SCHEDULED MATTERS
6. REVIEW OF TRAFFIC SAF'E'TY CONDLTIONS
INTERSECTION OF IMPERIAL. HIGHWAY AND BIRCH STREET
J. Oskou:i explained that, a traffic study was conducted and
completed by the Public Works Department in response to
Councilmember Hei.ne's request made to examine the safety
conditions of the intersection of Imperial Highway and Birch
Street
J. Oskoui explained that upon completion of the study, staff's
recommendation to improve the safety conditions is to prohibit
left turn movements from northbound Birch Street onto westbound
Imperial. Highway from 7 :00 a.m to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m, to
6:00 p.m., except Saturdays, Sunday's and holidays.
Commissioner Pacheco expressed concern that some motorist have
been seen to make illegal left turns into and out of the drive-
ways of the private property at the southwest corner of Birch
Street and Imperial Highway.
J. Oskoui suggested that the Sheriff's Department be notified to
conduct a temporary selective surveillance of the -: location to
site motorist who make illegal turns into the driveways of that
particular private property. J. Oskoui. also mentioned that, as
part of the report is a SWITERs Report and other supporting
documents for Commission review. Discussion followed.
Commissioner Cunningham suggested that the subject item be
reviewed again in one year.
Commissioner Wright motion to accept staff's recommendation to
eliminate .left turn movements from northbound Birch Street onto
westbound Imperial. Highway and the motion was seconded by Commis-
sioner Archambault. It was passed unanimously.
Commissioner Cunningham expressed that the staff report was very
detai.led and complete and he complimented them for providing the
Commission with a good and complete report.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
Jahanshah Oskoui gave a brief presentation of the current Public
Works projects:

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council� /�
Emilio M. Murga, Acting Director of Public Works
Traffic Signal Retiming
Purpose
It is recommended that the City Council review the alternatives
and select Alternative 2 to address the retiming
signals in the City. of the traffic
Background
The City presently has 53 traffic signals, 47 have "170" type
traffic controllers, 30 of which are synchronized to maintain
traffic progression along Imperial Highway, Atlantic Ave and
Long Beach Blvd., the remaining 6 have electromechanical control-
lers (see Attachment A and B).
The City's signal system was modernized in 1982. The project
consisted of the installation of 31 "170" type traffic control-
lers on Imperial Highway, Atlantic Avenue and Long Beach Boule-
vard and the implementation of a "time based" coordination timing
plan. The project was funded by a Hazard Elimination Safety
(HES) Federal grant During this project the protected left
turns (left arrows) were installed at the intersections of Impe-
rial Highway and Martin Luther Xing B1 Imperial Highway and
Long Beach B1. and MLX and Long Beach B1., these protected left
turns did not meet minimum traffic warrants but were nevertheless
installed at the City's request in 1981
The signals along Imperial Highway, Atlantic Avenue and Long
Beach Boulevard were last retimed in June, 1984 with a "Fuel
£fficience" grant from the California Energy Commission. The
grant provided for the gathering of traffic data, analysis of the
signal system, running of a Transit 7F computer program to come
up with the signal timing, optimizing the traffic model, field
implementing the timing and fine tuning the timing plan. The
computer program looks at the total traffic system and
optimal timing plan to reduce total selects an
system delay and fuel consun-
tion, thereby also reducing smog and keeping traffic flowing
smoothly, (See copy of City Council item accepting the project,
Attachment "C ")
The present timing plan calls for the following cycles:
6:30am to 8:30am
8:30am to 3:00pn
3:00pm to 7:30pm
7:30pm to 6:30am
80 second cycle
75 second cycle
80 second cycle
75 second cycle
The timing plan is designed to keep platoons of traffic moving
smoothly at an average speed of 32 mph, maintain delays to the
minimum and reduce fuel consumption. The protected left turns
are kept to the minimum in order to provide maximum time for the
through traffic, since the turning volumes are only a fraction of
the through movements.

