hand. •If woodrat young are encountered during the dismantling process, the material should be placed back on the house, and a work exclusion buffer of at least 10 feet placed around the structure. The structure should remain unmolested for at least two weeks in order to allow the young to mature and leave the nest of their own accord. After the avoidance period, the nest dismantling process may begin again. Nest material should then be moved to adjacent vegetated areas that will not be disturbed. Steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus) Steelhead were determined to have a high potential to occur for the purposes of this report and have protection under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Due to the nature of the Project, the work affecting the stream channel cannot be avoided and the Project will likely need consultation with NMFS due to the high potential for occurrence of federally-listed steelhead and interconnectivity with Los Trancos Creek, a designated Critical Habitat (Figure; USFWS 2016). To further determine the potential for occurrence of steelhead in the Project Area, a focused steelhead habitat analysis should be conducted. This habitat analysis should analyze all portions of Buckeye Creek and include a fish passage analysis on Los Trancos Creek, between Highway 280 (the nearest location of a recoded history of steelhead occurrence) and Buckeye Creek. 31 Alternatively, steelhead may be assumed present and the focused steelhead habitat analysis would not be recommended. Rather the project would implement measures to avoid impacts to steelhead as listed below. The following are typical recommendations for avoiding impacts to steelhead in the portion of Buckeye Creek that will be affected by Project-related activities. •To the fullest extent feasible, initial in-channel work should occur in the dry season when Buckeye Creek has little to no flow. •A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) should be constructed to avoid increased sedimentation of Buckeye Creek. This typically includes: o All project-related debris should be removed from the Project Area and disposed of at an upland, offsite location. o All removed sediment should be disposed of at an upland, offsite location. o Any staging, maintenance, or storage of heavy machinery should be in a location where no fuel, oil, or other petroleum product may run off or washed into the creek channel. o Best Management Practices to avoid bank erosion and sediment runoff into the creek channel should be implemented, including silt and erosion control fencing around the work area. The project is expected to improve habitat for steelhead through creek restoration and would be self-mitigating for steelhead habitat. 6.0 CONCLUSION Based on the results of the desktop assessment, it is anticipated the proposed Project could impact sensitive biological communities and possibly special-status plants and wildlife. The proposed project has the potential to impact jurisdictional waters and will likely require permits from the Corps (Section 404 Nationwide Permit), the RWQCB (Section 401 Certification), and the CDFW (Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement). The OHWM of Buckeye Creek represents the landward limit of Corps jurisdiction within the Project Area, and project work below the OHWM of Buckeye Creek will require a permit from the Corps. Top of bank or the outer edge of the riparian canopy, whichever extends further, represents the limit of RWQCB and CDFW jurisdiction within the Project Area. Work within top of bank or within the riparian canopy will require permits from the RWQCB and CDFW for any impacts to these habitats. Due to the potential presence of steelhead (a federally threatened species), further analysis of steelhead habitat and potential for fish passage to Buckeye Creek should be conducted and NMFS will likely need to be consulted for work within Buckeye Creek. Additionally, if a pre- construction survey determines the presence of CRLF, hoary bat, pallid bat, or Santa Cruz black salamander, the Project will likely need consultation with the associated regulatory agency (CDFW and/or USFWS) to determine appropriate measures to avoid and/or minimize impacts to these species. Depending on the extent of impacts to the stream or wetland habitats, permit conditions may require compensatory mitigation for any impacts to wetlands, non-wetland waters, and/or riparian habitat. It is expected this Project would be self-mitigating for impacts to wetlands and “waters” through the restoration of Buckeye Creek itself and through creation of on-site wetlands 32 which will mitigate impacts to the creek and tributaries. In addition, mitigation may be required for impacts to trees protected under the City tree ordinance. Several surveys should also be conducted prior to ground disturbance to determine presence and/or extent of sensitive biological resources. Such surveys include: special-status plant surveys, special-status wildlife surveys, arborist survey, and a riparian vegetation survey. Additional studies to be conducted include a wetland delineation to determine locations of OHWM, top of bank, and any wetlands possibly present within the Project Area. 33 7.0 REFERENCES Baldwin, BG, DH Goldman, DJ Keil, R Patterson, TJ Rosatti, and DH Wilken (eds.). 2012.

Background In 2016, Santa Clara County voters approved Measure B, a 30-year, half-cent countywide sales tax to enhance transit, highways, expressways and active transportation (bicycles, pedestrians and complete streets). Among the programs to be funded under Measure B is $700 million for Caltrain Grade Separations in the cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale. A lawsuit challenging the validity of 2016 Measure B was filed, and while a trial court ruled in favor of VTA the case remains pending an appeal. In the meanwhile, funds are being collected and held in escrow. While funding remains on hold, VTA has proceeded with developing criteria and processes for the use of the anticipated funding. In late 2017, the VTA Board adopted guidelines for each of the funding programs. Attachment A provides the adopted guidelines for the Caltrain Grade Separation program. Discussion The Cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and VTA have begun informal discussions regarding the use and timing of the funds. Most recently, in early April Mountain View councilmember and VTA Boardmember John McAlister advanced a proposal to VTA General Manager Nuria Fernandez that the anticipated $700 million funding be divided among the cities based on the number of grade separations within each city, with 50% to Palo Alto, 25% to Mountain View, and 25% to Sunnyvale. Each city would then be responsible for securing the additional funding needed for the grade separations within their jurisdiction. Councilmember McAlister expressed the need for urgency in decision-making, in light of Caltrain’s electrification project proceeding. City of Palo Alto Page 2 General Manager Fernandez replied by communicating that VTA is currently finalizing the scope of work for an implementation plan for use of the Measure B grade separation funds. This scope presumably includes a strategy for VTA to leverage Measure B funds to secure additional funding, reconcile timing needs, and be actively involved in managing the delivery of these grade separation projects. City Manager Keene and staff will continue involvement in these discussions in order to advocate for Palo Alto’s interests while recognizing the necessity of collaboration with our neighboring communities and funding partners. Timeline, Resource Impact, Policy Implications These ongoing discussions reinforce the importance of Palo Alto continuing progress on our grade separation priorities. As discussions and decisions proceed regarding funding allocations and leveraging additional funding, as well as agency roles and project delivery coordination, it will be increasingly important that Palo Alto’s needs can be sufficiently defined to be effectively advocated among the projects being advanced by other agencies and VTA’s program management role. Attachments: AppA-Caltrain Grade Separation Program Guidelines_ADOPTED Page 1 of 1 Caltrain Grade Separation Program Guidelines Definition from Resolution No. 2016.06.17 To fund grade separation projects along the Caltrain corridor in the cities of Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Palo Alto, separating the Caltrain tracks from roadways to provide increased safety benefits for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians and also reduce congestion at the intersections. Total Funding $700 million in 2017 dollars. Distribution As candidate projects move forward in readiness (ability to expend Measure funds), the project sponsor will submit request for funding. Funds will be allocated to projects that most cost‐effectively utilize 2016 Measure B funding. Funds will be distributed on a reimbursement basis. Implementation VTA will work with the cities and other partners to develop an implementation plan for delivering the eight grade separation projects eligible for 2016 Measure B funds. There will be two program categories for funds: o Planning o Capital projects Criteria All project sponsors must apply to the State §190 Grade Separation Program. Requirements Reporting requirements regarding project progress will be detailed in agreements executed with VTA for project funding. Each project will require a 10% non‐2016 Measure B contribution. All projects must be in compliance with VTA’s Complete Streets Reporting Requirements. All collateral material will be required to display a 2016 Measure B logo. ATTACHMENT A (ID # 9254)City of Palo Alto City Council Report Type: Information Meeting Date: 5/22/2018 City of Palo Alto Page 1 Summary Title: Caltrain Business Plan Status Title: Caltrain Business Plan Status Report From: City Manager Lead Department: City Manager Recommendation This report is informational for the Rail Committee and City Council; no action is required. Background In February 2018, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board of Directors adopted a Caltrain Business Plan Strategy and Scope of Work. This initiated the development of a business plan for Caltrain to address, among other issues, infrastructure planning and an assessment of Caltrain’s interface with the communities it traverses. This is expected to be a significant undertaking, to be developed in parallel with the California High Speed Rail Authority Business Plan, and include long range forecasting, system planning, and organizational assessment. The overall funding required for this planning effort has been set at $5 million, and includes a partnership agreement with Stanford University for technical support and advisory services. Discussion Caltrain staff has indicated that a primary forum for engaging communities along the corridor will be the Local Policy Makers Group (LPMG), which includes elected representatives from all communities through which Caltrain runs. Councilmember Scharff serves as Palo Alto’s representative on the LPMG, and Councilmember Fine serves as our alternate. The LPMG meets monthly, and of late has alternated the lead responsibility for each meeting’s agenda between Caltrain and the California High Speed Rail Authority. Given the level of effort involved with the Caltrain Business Plan, however, Caltrain staff has indicated that the monthly agendas will now focus on the business plan. Members of the LPMG have repeatedly communicated interest in grade separations and looking to Caltrain as a resource for the planning, funding, and delivery of grade-separation City of Palo Alto Page 2 projects, and Caltrain has committed to developing a grade separation “toolkit” for discussion within the next few months. As designed, the business planning effort is expected to provide a primary venue for discussion and defining Caltrain’s role in grade- separation projects going forward. Attachment A provides the material from the most recent LPMG meeting including discussion of the business plan. Should it proceed as described, the Caltrain Business Plan and the LPMG in general will be an important venue for reinforcing the regional and interjurisdictional context for Palo Alto’s grade-separation efforts.

The California High- Speed Rail Authority Draft 2018 Business Plan introduces the possibility of early electrified service from San Francisco to Gilroy. The Caltrain Business Plan has been established as a comprehensive planning process to consider the future of the corridor (and includes partnership with the California High Speed Rail Authority). The Caltrain Business Plan will now serve as the primary, coordinated venue for rail planning discussions and will be the focus of CSCG and LPMG meetings. High-Speed Rail Draft 2018 Business Plan On March 9, 2018, the California High-Speed Rail Authority released the Draft 2018 Business Plan that transparently acknowledges the project’s challenges and outlines a sensible path forward that will continue to put thousands of Californians to work building the nation’s first high-speed rail system. In the face of these challenges, the draft business plan proposes to continue an investment strategy that builds infrastructure, linked over time, to provide mobility, economic and environmental benefits to Californians and initiate high-speed rail service as soon as possible. Toward that end, the draft business plan identifies the following investment priorities: 1. Meet Our Commitments to Federal Funding Partner: The Authority will complete the 119-mile segment in the Central Valley and complete environmental review for the entire Phase 1 System between San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim by 2022, as required by the federal grant agreement. 2. Extend the Valley-to-Valley Service from San Francisco to Bakersfield: The draft business plan recognizes the high ridership and revenue potential of linking the Silicon Valley with the Central Valley between San Francisco and Bakersfield. 3. Deliver 224 Miles of High-Speed Rail Ready Infrastructure for Use by 2027: The draft business plan proposes to construct high-speed rail ready infrastructure in the Central Valley (Madera to Bakersfield) and in Silicon Valley (San Francisco to Gilroy) to reduce travel times for existing passenger rail systems, 2 expand clean, electrified service, and prepare the corridors for testing and potential early high-speed rail operations. 4. Continue Bookend Investment in Southern and Northern California: The draft business plan continues to prioritize improving Los Angeles Union Station, the Burbank to Anaheim corridor and the electrification of the Caltrain corridor in the Bay Area. The draft business plan transparently identifies the project’s challenges, which include longer schedules and higher costs due in large part to inflation, increased contingencies and construction delays in the Central Valley. Although high-speed rail continues to face many challenges—major progress has been made on many fronts, including: 20 active construction sites with thousands of Californians working along 119 miles in the Central Valley Completion of three structures Hundreds of businesses planning, designing and building the system—including small businesses, disadvantaged businesses and disabled veteran businesses—with more than 1,700 craft laborers dispatched to work on Central Valley construction projects. The positive economic benefits from the program are tremendous, including $6 billion in total economic activity in California to date. Once operational, high-speed rail will breathe new life into local economies by encouraging the movements of residents and visitors between the major regions of the state like never before, while at the same time, protecting California’s environment. With the release of the draft business plan, the Authority is now seeking public comment as part of a 60- day public comment period that starts March 9 and closes May 7, 2018. The Authority is providing the following options for submitting comments: Online comment form through the Draft 2018 Business Plan website at: http://hsr.ca.gov/About/Business_Plans/Draft_2018_Business_Plan_Comments.html By email at: 2018businessplancomments@hsr.ca.gov By U.S. mail to the Authority: California High-Speed Rail Authority Attn: Draft 2018 Business Plan 770 L Street, Suite 620 MS-1 Sacramento, CA 95814 Voicemail comment at: (916) 384-9516 The 2018 Business Plan will be adopted by the Authority’s Board of Directors at its meeting in San Jose in May.

These documents outline a comprehensive program of technical and policy work that staff will undertake over the coming year. The Business Plan is Caltrain’s first planning effort of this kind. The Business Plan has been scoped to include long-range demand modeling, and service and infrastructure planning, as well as organizational analysis and an assessment of Caltrain’s interface with the communities it traverses. 3 Staff has developed an approach to deliver the Business Plan that relies on a partnership with Stanford University as well as financial support from multiple public sources. This approach and associated funding plan will be described in more detail in a brief presentation by staff as part of the April Caltrain Business Plan Project Update. 4/24/2018 1 Local Policy Maker

Shortly thereafter, Congress enacted the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), requiring all class 1 freight and commuter railroads to implement Positive Train Control Systems (PTC). PTC is a term created by the Federal Railroad Administration to describe an advanced technology train collision/train derailment avoidance system. A PTC system uses advanced technology and safety critical predictive enforcement to automatically engage the brakes and stop a train in advance of (1) potential train to train collision, (2) train over-speed, (3) unauthorized entry into a track work zone, and (4) movement through a misaligned switch. In response to the RSIA, and after a lengthy competitive process, on October 6, 2011 the JPB awarded Contract 10-PCJPB-T-021 to Parsons Transportation Group to implement the JPB's PTC system. At the time the contract was awarded, PTC technology was still in its infancy. Parsons offered a General Electric ITCS solution that had been successfully deployed on both domestic and foreign passenger railroads. This product was determined to meet all of the JPB's performance requirements as well as the basic requirements of the federal PTC mandate. At the time, the freight railroads were implementing PTC through a system designed by Wabtec, which was the second highest ranked proposer to the JPB's RFP. The JPB did not select Wabtec, at least in part, because at that time, its passenger rail functionality was not well developed. Over the last five years, Wabtec has matured its technology such that this is no longer the case—in fact multiple commuter rail operators are implementing PTC with a Wabtec-based solution. Currently, Wabtec’s project list includes more than 15 passenger rail clients including Metrolink (LA), Coaster (San Diego), ACE, Capitol Corridor in California. Effective February 22, 2017, the JPB terminated its contract with Parsons Transportation Group (Parsons) for nonperformance. This termination followed many months of delay and Parsons' repeated failure to cure its deficient performance. The impacts of termination on the JPB's efforts to keep the PTC program moving forward in 2017 have been documented in reports to the Caltrain Board over the last year. Since termination, the JPB has acted with urgency to 1) implement the most appropriate PTC solution from a financial and technology perspective; 2) ensure compliance with the federal mandate to implement PTC; and 3) minimize its damages resulting from Parsons' termination. The JPB project team has engaged in the following activities in furtherance of these goals: 2 • JPB has worked with all stakeholders and with representatives of the FRA to ensure that the JPB's plans for implementation of PTC meet all regulatory and technical requirements such that the JPB's PTC system will meet all safety requirements. In particular, JPB’s Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Rail recently met with the FRA Administrator to ensure that the JPB’s plans for implementing PTC are in accordance with FRA requirements. • JPB has pursued every reasonable opportunity to craft a solution by which Parsons could complete the project, both prior to and following termination. This option has proven unsuccessful and the JPB and Parsons are now in litigation against each other. • JPB has explored all other opportunities deemed feasible and available with other potential contractors to complete the PTC project by replacing Parsons and utilizing the same technologies as Parsons proposed using. These opportunities have proven unavailing as the technologies used by Parsons, in particular that of the key subcontractor Alstom, are unavailable to the JPB at pricing and commercial terms that are fair and reasonable. • JPB has pursued all available opportunities to bring Parsons' key subcontractor, Alstom, under direct contract with the JPB to complete its work. These opportunities have proven unavailing as Alstom has placed contractual conditions on any agreement that are not feasible or practical, and has demanded a prohibitively unreasonable price. • JPB has revisited the original procurement process that led to the contract award to Parsons, soliciting proposals from the other original Proposers, in particular Wabtec, which was the second-highest ranked proposer in the original competitive solicitation. • JPB has conducted an extensive analysis of the scope of work necessary to complete the project. This scope of work was shared with several potential candidates invited to submit proposals to complete the work as prime contractor. Many potential firms were unwilling or unable to submit proposals to complete the work. • JPB has evaluated other commuter railroad's methodologies for implementing PTC to determine what alternate technologies are available that satisfy JPB’s needs. As a result of the above efforts, the JPB project team has determined that at this time the I-ETMS technology developed by Wabtec is the most viable alternative for the JPB's PTC project. • I-ETMS is now used widely by passenger and commuter rail operators and has developed in ways that benefit denser passenger rail operation not available at the time the original contract was awarded in 2011. • I-ETMS now supports train type characteristics, grade crossing activation/inhibit, schedule adherence and (eventually) vital certification to suit the JPBs needs • I-ETMS allows for the most cost efficient and technically manageable process for achieving interoperability with other railroads that share operations with the JPB • I-ETMS will be easier and more cost effective to maintain in the long term than any other technology particularly given the commercial agreement with the Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR). In sum, not only is the I-ETMS system the best- indeed likely the only—technology that can be implemented in time to meet the federal deadline, it is the most cost-effective. Importantly, the cost of completing the JPB’s PTC system with I-ETMS technology will likely result in considerable long-term savings over any other technology from a maintenance perspective. This is because the JPB will benefit 3 from industry-wide support and from interoperability efficiencies that would not exist with other technology. Both from a short term and long term perspective, I-ETMS technology is best suited for the JPB’s service. From a contracting and procurement perspective, Wabtec is uniquely situated as the only contractor that is able to provide its proprietary I-ETMS system and implement the JPB's PTC system on a practical schedule and at a reasonable price. FTA regulations and JPB policy acknowledge that under certain circumstances, a contract may be awarded without full and open competition. In this unique situation there is no benefit or need to conduct any additional competitive process for a number of reasons. • First, Wabtec was the second highest ranked proposer in the original RFP. That original RFP, combined with the extensive outreach efforts by the JPB in recent months to elicit proposals from other firms involved in the original RFP, as well as additional firms, indicates that the JPB has already engaged in adequate competition such that a more formal RFP process is neither required by FTA rules nor beneficial under the circumstances present here. • Second, there is unusual and compelling urgency to complete the PTC project. Over and above the federal mandate, the JPB is committed to implementing PTC as soon as possible to improve safety for its commuter rail service. Under FTA rules, this urgency alone justifies an immediate award to Wabtec, especially given the extensive outreach efforts already conducted by the JPB to formulate an effective and completion strategy and the delays caused by Parsons' failure to perform and ultimate contract termination. • Third, Wabtec's proprietary technology (I-ETMS) makes it uniquely qualified to implement the JPB's PTC system. As discussed above, for commercial and legal reasons the JPB is unable to complete its PTC system with the Alstom technology originally included in the system that Parsons was unable to deliver. I-ETMS is a proven technology, already approved by the FRA for use in PTC systems. • Fourth in order to operate its service on the portion of the railroad owned by the Union Pacific Railroad (San Jose to Gilroy), the JPB must, for contractual reasons pursuant to a recent agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad, install a Wabtec I-ETMS system on its locomotives operating on the Union Pacific's territory. Were the JPB to use a different technology on part of its territory, there would be inevitable additional interoperability challenges. Implementing a Wabtec system on the JPB's entire service will also avoid additional and unnecessary time and expense associated with multiple contractors installing different technologies on different portions of the JPB's service. FTA regulations allow a non-competitive procurement process for a follow-on contract for continued development or production of highly specialized equipment, in particular when awarding to another contractor would result in substantial duplication or unacceptable delay. Such is the case here. The JPB will also save on future maintenance costs as it will only have to maintain a single on-board system. In sum, there are compelling reasons why it is in the public interest for the JPB to award this contract to complete the JPB's PTC system to Wabtec without further competition. The JPB must comply with the federal mandate to implement PTC by the end of 2018. Awarding to any contractor other than Wabtec will require additional time and unnecessary expense. Awarding to any contractor other than Wabtec will present inevitable conflicts with regard to patent and other intellectual property rights, which in turn could prevent a seamless implementation of an interoperable PTC system on both the JPB's and the UPRR’s rail corridors. FTA rules recognize a public interest exemption to the ordinary rules for a competitive procurement. That public interest exception assuredly applies here. 4 At the March 2018, Caltrain Board meeting, the Board approved the award of contract to Wabtec railway electronics to implement this safety-critical project in a manner that complies with federal law. 1 Caltrain PTC Program Status & Wabtec Contract Award Local Policy Maker Group April 26, 2018 Discussion •Program timeline •PTC program and industry status •Contracting objectives and strategy •Path forward and Wabtec •Funding •Next Steps 2 2 Timeline Date Action Pre-2008 Caltrain began development Communications Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS) Positive Train Control (PTC) 2008 Rail Safety Improvement Act, Federal Mandate PTC 2011 Contract with PTG •$239M Budget ($159M for PTG contract) •Original in-service date October 2015 2016 Peer review, multiple partnering efforts 2017 (Feb.)

This revised report will be available to the new rail consultant team as they conduct their analysis of grade separation alternatives. No Committee action is requested. Executive Summary The initial rail program consultant prepared a draft traffic circulation study to assess traffic conditions along the rail corridor with and without various grade separations. The draft study was provided to the Rail Committee and the public in late 2017 and staff received a number of comments and questions which have been addressed in the attached, revised report. The report, now referred to as a “white paper” will be available to the new rail consultant for their use as they conduct their analysis of grade separation alternatives. This white paper supplements other white papers on (1) trenching and tunneling; and (2) local financing. Background and Discussion The initial Rail Program Consultant was charged with completing a high-level circulation study. This study included the following components: 1.Data assembly and review (complete) 2.Research existing documents (complete) 3.Collect and examine multimodal traffic counts (complete) 4.Validate base year in the regional and local travel demand models and adjust models to account for increased rail service along the corridor (underway) 5.Collate and review any relevant development proposals within the study area (underway) 6.Model future traffic conditions under up to eight scenarios to include: a.No build scenario with current rail corridor service b.No build scenario with increased rail corridor service (CalMod and HSR) c.Build scenario 1 d.Build scenario 2 e.Build scenario 3 f.Build scenario 4 g.Build scenario 5 City of Palo Alto Page 2 h. Build scenario 6 7. Conduct field observations on travel behavioral patterns 8. Assess the record of collision occurrences at the rail crossings and surrounding areas 9. Analyze grade crossing hazards and gate downtime 10. Quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate up to eight scenarios, using the following performance measures: a. Total vehicle miles travelled b. Total vehicle hours consumed c. Average trip length, trip duration time and highway network speed d. Changes in modal choice e. Total travel user benefits and collision savings benefits over a 20-year period f. Motor vehicle level of service by intersection g. LOS by movement at intersections h. Changes in specific origin-destination journey times i. Delays to transit services j. Delays to pedestrians and bicycles k. Motor vehicle queue lengths at intersections l. Delays at individual intersections by movement The intent of the Rail Corridor Circulation Study was to estimate the effect on traffic circulation under up to eight different scenarios that were modeled using the regional and local travel demand model. These scenarios included several variations of grade crossings and grade separations at each railroad corridor crossing location. The first two scenarios did not include any new grade crossings, new grade separations or modifications to existing crossings, and were considered “no build” scenarios. The other six scenarios included varying collections of new multi-modal grade-separated crossings, new bicycle and pedestrian only grade-separated crossings, new grade separations, modified grade crossings, and closed grade crossings. The analysis of scenarios was intended to inform the selection of grade separations alternatives for more in depth study and evaluation. Scenarios that were not included in the initial study may still emerge via the community process and those that were for study selected were chosen in part for their ability to inform the development of grade separation alternatives, including their physical attributes and phasing. Please also note that where the circulation study assumes grade separations, it does not differentiate between the type of separation (underground, above ground, etc.). This is due to the nature of the study and means that additional circulation analysis will likely be needed for grade separation alternatives that emerge through the community process if, for example, the type of separation results in local street closures in the vicinity. . At a high level, the study considers the impacts of potential future modifications to the current at-grade and grade-separated crossings and its findings are intuitive. To construct a grade separation where currently there is an existing at-grade crossing clearly reduces the interference or obstruction caused by that crossing and therefore improves east/west access/capacity at that location. That may or may not attract additional traffic to that crossing. Similarly, closing (i.e. eliminating) an existing at-grade crossing will cause traffic to divert to other routes. The intent of this study is to estimate changes to motor City of Palo Alto Page 3 vehicle and bicycle traffic circulation/demands with changes in accessibility/capacity caused by railroad crossing-related infrastructure improvement scenarios. To the extent that it is possible with the demand models, an order-of-magnitude quantification of those changes is described. Even if no changes or modifications are made to the existing rail crossings, increases in traffic demands driven by land use and population growth would occur between existing and future (2030) conditions. Motor vehicle traffic is forecast to grow at a little over 1% per year. The Caltrain service modifications, made possible by the electrification, are likely to double the number of trains in the peak periods compared to now, when they are implemented. There is also the potential for having high-speed rail services on this line, in addition to Caltrain. The combination of the increased frequency of gate closures at the crossings and increased traffic flows will undoubtedly increase road congestion from what it is now. Two types of Year 2030 “No Build” scenarios were defined in the study. A Year 2030 “Business as Usual” scenario was first developed that includes growth in traffic between current and Year 2030 conditions while assuming no change to existing rail service frequencies, and no change in existing roadway circulation conditions. Included in the Circulation Study tests, is another Year 2030 “No Build” scenario where both the increased train frequencies and increased traffic growth (between existing and year 2030) are simulated within the demand models, while assuming no future construction occurs. The second No Build scenario forms the ‘baseline’ from which comparisons against the scenario tests are made. Finally, conclusions are drawn from the series of “sensitivity” tests carried out for sample scenarios. It is important to note what is forecast to happen if nothing is done to improve the crossings and not only whether diversions will occur under various scenarios of infrastructure changes, but whether their impact is likely to be significant or not. On June 28, 2017, a staff report was presented to the City Council Rail Committee entitled “Draft Rail Program Circulation Study Scenarios.” In this Staff Report, six (6) different scenarios were recommended for study that were intended to support the identification and evaluation of grade separation alternatives. On November 29, 2017, the draft Rail Corridor Circulation Study White Paper, containing the outcomes of those studies, was presented to the City Council Rail Committee. As a result, the City Council Rail Committee requested the following modifications to the White Paper: Fix the analysis of closing Churchill Avenue Add a scenario including closures of the four at-grade crossings Evaluate modeling a closure at Palo Alto Avenue Utilize Stanford General Use Permit (GUP) data Continue the bicycle and pedestrian discussion to a future meeting Develop a seventh scenario including: o Separation of the existing four at-grade crossing o Updated data including Stanford GUP data o Updated Churchill Avenue data Develop an eight scenario with the only change being closing Churchill Avenue. City of Palo Alto Page 4 The attached revised white paper includes the following modifications in response to the Committee review and public comments/questions: White paper was combined with the Existing Conditions and the Model Validation reports into one document with a new Executive Summary; Responses to comments from the public were incorporated into the model update, additional model runs, and revised white paper; Model loading and validation issues at Churchill Avenue and Palo Alto Avenue were fixed; Data from Stanford GUP Application traffic study was incorporated; New traffic counts (November 2017) replaced the February 2017 counts, which were done during a non-standard school week; The City’s CUBE model was refined to better fit the latest traffic count data using the MEOD process within the CUBE suite of computer programs (the refined model shows a much better degree of fit to counted traffic volumes at key intersections along Alma Street); and Carried out an operational (Synchro) analysis with the November 2017 traffic data set, which showed that with that data set there was a slight deterioration in the intersection levels-of- service for less than one third of the intersections, as compared the analyses using the February 2017 traffic data set. The following modifications were not completed at this time, but can be incorporated into future studies if/as desired: Run all six (6) scenarios again with validated model and new data; Run new Scenario 7 with existing conditions plus Churchill Avenue crossing closed to motor vehicles; or Run new Scenario 8 with all at-grade crossings separated, including Churchill Avenue. Like the other white papers we’ve prepared about local financing methods and trenching/tunneling issues, this white paper is intended to support community discussions and City Council deliberations about rail grade separation alternatives and will be supplemented with additional in-depth analysis when four to eight grade-separation alternatives are advanced to the alternatives analysis phase of the process. The high-level conclusions in the Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study White Paper are similar to those of the draft paper. As this study represents a very high-level analysis, it is not anticipated that any of the conclusions drawn from the draft paper would change if/when the validated model and the November 2017 traffic count data were to be used for Year 2030 model runs. Timeline The initial Rail Corridor Circulation Study model runs are complete and the draft paper has been revised to reflect many of the comments received from the Rail Committee and the public. Additional model runs are anticipated as part of the in depth analysis of alternatives selected for further study. Resource Impact Funding for the Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study is included in the Fiscal Year 2018 Adopted Capital Budget in CIP PL-17001, Railroad Grade Separation. Policy Implications City of Palo Alto Page 5 The Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals, policies and programs: Program T1.19.3 Increase the number of east-west pedestrian and bicycle crossings across Alma Street and the Caltrain corridor, particularly south of Oregon Expressway. Policy T-3.13 Work with Caltrans, Santa Clara County and VTA to improve east and west connections in Palo Alto and maintain a circulation network that binds the city together in all directions. Policy T-3.15 Pursue grade separation of rail crossings along the rail corridor as a City priority. Program T3.15.1 Undertake studies and outreach necessary to advance grade of Caltrain to become a “shovel ready” project and strongly advocate for adequate State, regional and federal funding for design and construction of railroad grade separations. Program T3.15.2 Conduct a study to evaluate the implications of grade separation on bicycle and pedestrian circulation. Policy T-3.16 Keep existing at-grade rail crossings open to motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, consistent with results of a focused circulation study and a context sensitive alternatives analysis. Policy T-3.17 Until grade separation is completed, improve existing at-grade rail crossings to ensure the highest feasible level of safety along the corridor and provide additional safe, convenient crossings. Program T3.17.1 Complete a Palo Alto Avenue crossing study to identify potential near-term safety and accessibility improvements. Program T3.17.2 Work with Caltrain to ensure that the rail tracks are safe and secure with adequate fencing and barriers. Policy T-4.1 Keep all neighborhood streets open as a general rule. Policy T-4.3 Identify specific improvements that can be used to discourage drivers from using local, neighborhood streets to bypass traffic congestion on arterials. Environmental Review The Rail Corridor Circulation Study is a planning study and thus is not a “project” requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The report covers three (3) major elements: Existing Conditions; the Travel Demand Model that was used for a large part of the analyses, and the outcomes of six (6) sample scenarios of possible alternative combinations of treatments and infrastructure proposals for the Caltrain crossings. The study area is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Study Area Map The Existing Conditions section of the report includes a description of the Study Area which encompasses the Northwest/Southeast Caltrain corridor through the City of Palo Alto, and is approximately four (4) miles in length. The focus of the report is the half-mile area centered around the rail corridor with specific consideration of the four (4) existing at-grade crossings – Palo Alto Avenue; Churchill Avenue; Meadow Drive and Charleston Road. There are three (3) Caltrain Stations within the city -- Palo Alto; California Avenue and Stanford; the latter being an events- related station only. The major arterial that runs parallel to the rail line is Alma Street. There are also (4) four motor vehicle grade-separated crossings. These are University Avenue; Embarcadero; Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Road; the latter only being partially in the City of Palo Alto. Major Northwest/Southeast routes through the city and parallel to the Caltrain tracks include U.S. Highway 101; Interstate 280 and El Camino Real. In terms of commute percentage modes, the City of Palo Alto has over 15 percent (%) less car use and over 10 percent (%) more bicycle and pedestrian use than Santa Clara County. It is forecast DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 2 that the current bicycle use which was at 9.2 percent (%) of all modes in 2015, will rise to 15 percent (%) by 2020. The Existing Conditions report also describes the Policy Framework; Caltrain and other transit Operations; road traffic operations and safety; land use demographics and bicycle and pedestrian networks. The Caltrain two-way service currently peaks at 10 trains per hour through the city. For the four (4) hour peak periods however, the average is approximately six (6) for the AM and seven (7) for the PM. The worst congestion is caused when the highest peak traffic flows coincide with the highest frequency of rail-gate closures. Peak occurrences of both conditions do not necessarily coincide at the at-grade crossings either by time or location, and are spread over the peak periods. To capture all the impacts, the Demand Model uses an average hour for each of the four (4) hour peak periods, AM and PM. The overall current traffic conditions for the rail crossings average to a level-of-service E, with Palo Alto Avenue and Charleston Road reaching a level-of-service F in the PM peak hour. For the times in the peak hours when the traffic signals cycle do not include a rail-gate closure, the level-of-service of the crossing routes intersecting with Alma Street range from C-D. The Travel Demand Model Validation section of the report deals with the methodology employed for the traffic impact appraisals within the circulation studies. There are two (2) parts to the appraisal process. The first part estimates the likely impacts on road traffic behavior generated by the various alternative sample scenarios in terms of growth in demand and the route diversion effects. The second part carries out a more detailed assessment of the traffic operational issues at the individual road intersections involved. In combination, these two (2) types of appraisals can provide a comprehensive measure of the impacts of alternative layouts and treatments of the Caltrain crossing facilities. A Demand Model, the City’s own CUBE travel demand model, was the basis of the analyses. The process, therefore, has compatibility with other similar exercises, such as evaluating the transportation elements of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The first step in the process is to carry out a validation of the base model against observations. This is a way of assessing how the model can be used most beneficially. The City’s model is very large, covering the Peninsula and parts of the Bay area. Large models, unless used in special locations (such as rural areas with sparse road networks) are seldom reliable for traffic volume estimates at individual street level or for intersection turning movements. The validation process is not a “pass or fail” exercise; it is done to allow a judgment on how the model may be best used in the appraisal. Model validations showed that the City’s base model could not be used alone for the full appraisal. For the forecasts, the process used a combination of the model forecasts and the traffic count data to estimate future traffic volumes. A second model was subsequently calibrated to local count data along the Caltrain corridor in the City. This second model process used count data from the most recent survey carried out in November 2017, and data from the Stanford General Use Permit application. The volumes and local distribution of the trips within the base model were refined to reflect the local traffic conditions as quantified by the traffic surveys. A second validation was then carried out that showed a better fit for the second model. However, further use of the latest model did not proceed and the results contained in this white paper for forecasts rely on the original model. This model and the process used for forecasting are perfectly adequate for the analysis at this stage. The updated model may be used for a more locally focused analysis at a later stage in the project. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 3 The model was then used to estimate the impacts of the 2030 future year “No Build 1 and 2” conditions and six (6) separate sample scenarios. The method used does not rely on the CUBE Model alone, but combines the forecasts with the locally counted data. This method is called “the Difference Method” and is fully described in Section 6.3 of the “National Cooperative Highway Research Program – Report 765: Analytical Travel Forecasting Approaches for Project-Level Planning and Design.” It is an industry standard method and has been used throughout the San Francisco/San Jose region. The initial modeling used traffic count data from February 2017. A second set of traffic count data was collected in November 2017 as a verification process. This second data set showed a slightly higher traffic volume for some of the movements. An existing year analysis was carried out to measure the changes between the two (2) data sets. It was found to be marginal only. The conclusions within the report rely on the February 2017 traffic count data and the original travel demand model. It is not considered that using the second model and the November 2017 data set for traffic counts would significantly alter the conclusion. This appraisal was not intended to select any one layout of alternative treatments of the Caltrain crossings. It was intended to provide decision makers with an informational background as to the likely impacts of selecting a “short list” of scenarios for a more detailed analysis. It is essentially a high-level planning study. The six (6) sample scenarios are a “generic” selection from an almost infinite number of possibilities. They range from almost a complete closure of all the at-grade crossing points (minimum access) to a scenario where every at-grade crossing is grade separated apart from Churchill Avenue (maximum access). In all 2030 tests described (As “No Build 2” and Sample Scenarios 1-6), the train/gate closure frequency was assumed to be 20/hour for the total of two- way operations. The appraisal showed that although six (6) scenarios is only a fraction of the vast number of possible combinations and permutations that exist for different layouts of crossings in the City, the tests completed provide a reasonable picture of the likely outcomes of making different decisions on the rail-crossing layouts. In general, the outcomes of the tests are intuitive. As traffic demand grows and the capacity of the at-grade crossings reduce due to increased rail gate closures, those crossings that remain at grade shed traffic to either the existing grade-separated crossings or any that will be newly constructed as grade separated. If grade-separated crossings were to be constructed at a location where there was previously an at-grade crossing, then some traffic would be attracted to that route from other routes, including from existing grade-separated crossings. The extent to which this may happen in terms of additional traffic volumes varies. Charleston Road is particularly likely to experience significant additional traffic attraction, if it is grade separated. This is unsurprising as Charleston Road, together with Arastradero Road, form one of the few easy connecting routes between the I-280 and U.S. Highway 101. The minimum access scenario test is likely to divert out of the City the 15 percent (%) growth in traffic demand from 2017 to 2030, diverting the remaining traffic from the routes that are closed to those that are grade separated. The maximum access test (Sample Scenario 6) showed that an additional 5-plus percent (%) of traffic crossing the Caltrain tracks in the City was likely to be attracted over and above the “No Build 2” scenario. The table below was constructed to provide a summary assessment of the likely DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 4 effects of the different proposals for the at-grade treatments derived from the results of the model analyses. Table 1: Response of the at-grade intersections to change Remain at-grade Closed Grade-separated Palo Alto Avenue / Alma Street Little effect Sheds traffic to Ravenswood Avenue and University Avenue Significantly increases traffic flows. (~30%) Churchill Avenue Little effect Diversion to Embarcadero Road, which if widened could operate satisfactorily. It is suspected that there would be little effect on other grade crossings, if other separations are implemented. Could attract some traffic . E/W Meadow Drive As traffic grows, will shed to Oregon Expressway and Charleston Road (if grade separated). Diversion to Charleston Road; significant if Charleston Road is grade- separated. Significantly increases traffic flows. (~50%) Charleston Road As traffic grows, will shed to San Antonio Road. Not tested but likely to either shed significant traffic to San Antonio Road or reduce traffic overall. Significant increases to traffic flows (50+%). Some diverts from San Antonio Road. Note: If the Caltrain tracks were to be in tunnel or entrenched throughout the City, the responses would be similar to all four (4) at-grade intersections becoming grade separated. The second part of the appraisal of the sample scenarios was to carry out traffic operational analyses at the key individual intersections within the Caltrain rail corridor. In total, 13 intersections were analyzed, between two (2) and four (4) on each of the currently at- grade crossing routes. The 2030 forecast flows were estimated by the addition of the February 2017 traffic survey counts and the growth forecast by the Demand Model. A comparison of the February 2017 and November 2017 analyses for existing conditions show very little change in the outcomes. Almost seventy-five percent (75%) showed the same level-of- service and of those that did change, in almost every case only a deterioration of one (1) level resulted. This means that although at a detailed level there could be a slight underestimation of the severity of congestion in less than one third of cases, the overall picture remains the same irrespective of which traffic count data set is used. The operational analyses were carried out under two (2) future conditions at the intersections: First, when there were rail gate closures in some of the traffic signal cycles (for an overall average condition) and second, when no gate closures were assumed to be in the signal cycle. For the first condition, the levels-of-service were only estimated at the actual crossings for a “No Build 2” scenario (e.g., if no infrastructure changes were made to any of the crossings but the train/gate closure frequency grew to 20 per hour). The average condition at the at-grade crossings for both peak hours (AM and PM) would be level-of-service F. It is estimated that the queues for many of the movements would be unclearable, a condition where a greater volume of traffic joins the queue than is released through the intersections for a given traffic signal cycle. The queue accumulates with time until either the traffic demand and/or the frequency of the rail gate closure reduces and the operational capacity is increased. Condition Location DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 5 The second part of the analyses was to assess operating conditions at the intersections, without assuming a rail gate closure occurred in the traffic signal cycle. This showed that where a grade- separated intersection was assumed constructed, resulting in an increase in traffic demand, the level-of-service for all the intersections on that route would deteriorate. For those crossing routes that remain at-grade, it is likely that the intersections will operate at level- of-service F for the times when there is a rail gate-closure. However, that may also have the effect of discouraging drivers from using that route. This would mean the level-of-service may improve for the times when no gate closure occurred. Train frequencies of 20 per hour in peak periods by 2030 substantially increases the likelihood of a traffic signal cycle that includes a gate closure. Due to the random nature of both traffic demand intensity and rail gate closures, very serious delays and traffic disruptions are likely to occur. For those routes that do have future grade separations, where none exists today, increased traffic flows are likely to occur and thus the level-of-service at the intersections, if unmodified, on that route may deteriorate. A variety of bicycle and pedestrian measures were tested within the sample scenarios. Two (2) grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian-only facilities currently exist at Homer Avenue and California Avenue. Future potential grade separated bicycle/pedestrian-only crossings were tested at Everett Avenue/Lytton Avenue; Churchill Avenue (close proximity to); Loma Verde Avenue/Arastradero Creek and Meadow Drive (close proximity to). Accessibility mapping was used to measure the impact for the different layout configurations in the sample scenarios. The results showed that where an existing at-grade crossing is assumed closed to all modes, then the bicycle/pedestrian accessibility across the Caltrain tracks would be seriously reduced. Currently, there is a significant gap between Oregon Expressway and Meadow Drive. If all the proposed bicycle/pedestrian grade-separations are implemented (whether as an all mode facility or just for bicycles and pedestrians) then the level of accessibility across the Caltrain track would be very high. In terms of Road Safety, between 2011 and 2015, a total of 88 accident collisions were recorded of which 32 involved injury and one (1) fatality. Although it may depend on the actual designs of improvements to the at-grade crossings, new construction is likely to reduce this considerably.

