Item 5 - CP17-002
M E M O R A N D U M
March 17, 2017
To: Planning & Zoning Commission
From: Kenneth M. Baker, Sr. Director of Planning and Development Services
Subject: Discuss Amendment No. 1075B, an amendment to the Southlake 2030 Mobility
Master Plan to incorporate recommendations of the Bicycle Safety Committee
as well as intersection capacity improvement recommendations.
Action
Requested: Recommend approval of Amendment No. 1075B – An amendment to the
Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan to include the recommendations outlined
in the staff report addressing bicycle mobility and intersection capacity
improvements.
Background
Information: Bicycle Safety Committee
The Bicycle Safety Committee was formed as a result of a discussion held
during the joint City Council, SPDC, and Parks & Recreation Board meeting on
August 4, 2016 as a way to improve bicycle safety in the City and address one
of the 2015 Citizen Satisfaction Survey Gap Issues, “Provide Bicycle Facilities.”
This committee consisted of the Community Engagement Committee and Parks
& Recreation board member Mitch Hill. In addition, City Council member Chad
Patton and Parks & Recreation Board member Lori Palmer participated in the
Committee discussions.
On September 26, 2016, the Community Engagement Committee met in an
official capacity as the City’s newly formed Bicycle Safety Committee. During
this session, City staff presented adopted active transportation
recommendations related to bicycling from the Southlake 2030 Mobility Master
Plan to the Committee. Staff highlighted several possible action items that were
each framed in the context of these existing recommendations. Potential action
items for these recommendations were grouped into one of three categories
established by the Mobility Master Plan: Education and Promotion, Safe
Behavior and Enforcement, and Planning and Infrastructure. Staff also
presented a recently drafted version of a Bicycle Safety Flier for the Committee
to review and offer feedback. The Committee provided comments regarding
each of these items.
Staff was directed to review the Committee’s comments, and determine the
extent to which bicycle safety initiatives could be implemented in the context of
existing adopted 2030 recommendations. Upon further analysis, staff separated
findings into two separate charts.
The first chart illustrated that certain bicycle initiatives could be pursued under
existing adopted recommendations through department work plans. A strategic
framework had already been established for these items.
However, not all of the initiatives discussed and proposed by the Bicycle Safety
Committee could be addressed in the framework of the existing Southlake 2030
Ord. No. 1075B Page 2
Mobility Master Plan. Staff identified possible future initiatives, but the inclusion
of these items on a departmental work plan would require a City Council
approved amendment to the Mobility Master Plan. Staff identified potential
recommendations based on the feedback from the Committee, and established
a potential “go forward plan” for these initiatives. This list of possible
recommendations is included below as Exhibit “A.”
City staff has also included proposed amendments to the Bicycle Facility
Master Plan (map / recommendations). The purpose of the revisions to the map
is to encourage riders to use specific bicycle routes in the City by adding bicycle
facilities, or increasing the priority tier of those facilities. Another goal of the
revised map is to assist bicyclists in accessing the Cotton Belt Trail from
Southlake. The adopted map is listed below as Exhibit “B” and the proposed
map is shown as Exhibit “C.” The proposed revisions to the Bicycle Facility
Master Plan Map would lead to changes in the Summary of Bicycle Facility
Master Plan Recommendations. These changes are highlighted below in
Exhibit “D.”
Intersection Capacity Improvements
In an effort to address the number one gap issue from the 2015 Citizen
Satisfaction Survey, “Manage Traffic Congestion,” the City contracted with
Kimley-Horn to perform a traffic analysis for various key intersections
throughout the City. Exhibit “E” within this report illustrates the intersections
studied.
The study entailed the engineering firm performing site inspections at key
intersections during the AM and PM peak traffic periods to observe traffic
conditions such as sight distance constraints, intersection operations and
geometry, excessive queuing, and crosswalk locations. Following the site
inspections, the engineering firm conducted a traffic analysis on the
intersections which included traffic computer modeling and traffic signal warrant
analysis.
Based on the work described above, the engineering firm made traffic
improvement recommendations for each of the intersections studied. Examples
of the recommendations include adding additional turn lanes, signal retiming,
improved crosswalks, better signage and adding roundabouts.
Included in proposed Amendment No. 1075B is a list of intersection capacity
improvement recommendations based on the aforementioned study. If
approved, these recommendations would replace the existing priority
intersections list and map previously approved with the passage of Ordinance
No. 1075 (pages 83 – 85, Southlake 2030 Mobility Master Plan). The proposed
recommendations are included below as Exhibit “F.”
Reprioritization of Existing Recommendation
Additionally, staff is presenting a proposed reprioritizing of existing
recommendation MT3 from a Tier 2 to a Tier 3 item. This reprioritization is
illustrated below as Exhibit “G.”
Staff
Recommendation: After conducting additional research, staff is not recommending placement of
shared lane markings (“sharrows”) along Kimball Ave. or future Kirkwood Blvd.
Ord. No. 1075B Page 3
The Federal Highway Administration provides the following guidance within
Section 9C.07 Shared Lane Marking of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD):
The Shared Lane Marking should not be placed on roadways that have a speed
limit above 35 mph.
Similar design guidance is included in the National Association of
Transportation Officials (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide.
Although not yet fully constructed, staff believes that upon completion,
Kirkwood Blvd. will have a posted speed limit exceeding 35 MPH. N. Kimball
Ave. (north of SH 114) has a posted speed limit of 40 MPH. The posted
speed limit along Dove Rd. is 30 MPH; therefore, the recommended sharrow
along this route is not inconsistent with MUTCD or NACTO guidelines.

Continental Blvd and S Peytonville Ave Roundabout
This project involves the design and construction of a roundabout at the Continental Boulevard
and S Peytonville Avenue intersection. The funding request includes drainage improvements.
Funding does not include burying of the utilities. The funding request also includes landscaping,
irrigation, electrical work, and art for the roundabout.
