Y"OF MOORPARK,CAL1=0%t;-, City Council Meeting of 7-A/-,R O/O ACTION: Q lli MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT a r: TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Yugal K. Lail, City Engineer/Public Works Director Prepared By: Dave Klotzle, Assistant City Engineer DATE: July 9, 2010 (CC Meeting of 07121/10) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of a Functional Classification Change Request to the California Department of Transportation for Arroyo Drive, Championship Drive and a Portion of Spring Road DISCUSSION Functional classification is used in transportation planning, in roadway design and for the allocation of federal roadway improvement funds. It was introduced by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the late 1960s, which developed guidelines for local governments and planning organizations to use in maintaining the functional classification system in their own jurisdictions. The functional classification of roads in California is administered by the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and depicted on California Road System (CRS) maps. Functional classification is the process by which streets and highways are grouped into classes, or systems, according to the character of traffic service that they are intended to provide. There are three highway functional classifications: arterial, collector, and local roads. All streets and highways are grouped into one of these classes, depending on the character of the traffic (i.e., local or long distance) and the degree of land access that they allow. These classifications are described further on the next page: S\Public Works\Everyone\Reports\Staff Reports\2010\July67-21.2010(Functional Classification Change Request)doc 90 Honorable City Council July 21, 2010 Page 2 Functional Level of Service Provided City of Moorpark Classification Example Provides the highest level of service at the greatest Arterial speed for the longest uninterrupted distance, with Tierra Rejada Rd. some degree of access control. Provides a less highly developed level of service at Collector a lower speed for shorter distances by collecting Mountain Trail St. traffic from local roads and connecting them with arterials. Consists of all roads not defined as arterials or Local collectors; primarily provides access to land with Walnut St. little or no through movement. To be eligible for federal aid funding, City roads must have a classification of Collector or Arterial. The City is responsible for reviewing the CRS maps and initiating any requests to change the functional classification of local streets and roads under its jurisdiction. A change to the functional classification and CRS maps may be required due to a new street being constructed or to correct a street's classification that was previously misidentified. The proposed changes to City road classifications and the CRS maps are as follows: Road Proposed Change Arroyo Dr. Change classification from Local to Collector and update street name on CRS map from Los Angeles Ave. to Arroyo Dr. Championship Dr. Change classification from Local to Collector. Spring Rd. Add new section to CRS map from High St. to Walnut Canyon Rd. with Arterial classification. Upon FHWA's approval of these changes, these roads will become eligible for federal funding of future street improvement projects such as asphalt overlays. The process to effect these changes is for the City to submit a functional classification change request form to Caltrans along with a resolution (Attachment A) from City Council authorizing the submittal. A letter of concurrence from the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) is also required to be submitted with the request. Caltrans will then forward the City's request to FHWA for final approval and the CRS maps will be revised to reflect the changes. Caltrans estimates that it takes thirty to sixty days from the time of submittal of all required documents until FHWA approval.

Upon approval of the changes, the City would be eligible for federal funding of street improvement projects on the roads being changed.
