8 TRANSPORTATION & CIRCULATION

8.1 REGULATORY AGENCIES

Several regional agencies govern transportation planning in the Richmond area. The following gives a brief overview of the agencies.

8.1.1 Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) The CCTA is the County agency established to implement Measure C passed by voters in 1998 and its extension, Measure J, passed in 2004. These measures increased sales tax by one-half percent to fund a list of specific transportation improvement projects in Contra Costa County. Measure C also required the development of a Growth Management Program (GMP) to help control the spread of congestion. The CCTA board includes elected officials from the 18 cities within the County and the County itself. CCTA is responsible for preparing and updating the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CCTP), which lays out the transportation vision and specific improvement projects for the county. The CCTA includes several Regional Transportation Planning Committees that cover specific sub-areas of the County. Richmond and West Contra Costa County are within the West Contra Costa County Transportation Advisory Committee’s (WCCTAC) purview. The WCCTAC prepares a regional Action Plan (see below) that was last updated in July 2000. The CCTA also prepared the state-mandated Congestion Management Plan.

8.1.2 West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee The WCCTAC, under a joint powers agreement, is composed of elected officials from six member jurisdictions: El Cerrito, Hercules, Pinole, Richmond (three members), San Pablo, and Contra Costa County. The WCCTAC also includes members from three of the area’s transit providers: Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), Western Contra Costa County Transit Authority (WestCAT), and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). The WCCTAC prepared the West Contra Costa Action Plan 2000 Update, a revision to the West County Action Plan that was adopted in 1994. These Plans assess transportation issues within West Contra Costa County and outline a recommended package of goals, objectives and actions for addressing those issues. The Action Plan

DRAFT 3 City of Richmond General Plan Update

feeds into the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Plan (Congestion Management Plan). The latest CMP update was adopted by the CCTA in 2005.

Table 8.1: Routes of Regional Significance and Associated TSOs Route of Regional Traffic Service Objective Significance • Increase HOV lane usage by 10% • 10% increase in transit ridership I-80 • Maintain LOS "E" on all segments • 2,000 daily ridership on Capitol and San Joaquin Corridor trains • Complete the I-80 Bikeway Corridor between the El Cerrito del Norte BART station & Hercules • Achieve a drive alone rate no greater than 75% I-580 • 5% increase in transit ridership • Achieve LOS "E" or better on all segments • Establish direct or indirect bicycle access over the Richmond – San Rafael Bridge • 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials 23rd Street • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Carlson • Boulevard • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Cutting • Boulevard • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials • 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials El Portal Drive • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials San Pablo • Avenue • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Provide a bikeway network along regionally significant arterials • Achieve a drive alone rate of no more than 75% • Increase average ridership as much as possible with initial goal of achieving a 10% increase to 3,000 average weekday daily riders San Pablo Dam • The ratio of peak hour travel time to off-peak travel time (delay index) should be no greater than Road 2.0 • The maximum wait time for drivers on side streets wishing to access San Pablo Dam Road should be no greater than one signal cycle length • Provide facilities to improve pedestrian and bicycle access with related safety enhancements along San Pablo Dam Road 5% increase in transit ridership for bus lines that serve regionally significant arterials Richmond • Parkway • Maintain LOS "D" or better on all segments of regionally significant arterials • Identify and apply for funding for bikeways on or near the Richmond Parkways

In addition to laying out planned future transportation improvement projects, the Action Plan designates Routes of Regional Significance and sets Traffic Service Objectives (TSOs). The Action Plan sets TSOs (Table 8.1 lists the TSOs for the facilities in the Transportation Analysis Study Area, plus the freeways serving the Planning Area) for the Routes of Regional Significance based on travel speeds and delay indices, and the Traffic Service Objective Monitoring Report monitors the operating conditions on a four to five year basis. Travel speeds are taken directly from field measurements, and delay indices

4 DRAFT Issues & Opportunities: Transportation & Circulation

are computed as the ratio between point-to-point travel time under free-flow conditions versus congested (i.e., peak period) conditions. The TSO Monitoring Report provides the most up-to-date results for the TSOs outlined in the Action Plan.

