Geneva Avenue Transit Preferential Street (TPS) Project Workscope

SFMTA requests $150,000 to fund the Geneva Transit Preferential Street study. The Geneva Corridor is one of 12 emerging transit corridors identified by Muni in its 2000 “A Vision for Rapid Transit in San Francisco”. This Plan envisions an enhanced and expanded transit system where transit vehicles would be largely separated from general traffic, and trips would be made quickly through the corridor. The Geneva Corridor (in combination with the recently upgraded Ocean Avenue Corridor) serves as the primary east-west cross-town link on the southern end of San Francisco. Geneva Avenue links the Southeast corner of the City with the BART and Mission Street Corridors and the Muni Metro K, L and M Lines at West Portal.

Geneva Avenue passes through relatively low density residential neighborhoods and a number of small commercial districts, but this corridor is anticipated to see some changes, especially at the eastern and western ends. The Baylands in Brisbane will be developed; Visitation Valley residents have initiated a planning process to address future development at Candlestick Point and Executive Park, and the City Planning Department’s Better Neighborhoods Plan has been examining new residential development in the vicinity of the Balboa Park BART Station and the Phelan Loop.

The following is a brief summary of the key elements that relate to the proposed study.

A. Project Overview:

1. The Geneva Transit Preferential Street (TPS) project is led by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (MTA). This TPS project is being undertaken to study the potential performance and service benefits associated with making near to mid-term TPS improvements along the Geneva Avenue Corridor.

2. The project will focus on developing a set of “near – to mid-term term” TPS implementation measures that will improve transit performance and MUNI service along the study corridor in a manner that addresses neighborhood transportation related concerns like safety, parking and access to transit. This study will seek to

identify measures designed to improve Muni transit operations and performance on Geneva Avenue between Mission Street and San Jose Avenue.

3. MTA anticipates that these improvements will complement the planned future transit improvements on Geneva Avenue between the Balboa Park BART/MUNI stations and the Caltrain/MUNI Third Street Corridors. The initial TPS improvements include (but are not limited to) an incrementally upgradeable combination of new and upgraded signals, transit priority signal systems, revisions to the number and spacing of transit stops, lane geometry modifications, and peak hour turn restrictions and/or prohibitions.

B. Project Management The project will be managed by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). Kevin Keck, of MUNI Service Planning will be the Project Manager.

C. Project Schedule The project is expected to take 18 months to complete.

D. Project Location 1) Geneva Avenue between Ocean Avenue and Munich Street

2) San Jose Avenue between Ocean Avenue and Mt. Vernon Avenue

E. Public Participation – This project includes public outreach, participation and consensus development. Additional types of public notice/communication will include a project web site (SFMTA hosted) and a project mailing list including:

- community councils - neighborhood groups - business owners and groups - property owners and occupants in the vicinity - other interested parties

F. Land Use and Circulation – This project will identify how the existing land uses and transit stop locations affect circulation patterns in the vicinity of the Balboa Park BART/MUNI Station on Geneva Avenue and other surface transit stops. SFMTA will examine 1) how the proposed land use changes in the Balboa Park Station Area could impact transit service demands and circulation patterns in the study area and 2) identify how future development plans along the Geneva Avenue corridor may generate additional longer-term capacity needs that may spur additional transit improvements beyond the medium-term horizon of this TPS effort.

G. Alternatives Analysis – SFMTA propose, analyze, and evaluate three TPS alternatives. The three alternatives will be tiered to permit an evaluation of a logical progression of alternatives with incremental degrees of TPS related improvements.

GENEVA AVENUE TPS CORRIDOR STUDY WORK SCOPE

The following work plan and schedule outlines the approach and deliverables for the Geneva Avenue TPS Corridor Study (study). The study consists of three project phases and five work tasks. The consolidated schedule is presented in the schedule section of the Prop K ARF. Each task description includes the deliverables and the approximate due date relative to the allocation of Prop K funds (NTP).

Phase I - Project Initiation • Refine Scope, Schedule, and Budget (Month 0.5)

• Project Management Plan (Month 0.5)

• Public Involvement Plan (Month 0.75)

• Project Website and Newsletter Development (Month 1.5)

• Identify Project Goals and Objectives (Month 2.5)

Project Management Plan - SFMTA will streamline the project schedule, staffing commitments, and budget in the first project month. SFMTA will begin summarizing relevant existing corridor transportation data available from existing reports and studies.