Analysis.
Since the timming plan was implemented in 1984, traffic on the
City's arterial streets has increased, traffic patterns may have
also changed, generating complaints about long ques on the arte-
rial intersections and short time for the protected left turns
MLK Blvd. was not included in the timing plan in 1984, since it
did not have the proper controller equipment Since then the old
controllers have been progressively replaced with "170" type
controllers capable of maintaining coordination for traffic
progression, but a timing plan has yet to be develop alowing MLY
Blvd. to be interconnected with the rest of the system.
It would cost approximately $1300 per sign,alyzed intersection to
retime the traffic signals, totalling $53,300 (Say $54,000) for
the City's 41 signals on the Imperial Hwy, Atlantic Ave, Long
Beach B1, and MLK B1. systems
In addition when the I -105 Freeway opens in October, 1993, the
traffic patterns and volumes in the City will be greatly affect-
ed, requiring a new traffic analysis and the lmplemention of a
new traffic plan.
Staff has reviewed several alternatives, (see Attachment "D"
1. Maintain the same timming plan, investigate the implemen-
tation of protected /permissive left turns at intersections where
where we now only have protected left turns, investigate increas-
ing left turns without increasing delays and ques substantially
Traffic engineering services from a consulting firm will be
required in addition to some equipment modifications, these will
cost approximately $14,000. Implement a new timing plan after
the I -105 Freeway opens
2. Apply for a net: "Fuel Efficient" grant of $54,000 from
the State of California to develop and implement a new timing
plan to retime 41 of the City's traffic signals, along Imperial
Hwy., Atlantic Ave., Long Beach B1., and MLK B1. There is an
excellent chance for the City to get the grant since in the last
two years all the applying cities have received grants. The
grant funds will become available to the City in January 1991.
An RFP could be issued and the traffic engineering consultant
selected by the time the grant becomes available in January 1991
It will take 6 month to finish, the completion date would there-
fore be July, 1991, (see Attachment "E ")
3. Issue an RFP to hire a traffic engineering firm that
specializes in developing and implementing timing plans. The
estimated costs are $54,000 and it will take 8 months to implet
ment, 2 months for RFP /consultant selection and 6 months to
implement the timing plan. If we were to start now the comple-
tion date would be January, 1991 An appropriation of $54,000
would need to be made if this option is selected. Funds are
available under the Traffic Signal fund
Since there is only 6 months difference between the proposed
completion of Alternative 3 versus Alternative 2, it is recom-
mended that the City Council select Alternative 2. Authorizing
staff to issue an RFP for for traffic engineering services to
develop and implement a new timing plan and apply for a State
grant of $54,000 to pay for these services
In addition will immediately restripe any faded third lanes
on all signalyzed intersections and adjust the timing plan to
increase the hours that the 80 second cycle is in operation
Recommendation.
It is recommended that the City Council review the alternatives
and select Alternative 2 to address the retiming of the traffic
signals in the City. ,

DISCUSSION
Through this program, the City was assisted in using the tarputer modeling
P TRANSYT (Traffic Network Study Tool) to optimize the signal timing
for 30 traffic signals along
Beach Boulevard, Imperial AIghaay, Atlantic Avenue and Long
The project involved the following work:
rocumentatian of existing signal timing.
Deteanination of on -street traffic volumes.
Calculation (similation) of existing travel times, stops
and fuel consurtpticn.
Carputer modeling with TRANSYT to deteanine optima.^:
signal timing.
Implementation and "fine tuning" of optimized timing.
Comparison of TRANSYT simulation and Optimization.
Field verification of inprove�nts indicated by TRANSIT
The comparison of the new optimized timine plan to the previous tuning
plan indicates an overall fuel savings of approximately 4 Percnet and an
ir=eased average speed (including stop ti.•m) of approximately 3 percent.
The grant funds covered the costs of all aspects of traffic signal timing
optimization, data collection end processing, cmputer access and time,
tlming Plan development and implementation and evaluation, personnel costs
direct costs and indirect expenses for Staff and outside consultants were
refunded under this program. (1008 CEC participation.)
It is recamrended that th City Council accept the Traffic Signal Timing
Optimization for Fuel Efficiency Project as being complete, and receive
and file the project report.