8.1.3 Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) The MTC is the Bay Area’s regional transportation planning agency and is responsible for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), a comprehensive blueprint for the development of mass transit, highway, airport, seaport, railroad, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities. The RTP is a 20-year plan and is updated every two years. The Commission also screens requests from local agencies for state and federal grants for transportation projects to determine compatibility with the RTP.

MTC is the federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Bay Area. In recent years, state and federal laws have given MTC an increasingly important role in financing Bay Area transportation improvements. Most significant was the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), which increased the powers of MPOs like MTC to determine the mix of transportation projects best suited to meet their region’s needs. MTC also administers state monies, including those provided by the Transportation Development Act. Legislation passed in 1997 gives MTC increased decision-making authority over the selection of projects and allocation of funds for the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

8.2 ROADWAY SYSTEM

8.2.1 Street Classifications Map 8.1 illustrates the roadway system in the Planning Area including the Routes of Regional Significance as designated by the CCTA. The system is composed of freeways, parkways, major thoroughfares, secondary thoroughfares, and minor streets. Freeways serve regional and inter-city trips and are maintained by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). In Richmond, I-580 and I-80 are state- maintained freeways. Parkways are highways that provide movement of through traffic at speeds exceeding those acceptable on other surface streets. Access is controlled and at- grade crossings are permitted. The Richmond Parkway is the only parkway in the City. The current Richmond General Plan (1994) defines Routes of Regional Significance, major thoroughfares and secondary thoroughfares as follows:

Routes of Regional Significance – Roadways that connect two or more "regions" of Contra Costa County, cross Contra Costa County boundaries, carry a significant amount of traffic, or provide access to a regional highway or a transit facility.

DRAFT 5 City of Richmond General Plan Update

Major Thoroughfares – Arterial streets that serve large volumes of traffic between communities and between other land use areas and facilities generating large amounts of traffic. Major thoroughfares desirably have a median.

Secondary Thoroughfares – Roadways that serve as a connection between major land use areas and facilities and between major circulation elements such as freeways, major thoroughfares and transit stations. Secondary thoroughfares have two or more moving lanes of traffic and intersecting traffic is controlled by stop signs or traffic signals. Access to abutting property is not generally controlled.

Minor Streets are the remaining local roadways used to travel within neighborhoods, and are typically designed to discourage through-traffic in residential areas.

The following describes the freeways, parkway, and thoroughfares (arterial roadways) in the study area.

Freeways Interstate 80 is an east-west freeway connecting San Francisco to points across the country to the east. In Richmond, I-80 runs in a north-south alignment. To the south of Richmond, I-80 connects to Albany, Berkeley, the Bay Bridge, and San Francisco. To the north, I-80 connects to Hercules, the Carquinez Bridge, and Solano County. Through Richmond, I-80 has three mixed-flow lanes and one High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction.

Interstate 580 is an east-west freeway serving Richmond and southwestern Contra Costa County with connections to Marin County to the west and Alameda and San Joaquin Counties, and the Central Valley to the east. I-580 connects with I-238, I-205, and I-5 to the east and U.S. 101 to the west. In Richmond, I-580 has three mixed-flow lanes in each direction.

Parkway Richmond Parkway/Canal Boulevard (north of West Cutting Boulevard) is a four- to six-lane expressway extending from I-80 where there are east and westbound on- and off-ramps, past Hilltop Mall and on to I-580. Before connecting with I-580 and west to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the Richmond Parkway splits into two parallel segments, Castro Street and Garrard Boulevard. Each of these roadways has an I-580 interchange. The speed limit on the Richmond Parkway is 50 miles per hour (mph).

