The law mandates a minimum 20-foot no parking zone before both marked and <br />unmarked crosswalks to enhance sightlines between drivers and pedestrians, particularly in high foot- <br />traffic areas. <br />Aligning with the City’s goal of pedestrian safety at intersections, the Phase 1 Intersection Daylighting <br />Project focuses on implementing red curb markings near Rewdood City parks and schools, where <br />pedestrian activity is most frequent. This phase 1 implementation will serve as the first step for a broader, <br />citywide effort to bring all intersections into compliance with the daylighting law over time. Future <br />projects supporting daylighting may expand to residential and commercial cooridors, including the <br />downtown area, based on field assessments, community feedbacks, and available funding. <br />The engineering estimate for the phase 1 including painting red curbs, mobilization, demobilization, and <br />traffic control, is approximately $58,000. The project cost will be covered by General Fund (357) under <br />Daylighting Law program 85139, which has a balance of $292,000 as of December 2025. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Staff advertised the project on the City Webiste for 21 days, and received bids from three (3) qualified <br />contractors. The table below summarizes the results. The lowest quote received was $67,960.00 from <br />Sierra Traffic Markings, Inc. <br />Memo