Program Background /Overview
In response to gasoline supply uncertainties and price increases, the
California Energy commission (CEC) pursued policies and programs in the
early 19809 to increase the efficiency in the State's use of liquid
fuels. The CEC identified and assessed strategies to conserve liquid
fuels and mitigate the adverse impacts of any future fuel supply
disruption. One such strategy explored was the conservation of fuel
through traffic signal management improvements.
It was found that most signal systems were operated at a sub - optimal
level with regard to both fuel efficiency and delay. The basic reasons
for this were that few local agencies had the staff or fiscal resources
to systematically evaluate and upgrade signal timing, and even fewer
':ad staff expertise to utilize the tools and techniques available. The
=C determined that State attention should be given to reducing the
estimated 3.5 to 4.0 billion gallons of fuel consumed annually on
California's urban signalized facilities.
Backed by a high benefit /cost ratio and support from State and local
transportation agencies, the CEC obtained funding for a statewide
signal optimization program. Thus, the Fuel Efficient Traffic Signal
Management (FETSIM) program for local governments was initiated in
January 1983. It was transferred by the State Legislature to the
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in late 1983.
The FETSIM program provides direct financial, training and technical
assistance to local agencies, who are responsible for over 80 percent
of the traffic signals in the state. Its goal is to help local traffic
engineers reduce unnecessary stops, delays, and fuel consumption
through the development of more effective traffic signal timing plans.
To develop efficient timing plans, the Traffic Network Study Tool
(TRANSYT) is used by the program. This computer tool has the ability
to simulate and optimize both grid and arterial signal systems. It can
—lso be used for future updating of timing plans and other traffic
elated analyses.
The grant program targets traffic control systems currently coordinated
and controlled in a manner that permits implementation of multiple
timing plans (i.e., timing plans that match traffic needs at different
times of day). BY focusing on traffic signal systems that currently
have these capabilities, maximum energy savings can be realized with
the available funds. Eligible systems can range from those with
sophisticated computer- controlled units to fixed -time electromechanical
dial unite. Coordination can be supplied by either a physical
interconnection or a time -based method. If a jurisdiction feels that
its system would benefit from updating signal timing, it should apply
for FETSIM funds.

1983 - 1967 Program Participation /Results
P. 06
Five grant cycles have been conducted since the program inception in
January 1963. The following is a summary of pertinent facts related to
program participation over the five -year period:
0 140 grant projects conducted
0 93 separate local jurisdictions participated
0 5,200 signalized intersections retimed
o $27,000 median grant amount (with a range of $5,700 - $288,000)
0 25-intersection median project size (with a range of 7 - 267
intersections)
The FETSIM program has documented a 50+ to 1 benefit /cost ratio,
assuming that the benefits of signal retiming have an average
three -year life span. Results from the first three years of the
program are shown below. Preliminary results from the fourth grant
cycle are consistent with the three -year average. An average annual
fuel savings of 6,000 gallons per intersection has been achieved,

Grant Application Eligibility Criteria
Any local government agency with responsibility for traffic signal
operations may apply for a FETSIM grant provided it meets the
requirements listed below. A local government agency is defined as a
City county, or combination thereof formed for the purpose of
developing an application. Specific grant application eligibility
criteria are the following:
o A traffic signal timing project proposal must be s:b�ittec for
a minimum of eight signalized intersections.
o A proposed traffic signal project must be co -, ,posed of signals
that can function as a coordinated system and the; are capable
of a common cycle length operation. Although the program

Section V
Program Administration
The FETSIM program, is funded and managed through Caltrans' Division of
Transportation Operations and Toll Bridges. Richard Macaluso, FETSIM
Program Manager, will manage the grant agreements for the Department,
Questions regarding this application manual, contractual agreements,
program requirements, and payment of grant funds should be directed to
him at (916) 323 -4203.
Caltrans will be assisted in this effort by two agencies: The
Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) at U. C. Berkeley and the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in Los Angeles.
ITS will be responsible for training statewide and technical assistance
for Northern California grant jurisdictions. SCAG will provide
technical assistance for Southern California grant jurisdictions.
Technical assistance centers have been established by ITS and SCAG, in
Berkeley and Los Angeles, respectively. Center personnel review local
products and provide advice on all technical aspects of the program.
This technical support augments, but does not replace, local staff
resources needed to conduct the projects. Local agencies are strongly
encouraged to complete "in- house" as many of the project tasks as
possible. Nevertheless, private consultants may be hired for some or
most of the project work. Regardless of the distribution of local
jurisdiction /consultant responsibility, local staff must take active
involvement to facilitate ongoing signal management. -
