STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Traffic Volumes on Magnesia Falls Drive
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., City Engineer

CONTENTS: Traffic Count
Recommendation:
Received in File
Discussion:
As you know, the Magnesia Falls Bridge at the San Pascual Channel was recently
completed and the road was opened for through traffic from Portola Avenue to Monterey
Avenue. Staff has performed a preliminary traffic count in the area near the bridge, and
found that the traffic volumes are currently in the range of 3,800 vehicles per day. This is
well within the projections, and staff has received many positive comments about
completion of the bridge.
We will continue to monitor traffic on Magnesia Falls, particularly during peak season,
and will report our findings back to City Council.
