Peterson, Interim Public Works Director — J SUBJECT: Bike Lane Construction: Santa Rosa Street - Walnut to Murray RECOMMENDATION: By Motion, Support Bike Lane Project on Santa Rosa Street, Walnut to Murray, and Request Caltrans to Participate in the Cost Thereof to a Maximum of $48,400.- DISCUSSION: The City's recently adopted bike lane plan includes as a project the installation of a Class 2 bike lane on Santa Rosa Street between Walnut Street and Murray Street (Project #4) . This portion of roadway is Highway 1, a state highway. The staff has been working with Caltrans to achieve the required improvements. The project will narrow traffic lanes and medians. The existing raised islands must be removed, some traffic signal equipment relocated, and the pavement surfaced with 0. 1 foot of A.C. Then we can stripe the bike lanes. All this work is required by Caltrans as a condition of our remarking the street to allow the bike lanes. Estimated cost of the project is $100, 000. Caltrans has agreed to assist in one-half the cost of the construction, providing their responsibility is limited to $48, 400. The state needs this indication of our understanding as to the extent of their financial participation in the project to allow them to encumber funds from their 1991-92 budget. If we wait until next fiscal year, funding for the project may be uncertain. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for our share of this project are budgeted in the Bike Lane Account. $90, 000 was shown in Bike Plan for this project. The project plans should be coming to the Council for approval in the late summer. State participation reduces City costs in the project by up to $48,400. The recommended action will not limit the City's ability to eventually defer this project, if so required by the State-City fiscal crisis. Rather, it simply confirms the nature and scope of Caltrans participation so that future project planning can continue. CONCURRENCES: Community Development Department and Public Works Department concur with this request. wep3/blkeproj by l
