6.G. - Page 5 of 9 o Roosevelt Avenue/McGarvey Avenue Intersection: based on the community survey, the preferred alternative for this intersection is a roundabout; however in response to concerns about drivers not yielding to pedestrians, rectangular rapid flashing beacons at each approach were added to the roundabout concept. The third survey in February 2020 asked community members for their level of support and their feedback on the refined, preferred alternatives. This survey also asked the community about their preferred implementation strategy and included two options: A) Permanent improvements built segment by segment whenever funding is available, and B) A temporary "quick -build" project along the entire corridor with permanent improvements to follow as funding becomes available. Out of 144 responses to this question, approximately 62 percent of respondents preferred starting with a temporary "quick -build" of the entire corridor to be followed by permanent treatments. Community Engagement Stage 3 (June 2020) To recommend proceeding with the pilot project construction, the City requires that a majority of the project area residents support the installation of the traffic calming measures. To determine if this support was met, a fourth and final survey was published in June 2020. The survey requested feedback from residents on whether they support the overall project for pilot implementation of the preferred alternatives along Roosevelt Avenue. Of 950 surveys that were mailed out, 367 responses were received both online and by mail. Table 2, below, shows the survey result. * Responses from other neighborhoods and duplicate responses from the same address were eliminated. Cost Estimates A preliminary construction cost estimate was developed for both the pilot and permanent installation of the preferred alternative improvements. The pilot project from Alameda de las Pulgas to EI Camino Real was estimated to cost $988,000. Due to the nature of some improvements, their construction would be made with permanent materials. Roughly $200,000 of the pilot budget is for permanent curb ramps, intersection geometry modifications and the installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the McGarvey intersection. This estimate includes both material and installation costs. In contrast, a permanent installation of the project is estimated to cost $2,600,000.
