DATE: September 8, 1987
SUBJECT: Closure of Vista del Rio at San Pablo Avenue. San Pablo Avenue Slide Repair,
Site #1, Project No. 0671-6R6733-85, Crockett area.
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE the closure of Vista del Rio at San Pablo Avenue for a period of approximately 4
months.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project, including the cost of the subject road closure, is funded by the Federal
Emergency Repair Program.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The repair project requires the closure of San Pablo Avenue between Crockett and Tormey.
This closure was authorized by the Board on July 8, 1986 and confirmed when the project
plans and specifications were approved and the job advertised for bids on May 5, 1987.
Vista del Rio is a route around the job site. " This is a narrow road through a residential
area, not fit to carry the traffic load of San Pablo Avenue. In order to maintain safe
conditions on and along the road, only local traffic should be allowed on it. Appropriate
signing on local roads and Interstate Highway 80 directs motorists to use I80 instead of
San Pablo Avenue. The physical closing of- one end of' Vista del Rio will assure that no
undue traffic wi l l be imposed on it. Signs on streets entering the area advise the travelling
public of the closure.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Allowing excess traffic on Vista del Rio will create a hardship on the residents ncrease
traffic hazards and the County's liability exposure.