8.2.2 Existing Freeway Operations The CCTA monitors the operation of I-80 and I-580 in the study area because they are Routes of Regional Significance. Volumes based on Caltrans data and service levels from the 2004 TOS Monitoring Report are presented in Table 8.2. There are four monitoring sites on I-80 as presented in the CCTA TOS Monitoring Report and two for I- 580. They all have a TSO of LOS E.

Based on the 2000 data, three of the four I-80 segments fail (i.e., operate at LOS F) in the peak direction (westbound in the AM and eastbound in the PM) and all segments operate above the standard on I-580.

8.2.3 Existing Volumes The General Plan Update Existing Conditions Report includes 26 of the most critical intersections in the city as determined by the General Plan consultants and City staff. The 26 intersections selected include arterial-arterial intersections and seven freeway interchange ramp intersections.

The City of Richmond collects traffic monitoring data to determine existing roadway and intersection conditions every two to four years for CCTA. Intersection counts include AM peak hour (one hour between 7 AM and 9 AM) and PM peak hour (one hour between 4 PM and 6 PM) turning movement volumes. The 2005 Richmond Traffic Monitoring Study, the most recent study available, contains traffic count data for 12 of the General Plan study intersections. Richmond also delivered a technical memorandum to MTC in 2005 for the Regional Signal Timing Program. That report contains count data for two of the General Plan study intersections. The count data for the remaining 12 intersections was collected by Fehr & Peers in April 2006.

The study intersections are listed below, and their locations are shown on Map 8.2. The control type is also listed as signal (S), all-way stop (AWS), or side-street stop (SSS). The traffic volume data is included in the Technical Appendix. Of the 26 study intersections, 22 are signalized and four are unsignalized (stop sign controlled). Figure 8.1 shows the lane geometries and control type for the study intersections.

8.2.4 Existing Intersection Operations To determine the operating conditions of an intersection or roadway, the concept of level of service (LOS) is commonly used. The LOS is a rating system ranging from LOS A to LOS F, where LOS A represents free-flow conditions and LOS F represents jammed conditions. The City of Richmond uses the intersection LOS analysis method required by the CCTA’s Technical Procedures, termed CCTALOS, which relates service level to volume-to-capacity ratio. The volume-to-capacity ratio relates the total traffic volume for critical opposing movements to the theoretical capacity for those movements. This methodology can only be applied to signalized locations. Twenty-two (22) of the study intersections are signalized. Table 8.3 summarizes the LOS criteria for the CCTA (signalized) method.

Table 8.3: Signalized Intersection Level of Service Criteria Average Control Level of Sum of Critical Description Delay Per Service V/C Ratio Vehicle (Seconds) Progression is extremely favorable and most vehicles arrive during the green phase. A < 0.60 < 10.0 Most vehicles do not stop at all. Short cycle lengths may also contribute to low delay. Progression is good, cycle lengths are short, or both. B More vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher 0.61 - 0.70 > 10.0 to 20.0 levels of average delay. Higher congestion may result from fair progression, longer cycle lengths, or both. Individual cycle C failures may begin to appear at this level, though 0.71 - 0.80 > 20.0 to 35.0 many vehicles still pass through the intersection without stopping. The influence of congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays may result from some combination of unfavorable progression, long cycle D 0.81 - 0.90 > 35.0 to 55.0 lengths, and/or high V/C ratios. Many vehicles stop, and the proportion of vehicles not stopping declines. Individual cycle failures are noticeable. This level is considered by many agencies to be the limit of acceptable delay. High delay values E generally indicate poor progression, long cycle 0.91 - 1.00 > 55.0 to 80.0 lengths, and high V/C ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent occurrences. This level is considered unacceptable with oversaturation, which is when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection. This level F may also occur at high V/C ratios below 1.0 with > 1.00 > 80.0 many individual cycle failures. Poor progression and long cycle lengths may also be contributing factors to such delay levels. Source: Technical Procedures (Contra Costa Transportation Authority, 1997).

