Since the Improvement Plan was completed, the phasing of the plan has changed from this original five -phase approach. In particular, the ongoing issue of settling of the roadway surface on West Las Positas has made it more urgent to undertake a more permanent fix and completely reconstruct the roadway. This reconstruction project provides the opportunity to combine the pedestrian and bicycle improvement project with the roadway improvement project to accelerate and augment several elements of the bicycle and pedestrian project. The new plan shifts from a bike lane project to a mixed-use path design on both the north and south sides of the roadway between Hopyard Road and the Iron Horse Trail. This mixed-use path design was the preferred design of the Pedestrian Bicycle and Trails Committee but was not originally selected due to the high construction cost. The prohibitive cost of the mixed-use path was primarily related to the need to construct new curb and gutter along the entire corridor. The West Las Positas Boulevard Reconstruction Project (CIP No. 11514) also requires removal of the existing curb and gutter, and construction of new curb and gutter. With this necessary construction element completed through the West Las Positas Boulevard Reconstruction Project (CIP No. 11514), the mixed-use path design for the West Las Positas Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project (CIP No. 17567) becomes a feasible project. The City of Pleasanton's allocation of $867,000 from the Alameda CTC will be added to the existing funding ($2.2 million) already secured for CIP No. 17567, bringing the total funding to slightly over $3 million. Early project cost estimates for the roadway improvement and bicycle improvements are $10-12 million. On October 5, 2021, the City Council approved a professional service agreement with BSK Associates to conduct a geotechnical study related to the roadway improvement project. BSK will perform a geotechnical analysis, develop conclusions, and recommend permanent repairs for West Las Positas Boulevard as part of CIP 11514. A construction cost estimate will be developed upon completion of BSK's work, which will incorporate the recommended bike and pedestrian improvements from the West Las Positas Boulevard Corridor Plan. Budget The original project budget for CIP No. 17657 was $2,200,000. The allocation of Alameda CTC approved funds of $717,000 from Measure B and $150,000 from TFCA for fiscal year 2022/23 brings the total project funding for CIP 17567 to $3,067,000. Page 3 of 4
