III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (continue)
directly across the street from Hillcrest Elementary School. The project will include addition of
curbs and handicap ramps for all the intersections between 4th and 7th Streets and pavement
markings for crosswalks to access the school at each intersection.
The 7th Street project consists of the construction of approximately 830 linear feet of sidewalk
along the north side of 7th Street, between Vaqueros Avenue and Sonoma Avenue, across from
Saint Patrick School. The proposed sidewalk will provide safe pedestrian access from the
existing sidewalk at Sonoma Avenue to the frontage across from Saint Patrick School.
The Garretson Avenue Sidewalk project consists of the construction of approximately 150 linear
feet of sidewalk across from the Garretson School. The sidewalk will close a gap in existing
sidewalks, creating a continuous pedestrian facility along Garretson Avenue.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the grant applications will eliminate a potential funding source and delay the
construction of the project.
