| 20251027 | LA County | Pasadena | City Council | Item | 14. ADOPTION OF THE FOCUSED LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A CITY GOAL OF ZERO TRAFFIC FATALITIES AND A REDUCTION IN SERIOUS INJURIES RESULTING FROM TRAFFIC COLLISIONS BY THE YEAR 2035 (Transportation Dept.) Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: (1) Find that the proposed action in the agenda report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment; (2) Adopt the Final Draft Pasadena Local Roadway Safety Action Plan (LRSAP) as a final document that prioritizes transportation safety projects and identifies a subset of City roadways as Safety Corridors; and (3) Adopt a resolution establishing a City goal for zero traffic fatalities and a reduction in serious injuries resulting from traffic collisions by 2035. Recommendation of the Transportation Advisory Commission: Department of Transportation (DOT) staff presented the Final Draft Local Roadway Safety Action Plan (LRSAP) to the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) on September 25, 2025. Following a discussion of the plan, TAC unanimously supported the LRSAP, supported the establishment of a goal to eliminate traffic fatalities and reduce serious injuries within the City by 2035 and recommended adoption of the LRSAP by City Council. Recommendation of the Municipal Services Committee: City staff presented the Final Draft LRSAP to the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) on October 14, 2025. Committee members expressed concerns about the LRSAP setting project prioritization framework Citywide. While the LRSAP priority projects are prioritized based on the selection criteria established for SS4A and other similar state and regional program priorities, the LRSAP priority list does not encompass all safety-related projects that are citywide priorities for which other funding sources could be pursued. As a result, the committee recommended the report title be changed from LRSAP to Focused LRSAP to reflect the purpose of the grant-specific requirements and not replace other City transportation safety priorities, such as the Capital Improvement Program. Additionally, committee members recommended an extension of the project limits of previously adopted projects on Washington Boulevard to include the full extent of the corridor. A motion supporting the staff recommendation with the modifications identified above was approved by the committee. These recommended changes are reflected in the Focused LRSAP. | October 27, 2025 LA County Pasadena City Council Item #14 |
