They are general, yet constitute a clear basis for approaching the study. They are broken down further in the Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process (Phase III), and in the very specific locations and problems defined under Special Considerations.. 1. From a series of alternative networks, utilize a Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process to select and recommend the best street and highway system to meet the present needs and the future needs to 1990. Recommendations are to be divided into three time - spans of priority and action: 1) Immediate, 2) Short -range to 1980, 3) Ilong -range to 1990. Primary study emphasis will be concentrated on the first two. 2. Evaluate and recommend the role to be played by public transit. 3. Analyze the locations of current traffic congestion which are not subject to improvement by the construction of additional traffic - carrying or storage facilities. Recommend a method for re- ducing such congestion. 4. Analyze a series of specific problem locations at which traffic, parking, or safety problems are prevalent. Recommend indi- vidual solutions. 5. Present an improvement program with projects in a priority order. Include cost estimates, project phasing, and potential funding resources. EXHIBIT "A" WORK PROGRAM The traffic study will be carried out in three phases. Phase I: Problem Identification Phase II: Alternative Plan Development Phase III: Plan Selection and Implementation Program se I - Problem Identification The problem identification Phase will include an inventory of existing and planned facilities, conditions, policies and attitudes. It will also include the developments of future travel demands in the Newport Beach area. The result of this phase will be the identification of existing and potential transportation problems. The following Tasks summarize the inventories that will be made and describe the methodology for the development of the traffic forecasts, and the problem identification. The Study Area. Boundaries are, clockwise: The Pacific Ocean, the Santa Ana River, the San Diego Freeway and as approximate north - south line connecting the Jeffrey Road interchange and Morro Bay. Task 1. Physical Conditions Inventory Existing topography, drainage conditions, and facilities, tidal and flood plain boundaries, natural landmarks and scenic vistas will be identified and mapped. 2. Comrnunity Facilities Inventor Existing and planned schools, libraries, hospitals, other public buildings, historical buildings and sites, parks and other community facilities will be identified and their importance determined. Task 3. Land Use Inventory Current land use patterns and use intensity will be determined for residential, commercial and business areas. Neighborhood development plans and community master plans will be obtained. The source of such plans will be documented, and their probability of implementation evaluated. 0 Economic Conditions Inventor Current information on property values (tax base), general building conditions, residential vacancy levels and employment locations and magnitude will be determined. Specific site develop- ment plans will be obtained and mapped. Pi Task 5. Demographic Conditions Inventor Existing population statistics and resident characteristics such as ethnic and racial composition, age distribution and family income will be determined. Trends will be analyzed to determine the direc- tion of any changing conditions. Task 6. Socio- Political Characteristics Through interviews with residents and public officials, neighbor- hood boundaries will be identified both as defined for planning purposes as well as those perceived by the community. Other boundaries such as school districts, fire department service areas, and improvement districts will also be identified. Task 7. Utilities Inventory The location of major existing and planned utilities such as high voltage power lines, trunk water mains and sewer lines will be identified. Task S. Facilities Invento Existing and committed street system capacities will be developed and public transportation service levels and coverage determined. Proposed street additions and freeway plans will be obtained. Existing parking facilities will be determined. Task 9• Public Attitudes Through interviews of and meetings with, lay people and com- munity leaders„ attitudes towards levels of future development, trans- portation needs, additional transportation facilities, community identi- fication, relocation possibilities, public transit, and related items will be determined. Specific questions to be answered by the discussion/ interview process will be jointly determined by the Consultant /CAC team. The consultant team will confer with the City Planning Department to determine if' the survey can be adjusted to provide secondary benefits to the development of the general plan. Task 10. Development of Traffic Forecasts Traffic forecasts will be developed from data available from the 3 1980 Los Angeles Interim Transportation Study ( LAITS). This study is being conducted by the Los Angeles Regional Transportation Study (LARTS) to develop a 1980 regionwide traffic forecast based on the most recent 1980 forecast of land