£1 Camino Real Traffic 1..1.6001 System City of Redwood City The surveys will be conducted along the study arterial separately by direction of travel and during each peak period analyzed. A minimum of three runs will be conducted by direction and by time period. Based on the results from the minimum runs, additional runs will be conducted, if required, to satisfy the statistical requirements as described in the Ma1wal of Traffic Engineering Studies. The "before" runs should ideally be conducted just prior to the implementation of the signal timing improvements. The surveys will be performed only upon staff review of the procedures and the proposed schedule. A memorandum providing the results of the "before" study will be submitted to the City staff and Caltrans staff. 5.6 Signal Tuning Sheets Tmùng sheets based on the approved signal timing analysis results will be prepared for project intersections and for the time periods analyzed. Timing sheets will indicate information such as cycle length, phase force- offs, and offsets. The timing sheets will be provided in the format suitable for implementation directly into the controllers for respective jurisdictions. 5.7 Fme Tuning MMA staff will spend significant amount of time in the field during this task. Thorough field surveys will be conducted for each peak as well as midday period, and for each system in determining any necessary adjustments in the implemented signal riming.c¡ to enhance traffic operations. An.y changes will be recorded to be used in the "after" simulation runs. In addition, MMA staff will be available to promptly answer any questions City/Caltrans staff may have regarding implemented timings. An.y "what if" scenario runs will be made as necessary during the "fine-tucing" task: to assure the "ideal" timing plans are implemented responding to field conditions. 5.8 "After" Study An. "after" study will be conducted using travel time and delay surveys. The after study will be conducted based on procedures established during the "before" study. The analysis of results from the "before" and "after" studies will provide the data for benefits assessment. A memorandum summarizing the results of the "after" study will be prepared. The results of the benefit assessment will include savings in travel time, delay, speed, fuel consumption, intersection approach/total delay, and estimated reduction in pollutants, if desired. MMA staff have been involved in a number of signal systems studies and have prepared benefits assessments for signal system improvements including signal timing, and roadway/intersection improvements. These results will also be compared against literature documP.nting average improvements observed in a large number of similar studies. TASK 6: COORDINATION AND CALTRANS REVIEW The proposed project is multi-jmisdictional in nature involving coordination with at least four agencies including Redwood City, Caltrans, San Carlos and Belmont MMA staff have significant experiences with multi- jurisdictional projects and will work with. the involved agencies to obtain relevant inputs pertaining to respective jurisdiction such as PS&E guidelines, signal timing guidelines, among others. In addition, the draft products will be reviewed with involved agencies to obtain any comments to finalizing the PS&E package and signal timing sheets. The review coordination process is specifically applicable for critical products such as conceptual design and proposed communication master plans for the study corridor.