Passenger rail service changes will be a result of the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) and potentially the California High-Speed Rail (HSR) project. The City of Palo Alto is bisected by the Caltrain rail corridor and enjoys both the benefits as well as the impacts associated with rail service: train noise and vibration, traffic congestion around grade crossings, and community safety concerns. These impacts are expected to grow as train service in the corridor increases regardless of whether or not the state’s HSR project comes to fruition. As a result, the City is conducting a study to assess grade separation alternatives and minimize the impact of increased rail services on local traffic, the basis of which is referred to as the “Rail Program” throughout this document. In 2010, the City Council initiated the Palo Alto Rail Corridor Study to evaluate land use, transportation, and urban design elements of the rail corridor, particularly in response to potential improvements to passenger rail service on the Caltrain corridor. The study report, as a result of a two-year process, includes an analysis of those elements and their potential impacts from the range of possible rail improvements, including Caltrain upgrades, such as electrification and/or grade separations, and/or the potential options for the HSR project1. In early 2014, the City conducted a study for conceptual grade separation alternatives for a portion of the Caltrain right-of-way encompassing three existing at-grade crossings: Charleston Road, Meadow Drive, and Churchill Avenue2. This study provided preliminary information on the potential impacts and costs of construction (by order of magnitude) for various roadway depression and trenching of the railroad alternatives. A railroad trench alternative would place the railroad tracks and rail operations below street-level, thus separating train traffic from motor vehicles, pedestrian, and bicyclist activity at the street-level. The study was not definitive in determining an ultimate configuration, but provided a starting point for dialogue on the issue, and indicated that roadway depression alternatives would require significant property acquisitions, while trenching alternatives would not. The study also concluded that while not all of the roadway depressions could maintain turning movements along Alma Street, the trenching alternatives could do so. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Existing Conditions report is to examine the current conditions relevant to the Palo Alto Rail Corridor Circulation Study. This report includes sections on the policy framework for the Palo Alto Rail Program, overview of the study area, bike and pedestrian access, transportation networks, traffic conditions, and existing transit services in the City. 1 Palo Alto Rail Corridor Study, 2013 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/38025 2 Palo Alto Grade Separation and Trenching Study, 2014 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/44211 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 8 2 Policy Framework The City of Palo Alto is the lead agency for the Rail Program, and as such this section summarizes City policies that govern the Rail Corridor Circulation Study. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the Circulation Study is consistent with existing and planned future transportation and development policies and strategies. 2.1 Palo Alto Policies The Circulation Study process builds upon the City’s previous planning efforts to accommodate future transit growth along the existing Caltrain corridor, brought about by the California High- Speed Rail (HSR) project, the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP), and the growing population of the San Francisco Bay Area. Existing plans, policies, and guidelines set the foundation for the corridor planning process and the development of an implementable document. Key City documents include the Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan, the Palo Alto Climate Protection Plan, the City of Palo Alto Municipal Code, the Rail Corridor Study, and the Transportation Element of the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. The Rail Corridor Study was developed by the Rail Corridor Task Force to generate a community vision for land use, transportation, and urban design opportunities along the Caltrain corridor. This policy document was incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan in 2013 and provides land use and transportation policies under a variety of scenarios. It is the intention of this study to build on the outcomes of the Rail Corridor Study. 2.1.1 Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan – Transportation Element The City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan was last revised in 2007 and is currently in the process of being updated. It is the primary document guiding the City’s planning decisions. The Transportation Element of the existing Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan includes 10 goals to guide the development of the City’s transportation programs and facilities (see Table 2-1). A total of 57 policies and 58 programs are identified in the current Comprehensive Plan’s transportation chapter to further focus and carry out these goals. Table 2-1: Summary of Transportation Goals from Comprehensive Plan Goal Number Transportation Goals Goal T-1 Less reliance on Single-Occupant Vehicles Goal T-2 A convenient, efficient public transit system that provides a viable alternative to driving Goal T-3 Facilities, services, and programs that encourage and promote walking and bicycling Goal T-4 An efficient roadway network for all users Goal T-5 A transportation system with minimal impact on residential neighbourhoods Goal T-6 A high level of safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists on Palo Alto Streets Goal T-7 Mobility for people with special needs Goal T-8 Attractive, convenient public and private parking facilities Goal T-9 An influential role in shaping and implementing regional transportation decisions Goal T-10 A local airport with minimal off-site impacts Source: City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan 2007 The updated plan, Our Palo Alto 2030 Comprehensive Plan, will carry over and update the current plan’s transportation goals and include an emphasis on reducing congestion. Related to DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 9 this study, the new Comprehensive Plan will include a policy supporting Caltrain modernization and a policy identifying grade separations as a city priority. Figure 2-1: City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan – Bikeways in Palo Alto Source : City of Palo Alto, Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element Draft 2017 2.1.2 Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan The Palo Alto 2012 Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP 2012) was adopted in July 2012 and builds upon the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan by adding coverage of pedestrian issues, priorities, and design standards. The BPTP 2012 contains the policy vision, design guidance, and specific recommendations to increase walking and biking rates over the next decade and beyond – rates that will be instrumental in helping to address the impacts of regional growth while maintaining mobility. Objective One in the BPTP 2012 aims to “double the rate of bicycling for both local and total work commutes by 2020 (to 15 percent and 5 percent, respectively.)” This objective supports Goals T-1 and T-3 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Objective Four, which aims to “plan, construct, and maintain ‘Complete Streets’ that are safe and accessible to all modes and people of all ages and abilities,” supports and expands Goal T- 3 of the City’s current Comprehensive Plan. 2.1.3 Palo Alto Climate Protection Plan The City of Palo Alto adopted a Climate Protection Plan (CPP) in December 2007. The City then updated the mid-term and long-term Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals for both municipal and community-wide GHG emissions in 2010. Overall GHG emissions in 2013 within the City were estimated to have decreased 29 percent from 2005 levels, which exceeds the City’s goal of 15 percent reduction below 2005 levels by 2020. The CPP contains a range of goals and actions that target GHG emissions reductions from the transportation sector, including measures to promote alternative fuels, facilitate increased biking and walking, increase mass transit availability, and encourage electronic alternatives to travel. In 2015, the City began the preparation of a Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) and adopted a DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 10 new GHG reduction goal of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, otherwise referred to as the “80x30” goal. 2.1.4 Palo Alto Municipal Code The purpose of the City’s Municipal Code is to protect and promote the public’s health and safety through ordinances and regulations. Title 10 regulates vehicle and traffic operations within the City, including traffic-control devices, pedestrian safety, bicycling safety and routes, and general vehicle and traffic safety. For example, chapter 10.32 establishes pedestrian safety regulations, such as the establishment and appropriate usage of crosswalks. Chapter 10.36 addresses general parking regulations, such as where parking is permitted. 2.1.5 Safe Routes to School The Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Program is a collaborative effort between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD). Its goal is to improve safety for school commuters and to reduce school commute-related congestion on city streets. Approximately 14 percent of Palo Alto’s students walk to school daily, while 4,000 students from the PAUSD bike to school, as shown in Figure 2-2. The program is consistent with key transportation goals outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, including giving priority to facilities, services, and programs that encourage and promote walking and bicycling, and providing a high level of safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Specific policies and programs include3: ● Policy T-14: Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to and between local destinations, including public facilities, schools, parks, open space, employment districts, shopping centers, and multi-modal transit stations. ● Policy T-39: To the extent allowed by law, continue to make safety the first priority of citywide transportation planning. ● Policy T-40: Continue to prioritize the safety and comfort of children on school travel routes. This includes program T-45, which calls for providing adult crossing guards at school crossings that meet adopted criteria, and T-46, which encourages the City-sponsored bicycle education programs in the public schools. The SRTS Program produced 18 Walk and Roll maps that outline suggested bicycle and pedestrian paths around a one-mile radius of a school within PAUSD. Among the 18 Walk and Roll Maps, four maps designate suggested routes that cross two of the four identified at-grade crossings within the Study Area. These four Walk and Roll Maps are: ● Briones Elementary School 3 https://paloaltocityca.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=30&ID=9461&MeetingID=2088 Figure 2-2: Safe Routes to School Statistics Source: City of Palo Alto, Safe Routes to School DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 11 ● Gunn High School ● Hoover Elementary School ● Terman Middle School All four maps for the above schools suggest routes that cross both Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad crossings, and crossing guards are assigned to these locations to help ensure the safety of students and guardians on their routes to school. An example of one of the Walk and Roll maps is shown in Figure 2-3. Figure 2-3: Walk and Roll Map Example – Hoover Elementary School The SRTS Program includes an ongoing, year-round program with both engineering and programmatic elements. A timeline of recently completed and upcoming infrastructure projects, as they relate to the four aforementioned schools, is presented in Table 2-2.

DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 13 3 Study Area The study area is defined as the half-mile area centered around the rail corridor in the City, including the four existing at-grade crossings. The rail corridor in the City spans approximately four miles in length, and includes three train stations: Palo Alto Station, Stanford Station, and California Ave Station. The major arterial that runs parallel to the rail line is Alma Street. There are five existing grade separations in the City, including University Ave, Homer Ave (bike/ pedestrian undercrossing), Embarcadero Road, Oregon Expressway, and California Ave (bike/ pedestrian undercrossing), and a portion of the San Antonio Road separation touches the City boundary as well. The study area map is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1: Study Area Map 3.1 Land Use The existing land uses within the study area are shown in Figure 3-2. The updated Comprehensive Plan will focus on ensuring that public services can adequately serve new housing development and that sufficient land for neighborhood-serving retail uses is preserved. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 14 Figure 3-2: Overall Land Use Map 3.2 Demographics The City of Palo Alto is located in the northwest portion of Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area. The community is largely residential with sizeable employment in the management, business, science, and arts industries. Approximately 65 percent of residents commute to work by driving alone and almost six percent of residents take transit. In comparison, 76 percent of Santa Clara County residents commute by driving alone and less than four percent of residents take transit, as detailed in Table 3-1. The City is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the nation, and this is reflected in the rate of residents who use bicycles as their primary commute mode. Over nine percent of Palo Alto residents commute locally by bicycle currently, and the BPTP 2012 seeks to increase this rate to 15 percent by 2020 under the plan’s Objective One.

An at-grade crossing is an intersection of a roadway or path and a railroad at the same level, as opposed to the railroad crossing over or under via a bridge or tunnel. Information included in the following sections was sourced from the February 2016 Caltrain Grade Crossing Hazards Analysis. 3.3.1 Palo Alto Avenue The Palo Alto Avenue at-grade crossing is the northernmost crossing within the City. Palo Alto Avenue is a minor two-lane collector street that connects El Camino Real (State Route 82) with Alma Street. The Palo Alto Avenue approach is stop-sign controlled at Alma Street, just east of the railroad. Palo Alto Avenue extends northwest of Alma Street as an at-grade crossing over the railroad tracks, and extends west to connect to form a signalized intersection at El Camino Real/Sand Hills Road approximately 300 feet west of the railroad crossing. The Palo Alto segment through the railroad crossing has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and a sidewalk/pedestrian path on the north side of the road. Class II bike lanes are on-street marked bike lanes for the exclusive use of bicycles. Currently, Palo Alto Avenue carried an average weekday traffic volume of approximately 16,200 vehicles and 550 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-2. Table 3-2: Pedestrian and Bicycle Volumes at Palo Alto Avenue Crossing Direction Pedestrians Bicycles Total Weekday Peak Hour / Time Total Weekday Peak Hour / Time Eastbound 152 12 08:00 – 09:00 276 40 17:00 – 18:00 Westbound 147 15 08:00 – 09:00 274 49 08:30 – 09:30 Source: Caltrain Grade Hazard Analysis Final Report, Feb 2016 Land Use The Palo Alto Avenue at-grade crossing is in proximity to a few major landmark destinations within the City, including El Palo Alto, the historic tree and City’s namesake shown in Figure 3-3. To the southwest of the crossing is the mixed-use complex of Stanford Shopping Center, in addition to the El Camino Park. The Palo Alto Transit Center is approximately 2,000 feet away Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-3: Palo Alto Avenue At-Grade Crossing El Palo Alto DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 16 to the south of the crossing, and northeast of the transit center is the major commercial corridor of Downtown Palo Alto along University Avenue. Figure 3-4: Palo Alto Avenue Grade Crossing Land Use 3.3.2 Churchill Avenue Churchill Avenue is an east-west local collector street that provides a connection between El Camino Real (State Route 82) and Embarcadero Road, through Old Palo Alto. The roadway has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks. Within the vicinity of the Churchill Avenue crossing, Churchill Avenue forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop- controlled) at Mariposa Avenue. The Churchill Avenue/Alma Street intersection is an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. In 2015, the City of Palo Alto, Caltrain, Caltrans Rail Division, and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) met to review the Churchill Avenue crossing to determine possible funding of safety improvements through the Federal Section 130 funds. Currently, Churchill Avenue carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 9,200 vehicles and 1,020 bicycles per day Figure 3-5: Churchill Avenue At-Grade Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 17 across the at-grade crossing4. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-3.

Nearby land uses are primarily comprised of low-density residential communities and schools such as Palo Alto High School and the Castilleja School. The Stanford Caltrain Station, is a special station only utilized during Stanford University special events and football games. Access to these platforms is provided through the Embarcadero Road grade separation structure. Figure 3-6: Churchill Avenue Grade Crossing Land Use Map 4 Grade Crossing Hazard Analysis Final Report, Caltrain, 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 18 3.3.3 Meadow Drive The Meadow Drive at-grade crossing is located approximately 1,200 feet north of the Charleston Road arterial at-grade crossing. Meadow Drive is an east-west local street/collector that provides local connection between El Camino Way and Louis Road, through the south-central part of the City. The roadway has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks. Within the vicinity/influence of the Meadow railroad crossing, Meadow Drive forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop-controlled) at Park Boulevard, Wilkie Way, and Ramona Street. The Meadow Drive/Alma Street intersection is an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. Currently, Meadow Drive carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 8,900 vehicles and 900 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing of the railroad. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-4.

Figure 3-7: Meadow Drive At-Grade Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 19 Figure 3-8: Meadow Drive Crossing Land Use Map 3.3.4 Charleston Road Charleston Road is an east- west residential arterial facility through the City, that provides cross-town circulation between the El Camino Real (State Route 82) corridor to the west and the US 101/Rengstorff Avenue interchange to the east. The roadway has a general four-lane cross- section with left-turn channelization at key intersections. Through the crossing of the railroad, Charleston Road has a four-lane undivided section with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides. The crossing is provided with crossing/gate appurtenances and marked for 25 mph speed limit. Within the vicinity/influence of the railroad crossing, Charleston Road forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop-controlled) at Park Boulevard, Wilkie Way and Wright Place. The Charleston Road/Alma Street intersection is Figure 3-9: Charleston Road At-Grade Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 20 an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. In 2013, Charleston Road carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 17,900 vehicles and 240 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing of the railroad5. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-5.

The immediate surrounding area around Charleston Road crossing is predominantly residential, similar to the area surrounding the Meadow Drive railroad crossing. It should be noted that approximately half a mile north from the crossing is the Magical Bridge Playground, Mitchell Park, and the Mitchell Park Library, which could attract traffic from beyond the immediate 5Grade Crossing Hazard Analysis Final Report, Caltrain, 2016 Figure 3-10: Charleston Road Crossing Land Use Map DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 21 surroundings. 3.4 Grade-Separated Crossings There are eight existing or planned grade-separated crossings along the rail corridor within the Study Area. This section describes the existing and future grade-separated crossings and serves to provide context on rail improvements in the corridor to illustrate what has been accomplished to date and what could be done in the future to improve safety and operability. ○ Everett Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ University Avenue – Existing grade separation ○ Homer Avenue – Existing bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ Embarcadero Road – Existing grade separation ○ Seale Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian crossing ○ California Avenue – Existing bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ Oregon Expressway – Existing grade separation ○ Loma Verde Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian crossing ○ San Antonio Road – Existing grade separation DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 22 3.4.1 Everett Avenue The planned grade separation of Everett Avenue would connect Quarry Road (at the north end of the Stanford University campus) with the Bryant Street bicycle boulevard and the Palo Alto Caltrain Station. Everett Avenue is one of 15 priority crossings identified by the Palo Alto Rail Task Force. The Palo Alto 2012 BPTP identified opportunities to improve linkages to services and enhance the bicycle and pedestrian connections. The resulting improvements that were proposed include installing additional traffic circles and wayfinding improvements along Everett Avenue to designate it as a “complete” bicycle boulevard. Bicycle boulevards are signed, shared roadways with low vehicle volume which prioritize convenient and safe bicycle travel through the use of traffic calming strategies. Currently, the lack of a grade-separated crossing somewhat isolates the El Camino Park, shown in Figure 3-11 from the Downtown North neighborhoods in Palo Alto. The nearest railroad crossings are the Palo Alto Avenue grade crossing to the north and the University Avenue grade-separated crossing to the south. By implementing a grade-separated crossing at Everett Avenue, there could be opportunities to provide connections between the Park, the surrounding communities, Stanford University, the Stanford University Medical Center, and the Stanford Shopping Center. Pedestrian and bicycle access will most likely be accomplished through a grade-separated underpass where vehicles would be prohibited. Coordination between the City, Caltrain, Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, and other agencies would be required to implement this project. 3.4.2 University Avenue The existing University Avenue grade-separated crossing allows for vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle connections between the commercial corridor along University Avenue to the Stanford University campus southwest of the rail line. Sidewalks under the tunnel are grade separated from the street to offer more protection to pedestrians and bicycles are permitted in the underpass alongside vehicles. The underpass was constructed in 1936 in response to public safety concerns. The intersection itself, shown in Figure 3-11: Everett Avenue Planned Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-12: University Avenue Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 23 Source: Google Earth 2016 Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-12, is complex due to the convergence of the multi-modal Palo Alto station, El Camino Real, and the gateway to both the university and Downtown Palo Alto. This station is a critical connection for transit vehicles and is served by VTA, SamTrans, and Stanford University Marguerite shuttles. The grade separation caters primarily to vehicular traffic, with four lanes and no Class II bicycle lanes, however there is adequate pedestrian access through the underpass and cyclists are permitted on University Avenue (Figure 3-13 and Figure 3-14). Currently, traffic volumes along University Avenue remain relatively manageable at 19,000 ADT. Opportunities exist to improve the underpass as “gateway” by enhancing wayfinding and placemaking strategies, as well as creating safer bicyclist and pedestrian passage through the underpass. 3.4.3 Homer Avenue Completed in 2005 for $4.1 million, the Homer Avenue underpass (Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16) connects Homer Avenue residential communities to the Embarcadero bike path that runs parallel to the Caltrain tracks. The pedestrian and bicycle underpass is a high- quality and fully accessible crossing. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation is also located west of the crossing, and thus the tunnel was designed with ramp users in mind (shown in Figure 3-17). There are minor opportunities for improvement, including increasing visibility from the tunnel and enhancing the safety of Alma Street crossings.

Its proximity to the Palo Alto High School, the Palo Alto School District, Stanford University, and neighborhood retail center, Town & Country Village, make it a popular route for pedestrian and bicycle traffic during peak hours. Currently, average daily traffic volumes can reach up to 25,000 vehicles per day. While commuters see the benefits of this safe railroad underpass, some pedestrian and vehicle conflicts in the Alma Street interchange remain. At this point, Alma Street transitions from a high-speed arterial to a neighborhood street.

If established, the connection could trigger the implementation of Seale Avenue as a bicycle boulevard and further enhance safe access to the schools and parks along these routes. 3.4.6 California Avenue The California Avenue grade- separated pedestrian/bicycle underpass allows for access under the railroad just northwest of the California Avenue Caltrain Station (Figure 3-20). The existing tunnel is not ADA accessible and the tunnel itself is dark and narrow. Widening the tunnel and improving the tunnel lighting may increase visibility and meet ADA standards while potentially mitigating the risk of bicycle-pedestrian conflicts. 3.4.7 Oregon Expressway The existing Oregon Expressway grade separation, shown in Figure 3-21, allows for vehicular and bicycle crossings under both the railroad and Alma Street. The Oregon Expressway is a high-volume arterial currently carrying an average daily traffic volume of 31,000 vehicles per day, and the Alma Street interchange poses some minor pedestrian and vehicular conflicts. In addition, this particular underpass has been prone to flooding during rainy seasons due to issues with the drainage system. Figure 3-21: Oregon Expressway Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-20: California Ave Bike/Ped Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-19: Seale Ave Proposed Bike/Ped Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 26 Bicycles are permitted to travel through Oregon Expressway, but the fast-moving traffic along Oregon Expressway and the lack of Class II bicycle lanes within the 4- lane underpass may encourage bicyclists to seek an alternate route. 3.4.8 Loma Verde Avenue The planned pedestrian and bicycle underpass at Loma Verde Avenue is in its early conceptual phase. It is predominantly surrounded by residential uses. The intersection at Alma Street is unsignalized and crosswalks are not marked. The nearest railroad crossing is Meadow Drive to the south and Oregon Expressway to the north. Figure 3-24: Loma Verde Avenue Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-22: Oregon Expressway Underpass, Looking West Source: Google Earth 2016 Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-23: Oregon Expressway Underpass, Looking East DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 27 3.4.9 San Antonio Road The San Antonio Road grade separation allows for vehicular travel over the railroad tracks. Most of the separation falls within the City of Mountain View; however, a portion of the San Antonio Road overpass falls within the City of Palo Alto, as shown in Figure 3-25. The San Antonio Caltrain Station lies less than 500 feet southeast of the crossing and is surrounded by a mix of commercial offices, educational facilities, and medium-density residential communities. Pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited on the San Antonio Road overpass; however, they may access the opposite side of the railroad tracks via the San Antonio Caltrain Station. The current high volume of average daily traffic, approximately 36,000 vehicles per day, may be intimidating to pedestrians and bicyclists on the surrounding streets. Opportunities exist to improve connectivity at this grade separation by adding a new bicycle crossing, although special attention should be paid to conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles in the area.

In 2016, Caltrain service carried 62,416 riders on an average weekday, which represented a 7.2 percent increase from 2015 ridership, an 83 percent increase since 2010, and a 161 percent increase compared to ridership in 2004. Most riders continue to travel during peak commute hours, with 9.6 percent increase from 29,143 riders in 2015 to 31,948 in 2016. Caltrain also saw a 3.8 percent growth in reverse peak riders, from 18,842 in 2015 to 19,564 in 2016. Since 2010, Caltrain has experienced significant ridership growth, as seen in Figure 4-2. Caltrain currently operates 92 weekday trains, 36 Saturday trains, and 32 Sunday trains. Palo Alto has two Caltrain stations that operate seven days per week: the Palo Alto station is located at 95 University Avenue, and the California Avenue station is located at 101 California Avenue. Additionally, there is a station at 100 Embarcadero Road for Stanford University football games only. There are a total of 42 rail and highway at-grade crossings between Mission Bay Drive (San Francisco) on the north and Virginia Ave (San Jose) on the south. Caltrain operations are summarized below.

