6.C. - Page 2 of 7 through a community -driven process which included opportunities for community feedback through online surveys, paper surveys, and community meetings. A complete list of the outreach efforts, how they were advertised, and participation numbers are included in Attachment B. On February 20, 2018, the conceptual design was presented to the Complete Streets Advisory Committee (CSAC), who recommended forwarding the Hopkins Avenue Traffic Safety Project to the City Council for their consideration. The Committee supported the design as proposed, with the exception of the permanent medians, which they felt should be installed on a pilot basis first. A pilot project would allow the placement of medians to be tested, to evaluate the median design before it is made permanent, and provide another opportunity for community input. On April 23, 2018, the City Council reviewed the conceptual design and considered a number of alternative design options. The Council directed staff to coordinate further with residents along the corridor to refine the proposed median locations, and to proceed with a pilot of the traffic calming project. On August 21 and 23, 2018, staff met with residents along the corridor and marked out median island locations utilizing resident input. The median island locations proposed within the pilot plans are based on the locations determined at those site meetings. On February 27, 2019, the Mayor, Vice Mayor, and staff from the Engineering Division and Fire Department met with community members to address some remaining concerns regarding the pilot project. As a result of the meeting, several changes such as shortening and extending certain median islands were made. On April 22, 2019, City Council awarded the construction contract for the Hopkins Traffic Calming Pilot Project to Golden Bay Construction of Hayward. The project was awarded for a base bid of $86,207.50 plus two alternate work items at a cost of $70,027.00, for a total contract amount of $161,568.50. The City Manager was authorized to increase the contract amount, if necessary, up to 10% of the amount awarded. ANALYSIS The construction of the pilot project was completed in accordance with City specifications. Two contract change orders totaling -$12,116.72 were issued for quantity adjustments. The final contract amount is $149,451.78, approximately 7.5% less than the initial contract amount. Before and after the pilot project was installed, traffic counts were collected for purposes of evaluation. In addition, a paper survey was distributed to local residents as well as being posted online. The survey, available from December 20, 2019 to January 15, 2020, asked users to rate the effectiveness of various portions of the pilot installation and to provide feedback on the design of elements of the project. Both the technical evaluation and community feedback will be combined to form the full evaluation of the pilot installation. The next steps after the evaluation are: - Hold a community meeting (tentatively scheduled for February 20, 2020) to present the pilot project evaluation and permanent installation concept(s). The meeting will be advertised through Page 2 of 4 City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore 53