Public Involvement Plan – SFMTA will finalize a Public Involvement Plan to define how approved public information and outreach activities will be implemented. The Public Involvement Plan will be documented in Month 1 and distributed to SFCTA staff and other

Page 19: PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51archive.sfcta.org/sites/default/files/content/Executive/Meetings/board/2008/feb...PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51 H:\Resolutions\2008RES\R08-51 Prop K

City Agencies for comment. The Plan will: 1) educate stakeholders and the community about the study, 2) solicit input about how MUNI transit service in the study area could be improved, and 3) what impacts might be associated with the proposed improvements.

The principal public involvement strategies are the following:

1) Identify and contact a list of stakeholders to help notify the community about the project and the project’s two open houses. SFMTA will create a representative “workgroup” of stakeholders to help SFMTA staff effectively prepare for the open houses during two work sessions.

2) Organize and facilitate a series of two work sessions with stakeholder workgroup members. These work sessions would be held a month prior to each open house.

3) Go door-to-door along the corridor to meet with merchants and community members likely to be impacted by the TPS related changes.

4) Gather public input at these work sessions and open house public forums.

5) Present key findings from the outreach and technical processes to the public at two open houses.

SFMTA will work closely with other local agencies, City Supervisors, transportation-related advocacy groups and Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority to develop a comprehensive contact list. SFMTA will utilize our agency’s public involvement databases and reach out to formal/informal business and civic groups in the study vicinity. SFMTA will collaborate with the City Planning Department to notify local property owners and residents about the project and encourage their participation and feedback. To communicate with these groups, SFMTA will utilize the comprehensive contact list, visually interesting and informative web pages, and printed materials. SFMTA will also collaborate with the local and community based news media to publicize the process.

Project Website and Newsletter Development – SFMTA staff will develop a range of visual materials to convey project issues and concepts. These materials will be designed to be incorporated into a variety of uses including:

• A dedicated website where additional information about the program and meetings can be obtained.

• Newsletters and postcards to notify local residents and interested parties about upcoming open houses,

• And surveys by which community members and transit riders could provide feedback and suggestions to staff.

Identify Project’s Goals and Objectives - SFMTA will start the process to the identify goals and objectives for the project to improve transit performance and service reliability. The development and refinement of the project’s goals and objectives will be reviewed and discussed during the initial public work session.

PHASE II - FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT AND ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS

Task 1 - Public Participation Process • Three Public Work Sessions (Months 3, 5 & 12)

• Two Open Houses (Months 6 & 14)

The public involvement process will identify stakeholders. Shortly after kickoff, an initial work session with San Francisco County Transportation Authority and City staff will streamline the project scope and determine the degree of public involvement appropriate to the approved scope. Because of the multiple planning efforts occurring on Geneva Avenue in the vicinity of the Balboa Park BART/MUNI Station, a consensus as to streamlined scope is imperative so that project study areas are defined and the expected range and magnitude of outcomes are understood.

SFMTA will collaborate or contract with local community based organizations (CBOs) to conduct three planning work sessions. The work sessions would be conducted in an informal roundtable format with short presentations by SFMTA staff to initiate the discussion. Ideally, the workgroup will include a group of approximately twenty stakeholders, representing merchants, government agencies, advocacy groups and others. While each of the three work sessions will have a different agenda that focuses on unique study elements, any member of the public would be welcome to attend each session.

Work Sessions

1. The initial work session (Month 3) would cover the following four items:

a. Introduce the purpose of the study

b. Present preliminary existing data about the operations of the corridor

c. Engage stakeholders and members of the community about the scope of the study plan. Seek assistance from the stakeholders to engage their constituents in the process and to share their opinions and concerns about the project at the two open houses.

d. Refine the project’s goals and objectives by balancing the SFMTA’s mission to improve transit service in the corridor with input from the community.

