Substandard and limited right-of-way street improvement policy and I standards. (806-04, 301-08) REPORT: City Engineer, August 19, 1993 I City Engineer Luck presented the staff report and thanked Councilmembers ' Greenalch and Claire for their work on the Council Committee on Substandard Streets. The goal of the committee was to develop a working policy for improving substandard streets and determine what the City's contribution towards those improvements should be. Mr. Luck addressed the issues of identifying local and collector streets and described the proposed policies and standards. Mr. Luck advised that only 5% of the City's streets were considered substandard (excluding certain private roads, abandoned streets and those in assessment districts) but would cost $40 million to improve to minimum acceptable levels. The following citizens asked Council to consider improving the streets in the Oakwood Neighborhood concurrently with Canyon Road: Steve Hull, Roble Avenue, Redwood City; and Thomas Schwartz, Roble Avenue, Redwood City. Councilman Greenalch explained why the Committee on Substandard Streets was formed, the history of Canyon Road, the evidence that property owners participation was accepted by all concerned very early on, and the desire to I create an equitable policy in accordance with the history and need of the neighborhood. Councilman Greenalch advised there would be no favoritism, but since the Oakwood Neighborhood was deep in the process of establishing an assessment district over the past few years, the process would be I different. Councilman Greenalch advised that the policy allows leeway for the Council to assign different percentages to create a way to improve substandard streets. Councilmembers discussed flexibility of the proposed policy and standards, the requirement of a 5/1 vote to increase City's contribution, and the need for consistency when creating solutions to substandard street improvements. M/S: GREENALCH/CLAIRE TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED SUBSTANDARD AND LIMITED RIGHT-OF-WAY STREET IMPROVEMENT POLICY AND STANDARDS CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE.
