6.1.C. - Page 4 Elementary School for the Massachusetts Avenue School Crosswalk In- roadway Warning Light System project. Following delay of the formation of a Redwood City Complete Streets Advisory Committee, the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition formed a workgroup to provide input to City staff on bicycle and pedestrian issues until a suitable commission is able to fulfill this function for the City (source: Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition website). Final Design and Construction All four projects have not been finalized and further design will be completed before bidding and construction for the projects can begin. Prior to construction, notification will be sent to all adjacent residents and businesses. In addition, electronic message boards will be placed in advance of the construction area at least one week prior to work commencement to notify drivers in the area of the upcoming road work. All project work should have only minor impacts to the vehicle traffic on the roadways, since the majority of the work will be conducted on the side of the roadways at the curb and gutters. Alternative pedestrian routes and pathways will be provided as needed. Each of the projects varies in size and scope but all can be completed in less than 30 days of construction. The Brewster Avenue Bicycle Improvements project does include the slurry sealing of the roadway and restriping. For this work traffic control will be in place to help drivers navigate the work area. This portion of the project should only impact drivers a maximum of two days and add only minor delays. Funding status The projects were ranked by the C /CAG Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) at its April 28, 2011 meeting and by staff of the TA and C /CAG. Ranking criteria were outlined during the grant solicitation process and are based primarily on the merit of each project. There were no limitations on how many projects a municipality may submit. Final funding recommendations have not been formally approved by the C /CAG BPAC or the TA Board, however preliminary rankings recommend funding of the Brewster Avenue Bicycle Improvements and the Hudson Street Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements. Partial funding is recommended for the Brewster Avenue Pedestrian Improvements. If the Brewster Avenue Pedestrian Improvements project is partially funded, the balance of the project costs (matching funds) will be supported by the CIP funds from the Traffic Impact Fee Fund and the Gas Tax Construction Fund (no funding will be provided by the General Fund). At this time it is not anticipated that the Massachusetts Avenue School Crosswalk In- Roadway Warning Light System project will be funded. ALTERNATIVES This is an information -only staff report. No Council action is required.