2. The second work session (Month 6) will precede the initial public open house. This meeting would cover the following four items:

a. Introduce the Geneva Corridor Project with respect to the City’s larger TPS Plan

b. Present the findings of the baseline transit and traffic corridor analysis

c. Solicit stakeholder input to develop the three TPS alternatives to be analyzed

d. Refine the criteria used to evaluate the alternatives

e. Review presentation materials for the initial project open house scheduled to occur four weeks later.

3. The third work session (Month 12) is designed to present the initial findings of the analysis and the preferred alternative. This work session will also help SFMTA prepare for the final open house. This meeting is intended to accomplish the following goals:

a. Present the draft final analysis.

b. Identify the preferred alternative.

c. Prepare for the final project open house scheduled to occur six weeks later.

Open Houses SFMTA staff will collaborate with CBOs to conduct two open houses for the general public. These two events will include brief presentations by SFMTA staff and will provide a forum for members of the community to provide 1) input to SFMTA staff on the goals and objectives of the study, 2) the methodology and criteria used to evaluate the alternatives, 3) the alternatives selected for evaluation, and 4) the ultimate findings and recommendations of the project. Each of the two open house meetings would be preceded by a work session. These work sessions would help SFMTA refine its presentations and to flag key issues prior to the open house.

The initial open house (Month 6) would:

a. Introduce and explain the purpose of the Geneva TPS corridor study.

b. Present the baseline analysis to the public.

c. Solicit public input about the three TPS alternatives to be analyzed.

d. Refine the criteria used to evaluate the alternatives.

2. The final open house (month 14) would cover the following four items:

a. Present the draft final analysis, the methodology, and criteria used to evaluate the alternatives.

b. Identify the preferred alternative, and plan’s recommendations.

c. Seek community endorsement for the preferred Geneva TPS Plan.

Task 2 – Baseline Analysis and Development of Alternatives

Task 2 provides for the collection and analysis of the existing “baseline” circulation conditions in the Study Area.

• Vehicle, Pedestrian, Bicycle Traffic Data Collection (Month 3.0) • Transit Data Collection (Month 3.5) • Corridor Operations (traffic and transit) Analysis (Month 4.0) • Baseline Traffic Conditions Report (Month 4.5)

Obtain Peak Hour Intersection Volumes – SFMTA staff will obtain existing PM peak hour intersection turning count data from recent traffic reports and DPT turning count records. In some instances, SFMTA staff may need to collect additional intersection turning count data. Staff will also review existing (and commission additional counts if necessary) multi-day twenty-four hour hose counts. The analysis will discuss how localized school related traffic patterns compare to the peak PM traffic volumes.

Transit Data Collection– SFMTA staff will review existing MUNI data from routes serving the study area and where necessary conduct travel time studies to better understand the specific local factors that affect existing MUNI performance and service.

• Transit loading by stop and time of day will be reviewed. • SFCTA on-board survey will be reviewed to identify how the Geneva Corridor accommodates

regional transit trip patterns. Muni’s Automatic Passenger Counter (APC) data will be examined to identify the study area’s transit performance trends by direction and route. Staff will use this data to investigate the seasonality and variability of MUNI service and ridership over the course of a year and over the course of a day.

Corridor Operations (Traffic and Transit) Analysis – SFMTA will compile MUNI data performance data and traffic volume data to establish the relationship between roadway congestion and transit performance. The compiled transit data will be used to modify the saturation flow assumptions to better identify how buses operating in mixed flow traffic lanes could adversely contribute to approach delays and degrade the intersection levels of service. In addition to their primary role as a ridership data collection tool, the APC data logs on MUNI buses can (when the amount of passenger related dwell time is excluded) provide additional information about how roadway congestion and travel speeds vary by time of day and season. It is anticipated that the findings from this operations analysis will be used to identify the appropriate mix of TPS measures to be considered for each individual signalized intersection and roadway section.

• The corridor operations analysis will investigate how situational peak hour traffic congestion and traffic signal coordination (or lack of coordination) impacts transit performance.

• Transit operations will be reviewed to determine how factors such as dwell time and headway adherence relate to performance.

impacts will be analyzed, and the potential for vehicular diversions onto residential streets will be discussed.

