A: The Board of Supervisors will approve the project on or before April 27, 2004. E. The Environmental Document will be completed prior to April 27, 2004. Project location maps, a project limits map, and two photos are attached. Resolution No. 2004/ 73 Resolution No. 20041 73 Attachment B page 3 of 52 Existing Condition: Bethel Island Boulevard was improved via an assessment district in 1965. The improvements included roadway pavement and concrete curbs but no sidewalks. Since then sidewalk has been installed in the business district by the property owners. Sidewalk has not been installed in front of the undeveloped lots. The Bethel Island Business District extends along Bethel Island Boulevard from Cottage Lane to just south of Dutch Slough Road. There is no mail delivery on Bethel Island, so all of the residents and business on Bethel Island have a Post office Box. The residents of Bethel Island have purchased land at southeast comer of the Ranch Lane Bethel Island Boulevard intersection to develop as a park. It is approximately 750 feet from the end of the proposed sidewalk to the park site. Proiect Need: The lack of postal delivery makes the Post office an important feature on the island. People from the business district and people from the residential areas along Stone Road and Taylor Road walk to the Post office to get their mail. As can be seen in the photos they have created a well-defined path behind the curb. During and after rainstorms the path becomes muddy and the pedestrians walk on the road pavement Providing a concrete sidewalk will remove the pedestrians from the road pavement; making it safer for the pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.

See also attached Project Description Resolution No. 2004/ 73 Resolution No. 20041 73 Attachment B page I I of 52 Contra Costa Health Services Community Wellness & Prevention Program Proposed Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education Projects, FY 2004-2005 Proiect Description Contra Costa Health Services Community Wellness&Prevention Program(CW&PP)proposed 04- 05 TDA Article 3 Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Project will continue core bicycle and pedestrian safety educational activities in school and community settings. These include the Contra Costa Helmet Bank, Bike Days Events, Walk to School events, and Traffic Safety Presentations as described in the next section. This year, TDA funds will help implement educational recommendations developed by the West Contra Costa Safe Communities Project—specifically the Street Smarts traffic safety education campaign which will kick off in early 2004. Proiect Activities. Contra Costa Helmet Bank CW&PP will continue to administer the Contra Costa Helmet Bank and provide educational materials about helmet use and the California Helmet Law. Approximately 950 helmets will be provided to children of low-income Contra Costa families to promote bicycle safety. Helmets distributed through the Helmet Bank are individually fitted to each child by trained personnel and supplemented by one-on-one education, a parent pledge, and take-home materials about correct helmet use. During the 2004 - 05 fiscal year, we will again prioritize specific groups for helmet distribution to maintain our effectiveness in reaching low-income groups, as follows: Contra Costa Fire District's Bikes for Tykes program-CW&PP will provide approximately 250 helmets during the holiday season. Bikes for Tykes is a holiday gift program for children of families participating in several of the larger county-wide social service programs. Law Enforcement and Community Groups—CW&PP will provide helmets to Law Enforcement Agencies and Community Groups who conduct bicycle safety education with helmet distribution. These groups will be provided with verbal instructions,written safety tips and the Parent Pledge to help insure that helmets are fitted properly and there is a family commitment to wear them. Contra Costa Bike Days,Safety Education Events CW&PP will provide at least ten groups throughout the County with technical assistance, equipment and materials to help them conduct bicycle safety education events. This includes use of the Safe Moves Trailer and Bike Days guide. These items enable school and community groups to conduct a Bike Days „Rodeo" consisting of series of safety skills training stations that each child Resolution No. 2004/ Resolution No. 20041 73 Attachment B page 12 of 52 must successfully complete. Some stations foster the physical skills necessary for safe cycling while others teach rules of the road and traffic skills. Parents are encouraged to accompany their children through the rodeo course, so they can model and reinforce traffic skills. The Parent Pledge and written safety tips are also provided. Walk to School events Walk To School events will be conducted in selected schools as part of a coordinated package of bicycle and pedestrian safety education (see below). In addition, CCHS will contact all elementary school PTA presidents to alert them to "Walk to School" event promotional materials available on- line through the'state Walk to School headquarters. This international movement was created to encourage more children to walk to school and highlight safety concerns on routes to school, and the materials will assist the schools in conducting their own event. Trak Safety Presentations In two selected Contra Costa communities, CW&PP will provide classroom traffic safety presentations based on a comprehensive traffic safety curriculum developed by CCHS. The curriculum emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle safety,encourages biking and walking,and includes safety practices for using scooters, skateboards, and inline skates. In these schools,at least one bicycle rodeo, and walk to school event will be conducted by CCHS to enhance the classroom presentations. In addition to students, faculty, and parents will be encouraged to participate. In all of these activities,posters and other give-aways developed by the West Contra Costa Street Smarts Campaign will be included to emphasize traffic safety messages. Materials to be used in educational activities Bike Days Guide Top Ten Bike Safety tips "Walk to School" materials Total budget for these projects is $20,000 including personnel costs and helmets.