New traffic signal equipment and roadway improvements will be constructed at Brewster Avenue in Redwood City, and Rengstorff Avenue and Castro Street in Mountain View. Electrical upgrades and improvements to the pedestrian crossing system will be constructed at Churchill Avenue and East Meadow Drive in Palo Alto. At all locations, the preemption interface between the grade crossing warning system and traffic signal control system will be upgraded to a new 10-wire preemption circuit to provide improved preemption safety at the grade crossings. The upgraded systems will provide increased capability to clear vehicle traffic and exchange information between systems, in addition to improving ADA access for pedestrians and normal traffic operation of the intersections. 4.3.2 CBOSS Positive Train Control System Caltrain has developed specifications for an enhanced Positive Train Control (PTC) system, referred to as Communications Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS), which incorporate the essential functions of positive train separation, over-speed enforcement, and roadway worker protection, plus other capabilities specifically designed to improve grade crossing performance. CBOSS is a vital overlay of the existing wayside signal system, providing a transition from Caltrain’s Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) block signal system. In addition, CBOSS will allow Caltrain to reduce the peak minimum operating headway to five minutes, greatly increasing system capacity. CBOSS is specified to be compliant with the requirements of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and all relevant regulations provided by 49 CFR 236. Furthermore, Caltrain is participating in discussions with the interchanging railroads to achieve a PTC system solution that is interoperable with freight operator systems. Caltrain has been working to implement PTC on its corridor for several years to achieve the resulting safety and performance benefits. CBOSS will prevent over-speed-related derailments and collisions between trains under normal “signaled moves”. When PTC enforcement cannot be sustained, CBOSS provides contingency operating modes that allow operations to be conducted with reduced risk by enabling the train engineer to revert to CTC operations through the temporary use of the wayside signals. CBOSS also provides a “Restricted Manual” operating mode to enhance safety when the wayside signal system is unable to display permissive signals. While in Restricted Manual mode, CBOSS enforces the Restricted Speed to ensure that collisions at elevated speed do not occur. The CBOSS system will provide a crossing inhibit function, whereby a train which is making a station stop will not activate the grade crossing warning system, including advance preemption, as the train is approaching the station with an enforced stop short of the crossing. The CBOSS system will then provide an operator initiated start to the crossing and traffic signal preemption circuits prior to departing the station. 4.3.3 Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th and King Station to the Tamien Station in San Jose, convert diesel-hauled to Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains, and increase service to up to six Caltrain trains per peak DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 34 hour per direction by 2021. Initially, service between San Francisco and San Jose would include a mixed fleet of EMU’s and diesel locomotives. Eventually diesel locomotives would be replaced with EMUs over time as they reach the end of their service life. Caltrain’s diesel- powered locomotive service would continue to be used to provide service between the San Jose Diridon and Gilroy stations. The PCEP will allow Caltrain to operate quieter, cleaner, more frequent train service to more riders. Increased capacity and improved service will help Caltrain meet increasing ridership demand. Estimated ridership increases for 2020 and 2040 are shown in Table 4-5. Table 4-5: Estimated Ridership with Proposed Caltrain Electrification Project Estimated Ridership with the Proposed Project 2013 2020 2040 Existing/No Project 47,000 57,000 84,000 With Project N/A 69,000 111,000 Source: Caltrain Ridership Technical Memorandum, 2014 4.3.4 PCEP Relation to the High-Speed Rail Project The electrification system envisioned for the corridor would be configured in such a way that it would support the future operation of California HSR. Twenty-five-kV, 60-Hz single-phase AC electrification would be the power supply system of choice for a steel-wheel-on-steel-rail high- speed train operation. The Caltrain corridor is currently only rated for a maximum of 79 mph and, thus, there would be a need for track and other system upgrades to support higher speeds than at present. The Proposed PCEP includes electrification infrastructure that would first be used by Caltrain and could later be used for high-speed trains. However, the proposed project does not include other improvements necessary for high-speed trains such as platform improvements, high-speed rail maintenance facilities, passing tracks or other Core Capacity projects. The proposed project does not include improvements to support speeds greater than 79 mph or high-speed rail operations on the Caltrain corridor at speeds up to 110 mph. High- speed rail construction and operations would be the subject of a later, separate environmental analysis to be conducted by CHSRA and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 35 5 Traffic Operational Analysis This section describes the existing intersection and roadway traffic operating conditions at the at-grade roadway crossings of the railroad, within the limits of the City of Palo Alto. 5.1 Vehicular Level of Service Methodology and Standards Level of service (LOS) is a qualitative description of vehicular traffic operating conditions ranging from LOS A, or free-flow conditions with little or no delay, to LOS F, or jammed conditions with excessive delays. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) guidelines dictate the use of the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology to analyze intersections. The City of Palo Alto uses the same methodology to evaluate its intersections. The 2000 HCM operations method evaluates signalized intersection operations based on average control delay time for all vehicles at the intersection. Consistent with operations analysis software used in prior planning studies prepared for the railroad corridor (such as the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Plan Environmental Impact Report, Transportation Chapter, 2015) this study utilized Synchro/SimTraffic 8 software based implementation of the more current 2010 HCM methods for purposes of quantifying traffic operating conditions at the study intersections. Note that the Synchro/SimTraffic software is a widely-recognized software (including by agencies such as Caltrans) that is relatively more reliable for purposes of assessing operational characteristics of closely spaced intersections, including signalized intersections located in close proximity to at-grade railroad crossings. The City of Palo Alto LOS standard for signalized non-CMP intersections is LOS D or better. For CMP intersections, the City’s LOS standard is LOS E or better, meaning that only LOS F is considered unacceptable. The exception is the intersection of Foothill Expressway and Page Mill Road, which has a grade of LOS F and is considered acceptable by VTA. This is because it has operated at LOS F in the 1991 baseline conditions and thus the City of Palo Alto has not adopted the CMP standards for that particular intersection. The LOS definitions for signalized intersections are shown in table 5 , . Motor vehicle level of service D and E are typical at intersections in many urban areas where a high volume of vehicles pass through an intersection that is physically constrained by existing adjacent structures. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 36 Table 5-1: LOS Definition for Intersection Control Delay (sec/veh) LOS Description Signal Control 2-Way Stop or All-Way Stop Control A Signal progression is extremely favorable. Most vehicles arrive during the green phase and do not stop at all. Short cycle length may also contribute to the very low vehicle delay. 10.0 or less 0 – 10 B Operations characterized by good signal progression and/or short cycle lengths. More vehicles stop than LOS A, causing higher levels of average vehicle delay. 10.1 to 20.0 > 10 – 15 C Higher delays may result from fair signal progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant, though may still pass through the intersection without stopping. 20.1 to 35.0 > 15 – 25 D The influence of congestion become more noticeable. Longer delays may result from the same combination of unfavorable signal progression, long cycle lengths, or high V/C ratios. Many vehicle stops and individual cycle failures are not noticeable. 35.1 to 55.0 > 25 – 35 E This is considered the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor signal progression, long cycle lengths and high V/C ratios. Individual cycle failures occur frequently. 55.1 to 80.0 > 35 – 50 F This level of delay is considered unacceptable by most drivers. This condition often occurs without oversaturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing causes of such delay levels. Greater than 80.0 > 50 Source: Transportation Research Board, 2000 and 2010 The LOS descriptions in table 5 are framed entirely from the perspective of motor vehicle drivers and their passengers. VTA’s Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines require the consideration of other modes of travel when recommending changes to improve an intersection’s motor vehicle level of service. Senate Bill 743 created a process to change the way that transportation impacts are analyzed under CEQA and requires an alternative LOS for evaluating transportation impacts. This is described in further detail in Appendix A — Federal, State and Regional Policy and Framework Review. 5.2 Significant Impact Criteria Significance criteria are used to establish what constitutes an impact at an intersection. The City of Palo Alto uses the same impact criteria as the CMP. A project is deemed to create a significant adverse impact on traffic conditions at a signalized intersection in the City of Palo Alto if for either peak hour: a. the level of service at the intersection degrades from an acceptable level of service (LOS D or better for non-CMP intersections, and LOS E or better for CMP intersections) to an unacceptable level of service; and b. the intersection is already operating at an unacceptable level of service (LOS E or F for non-CMP intersections and LOS F for CMP intersections), and the project causes both the average control delay for the critical movements at the intersection to increase by four or more seconds and the critical volume-to-capacity ratio (V/C) to increase by one percent (0.01) or more. For both CMP and non-CMP intersections, if an intersection is operating at an unacceptable level of service and the change in critical delay is negative (i.e., decreases), a significant impact DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 37 is said to occur if the project causes the V/C ratio to increase by 0.01 or more. This can occur if the critical movements at an intersection change. 5.3 Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis Criteria A traffic signal warrant analysis was also completed per criteria contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD, 2014 Edition, Chapter 4C). The peak- hour volume Warrant 3 (urban areas) analysis was completed as a representative warrant analysis to determine if “significance” should be associated with unsignalized operations. Other signal warrant criteria, including Warrant 9: Intersection Near a Grade Crossing, will also be evaluated for key study intersections where applicable. Note that the CA-MUTCD indicates that “the satisfaction of a traffic signal warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the installation of a traffic control signal.” 5.4 Traffic Count Data Intersection turning movement and vehicular traffic volume counts were collected by the City on Thursday, February 16, and November 30, 2017, under AM peak hour, mid-day peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions, at key study intersections along each of the at-grade crossing corridors. For the purposes of this study, AM peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 7:30 and 9:30 AM on a typical weekday, mid-day peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 2:30 and 4:30 PM on a typical weekday, and PM peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 4:30 and 6:30 PM on a typical weekday. The intersection traffic counts were obtained at a total of thirteen (13) study intersections listed as follows: 1. Charleston Road / Alma Street 2. Charleston Road / Park Blvd. 3. Charleston Road / Wilkie Way 4. Charleston Road / Wright Place 5. Meadow Drive / Alma Street 6. Meadow Drive / Park Blvd. 7. Meadow Drive / Wilkie Way 8. Meadow Drive / Ramona St. 9. Churchill Avenue / Alma Street 10. Churchill Avenue / Mariposa Ave. 11. Churchill Avenue / Madrono Ave. 12. Palo Alto Avenue / Alma Street 13. Palo Alto Avenue / El Camino Real Appendix C – Traffic Count Raw Data contains the raw traffic count data. For a graphical illustration of the existing traffic volumes at the study intersections, refer to Appendix D – Existing Traffic Turning Volumes. 5.4.1 Intersection Traffic Operations The Existing Conditions delay and LOS operations for study intersections for both survey data sets are summarized in Table 5-2. Note that this table summarizes traffic operating conditions under normal/typical operating conditions within the typical weekday AM, midday and PM peak hour periods at the study intersections when the railroad gates are “open”, meaning there is no railroad-related interruption of vehicular traffic flow on the roadway crossings. There was a possibility of some bias in the February traffic behavior and volume suggesting it was an DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 38 atypical day. To verify this, the traffic counting exercise was repeated at the same locations on November 30, 2017. In Table 5-3 and Table 5-4, the differences between the February data set and the November data set are set out in summary for the key intersections. The individual movement difference for the 13 intersections for both data sets are included in Appendix D. There could be a number of reasons for the differences. Firstly, there may have been a bias in the demand volumes in the February data, that in general show lower values than the November demand volumes. Secondly, with continued economic growth in this area, there may have been some growth in traffic demand between February and November during 2017. The PM peak hour, however, shows an overall 9.6% greater difference in volumes which tends to suggest a higher demand than either a normal daily variation or nine (9) months of demand growth would generate.

This was then used as the primary observed data set in all the analyses. Reviewing the results of the operational analyses in Table 5-2 for the key intersections (i.e., Alma Street with the rail crossing streets), shows that in terms of level-of-service the AM and PM peak hour drops from C to D, for Meadow Drive, but remain the same for all other intersections. Intersection Operations during Railroad-Related Signal Pre-emption Cycles: In Section 5.4.1 and Table 5-2, the road traffic signal operations are described that relate to the times when the rail gate is open The relationships between traffic volumes; traffic delays and queues and rail gate closure frequencies is a complex one. A description of the characteristics is set out below. The Caltrain schedule shows a morning highest peak of 10 trains an hour stopping at Palo Alto Station two way, stopping between 7:00 am and 8:00 am; but six (6) stopping between 6:00 am and 7:00 am and five (5) between 9:00 am and 10:00 am. For the evening peak again there are 10 trains scheduled between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm; but seven (7) between both 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm. The number of trains stopping at Palo Alto Station does not necessarily directly correlate with the number of gate closures as some single gate closures may accommodate a train in each direction. There are also trains that do not stop but pass through and cause rail gate closures. The best data source on gate closures came from the document “Caltrain: Grade Crossing Hazard Analysis – Final Report,” February 2016. The data showed all rail gate closures by time of day and duration for an average weekday. This shows a maximum number in any one hour of 10 in both the morning and evening peaks, but the average for the four (4)-hour peak periods is six (6) for the AM and seven (7) for the PM. The most congestion is caused when both the frequency of gate closures and traffic volumes peak at the same time. However, in Table 5-5, a comparison of peak traffic flow times with peak gate closure frequency is set out. What is clear is that although some “peaks” of both the DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 40 frequencies of gate closures and traffic volumes do coincide in time, many do not. Nor do the peak times coincide by location. Table 5-5 shows the peak hours for traffic flow crossing the Caltrain tracks and the peak hours for the frequency of gate closures. As can be seen, these vary by each item and location. Figure 5-1 depicts the situation at the Palo Alto Avenue rail crossing for westbound traffic. The blue line represents the frequency of gate closures; the green line the traffic volumes and the red line the length of highest queuing. These are normalized to compare these profiles. What can be seen is that when traffic volume and gate closure frequencies peak together, so does the queue length. Table 5-5: Peak Traffic Flow and Gate Closure Frequency Hours Location Item AM PM Palo Alto Ave EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 WB Traffic 11:00-12:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 8:00-9:00 6:00-7:00 Churchill Ave EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 3:00-4:00 WB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 7:00-9:00* 5:00-6:00 Meadow Dr EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 3:00-4:00 WB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 7:00-9:00* 5:00-7:00* Charleston Rd EB Traffic 8:15-9:15 3:30-4:30 WB Traffic 8:30-9:30 5:15-6:15 Gate Closure 7:00-8:00 6:00-7:00 Both hours have peak values. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 41 Figure 5-1: Train and WB Traffic Daily Pattern at Alma St and Palo Alto Ave Caltrain Crossing Coincidence of “peaking” is evident in the PM peak period, although even then not exactly (actual peak traffic demand is an hour earlier than peak gate closure frequency). However, it can be seen that in the AM peak period, the queues at 8:00 am are less than those at 12:00 pm. This is largely because the traffic demand is the dominant independent variable and is lower at 8:00 am than from 11:00 am onwards. In order to capture the impacts of all these different variations, the model takes an average condition over a four (4)-hour peak period from both AM and PM. The model is used to assess growth in demand and likely traffic diversion effects. For the more detailed hourly intersection operational analyses, an assumption of eight (8) railgate closures an hour is used. It is general practice not to design infrastructure to the very highest peak demand conditions but to normalize peak period conditions for design and evaluation purposes. In Table 5-6 the level-of-service for the actual rail crossing movements is shown for 2017. This is a “weighted” average of times when the rail gates are closed and when they are open.

All shuttles are wheelchair accessible, equipped with bicycle racks on the exterior of the vehicle, and can accommodate up to two conventional bicycles. The Embarcadero Shuttle Operated by the Caltrain Commuter Shuttle Program, the Embarcadero Shuttle provides peak hour service between the University Avenue Caltrain Station and the Baylands Business Parks east of Highway 101/Embarcadero. Local schools and community facilities are also served along the route including Palo Alto High School and Castilleja School. The Embarcadero Shuttle runs approximately every 20 minutes, Monday through Friday from the Palo Alto Caltrain Station to the Embarcadero/Baylands during peak commute hours and is coordinated with the Caltrain schedule. The Crosstown Shuttle Operated by MV Transportation, Inc. and managed by the City of Palo Alto, the Crosstown Shuttle connects the University Avenue/Downtown to South Palo Alto at Charleston Road. The Crosstown Shuttle traverses several residential neighborhoods, schools, senior residences, libraries, recreation centers, and commercial districts helping to link public service areas within the community. A Special School run operates during the morning and afternoons to help encourage alternative transportation options for students. Marguerite Shuttle Operated by Stanford University, the Marguerite Shuttle service is free and open to the public. The main shuttle lines traverse the campus Monday through Friday all year (except university holidays). Evening and weekend services are available from mid-September to mid-June with Lines N, O, OCA, and Shopping Express. The Marguerite service to the Caltrain stations are made possible, in part, by grants from the BAAQMD Transportation Fund for Clean Air and the PCJPB. Local businesses and organizations also contribute financially to the service. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 52 7 Bicycle and Pedestrian Network 7.1 Overview In the 2000s, the City of Palo Alto released the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan, improvements through the Safe Routes to School program, and land use planning reforms, which all encouraged the creation of a bicycle and pedestrian friendly built environment. The existing Bicycle and Pedestrian network in the City is largely based on of the recommendations of the 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan. The existing bicycle network in the Study Area is shown in Figure 7-1. All four at-grade crossings are currently connected to roadways with bike lanes. Figure 7-1: Existing Bicycle Network within Study Area 7.2 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan The 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP) updates the initiatives outlined in the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan and provides strategic guidance to the public and private non-motorized transportation investment in facilities and related programs. The Palo Alto BPTP not only reaffirms city-wide goals of increasing pedestrian and bicycle usage over the next decade (see Table 7-1), it also takes into account relevant City plans, surrounding community plans, and state and regional bicycle and pedestrian plans to create a larger picture. The Palo Alto BPTP includes five key objectives which are extensions of the transportation element of the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, to provide a focus on non-motorized DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 53 transportation modes. Each objective includes its rationale, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, key strategies of implementation and benchmarks to measure progress. Table 7-1: City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan Objectives Objectives 1. Double the rate of bicycling for both local and total work commutes by 2020 (to 15% and 5%, respectively). 2. Convert discretionary vehicle trips into walking and bicycling trips in order to reduce City transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 15% by 2020. 3. Develop a core network of shared paths, bikeways, and traffic-calmed streets that connects business and residential districts, schools, parks, and open spaces to promote healthy, active living. 4. Plan, construct, and maintain ‘Complete Streets’ that are safe and accessible to all modes and people of all ages and abilities. 5. Promote efficient, sustainable, and creative use of limited public resources through integrated design and planning. Source: 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan 7.3 Safe Routes to Schools The Safe Routes to Schools program is a collaborative effort between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), with the goal to improve safety for school commuters and to reduce school commute-related congestion on city streets. Approximately 14 percent of Palo Alto’s students walk to school daily, while 4,000 students from the PAUSD bike to school. The Safe Routes to Schools program produced a series of Walk and Roll maps that outline suggested bicycle and pedestrian paths around a one-mile radius around a school within PAUSD, as described in Section 2.1.5. 7.4 Bicycle Facilities The Palo Alto Caltrain Station has had a Bikestation since 2007 which utilizes a former baggage building at the historical train depot. Bikestations offer 24-hour indoor, secure bike parking facilities. Some locations include restrooms, showers, and/or changing rooms and repair and rental services. The Palo Alto Bikestation provides bicycle parking for 96 bikes, recreational rentals, bike repairs, accessory sales, a changing room, and an outdoor seating area with concessions. The Palo Alto Caltrain Station also has bikeshare, provided by Bay Area BikeShare. This is a shared use service for passengers who wish to travel short distances with a bike. Bicycles can be rented from this station and returned to another BikeShare dock within the area. This program will soon transition into Ford GoBike, which is set to launch June 2017. The San Antonio Caltrain Station is also a bikeshare station. In addition, the three Caltrain stations in Palo Alto provide ample bicycle racks and locker spaces (detailed in Table 7-2: Bicycle Facilities) which can be rented and reserved in advance. The locker spaces at Palo Alto and California Ave Caltrain Stations are typically fully reserved.

The goal of the ADA is to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. To implement this goal, the US Access Board, an independent federal agency created in 1973 to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities, has created accessibility guidelines for public rights-of-way. While these guidelines have not been formally adopted, they have been widely followed by jurisdictions and agencies nationwide in the last decade. The guidelines, last revised in July 2011, address various issues, including roadway design practices, slope and terrain issues, and pedestrian access to streets, sidewalks, curb ramps, street furnishings, pedestrian signals, parking, and other components of public rights-of-way. These guidelines would apply to proposed roadways in Palo Alto. Federal Highway Administration The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the agency of the United States (US) Department of Transportation (DOT) responsible for the federally funded roadway system, including the interstate highway network and portions of the primary State highway network, such as Interstate 280 (I-280) and U.S Highway 101 (US 101). Federal Railroad Administration The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was created by the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. The FRA’s mission is to enable the safe, reliable, and efficient movement of people and goods for a strong America, now and in the future. In 2008, Congress required Class I railroad main lines handling hazardous materials and railroad main lines with regularly scheduled intercity and commuter rail passenger service to fully implement Positive Train Control (PTC) by December 31, 2015. PTC uses communication-based/processor-based train control technology that provides a system capable of reliably and functionally preventing train- to-train collisions, overspeed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and the movement of a train through a main line switch in the wrong position. The deadline was extended to December 31, 2018, with the possibility for two additional years if certain requirements are met. The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) is slated to reaching full PTC implementation by the end of 2017.8 The PTC implementation status as of December 2016 for PCJPB is shown in Figure 0-1. 8 FRA.dot.gov; https://www.fra.dot.gov/Media/File/1109 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 55 Figure 0-1: PTC Implementation for Caltrain Union Pacific Railroad The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) is a national freight hauling railroad and operates on the largest railroad network in the county and one of the largest transportation companies in the world. The UPRR does operate freight rail service through the Caltrain corridor, which is owned by the PCJPB, and there are UPRR properties along the right-of-way within the City of Palo Alto9. State California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358) Originally passed in 2008, California’s Complete Streets Act came into force in 2011 and requires local jurisdictions to plan for land use transportation policies that reflect a “complete streets” approach to mobility as a result of Assembly Bill 1358. The Complete Streets approach is essentially a suite of policies and street design guidelines which provide for the needs of all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit operators and riders, children, the elderly, and the disabled. From 2011 onward, any local jurisdiction—county or city—that undertakes a substantive update of the circulation element of its general plan must consider complete streets and incorporate corresponding policies and programs. California Department of Transportation The California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, is the primary State agency responsible for transportation issues. One of its duties is the construction and maintenance of the state highway system. Caltrans approves the planning, design, and construction of improvements for all State-controlled facilities including I-280, US 101, and the associated interchanges for these facilities located in Palo Alto. Caltrans’ jurisdiction includes State Route 82 (SR 82), El Camino Real, in Palo Alto. Caltrans has established standards for roadway traffic flow and developed procedures to determine if state-controlled facilities require improvements. For projects that may physically affect facilities under its administration, Caltrans requires encroachment permits before any construction work may be undertaken. For projects that would not physically affect facilities, but may influence traffic flow and levels of services at such facilities, Caltrans may recommend measures to mitigate the traffic impacts of such projects. The following Caltrans procedures and directives are relevant to the proposed Comprehensive Plan update, particularly State roadway facilities: 9 Calhsr.com, Caltrain ROW Maps; http://calhsr.com/resources/caltrain-row-maps/ Source: FRA, 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 56 LEVEL OF SERVICE TARGET. Caltrans maintains a minimum level of service (LOS) at the transition between LOS C and LOS D for all of its facilities. Where an existing facility is operating at less than the LOS C/D threshold, the existing measure of effectiveness should be maintained. CALTRANS PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL. This manual outlines pertinent statutory requirements, planning policies, and implementing procedures regarding transportation facilities. It is continually and incrementally updated to reflect changes in policy and procedures. For example, the most recent revision incorporates the Complete Streets policy from Deputy Directive 64-R1, which is detailed below. CALTRANS DEPUTY DIRECTIVE 64. This directive requires Caltrans to consider the needs of non-motorized travelers, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons with disabilities, in all programming, planning, maintenance, construction. This includes incorporation of the best available standards in all of Caltrans’ practices. CALTRANS DEPUTY DIRECTIVE 64‐RI. This directive requires Caltrans to provide for the needs of travelers of all ages and abilities in all planning, programming, design, construction, operations, and maintenance activities and products on the State highway system. Caltrans supports bicycle, pedestrian, and transit travel with a focus on “complete streets” that begins early in system planning and continues through project construction and maintenance and operations. CALTRANS DIRECTOR’S POLICY 22. This policy establishes support for balancing transportation needs with community goals. Caltrans seeks to involve and integrate community goals in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance and operations processes, including accommodating the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. California Public Utilities Commission The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) serves the public interest by protecting consumers and ensuring the provision of safe, reliable utility service and infrastructure. The CPUC regulates utility services, stimulates innovation, and promotes competitive markets, where possible, in the communications, energy, transportation, and water industries. In addition, the CPUC administers funding programs for railroad crossings: Section 130, Section 190, and Maintenance Fund. The Section 130 Grade Crossing Hazard Elimination Program provides federal funds to local agencies (cities and counties) and railroads to eliminate hazards at existing at-grade public highway-rail crossings. The Section 190 Grade Separation Program provides state funds to local agencies to grade- separate at-grade crossings, or to improve grade-separated crossings. The program typically provides approximately $15 million distributed among three or four projects each fiscal year.10 Eligible projects include the alteration or reconstruction of existing separations and the construction of new grade separations to eliminate existing grade crossings. 10 CPUC, Railroad Crossing Funding Programs; http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=2722 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 57 The Railroad Crossing Automatic Warning Device Maintenance Fund provides funds to railroads to pay for the local government’s share of the costs of maintaining automatic warning devices at railroad crossings. California Transportation Commission The California Transportation Commission (CTC) administers the public decision-making process that sets priorities and funds projects envisioned in long-range transportation plans. The CTC’s programming includes the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), a multi-year capital improvement program of transportation projects on and off the State highway system, funded with revenues from the state highway account and other funding sources. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) manages the operation of state highways. Senate Bill 743 (Steinberg, 2013) Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) requires the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to amend the CEQA Guidelines to provide an alternative to LOS as the metric for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA. Particularly within areas served by transit, the alternative criteria must promote the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, development of multimodal transportation networks, and diversity of land uses. Measurements of transportation impacts may include VMT, VMT per capita, automobile trip generation rates, or automobile trips generated. Once alternative criteria are incorporated into the CEQA Guidelines, auto delay will no longer be considered a significant impact under CEQA. SB 743 also amended State congestion management law to allow cities and counties to opt out of LOS standards in certain infill areas. Regional and Local Association of Bay Area Governments The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is comprised of the Bay Area’s local governments as a result of state legislation that would have supplanted local control over all bridges, ports, and transit operations in the Bay Area. ABAG provides planning and research resources related to land use, housing, environmental and water resource protection, disaster resilience, energy efficiency and hazardous waste mitigation, risk management, financial services and staff training to local cities, and towns. ABAG's planning and research programs are committed to addressing sustainability, resilience and equity in the region. Metropolitan Transportation Commission The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the transportation planning, coordinating, and financing agency for the nine-county Bay Area, including Santa Clara County. It also functions as the federally mandated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the region. It is responsible for regularly updating the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport, railroad, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. With the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, the State of California committed itself to reducing statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Subsequent to adoption of AB 32, the State adopted Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) as the means for achieving regional transportation-related GHG targets. Among the requirements of SB 375 is the adoption of targets to be met by 2020 and 2035 for each MPO in DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 58 the State, as well as the creation of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that provides a plan for meeting regional targets. The SCS and the RTP must be consistent with one other, including action items and financing decisions. MPOs must use transportation and air emissions modeling techniques consistent with guidelines prepared by the State CTC. The current RTP, Plan Bay Area: Strategy for a Sustainable Region, was adopted on July 18, 2013 and includes both the region’s Sustainable Communities Strategy and the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. Plan Bay Area was prepared by MTC in partnership with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and cities and counties throughout the region. Plan Bay Area is an integrated long-range transportation and land-use/housing plan intended to support a growing economy, provide more housing and transportation choices, and reduce transportation- related pollution in the Bay Area. It also specifies a detailed set of investments and strategies to maintain, manage, and improve the region’s transportation system, specifying how anticipated federal, State, and local transportation funds will be spent. The MTC has established its policy on Complete Streets in the Bay Area. The policy states that projects funded all, or in part, with regional funds (e.g., federal, State Transportation Improvement Program, bridge tolls) must consider the accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as described in Caltrans Deputy Directive 64. These recommendations do not replace locally adopted policies regarding transportation planning, design, and construction. Instead, these recommendations facilitate the accommodation of pedestrians, including wheelchair users, and bicyclists into all projects where bicycle and pedestrian travel is consistent with current adopted regional and local plans. Bay Area Air Quality Management District The air quality district that addresses air pollution in the Plan Area is the BAAQMD. Since a primary source of air pollution in the Palo Alto region is from motor vehicles, air district regulations affect transportation planning in the Plan Area. The BAAQMD is a public agency tasked with regulating air pollution in the nine-county Bay Area, including Santa Clara County. The BAAQMD’s goals include reducing health disparities due to air pollution, achieving and maintaining air quality standards, and implementing exemplary regulatory programs and compliance of federal, State, and regional regulations. California High-Speed Rail Authority The California High Speed Rail Authority is responsible for the planning, designing, building and operation of the nation’s first high-speed rail system. Their future corridor and planned service along Caltrain right-of-way makes them a key stakeholder in future corridor improvements. Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) is the governing body for the Caltrain commuter rail service that operates in the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. The PCJPB was formed in 1987 to oversee the passenger rail service. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and the Congestion Management Plan The MTC requires the local transportation authority, such as the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), to establish transportation plans that can feed into the larger DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 59 RTP. In Santa Clara County, the VTA is the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) tasked with preparing the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) that describes the strategies to address congestion problems and monitoring compliance. The VTA works cooperatively with the MTC, transit agencies, local governments, the Caltrans and the BAAQMD. The CMP contains LOS standards for highways and arterials, multimodal performance standards, a capital improvement program, a program for analyzing land use decisions, and a travel demand management (TDM) program. The minimum LOS standard for VTA-monitored CMP intersections is LOS E, except for facilities grandfathered in at LOS F, which states that intersections operating at LOS F at the baseline year for implementation of an LOS standard can be grandfathered in. The standards for Santa Clara County were established in October of 1991; thus, any intersection operating at LOS F prior to the established 1991 LOS standards are not held to the minimum standard of LOS E.3 Member Agencies, which include the cities and County of Santa Clara, must ensure that CMP roadways operate at or better than the minimum LOS standard. The VTA monitors the performance of CMP facilities at a minimum of every two years. If the minimum LOS standards are not met, Member Agencies plan for improvements to address the congestion. Palo Alto uses a minimum LOS standard of LOS D for its intersections not monitored as part of the VTA CPM program. To manage the transportation system and monitor performance in relation to established LOS standards, the VTA has designated a CMP roadway system for Santa Clara County. The CMP roadway system contains 434.5 miles of roadways, of which: 267.4 miles (61 percent) are State highways, 58.7 miles (14 percent) are expressways, and 108.4 miles (25 percent) are city/county arterials.5 If adopted standards are not being maintained on a specific roadway in the designated system, actions must be taken to address problems on that facility or plans must be developed to improve the overall LOS of the system and improve air quality. The CMP roadway system is a subset of the broader Metropolitan Transportation System. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Bicycle Program In 1998, the VTA implemented a comprehensive Bicycle Program to improve the bicycle infrastructure throughout the Santa Clara County, and to encourage people to utilize biking as a form of commute and recreation. The Bicycle Program provides facilities, services, and programs to make provide bikes a safer option for residents and visitors in Santa Clara County. Under the Bicycle Program, the VTA prepared a Countywide Bicycle Plan, and associated Bicycle Technical Guidelines. Santa Clara County Bicycle Plan In 2008, VTA completed the Santa Clara Countywide Bicycle Plan (SCCBP), which provided a foundation for maintaining and enhancing the countywide bicycle network. The vision of the SCCBP is: To establish, protect and enhance bicycling as a viable transportation mode and to assure that bicycling is a practical and safe mode of travel, by itself and in combination with other modes. The SCCBP identifies existing and proposed cross county bicycle corridors, some which pass through Palo Alto, such as the Dumbarton East-West Connector Corridor, which stretches from North Palo Alto to Los Altos, and the Matadero Creek/Page Mill Trail, DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 60 which stretches from the southeast corner of the Foothill Expressway/Page Mill Road intersection along Page Mill Road to Arastradero Road. The SCCBP establishes several goals, and policies to achieve the vision through transportation planning and programming, land use and transportation integration, local ordinance and guidelines development, and design and construction. The VTA’s Bicycle Expenditure Program (BEP) was created to provide a funding stream to implement the SCCBP. Santa Clara County Bicycle Technical Guidelines The VTA Bicycle Technical Guidelines (BTG) establish standards and guidance for planning, designing, operating, retrofitting and maintaining roadways and bikeways throughout Santa Clara County, including parts of Palo Alto. The BTGs are intended to improve the quality of bicycle facilities and to ensure countywide consistency in the design and construction of the countywide bicycle network, including roadways. The BTGs apply to projects that are a part of the countywide bicycle network. The BTGs are divided into the following four parts: Part 1 provides an introduction and general guidance, including purpose and policy guidance, as well as bicycle characteristics, such as bicyclist skill levels and facilities that best accommodate them. Part 2 includes the technical guidelines for roadways, including roadway design elements, construction zones and maintenance, intersections and interchanges, and signalized intersections. Part 3 establishes technical guidelines for on-road bikeways, including bikeways on major rural roads, and local roads. Part 4 includes technical guidelines for bike-only facilities, including bike paths, and bike bridges, as well as bike parking.

Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 1 1 Introduction The City of Palo Alto Travel Demand model is an essential source of information and part of the “tool kit” the Consultant will use for the technical analyses of the Task 4: Rail Corridor Circulation Study, as part of the Consultant’s Rail Program Management Services. Task 4 itemizes a number of subtasks that will be carried out as follows: ● Data Review ● Existing Documents ● Existing Traffic Counts ● Travel Demand Models ● Development Proposals ● Utilities and Right of Way ● Field Observations ● Collision Data ● Grade Crossing Hazards and Gate Downtime ● Evaluation of Alternatives This report focuses on the Travel Demand Model. The Travel Demand Model is a regional model that has been used by the City of Palo Alto (referred to as the “City”) to provide transportation information on the Comprehensive Plan and other major changes that will impact transportation. The Travel Demand Model was developed based on the VTA regional travel demand model using the Cube Voyager program. How the model will be used is described together with the background setting for the analyses. A description of the model is included together with identifying its limitations and the appropriate way of integrating the use of the model into the analyses that form a major component of the overall evaluation studies. The Consultant has reviewed the output of the model at its base year (2014) with newly obtained and other recent traffic volume counts. This provides a measure of how the model can be used. The proposed analytical methods the consultant intends to use are discussed. A second model, a modified version of the original, was then constructed to refine the model description for the area around the Caltrain crossings using new traffic data. A discussion on this is also included. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 2 2 Background and Use of the Travel Demand Model The Rail Corridor Circulation Study is set up to assess what the effect will be of the alternative grade separation road/rail designs on the street based traffic. This will include all motorized vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This report addresses motorized vehicles only; other modes are covered elsewhere. Analyses of the Travel Demand Model reflect automobiles, taxis, road transit (bus and shuttles), and trucks. The model simulates road traffic patterns and volumes in the road network. It is responsive to connectivity in the road network and delay-generated-congestion on the road network. It will simulate the rerouting of traffic to reflect all drivers (apart from fixed rate road transit services), minimizing their journey times. For this exercise, only the road traffic assignment model is used. There are other choice models within the overall modeling framework (mainly location and mode choice), but they are not considered to be impacted sufficiently by the alternative forms of grade crossings to be reflected in the analyses. The Travel Demand Model is very large (almost 3,000 zones) and is primarily intended to be used to assess the impact of major changes in land use and transportation infrastructure and services. For example, a major capacity increase of a freeway or changes in population or employment in the City and surrounding area. However, the model is quite suitable for assessing driver’s responses to major changes in road connectivity and delays generated by congestion. It is also the best tool available for forecasting future growth in travel demand. The Consultant will use the Travel Demand Model for two important elements of the analysis. First, it will be used to assess the rerouting of drivers to respond to connectivity changes by either grade separations or road closures replacing current at grade crossing, for example. This will allow the impact of rerouting to be analyzed with the alternatives being tested. The second use will be to assess the most likely growth of travel demand and its impact in the future years at the key points in the road network. This growth will be applied to observed traffic volumes and movements to project to a future year estimation of traffic conditions. At the key intersection and grade crossings, a more detailed approach will be applied. New data has been obtained from recent traffic counts and this data, along with the use of forecast growth parameters, will be used as input to a more detailed modeling of the intersections. This is described further in in the following sections of the report. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 3 3 Model Review Although the model geographically covers the whole Bay Area (nine counties), its focused area is the City of Palo Alto, where it has more detailed information about the roadway network and land use. The City model has 2,980 traffic analysis zones (TAZs). The zones are denser in the City area than in other areas. The base year of the model is 2014, and the planning horizon year is 2030. Figure 1 below shows the TAZs for the City of Palo Alto. 3.1 Figure 1: Traffic Analysis Zones DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 4 3.1 Travel Demand Models Two models were received from Hexagon Transportation Consultants, who currently maintains the City model: ● 2014 base year model ● 2030 Alt 1 model. This is one of the many future year models of the City. The City has a number of future year models, each representing a different planning scenario. The 2030 Alt 1 model is considered the most appropriate for this study, as it represents the currently approved City Comprehensive Plan. The City model has a number of traffic forecasting periods: AM peak 4-Hour, PM peak 4-Hour, Mid-Day, and Night. In this study, only the peak hour traffic forecasts will be used, as those represent the most critical conditions. The City model, however, does not produce peak hour traffic directly. The peak hour forecasts have to be derived through factoring the AM 4-Hour and PM 4-Hour traffic forecasts. The same process will be followed for forecasting peak hour traffic in this study, as would be done for other infrastructure projects in the City. 3.2 Limitations of the Model The City model is not an intersection based model in the sense that turning movement delay is not explicitly modeled and is not sensitive to volume changes. The model is not intended to address this level of detail. From the traffic operation point of view, this is a limitation of the model because in urban streets, traffic delay is typically incurred at intersections instead of the link level. This model uses speed/flow relationships with implicit (average) delays for intersections. 3.3 Roadway Network in the Study Area The City model is not built on a GIS network. It therefore lacks many roadway network details in the study area. This is illustrated in Figure 2, where the thick blue lines represent the model network while the gray lines represent the GIS network. It can be seen from the figure that there are many streets that are not included in the model. The missing of those local streets, and the fact that not all local streets are represented, may affect how traffic is assigned or routed in the model. This is completely normal for a strategic model covering the size of area that it does. Therefore, the model forecasts need to be examined on how they can be used for traffic operations analysis. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 5 Figure 2: Model Network vs. GIS Network 3.4 Study Intersections This project has four (4) key study intersections / railway and highway crossings. In the following section, the actual layout of these intersections is compared with what has been assumed in the model. Aerial photos are used to show the actual layouts of these intersections. From north to south the intersections are: 1. Palo Alto Ave with El Camino Real 2. Churchill Ave with Alma Street 3. Meadow Drive with Alma Street 4. Charleston Rd with Alma Street Alma street is a four (4) lane arterial throughout the City and a main north-south route alongside and immediately to the east of the Caltrain tracks. The intersecting streets have an east-west orientation and are four (4) lanes in width.

The actual intersection layout is presented in Figure 9, and the model layout is presented in Figure 8. 3.5 Model Results Validation The purpose of the model validation is to better understand the capacity of the model in forecasting traffic at the corridor level in the study area, as well as the proper use of the model forecast for traffic operations analysis. The validation is not intended to be a “critique” of the model but rather to develop how it can be used in the process. The comparison of the modeled with counted flows is highly unlikely to be the same: ● The model peak hour flows are converted from four (4) peak-hour traffic assignment results, whereas the counted flows are true peak hour flows. ● Models of this size are not intended to be used at individual street or intersection level. ● The model does not represent all of the streets in the City. ● Traffic counts can also vary from day to day. ● The model is 2014, and the counts are 2015/16. The model is validated in two ways. The first is to compare the 2014 traffic forecasts with the 2015/2016 traffic counts. The second way is to compare the 2014 traffic forecast with the 2030 traffic forecasts and check the reasonableness of the volume change, i.e., whether the volume changes are reasonably explained by the network and land use changes. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 13 3.6 2014 Model Results vs. Traffic Counts The comparison of the base year traffic forecasts with traffic counts is summarized in Table 1. The “Counts” column represents the 2015/2016/2017 observed traffic counts, and the “model” column represents the traffic forecasts from the 2014 base year model (note: the El Camino Real / Palo Alto Ave intersection traffic counts are from 2017, while those of other intersections are from 2015/2016). The comparison is conducted for one hour in both the AM and PM peak periods at the four key study intersections. Table 1: Base Year Model Forecast Validation Source: observed traffic counts and 2014 base year traffic forecast model * GEH stands for Geoffrey Edward Havers, who developed a statistical method of measuring the “goodness of fit” between two independent data sets. It is a modified Chi Squared test and outputs a statistical value for the comparison. It has been adopted by the UK Department of Transportation, many U.S. State DOTs, and the travel demand modeling industry in general. A number of observations can be made from the comparison: ● The volume discrepancy between the model forecasts and the traffic counts demonstrates that the model should not be used directly to estimate individual traffic flows. The general standard is that when the GEH value is greater than 5.0, the data sets are not compatible, which was to be expected. ● The model forecasts on Alma Street are generally lower than the observed traffic counts. Based on the above, it was decided that future year traffic forecasts from the model should not be used directly for traffic operational analyses at a detailed level and would be used to estimate the growth in traffic demand. The models would also be used to identify changes in travel patterns. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 14 3.7 2030 Model Results vs. 2014 Model Results The comparison between the 2030 future year forecasts and the base year forecasts is presented in Table 2. Table 2: 2030 Alt. 1 Model Forecast Validation Source: observed traffic counts, and 2014/ 2030 year traffic forecast models The comparison shows that: ● The 2030 future year traffic forecasts are systematically higher than the base year forecasts along Alma Street. The volume growth incremental rate is roughly 2% annually. This is an expected result. ● The cross-street traffic largely increases over time. But at a few locations, the future year forecasts are lower than the base year forecasts by a small margin. There are some, reassignments in the model that account for this. The volume change seems to be consistent along Alma Street and the growth rate seems to be reasonable. The growth shown is quite suitable to be added to traffic forecasts to derive a set of improved 2030 traffic forecasts. 3.8 The Second Base Year Model A second base year model was constructed to improve the modeling of traffic flows at the key intersections on Alma Street. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 15 This model was a refinement of the original City model, using a process called MEOD (Matrix Estimation of Origins and Destinations), within the CUBE suite of programs. This process modifies the trip tables to more closely reflect traffic count data that is input to the model. Below, the methods used to modify the model are described. A) Review the road network structure within the model and refine to a more detailed level where necessary. To include TAZ link connectors in the review. B) Prepare traffic count data and input to the CUBE ANALYST sub-model. The sub-model uses a “matrix estimation by maximum entropy” (ME2) process to adjust the trip tables to provide, when assigned to the network, the closest fit of model estimated flows to the input observed flows. C) Rerun base year AM & PM peak models and revalidate, using GEH statistical analyses. The results are shown in table 3 below.

The percentage of GEH statistics that are not greater than five (5) exceeds 85%. The average GEH statistic is 3.0. The fit at Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr is very good and good at Charleston Rd. This model may be used for future forecasting for a more precise analysis of the key intersections of the Caltrain crossing routes with Alma Street. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 16 4 Future Year Modeling Methodology 4.1 Travel Models The City Travel Demand Models will be used to derive the growth in traffic volumes for all the traffic operations analyses (TOA). This will be commenced by examining two different time travel models: ● 2014 base year model. The model approximately represents the existing year condition. ● 2030 Alt 1 model. This model represents one of the City’s most likely future year conditions. For this project, this model reflects the no-build condition. Based on these two models, other models will be constructed to evaluate the future year “project” conditions. The use of “project” in this instance means any planning or design measures that are related to this study and to be explored in this study. A number of varying project conditions will require evaluation. The approach is to add the forecast growth from the models to the observed traffic volumes: ● Refined traffic forecast = counts + (future year model forecast – base year model forecast). The approach is called “The Differences Method” and is described in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program: Report 765 – Analytical Travel Forecasting Approaches for Project-Level Planning and Design. The method is described briefly below in the following Abstract: “6.3 Factoring Procedure – Difference Method 6.3.1 Abstract Factoring procedures are used to predict future year turning movements based on the relationship between base year turning movement counts and base year model turning movement assignments. The assumption is that future turning movements will be similar in nature to existing turning movements. Based on this assumption, future year turning movements can be estimated by comparing the relative differences between base year and future year turning movement assignments. The procedure can be applied for both directional and non- directional turning movements. 6.3.2 Context Typical applications are intersection design, intersection capacity analysis, site impact studies, traffic signal timing, and interchange studies. Geography is site, corridor and wide area. Typical time horizons are short range, interim, and long range. Required input data are traffic counts and traffic model link assignments. Optional input data are turning movement estimates and manual link forecasts.” This approach was used for the 2030 sample scenario tests. 4.2 Improvement Plans in the Traffic Forecasting Model Assuming the potential project alternatives in this study are limited to local roadway improvements such as grade-separation, roadway signing and restriping, or even traffic signal treatment, these improvements are unlikely to change the overall traffic demand or traffic distribution pattern at the regional level. These local improvements typically affect only route DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 17 choice: if a specific route becomes more attractive, it is going to draw more traffic from adjacent parallel streets. This is essentially a traffic assignment issue. It is also assumed that the above roadway improvements change traffic delay at the turning movement level rather than the link level. For example, grade-separation effectively reduces signal delays and thereby reduces intersection turning movement delay. The following steps will be followed to incorporate each roadway improvement into the model: ● Revise the model network to reflect the geometric changes ● Estimate traffic delays due to the increase from four (4) trains each in the peak hour, each direction, at current at-grade intersections, to ten trains each direction. ● Estimate the traffic delay as a result of these geometric changes, using traffic operation models (Synchro). ● These will then be used to estimate turn penalties in the model at the intersections under review. More details on the methodology and the results of these tests will be contained in the next section on the Analysis of the Sample Scenarios.

This document reports on the outcomes of those studies and also includes a description of the background; the objectives; and the methodologies employed to obtain the results. 1.2 The intent of the Rail Corridor Circulation Study was to estimate the effect on traffic circulation under up to eight (8) different scenarios that have been modeled using the regional/Citywide travel demand model. This has been used to assess the diversionary (traffic rerouting) impacts of the possible changes to the rail corridor road network in the City that future grade crossing layouts may cause. A more detailed examination of the intersections at, and close to, the current at-grade crossings has also been carried out using traffic operational models. These “Year 2030” scenarios include several variations of grade crossings and grade separations at each railroad corridor crossing location. The first two scenarios (“Year 2030 No Build Scenario One” and “Year 2030 No Build Scenario Two”) do not include any new grade crossings, new grade separations or modifications to existing crossings, as they refer to the “No Build” scenarios. The remaining six (6) scenarios (Year 2030 Scenarios 1 through 6) include varying collections of new multi-modal grade-separated crossings, new bicycle- and-pedestrian-only grade-separated crossings, new grade separations, modified grade crossings, and closed grade crossings. The analysis of scenarios is intended to inform the selection of grade separations alternatives for more in-depth study and evaluation. These scenarios are for testing only and are not intended to establish any policy directions or suppose a preferred alternative. 1.3 The impacts of any future modifications to the current at-grade and grade-separated crossings will affect accessibility across the Caltrain tracks. To construct a grade separation where currently there is an existing at-grade crossing, clearly reduces the interference or obstruction caused by that crossing and therefore improves East/West access/capacity at that location. That may or may not attract additional vehicular traffic to that crossing. Similarly, closing (i.e., eliminating) an existing at- grade crossing will cause traffic to divert to other routes. The intent of this study is to assess probable changes to motor vehicle and bicycle traffic circulation/demands under changes in accessibility/capacity caused by railroad crossing related infrastructure improvement scenarios. To the extent that it is possible with the demand models, an order-of-magnitude quantification of those changes is described. 1.4 Even if no changes or modifications are made to the existing rail crossings, increases in traffic demands driven by land-use and population growth would occur between existing and future (2030) conditions. Vehicular traffic is forecast to grow at a little over 1% per year. The Caltrain service modifications, made possible by the electrification, are likely to double the number of trains in the peak periods compared to now, when they are implemented. There is also the potential for having high-speed rail services on this line, in addition to Caltrain. The combination of the increased frequency of gate closures at the crossings and increased traffic flows will undoubtedly increase road congestion from what it is now. 1.5 Two types of Year 2030 “No Build” scenarios were first defined. A Year 2030 “No Build 1” scenario was first developed that includes growth in traffic between current and Year 2030 conditions while assuming no change to existing rail service frequencies, and no change in existing roadway circulation conditions. Included in the Circulation Study tests, is another Year 2030 “No Build 2” scenario where both the increased train frequencies and traffic growth (between existing and year 2030) are simulated within the demand models, while assuming no future construction occurs. The “No Build 2” with both train frequencies and traffic volume scenario forms the ‘baseline’ from which comparisons against the scenario tests are made. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 2 1.6 The current average number of gate closures caused by passing trains is 6-7 per hour over the peak periods. The highest number in any one hour recorded is 10. The assumptions within the demand modeling is that this will rise to an average of 20 by 2030 if both Caltrain Modernization and high- speed-rail services are implemented. Caltrain current signal system headways allow for a maximum of an express train every five (5) minutes and a local train every six (6) minutes. This would mean 24 express trains per hour for both directions if evenly spaced at five-minute intervals and 20 local trains per hour if evenly spaced at six-minute intervals. Neither of these conditions would be likely to occur in “real life”. Firstly, the service will most likely be a mixture of both local and express trains and secondly, running at uniform minimum headways through a peak hour is highly unlikely to be achievable in practice. Therefore, by assuming a maximum of 20 gate closures per hour over the peak periods, the model is addressing the likely worst-case scenario in terms of traffic disruption. It is also likely that with such intense service frequencies, that occasionally, a single-gate closure could accommodate two (2) trains passing in opposite directions, meaning that the number of gate closures was actually less than the total two-way train frequency. 1.7 Finally, conclusions are drawn from the series of ‘sensitivity’ tests carried out for alternative scenarios. It is important to note what is forecast to happen if nothing is done to improve the crossings and not only whether diversions will occur under various scenarios of infrastructure changes, but whether their impact is likely to be significant or not. The study area is shown in Figure 1.1. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 3 2. Study Methods 2.1 A two-step analysis process was used to complete the circulation study. A large-scale regional/citywide traffic demand model is first used to estimate both the growth in traffic demand within the road network and the diversion impacts that any proposed changes to the road infrastructure will cause. The demand model is fully described in the “Travel Model Validation Report.” Since the regional model cannot simulate traffic flows reliably at an individual roadway link or intersection level, a more refined post-processing of forecasts and operational analysis at an individual intersection level is completed in the second step. This is described below. 2.2 The Travel Demand Model runs on a “Cube Voyager” software platform. This is a universally accepted platform throughout the planning industry. The model itself comes from the MTC and Santa Clara VTA regional models and is compatible with all models used for infrastructure planning on the Peninsula and the Bay Area. The models are forecast to the future year of 2030 and outputs estimates of traffic volume conditions for the hourly average of a four-hour peak period in both the morning and afternoon for an average week day. Both inputs to and outputs from the Travel Demand Models and the operational models are mounted on the City’s website. 2.3 The Travel Demand Model is a four-stage model in which trip generation, trip distribution (locations), mode choice (motor vehicle, transit or rail) and assignment (either highway, transit or rail networks) are estimated. The model is calibrated on observations at a base- year against land-use and population data. For future year forecasts to 2030, the main input to the models are the future year assumptions on the 2030 land uses; populations; employment and car ownership. This is the same model that has been used for developing the transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The model is owned by and is accessible through the City of Palo Alto. 2.4 This model was used, together with traffic count data, to develop the forecast traffic flows for the sample scenarios. Subsequently a second base year model was developed that incorporated a later set of traffic county data (November 2017) local to the at-grade intersections to refine the model focus on these intersections. This is reported in the Existing Conditions and the Travel Model Validation Sections. However, the original model is the one that was used for forecasting to 2030. 2.5 The train frequencies that cause gate closures during the peak periods vary considerably at the crossing locations from three (3) per hour to ten (10) per hour. The highest frequencies tend to be 8:00-9:00 am and 6:00-7:00 pm. The other variable involved is the crossing traffic volume. It is a combination of these two variables that produces congestion. Crossing traffic volume peaks at different times at different location and at different times to the train frequency peaks. For example, at the Palo Alto crossing, westbound traffic peaks between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. At Churchill Rd and E/W Meadow Dr, the afternoon peak hour for eastbound traffic is 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. So, a single peak-hour demand model would not capture all the peak conditions and would not be fully representative for analysis. By adopting the City’s Demand Model that covers a four-hour peak period for both the AM and PM, the study has encapsulated the dynamic variables that make up traffic congestion. The qualification being that the highest peaks at individual locations could generate more congestion for a short time than the model would predict. A further issue is that of a phenomenon called “peak spreading.” As traffic congestion grows, drivers tend to change their time of travel to avoid the worst conditions. It is traffic saturated conditions that cause “peak spreading” to happen, where the physical capacity of the system is reached. When looking at the possibility of a 20% growth of traffic by the year 2030, it is likely that the highest peak traffic volumes could not be accommodated by some parts of the road network capacity. The result would be an expansion of the peak conditions DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 4 to a wider time period. By using a four-hour average peak period, this growth can be realistically simulated by the demand model. The analyses of the operational conditions, however, does use current peak hour volumes, with growth added by the demand model to analyze those conditions in the future forecast year of 2030. This means that the operational analyses will have captured the most congested conditions. 2.6 The individual intersection-level forecasts were developed using Year 2017 intersection turning-volume level ground counts as the basis. Each of the critical intersections that include the rail crossings were surveyed for two (2) days in 2017, (one in February and one in November) with new weekday peak-hour traffic counts obtained at thirteen (13) study intersections. This included the actual rail crossing intersections as well as the closely located and influential adjacent intersections. 2.7 The traffic count data and forecasts were used as input to a traffic operational modeling procedure to analyze the performance of the intersection. The software platform is Synchro® (Version 8). This is a popular traffic operational analysis software platform that is universally used and accepted throughout North America. This was completed for February’s 2017 data set. 2.8 The Synchro® analysis was initially used for the 2017 (actual) conditions and reported in the Existing Conditions Report. For the future forecast year of 2030, the 2017 count data was modified/refined to reflect regional-model forecasted growth in traffic demand through year 2030 from year 2017. The impact, as a result of traffic growth, was analyzed with the Synchro® software. The Demand Model was used to estimate that growth. The result is that at individual intersections, the peak one-hour (as opposed to the four-hour average of the peak period) demands are more accurately represented. Two (2) separate appraisals were carried out for the 2017 analyses. The initial one used the February 2017 data and the second one used the November 2017 data. Compared to other data that was available, including the November 2017 counts, it seems likely that there was a bias in the February 2017 data. This was thought to be caused by atypical traffic demand and behavior from events being held that were outside normal weekday activities. This is reported in the Existing Conditions Section of this Report. It was therefore concluded that the second data set, relating to the November 2017 traffic counts, should be considered as the most realistic. However, the differences from using either of the two (2) data sets in forecasting are unlikely to be significant. The probability is that one level-of-service difference may occur in a minority of cases. Certainly the overall impact analyses are highly unlikely to change. 2.9 To address the important issue of Bicycle accessibility, a separate analysis procedure was used. This consisted of developing an accessibility map, based on travel time contours (an isochronic analysis), using a GIS-based mapping procedure. This plots the travel distance that can be achieved with 5, 10, 15 and 20-minute cycling times. The process, therefore, easily identifies the ability of bicyclists to make east/west movements across the Caltrain tracks and indicates where there is good and poor accessibility. The average bicycle speed was taken as 12 mph, which is what the City typically uses to time traffic signals along bikeways. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 5 3. Scenario Specifications 3.1 Six (6) separate circulation sample scenarios were tested with both the morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) peak period models at a future forecast year of 2030. These are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 describes the six (6) scenarios that are analyzed and Table 2 is a tabular representation of the scenarios. 3.2 For each at-grade crossing, there are a variety of treatments available. ● Remain as it is today with all-modes having access. (No change) ● Closure for all modes. (Motor vehicles) ● Closure for vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, but retaining Pedestrian and Bicycle access, either remaining at-grade or grade separated. ● Grade separation for all modes. ● Widen existing grade-separated crossings. There are other measures that can also be implemented such as remaining as an at-grade crossing for all modes but imposing a quiet zone. This is not an option that can be analyzed within the modeling procedures in the circulation studies, but is a qualitative assessment in terms of impacts. For the demand model tests, there is no sensitivity to the type of grade separation that may be employed, only that the current obstruction caused by the presence of the rail crossing is removed. 3.3 An analysis of the details of traffic operations for specific designs will be the subject of further work when the alternatives are being considered. 3.4 The following are the crossing locations and their current (or future committed) conditions: ● Palo Alto Avenue (AKA Alma Street) – existing at-grade, all modes ● Everett Avenue/Lytton Avenue – planned grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● University Avenue – existing grade-separated, all modes ● Homer Avenue – existing grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● Embarcadero Road – existing grade-separated, all modes ● Churchill Avenue – Existing at-grade, all modes ● California Avenue – existing grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● Oregon Expressway – existing grade-separated with no pedestrian access ● Loma Verde Avenue/Matadero Creek – planned grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● East/West Meadow Drive – existing at-grade, all modes ● East/West Charleston Road – existing at-grade, all modes ● San Antonio Road – existing grade-separated, all modes This represents the “No Build” infrastructure condition. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 6 Table 1, below, presents a general description of each of the sample scenarios that were tested. All were analyzed for the future forecast year of 2030. Also, to be noted is that where the circulation study assumes grade separations, it does not differentiate between the type of separation (below grade, above grade, etc.). This is due to the focused nature of the analyses and means that additional circulation analysis will likely be needed for grade separation alternatives that emerge through the community process if, for example, the type of separation results in local street closures in the vicinity. It was also assumed that all grade separations included full connections (both turning and through movements) with Alma Street, as it exists today.

NEW 4. Scenario Test Results 1: Traffic Diversions 4.1 For the six (6) test scenarios, the travel demand model was used to assess the diversion effects. The model was used to estimate how travel patterns will change when accessibility changes. This shows where increases and decreases occur in traffic volumes when a scenario is compared to the “No Build” scenarios. These are shown graphically in Figures 4.1 to 4.12. The “No Build Scenario 1” will include all infrastructure and rail service as it exists today (2017) with the forecasted 2030 traffic demand. The “No Build Scenario 2” includes all infrastructure as it exists today, but with the forecasted 2030 traffic demand and the increase in the frequency of rail crossing gate closures resulting from proposed Caltrain and High-Speed Rail service. 4.2 In 2030, the train frequency in the peak periods of the average weekday is forecast to increase to around three times today’s service levels (i.e., from an average of 6-7 trains per hour to 20 trains per hour). This assumes both Caltrain and high-speed rail future forecast services will be operating. It could be speculated that even if high-speed rail is not in service by then, the demand for Caltrain services could push the train frequency to that level. That could be near to a practical saturation level for Caltrain services to operate if no further modifications (such as more passing tracks) are constructed. In simple capacity terms, this translates to approximately a 20% reduction in vehicular capacities across the Caltrain at-grade crossings from today. For both the No-Build Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, a 15% increase in total vehicular traffic volumes crossing the rail lines within the City is forecast through Year 2030 over existing conditions. 4.3 The difference between No Build Scenario 1 and No Build Scenario 2 is that there would be a vehicular traffic rerouting effect for the individual crossings due to the increase in grade- crossing congestion caused by effectively tripling the potential for gate closures. Essentially crossing traffic reduces on Palo Alto Ave; E/W Meadow Dr and Charleston Rd and increases on Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Rd. There is little effect on Churchill A = At Grade Q = Quiet Zone W = Widened Grade Separated X = Closed to all Traffic S = Grade Separated DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 8 Ave; University Ave and Embarcadero Rd. So, there is a redistribution of routing to the grade-separated crossings in the south of the City. 4.4 In the rest of the comparisons, the “No Build Scenario 2” option is assumed to be the baseline, so in Figures 4.1 to 4.12, the “traffic differences” diagrams are shown for each scenario against the “No Build Scenario 2”, with the red overlay showing which roads will have increased traffic flows and the green overlay showing where traffic flows will be reduced. For each scenario, a summary of this is included with a description of the effect on the volumes using the various rail crossings within the City. 4.5 SAMPLE SCENARIO 1 Sample Scenario 1 has three (3) of the at-grade crossings closed and Charleston Rd. grade separated. Embarcadero Rd is widened. The total 2030 traffic crossing reduces to 2017 levels, so the growth is effectively rerouted out of the City. University Ave and Embarcadero Rd experience small increases but Charleston Rd experiences very high increases in traffic flows, over 50% above the No Build Scenario 2 flows, shown in Figures 4.1 and 4.2. 4.6 SAMPLE SCENARIO 2 Scenario 2 has Palo Alto Ave and Meadow Dr closed; Churchill Ave remaining at grade and Charleston Rd grade separated. The total crossing traffic flows reduce by around 10% from the No Build Scenario 2 conditions, so around 5% above today’s conditions. There is some small amount of increases to traffic on the grade-separated crossings, with the exception of Charleston Rd which experiences over 50% increase in traffic flow. In the westbound direction, Oregon Expressway is likely to exceed LOS D. In the eastbound direction, Embarcadero Rd is likely to be congested, well above LOS D. University Ave is not likely to exceed LOS D. Shown in Figures 4.3 and 4.4. 4.7 SAMPLE SCENARIO 3 Scenario 3 has the existing grade separation at Embarcadero Rd being widened and with Charleston Rd grade separated. There are slight increases for Palo Alto Ave and Embarcadero Rd but over a 50% increase from the No Build Scenario 2 for Charleston Rd. The widening of Embarcadero Rd reduces potential congestion and assists in balancing the traffic volumes between the grade-separated crossing. The widening, therefore, is a justifiable measure and serves the purpose for which it is intended. Both Palo Alto Ave and Embarcadero Rd are likely not to exceed LOS D. Shown in Figures 4.5 and 4.6. 4.8 SAMPLE SCENARIO 4 The only change from No Build Scenario 2 to Sample Scenario 4 is that a grade separation for Charleston Road is included. There is little change except for Charleston Rd itself, which attracts over an additional 50% of traffic flow. Shown in Figures 4.7 and 4.8. 4.9 SAMPLE SCENARIO 5 Scenario 5 has an at-grade quiet zone at Palo Alto Ave and grade separations at Charleston Rd and Meadow Dr. Churchill Ave remains at-grade. Both Meadow Dr and Charleston Rd experience a high level of additional traffic flow. This is likely to have the effect of having similar traffic operating conditions as today, on the existing grade separations. So, the traffic growth is taken up by the new grade-separated crossings. Shown in Figures 4.9 and 4.10. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 9 4.10 SAMPLE SCENARIO 6 This scenario offers the greatest level of total capacity increase for the crossings within the City of all the scenarios tested. It has all the specifications of sample scenario 5 with the addition of widening at Embarcadero Rd and Palo Alto Ave grade separated. Churchill Ave stays the same as today. Each of the former at-grade crossings that are assumed to be grade separated attract substantial additional traffic flows – much of which is diverted from the existing grade-separated crossings in the City. The existing grade-separated crossings operate with similar levels of traffic flow to today and substantially better than in No Build Scenario 2. Shown in Figures 4.11 and 4.12. 4.11 DISCUSSION ON TRAFFIC DIVERSION OUTCOMES Although six (6) scenarios is only a fraction of the vast number of possible combinations and permutations for different layouts of the crossings in the City, it seems the tests completed provide a reasonable picture of likely outcomes of different scenarios. These range from Sample Scenario 1, the most restrictive, which is specified to close down all the at-grade crossings except Charleston Rd, to Sample Scenario 6, that includes grade separating every crossing that is currently at-grade, except for Churchill Ave. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 10 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 11 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 12 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 13 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 14 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 15 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 16 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 17 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 18 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 19 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 20 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 21 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 22 In general, the outcomes of the tests are intuitive with those crossings that remain at grade shedding traffic to either the existing grade-separated crossings or any that will be newly constructed as grade separated. The exception is Churchill Ave which seems relatively insensitive to changes in the layout and functions of the crossings. This may be because Churchill is used for very local trips that are unlikely to reroute without significant inconvenience. 4.12 If the grade separations were to be constructed, then some rerouting would occur from the existing grade separations. Charleston Rd is particularly likely to experience this if it is grade separated; specifically attracting traffic that currently uses the San Antonio Road grade- separated crossing. Charleston Rd and Arastradero Rd corridor is one of the few connecting routes for I-280 and US 101 Sample Scenario 1 is likely to divert the 15% growth in traffic demand from today to 2030, out of the City and divert existing traffic from the routes that are closed to those that are grade separated. This is shown in Figures 4.13 and 4.14. It should be noted that in Figures 4.13 to 4.16 the increases are compared to current conditions, not to the “No Build Scenario 2.” This gives a perspective to the likely increases compared to today. 4.13 Sample Scenario 6 displays about the highest crossing capacity of the six (6) sample scenarios for vehicular traffic. Churchill Ave is not assumed grade separated, but seems fairly insensitive to change and may not make any significant difference. Sample Scenario 6 is technically equivalent to having the Caltrain track below or above ground for the whole length through the City, from a traffic modeling perspective. This Scenario attracts some 5% more total crossing traffic than No Build Scenario 2. All routes that are currently at-grade and become grade separated in Scenario 6 will attract significant additional volumes of traffic, as can be seen in Figures 4.15 and 4.16. Much of this traffic reroutes from existing grade crossings, particularly San Antonio Road. 4.14 In Table 3 – a summary assessment of the likely effects of the different proposals for the at- grade treatments are shown, as demonstrated by the model. Forecast traffic volumes for roads across the Caltrain tracks for 2017, 2030 NB1 and NB2 and 2030 Scenarios 1-6 for AM and PM peak hours are included in Appendix A.

Scenario Test Results 2: Intersection Analyses 5.1 GENERAL This section of the report describes the results of a more detailed examination of the operational performance of the intersections. The computer program Synchro® (version 8) was used for the analysis. For each intersection, the traffic flows surveyed in 2017 were used as input with the addition of forecast traffic growth from 2017 to 2030. The growth was estimated using the travel demand model. The forecast traffic flows are described below. This is followed by an analysis of the conditions, in terms of traffic delay and queues, that are likely to occur if the Caltrain services are increased to, firstly, Caltrain modernization specification and secondly, to both the Caltrain Modification and high-speed rail specification for train service frequencies. This section then describes the more detailed analyses that have been carried out for the performance of the intersections under Sample Scenarios 1 to 6. Finally, a discussion is included in the results. 5.2 TRAFFIC FLOWS The intersections analyzed are shown in Figure 5.1. and listed below. 5.3 The following are the intersections that have been examined: ● Palo Alto Avenue/Alma St (unsignalized intersection) ● El Camino Real/Palo Alto Ave/Sand Hill Rd ● Churchill Ave/Alma St ● Churchill Ave/Mariposa Ave (unsignalized intersection) ● Churchill Ave/Madrona Ave (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Ramona St (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Alma St ● Meadow Dr/Park Blvd (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Wilkie Way ● Charleston Rd/Wright Pl (unsignalized intersection) ● Charleston Rd/Alma St ● Charleston Rd/Park Blvd (unsignalized intersection) ● Charleston Rd/Wilkie Way These intersections were all subject to count surveys in 2017 – as reported and analyzed in the “Existing Conditions Report.” DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 29 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 30 5.4 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR “NO BUILD” SCENARIOS Tests were carried out for a number of possible conditions for the future: 2017 - current conditions 2020 - Caltrain Modernization train frequency increases 2030 - Caltrain Modernization and high-speed-rail train frequency increases (No Build Scenario 2) In Figure 5.2, the average vehicle delays are shown under the three (3) analysis years described above. As can be seen, particularly in the PM peak, delays are forecast to at least double in many cases from 2017 to 2030. 5.5 Figures 5.3 and 5.4 show the likely queue formation for the future year of 2030 in the PM peak for a “No Build Scenario 2” condition. The PM peak, generally, has higher volume of flows than the AM peak. Queues become a more serious issue when they cause gridlock by backing up through intersections that are up-stream (in traffic flow terms) of the intersection under examination. As can be seen, this occurs at a number of the intersections under review and particularly on El Camino Real, which is a major route through the City. 5.6 Table 4 below shows the typical level-of-service (LOS) for the key traffic flows that cross the rail track for the three (3) analysis years at each of the at-grade crossings (as set out above in 5.4).