Traffic Operations Analysis – At a minimum, the LOS traffic analysis for this TPS project will include a portion of Geneva Avenue (between Ocean Avenue and Mission Street) and San Jose Avenue (between Ocean and Geneva Avenues). The analysis will be set up in a manner that will allow inclusion of data from a portion of Geneva Avenue located in San Mateo County. The analysis of existing conditions will include an inventory of the following items:

Roadway Widths Number of Lanes Sidewalk Widths Roadway Grades Traffic Control Devices Freeway On and Off Ramps Signal Timing Bicycle Volumes Parking Turnover On-street Parking Regulations

Street Trees and Streetscape Intersection Levels of Service Vehicle Speed and Delay Collision Hot Spots Bus Stop Locations Bus Stop Shelter Locations Transit Transfer Points US Census Journey-to-Work data US Census Vehicle Availability data SFCTA CMA arterial operations data

The traffic analysis will be used to determine how well the current lane configuration and signal system handles traffic, and how proposed TPS related geometric or signal changes could impact traffic operations. The operational impacts of the TPS alternatives including lane changes (i.e., restricted transit lanes, dedicated turn lanes, turn restrictions) will be evaluated on the roadways’ general mixed traffic flows. As part of the analysis, available right-of-way and the associated opportunities and constraints for traffic flow improvements will be considered. For the traffic analysis, impacts will be discussed in terms of intersection level of service, vehicle delays, and volume over capacity (v/c) ratios. This analysis will also review the impacts that the existing un-signalized four-way stop controlled intersection at Cayuga Avenue has on the corridor’s operations.

SFMTA will also review the DPT Traffic Engineering files for Geneva Avenue. These files include various letters that the City has received from the public about existing conditions and traffic operations on Geneva Avenue. Muni staff will work closely with Traffic Engineering staff to compile the existing problems and identify remedies where possible.

The evaluation of the existing operations on Geneva Avenue will be an important consideration for the SFMTA’s longer term vision for transit improvements along the Geneva Avenue corridor. The traffic operations study will review the needs of all users on this corridor including pedestrians and bicycles. This analysis will address how the existing operations of this corridor reinforce or conflict with Geneva Avenue’s designation as a bike route in the City’s General Plan.

Task 3 –Geneva Transit Corridor Opportunities and Constraints

The foundation of this task will be the creation of a qualitative opportunity and constraint report. This report will accomplish the following:

1. Identify the existing and proposed mid-term land use changes and transit facilities in the Geneva Corridor study area.

2. Depict the anticipated long-term land use and transit improvement changes along the greater Geneva corridor and how these changes could relate to the transit service provided in corridor.

This report will frame the existing and possible future land-use ‘character” of the Geneva Avenue corridor. A major component of this report will be the creation of illustrative base maps that will accommodate detailed transportation related maps and figures. These illustrations will help present a unified vision for the near to mid-term TPS measures considered by this plan and the subsequent long-term transit improvements along the greater Geneva Corridor identified in the Muni Short Range Transit Plan.

Illustrative Existing Conditions Analysis (Month 5.5)

For this task SFMTA staff will compile a map based list of the various existing land uses and circulation patterns along Geneva Avenue. Using the results of the existing conditions analysis performed in Task 2, this task will identify the regional roadway facilities and local “special generators” that currently affect internal transit patterns within the corridor and how these same land uses may impact external patterns to and from the corridor. This illustrative analysis will also document the existing local land uses and their unique seasonal and temporal traffic patterns. This analysis will also identify specific near-term and long- term opportunities and constraints regarding transit and circulation along the corridor.

Illustrative Long-Term Opportunities and Constraints (Month 14.0)

While Task 2 focuses on the existing land use related circulation and transit access patterns in the immediate vicinity of the Balboa Park BART/Muni Stations, this study task will also discuss how the anticipated future major land use changes at the eastern end of the corridor could impact transit operations and needs at the western end of the corridor. This task will identify how projects and plans like the Visitacion Valley Strategic Concept Plan (Schlage Site), the Universal Paragon Baylands parcel in Brisbane, and Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Shipyard may impact Geneva Avenue.

These developments are expected to place additional vehicular traffic and transit demands on the Geneva Corridor. Pending on the environmental assessments and determination of transit related impacts, these large developments may be compelled to contribute to the costs of Geneva Avenue improvements. Such contributions could accelerate the evolution of transit

improvements on Geneva Avenue towards a fully enhanced BRT and beyond. When possible, the proposed size of these projects will be identified and tabulated.