C. Although this project will accommodate bicycle traffic, its primary purpose is to eliminate the sidewalk gap between May Road and Greenridge Drive and prevent pedestrians from stepping out onto the mad to get from the end of one sidewalk to the other. One project location map,a project limit map,pictures of project location,and letters from community requesting project are attached. Resolution No. 2004/ 73 Resolution No. 2004/ 73 Attachment B Page 16 of 52 Existina Condition: Currently there is no sidewalk on San Pablo Dam Road between May Road and Greenridge Drive. There are existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities east and west of this section of San Pablo Darn Road. Bicyclists currently use the existing facilities to get to the San Pablo Reservoir Recreation Area or the Wildcat Canyon Regional Park. Pedestrians from the I00-unit Greenridge subdivision use the existing sidewalks to get to the;school on May Road or the bus stops on San Pablo Dam Road and May Road. AC Transit line number 74 has stops on San Pablo Dam Road and on May Road and takes pedestrians to the Hilltop Mall, Contra Costa Community College and the Orrnda and Richmond BART stations. Because of the sidewalk gap between May Road and Greenridge Drive pedestrians must use the roadway being utilized by bicyclists and vehicles. Vehicles turning right onto',Greenridge Drive must share the right shoulder with those pedestrians and bicyclists. Project Benefits:_ Constructing the sidewalk will move the pedestrians off the roadway and out of the path of bicyclists. Extending the bicycle lane stripe will better delineate the vehicle eastbound travel lane and provide the bicyclists with a more exclusive and defined bicycle lane. A better defined bike lane will increase bicyclists'confidence that motorists will not stray into their path of travel, With more certainty as to where the bicyclists will be, passing motorists are less likely to suddenly swerve into the adjacent lane. This project will increase the safety of all utilizing this roadway. Increasing the safety of bicyclists and pedestrian along this corridor will encourage more commuters to utilize an aftemative to their automobiles. The clearing for the sidewalk will also improve the sight distance for vehicles coming out of Greenidge Drive and onto San Pablo Dam Road. Project Meed: Community support to improve pedestrian safety along the San Pablo Dam Road corridor has been strong. Letters from the community have been attached to this application as an example of their support for this project. in 2001 the County Public Works Department, in conjunction with the EI Sobrante community and the office of County Supervisor John Gioia, completed the San Pablo Dam Road Alignment Study. Because of public demand, one of the primary objectives of the study was to determine how to increase pedestrian safety along San Pablo Dam Road. In conclusion the Study determined that pedestrian safety along San Pablo Dam Road is the primary concern of residents along the roadway and construction of continuous sidewalk along the roadway is>a priority. At the end of 2002 the County completed a$574,502.00 sidewalk project on San Pablo Dam Road and May Road as part of the° Safe Routes to Schools"program. The scope of the project included sidewalk construction from Clark Road on San Pablo Darn Road to May Road and then north on May Road to Avenida Martinez. Originally„installing sidewalk from Greenridge Drive to May Road was included in the 2002 sidewalk project, but unanticipated right-of-way acquisition issues in this portion of the project jeopardized the implementation of the entire sidewalk project. Construction of the sidewalk from May Road to Greenridge Drive was then reluctantly excluded from the '2002 sidewalk project. Completing the final phase from May Road to Greenridge Drive will provide a safe and direct bicyclelpedestrian route by forming a continuous sidewalk on San Pablo Dam Road.