use. To develop the 1980 forecasts for the Newport Beach Traffic Study, LAITS traffic forecast (i. e. , traffic zone to traffic zone trip movements) will be obtained from LARTS and all trips either passing through or having one end in the Newport Beach Traffic Study area will be extracted from the regionwide data. The LAITS traffic zones within the Study Area will be subdivided as necessary to get the desired level of detail, and then the LAITS 1980 forecast will be reassigned to the expanded traffic zone system. The final step in this procedure will be any adjustments necessary in the trip generation to account for differences between the 1980 land use forecast used in LAITS and the current 1980 land use forecast of Newport Beach, The 1990 traffic forecast for the Newport Beach Study Area will be developed from the 1980 traffic forecasts through the application of growth factors based on anticipated growth in popu- lation and employment. Comparisons with forecasts made for the Route I -55 Study, the North Orange Study (Route 57 Study) and for Irvine will be made to obtain the most reasonable estimate of 1990 traffic. Task 11. Problem Identification A general determination of current movement demands will be made by summarizing the results of the 1967 Origin - Destination Survey conducted by LARTS. This will result in a portrayal of the current movement patterns within the Newport Beach area, and will ..:4- L 0. • include external- external, internal - external, and internal-internal traffic movements. A more specific determination of current problems will result from a capacity analysis of the existing street system and from an analysis of the transportation movement demands which are being indadequately met as determined from the community surveys. Particular attention will be directed toward identifying Iroblems resulting from the high volumes of beach oriented traffic during the summer. Both the 1950 and 1990 traffic forecasts will be compared with the capacity available in the existing plus firmly committed street system. The results of this comparison will indicate the location and magnitude of potential traffic deficiencies and will be used to assist in the development of possible solution alternatives during the second phase of the study. Previously proposed transportation improvement plans will be analyzed based. on information determined from the inventory of existing and planned facilities and conditions and from public attitudes and opinions. The results of this analysis will be a description of negative as well as positive impacts the proposed plans would have on the community. The results of the capacity and impact analysis will be the essential input elements for the development of alternative solutions during the second phase of the traffic study. Phase II - Alternative Plan Development The development of alternative transportation plans will be performed with close support from the Citizens Advisory Committee, and the City technical staff. The primary purpose of this phase is to determine a series of preliminary solutions for evaluating and testing. While a dozen or more concepts might be considered, it's expected that those falling into the reasonable category will number four or less. A reason- able solution, at this point, will be one which can accommodate present and future traffic demands, create minimum environmental distrubance, and have an anticipated public acceptance. -5- Task 12. Determination of Networks Based on the problem identification, numerous transportation networks will be devised, including some with public transit emphasis. The: Citizens Advisory Committee, previous traffic studies, the City technical staff, and citizen response to the attitudinal surveys will all provide major input. 3 13. Network Evaluation Based on traffic accommodation, environmental impact and community acceptance, the alternative systems to be "tested" will be narrowed to four or less. The Citizens Advisory Committee will play a major role in this process. Task 14. Traffic Assignment This is the essential process in which internal - internal, internal - external, and external- external future traffic movements are assigned to the alternative networks to determine their operational feasibility. A computer assignment technique is planned which will proceed through a determination of individual zonal attraction /generation characteristics. Then, zone to zone traffic distribution (the amount of traffic moving from each zone to every other zone), and finally to traffic volumes on the network based on travel time through links of logically predicted speed. Phase III - Plan Selection and Implementation Program From the "narrowed" alternative list, a final plan will be selected as the most suitable. Such a plan may well be a combination of earlier alternatives, and may also utilize a combination of travel modes such as auto - bus -walls. Although a single plan will be presented and recom- mended, the other alternatives will be thoroughly discussed, and their evaluation documented. It will be made clear why the final plan emerged as most suitable. Finally, a program will be presented which lists the recommended transportation improvements in a priority order, including cost estimates. .. . _....:_or— ask 15. Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process The evaluation process will consider a series of criteria in which satisfaction of each criterion shall consist of the most positive, or least negative impact. For example (strictly), a criterion may be assigned a weighted value, and points earned for a "solution" on the basis of the degree to which that criterion is satisfied. ''The point total for all criteria would then constitute the relative desirability of that solution. The Citizens Advisory Committee shall share in the method of determining weighted values for the various criteria. The following 13 criteria, each forming a portion of the Study Goals and Objectives, shall be the basis for evaluation: 1. Best general freeway and /or major street network to meet the transportation demands. While regional traffic demands will be considered, primary emphasis will be placed on serving internal traffic needs. 2. Best provision of additional traffic capacity across Newport Bay. 3. Best provision for handling through traffic in the total east- west (coastal) corridor. 4. Best integration and balance between automobile usage and public transit. 5. Best utilization of freeway systems through local connection and access. 6. Best method of providing "people access" to the Balboa Peninsula and other concentrated areas. 7. Best method of reducing or eliminating present congestion, accident, and parking problems. 8. Most workable method of traffic problem solution. 9. Most possible plan to fund and build. 10. Best plan for community and environmental protection and enhancement. 11. Plan most likely to obtain public acceptance and support. 12. Best plan for handling major "seasonal" traffic surges. 13. Conformance to the California Coastal Highway Planning Policy. . _g_ Task 16. Plan Selection Based on the Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process, a final plan will be selected and recommended. Other alternatives will be discussed and their evaluation documented. Task 17. Implementation Program 3 For the selected plan, a program will be presented which lists the recommended additions and improvements to the transportation system in a priority order. Cost estimates, project phasing where necessary, and. potential funding sources will be included. 0 n, SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS The study, where such st)ecifics have not been previously included in the evaluation of alternatives, will provide analysis, discussion, con- clusions, and recommendations concerning the following specific items: 1) Feasibility of transportation modes other than the private 3 automobile in the Newport Beach area. 2) Long range effects of transportation modes other than automobiles. 3) Alternatives to a coastal freeway in Newport Beach. 4) Advantages and disadvantages of a coastal freeway in Newport Beach. 5) Traffic irnpact if no major improvements are made to the existing transportation system. 6) Changes to arterial street system necessary to meet projected traffic demands without freeways. 7) Community and neighborhood impacts of any recommended changes in. the arterial street system. - without freeways. 8) Preliminary cost estimates of any recommended changes in the arterial street system - without freeways. 9) Responsibilities for costs of changes (state, county, city, developers). 10) Impact of coastal freeway on city street system traffic. 11) Impact of coastal freeway on community and neighborhood amenities. 12) Increase in local street traffic resulting from freeway construction. 13) Changes to arterial street system necessary to meet projected traffic demands - with freeways. 14) Preliminary cost estimates of any recommended changes in arterial street system - with freeways. 15) Possible alternative routes for coastal freeway. 16) Community and neighborhood impacts of alternate routes. 17) Possible use of a shallow draft automobile ferry crossing near the upper bay narrows, together with consideration of capital and operating costs. 6M . 0 0 18) Traffic needs for a mid -bay arterial street (bridge) crossing, (a) without a coastal freeway and (b) with a coastal freeway. 19) Possible need for more than one crossing of mid -bay. 20) Community and neighborhood impacts of mid -bay bridge or bridges. 21) Costs of mid -bay crossing. g 22) Assignment of costs for mid -bay crossing. 23) Effects on upper bay as an estuary if narrows bridge were constructed. 24) Effects on recreational characteristics of upper bay if mid -bay crossing is constructed. 25) ' Use of tunnels for upper bay crossings and other highways. 26) Traffic and. community impacts if Corona del Mar Freeway terminated, (a) at San Joaquin Hills Road, (b) at Coast Highway with no coastal freeway. 27) Traffic and. community impacts if Newport Freeway terminated, (a) at city limits, (b) at Coast Highway with no coastal freeway. 28) Effects of routing Corona del Mar Freeway northerly of San Joaquin Hills Road in its downcoast reach through Corona del Mar.

