Leveraging Road Infrastructure to Improve Traffic Flow The City’s street resurfacing investment has increased in recent years, providing residents smoother and safer driving on Vista’s main roads. Additionally, the new gas tax is providing the City with an additional $558,000 which will help fund additional road improvements. This supplementary amount will provide funding to improve the condition of the public roads in residential neighborhoods.

The challenge, however, is helping to keep the traffic flowing through the city. “Pass-through” motorists have increased because Vista is strategically located between Highways 78 and 76 and drivers cut through the city to get to other local neighboring cities. The pass-through drivers are commuting along with Vista residents during the peak morning and evening travel times and this is creating significant congestion.

Due to the limited opportunities to reassign whole or partial street lanes for other uses to manage traffic flow, the key question for city staff is: How does the City maximize the effectiveness of the current roadway system within its current budget, and at the same time, create ways to move traffic more efficiently? As the state and federal dollars that once leveraged key projects have eroded over the years, the City has tried to pave the way out of congestions by implementing innovative short-term construction solutions and mapping out longterm strategies that can be put into action when funding becomes available.

These factors are causing the City of Vista to become more innovative than ever before. One example of this is the City’s move to implement low-cost improvements to get as much out of Vista’s current road capacity, such as converting extra street space into a new travel turn lane. An example of this is the addition of the a third southbound “through-lane” on Civic Center Drive and Phillips Street to accommodate vehicles moving into the right-turn lane to westbound Highway 78. The new lane is reducing the frequency of traffic back-ups in that area. Another method is to add lanes to existing streets to reduce congestion and an example of this was along N. Melrose Drive where a third lane in both directions was added by restriping the road to help move

traffic more efficiently. These project examples are two of the simple, relatively inexpensive improvements outlined in the City’s Traffic Congestion Management Plan - which categorizes and prioritizes short or long term solutions to traffic congestion.

The City has plans to widen Civic Center Drive at Postal Way to reduce congestion at the intersection and is currently finalizing designs for the Vista Village and W. Vista Way intersection. During the next two years, the City will also be installing technology to synchronize the traffic signals throughout the city.

As an organization, the City is determined to deliver the best transportation infrastructure to its residents, not just for today, but far into the future. The more the city can leverage the current infrastructure assets it has today, the better able the City will be able to provide the right infrastructure for the upcoming generation of residents.

Add capacity on high traveled corridors, such as adding lanes to existing roads

Make low-cost improvements to get as much as we can out of current road capacity, such as adding through lanes

Slowing Speeds with Traffic Calming Devices Vale Terrace Drive Roundabout | Winter 2017 Heading to the Moonlight Amphitheatre this summer or to Brengle Terrace Park? A new roundabout along Vale Terrace Drive was recently installed to slow motorists and increase pedestrian safety for those walking on the nature trail that extends across Vale Terrace Drive. When feasible, the City of Vista builds roundabouts because of their proven safety record and ability to make it easier for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Guajome and Terrace Drive Roundabout | Spring 2018 A new roundabout at Guajome and Terrace Drive on S. Santa Fe Drive will be built as part of the recently launched construction of the second phase of the Paseo Santa Fe Street Improvements Project.

New Dining Options Coming to Vista Recently opened restaurants have added to the number of dining options in the downtown area. In addition to the 18 current breweries in Vista, four more are in the planning stages.

Restaurants recently opened or coming soon: • Wildwood Grill on Civic Center Drive • Poki Poki in Vista Village • When Pigs Fly on Main Street • Milk Organics on E. Broadway • Mikko Sushi on Main Street • Swami’s Café, summer, 2018 • Dog Haus, summer 2018 • Raising Cane’s, fall 2018 Private brokers are working with other companies in the downtown Vista Village area and more news will be shared on the City website and through social media as soon as the City is notified.

New Park Design for Civic Center Drive City staff has begun gathering input from the community regarding a new park planned for Vista. The one-acre property is located along Civic Center and Pala Vista drives, just north of the Sprinter station and Highway 78. Two community workshops, held in March, provided residents the opportunity to weigh-in on what they would like to see at the park. The goal is to design a park to help meet the community’s recreational needs and also provide a welcoming entry way into the city. The park replaces old, deteriorated buildings demolished by the city last year. The project is along one of the city’s main thoroughfares and is part of the city’s ongoing effort to remove blight, particularly at key entry points into the city, and to add community green space.

This newest park amenity adds to the City’s park inventory. Last year, two public skate parks were opened along N. Santa Fe Avenue. To provide input on the Pala Vista park design, please visit CityofVista.com and click on “Construction & Maps” or search “Pala Vista Park.” Residents may also contact the City Future Park Site Manager’s Office at 760.643.5200.

Wave Waterpark Adds New Water Feature Fourteen-year-old Rippity’s Rainforest at the City owned and operated Wave Waterpark has been “retired” due to years of deterioration and use by many young park users. A new spray pad is currently under construction on the former Rippity’s site. The water feature is a single level spray ground with multiple water features designed to delight children and provide a safe area for them to play. The new feature will use recycled water and will be less expensive for the City to maintain. The new water pad is expected to be completed in time for the Wave’s summer opening on Memorial Day weekend. i

Information on Wave summer passes and hours of operation are available at TheWaveWaterpark.com or see page 15.

Mayor Delivers State of the City Address Mayor Judy Ritter recently delivered Vista’s 2018 State of the City Address as part of the Vista Chamber of Commerce’s annual State of the Community program.

Mayor Ritter’s address highlighted the city’s significant accomplishments of the previous year and outlined upcoming goals in the areas of traffic and street improvements, public safety, economic development and other quality of life issues.

A copy of the address can be viewed online on the City of Vista website at CityofVista.com under City Council.

Downtown Peace Pole Installed Artist Lyn Berry has created an eight-foot tall vinyl pole inscribed with the words “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in seven languages. The pole has been donated by the artist to the City of Vista and was installed on Main Street, across from the Village Café. The City’s Public Arts Commission recommended the installation to the City Council, which approved the donation to the City in February.

City Saves Energy While Adding Downtown Lights Recently the City doubled the number of street lights in downtown Vista to improve the light output along the sidewalks and streets. Older light poles have been replaced and the new and existing street lamps have been replaced with Light Emitting Diode (LED) street lighting.

The new, higher illumination is expected to enhance the downtown experience and make downtown more inviting to visitors.

In addition, by retrofitting downtown’s street lamps, Vista is saving annually in energy costs and reduced spending for replacement lamps each year. Sidewalk repairs to improve pedestrian access have also been completed. “Wayfinding” signs have been installed around downtown to make the city more accessible and inviting, directing the public, especially visitors, to the community’s many downtown amenities and public parking areas, thus reducing congestion and confusion - so that visitors have more time to enjoy what downtown has to offer. i