The LOS is for the times when the rail gates are not closed. For the LOS for times when the gates are closed, Table 4 should be referred to. It should be remembered that the forecast flows into the intersections vary considerably between different scenarios and therefore the LOS will also vary. For example, when an existing at-grade crossing is assumed to be grade separated in a scenario, it is likely to attract more traffic, which then can deteriorate the intersection LOS’s on that route. This also means that some routes that remain at-grade will operate at a better LOS during times when the rail crossing gate is open, than when they are assumed to be grade separated. This is usually because traffic is deterred from using a route with an at-grade crossing because of the likelihood of gate closures. When a route that was previously at- grade is proposed for grade-separation, the demand model shows it will attract additional traffic and that additional traffic may cause a deterioration in the operating LOS at the intersections on that route. When future alternative (more detailed) designs for grade operations are carried out, these conditions may well be improved.

With the forecast frequencies of closures, this will occur on an increasing number of occasions during the peak periods (one every three [3] minutes on average). Conversely, if an at-grade crossing remains at-grade, traffic will likely divert to other routes and this may improve the operating LOS for periods when no gate closures occur. 5.9 For routes where currently at-grade crossings are converted to grade separations, additional traffic is likely to be attracted which may deteriorate the LOS for all intersections on that route. This can be seen in Table 5; however, where the all mode closures of the rail crossings at Palo Alto Ave; Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr (Scenario 1) are implemented, it may improve the LOS of the surrounding intersections. If closures were to be implemented and traffic diverted to existing grade crossings, then the LOS on Embarcadero Rd and Oregon Expressway are likely to operate higher than LOS D. Crossing Route Scenario & Time Period DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 35 Without widening, Embarcadero Rd in an eastbound direction would likely be highly congested and above LOS D. 5.10 A further consideration is that the actual timings of the gate-crossing cannot be predicted precisely. There is a randomness associated with arrival time of the train within a given time period. This is exacerbated by the fact that the services are two-way operations, each direction having their own frequency characteristics. This may mean that on occasions, the traffic queuing from one signal phase that included a gate closure may not sufficiently recover to a normal non-gate closure condition, before another gate-closure phase occurs for the traffic signal. Conversely, opposite direction trains may utilize one gate closure, resulting in more open gate time within a given window. 5.11 In summary, for those crossing routes that remain at-grade, it is likely that the intersections will operate at LOS F for the times when there is a gate closure. Due to traffic being attracted away from these routes, because of the likelihood of drivers experiencing a gate closure, the traffic volumes on those routes are likely to reduce. This would mean the LOS would improve when no gate closures occurred. However, for the forecast train frequencies in 2030 under the full impact of Caltrain Modernization and high-speed-rail specifications, the likelihood of a traffic signal phase including a gate closure becomes very much higher than today. For those routes that do have future grade separated Caltrain track crossings, where none exist today, increased traffic flows are likely to occur and thus the LOS at the intersections on that route may deteriorate. 6. Bicycle & Pedestrian Accessibility 6.1 As part of the scenario testing, a variety of different proposals for new bicycle and pedestrian crossings for the Caltrain track were prepared. These are shown in Table 6 below. As part of any future grade-separated crossings, both bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be fully accommodated within the overall infrastructure designs. These will be equivalent in access and safety terms to the latest standards and to any of the other newly constructed Bicycle/Pedestrian-only grade separations.

For the No Build Scenario 2 and as it is today, there is a significant gap between Oregon Expressway and Meadow Dr. With Sample Scenario 1, this gap is extended by the closure of Meadow Dr. Added to this, new gaps would appear between Oregon Expressway and Churchill Ave and north of Palo Alto Ave. Sample Scenario 2 is a considerable improvement on Sample Scenario 1 with the addition of new Bicycle/Pedestrian-crossing facilities at Everett Ave/Lytton Ave and at Loma Verde Ave/Matadero Creek. Sample Scenario 2 though, still reduces mobility north of Palo Alto Ave by closing it, and also, marginally between the new Loma Verde Ave/Matadero Ave crossing and Charleston Rd, by closing Meadow Dr. 6.3 Sample Scenario 6 provides the maximum accessibility for Bicyclists and Pedestrians of all the scenarios tested. As all at-grade crossings are assumed grade separated, except Churchill Ave, and all proposed new grade-separated crossings for bicycle and pedestrian are assumed constructed, the overall level of accessibility is very high. This is shown in Figure 6.3. The only remaining at-grade crossing that does not have improved Bicycle and Pedestrian crossing facilities would be Churchill Avenue DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 37 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 38 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 39 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 40 7. Road Safety 7.1 The Existing Conditions Report, the accident data showed the following in Table 7.

Any new construction to the latest standards, particularly a grade separation or closure, is likely to reduce the potential for accidents. 8. Summary and Conclusions 8.1 The Traffic Circulation Study tests were carried out with the City’s Travel Demand Model for examining the impacts of traffic growth and any traffic diversionary effects from the different layouts and combinations of grade separations. Although the number of permutations and combinations of different forms of treatment to the Caltrain crossings are potentially very high, the six (6) representative tests carried out have provided a reasonable picture of what is likely to happen under the most foreseeable/practical scenarios. 8.2 Six (6) sample scenarios were tested that ranged from a very restricted accessibility specification to one with a very high level of accessibility across the Caltrain tracks. 8.3 Total growth in traffic across the Caltrain track crossing from now (2017) to 2030 is forecast to be around 15% under “No Build” condition. 8.4 Under a “No Build Scenario 2” condition (i.e., with the expected maximum of 20 trains per hour during peak periods), the increased delays at the at-grade crossings would cause traffic to divert to the currently grade-separated crossings; particularly Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Rd. The conditions on both of these routes is likely to be worse than LOS D. 8.5 For a situation with the higher level of restricted access (Sample Scenario 1), the test assumed closure of the Palo Alto Ave; Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr at-grade crossings. Charleston Rd was assumed grade separated. For this scenario, the overall 2030 traffic volumes across the Caltrain track within the City would reduce to levels that exist today and the ‘growth’ would be diverted out of the City. 8.6 Sample Scenarios 1 and 2 would seriously reduce bicycle and pedestrian accessibility across the Caltrain track and, therefore, active transportation mobility in general, unless newly constructed crossings were provided in the same or close-by locations. 8.7 For the scenarios with a number of grade separations replacing currently at-grade crossings, the total 2030 traffic across the Caltrain tracks could grow by more than 20% from today. This means some traffic is diverted in from outside the City compared to a “No Build” conditions. Location Item DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 41 8.8 In all cases, currently at-grade crossings, if they were to be grade separated, would attract traffic from the existing grade-separated crossings. Charleston Rd and Meadow Dr are likely to attract over 50% increases relative to the No Build Scenario 2 with Palo Alto Ave over 30%. Much of the additional traffic would be diverted from the currently grade-separated crossings. This is likely to improve the LOS on all the existing grade-separated crossings. 8.9 The model shows that the traffic that diverts to be the longer distance traffic, whereby decisions by drivers on changes in routing are made outside the City. 8.10 The more detailed examination of the individual intersection traffic operations shows that under the forecast “No Build Scenario 2” conditions, the intersection at the rail crossings would be operating at Level-of-Service F on an overall basis and could incur at least twice the delay experienced today. 8.11 For Caltrain crossing routes within the City that are assumed to remain at-grade, the traffic flow volumes are forecast to experience little change from 2017, and any additional traffic due to growth diverts to those crossings where there are grade separations. Such grade separations may be the existing ones or newly constructed ones. Thus, the traffic operational conditions for the routes that remain at-grade remain similar to today when a gate-closure does not interfere with the signal phasing. However, for the signal phases where a gate closure does impose on the phasing conditions, the motor vehicle level-of- service drops to F. In 2030 with full Caltrain modernization and high-speed rail train pre- emptions, this would occur a substantial number of times during the peak periods. 8.12 For the Caltrain crossing routes within the City that are assumed to be upgraded from at- grade to grade separated, the traffic volumes are likely to increase substantially. This could cause the level-of-service of the individual intersections on the crossing routes, close to the track, to deteriorate. 8.13 Any complete all-mode closures on the crossing routes will cause substantial reduction in mobility to bicyclists and pedestrians unless either an existing grade-separated crossing is close by or a new one is constructed. 8.14 In the period from 2011 to 2015, a total of 88 accident collisions were recorded, of which 32 involved injury and one (1) a fatality. New construction, either grade separations or closures, are likely to reduce this substantially.

This revised report will be available to the new rail consultant team as they conduct their analysis of grade separation alternatives. No Committee action is requested. Executive Summary The initial rail program consultant prepared a draft traffic circulation study to assess traffic conditions along the rail corridor with and without various grade separations. The draft study was provided to the Rail Committee and the public in late 2017 and staff received a number of comments and questions which have been addressed in the attached, revised report. The report, now referred to as a “white paper” will be available to the new rail consultant for their use as they conduct their analysis of grade separation alternatives. This white paper supplements other white papers on (1) trenching and tunneling; and (2) local financing. Background and Discussion The initial Rail Program Consultant was charged with completing a high-level circulation study. This study included the following components: 1.Data assembly and review (complete) 2.Research existing documents (complete) 3.Collect and examine multimodal traffic counts (complete) 4.Validate base year in the regional and local travel demand models and adjust models to account for increased rail service along the corridor (underway) 5.Collate and review any relevant development proposals within the study area (underway) 6.Model future traffic conditions under up to eight scenarios to include: a.No build scenario with current rail corridor service b.No build scenario with increased rail corridor service (CalMod and HSR) c.Build scenario 1 d.Build scenario 2 e.Build scenario 3 f.Build scenario 4 g.Build scenario 5 City of Palo Alto Page 2 h. Build scenario 6 7. Conduct field observations on travel behavioral patterns 8. Assess the record of collision occurrences at the rail crossings and surrounding areas 9. Analyze grade crossing hazards and gate downtime 10. Quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate up to eight scenarios, using the following performance measures: a. Total vehicle miles travelled b. Total vehicle hours consumed c. Average trip length, trip duration time and highway network speed d. Changes in modal choice e. Total travel user benefits and collision savings benefits over a 20-year period f. Motor vehicle level of service by intersection g. LOS by movement at intersections h. Changes in specific origin-destination journey times i. Delays to transit services j. Delays to pedestrians and bicycles k. Motor vehicle queue lengths at intersections l. Delays at individual intersections by movement The intent of the Rail Corridor Circulation Study was to estimate the effect on traffic circulation under up to eight different scenarios that were modeled using the regional and local travel demand model. These scenarios included several variations of grade crossings and grade separations at each railroad corridor crossing location. The first two scenarios did not include any new grade crossings, new grade separations or modifications to existing crossings, and were considered “no build” scenarios. The other six scenarios included varying collections of new multi-modal grade-separated crossings, new bicycle and pedestrian only grade-separated crossings, new grade separations, modified grade crossings, and closed grade crossings. The analysis of scenarios was intended to inform the selection of grade separations alternatives for more in depth study and evaluation. Scenarios that were not included in the initial study may still emerge via the community process and those that were for study selected were chosen in part for their ability to inform the development of grade separation alternatives, including their physical attributes and phasing. Please also note that where the circulation study assumes grade separations, it does not differentiate between the type of separation (underground, above ground, etc.). This is due to the nature of the study and means that additional circulation analysis will likely be needed for grade separation alternatives that emerge through the community process if, for example, the type of separation results in local street closures in the vicinity. . At a high level, the study considers the impacts of potential future modifications to the current at-grade and grade-separated crossings and its findings are intuitive. To construct a grade separation where currently there is an existing at-grade crossing clearly reduces the interference or obstruction caused by that crossing and therefore improves east/west access/capacity at that location. That may or may not attract additional traffic to that crossing. Similarly, closing (i.e. eliminating) an existing at-grade crossing will cause traffic to divert to other routes. The intent of this study is to estimate changes to motor City of Palo Alto Page 3 vehicle and bicycle traffic circulation/demands with changes in accessibility/capacity caused by railroad crossing-related infrastructure improvement scenarios. To the extent that it is possible with the demand models, an order-of-magnitude quantification of those changes is described. Even if no changes or modifications are made to the existing rail crossings, increases in traffic demands driven by land use and population growth would occur between existing and future (2030) conditions. Motor vehicle traffic is forecast to grow at a little over 1% per year. The Caltrain service modifications, made possible by the electrification, are likely to double the number of trains in the peak periods compared to now, when they are implemented. There is also the potential for having high-speed rail services on this line, in addition to Caltrain. The combination of the increased frequency of gate closures at the crossings and increased traffic flows will undoubtedly increase road congestion from what it is now. Two types of Year 2030 “No Build” scenarios were defined in the study. A Year 2030 “Business as Usual” scenario was first developed that includes growth in traffic between current and Year 2030 conditions while assuming no change to existing rail service frequencies, and no change in existing roadway circulation conditions. Included in the Circulation Study tests, is another Year 2030 “No Build” scenario where both the increased train frequencies and increased traffic growth (between existing and year 2030) are simulated within the demand models, while assuming no future construction occurs. The second No Build scenario forms the ‘baseline’ from which comparisons against the scenario tests are made. Finally, conclusions are drawn from the series of “sensitivity” tests carried out for sample scenarios. It is important to note what is forecast to happen if nothing is done to improve the crossings and not only whether diversions will occur under various scenarios of infrastructure changes, but whether their impact is likely to be significant or not. On June 28, 2017, a staff report was presented to the City Council Rail Committee entitled “Draft Rail Program Circulation Study Scenarios.” In this Staff Report, six (6) different scenarios were recommended for study that were intended to support the identification and evaluation of grade separation alternatives. On November 29, 2017, the draft Rail Corridor Circulation Study White Paper, containing the outcomes of those studies, was presented to the City Council Rail Committee. As a result, the City Council Rail Committee requested the following modifications to the White Paper: Fix the analysis of closing Churchill Avenue Add a scenario including closures of the four at-grade crossings Evaluate modeling a closure at Palo Alto Avenue Utilize Stanford General Use Permit (GUP) data Continue the bicycle and pedestrian discussion to a future meeting Develop a seventh scenario including: o Separation of the existing four at-grade crossing o Updated data including Stanford GUP data o Updated Churchill Avenue data Develop an eight scenario with the only change being closing Churchill Avenue. City of Palo Alto Page 4 The attached revised white paper includes the following modifications in response to the Committee review and public comments/questions: White paper was combined with the Existing Conditions and the Model Validation reports into one document with a new Executive Summary; Responses to comments from the public were incorporated into the model update, additional model runs, and revised white paper; Model loading and validation issues at Churchill Avenue and Palo Alto Avenue were fixed; Data from Stanford GUP Application traffic study was incorporated; New traffic counts (November 2017) replaced the February 2017 counts, which were done during a non-standard school week; The City’s CUBE model was refined to better fit the latest traffic count data using the MEOD process within the CUBE suite of computer programs (the refined model shows a much better degree of fit to counted traffic volumes at key intersections along Alma Street); and Carried out an operational (Synchro) analysis with the November 2017 traffic data set, which showed that with that data set there was a slight deterioration in the intersection levels-of- service for less than one third of the intersections, as compared the analyses using the February 2017 traffic data set. The following modifications were not completed at this time, but can be incorporated into future studies if/as desired: Run all six (6) scenarios again with validated model and new data; Run new Scenario 7 with existing conditions plus Churchill Avenue crossing closed to motor vehicles; or Run new Scenario 8 with all at-grade crossings separated, including Churchill Avenue. Like the other white papers we’ve prepared about local financing methods and trenching/tunneling issues, this white paper is intended to support community discussions and City Council deliberations about rail grade separation alternatives and will be supplemented with additional in-depth analysis when four to eight grade-separation alternatives are advanced to the alternatives analysis phase of the process. The high-level conclusions in the Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study White Paper are similar to those of the draft paper. As this study represents a very high-level analysis, it is not anticipated that any of the conclusions drawn from the draft paper would change if/when the validated model and the November 2017 traffic count data were to be used for Year 2030 model runs. Timeline The initial Rail Corridor Circulation Study model runs are complete and the draft paper has been revised to reflect many of the comments received from the Rail Committee and the public. Additional model runs are anticipated as part of the in depth analysis of alternatives selected for further study. Resource Impact Funding for the Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study is included in the Fiscal Year 2018 Adopted Capital Budget in CIP PL-17001, Railroad Grade Separation. Policy Implications City of Palo Alto Page 5 The Revised Rail Corridor Circulation Study is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan goals, policies and programs: Program T1.19.3 Increase the number of east-west pedestrian and bicycle crossings across Alma Street and the Caltrain corridor, particularly south of Oregon Expressway. Policy T-3.13 Work with Caltrans, Santa Clara County and VTA to improve east and west connections in Palo Alto and maintain a circulation network that binds the city together in all directions. Policy T-3.15 Pursue grade separation of rail crossings along the rail corridor as a City priority. Program T3.15.1 Undertake studies and outreach necessary to advance grade of Caltrain to become a “shovel ready” project and strongly advocate for adequate State, regional and federal funding for design and construction of railroad grade separations. Program T3.15.2 Conduct a study to evaluate the implications of grade separation on bicycle and pedestrian circulation. Policy T-3.16 Keep existing at-grade rail crossings open to motor vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, consistent with results of a focused circulation study and a context sensitive alternatives analysis. Policy T-3.17 Until grade separation is completed, improve existing at-grade rail crossings to ensure the highest feasible level of safety along the corridor and provide additional safe, convenient crossings. Program T3.17.1 Complete a Palo Alto Avenue crossing study to identify potential near-term safety and accessibility improvements. Program T3.17.2 Work with Caltrain to ensure that the rail tracks are safe and secure with adequate fencing and barriers. Policy T-4.1 Keep all neighborhood streets open as a general rule. Policy T-4.3 Identify specific improvements that can be used to discourage drivers from using local, neighborhood streets to bypass traffic congestion on arterials. Environmental Review The Rail Corridor Circulation Study is a planning study and thus is not a “project” requiring environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The report covers three (3) major elements: Existing Conditions; the Travel Demand Model that was used for a large part of the analyses, and the outcomes of six (6) sample scenarios of possible alternative combinations of treatments and infrastructure proposals for the Caltrain crossings. The study area is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 - Study Area Map The Existing Conditions section of the report includes a description of the Study Area which encompasses the Northwest/Southeast Caltrain corridor through the City of Palo Alto, and is approximately four (4) miles in length. The focus of the report is the half-mile area centered around the rail corridor with specific consideration of the four (4) existing at-grade crossings – Palo Alto Avenue; Churchill Avenue; Meadow Drive and Charleston Road. There are three (3) Caltrain Stations within the city -- Palo Alto; California Avenue and Stanford; the latter being an events- related station only. The major arterial that runs parallel to the rail line is Alma Street. There are also (4) four motor vehicle grade-separated crossings. These are University Avenue; Embarcadero; Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Road; the latter only being partially in the City of Palo Alto. Major Northwest/Southeast routes through the city and parallel to the Caltrain tracks include U.S. Highway 101; Interstate 280 and El Camino Real. In terms of commute percentage modes, the City of Palo Alto has over 15 percent (%) less car use and over 10 percent (%) more bicycle and pedestrian use than Santa Clara County. It is forecast DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 2 that the current bicycle use which was at 9.2 percent (%) of all modes in 2015, will rise to 15 percent (%) by 2020. The Existing Conditions report also describes the Policy Framework; Caltrain and other transit Operations; road traffic operations and safety; land use demographics and bicycle and pedestrian networks. The Caltrain two-way service currently peaks at 10 trains per hour through the city. For the four (4) hour peak periods however, the average is approximately six (6) for the AM and seven (7) for the PM. The worst congestion is caused when the highest peak traffic flows coincide with the highest frequency of rail-gate closures. Peak occurrences of both conditions do not necessarily coincide at the at-grade crossings either by time or location, and are spread over the peak periods. To capture all the impacts, the Demand Model uses an average hour for each of the four (4) hour peak periods, AM and PM. The overall current traffic conditions for the rail crossings average to a level-of-service E, with Palo Alto Avenue and Charleston Road reaching a level-of-service F in the PM peak hour. For the times in the peak hours when the traffic signals cycle do not include a rail-gate closure, the level-of-service of the crossing routes intersecting with Alma Street range from C-D. The Travel Demand Model Validation section of the report deals with the methodology employed for the traffic impact appraisals within the circulation studies. There are two (2) parts to the appraisal process. The first part estimates the likely impacts on road traffic behavior generated by the various alternative sample scenarios in terms of growth in demand and the route diversion effects. The second part carries out a more detailed assessment of the traffic operational issues at the individual road intersections involved. In combination, these two (2) types of appraisals can provide a comprehensive measure of the impacts of alternative layouts and treatments of the Caltrain crossing facilities. A Demand Model, the City’s own CUBE travel demand model, was the basis of the analyses. The process, therefore, has compatibility with other similar exercises, such as evaluating the transportation elements of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The first step in the process is to carry out a validation of the base model against observations. This is a way of assessing how the model can be used most beneficially. The City’s model is very large, covering the Peninsula and parts of the Bay area. Large models, unless used in special locations (such as rural areas with sparse road networks) are seldom reliable for traffic volume estimates at individual street level or for intersection turning movements. The validation process is not a “pass or fail” exercise; it is done to allow a judgment on how the model may be best used in the appraisal. Model validations showed that the City’s base model could not be used alone for the full appraisal. For the forecasts, the process used a combination of the model forecasts and the traffic count data to estimate future traffic volumes. A second model was subsequently calibrated to local count data along the Caltrain corridor in the City. This second model process used count data from the most recent survey carried out in November 2017, and data from the Stanford General Use Permit application. The volumes and local distribution of the trips within the base model were refined to reflect the local traffic conditions as quantified by the traffic surveys. A second validation was then carried out that showed a better fit for the second model. However, further use of the latest model did not proceed and the results contained in this white paper for forecasts rely on the original model. This model and the process used for forecasting are perfectly adequate for the analysis at this stage. The updated model may be used for a more locally focused analysis at a later stage in the project. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 3 The model was then used to estimate the impacts of the 2030 future year “No Build 1 and 2” conditions and six (6) separate sample scenarios. The method used does not rely on the CUBE Model alone, but combines the forecasts with the locally counted data. This method is called “the Difference Method” and is fully described in Section 6.3 of the “National Cooperative Highway Research Program – Report 765: Analytical Travel Forecasting Approaches for Project-Level Planning and Design.” It is an industry standard method and has been used throughout the San Francisco/San Jose region. The initial modeling used traffic count data from February 2017. A second set of traffic count data was collected in November 2017 as a verification process. This second data set showed a slightly higher traffic volume for some of the movements. An existing year analysis was carried out to measure the changes between the two (2) data sets. It was found to be marginal only. The conclusions within the report rely on the February 2017 traffic count data and the original travel demand model. It is not considered that using the second model and the November 2017 data set for traffic counts would significantly alter the conclusion. This appraisal was not intended to select any one layout of alternative treatments of the Caltrain crossings. It was intended to provide decision makers with an informational background as to the likely impacts of selecting a “short list” of scenarios for a more detailed analysis. It is essentially a high-level planning study. The six (6) sample scenarios are a “generic” selection from an almost infinite number of possibilities. They range from almost a complete closure of all the at-grade crossing points (minimum access) to a scenario where every at-grade crossing is grade separated apart from Churchill Avenue (maximum access). In all 2030 tests described (As “No Build 2” and Sample Scenarios 1-6), the train/gate closure frequency was assumed to be 20/hour for the total of two- way operations. The appraisal showed that although six (6) scenarios is only a fraction of the vast number of possible combinations and permutations that exist for different layouts of crossings in the City, the tests completed provide a reasonable picture of the likely outcomes of making different decisions on the rail-crossing layouts. In general, the outcomes of the tests are intuitive. As traffic demand grows and the capacity of the at-grade crossings reduce due to increased rail gate closures, those crossings that remain at grade shed traffic to either the existing grade-separated crossings or any that will be newly constructed as grade separated. If grade-separated crossings were to be constructed at a location where there was previously an at-grade crossing, then some traffic would be attracted to that route from other routes, including from existing grade-separated crossings. The extent to which this may happen in terms of additional traffic volumes varies. Charleston Road is particularly likely to experience significant additional traffic attraction, if it is grade separated. This is unsurprising as Charleston Road, together with Arastradero Road, form one of the few easy connecting routes between the I-280 and U.S. Highway 101. The minimum access scenario test is likely to divert out of the City the 15 percent (%) growth in traffic demand from 2017 to 2030, diverting the remaining traffic from the routes that are closed to those that are grade separated. The maximum access test (Sample Scenario 6) showed that an additional 5-plus percent (%) of traffic crossing the Caltrain tracks in the City was likely to be attracted over and above the “No Build 2” scenario. The table below was constructed to provide a summary assessment of the likely DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 4 effects of the different proposals for the at-grade treatments derived from the results of the model analyses. Table 1: Response of the at-grade intersections to change Remain at-grade Closed Grade-separated Palo Alto Avenue / Alma Street Little effect Sheds traffic to Ravenswood Avenue and University Avenue Significantly increases traffic flows. (~30%) Churchill Avenue Little effect Diversion to Embarcadero Road, which if widened could operate satisfactorily. It is suspected that there would be little effect on other grade crossings, if other separations are implemented. Could attract some traffic . E/W Meadow Drive As traffic grows, will shed to Oregon Expressway and Charleston Road (if grade separated). Diversion to Charleston Road; significant if Charleston Road is grade- separated. Significantly increases traffic flows. (~50%) Charleston Road As traffic grows, will shed to San Antonio Road. Not tested but likely to either shed significant traffic to San Antonio Road or reduce traffic overall. Significant increases to traffic flows (50+%). Some diverts from San Antonio Road. Note: If the Caltrain tracks were to be in tunnel or entrenched throughout the City, the responses would be similar to all four (4) at-grade intersections becoming grade separated. The second part of the appraisal of the sample scenarios was to carry out traffic operational analyses at the key individual intersections within the Caltrain rail corridor. In total, 13 intersections were analyzed, between two (2) and four (4) on each of the currently at- grade crossing routes. The 2030 forecast flows were estimated by the addition of the February 2017 traffic survey counts and the growth forecast by the Demand Model. A comparison of the February 2017 and November 2017 analyses for existing conditions show very little change in the outcomes. Almost seventy-five percent (75%) showed the same level-of- service and of those that did change, in almost every case only a deterioration of one (1) level resulted. This means that although at a detailed level there could be a slight underestimation of the severity of congestion in less than one third of cases, the overall picture remains the same irrespective of which traffic count data set is used. The operational analyses were carried out under two (2) future conditions at the intersections: First, when there were rail gate closures in some of the traffic signal cycles (for an overall average condition) and second, when no gate closures were assumed to be in the signal cycle. For the first condition, the levels-of-service were only estimated at the actual crossings for a “No Build 2” scenario (e.g., if no infrastructure changes were made to any of the crossings but the train/gate closure frequency grew to 20 per hour). The average condition at the at-grade crossings for both peak hours (AM and PM) would be level-of-service F. It is estimated that the queues for many of the movements would be unclearable, a condition where a greater volume of traffic joins the queue than is released through the intersections for a given traffic signal cycle. The queue accumulates with time until either the traffic demand and/or the frequency of the rail gate closure reduces and the operational capacity is increased. Condition Location DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Executive Summary Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 5 The second part of the analyses was to assess operating conditions at the intersections, without assuming a rail gate closure occurred in the traffic signal cycle. This showed that where a grade- separated intersection was assumed constructed, resulting in an increase in traffic demand, the level-of-service for all the intersections on that route would deteriorate. For those crossing routes that remain at-grade, it is likely that the intersections will operate at level- of-service F for the times when there is a rail gate-closure. However, that may also have the effect of discouraging drivers from using that route. This would mean the level-of-service may improve for the times when no gate closure occurred. Train frequencies of 20 per hour in peak periods by 2030 substantially increases the likelihood of a traffic signal cycle that includes a gate closure. Due to the random nature of both traffic demand intensity and rail gate closures, very serious delays and traffic disruptions are likely to occur. For those routes that do have future grade separations, where none exists today, increased traffic flows are likely to occur and thus the level-of-service at the intersections, if unmodified, on that route may deteriorate. A variety of bicycle and pedestrian measures were tested within the sample scenarios. Two (2) grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian-only facilities currently exist at Homer Avenue and California Avenue. Future potential grade separated bicycle/pedestrian-only crossings were tested at Everett Avenue/Lytton Avenue; Churchill Avenue (close proximity to); Loma Verde Avenue/Arastradero Creek and Meadow Drive (close proximity to). Accessibility mapping was used to measure the impact for the different layout configurations in the sample scenarios. The results showed that where an existing at-grade crossing is assumed closed to all modes, then the bicycle/pedestrian accessibility across the Caltrain tracks would be seriously reduced. Currently, there is a significant gap between Oregon Expressway and Meadow Drive. If all the proposed bicycle/pedestrian grade-separations are implemented (whether as an all mode facility or just for bicycles and pedestrians) then the level of accessibility across the Caltrain track would be very high. In terms of Road Safety, between 2011 and 2015, a total of 88 accident collisions were recorded of which 32 involved injury and one (1) fatality. Although it may depend on the actual designs of improvements to the at-grade crossings, new construction is likely to reduce this considerably.

Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management vi DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management vii 1 Introduction The City of Palo Alto (referred to as the “City”) is preparing for increases in passenger rail service along the existing Caltrain rail corridor and potential impacts to existing at-grade crossings associated with service increases. Passenger rail service changes will be a result of the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) and potentially the California High-Speed Rail (HSR) project. The City of Palo Alto is bisected by the Caltrain rail corridor and enjoys both the benefits as well as the impacts associated with rail service: train noise and vibration, traffic congestion around grade crossings, and community safety concerns. These impacts are expected to grow as train service in the corridor increases regardless of whether or not the state’s HSR project comes to fruition. As a result, the City is conducting a study to assess grade separation alternatives and minimize the impact of increased rail services on local traffic, the basis of which is referred to as the “Rail Program” throughout this document. In 2010, the City Council initiated the Palo Alto Rail Corridor Study to evaluate land use, transportation, and urban design elements of the rail corridor, particularly in response to potential improvements to passenger rail service on the Caltrain corridor. The study report, as a result of a two-year process, includes an analysis of those elements and their potential impacts from the range of possible rail improvements, including Caltrain upgrades, such as electrification and/or grade separations, and/or the potential options for the HSR project1. In early 2014, the City conducted a study for conceptual grade separation alternatives for a portion of the Caltrain right-of-way encompassing three existing at-grade crossings: Charleston Road, Meadow Drive, and Churchill Avenue2. This study provided preliminary information on the potential impacts and costs of construction (by order of magnitude) for various roadway depression and trenching of the railroad alternatives. A railroad trench alternative would place the railroad tracks and rail operations below street-level, thus separating train traffic from motor vehicles, pedestrian, and bicyclist activity at the street-level. The study was not definitive in determining an ultimate configuration, but provided a starting point for dialogue on the issue, and indicated that roadway depression alternatives would require significant property acquisitions, while trenching alternatives would not. The study also concluded that while not all of the roadway depressions could maintain turning movements along Alma Street, the trenching alternatives could do so. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this Existing Conditions report is to examine the current conditions relevant to the Palo Alto Rail Corridor Circulation Study. This report includes sections on the policy framework for the Palo Alto Rail Program, overview of the study area, bike and pedestrian access, transportation networks, traffic conditions, and existing transit services in the City. 1 Palo Alto Rail Corridor Study, 2013 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/38025 2 Palo Alto Grade Separation and Trenching Study, 2014 https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/44211 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 8 2 Policy Framework The City of Palo Alto is the lead agency for the Rail Program, and as such this section summarizes City policies that govern the Rail Corridor Circulation Study. The purpose of this review is to ensure that the Circulation Study is consistent with existing and planned future transportation and development policies and strategies. 2.1 Palo Alto Policies The Circulation Study process builds upon the City’s previous planning efforts to accommodate future transit growth along the existing Caltrain corridor, brought about by the California High- Speed Rail (HSR) project, the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP), and the growing population of the San Francisco Bay Area. Existing plans, policies, and guidelines set the foundation for the corridor planning process and the development of an implementable document. Key City documents include the Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan, the Palo Alto Climate Protection Plan, the City of Palo Alto Municipal Code, the Rail Corridor Study, and the Transportation Element of the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan. The Rail Corridor Study was developed by the Rail Corridor Task Force to generate a community vision for land use, transportation, and urban design opportunities along the Caltrain corridor. This policy document was incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan in 2013 and provides land use and transportation policies under a variety of scenarios. It is the intention of this study to build on the outcomes of the Rail Corridor Study. 2.1.1 Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan – Transportation Element The City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan was last revised in 2007 and is currently in the process of being updated. It is the primary document guiding the City’s planning decisions. The Transportation Element of the existing Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan includes 10 goals to guide the development of the City’s transportation programs and facilities (see Table 2-1). A total of 57 policies and 58 programs are identified in the current Comprehensive Plan’s transportation chapter to further focus and carry out these goals. Table 2-1: Summary of Transportation Goals from Comprehensive Plan Goal Number Transportation Goals Goal T-1 Less reliance on Single-Occupant Vehicles Goal T-2 A convenient, efficient public transit system that provides a viable alternative to driving Goal T-3 Facilities, services, and programs that encourage and promote walking and bicycling Goal T-4 An efficient roadway network for all users Goal T-5 A transportation system with minimal impact on residential neighbourhoods Goal T-6 A high level of safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists on Palo Alto Streets Goal T-7 Mobility for people with special needs Goal T-8 Attractive, convenient public and private parking facilities Goal T-9 An influential role in shaping and implementing regional transportation decisions Goal T-10 A local airport with minimal off-site impacts Source: City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan 2007 The updated plan, Our Palo Alto 2030 Comprehensive Plan, will carry over and update the current plan’s transportation goals and include an emphasis on reducing congestion. Related to DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 9 this study, the new Comprehensive Plan will include a policy supporting Caltrain modernization and a policy identifying grade separations as a city priority. Figure 2-1: City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan – Bikeways in Palo Alto Source : City of Palo Alto, Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element Draft 2017 2.1.2 Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan The Palo Alto 2012 Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP 2012) was adopted in July 2012 and builds upon the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan by adding coverage of pedestrian issues, priorities, and design standards. The BPTP 2012 contains the policy vision, design guidance, and specific recommendations to increase walking and biking rates over the next decade and beyond – rates that will be instrumental in helping to address the impacts of regional growth while maintaining mobility. Objective One in the BPTP 2012 aims to “double the rate of bicycling for both local and total work commutes by 2020 (to 15 percent and 5 percent, respectively.)” This objective supports Goals T-1 and T-3 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Objective Four, which aims to “plan, construct, and maintain ‘Complete Streets’ that are safe and accessible to all modes and people of all ages and abilities,” supports and expands Goal T- 3 of the City’s current Comprehensive Plan. 2.1.3 Palo Alto Climate Protection Plan The City of Palo Alto adopted a Climate Protection Plan (CPP) in December 2007. The City then updated the mid-term and long-term Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals for both municipal and community-wide GHG emissions in 2010. Overall GHG emissions in 2013 within the City were estimated to have decreased 29 percent from 2005 levels, which exceeds the City’s goal of 15 percent reduction below 2005 levels by 2020. The CPP contains a range of goals and actions that target GHG emissions reductions from the transportation sector, including measures to promote alternative fuels, facilitate increased biking and walking, increase mass transit availability, and encourage electronic alternatives to travel. In 2015, the City began the preparation of a Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) and adopted a DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 10 new GHG reduction goal of 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2030, otherwise referred to as the “80x30” goal. 2.1.4 Palo Alto Municipal Code The purpose of the City’s Municipal Code is to protect and promote the public’s health and safety through ordinances and regulations. Title 10 regulates vehicle and traffic operations within the City, including traffic-control devices, pedestrian safety, bicycling safety and routes, and general vehicle and traffic safety. For example, chapter 10.32 establishes pedestrian safety regulations, such as the establishment and appropriate usage of crosswalks. Chapter 10.36 addresses general parking regulations, such as where parking is permitted. 2.1.5 Safe Routes to School The Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Program is a collaborative effort between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD). Its goal is to improve safety for school commuters and to reduce school commute-related congestion on city streets. Approximately 14 percent of Palo Alto’s students walk to school daily, while 4,000 students from the PAUSD bike to school, as shown in Figure 2-2. The program is consistent with key transportation goals outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, including giving priority to facilities, services, and programs that encourage and promote walking and bicycling, and providing a high level of safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Specific policies and programs include3: ● Policy T-14: Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to and between local destinations, including public facilities, schools, parks, open space, employment districts, shopping centers, and multi-modal transit stations. ● Policy T-39: To the extent allowed by law, continue to make safety the first priority of citywide transportation planning. ● Policy T-40: Continue to prioritize the safety and comfort of children on school travel routes. This includes program T-45, which calls for providing adult crossing guards at school crossings that meet adopted criteria, and T-46, which encourages the City-sponsored bicycle education programs in the public schools. The SRTS Program produced 18 Walk and Roll maps that outline suggested bicycle and pedestrian paths around a one-mile radius of a school within PAUSD. Among the 18 Walk and Roll Maps, four maps designate suggested routes that cross two of the four identified at-grade crossings within the Study Area. These four Walk and Roll Maps are: ● Briones Elementary School 3 https://paloaltocityca.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=30&ID=9461&MeetingID=2088 Figure 2-2: Safe Routes to School Statistics Source: City of Palo Alto, Safe Routes to School DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 11 ● Gunn High School ● Hoover Elementary School ● Terman Middle School All four maps for the above schools suggest routes that cross both Meadow Drive and Charleston Road railroad crossings, and crossing guards are assigned to these locations to help ensure the safety of students and guardians on their routes to school. An example of one of the Walk and Roll maps is shown in Figure 2-3. Figure 2-3: Walk and Roll Map Example – Hoover Elementary School The SRTS Program includes an ongoing, year-round program with both engineering and programmatic elements. A timeline of recently completed and upcoming infrastructure projects, as they relate to the four aforementioned schools, is presented in Table 2-2.

DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 13 3 Study Area The study area is defined as the half-mile area centered around the rail corridor in the City, including the four existing at-grade crossings. The rail corridor in the City spans approximately four miles in length, and includes three train stations: Palo Alto Station, Stanford Station, and California Ave Station. The major arterial that runs parallel to the rail line is Alma Street. There are five existing grade separations in the City, including University Ave, Homer Ave (bike/ pedestrian undercrossing), Embarcadero Road, Oregon Expressway, and California Ave (bike/ pedestrian undercrossing), and a portion of the San Antonio Road separation touches the City boundary as well. The study area map is shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1: Study Area Map 3.1 Land Use The existing land uses within the study area are shown in Figure 3-2. The updated Comprehensive Plan will focus on ensuring that public services can adequately serve new housing development and that sufficient land for neighborhood-serving retail uses is preserved. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 14 Figure 3-2: Overall Land Use Map 3.2 Demographics The City of Palo Alto is located in the northwest portion of Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area. The community is largely residential with sizeable employment in the management, business, science, and arts industries. Approximately 65 percent of residents commute to work by driving alone and almost six percent of residents take transit. In comparison, 76 percent of Santa Clara County residents commute by driving alone and less than four percent of residents take transit, as detailed in Table 3-1. The City is one of the most bike-friendly cities in the nation, and this is reflected in the rate of residents who use bicycles as their primary commute mode. Over nine percent of Palo Alto residents commute locally by bicycle currently, and the BPTP 2012 seeks to increase this rate to 15 percent by 2020 under the plan’s Objective One.

An at-grade crossing is an intersection of a roadway or path and a railroad at the same level, as opposed to the railroad crossing over or under via a bridge or tunnel. Information included in the following sections was sourced from the February 2016 Caltrain Grade Crossing Hazards Analysis. 3.3.1 Palo Alto Avenue The Palo Alto Avenue at-grade crossing is the northernmost crossing within the City. Palo Alto Avenue is a minor two-lane collector street that connects El Camino Real (State Route 82) with Alma Street. The Palo Alto Avenue approach is stop-sign controlled at Alma Street, just east of the railroad. Palo Alto Avenue extends northwest of Alma Street as an at-grade crossing over the railroad tracks, and extends west to connect to form a signalized intersection at El Camino Real/Sand Hills Road approximately 300 feet west of the railroad crossing. The Palo Alto segment through the railroad crossing has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and a sidewalk/pedestrian path on the north side of the road. Class II bike lanes are on-street marked bike lanes for the exclusive use of bicycles. Currently, Palo Alto Avenue carried an average weekday traffic volume of approximately 16,200 vehicles and 550 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-2.

Figure 3-4: Palo Alto Avenue Grade Crossing Land Use 3.3.2 Churchill Avenue Churchill Avenue is an east-west local collector street that provides a connection between El Camino Real (State Route 82) and Embarcadero Road, through Old Palo Alto. The roadway has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks. Within the vicinity of the Churchill Avenue crossing, Churchill Avenue forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop- controlled) at Mariposa Avenue. The Churchill Avenue/Alma Street intersection is an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. In 2015, the City of Palo Alto, Caltrain, Caltrans Rail Division, and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) met to review the Churchill Avenue crossing to determine possible funding of safety improvements through the Federal Section 130 funds. Currently, Churchill Avenue carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 9,200 vehicles and 1,020 bicycles per day Figure 3-5: Churchill Avenue At-Grade Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 17 across the at-grade crossing4.

Meadow Drive is an east-west local street/collector that provides local connection between El Camino Way and Louis Road, through the south-central part of the City. The roadway has a general two-lane cross-section, with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks. Within the vicinity/influence of the Meadow railroad crossing, Meadow Drive forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop-controlled) at Park Boulevard, Wilkie Way, and Ramona Street. The Meadow Drive/Alma Street intersection is an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. Currently, Meadow Drive carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 8,900 vehicles and 900 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing of the railroad. Weekday pedestrian and bicycle volumes for this crossing are summarized in Table 3-4.

The roadway has a general four-lane cross- section with left-turn channelization at key intersections. Through the crossing of the railroad, Charleston Road has a four-lane undivided section with Class II bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides. The crossing is provided with crossing/gate appurtenances and marked for 25 mph speed limit. Within the vicinity/influence of the railroad crossing, Charleston Road forms a signalized intersection with Alma Street, and unsignalized intersections (i.e. side-street stop-controlled) at Park Boulevard, Wilkie Way and Wright Place. The Charleston Road/Alma Street intersection is Figure 3-9: Charleston Road At-Grade Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 20 an existing at-grade signalized intersection located within close proximity (less than 50 feet) from the railroad crossing, and as such represents the key intersection that influences at-grade railroad crossing operations. In 2013, Charleston Road carried an average weekday traffic of approximately 17,900 vehicles and 240 bicycles per day across the at-grade crossing of the railroad5.

The immediate surrounding area around Charleston Road crossing is predominantly residential, similar to the area surrounding the Meadow Drive railroad crossing. It should be noted that approximately half a mile north from the crossing is the Magical Bridge Playground, Mitchell Park, and the Mitchell Park Library, which could attract traffic from beyond the immediate 5Grade Crossing Hazard Analysis Final Report, Caltrain, 2016 Figure 3-10: Charleston Road Crossing Land Use Map DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 21 surroundings. 3.4 Grade-Separated Crossings There are eight existing or planned grade-separated crossings along the rail corridor within the Study Area. This section describes the existing and future grade-separated crossings and serves to provide context on rail improvements in the corridor to illustrate what has been accomplished to date and what could be done in the future to improve safety and operability. ○ Everett Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ University Avenue – Existing grade separation ○ Homer Avenue – Existing bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ Embarcadero Road – Existing grade separation ○ Seale Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian crossing ○ California Avenue – Existing bicycle/pedestrian undercrossing ○ Oregon Expressway – Existing grade separation ○ Loma Verde Avenue – Planned bicycle/pedestrian crossing ○ San Antonio Road – Existing grade separation DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 22 3.4.1 Everett Avenue The planned grade separation of Everett Avenue would connect Quarry Road (at the north end of the Stanford University campus) with the Bryant Street bicycle boulevard and the Palo Alto Caltrain Station. Everett Avenue is one of 15 priority crossings identified by the Palo Alto Rail Task Force. The Palo Alto 2012 BPTP identified opportunities to improve linkages to services and enhance the bicycle and pedestrian connections. The resulting improvements that were proposed include installing additional traffic circles and wayfinding improvements along Everett Avenue to designate it as a “complete” bicycle boulevard. Bicycle boulevards are signed, shared roadways with low vehicle volume which prioritize convenient and safe bicycle travel through the use of traffic calming strategies. Currently, the lack of a grade-separated crossing somewhat isolates the El Camino Park, shown in Figure 3-11 from the Downtown North neighborhoods in Palo Alto. The nearest railroad crossings are the Palo Alto Avenue grade crossing to the north and the University Avenue grade-separated crossing to the south. By implementing a grade-separated crossing at Everett Avenue, there could be opportunities to provide connections between the Park, the surrounding communities, Stanford University, the Stanford University Medical Center, and the Stanford Shopping Center. Pedestrian and bicycle access will most likely be accomplished through a grade-separated underpass where vehicles would be prohibited. Coordination between the City, Caltrain, Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, and other agencies would be required to implement this project. 3.4.2 University Avenue The existing University Avenue grade-separated crossing allows for vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle connections between the commercial corridor along University Avenue to the Stanford University campus southwest of the rail line. Sidewalks under the tunnel are grade separated from the street to offer more protection to pedestrians and bicycles are permitted in the underpass alongside vehicles. The underpass was constructed in 1936 in response to public safety concerns. The intersection itself, shown in Figure 3-11: Everett Avenue Planned Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-12: University Avenue Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 23 Source: Google Earth 2016 Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-12, is complex due to the convergence of the multi-modal Palo Alto station, El Camino Real, and the gateway to both the university and Downtown Palo Alto. This station is a critical connection for transit vehicles and is served by VTA, SamTrans, and Stanford University Marguerite shuttles. The grade separation caters primarily to vehicular traffic, with four lanes and no Class II bicycle lanes, however there is adequate pedestrian access through the underpass and cyclists are permitted on University Avenue (Figure 3-13 and Figure 3-14). Currently, traffic volumes along University Avenue remain relatively manageable at 19,000 ADT. Opportunities exist to improve the underpass as “gateway” by enhancing wayfinding and placemaking strategies, as well as creating safer bicyclist and pedestrian passage through the underpass. 3.4.3 Homer Avenue Completed in 2005 for $4.1 million, the Homer Avenue underpass (Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16) connects Homer Avenue residential communities to the Embarcadero bike path that runs parallel to the Caltrain tracks. The pedestrian and bicycle underpass is a high- quality and fully accessible crossing. The Palo Alto Medical Foundation is also located west of the crossing, and thus the tunnel was designed with ramp users in mind (shown in Figure 3-17). There are minor opportunities for improvement, including increasing visibility from the tunnel and enhancing the safety of Alma Street crossings.

Its proximity to the Palo Alto High School, the Palo Alto School District, Stanford University, and neighborhood retail center, Town & Country Village, make it a popular route for pedestrian and bicycle traffic during peak hours. Currently, average daily traffic volumes can reach up to 25,000 vehicles per day. While commuters see the benefits of this safe railroad underpass, some pedestrian and vehicle conflicts in the Alma Street interchange remain. At this point, Alma Street transitions from a high-speed arterial to a neighborhood street. Source: Steven Grover & Associates Figure 3-18: Embarcadero Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 25 3.4.5 Seale Avenue The Seale Avenue grade-separated crossing was proposed by the BPTP 2012 to connect Peers Park with the northeastern neighborhoods and create a link between the east-west bikeways along Park Boulevard and Stanford Avenue across Caltrain. If established, the connection could trigger the implementation of Seale Avenue as a bicycle boulevard and further enhance safe access to the schools and parks along these routes. 3.4.6 California Avenue The California Avenue grade- separated pedestrian/bicycle underpass allows for access under the railroad just northwest of the California Avenue Caltrain Station (Figure 3-20). The existing tunnel is not ADA accessible and the tunnel itself is dark and narrow. Widening the tunnel and improving the tunnel lighting may increase visibility and meet ADA standards while potentially mitigating the risk of bicycle-pedestrian conflicts. 3.4.7 Oregon Expressway The existing Oregon Expressway grade separation, shown in Figure 3-21, allows for vehicular and bicycle crossings under both the railroad and Alma Street. The Oregon Expressway is a high-volume arterial currently carrying an average daily traffic volume of 31,000 vehicles per day, and the Alma Street interchange poses some minor pedestrian and vehicular conflicts. In addition, this particular underpass has been prone to flooding during rainy seasons due to issues with the drainage system. Figure 3-21: Oregon Expressway Grade Separation Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-20: California Ave Bike/Ped Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-19: Seale Ave Proposed Bike/Ped Crossing Source: Google Earth 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 26 Bicycles are permitted to travel through Oregon Expressway, but the fast-moving traffic along Oregon Expressway and the lack of Class II bicycle lanes within the 4- lane underpass may encourage bicyclists to seek an alternate route. 3.4.8 Loma Verde Avenue The planned pedestrian and bicycle underpass at Loma Verde Avenue is in its early conceptual phase. It is predominantly surrounded by residential uses. The intersection at Alma Street is unsignalized and crosswalks are not marked. The nearest railroad crossing is Meadow Drive to the south and Oregon Expressway to the north. Figure 3-24: Loma Verde Avenue Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-22: Oregon Expressway Underpass, Looking West Source: Google Earth 2016 Source: Google Earth 2016 Figure 3-23: Oregon Expressway Underpass, Looking East DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 27 3.4.9 San Antonio Road The San Antonio Road grade separation allows for vehicular travel over the railroad tracks. Most of the separation falls within the City of Mountain View; however, a portion of the San Antonio Road overpass falls within the City of Palo Alto, as shown in Figure 3-25. The San Antonio Caltrain Station lies less than 500 feet southeast of the crossing and is surrounded by a mix of commercial offices, educational facilities, and medium-density residential communities. Pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited on the San Antonio Road overpass; however, they may access the opposite side of the railroad tracks via the San Antonio Caltrain Station. The current high volume of average daily traffic, approximately 36,000 vehicles per day, may be intimidating to pedestrians and bicyclists on the surrounding streets. Opportunities exist to improve connectivity at this grade separation by adding a new bicycle crossing, although special attention should be paid to conflicts between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles in the area.

In 2016, Caltrain service carried 62,416 riders on an average weekday, which represented a 7.2 percent increase from 2015 ridership, an 83 percent increase since 2010, and a 161 percent increase compared to ridership in 2004. Most riders continue to travel during peak commute hours, with 9.6 percent increase from 29,143 riders in 2015 to 31,948 in 2016. Caltrain also saw a 3.8 percent growth in reverse peak riders, from 18,842 in 2015 to 19,564 in 2016. Since 2010, Caltrain has experienced significant ridership growth, as seen in Figure 4-2. Caltrain currently operates 92 weekday trains, 36 Saturday trains, and 32 Sunday trains. Palo Alto has two Caltrain stations that operate seven days per week: the Palo Alto station is located at 95 University Avenue, and the California Avenue station is located at 101 California Avenue. Additionally, there is a station at 100 Embarcadero Road for Stanford University football games only. There are a total of 42 rail and highway at-grade crossings between Mission Bay Drive (San Francisco) on the north and Virginia Ave (San Jose) on the south. Caltrain operations are summarized below.

The Caltrain schedule for trains stopping at the Palo Alto and California Ave Stations during in the northbound and southbound directions is included in Appendix B – Caltrain Weekday Train Schedule. Palo Alto Caltrain Station The Palo Alto Caltrain Station provides 178 bike racks and indoor bicycle parking for up to 96 bikes at the Bikestation, which offers 24-hour key access, bike repairs, accessory sales, and a changing room. Paid parking is available for up to 389 vehicles. Service headways vary during the peak period with trains coming every 10-30 minutes, and Baby Bullet trains every 20-30 minutes; off-peak service is hourly. Transit connections from this station can be made to SamTrans (Lines ECR, 280, 281, 297, and 397), shuttles (Deer Creek, Stanford Marguerite, and Crosstown/ Embarcadero), and VTA (Routes 22, 35, 522, DB Express). The Palo Alto Station has the second highest Caltrain ridership, following San Francisco, accounting for 11.9 percent in 2016. Figure 4-3: Palo Alto Caltrain Station Source: Jeremiah Cox, 2014 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 31 California Avenue Caltrain Station The California Ave Caltrain Station provides 33 bike racks, paid parking for up to 185 vehicles, and 42 bike lockers, although some lockers were removed recently as part of the California Avenue Streetscape Improvements Project. There was an average of 1,628 weekday passenger boardings at California Avenue Caltrain Station in February 2016, which represents an increase of 4.8 percent over the previous year in the same period.6 Passengers can connect to VTA bus route 89 at the station or walk ½-mile to El Camino Real to connect with VTA routes 22, 522, and the Dumbarton (DB) Express. Stanford Caltrain Station The Stanford Caltrain Station is located at Embarcadero Road and Alma Street, in between Palo Alto Station and California Ave Station, and is utilized only during Stanford football game days. There are two side platforms with pedestrian ramps leading below to Embarcadero Road. The Stanford Stadium is located within a ½-mile walk from the station platform. 4.2 Grade Crossing Inventory Checklist from Caltrain Hazard Analysis Caltrain produces inventory summaries of all rail crossings along their corridor.

New traffic signal equipment and roadway improvements will be constructed at Brewster Avenue in Redwood City, and Rengstorff Avenue and Castro Street in Mountain View. Electrical upgrades and improvements to the pedestrian crossing system will be constructed at Churchill Avenue and East Meadow Drive in Palo Alto. At all locations, the preemption interface between the grade crossing warning system and traffic signal control system will be upgraded to a new 10-wire preemption circuit to provide improved preemption safety at the grade crossings. The upgraded systems will provide increased capability to clear vehicle traffic and exchange information between systems, in addition to improving ADA access for pedestrians and normal traffic operation of the intersections. 4.3.2 CBOSS Positive Train Control System Caltrain has developed specifications for an enhanced Positive Train Control (PTC) system, referred to as Communications Based Overlay Signal System (CBOSS), which incorporate the essential functions of positive train separation, over-speed enforcement, and roadway worker protection, plus other capabilities specifically designed to improve grade crossing performance. CBOSS is a vital overlay of the existing wayside signal system, providing a transition from Caltrain’s Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) block signal system. In addition, CBOSS will allow Caltrain to reduce the peak minimum operating headway to five minutes, greatly increasing system capacity. CBOSS is specified to be compliant with the requirements of the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and all relevant regulations provided by 49 CFR 236. Furthermore, Caltrain is participating in discussions with the interchanging railroads to achieve a PTC system solution that is interoperable with freight operator systems. Caltrain has been working to implement PTC on its corridor for several years to achieve the resulting safety and performance benefits. CBOSS will prevent over-speed-related derailments and collisions between trains under normal “signaled moves”. When PTC enforcement cannot be sustained, CBOSS provides contingency operating modes that allow operations to be conducted with reduced risk by enabling the train engineer to revert to CTC operations through the temporary use of the wayside signals. CBOSS also provides a “Restricted Manual” operating mode to enhance safety when the wayside signal system is unable to display permissive signals. While in Restricted Manual mode, CBOSS enforces the Restricted Speed to ensure that collisions at elevated speed do not occur. The CBOSS system will provide a crossing inhibit function, whereby a train which is making a station stop will not activate the grade crossing warning system, including advance preemption, as the train is approaching the station with an enforced stop short of the crossing. The CBOSS system will then provide an operator initiated start to the crossing and traffic signal preemption circuits prior to departing the station. 4.3.3 Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP) would electrify the Caltrain Corridor from San Francisco’s 4th and King Station to the Tamien Station in San Jose, convert diesel-hauled to Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains, and increase service to up to six Caltrain trains per peak DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 34 hour per direction by 2021. Initially, service between San Francisco and San Jose would include a mixed fleet of EMU’s and diesel locomotives. Eventually diesel locomotives would be replaced with EMUs over time as they reach the end of their service life. Caltrain’s diesel- powered locomotive service would continue to be used to provide service between the San Jose Diridon and Gilroy stations. The PCEP will allow Caltrain to operate quieter, cleaner, more frequent train service to more riders. Increased capacity and improved service will help Caltrain meet increasing ridership demand. Estimated ridership increases for 2020 and 2040 are shown in Table 4-5. Table 4-5: Estimated Ridership with Proposed Caltrain Electrification Project Estimated Ridership with the Proposed Project 2013 2020 2040 Existing/No Project 47,000 57,000 84,000 With Project N/A 69,000 111,000 Source: Caltrain Ridership Technical Memorandum, 2014 4.3.4 PCEP Relation to the High-Speed Rail Project The electrification system envisioned for the corridor would be configured in such a way that it would support the future operation of California HSR. Twenty-five-kV, 60-Hz single-phase AC electrification would be the power supply system of choice for a steel-wheel-on-steel-rail high- speed train operation. The Caltrain corridor is currently only rated for a maximum of 79 mph and, thus, there would be a need for track and other system upgrades to support higher speeds than at present. The Proposed PCEP includes electrification infrastructure that would first be used by Caltrain and could later be used for high-speed trains. However, the proposed project does not include other improvements necessary for high-speed trains such as platform improvements, high-speed rail maintenance facilities, passing tracks or other Core Capacity projects. The proposed project does not include improvements to support speeds greater than 79 mph or high-speed rail operations on the Caltrain corridor at speeds up to 110 mph. High- speed rail construction and operations would be the subject of a later, separate environmental analysis to be conducted by CHSRA and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 35 5 Traffic Operational Analysis This section describes the existing intersection and roadway traffic operating conditions at the at-grade roadway crossings of the railroad, within the limits of the City of Palo Alto. 5.1 Vehicular Level of Service Methodology and Standards Level of service (LOS) is a qualitative description of vehicular traffic operating conditions ranging from LOS A, or free-flow conditions with little or no delay, to LOS F, or jammed conditions with excessive delays. The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) guidelines dictate the use of the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology to analyze intersections. The City of Palo Alto uses the same methodology to evaluate its intersections. The 2000 HCM operations method evaluates signalized intersection operations based on average control delay time for all vehicles at the intersection. Consistent with operations analysis software used in prior planning studies prepared for the railroad corridor (such as the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Plan Environmental Impact Report, Transportation Chapter, 2015) this study utilized Synchro/SimTraffic 8 software based implementation of the more current 2010 HCM methods for purposes of quantifying traffic operating conditions at the study intersections. Note that the Synchro/SimTraffic software is a widely-recognized software (including by agencies such as Caltrans) that is relatively more reliable for purposes of assessing operational characteristics of closely spaced intersections, including signalized intersections located in close proximity to at-grade railroad crossings. The City of Palo Alto LOS standard for signalized non-CMP intersections is LOS D or better. For CMP intersections, the City’s LOS standard is LOS E or better, meaning that only LOS F is considered unacceptable. The exception is the intersection of Foothill Expressway and Page Mill Road, which has a grade of LOS F and is considered acceptable by VTA. This is because it has operated at LOS F in the 1991 baseline conditions and thus the City of Palo Alto has not adopted the CMP standards for that particular intersection. The LOS definitions for signalized intersections are shown in table 5 , . Motor vehicle level of service D and E are typical at intersections in many urban areas where a high volume of vehicles pass through an intersection that is physically constrained by existing adjacent structures. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 36 Table 5-1: LOS Definition for Intersection Control Delay (sec/veh) LOS Description Signal Control 2-Way Stop or All-Way Stop Control A Signal progression is extremely favorable. Most vehicles arrive during the green phase and do not stop at all. Short cycle length may also contribute to the very low vehicle delay. 10.0 or less 0 – 10 B Operations characterized by good signal progression and/or short cycle lengths. More vehicles stop than LOS A, causing higher levels of average vehicle delay. 10.1 to 20.0 > 10 – 15 C Higher delays may result from fair signal progression and/or longer cycle lengths. Individual cycle failures may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant, though may still pass through the intersection without stopping. 20.1 to 35.0 > 15 – 25 D The influence of congestion become more noticeable. Longer delays may result from the same combination of unfavorable signal progression, long cycle lengths, or high V/C ratios. Many vehicle stops and individual cycle failures are not noticeable. 35.1 to 55.0 > 25 – 35 E This is considered the limit of acceptable delay. These high delay values generally indicate poor signal progression, long cycle lengths and high V/C ratios. Individual cycle failures occur frequently. 55.1 to 80.0 > 35 – 50 F This level of delay is considered unacceptable by most drivers. This condition often occurs without oversaturation, that is, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be major contributing causes of such delay levels. Greater than 80.0 > 50 Source: Transportation Research Board, 2000 and 2010 The LOS descriptions in table 5 are framed entirely from the perspective of motor vehicle drivers and their passengers. VTA’s Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines require the consideration of other modes of travel when recommending changes to improve an intersection’s motor vehicle level of service. Senate Bill 743 created a process to change the way that transportation impacts are analyzed under CEQA and requires an alternative LOS for evaluating transportation impacts. This is described in further detail in Appendix A — Federal, State and Regional Policy and Framework Review. 5.2 Significant Impact Criteria Significance criteria are used to establish what constitutes an impact at an intersection. The City of Palo Alto uses the same impact criteria as the CMP. A project is deemed to create a significant adverse impact on traffic conditions at a signalized intersection in the City of Palo Alto if for either peak hour: a. the level of service at the intersection degrades from an acceptable level of service (LOS D or better for non-CMP intersections, and LOS E or better for CMP intersections) to an unacceptable level of service; and b. the intersection is already operating at an unacceptable level of service (LOS E or F for non-CMP intersections and LOS F for CMP intersections), and the project causes both the average control delay for the critical movements at the intersection to increase by four or more seconds and the critical volume-to-capacity ratio (V/C) to increase by one percent (0.01) or more. For both CMP and non-CMP intersections, if an intersection is operating at an unacceptable level of service and the change in critical delay is negative (i.e., decreases), a significant impact DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 37 is said to occur if the project causes the V/C ratio to increase by 0.01 or more. This can occur if the critical movements at an intersection change. 5.3 Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis Criteria A traffic signal warrant analysis was also completed per criteria contained in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD, 2014 Edition, Chapter 4C). The peak- hour volume Warrant 3 (urban areas) analysis was completed as a representative warrant analysis to determine if “significance” should be associated with unsignalized operations. Other signal warrant criteria, including Warrant 9: Intersection Near a Grade Crossing, will also be evaluated for key study intersections where applicable. Note that the CA-MUTCD indicates that “the satisfaction of a traffic signal warrant or warrants shall not in itself require the installation of a traffic control signal.” 5.4 Traffic Count Data Intersection turning movement and vehicular traffic volume counts were collected by the City on Thursday, February 16, and November 30, 2017, under AM peak hour, mid-day peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions, at key study intersections along each of the at-grade crossing corridors. For the purposes of this study, AM peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 7:30 and 9:30 AM on a typical weekday, mid-day peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 2:30 and 4:30 PM on a typical weekday, and PM peak hour is defined as one hour of peak traffic flow between 4:30 and 6:30 PM on a typical weekday. The intersection traffic counts were obtained at a total of thirteen (13) study intersections listed as follows: 1. Charleston Road / Alma Street 2. Charleston Road / Park Blvd. 3. Charleston Road / Wilkie Way 4. Charleston Road / Wright Place 5. Meadow Drive / Alma Street 6. Meadow Drive / Park Blvd. 7. Meadow Drive / Wilkie Way 8. Meadow Drive / Ramona St. 9. Churchill Avenue / Alma Street 10. Churchill Avenue / Mariposa Ave. 11. Churchill Avenue / Madrono Ave. 12. Palo Alto Avenue / Alma Street 13. Palo Alto Avenue / El Camino Real Appendix C – Traffic Count Raw Data contains the raw traffic count data. For a graphical illustration of the existing traffic volumes at the study intersections, refer to Appendix D – Existing Traffic Turning Volumes. 5.4.1 Intersection Traffic Operations The Existing Conditions delay and LOS operations for study intersections for both survey data sets are summarized in Table 5-2. Note that this table summarizes traffic operating conditions under normal/typical operating conditions within the typical weekday AM, midday and PM peak hour periods at the study intersections when the railroad gates are “open”, meaning there is no railroad-related interruption of vehicular traffic flow on the roadway crossings. There was a possibility of some bias in the February traffic behavior and volume suggesting it was an DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 38 atypical day. To verify this, the traffic counting exercise was repeated at the same locations on November 30, 2017. In Table 5-3 and Table 5-4, the differences between the February data set and the November data set are set out in summary for the key intersections. The individual movement difference for the 13 intersections for both data sets are included in Appendix D. There could be a number of reasons for the differences. Firstly, there may have been a bias in the demand volumes in the February data, that in general show lower values than the November demand volumes. Secondly, with continued economic growth in this area, there may have been some growth in traffic demand between February and November during 2017. The PM peak hour, however, shows an overall 9.6% greater difference in volumes which tends to suggest a higher demand than either a normal daily variation or nine (9) months of demand growth would generate.