Physical Conditions Inventor Existing topography, drainage conditions, and facilities, tidal and flood plain boundaries, natural landmarks and scenic vistas will be identified and mapped. Task 2. Community Facilities Inventory Existing and planned schools, libraries, hospitals, other public buildings, historical buildings and sites, parks and other community facilities will be identified and their importance determined. Task 3. Land Use Inventor Current land use patterns and use intensity will be determined for residential, commercial and business areas. Neighborhood development plans and community master plans will be obtained. The source of such plans will be documented, and their probability of implementation evaluated. -2- sk 4. Economic Conditions Inventor Current information on property values (tax base), general building conditions, residential vacancy levels and employment locations and magnitude will be determined. Specific site develop- ment plans will be obtained and mapped. Task 5. Demographic Conditions Inventory Existing population statistics and resident characteristics such as ethnic and racial composition, age distribution and family income will be determined. Trends will be analyzed to determine the direc- tion of any changing conditions. Task 6. Socio- Political Characteristics Through interviews with residents and public officials, neighbor- hood boundaries will be identified both as defined for planning purposes as well as those perceived by the community. Other boundaries such as school districts, fire department service areas, and improvement districts will also be identified. Task 7. Utilities Inventor The location of major existing and planned utilities such as high voltage power lines, trunk water mains and sewer lines will be identified. Task 8. Transportation Facilities Inventory Existing and committed street system capacities will be developed and public transportation service levels and coverage determined. Proposed street additions and freeway plans will be obtained. Existing parking facilities will be determined. Task 9. Public Attitudes Through interviews of and meetings with, lay people and com- munity leaders, attitudes towards levels of future development, trans- portation needs, additional transportation facilities, community identi- fication, relocation possibilities, public transit, and related items will be determined.. Specific questions to be answered by the discussion/ interview process will be jointly determined by the Consultant /CAC team. -3- The consultant team will confer with the City Planning Department to determine if the survey can be adjusted to provide secondary benefits to the development of the general plan. Task 10. Development of Traffic Forecasts Traffic forecasts will be developed from data available from the 1980 Los Angeles Interim Transportation Study ( LAITS). This study is being conducted by the Los Angeles Regional Transportation Study (LARTS) to develop a 1980 regionwide traffic forecast based on the most recent 1980 forecast of land use. To develop the 1980 forecasts for the Newport Beach Traffic Study, LAITS traffic forecast (i. e. , traffic zone to traffic zone trip movements) will be obtained from LARTS and all trips either passing through or having one end in the Newport Beach Traffic Study area will be extracted from the regionwide data. The LAITS traffic zones within the Study Area will be subdivided as necessary to get the desired level of detail, and then the LAITS 1980 forecast will be reassigned to the expanded traffic zone system. The final step in this procedure will be any adjustments necessary in the trip generation to account for differences between the 1980 land use forecast used in LAITS and the current 1980 land use forecast of Newport Beach, The 1990 traffic forecast for the Newport Beach Study Area will be developed from the 1980 traffic forecasts through the application of growth factors based on anticipated growth in popu- lation and employment. Comparisons with forecasts made for the Route I -55 Study, the North Orange Study (Route 57 Study) and for Irvine will be made to obtain the most reasonable estimate of 1990 traffic. Task 11. Problem Identification A general determination of current movement demands will be made by summarizing the results of the 1967 Origin- Destination Survey conducted by LARTS. This will result in a portrayal of the current movement patterns within the Newport Beach area, and will include external - external, internal - external, andinternal - internal traffic movements. A more specific determination of current problems will result from a capacity analysis of the existing street system and from an analysis of the transportation movement demands which are being indadequately met as determined from the community surveys. Particular attention will be directed toward identifying problems resulting from the high volumes of beach oriented traffic during the summer. Both the 1.980 and 1990 traffic forecasts will be compared with the capacity available in the existing plus firmly committed street system. The results of this comparison will indicate the location and magnitude of potential traffic deficiencies and will be used to assist in the development of possible solution alternatives during the second phase of the study. Previously proposed transportation improvement plans