April 2021 DRAFT: FY2021/22 - FY 2022/23 City Council Work Plan Staff Priority: A - Completed/milestone 1st year, B - Completed/milestone 2nd year C - Completed/milestone as resources available, D - Not recommended Page# 8 of 24 Goals Project Description City Dpmnt.CIP?CIP Estimate Staff Priority Project Status Detailed Project Status Mayor Brown VA JB KN JT Design New Bernal Bridge The first phase of this project will be to analyze design alternatives for the second bridge on the south side of the existing bridge. Subsequent phases will include the design of the preferred alternative, and obtain required regulatory permits, and construction of the bridge. However it is envisioned the second bridge will be to today’s standards with care given to aesthetically complement the existing truss bridge, but not try to replicate it. ENG Yes Design Only C Underway The study to determine the feasibility of adding a second parallel bridge to the existing Bernal Avenue bridge over the Arroyo Da La Laguna is complete. Because of the age of the existing bridge (in service since 1941) and the limited capacity of only one lane in each direction, the study analyzed the possibility of adding a second parallel bridge to handle eastbound traffic, with the current bridge serving westbound traffic. Unfortunately the study found that the only viable option is to replace the existing bridge. While this will be disruptive to traffic and must be carefully planned, it is very likely that based upon Federal and State guidelines, grants can be secured to fund almost the entire cost of designing and replacing the existing bridge. While the grant would pay most of the cost of a new bridge, the downside of grant funding is it will only pay for a modern bridge compared to the aesthetics of the existing bridge. Construct widening of westbound Bernal Avenue at First Street to Allow 2nd Left Turn Lane Construct a second left turn lane on westbound Bernal Avenue at First Street, as noted in the General Plan. This project will improve a.m. and p.m. traffic impacts and minimize cut-through traffic in the Independence and Junipero neighborhoods. CDD/ ENG Yes A Underway A summary of work to date, and a recommendation to proceed to biddable plans and specifications for the alternative widening to the north was presented to and approved by City Council on August 4, 2020. Final design plans are anticipated to be completed by summer 2021 with construction to begin in fall of 2021 through spring of 2022. Scope of project has expanded significantly to also include bicycle and pedestrian facilities on all four streets approaching the intersection, as well as landscaping and monument signs for the PUSD offices and the entrance to the City's downtown. X X X X Explore Long-Term Parking Solution for ACE Station As part of ACE’s future plans to expand the frequency of train service, work with Alameda County and ACE to identify permanent overflow parking areas for ACE riders, including the fairgrounds and former SFPUC site as ways to more effectively manage the parking supply/circulation system around the existing station. Coordinate with ACE to allow downtown visitors or employees to utilize the ACE parking lots during weekends or other time periods when ACE parking demand is low. CDD Yes C Planned The San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission was the lead agency for the ACE forward draft Environmental Impact Report. The DEIR described both near and long term parking improvements for the Pleasanton Station. Due to significant environmental concerns associated with overall system expansion, the SJRRC is no longer pursuing the DEIR. SJRRC will be issuing a new EIR that only evaluates improvements in San Joaquin County. Staff will continue to explore various parking improvements near the station including the temporary use of the recently acquired San Francisco Water Property located next to the Pleasanton Library.