For the four remaining unsignalized intersections (all-way stop-controlled and side-street stop-controlled), the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual (2000) method was used. With this method, operations are defined by the average control delay per vehicle (measured in seconds) for movements that must yield the right-of-way. This incorporates delay associated with deceleration, acceleration, stopping, and moving up in the queue. For all-way stop intersections, all vehicles stop and the intersection LOS is based on the average control delay for all intersections. For side-street stop-controlled intersections, the delay is typically represented for the movement with the highest delay. Table 8.4 summarizes the relationship between delay and LOS for unsignalized intersections.

Table 8.5 shows the service levels based on the existing traffic volumes. The turning volumes are shown on Figure 8.2 and traffic count sheets are provided in the Technical Appendix. The 2005-2006 data indicate that 20 signalized intersections and all four unsignalized intersections currently operate at acceptable levels (LOS D or better), including the Routes of Regional Significance which meet the transportation service objectives (TSOs) laid out in the WCCTAC Transportation Plan. The two poor service levels identified are at Richmond Parkway/Blume Drive, which operates at LOS E during the PM peak hour, and San Pablo Dam Road/Amador Road, which operates at LOS E during the AM and PM peak hours.

8.2.5 Planned Improvements MTC’s Transportation 2030 Plan is the Bay Area’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) that includes “New Commitment” projects, or those that are financially constrained but may be funded in the next five to ten years. There are three Richmond projects that are in this category. These include the Richmond Intermodal Transfer Station, non-capacity- increasing improvements to interchanges and parallel arterials to I-80, and enhancements to AC Transit bus service for the San Pablo corridor in Contra Costa County. The purpose of the Intermodal Transfer Station project is to develop the Richmond Transit

Village by replacing some of the surface parking with a 680-space parking garage to the BART Station. This would provide space for compact development at the station. There is $7.0 million available for this project and an additional $6.0 million is needed. The second project relevant to Richmond is the improvements to I-80 interchanges and parallel arterials which would improve operations of streets parallel to I-80 in Contra Costa County, including Richmond. The budget for this project is $12.3 million and no funds have been set aside. The third New Commitment project is enhancements to AC Transit bus services for the major arterial San Pablo corridor. This has no funds set aside, and has a budget of $8.5 million.

There are other New Commitment projects included in the RTP that are scheduled for future funding that would affect Richmond. These include I-80/San Pablo Dam Road interchange improvements, Richmond Parkway/San Pablo Avenue grade separation, upgrading Richmond Parkway geometries to principal arterial standards, a new Richmond intermodal transfer station building, Richmond Parkway Transit Center improvements, and I-80/Central Avenue interchange modifications. These projects are all financially constrained.

CCTA is also starting studies to improve the intersections of San Pablo Dam Road/Amador Road / I-80 Eastbound Ramps, Central Avenue/I-80 Westbound Ramps, and Central Avenue/I-80 Eastbound Ramps. The San Pablo Dam Road/Amador Road / I- 80 Eastbound Ramps was the subject of a 2004 Caltrans study report that estimated the improvements to cost $17.2 million to $24.7 million, and no preliminary studies or estimates have been made for the Central Avenue intersections. These projects are eligible for CCTA Measure J funding.

The City of Richmond’s Redevelopment Agency recently performed several transportation-related studies including a grade separated railroad overpass feasibility study near Marina Bay and an economic revitalization plan for Macdonald Avenue. In addition, the Redevelopment Agency recently began a streetscape improvement project on east Macdonald Avenue.

The Richmond Intermodal Transit Station’s location is on Metro Walk Way and is adjacent to the Marina Way/Barrett Avenue intersection. The Intermodal Transit Station will provide links between BART, Amtrak, AC Transit, and WestCat.

8.4 FREIGHT MOVEMENT

There are 28 designated truck routes in the City of Richmond, as shown on Map 8.4. Many of these truck routes are located south of I-580 where they access port terminals on the Richmond Harbor. Truck routes also extend to northern Richmond near Hilltop Mall and on I-580, I-80, and the Richmond Parkway.

