The first project, already constructed by the developer of the Elco Yards project, the <br />was a community benefit to minimize negative effects due to increased traffic on Redwood Avenue that <br />may result from the development of Elco Yards. That project scope consisted generally of intersection and <br />crossing improvements between Hudson Street and the Woodside Road (State Route-84) onramp. A <br />second related project is a future City-led project that will grind and overlay the pavement of this segment <br />of Redwood Avenue after this project is complete. <br />Curbs between El Camino Real and Hudson Street were significantly lower than the City’s standard 6” <br />curbs for many portions of this section, which made it easier for vehicles to park partially on the sidewalk. <br />This project replaced the sidewalk curb and gutter on both sides of the street with standard 6” curbs and <br />reconstructed sidewalk slopes to be compliant with current accessibility requirements, consistent with <br />6.B. - Page 1 of 4 <br />75