The appropriate county agencies, the City of Richmond and WCCUSD had officials in attendance. Representatives of the El Sobrante Valley students and residents directly affected by the San Pablo Dam Road corridor also attended. This meeting was enlightening, and we can now address the.following problems with a viable solution. Currently, students walking to Sheldon Elementary School from county;and Richmond city locations adjacent to San Pablo Dam Road are forced to endure hazardous conditions. The most dangerous route is along San Pablo Dam Road between Claris Road and Greenidge Drive, including the intersection of May Road and San Pablo Dam Road. On the south side of this route students must navigate around open drainage ditches, a narrow road' shoulder which disappears when vehicles are legally parked there, and sporadic sidewalk installations which eventually route the students to an area which is actually in a lane of traffic. At this point they wait at the traffic light until given a walk sign. Crossing the street is just as,hazardous. On the north side of San Paulo Dam Road students follow a route evencloserto the traffic, a narrow shoulder with no sidewalk, with many more parked cars that forces the students into traffic. At this point there is a blind corner with less than 10 inches of unprotected walking clearance at which, by design, a motorist's attention is diverted to traffic signals and other vehicles. The two right hand turn lanes on this blind comer enter the only two designated traffic lanes available on the San Pablo Dam Road heading west. This leaves no room for a vehicle to swing wide around a child who has { i Mr. John Greitzer Mr. Joe Yee January 31, 2000 Page Two strayed away from his/her 10 inches of safety nor any room for a child to leap to safety if a vehicle strays into the designated 10 inch walkway. San Pablo Dam Road ceased being a rural road many years ago. At the same time of day that students attempt to make it to school in one piece hundreds of commuters use this road as their main route to and from East and Central Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. Many of these commuters are not aware that Sheldon Elementary is in such close proximity. Near misses happen on a daily basis, and everyday we are merely lucky a student is not struck by a vehicle. At least two pedestrian fatalities and many major and minor vehicular accidents have occurred on this particular stretch of roadway in recent memory. Remember the recent CHP chase that ended in a rollover fatality, helicopters with cameras, the heavy traffic impact? That was in the subject area. Past pleas to the county and city to do something about the traffic hazard did bring results... THEY RAISED THE SPEED LIMIT! Unbelievable but true - from 35 mph to.40 mph. The hazards on this section of San Pablo Dam Road are not caused by reckless driving or drivers not following the posted traffic laws. These hazards are engneeredl They were designed and implemented by one entity or another, leaving the students clearly at risk. The dangers are unique and blatantly deserving of a cure. AB 1475 can fund such a cure if Contra Costa County, VVest Contra Costa County Unified School District and the City of Richmond work together to make this project their first priority and apply for the grant money provided by AB 1475 the Safe Routes to School Bill. We respectfully request that you support our need for a grant application to improve the school route on the San Pablo Dam Road and the necessary connectors. We request your support with the realization that this project should be a number one priority for funding under AB 1475. Because of the marry Richmond developments in the EI Sobrante Valley, Richmond has been instrumental in increasing the traffic flow on the San Pablo Dam Road. Pour of the six housing projects under consideration or construction are on the south side of San Pablo Dam Road in Richmond. These projects will not only increase vehicular traffic but will add to the student populations attending Sheldon Elementary School. And those students will face the route in question here. Estimates are that those four projects will generate 393 students and a daily increase of 5,630 car trips on San Pablo Darn Road. Mr. John Greitzer Mr. Joe Yee January 31, 2000 Page Three Make no mistake; similar strong requests will be made to the West Contra Costa Unified School District and the City of Richmond. They, too, have helped to create this situation. WCCUSD closed Hillview Elementary School which was the only school on the south side of San Pablo Dam Road. This closure forced all students living on that side to travel along and cross San Pablo Darn Road to get to Sheldon. Contra Costa County maintains the road and controls the traffic. The El Sobrante community, also, bears responsibility for allowing this situation to occur. We plan on doing our part to provide our children a safe route to school. We would appreciate the opportunity to voice some suggestions for correcting the hazards we have listed In this letter. We will contact you soon to see if we could arrange to visit the intersection together. Sincerely, Bob Spencer Sheldon SchoolSite Council Robin Y.