This was then used as the primary observed data set in all the analyses. Reviewing the results of the operational analyses in Table 5-2 for the key intersections (i.e., Alma Street with the rail crossing streets), shows that in terms of level-of-service the AM and PM peak hour drops from C to D, for Meadow Drive, but remain the same for all other intersections. Intersection Operations during Railroad-Related Signal Pre-emption Cycles: In Section 5.4.1 and Table 5-2, the road traffic signal operations are described that relate to the times when the rail gate is open The relationships between traffic volumes; traffic delays and queues and rail gate closure frequencies is a complex one. A description of the characteristics is set out below. The Caltrain schedule shows a morning highest peak of 10 trains an hour stopping at Palo Alto Station two way, stopping between 7:00 am and 8:00 am; but six (6) stopping between 6:00 am and 7:00 am and five (5) between 9:00 am and 10:00 am. For the evening peak again there are 10 trains scheduled between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm; but seven (7) between both 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm. The number of trains stopping at Palo Alto Station does not necessarily directly correlate with the number of gate closures as some single gate closures may accommodate a train in each direction. There are also trains that do not stop but pass through and cause rail gate closures. The best data source on gate closures came from the document “Caltrain: Grade Crossing Hazard Analysis – Final Report,” February 2016. The data showed all rail gate closures by time of day and duration for an average weekday. This shows a maximum number in any one hour of 10 in both the morning and evening peaks, but the average for the four (4)-hour peak periods is six (6) for the AM and seven (7) for the PM. The most congestion is caused when both the frequency of gate closures and traffic volumes peak at the same time. However, in Table 5-5, a comparison of peak traffic flow times with peak gate closure frequency is set out. What is clear is that although some “peaks” of both the DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 40 frequencies of gate closures and traffic volumes do coincide in time, many do not. Nor do the peak times coincide by location. Table 5-5 shows the peak hours for traffic flow crossing the Caltrain tracks and the peak hours for the frequency of gate closures. As can be seen, these vary by each item and location. Figure 5-1 depicts the situation at the Palo Alto Avenue rail crossing for westbound traffic. The blue line represents the frequency of gate closures; the green line the traffic volumes and the red line the length of highest queuing. These are normalized to compare these profiles. What can be seen is that when traffic volume and gate closure frequencies peak together, so does the queue length. Table 5-5: Peak Traffic Flow and Gate Closure Frequency Hours Location Item AM PM Palo Alto Ave EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 WB Traffic 11:00-12:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 8:00-9:00 6:00-7:00 Churchill Ave EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 3:00-4:00 WB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 7:00-9:00* 5:00-6:00 Meadow Dr EB Traffic 8:00-9:00 3:00-4:00 WB Traffic 8:00-9:00 5:00-6:00 Gate Closure 7:00-9:00* 5:00-7:00* Charleston Rd EB Traffic 8:15-9:15 3:30-4:30 WB Traffic 8:30-9:30 5:15-6:15 Gate Closure 7:00-8:00 6:00-7:00 Both hours have peak values. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 41 Figure 5-1: Train and WB Traffic Daily Pattern at Alma St and Palo Alto Ave Caltrain Crossing Coincidence of “peaking” is evident in the PM peak period, although even then not exactly (actual peak traffic demand is an hour earlier than peak gate closure frequency). However, it can be seen that in the AM peak period, the queues at 8:00 am are less than those at 12:00 pm. This is largely because the traffic demand is the dominant independent variable and is lower at 8:00 am than from 11:00 am onwards. In order to capture the impacts of all these different variations, the model takes an average condition over a four (4)-hour peak period from both AM and PM. The model is used to assess growth in demand and likely traffic diversion effects. For the more detailed hourly intersection operational analyses, an assumption of eight (8) railgate closures an hour is used. It is general practice not to design infrastructure to the very highest peak demand conditions but to normalize peak period conditions for design and evaluation purposes. In Table 5-6 the level-of-service for the actual rail crossing movements is shown for 2017. This is a “weighted” average of times when the rail gates are closed and when they are open.

Vehicle count data by type was not available for the Charleston Road segment west of Alma Street (Table 5-10). Meadow Drive showed the highest rate of truck traffic out of the three (3) available data sets of vehicle type counts despite not having the highest vehicle volume out of the three (3) intersections. Heavy trucks are not permitted on Churchill Avenue, which shows the lowest rate of truck volumes.

The Embarcadero Shuttle Operated by the Caltrain Commuter Shuttle Program, the Embarcadero Shuttle provides peak hour service between the University Avenue Caltrain Station and the Baylands Business Parks east of Highway 101/Embarcadero. Local schools and community facilities are also served along the route including Palo Alto High School and Castilleja School. The Embarcadero Shuttle runs approximately every 20 minutes, Monday through Friday from the Palo Alto Caltrain Station to the Embarcadero/Baylands during peak commute hours and is coordinated with the Caltrain schedule. The Crosstown Shuttle Operated by MV Transportation, Inc. and managed by the City of Palo Alto, the Crosstown Shuttle connects the University Avenue/Downtown to South Palo Alto at Charleston Road. The Crosstown Shuttle traverses several residential neighborhoods, schools, senior residences, libraries, recreation centers, and commercial districts helping to link public service areas within the community. A Special School run operates during the morning and afternoons to help encourage alternative transportation options for students. Marguerite Shuttle Operated by Stanford University, the Marguerite Shuttle service is free and open to the public. The main shuttle lines traverse the campus Monday through Friday all year (except university holidays). Evening and weekend services are available from mid-September to mid-June with Lines N, O, OCA, and Shopping Express. The Marguerite service to the Caltrain stations are made possible, in part, by grants from the BAAQMD Transportation Fund for Clean Air and the PCJPB. Local businesses and organizations also contribute financially to the service. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 52 7 Bicycle and Pedestrian Network 7.1 Overview In the 2000s, the City of Palo Alto released the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan, improvements through the Safe Routes to School program, and land use planning reforms, which all encouraged the creation of a bicycle and pedestrian friendly built environment. The existing Bicycle and Pedestrian network in the City is largely based on of the recommendations of the 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan. The existing bicycle network in the Study Area is shown in Figure 7-1. All four at-grade crossings are currently connected to roadways with bike lanes. Figure 7-1: Existing Bicycle Network within Study Area 7.2 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan The 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan (BPTP) updates the initiatives outlined in the 2003 Bicycle Transportation Plan and provides strategic guidance to the public and private non-motorized transportation investment in facilities and related programs. The Palo Alto BPTP not only reaffirms city-wide goals of increasing pedestrian and bicycle usage over the next decade (see Table 7-1), it also takes into account relevant City plans, surrounding community plans, and state and regional bicycle and pedestrian plans to create a larger picture. The Palo Alto BPTP includes five key objectives which are extensions of the transportation element of the City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan, to provide a focus on non-motorized DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 53 transportation modes. Each objective includes its rationale, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, key strategies of implementation and benchmarks to measure progress. Table 7-1: City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan Objectives Objectives 1. Double the rate of bicycling for both local and total work commutes by 2020 (to 15% and 5%, respectively). 2. Convert discretionary vehicle trips into walking and bicycling trips in order to reduce City transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 15% by 2020. 3. Develop a core network of shared paths, bikeways, and traffic-calmed streets that connects business and residential districts, schools, parks, and open spaces to promote healthy, active living. 4. Plan, construct, and maintain ‘Complete Streets’ that are safe and accessible to all modes and people of all ages and abilities. 5. Promote efficient, sustainable, and creative use of limited public resources through integrated design and planning. Source: 2012 City of Palo Alto Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan 7.3 Safe Routes to Schools The Safe Routes to Schools program is a collaborative effort between the City of Palo Alto and the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), with the goal to improve safety for school commuters and to reduce school commute-related congestion on city streets. Approximately 14 percent of Palo Alto’s students walk to school daily, while 4,000 students from the PAUSD bike to school. The Safe Routes to Schools program produced a series of Walk and Roll maps that outline suggested bicycle and pedestrian paths around a one-mile radius around a school within PAUSD, as described in Section 2.1.5. 7.4 Bicycle Facilities The Palo Alto Caltrain Station has had a Bikestation since 2007 which utilizes a former baggage building at the historical train depot. Bikestations offer 24-hour indoor, secure bike parking facilities. Some locations include restrooms, showers, and/or changing rooms and repair and rental services. The Palo Alto Bikestation provides bicycle parking for 96 bikes, recreational rentals, bike repairs, accessory sales, a changing room, and an outdoor seating area with concessions. The Palo Alto Caltrain Station also has bikeshare, provided by Bay Area BikeShare. This is a shared use service for passengers who wish to travel short distances with a bike. Bicycles can be rented from this station and returned to another BikeShare dock within the area. This program will soon transition into Ford GoBike, which is set to launch June 2017. The San Antonio Caltrain Station is also a bikeshare station. In addition, the three Caltrain stations in Palo Alto provide ample bicycle racks and locker spaces (detailed in Table 7-2: Bicycle Facilities) which can be rented and reserved in advance. The locker spaces at Palo Alto and California Ave Caltrain Stations are typically fully reserved.

The goal of the ADA is to assure equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for people with disabilities. To implement this goal, the US Access Board, an independent federal agency created in 1973 to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities, has created accessibility guidelines for public rights-of-way. While these guidelines have not been formally adopted, they have been widely followed by jurisdictions and agencies nationwide in the last decade. The guidelines, last revised in July 2011, address various issues, including roadway design practices, slope and terrain issues, and pedestrian access to streets, sidewalks, curb ramps, street furnishings, pedestrian signals, parking, and other components of public rights-of-way. These guidelines would apply to proposed roadways in Palo Alto. Federal Highway Administration The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the agency of the United States (US) Department of Transportation (DOT) responsible for the federally funded roadway system, including the interstate highway network and portions of the primary State highway network, such as Interstate 280 (I-280) and U.S Highway 101 (US 101). Federal Railroad Administration The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was created by the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. The FRA’s mission is to enable the safe, reliable, and efficient movement of people and goods for a strong America, now and in the future. In 2008, Congress required Class I railroad main lines handling hazardous materials and railroad main lines with regularly scheduled intercity and commuter rail passenger service to fully implement Positive Train Control (PTC) by December 31, 2015. PTC uses communication-based/processor-based train control technology that provides a system capable of reliably and functionally preventing train- to-train collisions, overspeed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and the movement of a train through a main line switch in the wrong position. The deadline was extended to December 31, 2018, with the possibility for two additional years if certain requirements are met. The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) is slated to reaching full PTC implementation by the end of 2017.8 The PTC implementation status as of December 2016 for PCJPB is shown in Figure 0-1. 8 FRA.dot.gov; https://www.fra.dot.gov/Media/File/1109 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 55 Figure 0-1: PTC Implementation for Caltrain Union Pacific Railroad The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) is a national freight hauling railroad and operates on the largest railroad network in the county and one of the largest transportation companies in the world. The UPRR does operate freight rail service through the Caltrain corridor, which is owned by the PCJPB, and there are UPRR properties along the right-of-way within the City of Palo Alto9. State California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358) Originally passed in 2008, California’s Complete Streets Act came into force in 2011 and requires local jurisdictions to plan for land use transportation policies that reflect a “complete streets” approach to mobility as a result of Assembly Bill 1358. The Complete Streets approach is essentially a suite of policies and street design guidelines which provide for the needs of all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit operators and riders, children, the elderly, and the disabled. From 2011 onward, any local jurisdiction—county or city—that undertakes a substantive update of the circulation element of its general plan must consider complete streets and incorporate corresponding policies and programs. California Department of Transportation The California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, is the primary State agency responsible for transportation issues. One of its duties is the construction and maintenance of the state highway system. Caltrans approves the planning, design, and construction of improvements for all State-controlled facilities including I-280, US 101, and the associated interchanges for these facilities located in Palo Alto. Caltrans’ jurisdiction includes State Route 82 (SR 82), El Camino Real, in Palo Alto. Caltrans has established standards for roadway traffic flow and developed procedures to determine if state-controlled facilities require improvements. For projects that may physically affect facilities under its administration, Caltrans requires encroachment permits before any construction work may be undertaken. For projects that would not physically affect facilities, but may influence traffic flow and levels of services at such facilities, Caltrans may recommend measures to mitigate the traffic impacts of such projects. The following Caltrans procedures and directives are relevant to the proposed Comprehensive Plan update, particularly State roadway facilities: 9 Calhsr.com, Caltrain ROW Maps; http://calhsr.com/resources/caltrain-row-maps/ Source: FRA, 2016 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 56 LEVEL OF SERVICE TARGET. Caltrans maintains a minimum level of service (LOS) at the transition between LOS C and LOS D for all of its facilities. Where an existing facility is operating at less than the LOS C/D threshold, the existing measure of effectiveness should be maintained. CALTRANS PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL. This manual outlines pertinent statutory requirements, planning policies, and implementing procedures regarding transportation facilities. It is continually and incrementally updated to reflect changes in policy and procedures. For example, the most recent revision incorporates the Complete Streets policy from Deputy Directive 64-R1, which is detailed below. CALTRANS DEPUTY DIRECTIVE 64. This directive requires Caltrans to consider the needs of non-motorized travelers, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons with disabilities, in all programming, planning, maintenance, construction. This includes incorporation of the best available standards in all of Caltrans’ practices. CALTRANS DEPUTY DIRECTIVE 64‐RI. This directive requires Caltrans to provide for the needs of travelers of all ages and abilities in all planning, programming, design, construction, operations, and maintenance activities and products on the State highway system. Caltrans supports bicycle, pedestrian, and transit travel with a focus on “complete streets” that begins early in system planning and continues through project construction and maintenance and operations. CALTRANS DIRECTOR’S POLICY 22. This policy establishes support for balancing transportation needs with community goals. Caltrans seeks to involve and integrate community goals in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance and operations processes, including accommodating the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. California Public Utilities Commission The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) serves the public interest by protecting consumers and ensuring the provision of safe, reliable utility service and infrastructure. The CPUC regulates utility services, stimulates innovation, and promotes competitive markets, where possible, in the communications, energy, transportation, and water industries. In addition, the CPUC administers funding programs for railroad crossings: Section 130, Section 190, and Maintenance Fund. The Section 130 Grade Crossing Hazard Elimination Program provides federal funds to local agencies (cities and counties) and railroads to eliminate hazards at existing at-grade public highway-rail crossings. The Section 190 Grade Separation Program provides state funds to local agencies to grade- separate at-grade crossings, or to improve grade-separated crossings. The program typically provides approximately $15 million distributed among three or four projects each fiscal year.10 Eligible projects include the alteration or reconstruction of existing separations and the construction of new grade separations to eliminate existing grade crossings. 10 CPUC, Railroad Crossing Funding Programs; http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.aspx?id=2722 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 57 The Railroad Crossing Automatic Warning Device Maintenance Fund provides funds to railroads to pay for the local government’s share of the costs of maintaining automatic warning devices at railroad crossings. California Transportation Commission The California Transportation Commission (CTC) administers the public decision-making process that sets priorities and funds projects envisioned in long-range transportation plans. The CTC’s programming includes the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), a multi-year capital improvement program of transportation projects on and off the State highway system, funded with revenues from the state highway account and other funding sources. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) manages the operation of state highways. Senate Bill 743 (Steinberg, 2013) Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) requires the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to amend the CEQA Guidelines to provide an alternative to LOS as the metric for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA. Particularly within areas served by transit, the alternative criteria must promote the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, development of multimodal transportation networks, and diversity of land uses. Measurements of transportation impacts may include VMT, VMT per capita, automobile trip generation rates, or automobile trips generated. Once alternative criteria are incorporated into the CEQA Guidelines, auto delay will no longer be considered a significant impact under CEQA. SB 743 also amended State congestion management law to allow cities and counties to opt out of LOS standards in certain infill areas. Regional and Local Association of Bay Area Governments The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is comprised of the Bay Area’s local governments as a result of state legislation that would have supplanted local control over all bridges, ports, and transit operations in the Bay Area. ABAG provides planning and research resources related to land use, housing, environmental and water resource protection, disaster resilience, energy efficiency and hazardous waste mitigation, risk management, financial services and staff training to local cities, and towns. ABAG's planning and research programs are committed to addressing sustainability, resilience and equity in the region. Metropolitan Transportation Commission The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is the transportation planning, coordinating, and financing agency for the nine-county Bay Area, including Santa Clara County. It also functions as the federally mandated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the region. It is responsible for regularly updating the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport, railroad, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. With the passage of Assembly Bill (AB) 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, the State of California committed itself to reducing statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Subsequent to adoption of AB 32, the State adopted Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) as the means for achieving regional transportation-related GHG targets. Among the requirements of SB 375 is the adoption of targets to be met by 2020 and 2035 for each MPO in DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 58 the State, as well as the creation of a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) that provides a plan for meeting regional targets. The SCS and the RTP must be consistent with one other, including action items and financing decisions. MPOs must use transportation and air emissions modeling techniques consistent with guidelines prepared by the State CTC. The current RTP, Plan Bay Area: Strategy for a Sustainable Region, was adopted on July 18, 2013 and includes both the region’s Sustainable Communities Strategy and the 2040 Regional Transportation Plan. Plan Bay Area was prepared by MTC in partnership with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and cities and counties throughout the region. Plan Bay Area is an integrated long-range transportation and land-use/housing plan intended to support a growing economy, provide more housing and transportation choices, and reduce transportation- related pollution in the Bay Area. It also specifies a detailed set of investments and strategies to maintain, manage, and improve the region’s transportation system, specifying how anticipated federal, State, and local transportation funds will be spent. The MTC has established its policy on Complete Streets in the Bay Area. The policy states that projects funded all, or in part, with regional funds (e.g., federal, State Transportation Improvement Program, bridge tolls) must consider the accommodation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, as described in Caltrans Deputy Directive 64. These recommendations do not replace locally adopted policies regarding transportation planning, design, and construction. Instead, these recommendations facilitate the accommodation of pedestrians, including wheelchair users, and bicyclists into all projects where bicycle and pedestrian travel is consistent with current adopted regional and local plans. Bay Area Air Quality Management District The air quality district that addresses air pollution in the Plan Area is the BAAQMD. Since a primary source of air pollution in the Palo Alto region is from motor vehicles, air district regulations affect transportation planning in the Plan Area. The BAAQMD is a public agency tasked with regulating air pollution in the nine-county Bay Area, including Santa Clara County. The BAAQMD’s goals include reducing health disparities due to air pollution, achieving and maintaining air quality standards, and implementing exemplary regulatory programs and compliance of federal, State, and regional regulations. California High-Speed Rail Authority The California High Speed Rail Authority is responsible for the planning, designing, building and operation of the nation’s first high-speed rail system. Their future corridor and planned service along Caltrain right-of-way makes them a key stakeholder in future corridor improvements. Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) is the governing body for the Caltrain commuter rail service that operates in the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. The PCJPB was formed in 1987 to oversee the passenger rail service. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and the Congestion Management Plan The MTC requires the local transportation authority, such as the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), to establish transportation plans that can feed into the larger DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 59 RTP. In Santa Clara County, the VTA is the Congestion Management Agency (CMA) tasked with preparing the Congestion Management Plan (CMP) that describes the strategies to address congestion problems and monitoring compliance. The VTA works cooperatively with the MTC, transit agencies, local governments, the Caltrans and the BAAQMD. The CMP contains LOS standards for highways and arterials, multimodal performance standards, a capital improvement program, a program for analyzing land use decisions, and a travel demand management (TDM) program. The minimum LOS standard for VTA-monitored CMP intersections is LOS E, except for facilities grandfathered in at LOS F, which states that intersections operating at LOS F at the baseline year for implementation of an LOS standard can be grandfathered in. The standards for Santa Clara County were established in October of 1991; thus, any intersection operating at LOS F prior to the established 1991 LOS standards are not held to the minimum standard of LOS E.3 Member Agencies, which include the cities and County of Santa Clara, must ensure that CMP roadways operate at or better than the minimum LOS standard. The VTA monitors the performance of CMP facilities at a minimum of every two years. If the minimum LOS standards are not met, Member Agencies plan for improvements to address the congestion. Palo Alto uses a minimum LOS standard of LOS D for its intersections not monitored as part of the VTA CPM program. To manage the transportation system and monitor performance in relation to established LOS standards, the VTA has designated a CMP roadway system for Santa Clara County. The CMP roadway system contains 434.5 miles of roadways, of which: 267.4 miles (61 percent) are State highways, 58.7 miles (14 percent) are expressways, and 108.4 miles (25 percent) are city/county arterials.5 If adopted standards are not being maintained on a specific roadway in the designated system, actions must be taken to address problems on that facility or plans must be developed to improve the overall LOS of the system and improve air quality. The CMP roadway system is a subset of the broader Metropolitan Transportation System. Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Bicycle Program In 1998, the VTA implemented a comprehensive Bicycle Program to improve the bicycle infrastructure throughout the Santa Clara County, and to encourage people to utilize biking as a form of commute and recreation. The Bicycle Program provides facilities, services, and programs to make provide bikes a safer option for residents and visitors in Santa Clara County. Under the Bicycle Program, the VTA prepared a Countywide Bicycle Plan, and associated Bicycle Technical Guidelines. Santa Clara County Bicycle Plan In 2008, VTA completed the Santa Clara Countywide Bicycle Plan (SCCBP), which provided a foundation for maintaining and enhancing the countywide bicycle network. The vision of the SCCBP is: To establish, protect and enhance bicycling as a viable transportation mode and to assure that bicycling is a practical and safe mode of travel, by itself and in combination with other modes. The SCCBP identifies existing and proposed cross county bicycle corridors, some which pass through Palo Alto, such as the Dumbarton East-West Connector Corridor, which stretches from North Palo Alto to Los Altos, and the Matadero Creek/Page Mill Trail, DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Existing Conditions Report Draft City of Palo Alto Rail Program Management 60 which stretches from the southeast corner of the Foothill Expressway/Page Mill Road intersection along Page Mill Road to Arastradero Road. The SCCBP establishes several goals, and policies to achieve the vision through transportation planning and programming, land use and transportation integration, local ordinance and guidelines development, and design and construction. The VTA’s Bicycle Expenditure Program (BEP) was created to provide a funding stream to implement the SCCBP. Santa Clara County Bicycle Technical Guidelines The VTA Bicycle Technical Guidelines (BTG) establish standards and guidance for planning, designing, operating, retrofitting and maintaining roadways and bikeways throughout Santa Clara County, including parts of Palo Alto. The BTGs are intended to improve the quality of bicycle facilities and to ensure countywide consistency in the design and construction of the countywide bicycle network, including roadways. The BTGs apply to projects that are a part of the countywide bicycle network. The BTGs are divided into the following four parts: Part 1 provides an introduction and general guidance, including purpose and policy guidance, as well as bicycle characteristics, such as bicyclist skill levels and facilities that best accommodate them. Part 2 includes the technical guidelines for roadways, including roadway design elements, construction zones and maintenance, intersections and interchanges, and signalized intersections. Part 3 establishes technical guidelines for on-road bikeways, including bikeways on major rural roads, and local roads.

Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 1 1 Introduction The City of Palo Alto Travel Demand model is an essential source of information and part of the “tool kit” the Consultant will use for the technical analyses of the Task 4: Rail Corridor Circulation Study, as part of the Consultant’s Rail Program Management Services. Task 4 itemizes a number of subtasks that will be carried out as follows: ● Data Review ● Existing Documents ● Existing Traffic Counts ● Travel Demand Models ● Development Proposals ● Utilities and Right of Way ● Field Observations ● Collision Data ● Grade Crossing Hazards and Gate Downtime ● Evaluation of Alternatives This report focuses on the Travel Demand Model. The Travel Demand Model is a regional model that has been used by the City of Palo Alto (referred to as the “City”) to provide transportation information on the Comprehensive Plan and other major changes that will impact transportation. The Travel Demand Model was developed based on the VTA regional travel demand model using the Cube Voyager program. How the model will be used is described together with the background setting for the analyses. A description of the model is included together with identifying its limitations and the appropriate way of integrating the use of the model into the analyses that form a major component of the overall evaluation studies. The Consultant has reviewed the output of the model at its base year (2014) with newly obtained and other recent traffic volume counts. This provides a measure of how the model can be used. The proposed analytical methods the consultant intends to use are discussed. A second model, a modified version of the original, was then constructed to refine the model description for the area around the Caltrain crossings using new traffic data. A discussion on this is also included. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 2 2 Background and Use of the Travel Demand Model The Rail Corridor Circulation Study is set up to assess what the effect will be of the alternative grade separation road/rail designs on the street based traffic. This will include all motorized vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This report addresses motorized vehicles only; other modes are covered elsewhere. Analyses of the Travel Demand Model reflect automobiles, taxis, road transit (bus and shuttles), and trucks. The model simulates road traffic patterns and volumes in the road network. It is responsive to connectivity in the road network and delay-generated-congestion on the road network. It will simulate the rerouting of traffic to reflect all drivers (apart from fixed rate road transit services), minimizing their journey times. For this exercise, only the road traffic assignment model is used. There are other choice models within the overall modeling framework (mainly location and mode choice), but they are not considered to be impacted sufficiently by the alternative forms of grade crossings to be reflected in the analyses. The Travel Demand Model is very large (almost 3,000 zones) and is primarily intended to be used to assess the impact of major changes in land use and transportation infrastructure and services. For example, a major capacity increase of a freeway or changes in population or employment in the City and surrounding area. However, the model is quite suitable for assessing driver’s responses to major changes in road connectivity and delays generated by congestion. It is also the best tool available for forecasting future growth in travel demand. The Consultant will use the Travel Demand Model for two important elements of the analysis. First, it will be used to assess the rerouting of drivers to respond to connectivity changes by either grade separations or road closures replacing current at grade crossing, for example. This will allow the impact of rerouting to be analyzed with the alternatives being tested. The second use will be to assess the most likely growth of travel demand and its impact in the future years at the key points in the road network. This growth will be applied to observed traffic volumes and movements to project to a future year estimation of traffic conditions. At the key intersection and grade crossings, a more detailed approach will be applied. New data has been obtained from recent traffic counts and this data, along with the use of forecast growth parameters, will be used as input to a more detailed modeling of the intersections. This is described further in in the following sections of the report. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 3 3 Model Review Although the model geographically covers the whole Bay Area (nine counties), its focused area is the City of Palo Alto, where it has more detailed information about the roadway network and land use. The City model has 2,980 traffic analysis zones (TAZs). The zones are denser in the City area than in other areas. The base year of the model is 2014, and the planning horizon year is 2030. Figure 1 below shows the TAZs for the City of Palo Alto. 3.1 Figure 1: Traffic Analysis Zones DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 4 3.1 Travel Demand Models Two models were received from Hexagon Transportation Consultants, who currently maintains the City model: ● 2014 base year model ● 2030 Alt 1 model. This is one of the many future year models of the City. The City has a number of future year models, each representing a different planning scenario. The 2030 Alt 1 model is considered the most appropriate for this study, as it represents the currently approved City Comprehensive Plan. The City model has a number of traffic forecasting periods: AM peak 4-Hour, PM peak 4-Hour, Mid-Day, and Night. In this study, only the peak hour traffic forecasts will be used, as those represent the most critical conditions. The City model, however, does not produce peak hour traffic directly. The peak hour forecasts have to be derived through factoring the AM 4-Hour and PM 4-Hour traffic forecasts. The same process will be followed for forecasting peak hour traffic in this study, as would be done for other infrastructure projects in the City. 3.2 Limitations of the Model The City model is not an intersection based model in the sense that turning movement delay is not explicitly modeled and is not sensitive to volume changes. The model is not intended to address this level of detail. From the traffic operation point of view, this is a limitation of the model because in urban streets, traffic delay is typically incurred at intersections instead of the link level. This model uses speed/flow relationships with implicit (average) delays for intersections. 3.3 Roadway Network in the Study Area The City model is not built on a GIS network. It therefore lacks many roadway network details in the study area. This is illustrated in Figure 2, where the thick blue lines represent the model network while the gray lines represent the GIS network. It can be seen from the figure that there are many streets that are not included in the model. The missing of those local streets, and the fact that not all local streets are represented, may affect how traffic is assigned or routed in the model. This is completely normal for a strategic model covering the size of area that it does. Therefore, the model forecasts need to be examined on how they can be used for traffic operations analysis. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 5 Figure 2: Model Network vs. GIS Network 3.4 Study Intersections This project has four (4) key study intersections / railway and highway crossings. In the following section, the actual layout of these intersections is compared with what has been assumed in the model. Aerial photos are used to show the actual layouts of these intersections. From north to south the intersections are: 1. Palo Alto Ave with El Camino Real 2. Churchill Ave with Alma Street 3. Meadow Drive with Alma Street 4. Charleston Rd with Alma Street Alma street is a four (4) lane arterial throughout the City and a main north-south route alongside and immediately to the east of the Caltrain tracks. The intersecting streets have an east-west orientation and are four (4) lanes in width.

The actual intersection layout is presented in Figure 9, and the model layout is presented in Figure 8. 3.5 Model Results Validation The purpose of the model validation is to better understand the capacity of the model in forecasting traffic at the corridor level in the study area, as well as the proper use of the model forecast for traffic operations analysis. The validation is not intended to be a “critique” of the model but rather to develop how it can be used in the process. The comparison of the modeled with counted flows is highly unlikely to be the same: ● The model peak hour flows are converted from four (4) peak-hour traffic assignment results, whereas the counted flows are true peak hour flows. ● Models of this size are not intended to be used at individual street or intersection level. ● The model does not represent all of the streets in the City. ● Traffic counts can also vary from day to day. ● The model is 2014, and the counts are 2015/16. The model is validated in two ways. The first is to compare the 2014 traffic forecasts with the 2015/2016 traffic counts. The second way is to compare the 2014 traffic forecast with the 2030 traffic forecasts and check the reasonableness of the volume change, i.e., whether the volume changes are reasonably explained by the network and land use changes. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 13 3.6 2014 Model Results vs. Traffic Counts The comparison of the base year traffic forecasts with traffic counts is summarized in Table 1. The “Counts” column represents the 2015/2016/2017 observed traffic counts, and the “model” column represents the traffic forecasts from the 2014 base year model (note: the El Camino Real / Palo Alto Ave intersection traffic counts are from 2017, while those of other intersections are from 2015/2016). The comparison is conducted for one hour in both the AM and PM peak periods at the four key study intersections. Table 1: Base Year Model Forecast Validation Source: observed traffic counts and 2014 base year traffic forecast model * GEH stands for Geoffrey Edward Havers, who developed a statistical method of measuring the “goodness of fit” between two independent data sets. It is a modified Chi Squared test and outputs a statistical value for the comparison. It has been adopted by the UK Department of Transportation, many U.S. State DOTs, and the travel demand modeling industry in general. A number of observations can be made from the comparison: ● The volume discrepancy between the model forecasts and the traffic counts demonstrates that the model should not be used directly to estimate individual traffic flows. The general standard is that when the GEH value is greater than 5.0, the data sets are not compatible, which was to be expected. ● The model forecasts on Alma Street are generally lower than the observed traffic counts. Based on the above, it was decided that future year traffic forecasts from the model should not be used directly for traffic operational analyses at a detailed level and would be used to estimate the growth in traffic demand. The models would also be used to identify changes in travel patterns. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 14 3.7 2030 Model Results vs. 2014 Model Results The comparison between the 2030 future year forecasts and the base year forecasts is presented in Table 2. Table 2: 2030 Alt. 1 Model Forecast Validation Source: observed traffic counts, and 2014/ 2030 year traffic forecast models The comparison shows that: ● The 2030 future year traffic forecasts are systematically higher than the base year forecasts along Alma Street. The volume growth incremental rate is roughly 2% annually. This is an expected result. ● The cross-street traffic largely increases over time. But at a few locations, the future year forecasts are lower than the base year forecasts by a small margin. There are some, reassignments in the model that account for this. The volume change seems to be consistent along Alma Street and the growth rate seems to be reasonable. The growth shown is quite suitable to be added to traffic forecasts to derive a set of improved 2030 traffic forecasts. 3.8 The Second Base Year Model A second base year model was constructed to improve the modeling of traffic flows at the key intersections on Alma Street. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 15 This model was a refinement of the original City model, using a process called MEOD (Matrix Estimation of Origins and Destinations), within the CUBE suite of programs. This process modifies the trip tables to more closely reflect traffic count data that is input to the model. Below, the methods used to modify the model are described. A) Review the road network structure within the model and refine to a more detailed level where necessary. To include TAZ link connectors in the review. B) Prepare traffic count data and input to the CUBE ANALYST sub-model. The sub-model uses a “matrix estimation by maximum entropy” (ME2) process to adjust the trip tables to provide, when assigned to the network, the closest fit of model estimated flows to the input observed flows. C) Rerun base year AM & PM peak models and revalidate, using GEH statistical analyses. The results are shown in table 3 below.