OPTIONAL MICRO-SIMULATIONS TASK: This work scope does not include any micro-simulation tasks. However, if needed, a basic Synchro Sim-traffic micro-simulation model could be developed from the existing Synchro LOS model. Such a simulation would likely focus on one or more key locations and key TPS measures recommended by the study team. If a more thorough, detailed micro-simulation with the ability to model restricted transit lanes is needed, additional resources and funding will be required.

Task 4 - Alternatives Analysis • Key Environmental Factors (Month 6.0)

• Evaluation Criteria (Month 6.5)

• TPS Transit Control Technology Alternatives/Integration (Month 6.5)

• Identification of Alternatives (Month 7.5)

• Draft Alternatives Analysis Report (Month 10)

• Selection of Preferred Alternative (Month 10.5)

• Final Alternatives Analysis Report (Month 13)

• Environmental Summary (Month 14)

• Final Preferred Alternative Report (Month 14)

Building on the integrated land use and roadway improvements identified and the baseline existing operating conditions established in Task 2, Task 4 will define and evaluate three levels of TPS transit alternatives along the Geneva Avenue corridor. Transit specific service objectives, like those defined by Proposition Service Standards, will be presented and refined with input from the public.

SFMTA expects that the transit alternatives will need to provide higher quality service and better performance than existing transit options. Potential improvements to enhance service quality include the following goals and concerns:

• Shorter travel time / higher operating speeds

• Increased transit reliability

• Improved service frequency

• Effectively serve local and regional trips

• Support the common community desires to accommodate travel growth without increasing traffic congestion.

• Address the concerns of adjacent neighborhoods and be sensitive to community and merchant concerns.

Key Environmental and Institutional Factors - As the initial baseline data collection effort winds down and the analysis starts, SFMTA will compile a list of key environmental factors on Geneva Avenue. The key factors (typically associated with vehicular traffic roadway capacity issues or increase transit delay) will need to be addressed in the future. In some instances, the key factors may be pre-existing or they could be attributed to local development projects along the corridor or by the transit and traffic operation measures developed by this project. At this stage SFMTA will also solicit input from Muni operators, inspectors and

Page 28: PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51archive.sfcta.org/sites/default/files/content/Executive/Meetings/board/2008/feb...PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51 H:\Resolutions\2008RES\R08-51 Prop K

union representatives as well as other City Agencies such as the Police, Public Works, and Planning Departments to identify potential additional measures that should be considered during the analysis.

Evaluation Criteria - MUNI has a TPS evaluation criteria based on Proposition E service standards. At the second work session and at the initial open house, SFMTA will present the criteria to measure the proposed TPS alternatives and its affects on the community. Such criteria may involve parking supply, local access issues related to turn restrictions, or transit travel times.

TPS Transit Control Technology Alternatives/Integration – Based on the findings of the Corridor Operations Analysis, SFMTA will identify and define potential transit technology applications for the Geneva Avenue Corridor. These options will describe individual components including but not limited to, specific signal pre-emption device types, actuated pedestrian signals, dedicated lanes, parking restrictions, bus bulbs, new turn lanes, bus stop consolidations, bus stop relocations, and terminal relocations.

Definition of Alternatives - Concurrent to the technical analysis of the existing baseline conditions and supported by feedback obtained during the initial public work session, SFMTA will develop an initial set of measures designed to meet the desired goals and objectives of the project. These measures will be presented during the second public work session where the stakeholders can share their concerns and opinions about the application of these measures and help SFMTA formulate the three alternative “packages” to be analyzed. It is anticipated that the initial alternatives developed in this task would be comprised of three sequential and incremental steps of increased complexity and effort.

Sample set of Tiered TPS Alternatives (actual alternative components may vary)

1.) Low Level Alternative

2.) Moderate Level Alternative

3.) High Level Alternative

Existing Baseline Conditions

Traffic Signal Priority and Peak Hour Turn Restrictions, Bus Stop Spacing

Traffic Signal Priority, Turn Prohibitions and Side Peak Hour Restricted Transit LanesStop Sign Removal & Signal Installation

Potential transit alternatives may range from modest bus-stop and schedule enhancements to a fully enhanced bus rapid transit (BRT) ready to start planning for major infrastructure improvements. These three alternatives are anticipated to focus on signal and lane modification alternatives.

