3) Action Plan: a) Caltrans will provide City Staff with an analysis of ramp metering rates, queue lengths, and diversion to arterials. b) Prior to implementation, City Staff will review Caltrans' proposal for initial metering rates. Turning on of ramp meter signals will depend on physical readiness, including all necessary equipment, appropriate signing and striping, and proper notice to the public. c) City and Caltrans staff will develop performance measures consistent with the afore listed Goals and Assurances to access the effectiveness of the corridor management efforts. d) City and Caltrans staff will define a monitoring plan to periodically measure and calculate performance measures such as volume, speed, travel time, and delay on the freeway, onramps and adjacent streets and critical locations on the arterial network. e) City and Caltrans staff will work together to fine -tune ramp metering and local traffic signal operations adjacent to the freeway to improve traffic flow on the freeway while minimizing traffic delays and congestion on City surface Streets. 0 If after 9 months of fine tuning the ramp metering and local signal systems, or any point thereafter, City Council finds that one or more of the metered ramps is resulting in unacceptable increases in traffic delays or congestion, Caltrans will, at the City's request, operate the specified on ramp metering lights in constant green mode or at the demand rate during the time period necessary to eliminate the negative impact the metering light is having on the adjoining City roadway or intersection. g) Caltrans will not use traffic metering to divert regional traffic onto city roadways.
