Now that the Jefferson Avenue Underpass <br />has been completed, the temporary reflectors and striping are proposed to be removed, <br />and improvements made with new curbs, installation of irrigation and landscaping, and <br />other aesthetic features. <br /> <br />The intersection of Broadway/Hopkins was temporarily modified into a "traffic circle" to <br />facilitate and improve motorists' safety while traveling through this area. It is also <br />proposed to improve the appearance of this temporary island by constructing <br />permanent curbs, installing irrigation and landscaping, and other aesthetic <br />improvements. <br /> <br />John Cahalan Landscape Architects are qualified to perform design services, and they <br />have submitted a proposal in an amount not to exceed $31,115.00 for furnishing <br />professional design services for the modification of the existing median islands at the <br />intersections of Main/Maple, Maple/Middlefield, and Broadway/Hopkins. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />Funds in the amount of $31,115.00 for the design services are available in the FY <br />00/01 Capital Improvement Program budget under the Capital Projects Fund for the <br />Main/Maple Traffic Improvements and Broadway/Hopkins Median Islands. <br /> <br />/) ,--" <br />- / /!/.-dt# /' "v ~ <br />Brian Lee <br />Senior Civil Engineer I <br /> <br />BL:ss <br />S/library/reports/brian/J.