Analysis of Alternatives – Once the alternatives have been defined and public input has been reviewed, SFMTA will analyze each alternative. SFMTA analysis will evaluate each alternative using 1) standard traffic LOS measures, 2) MUNI’s transit performance criteria,

Page 29: PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51archive.sfcta.org/sites/default/files/content/Executive/Meetings/board/2008/feb...PPC020508 RESOLUTION NO. 08-51 H:\Resolutions\2008RES\R08-51 Prop K

and 3) Proposition E transit criteria measures refined with input collected during the second work session and initial open house.

This evaluation task will enlist traffic engineering related support from SFMTA’s Livable Streets Program and DPT Traffic Operations Section. Staff engineers will review roadway design geometrics and signal designs. In some instances, there may be opportunities to concurrently address “arterial traffic calming issues” as they relate to the integration of transit vehicles, motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, and to proactively address potential TPS related traffic diversions onto residential streets.

SFMTA will create an evaluation matrix and will incorporate 1) MUNI’s Proposition E criteria and 2) the criteria developed with public input during the initial Open House. Draft Alternatives Analysis Report - An initial Draft Alternatives Analysis Report will be prepared and distributed prior to the final Work Session and Open House. This report will document the evaluation procedure and explain the scoring methodology. Selection of Preferred Alternative – With the completion of the Draft Alternatives Analysis Report, SFMTA will be able to identify a preferred TPS alternative.

Draft Illustrative Proposed Improvements Plan - The recommendations will be included as an overlay on the Illustrative Proposed Improvements Plan.

The evaluation of alternatives will follow the methodology and criteria previously developed. The results will be presented in one or more summary matrices highlighting the technical characteristics as well as a comparative weighted evaluation. Summaries of the project findings, recommendations, and illustrative materials will be included in the mailing and e-mail announcing the final open house. This material will be distributed to stakeholders, transit patrons in the corridor, and other members of the community who have expressed interest in the project during the previous outreach efforts.

Final Draft Illustrative Proposed Improvements Plan - The final illustrative plan will incorporate recommendations and stakeholder issues from the final Work Session. The exhibition of this illustrative plan will be a major element of the final open house. Final Evaluation of Alternatives Report – The final alternatives analysis report will incorporate recommendations and issues of concern raised during the final Work Session. This report will support the evaluation matrices and scoring methodologies used to identify the preferred option. Final "Preferred Alternative" Report – The “Final Preferred Alternative” report will incorporate any recommendations and stakeholder issues from the final Work Session. This report will support the evaluation matrices and scoring methodologies used to identify the preferred option from the final Open House.

Project Phasing and Action Plan - Implementing the Preferred Alternative (selected in Task 4) requires many steps. Developing cost estimates and a conceptual funding plan will be major components of the Action/Implementation Plan. At this early stage in the project's development, it is not critical to dedicate funds from specific sources. Eventually, SFMTA will examine potential funding sources, the capacity of those sources to be available for this project, and a reasonable commitment to make the necessary public funds available. Because of the potential to collect new transit impact fees from new developers along the greater Geneva Avenue corridor, it will be important for SFMTA to have an approved plan that can incrementally improve transit operations, performance, and reliability. Transit mitigation fees may accelerate the pace of the proposed improvements on Geneva. In addition to the potential generation of private transit mitigation fees, Geneva Avenue may also qualify be the recipient of Federal funds administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). In September 2007, SFMTA requested that MTC consider the Geneva Avenue TPS Corridor a candidate project for the Federal Small Starts program.

After the development of the preliminary funding plan, SFMTA will formulate a project phasing and implementation schedule to include 1) major decision points and data study requirements, and 2) detailed requirements for inclusion of the project in regional transportation plans and programs.

Draft Report of Study Findings

Final Report of Study Findings

The Draft and Final Report of Study Findings will document the study process and contain a summary of the project’s findings. A two month review period of the draft report is anticipated to allow time for review by participants and other interested local agencies.
