Encinitas City Council Meeting
Relevant active transportation items:
| 8D. | Approval of plans and authorization to advertise the FY 2024-25 Safe Routes to School Project to provide safe pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of Park Dale Lane Elementary, Capri Elementary, Cardiff Elementary, Paul Ecke Central Elementary, and Diegueno Middle School. Contact Person: Engineer II Barr Environmental Considerations: The proposed project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (c) of the CEQA Guidelines. This section exempts projects characterized as minor alterations to public facilities, involving negligible or no expansion of the existing use. New crosswalks on existing public streets meet the criteria for this exemption.
Recommended Action: 1) Approve the plans for the FY 2024-25 Safe Routes to School project; 2) Authorize the advertisement for construction bids of the FY 2024-25 Safe Routes to School project; 3) Adopt Resolution No. 2025-36 titled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Encinitas, California Approving the Design and Plans for the Construction of the FY2024-25 Safe Routes to School Project, pursuant to Government Code Section 830.6.”

| 10A. | City Council to provide feedback and policy direction on the Circulation Element update (renamed and referred to herein as the Mobility Element) and the implementing Mobility Analysis Guidelines. Contact Person: Senior Mobility Planner Jedynak Environmental Considerations: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), a focused Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was prepared to analyze the potential environmental effects of the project. The following subject areas were analyzed: air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, noise and vibration, land use and planning, public services and facilities, and transportation and circulation. For each subject area analyzed, it was determined that the project would not result in a significant environmental impact, which is summarized in the CEQA Findings of Fact. In accordance with CEQA, the draft EIR was published for a 45-day public review and comment period from September 6, 2024, to October 21, 2024 with the State Clearinghouse (State Clearinghouse No. 2022080705), and San Diego County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, and no public comments were received during this period. Because the draft EIR concludes that the project would not result in significant environmental impacts from implementation of the project, no mitigation measures are required.
Recommended Action: Receive the report and provide feedback and policy direction on the draft Mobility Element and Mobility Analysis Guidelines. |
| 12A. | Council Initiated Item from Jim O’Hara for Engineering Department to reconfigure the Restriping of Birmingham from the proposed “restriping” during its upcoming Pavement Rehabilitation Project to is current striping.