Freight movement is also accomplished by rail in Richmond. Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Union Pacific (UP), and Richmond Pacific (RP) operate the various tracks in the city. Map 8.5 shows the tracks and the operating companies. BNSF operates an average of 20 trains per day, with train lengths varying from 10 to 100 cars. On the tracks north of Garrard Boulevard, trains travel up to 55 mph, and on tracks west and south of Garrard Boulevard, trains travel 10 mph.

UP owns the Capitol Corridor tracks that passenger and freight trains use on a daily basis. The passenger train headways are described in the transit section. There are about 24 passenger trains and 43 freight trains using these tracks on a typical weekday. The Capitol Corridor tracks run parallel to Carlson Boulevard, stop at the Richmond BART/Amtrak Station, then continue parallel to Rumrill Boulevard toward Point Pinole. Amtrak passenger trains travel up to 70 mph and the UP freight trains travel up to 55 mph.

RP operates on tracks south of I-580, between South 4th Street and Regatta Boulevard in the Richmond Harbor area and a section of track between the Richmond Parkway and Rumrill Boulevard. RP runs two trains with 10 to 20 cars long on the northern tracks, and as many as 32 trains with 2 to 20 cars per day on the southern tracks.

There are many locations in Richmond with at-grade railroad crossings of local streets. The RP line intersection with Marina Bay Parkway south of I-580 has been studied for a possible grade separation. Several other locations in Richmond present train/vehicle conflict issues, due to inherent difficulties with vehicle traffic flow, train movements, and sensitive near-by land uses. These include on John Avenue, Giant Highway, Market Avenue, Chesley Avenue, and West Richmond Avenue.

8.5 WATER FACILITIES

Richmond’s location on the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays makes the water a valuable resource for recreation and freight transportation. There are several marinas for

DRAFT 31 City of Richmond General Plan Update

recreational boats including Richmond Marina, Richmond Yacht Club located in the Richmond Inner Harbor, and Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor located on San Pablo Bay.

Three freight port terminals are located on the Richmond Inner Harbor, and Chevron operates its own pier north of Point Richmond. These are all located south of I-580 where there is interaction between the port terminals, freight trains, and truck traffic. Port Terminal 1 is located on the west side of Harbor Channel. Many vehicles are moved through this site, driving on/off ships. On the eastside of Harbor Channel, Terminals 2 and 3 are primarily used for the import and export freight containers.

Richmond is a candidate for a new East Bay ferry terminal. The Bay Area Water Transit Authority included Richmond as a potential terminal location site in its 2005 Terminal Site Analysis. Based on the study’s criteria, the report deemed Harbour Way South on Ford Peninsula as the best location for a proposed terminal in Richmond. The Ferry Location Study states that the City of Richmond must grade-separate the BNSF and RP railroad crossings that create barriers to vehicles traveling to/from Ford Peninsula. Other issues that need further study prior to selecting Richmond as a terminal site include provision of traveler information on nearby regional roadways, truck routing, and development of an overarching set of goals and principles for Richmond’s waterfront.

8.6 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES

Bicycle Facilities Richmond’s current General Plan includes a bicycle circulation map showing both existing and planned facilities throughout entire city. Richmond’s actual existing bicycle facilities, based on field surveys by Fehr & Peers, are shown on Map 8.6. On the figure, bicycle facilities are categorized into three classes.

• Class I Bikeway (Bike Path) provides a completely separate right-of-way and is designated for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with vehicle and pedestrian cross-flow minimized.

• Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane) provides a restricted right-of-way, and is designated for the use of bicycles with a striped lane on a street or highway. Bicycle lanes are generally at least four feet wide. Adjacent vehicle parking and vehicle/pedestrian cross-flow are permitted.

• Class III Bikeway (Bike Route) provides for a right-of-way designated by signs or pavement markings for shared use with pedestrians or motor vehicles.
