6.C. - Page 3 of 5 Excluding the multiple votes the percentage breakdown for the survey results in the neighborhoods is as follows: • 76% of survey respondents were in favor of the crosswalk remaining at its current locations and receiving fresh paint. • 6% of the surveys were in favor of relocating the crosswalk to Iris with just paint and signs. • 8% were in favor of relocating the crosswalk to Iris with the addition of bulbouts and beacons. • 4% of the surveys were in support of removing the crosswalk. • 6% of the surveys had other suggestions. The survey results were relatively consistent between the focus area of the project and the wider neighborhoods. Based on the survey results, the proposed project no longer meets the needs and interests of the neighborhood, and staff recommends that all the bids for the Whipple Avenue and Iris Street Enhanced Crossing Project be rejected and that the project not move forward. Staff also recommends maintaining the crosswalk at its current location on Whipple Avenue at its intersection with Woodstock Place. Staff will review the current conditions and fully repaint the crosswalk and all associated pavement markings. Staff also will review the current sign placements and modify or add, as appropriate, signs to improve the visibility of the existing crosswalk to drivers on Whipple Avenue. This work will be incorporated in an upcoming City project and will be completed over the next couple months. FISCAL IMPACT The apparent low bid for the proposed project was $127,525.66. By rejecting all bids for this project the City will not expend those funds. The revised project to maintain the existing crosswalk is estimated to cost less than $10,000. There are sufficient funds in the Gas Tax Construction Fund to complete the revised project.
