These improvements will increase the safety of children walking and biking to school, and provide convenient paths of travel for all pedestrians and bicyclists in and around the school area. Furthermore, the traffic calming measures will also address safety and livability concerns, such as excessive vehicular speeds on Alameda de las Pulgas, vehicles on Maddux/Goodwin unable to turn onto Alameda, long length of crosswalks on Alameda, and the failure of drivers to yield to children crossing the street. These concerns were voiced by the school community and residents along Alameda during the two public outreach meetings at Kennedy Middle School in 2015. In addition to the traffic safety improvement, the project also includes green infrastructure improvements to treat the stormwater runoff. In 2016 San Mateo County C/CAG helped the City prepare a project concept for the inclusion of green infrastructure improvements in the project and the City submitted an application for the the Prop 1 Storm Water Grant Program. The City was awarded grant funding for this project and the Middlefield Streetscape project for the installation of bio-retention areas at various locations within the proposed improvements, an additionally for a bio- retention area within Kennedy School site. The bio-retention area within the school site will treat a large amount of water from the school site that was draining toward the street, and also directs storm water from the street on to the school site. Having the bio-retention be located on the school site allows for more treatment of the stormwater at less cost, which helps the City reach its green infrastructure goals. The attached Stormwater Treatment Measures Maintenance Agreement (STMMA) and easement recommended for approval allow the City the ability to direct the storm water on to the site and ensures that the RCSD will cover the ongoing maintenance of that bio-retention area. The STMMA is based on the City’s standard form, with modifications to clarify the City’s sole responsibility to design and construct the stormwater treatment measures, the City and RCSD’s mutual indemnity against claims that arise from the obligations or performance under the STMMA, and the access license for the purposes of constructing the stormwater treatment measures on the site. The STMMA also includes Exhibit D, which provides that that fencing will be installed prior to the commencement of the project to limit contact between the contractor and the students. ANALYSIS The project generally consists of the following improvements: 1. Curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway and curb ramps 6.1.B. - Page 2
