There is currently a free - running right -turn lane at the 1 -680 southbound Bernal <br />Avenue off -ramp onto Bernal Avenue, and that will be converted as part of the <br />City project into a standard right -hand turn lane to improve bike and pedestrian <br />safety and overall circulation. <br />Traffic signals will be modified and there will also be a new sidewalk, crosswalks <br />and a Class II bike path along Bernal Avenue. <br />Mr. Weinstein stated that the schedule for that project is actually coming up pretty soon; <br />construction will start in the next couple of weeks, and staff anticipates that it will be <br />completed by February of next year. <br />Commissioner Ritter stated that he assumes that is about the time the construction is <br />getting ramped up for the new development there. <br />Mr. Weinstein said he believes so. <br />Mr. Weinstein continued that the second project is being sponsored by Caltrans and is <br />focused more on one specific area: <br />• Caltrans will widen the on -ramp to southbound 1 -680 to include one <br />High- Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane and one lane for regular traffic. <br />• Those two lanes will extend all the way to the freeway. <br />• There are two lanes that come together and merge into one. <br />Mr. Weinstein stated that the project is anticipated to start in the fall of this year and end <br />sometime in 2015. He noted that the dates are a little bit up in the air at this point as the <br />project has not gone out to bid yet. <br />8. MATTERS FOR COMMISSION'S REVIEW /ACTION /INFORMATION <br />a.