As you know, the East Bay Municipal Utility District(EBMUD) is the grater provider in the El Sobrante area. Furthermore, I am the member of the EBMUD Beard of Directors that represents, in essence, the residents of that area and most of western Contra Costa County. The safety of our employees and the public at large is crucial to our organization. During the course of our daily operations EBMUD utilizes San Pablo Dam Rd. in order to transport our employees as well as heavy equipment to designated job;locations in the noted area. Locallesidents aiid particui-arly;the ehi:ldren of Sheldon School are currently required to `circumnavigate a,lit6fg.rri ndfield of pedestrian hazards on the shoulder of San Pablo Dam Rd. Their daily proximity to fast moving traffic without the benefit of adequate sidewalks and other needed improvements makes for an extremely perilous route to school. I have recently become aware of the current effort to secure grant funds in order to install sidewalks along San Pablo Dam Road between Greenridge Dr. and Milton Way. I enthusiastically support this project because of the improved safety it will provide children,residents and motorists on this very crucial artery, a route to school. Mr. Yee, I thank you for your attention and wait word of a successful grant process. Sincerely, Lesa R.

The portion of San Pablo dam Road from Milton Way to Greenridge Drive is also a route to Sheldon Elementary School for vehicles and pedestrians. We are concerned for the safety of children walking to school along San Pablo Dam road because of the lack of adequate sidewalks or pedestrian paths. Presently the children walking to school must use the road shoulder which is within inches of heavy traffic. When walking around parked cars and other obstacles they sometimes walk in a designated traffic lane. Our records show that there have been two fatal accidents, 9 injury accidents,and 1 l non-injury accidents in this particular area within the last 18 months. The existing speed limit on this portion of San Pablo Dam Road is 40 MPH. The installation of sidewalks or pedestrian paths would greatly reduce the risk of injury to walking students. We believe this project will greatly enhance pedestrian safety.

Our geographic boundaries include at least 1740 homes in the Sheldon Elementary School area. It is our understanding that you plan to submit a grant application for funds to install a sidewalk.from Greenridge to May Road along San Pablo Dam Road in El Sobrante. This is an area where there are no sidewalks on either side of San Pablo Dam Roadwhich is a major thoroughfare with heavy traffic moving at a limit of 45+miles per hour. Children and other pedestrians walk within inches of the traffic. The May Valley N.C. is in full support of the installation of the sidewalk along San Pablo Dam Road between Greenridge and May Road. The signalized intersection at May Road/San Pablo Dam Road serves as a major crossing point for students coming from the south side of San Pablo Darn Road. This sidewalk would make it safer for pedestrians. Both Richmond and County residents would benefit from the sidewalk installation. There is no doubt that the installation of this section of sidewalk would provide a safer route to school. We respectfully ask that, when this matter comes under consideration for a grant, the team doing the assessment;consider the danger to the students, other pedestrians, and the speed of the traffic. If you have any questions and/or concerns, you are welcome to call me at 510-223-6398. Thank you.