The percentage of GEH statistics that are not greater than five (5) exceeds 85%. The average GEH statistic is 3.0. The fit at Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr is very good and good at Charleston Rd. This model may be used for future forecasting for a more precise analysis of the key intersections of the Caltrain crossing routes with Alma Street. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 16 4 Future Year Modeling Methodology 4.1 Travel Models The City Travel Demand Models will be used to derive the growth in traffic volumes for all the traffic operations analyses (TOA). This will be commenced by examining two different time travel models: ● 2014 base year model. The model approximately represents the existing year condition. ● 2030 Alt 1 model. This model represents one of the City’s most likely future year conditions. For this project, this model reflects the no-build condition. Based on these two models, other models will be constructed to evaluate the future year “project” conditions. The use of “project” in this instance means any planning or design measures that are related to this study and to be explored in this study. A number of varying project conditions will require evaluation. The approach is to add the forecast growth from the models to the observed traffic volumes: ● Refined traffic forecast = counts + (future year model forecast – base year model forecast). The approach is called “The Differences Method” and is described in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program: Report 765 – Analytical Travel Forecasting Approaches for Project-Level Planning and Design. The method is described briefly below in the following Abstract: “6.3 Factoring Procedure – Difference Method 6.3.1 Abstract Factoring procedures are used to predict future year turning movements based on the relationship between base year turning movement counts and base year model turning movement assignments. The assumption is that future turning movements will be similar in nature to existing turning movements. Based on this assumption, future year turning movements can be estimated by comparing the relative differences between base year and future year turning movement assignments. The procedure can be applied for both directional and non- directional turning movements. 6.3.2 Context Typical applications are intersection design, intersection capacity analysis, site impact studies, traffic signal timing, and interchange studies. Geography is site, corridor and wide area. Typical time horizons are short range, interim, and long range. Required input data are traffic counts and traffic model link assignments. Optional input data are turning movement estimates and manual link forecasts.” This approach was used for the 2030 sample scenario tests. 4.2 Improvement Plans in the Traffic Forecasting Model Assuming the potential project alternatives in this study are limited to local roadway improvements such as grade-separation, roadway signing and restriping, or even traffic signal treatment, these improvements are unlikely to change the overall traffic demand or traffic distribution pattern at the regional level. These local improvements typically affect only route DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Travel Demand Model Validation Report Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 17 choice: if a specific route becomes more attractive, it is going to draw more traffic from adjacent parallel streets. This is essentially a traffic assignment issue. It is also assumed that the above roadway improvements change traffic delay at the turning movement level rather than the link level. For example, grade-separation effectively reduces signal delays and thereby reduces intersection turning movement delay. The following steps will be followed to incorporate each roadway improvement into the model: ● Revise the model network to reflect the geometric changes ● Estimate traffic delays due to the increase from four (4) trains each in the peak hour, each direction, at current at-grade intersections, to ten trains each direction. ● Estimate the traffic delay as a result of these geometric changes, using traffic operation models (Synchro). ● These will then be used to estimate turn penalties in the model at the intersections under review. More details on the methodology and the results of these tests will be contained in the next section on the Analysis of the Sample Scenarios.

This document reports on the outcomes of those studies and also includes a description of the background; the objectives; and the methodologies employed to obtain the results. 1.2 The intent of the Rail Corridor Circulation Study was to estimate the effect on traffic circulation under up to eight (8) different scenarios that have been modeled using the regional/Citywide travel demand model. This has been used to assess the diversionary (traffic rerouting) impacts of the possible changes to the rail corridor road network in the City that future grade crossing layouts may cause. A more detailed examination of the intersections at, and close to, the current at-grade crossings has also been carried out using traffic operational models. These “Year 2030” scenarios include several variations of grade crossings and grade separations at each railroad corridor crossing location. The first two scenarios (“Year 2030 No Build Scenario One” and “Year 2030 No Build Scenario Two”) do not include any new grade crossings, new grade separations or modifications to existing crossings, as they refer to the “No Build” scenarios. The remaining six (6) scenarios (Year 2030 Scenarios 1 through 6) include varying collections of new multi-modal grade-separated crossings, new bicycle- and-pedestrian-only grade-separated crossings, new grade separations, modified grade crossings, and closed grade crossings. The analysis of scenarios is intended to inform the selection of grade separations alternatives for more in-depth study and evaluation. These scenarios are for testing only and are not intended to establish any policy directions or suppose a preferred alternative. 1.3 The impacts of any future modifications to the current at-grade and grade-separated crossings will affect accessibility across the Caltrain tracks. To construct a grade separation where currently there is an existing at-grade crossing, clearly reduces the interference or obstruction caused by that crossing and therefore improves East/West access/capacity at that location. That may or may not attract additional vehicular traffic to that crossing. Similarly, closing (i.e., eliminating) an existing at- grade crossing will cause traffic to divert to other routes. The intent of this study is to assess probable changes to motor vehicle and bicycle traffic circulation/demands under changes in accessibility/capacity caused by railroad crossing related infrastructure improvement scenarios. To the extent that it is possible with the demand models, an order-of-magnitude quantification of those changes is described. 1.4 Even if no changes or modifications are made to the existing rail crossings, increases in traffic demands driven by land-use and population growth would occur between existing and future (2030) conditions. Vehicular traffic is forecast to grow at a little over 1% per year. The Caltrain service modifications, made possible by the electrification, are likely to double the number of trains in the peak periods compared to now, when they are implemented. There is also the potential for having high-speed rail services on this line, in addition to Caltrain. The combination of the increased frequency of gate closures at the crossings and increased traffic flows will undoubtedly increase road congestion from what it is now. 1.5 Two types of Year 2030 “No Build” scenarios were first defined. A Year 2030 “No Build 1” scenario was first developed that includes growth in traffic between current and Year 2030 conditions while assuming no change to existing rail service frequencies, and no change in existing roadway circulation conditions. Included in the Circulation Study tests, is another Year 2030 “No Build 2” scenario where both the increased train frequencies and traffic growth (between existing and year 2030) are simulated within the demand models, while assuming no future construction occurs. The “No Build 2” with both train frequencies and traffic volume scenario forms the ‘baseline’ from which comparisons against the scenario tests are made. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 2 1.6 The current average number of gate closures caused by passing trains is 6-7 per hour over the peak periods. The highest number in any one hour recorded is 10. The assumptions within the demand modeling is that this will rise to an average of 20 by 2030 if both Caltrain Modernization and high- speed-rail services are implemented. Caltrain current signal system headways allow for a maximum of an express train every five (5) minutes and a local train every six (6) minutes. This would mean 24 express trains per hour for both directions if evenly spaced at five-minute intervals and 20 local trains per hour if evenly spaced at six-minute intervals. Neither of these conditions would be likely to occur in “real life”. Firstly, the service will most likely be a mixture of both local and express trains and secondly, running at uniform minimum headways through a peak hour is highly unlikely to be achievable in practice. Therefore, by assuming a maximum of 20 gate closures per hour over the peak periods, the model is addressing the likely worst-case scenario in terms of traffic disruption. It is also likely that with such intense service frequencies, that occasionally, a single-gate closure could accommodate two (2) trains passing in opposite directions, meaning that the number of gate closures was actually less than the total two-way train frequency. 1.7 Finally, conclusions are drawn from the series of ‘sensitivity’ tests carried out for alternative scenarios. It is important to note what is forecast to happen if nothing is done to improve the crossings and not only whether diversions will occur under various scenarios of infrastructure changes, but whether their impact is likely to be significant or not. The study area is shown in Figure 1.1. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 3 2. Study Methods 2.1 A two-step analysis process was used to complete the circulation study. A large-scale regional/citywide traffic demand model is first used to estimate both the growth in traffic demand within the road network and the diversion impacts that any proposed changes to the road infrastructure will cause. The demand model is fully described in the “Travel Model Validation Report.” Since the regional model cannot simulate traffic flows reliably at an individual roadway link or intersection level, a more refined post-processing of forecasts and operational analysis at an individual intersection level is completed in the second step. This is described below. 2.2 The Travel Demand Model runs on a “Cube Voyager” software platform. This is a universally accepted platform throughout the planning industry. The model itself comes from the MTC and Santa Clara VTA regional models and is compatible with all models used for infrastructure planning on the Peninsula and the Bay Area. The models are forecast to the future year of 2030 and outputs estimates of traffic volume conditions for the hourly average of a four-hour peak period in both the morning and afternoon for an average week day. Both inputs to and outputs from the Travel Demand Models and the operational models are mounted on the City’s website. 2.3 The Travel Demand Model is a four-stage model in which trip generation, trip distribution (locations), mode choice (motor vehicle, transit or rail) and assignment (either highway, transit or rail networks) are estimated. The model is calibrated on observations at a base- year against land-use and population data. For future year forecasts to 2030, the main input to the models are the future year assumptions on the 2030 land uses; populations; employment and car ownership. This is the same model that has been used for developing the transportation elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The model is owned by and is accessible through the City of Palo Alto. 2.4 This model was used, together with traffic count data, to develop the forecast traffic flows for the sample scenarios. Subsequently a second base year model was developed that incorporated a later set of traffic county data (November 2017) local to the at-grade intersections to refine the model focus on these intersections. This is reported in the Existing Conditions and the Travel Model Validation Sections. However, the original model is the one that was used for forecasting to 2030. 2.5 The train frequencies that cause gate closures during the peak periods vary considerably at the crossing locations from three (3) per hour to ten (10) per hour. The highest frequencies tend to be 8:00-9:00 am and 6:00-7:00 pm. The other variable involved is the crossing traffic volume. It is a combination of these two variables that produces congestion. Crossing traffic volume peaks at different times at different location and at different times to the train frequency peaks. For example, at the Palo Alto crossing, westbound traffic peaks between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm. At Churchill Rd and E/W Meadow Dr, the afternoon peak hour for eastbound traffic is 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. So, a single peak-hour demand model would not capture all the peak conditions and would not be fully representative for analysis. By adopting the City’s Demand Model that covers a four-hour peak period for both the AM and PM, the study has encapsulated the dynamic variables that make up traffic congestion. The qualification being that the highest peaks at individual locations could generate more congestion for a short time than the model would predict. A further issue is that of a phenomenon called “peak spreading.” As traffic congestion grows, drivers tend to change their time of travel to avoid the worst conditions. It is traffic saturated conditions that cause “peak spreading” to happen, where the physical capacity of the system is reached. When looking at the possibility of a 20% growth of traffic by the year 2030, it is likely that the highest peak traffic volumes could not be accommodated by some parts of the road network capacity. The result would be an expansion of the peak conditions DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 4 to a wider time period. By using a four-hour average peak period, this growth can be realistically simulated by the demand model. The analyses of the operational conditions, however, does use current peak hour volumes, with growth added by the demand model to analyze those conditions in the future forecast year of 2030. This means that the operational analyses will have captured the most congested conditions. 2.6 The individual intersection-level forecasts were developed using Year 2017 intersection turning-volume level ground counts as the basis. Each of the critical intersections that include the rail crossings were surveyed for two (2) days in 2017, (one in February and one in November) with new weekday peak-hour traffic counts obtained at thirteen (13) study intersections. This included the actual rail crossing intersections as well as the closely located and influential adjacent intersections. 2.7 The traffic count data and forecasts were used as input to a traffic operational modeling procedure to analyze the performance of the intersection. The software platform is Synchro® (Version 8). This is a popular traffic operational analysis software platform that is universally used and accepted throughout North America. This was completed for February’s 2017 data set. 2.8 The Synchro® analysis was initially used for the 2017 (actual) conditions and reported in the Existing Conditions Report. For the future forecast year of 2030, the 2017 count data was modified/refined to reflect regional-model forecasted growth in traffic demand through year 2030 from year 2017. The impact, as a result of traffic growth, was analyzed with the Synchro® software. The Demand Model was used to estimate that growth. The result is that at individual intersections, the peak one-hour (as opposed to the four-hour average of the peak period) demands are more accurately represented. Two (2) separate appraisals were carried out for the 2017 analyses. The initial one used the February 2017 data and the second one used the November 2017 data. Compared to other data that was available, including the November 2017 counts, it seems likely that there was a bias in the February 2017 data. This was thought to be caused by atypical traffic demand and behavior from events being held that were outside normal weekday activities. This is reported in the Existing Conditions Section of this Report. It was therefore concluded that the second data set, relating to the November 2017 traffic counts, should be considered as the most realistic. However, the differences from using either of the two (2) data sets in forecasting are unlikely to be significant. The probability is that one level-of-service difference may occur in a minority of cases. Certainly the overall impact analyses are highly unlikely to change. 2.9 To address the important issue of Bicycle accessibility, a separate analysis procedure was used. This consisted of developing an accessibility map, based on travel time contours (an isochronic analysis), using a GIS-based mapping procedure. This plots the travel distance that can be achieved with 5, 10, 15 and 20-minute cycling times. The process, therefore, easily identifies the ability of bicyclists to make east/west movements across the Caltrain tracks and indicates where there is good and poor accessibility. The average bicycle speed was taken as 12 mph, which is what the City typically uses to time traffic signals along bikeways. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 5 3. Scenario Specifications 3.1 Six (6) separate circulation sample scenarios were tested with both the morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) peak period models at a future forecast year of 2030. These are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1 describes the six (6) scenarios that are analyzed and Table 2 is a tabular representation of the scenarios. 3.2 For each at-grade crossing, there are a variety of treatments available. ● Remain as it is today with all-modes having access. (No change) ● Closure for all modes. (Motor vehicles) ● Closure for vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, but retaining Pedestrian and Bicycle access, either remaining at-grade or grade separated. ● Grade separation for all modes. ● Widen existing grade-separated crossings. There are other measures that can also be implemented such as remaining as an at-grade crossing for all modes but imposing a quiet zone. This is not an option that can be analyzed within the modeling procedures in the circulation studies, but is a qualitative assessment in terms of impacts. For the demand model tests, there is no sensitivity to the type of grade separation that may be employed, only that the current obstruction caused by the presence of the rail crossing is removed. 3.3 An analysis of the details of traffic operations for specific designs will be the subject of further work when the alternatives are being considered. 3.4 The following are the crossing locations and their current (or future committed) conditions: ● Palo Alto Avenue (AKA Alma Street) – existing at-grade, all modes ● Everett Avenue/Lytton Avenue – planned grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● University Avenue – existing grade-separated, all modes ● Homer Avenue – existing grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● Embarcadero Road – existing grade-separated, all modes ● Churchill Avenue – Existing at-grade, all modes ● California Avenue – existing grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● Oregon Expressway – existing grade-separated with no pedestrian access ● Loma Verde Avenue/Matadero Creek – planned grade-separated bicycle/pedestrian ● East/West Meadow Drive – existing at-grade, all modes ● East/West Charleston Road – existing at-grade, all modes ● San Antonio Road – existing grade-separated, all modes This represents the “No Build” infrastructure condition. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 6 Table 1, below, presents a general description of each of the sample scenarios that were tested. All were analyzed for the future forecast year of 2030. Also, to be noted is that where the circulation study assumes grade separations, it does not differentiate between the type of separation (below grade, above grade, etc.). This is due to the focused nature of the analyses and means that additional circulation analysis will likely be needed for grade separation alternatives that emerge through the community process if, for example, the type of separation results in local street closures in the vicinity. It was also assumed that all grade separations included full connections (both turning and through movements) with Alma Street, as it exists today.

NEW 4. Scenario Test Results 1: Traffic Diversions 4.1 For the six (6) test scenarios, the travel demand model was used to assess the diversion effects. The model was used to estimate how travel patterns will change when accessibility changes. This shows where increases and decreases occur in traffic volumes when a scenario is compared to the “No Build” scenarios. These are shown graphically in Figures 4.1 to 4.12. The “No Build Scenario 1” will include all infrastructure and rail service as it exists today (2017) with the forecasted 2030 traffic demand. The “No Build Scenario 2” includes all infrastructure as it exists today, but with the forecasted 2030 traffic demand and the increase in the frequency of rail crossing gate closures resulting from proposed Caltrain and High-Speed Rail service. 4.2 In 2030, the train frequency in the peak periods of the average weekday is forecast to increase to around three times today’s service levels (i.e., from an average of 6-7 trains per hour to 20 trains per hour). This assumes both Caltrain and high-speed rail future forecast services will be operating. It could be speculated that even if high-speed rail is not in service by then, the demand for Caltrain services could push the train frequency to that level. That could be near to a practical saturation level for Caltrain services to operate if no further modifications (such as more passing tracks) are constructed. In simple capacity terms, this translates to approximately a 20% reduction in vehicular capacities across the Caltrain at-grade crossings from today. For both the No-Build Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, a 15% increase in total vehicular traffic volumes crossing the rail lines within the City is forecast through Year 2030 over existing conditions. 4.3 The difference between No Build Scenario 1 and No Build Scenario 2 is that there would be a vehicular traffic rerouting effect for the individual crossings due to the increase in grade- crossing congestion caused by effectively tripling the potential for gate closures. Essentially crossing traffic reduces on Palo Alto Ave; E/W Meadow Dr and Charleston Rd and increases on Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Rd. There is little effect on Churchill A = At Grade Q = Quiet Zone W = Widened Grade Separated X = Closed to all Traffic S = Grade Separated DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 8 Ave; University Ave and Embarcadero Rd. So, there is a redistribution of routing to the grade-separated crossings in the south of the City. 4.4 In the rest of the comparisons, the “No Build Scenario 2” option is assumed to be the baseline, so in Figures 4.1 to 4.12, the “traffic differences” diagrams are shown for each scenario against the “No Build Scenario 2”, with the red overlay showing which roads will have increased traffic flows and the green overlay showing where traffic flows will be reduced. For each scenario, a summary of this is included with a description of the effect on the volumes using the various rail crossings within the City. 4.5 SAMPLE SCENARIO 1 Sample Scenario 1 has three (3) of the at-grade crossings closed and Charleston Rd. grade separated. Embarcadero Rd is widened. The total 2030 traffic crossing reduces to 2017 levels, so the growth is effectively rerouted out of the City. University Ave and Embarcadero Rd experience small increases but Charleston Rd experiences very high increases in traffic flows, over 50% above the No Build Scenario 2 flows, shown in Figures 4.1 and 4.2. 4.6 SAMPLE SCENARIO 2 Scenario 2 has Palo Alto Ave and Meadow Dr closed; Churchill Ave remaining at grade and Charleston Rd grade separated. The total crossing traffic flows reduce by around 10% from the No Build Scenario 2 conditions, so around 5% above today’s conditions. There is some small amount of increases to traffic on the grade-separated crossings, with the exception of Charleston Rd which experiences over 50% increase in traffic flow. In the westbound direction, Oregon Expressway is likely to exceed LOS D. In the eastbound direction, Embarcadero Rd is likely to be congested, well above LOS D. University Ave is not likely to exceed LOS D. Shown in Figures 4.3 and 4.4. 4.7 SAMPLE SCENARIO 3 Scenario 3 has the existing grade separation at Embarcadero Rd being widened and with Charleston Rd grade separated. There are slight increases for Palo Alto Ave and Embarcadero Rd but over a 50% increase from the No Build Scenario 2 for Charleston Rd. The widening of Embarcadero Rd reduces potential congestion and assists in balancing the traffic volumes between the grade-separated crossing. The widening, therefore, is a justifiable measure and serves the purpose for which it is intended. Both Palo Alto Ave and Embarcadero Rd are likely not to exceed LOS D. Shown in Figures 4.5 and 4.6. 4.8 SAMPLE SCENARIO 4 The only change from No Build Scenario 2 to Sample Scenario 4 is that a grade separation for Charleston Road is included. There is little change except for Charleston Rd itself, which attracts over an additional 50% of traffic flow. Shown in Figures 4.7 and 4.8. 4.9 SAMPLE SCENARIO 5 Scenario 5 has an at-grade quiet zone at Palo Alto Ave and grade separations at Charleston Rd and Meadow Dr. Churchill Ave remains at-grade. Both Meadow Dr and Charleston Rd experience a high level of additional traffic flow. This is likely to have the effect of having similar traffic operating conditions as today, on the existing grade separations. So, the traffic growth is taken up by the new grade-separated crossings. Shown in Figures 4.9 and 4.10. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 9 4.10 SAMPLE SCENARIO 6 This scenario offers the greatest level of total capacity increase for the crossings within the City of all the scenarios tested. It has all the specifications of sample scenario 5 with the addition of widening at Embarcadero Rd and Palo Alto Ave grade separated. Churchill Ave stays the same as today. Each of the former at-grade crossings that are assumed to be grade separated attract substantial additional traffic flows – much of which is diverted from the existing grade-separated crossings in the City. The existing grade-separated crossings operate with similar levels of traffic flow to today and substantially better than in No Build Scenario 2. Shown in Figures 4.11 and 4.12. 4.11 DISCUSSION ON TRAFFIC DIVERSION OUTCOMES Although six (6) scenarios is only a fraction of the vast number of possible combinations and permutations for different layouts of the crossings in the City, it seems the tests completed provide a reasonable picture of likely outcomes of different scenarios. These range from Sample Scenario 1, the most restrictive, which is specified to close down all the at-grade crossings except Charleston Rd, to Sample Scenario 6, that includes grade separating every crossing that is currently at-grade, except for Churchill Ave. DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 10 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 11 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 12 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 13 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 14 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 15 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 16 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 17 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 18 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 19 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 20 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 21 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 22 In general, the outcomes of the tests are intuitive with those crossings that remain at grade shedding traffic to either the existing grade-separated crossings or any that will be newly constructed as grade separated. The exception is Churchill Ave which seems relatively insensitive to changes in the layout and functions of the crossings. This may be because Churchill is used for very local trips that are unlikely to reroute without significant inconvenience. 4.12 If the grade separations were to be constructed, then some rerouting would occur from the existing grade separations. Charleston Rd is particularly likely to experience this if it is grade separated; specifically attracting traffic that currently uses the San Antonio Road grade- separated crossing. Charleston Rd and Arastradero Rd corridor is one of the few connecting routes for I-280 and US 101 Sample Scenario 1 is likely to divert the 15% growth in traffic demand from today to 2030, out of the City and divert existing traffic from the routes that are closed to those that are grade separated. This is shown in Figures 4.13 and 4.14. It should be noted that in Figures 4.13 to 4.16 the increases are compared to current conditions, not to the “No Build Scenario 2.” This gives a perspective to the likely increases compared to today. 4.13 Sample Scenario 6 displays about the highest crossing capacity of the six (6) sample scenarios for vehicular traffic. Churchill Ave is not assumed grade separated, but seems fairly insensitive to change and may not make any significant difference. Sample Scenario 6 is technically equivalent to having the Caltrain track below or above ground for the whole length through the City, from a traffic modeling perspective. This Scenario attracts some 5% more total crossing traffic than No Build Scenario 2. All routes that are currently at-grade and become grade separated in Scenario 6 will attract significant additional volumes of traffic, as can be seen in Figures 4.15 and 4.16. Much of this traffic reroutes from existing grade crossings, particularly San Antonio Road. 4.14 In Table 3 – a summary assessment of the likely effects of the different proposals for the at- grade treatments are shown, as demonstrated by the model. Forecast traffic volumes for roads across the Caltrain tracks for 2017, 2030 NB1 and NB2 and 2030 Scenarios 1-6 for AM and PM peak hours are included in Appendix A.

Scenario Test Results 2: Intersection Analyses 5.1 GENERAL This section of the report describes the results of a more detailed examination of the operational performance of the intersections. The computer program Synchro® (version 8) was used for the analysis. For each intersection, the traffic flows surveyed in 2017 were used as input with the addition of forecast traffic growth from 2017 to 2030. The growth was estimated using the travel demand model. The forecast traffic flows are described below. This is followed by an analysis of the conditions, in terms of traffic delay and queues, that are likely to occur if the Caltrain services are increased to, firstly, Caltrain modernization specification and secondly, to both the Caltrain Modification and high-speed rail specification for train service frequencies. This section then describes the more detailed analyses that have been carried out for the performance of the intersections under Sample Scenarios 1 to 6. Finally, a discussion is included in the results. 5.2 TRAFFIC FLOWS The intersections analyzed are shown in Figure 5.1. and listed below. 5.3 The following are the intersections that have been examined: ● Palo Alto Avenue/Alma St (unsignalized intersection) ● El Camino Real/Palo Alto Ave/Sand Hill Rd ● Churchill Ave/Alma St ● Churchill Ave/Mariposa Ave (unsignalized intersection) ● Churchill Ave/Madrona Ave (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Ramona St (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Alma St ● Meadow Dr/Park Blvd (unsignalized intersection) ● Meadow Dr/Wilkie Way ● Charleston Rd/Wright Pl (unsignalized intersection) ● Charleston Rd/Alma St ● Charleston Rd/Park Blvd (unsignalized intersection) ● Charleston Rd/Wilkie Way These intersections were all subject to count surveys in 2017 – as reported and analyzed in the “Existing Conditions Report.” DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 29 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 30 5.4 TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FOR “NO BUILD” SCENARIOS Tests were carried out for a number of possible conditions for the future: 2017 - current conditions 2020 - Caltrain Modernization train frequency increases 2030 - Caltrain Modernization and high-speed-rail train frequency increases (No Build Scenario 2) In Figure 5.2, the average vehicle delays are shown under the three (3) analysis years described above. As can be seen, particularly in the PM peak, delays are forecast to at least double in many cases from 2017 to 2030. 5.5 Figures 5.3 and 5.4 show the likely queue formation for the future year of 2030 in the PM peak for a “No Build Scenario 2” condition. The PM peak, generally, has higher volume of flows than the AM peak. Queues become a more serious issue when they cause gridlock by backing up through intersections that are up-stream (in traffic flow terms) of the intersection under examination. As can be seen, this occurs at a number of the intersections under review and particularly on El Camino Real, which is a major route through the City. 5.6 Table 4 below shows the typical level-of-service (LOS) for the key traffic flows that cross the rail track for the three (3) analysis years at each of the at-grade crossings (as set out above in 5.4).

The LOS is for the times when the rail gates are not closed. For the LOS for times when the gates are closed, Table 4 should be referred to. It should be remembered that the forecast flows into the intersections vary considerably between different scenarios and therefore the LOS will also vary. For example, when an existing at-grade crossing is assumed to be grade separated in a scenario, it is likely to attract more traffic, which then can deteriorate the intersection LOS’s on that route. This also means that some routes that remain at-grade will operate at a better LOS during times when the rail crossing gate is open, than when they are assumed to be grade separated. This is usually because traffic is deterred from using a route with an at-grade crossing because of the likelihood of gate closures. When a route that was previously at- grade is proposed for grade-separation, the demand model shows it will attract additional traffic and that additional traffic may cause a deterioration in the operating LOS at the intersections on that route. When future alternative (more detailed) designs for grade operations are carried out, these conditions may well be improved.

With the forecast frequencies of closures, this will occur on an increasing number of occasions during the peak periods (one every three [3] minutes on average). Conversely, if an at-grade crossing remains at-grade, traffic will likely divert to other routes and this may improve the operating LOS for periods when no gate closures occur. 5.9 For routes where currently at-grade crossings are converted to grade separations, additional traffic is likely to be attracted which may deteriorate the LOS for all intersections on that route. This can be seen in Table 5; however, where the all mode closures of the rail crossings at Palo Alto Ave; Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr (Scenario 1) are implemented, it may improve the LOS of the surrounding intersections. If closures were to be implemented and traffic diverted to existing grade crossings, then the LOS on Embarcadero Rd and Oregon Expressway are likely to operate higher than LOS D. Crossing Route Scenario & Time Period DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 35 Without widening, Embarcadero Rd in an eastbound direction would likely be highly congested and above LOS D. 5.10 A further consideration is that the actual timings of the gate-crossing cannot be predicted precisely. There is a randomness associated with arrival time of the train within a given time period. This is exacerbated by the fact that the services are two-way operations, each direction having their own frequency characteristics. This may mean that on occasions, the traffic queuing from one signal phase that included a gate closure may not sufficiently recover to a normal non-gate closure condition, before another gate-closure phase occurs for the traffic signal. Conversely, opposite direction trains may utilize one gate closure, resulting in more open gate time within a given window. 5.11 In summary, for those crossing routes that remain at-grade, it is likely that the intersections will operate at LOS F for the times when there is a gate closure. Due to traffic being attracted away from these routes, because of the likelihood of drivers experiencing a gate closure, the traffic volumes on those routes are likely to reduce. This would mean the LOS would improve when no gate closures occurred. However, for the forecast train frequencies in 2030 under the full impact of Caltrain Modernization and high-speed-rail specifications, the likelihood of a traffic signal phase including a gate closure becomes very much higher than today. For those routes that do have future grade separated Caltrain track crossings, where none exist today, increased traffic flows are likely to occur and thus the LOS at the intersections on that route may deteriorate. 6. Bicycle & Pedestrian Accessibility 6.1 As part of the scenario testing, a variety of different proposals for new bicycle and pedestrian crossings for the Caltrain track were prepared. These are shown in Table 6 below. As part of any future grade-separated crossings, both bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be fully accommodated within the overall infrastructure designs. These will be equivalent in access and safety terms to the latest standards and to any of the other newly constructed Bicycle/Pedestrian-only grade separations.

For the No Build Scenario 2 and as it is today, there is a significant gap between Oregon Expressway and Meadow Dr. With Sample Scenario 1, this gap is extended by the closure of Meadow Dr. Added to this, new gaps would appear between Oregon Expressway and Churchill Ave and north of Palo Alto Ave. Sample Scenario 2 is a considerable improvement on Sample Scenario 1 with the addition of new Bicycle/Pedestrian-crossing facilities at Everett Ave/Lytton Ave and at Loma Verde Ave/Matadero Creek. Sample Scenario 2 though, still reduces mobility north of Palo Alto Ave by closing it, and also, marginally between the new Loma Verde Ave/Matadero Ave crossing and Charleston Rd, by closing Meadow Dr. 6.3 Sample Scenario 6 provides the maximum accessibility for Bicyclists and Pedestrians of all the scenarios tested. As all at-grade crossings are assumed grade separated, except Churchill Ave, and all proposed new grade-separated crossings for bicycle and pedestrian are assumed constructed, the overall level of accessibility is very high. This is shown in Figure 6.3. The only remaining at-grade crossing that does not have improved Bicycle and Pedestrian crossing facilities would be Churchill Avenue DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 37 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 38 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 39 DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 40 7.

Any new construction to the latest standards, particularly a grade separation or closure, is likely to reduce the potential for accidents. 8. Summary and Conclusions 8.1 The Traffic Circulation Study tests were carried out with the City’s Travel Demand Model for examining the impacts of traffic growth and any traffic diversionary effects from the different layouts and combinations of grade separations. Although the number of permutations and combinations of different forms of treatment to the Caltrain crossings are potentially very high, the six (6) representative tests carried out have provided a reasonable picture of what is likely to happen under the most foreseeable/practical scenarios. 8.2 Six (6) sample scenarios were tested that ranged from a very restricted accessibility specification to one with a very high level of accessibility across the Caltrain tracks. 8.3 Total growth in traffic across the Caltrain track crossing from now (2017) to 2030 is forecast to be around 15% under “No Build” condition. 8.4 Under a “No Build Scenario 2” condition (i.e., with the expected maximum of 20 trains per hour during peak periods), the increased delays at the at-grade crossings would cause traffic to divert to the currently grade-separated crossings; particularly Oregon Expressway and San Antonio Rd. The conditions on both of these routes is likely to be worse than LOS D. 8.5 For a situation with the higher level of restricted access (Sample Scenario 1), the test assumed closure of the Palo Alto Ave; Churchill Ave and Meadow Dr at-grade crossings. Charleston Rd was assumed grade separated. For this scenario, the overall 2030 traffic volumes across the Caltrain track within the City would reduce to levels that exist today and the ‘growth’ would be diverted out of the City. 8.6 Sample Scenarios 1 and 2 would seriously reduce bicycle and pedestrian accessibility across the Caltrain track and, therefore, active transportation mobility in general, unless newly constructed crossings were provided in the same or close-by locations. 8.7 For the scenarios with a number of grade separations replacing currently at-grade crossings, the total 2030 traffic across the Caltrain tracks could grow by more than 20% from today. This means some traffic is diverted in from outside the City compared to a “No Build” conditions. Location Item DR A F T Mott MacDonald | Analysis of Sample Scenarios 1 6 Draft City of Palo Alto: Rail Program Management 41 8.8 In all cases, currently at-grade crossings, if they were to be grade separated, would attract traffic from the existing grade-separated crossings. Charleston Rd and Meadow Dr are likely to attract over 50% increases relative to the No Build Scenario 2 with Palo Alto Ave over 30%. Much of the additional traffic would be diverted from the currently grade-separated crossings. This is likely to improve the LOS on all the existing grade-separated crossings. 8.9 The model shows that the traffic that diverts to be the longer distance traffic, whereby decisions by drivers on changes in routing are made outside the City. 8.10 The more detailed examination of the individual intersection traffic operations shows that under the forecast “No Build Scenario 2” conditions, the intersection at the rail crossings would be operating at Level-of-Service F on an overall basis and could incur at least twice the delay experienced today. 8.11 For Caltrain crossing routes within the City that are assumed to remain at-grade, the traffic flow volumes are forecast to experience little change from 2017, and any additional traffic due to growth diverts to those crossings where there are grade separations. Such grade separations may be the existing ones or newly constructed ones. Thus, the traffic operational conditions for the routes that remain at-grade remain similar to today when a gate-closure does not interfere with the signal phasing. However, for the signal phases where a gate closure does impose on the phasing conditions, the motor vehicle level-of- service drops to F. In 2030 with full Caltrain modernization and high-speed rail train pre- emptions, this would occur a substantial number of times during the peak periods. 8.12 For the Caltrain crossing routes within the City that are assumed to be upgraded from at- grade to grade separated, the traffic volumes are likely to increase substantially. This could cause the level-of-service of the individual intersections on the crossing routes, close to the track, to deteriorate. 8.13 Any complete all-mode closures on the crossing routes will cause substantial reduction in mobility to bicyclists and pedestrians unless either an existing grade-separated crossing is close by or a new one is constructed. 8.14 In the period from 2011 to 2015, a total of 88 accident collisions were recorded, of which 32 involved injury and one (1) a fatality. New construction, either grade separations or closures, are likely to reduce this substantially.
