Home My WebLink AboutMINUTES - 01262010 - C.7RECOMMENDATION(S): ADOPT Resolution No. 2010/68 approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit 2010/2011 Transportation Development Act Grant Applications to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $446,000 for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 for the Pacheco Boulevard Sidewalk, Montalvin Manor Pedestrian and Transit Access Improvements, and Willow Lake Road Sidewalk Gap Closure projects. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal Impact to the general fund. BACKGROUND: Applying for and obtaining grants allows the County to construct more improvements than would be possible without obtaining these grants. The projects listed above were submitted to the Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee (CBAC) for their review and comments. The following is a brief description of the projects: The Pacheco Boulevard Sidewalk project will install sidewalk on the north side of Pacheco Boulevard approximately 1,300 feet west of Las Juntas Elementary School between Goree Court and Windhover Way in the Vine Hill area of unincorporated Contra APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 01/26/2010 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYES 5 NOES ____ ABSENT ____ ABSTAIN ____ RECUSE ____ Contact: Jessi Duffy, 925-313-2263 I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown. ATTESTED: January 26, 2010 David J. Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C. 7 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julia R. Bueren, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:January 26, 2010 Contra Costa County Subject:Transportation Development Act Grant Applications for Various Projects, Countywide. BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) Costa County. This project will close the 480-foot gap in sidewalk and provide an uninterrupted pathway from Las Juntas Elementary School to just west of Goree Court, a distance of approximately 2,000 feet. This project includes construction of 480 feet of 6.5-foot wide sidewalk and curb, construction and modification of wheelchair curb ramps, widening of AC roadway and re-striping of roadway shoulder to accommodate a Class II bike lane. Montalvin Manor Pedestrian and Transit Access Improvements project will close sidewalk gaps, provide Class II bike lanes and bus shelters along the west side of San Pablo Avenue from Shamrock Drive to Kay Road and on Kay Road from San Pablo Avenue to Rachel Road. As the land use surrounding Montalvin Manor changed from industrial uses to residential uses, the City of Richmond realigned surrounding roads, which left Kay Road as a substandard remnant that serves as an access point to the Montalvin Manor Elementary School and as a gateway into the western portion of the Montalvin Manor residential subdivision. The narrow north shoulder (right side when facing the bay) is heavily traveled by pedestrians, and the addition of the five foot sidewalk would promote safety and encourage a walking option for the school commute. Kay Road is located in the City of Richmond; however, this project will be constructed by the County under an encroachment permit from the City. The Willow Lake Road Sidewalk project will close the last remaining sidewalk gap on the south side of Willow Lake Road and provide pedestrians with standard facilities at every approach to Discovery Bay Elementary School. This project will construct a total of 550 feet of 5-foot wide sidewalk. Utility boxes and a utility vault will be adjusted to the new sidewalk grade to eliminate tripping hazards. The project will also remove roots and shrubbery and place a tree-root barrier prior to construction of the sidewalk. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to approve the submittal of these applications will eliminate a potential funding source.
