BACKGROUND The project consists of removal and replacement of curb and gutter (to improve drainage flow) and removal and replacement of damaged sidewalks that are potential tripping hazards. Access ramps that are damaged, missing, or far out of compliance with current standards are also included in the project in order to meet the current ADA standards. The proposed concrete work is carefully coordinated to occur prior to the upcoming annual street resurfacing program. Additional locations are selected from the Operation Services Department Streets Division's high priority work order list, as well as requests from the Traffic Engineering Division to address various issues they have identified during the year; traffic calming and safety issues. See Attachment 1 for general project locations. DISCUSSION The 2018 Curb and Gutter Removal/Replacement project, CIP No. 17509, consists of removing and replacing approximately 3,200 square feet of sidewalk, 2,700 linear feet of curb and gutter, and 32 pedestrian ramps. In addition, this project includes concrete improvement work at the Pleasanton Senior Center on Sunol Boulevard, and pedestrian crosswalk improvements at the intersection of Main Street and Ray Street. The original curb and gutter budget was based on the work required on the streets identified under the 2018 street resurfacing program. However, due to recent private construction, water line improvements, and PG&E construction, the condition of First Street from Bernal to Vineyard has deteriorated rapidly. First Street has now been added to the 2018 street resurfacing program. The required curb and gutter work on First Street before the street can be resurfaced is significant. In addition, all of the ADA pedestrian ramps on First Street need to be replaced to current standards before the street resurfacing. The work on First Street accounts for a large portion of the budget shortfall being made up with the recommended fund transfers. Main Street is scheduled to be resurfaced this spring after the current water line replacement work is complete. Traffic Engineering has recommended pedestrian improvements be made at Ray and Main streets. The improvements will relocate the crosswalk along the north side of the intersection. After the improvement is completed, motorists traveling westbound on Ray Street turning right onto northbound Main Street will have much better visibility of pedestrians crossing Main Street. The work will include new ADA ramps, traffic and light pole relocations, and associated conduit work. At the Senior Center on Sunol Boulevard, it was recently identified that the ADA parking stall access ramps are outdated and are causing safety concerns. The old asphalt ramps will be removed and the sidewalk will be lowered throughout the ADA parking area to allow for flush access, removing the potential tripping hazard and improving access. The implementation of the Junipero/Independence Traffic Calming project is being completed through various capital improvement projects. This project will install the required ADA pedestrian ramps. The location of one of the ADA ramps requires the removal of a large tree which has been approved for removal and will be removed by Page 2 of 4