Resolution No. 2004/ 73 _. _. Resolution No. 2004/ 73 Attachment B page 36 of 52 Exist ne Condition: The Pacifica Avenue AC Path/Curb Kamp project is located in the Bay Point area, northwest of the Port Chicago HighwaylWillow Pass Road intersection. Pacifica Avenue is a two lane residential street connecting Driftwood Drive to the west to Port Chicago Highway(one of the main road arterials in Bay Point) to the east. There are three schools located`on Pacifica Avenue, and a commercial district with regional bus route access near the Port Chicago Highway intersection (see Appendix A). Currently there are no ADA (American with Disabilities) compliant curb ramps on Pacifica Avenue, but there are sidewalks extending along the south side of the road(between Port Chicago.Highway and Mariners Cove Drive)and along the north side of the road(between Port Chicago Highway and Inlet Drive.) There is a Class 11 bike lane facility on both sides of Pacifica Avenue between Port Chicago Highway and Mariners Cover Drive, and a 4-foot to I0-foot shoulder along both sides of the roadway between Mariners Cover Drive and Driftwood Drive. Proieet Benefit: The Pacifica Avenue AC Path/Curb Ramp project has a variety of benefits ranging from bicycle safety enhancement to pedestrian connectivity,to schools. Pacifica Avenue is listedas part of the Ultimate Eastern Contra Costa County Bicycle Facilities by the East Contra Costa County Bikeway Plan, and has received strong support from local school officials. The proposed project will construct 14 ADA compliant curb ramps along Pacifica Avenue between Port Chicago Highway and Rio Vista Elementary School and construct a 5-foot wide AC path from Mariners Cove Drive to the front of Rio Vista School(See Appendix B). The completed project will provide one complete ADA compliant pedestrian facility from Port Chicago Highway to Rio Vista School along the south side of Pacifica Avenue, connecting students in the area to the three schools on Pacifica Avenue and connecting residents to the commercial centers on Port Chicago.Highway. A 600-foot storm drain system will need to be constructed between Mariners Cove Drive and Rio Vista School to facilitate adequate drainage to the AC path in front of Rio Vista School. The new storm drain will also provide drainage for the shoulder area of the roadway between Mariners Cove Drive and Rio Vista School, thus enhancing the safety of the bicyclists riding in the shoulder area. Proiect Need: The project is needed to provide an ADA compliant pedestrian facility along Pacifica to connect students and residents to the three local schools and to the commercial centers on Port Chicago Resolution No. 2004/ Resolution No. 2004,_Z3 � Attachment B page 37 of 52 Highway. A large portion of Pacif ca Avenue already has sidewalks on both sides of the street, but students are still walking to Rio Vista School on dirt and mud in the proposed project area (during raining seasons). Disabled residents currently use wheelchairs in the shoulder area of the roadway with only one to two feet of clearance from the travel lanes. Numerous residents in the area have expressed their support for any projects to improve pedestrian safety and ALTA compliance in the area (see attached letters). Ultimately, the proposed path will provide a safe facility in a high pedestrian volume area. The proposed project scope contains the minimum improvements required to maintain proper traffic, environmental, and drainage standards, and is part of the continuing effort to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety in the area. Past projects included the 2003 Wharf Drive Pedestrian Path project, which constructed sidewalks along Wharf Drive and along part of Pacifica Avenue on the north side (see Appendix E). The 2003 Wharf Drive.Pedestrian Path project was locally funded at a cost of$109,281. Matching Funds: Contra Costa County Public Works staff has already begun the Planning Engineering stage, and has completed the environmental process. A total of$32,000 of Local Funds has been spent to cover the cost of planning engineering and the environmental process. Project Cost: The total project cost is approximately$223,000, with the following breakdown: Item Cost Total Local Funds $144,806 $0 Contract Cost..........................................

Bay Point,California 94565-1359 (510) 458-6€01 I OFFICE OF 7}i -IUNCIPAL September 28, 1997 Michael Walford, Public Warks Director Contra Costa County Public Works 255 Glazier Drive Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Mr. Walford, It has come to our attention that bike lanes are scheduled to be provided in Bay Point on Pacifica Avenue between Driftwood Drive and Part Chicago Highway. We fully support the safety features of bike lanes. However we are extremely concerned that the proposed bike lanes may negatively impact the traffic congestion already existing in front of Rio Vista Elementary School. During morning arrival, and especially at dismissal times, we are concerned for our students' safety. A significant portion of the curb directly in front of the school is painted red to provide space for the county bus to stop. Much of narrow Pacifica Avenue is bordered with a deep drainage ditch which does not allow cars to pall off the road to park. The few spaces along the curb which are not painted red, and are not directly next to the drainage ditch, are filled with staff and parent volunteer cars - overflow from the