THE CITY OF 7 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTON® <br /> April 17, 2012 <br /> Community Development <br /> Traffic Engineering Division <br /> TITLE: APPROVE AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR <br /> MAINTENANCE OF STATE HIGHWAYS IN THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The City operates and maintains most Caltrans owned traffic signals at freeway <br /> interchanges on 1-580 and 1-680 via an existing maintenance agreement. The two traffic <br /> signals constructed at the I-680/Bernal interchange are the only two not included in this <br /> agreement. <br /> Caltrans staff has recently agreed to include these traffic signals in the existing <br /> maintenance agreement. By assuming operation and maintenance responsibilities, City <br /> staff will be able to implement and control traffic signal timing along the Bernal corridor <br /> to improve intersection and corridor operations. City staff will also be able to implement <br /> "special event" corridor signal timing designed to improve traffic operations during <br /> Alameda County Fairgrounds special events (i.e., Alameda County Fair, Goodguys <br /> events, etc.) and respond quickly during emergencies that may impact corridor <br /> operations and safety. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council approve amendment number 3 to the <br /> agreement for the maintenance of state highways in the City of Pleasanton. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> Initial capital expenditures to update existing field equipment will cost approximately <br /> $2,000 and will be funded through annual traffic signal replacement funds. Operations <br /> and maintenance costs will be shared with Caltrans, resulting in a net recurring monthly <br /> cost increase of less than $200. <br />
