[CDD-CP# 06-01]: (District IV) Project No. 0662-6R4137 DATE: March 14, 2006 PAGE: 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no impact to the County General Fund. The estimated project cost is $125,000, funded by Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency(100%). REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: The purpose of this project is to provide residents of the community a crosswalk across Coggins Drive at Wayside Plaza to access the Ironhorse Trail, as requested by Contra Costa Centre Area Municipal Advisory Committee. The project consists of removing existing roadway,concrete curb,gutter,and sidewalk;installing concrete bulbouts, sidewalks, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, concrete path, pedestrian signs, drainage improvements, striping, adjusting existing signs and utilities. Real property transactions may be necessary in support of this project. At least one lane of traffic will be open at all times during construction activities. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant adverse effect on the environment. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and constriction and may jeopardize funding.

Location: The project is located in unincorporated central County area between the cities of Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek, on Coggins Drive (Figs. 1-3). 2. Project Description: The purpose of this project is to provide residents of the community a crosswalk across Coggins Drive at Wayside Plaza to access the Ironhorse Trail, as requested by Contra Costa Centre Area Municipal Advisory Committee. The project consists of removing existing roadway, concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, installing concrete bulbouts, sidewalks, American with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramps, concrete path, pedestrian signs, drainage improvements, striping, adjusting existing signs and utilities. On the east and west side of Coggins Dr. at Wayside Plaza, roadway (approx. 6 ft. wide by 30 feet long) will be excavated to accommodate installed bulbouts on both sides of Coggins Dr.. Bulbouts are circular concrete curb extensions that will allow pedestrians to be seen easily and shorten the distance for pedestrians to cross Coggins Dr. The bulbouts will blend with the edge of pavement. ADA curb ramps will be installed on the bulbouts and crosswalks will be installed to connect the curb ramps (Fig. 3). On the south side of Wayside Plaza, approximately 5 square feet of landscape shrubbery will need to be removed and the existing sidewalk extended, to accommodate an ADA compliant curb ramp (Fig. 3). On the east side of Coggins Dr., a concrete path (approximately 5ft. wide by 40 ft. long)will be constructed, leading from the back of existing sidewalk and behind the new installed bulbout to an existing graveled trail (Fig. 3). The trail eventually connects to the Ironhorse Trail. GAGrpData\EngSvc\ENVIRO\TransEng\Coggins Dr.Crosswalk\CEQA\Cat Ex-3.doc Page 1 of 2 Coggins Drive Crosswalk 0662-6R4137/ CP#06-01 Cat. Ex. 3 Manholes may need to be raised, signs adjusted, and a drainage inlet will be installed south of the bulbout to connect to the existing 24-inch storm drain line. In order to minimize damage to any near by trees, any roots exposed during excavation will be cut cleanly and tree branches will be trimmed. No tree removal will be necessary. Real property transactions may be necessary in support of this project. At least one lane of traffic will be open at all times during construction activities. 3.