parking lot too small to accommodate them. Because there are limited places for parents to pull off the road, they tend to stop in the middle of the street and motion their children to run into the street to get into the car - in the midst of moving traffic! At the same time, the bus circle is frequently blocked by czars so the busses cannot get in, further impacting the traffic jam on the street. In spite of on-going parent education in the school newsletter, personal reminders and the occasional presence of a sheriff, the problem continues. Parents are in a hurry and tend to ignore their better judgment and our pleas for safe driving behavior. We are grateful no one has yet been injured in this congestion, but we fear for our students' safety. Rio Vista was built approximately 40 years ago to serve a junior high papulation of students who primarily walked from the nearby neighborhoods. Today we serve an elementary, student papulation in excess of 500 students most of whom, due to boundaries drawn to balance the ethnic make-up of the student population, ride the bus or are driven to school by car. The remainder walk to school and a few students ride bikes. During the month of September we AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITYIAFFIRMATIVE AC71ON EMPLOYER FAX(510)458.8765 ...._.................. _ _ _ ......_... .._..........._........ . ' have noticed the number of bikes locked in the bike racks to vary from two to six on a given day• Various evening events occur throughout the year at Rio Vista. Back-to-School, Family Math, Family Reading, Family Science, Family Technology, Open House, music and drama performances, DARE graduation, etc., are events which bring large numbers of Rio Vista families to school in the evening. No parking on the street due to bike lanes would make these functions inconvenient to attend. A school is almost like a-home to the families whose children attend it - parking is always available in front of one's home. We want our parent community to feel welcome at their neighborhood school. We have pursued increasing the off street parking on our campus. To get adequate off street parking, including a traffic "turn circle", would require an expenditure of$80,000 (this is the bid received in the spring of 1997). The parking lot would be located one block from the school entrance. We do not have $80,000 to spend. But if we did, staff questions whether parents/caregivers would be willing to park and walk that distance to the school. I Cather _solutions have also been explored. These include installing a traffic circle at the east side of the school on Mariner Cove. The cost for this improvement was in the same price range; the distance of the improvement even farther from the school entrance than the proposed parking lot and turn circle. We are very concerned aboutstudent safety - especially during arrival and dismissal times. We do not have adequate curb or off street parking to accommodate the number of cars delivering or picking up students. Bike lanes would further impact the congestion: already existing. Clearly this is a dilemma and our students' safety is at risk. We want to go on record stating these concerns to you and your department before the implementation of the bike lane project. A meeting with. Ms. Teri Rie, civil engineer, has been scheduled at Rio 'Vista for Wednesday, October l at 1:00 p.m. We want to address our concerns and work toward a "win win solution for traffic improvements planned for the Bay Point Community. We cordially invite you to attend this meeting. Sincerely, Bennetta McLaughlin, Principal t y cc: Mr. Paul Allen, Superintendent, Mt.

It.has come to the attention of the Bay Paint MAC that there are presently no curb cuts on the, sidewalks .bordering Pa ifica Avenue. and Marina Road in Bay Point This condition Presents a problem for those' persons using wheelchairs, as well' as`those' walking with small children in strollers. .The Bay Point MAC organization is attempting to find but how this condition can be changed and corrected. The Bay, Point ICAC unanimously agreed to write you urging you to obtain grant mvnles'for "Safe Routes to School" that,would allow. curb ramps an those 2-roads. These roads are used increasingly by the residents that live in the Shore`Acres area in walking their children to the 3 schools in that location. We appreciate your efforts in this regard and we will be able tri give you assistance it you se need it.

A sideway is needed on both the north and south sides of Pacifica Road from Driftwood east to Shoal. 2. A sidewalk is needed on the south side of Pacifica from Mariner's Cove to Inlet. 3. The sidewalks along Pacifica from Driftwood east to fort Chicago need handicap access on both the present sidewalks and any built in the areas mentioned in I and 2. 4. A car turn around behind Shore Acres School on the north side of Pacifica just west of Inlet would alleviate the volume of traffic on Inlet and Marina Road during school hours,thus reducing the number of cars that tm o these roads while children walk to and from school. S. A sidewalk is.needed on the east side of Driftwood from Pacifica north until it joins the existing sidewalk. 6. A sidewalk is needed on the north side of Willow Pass Road from Weldon until Port Chicago then on the east side of Port Chicago from Willow Pass Road until Lynbrook. If you,have any questions in regard to these recommendations,please contact me at 925- 709-6521.