will be analyzed based on information determined from the inventory of existing and planned facilities and conditions and from public attitudes and opinions. The results of this analysis will be a description of negative as well as positive impacts the proposed plans would have on the community. The results of the capacity and impact analysis will be the essential input elements for the development of alternative solutions during the second phase of the traffic study. Phase II - Alternative Plan Development The development of alternative transportation plans will be performed with close support from the Citizens Advisory Committee, and the City technical staff. The primary purpose of this phase is to determine a series of preliminary solutions for evaluating and testing. While a dozen or more concepts might be considered, it's expected that those falling into the reasonable category will number four or less. A reason- able solution, at this point, will be one which can accommodate present and future traffic demands, create minimum environmental distrubance, and have an anticipated public acceptance. -5- Task 12. Determination of Networks Based on the problem identification, numerous transportation networks will be devised, including some with public transit emphasis. The Citizens Advisory Committee, previous traffic studies, the City technical staff, and citizen response to the attitudinal surveys will all provide major input. Task 13. Network Evaluation Based on traffic accommodation, environmental impact and community acceptance, the alternative systems to be "tested" will be narrowed to four or less. The Citizens Advisory Committee will play a major role in this process. Task 14. Traffic Assignment This is the essential process in which internal - internal, internal - external, and external- external future traffic movements are assigned to the alternative networks to determine their operational feasibility. A computer assignment technique is planned which will proceed through a determination of individual zonal attraction /generation characteristics. Then, zone to zone traffic distribution (the amount of traffic moving from each zone to every other zone), and finally to traffic volumes on the network based on travel time through links of logically predicted speed. Phase III - Plan Selection and Implementation Prosram From the "narrowed" alternative list, a final plan will be selected as the most suitable. Such a plan may well be a combination of earlier alternatives, and may also utilize a combination of travel modes such as auto -bus -walk. Although a single plan will be presented and recom- mended,' the other alternatives will be thoroughly discussed, and their evaluation documented. It will be made clear why the final plan emerged as most suitable. Finally, a program will be presented which lists the recommended transportation improvements in a priority order, including cost estimates. M Task 15. Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process The evaluation process will consider a series of criteria in which satisfaction of each criterion shall consist of the most positive, or least negative impact. For example (strictly), a criterion may be assigned a weighted value, and points earned for a "solution" on the basis of the degree to which that criterion is satisfied. The point total for all criteria would then constitute the relative desirability of that solution. The Citizens Advisory Committee shall share in the method of determining weighted values for the various criteria. The following 13 criteria, each forming a portion of the Study Goals and Objectives, shall be the basis for evaluation: 1. Best general freeway and /or major street network to meet the transportation demands. While regional traffic demands will be considered, primary emphasis will be placed on serving internal traffic needs. 2. Best provision of additional traffic capacity across Newport Bay.. 3. Best provision for handling through traffic in the total east - west (coastal) corridor. 4. Best integration and balance between automobile usage and public transit. 5. Best: utilization of freeway systems through local connection and access. 6. Best: method of providing "people access" to the Balboa Peninsula and other concentrated areas. 7. Best. method of reducing or eliminating present congestion, accident, and parking problems. 8. Most workable method of traffic problem solution. 9. Most possible plan to fund and build. 10. Best: plan for community and environmental protection and enhancement. 11. Plan. most likely to obtain public acceptance and support. 12. Best plan for handling major "seasonal" traffic surges. 13. Conformance to the California Coastal Highway Planning Policy. -7- Task 16. Plan Selection i Based on the Multi- Criteria Evaluation Process, a final plan will be selected and recommended. Other alternatives will be discussed and their evaluation documented. Task 17. Implementation Program For the selected plan, a program will be presented which lists the recommended additions and improvements to the transportation system in a priority order. Cost estimates, project phasing where necessary, and potential funding sources will be included.
