<br /> The CIP budget for Fiscal Year 2005/06 includes enough funding for any of the four options <br /> listed above. The overall cost of the project would simply limit the amount of funding <br /> available to overlay other City roadways this year. <br /> CONCLUSION <br /> Most of the elements of the Vineyard Avenue neighborhood traffic-calming plan have been <br /> successfully implemented. The speed sensitive traffic signal at Montevino Drive and the <br /> future installation of rubberized asphalt and a wide landscaped median will help to slow <br /> traffic, reduce traffic noise, and improve vehicular and pedestrian safety along the corridor. <br /> The installation of a traffic signal at the multi-purpose trail crossing will facilitate the trail's <br /> use by cyclists and pedestrians of all ages, while also helping the residents using Petronave <br /> Lane where sight distance is limited. The installation of roundabouts adjacent to the Neal <br /> School site has resulted in driver frustration, as the roundabouts are currently surrounded by <br /> vacant land. But, with the construction of the school and surrounding homes, the roundabouts <br /> will minimize traffic delays and backups during the peak morning commute and school period, <br /> while also calming traffic adjacent to the school along an otherwise 50 MPH roadway. The <br /> issue of the roundabouts needs to be revisited if for any reason the school is not built at this <br /> location. <br /> FISCAL IMPACTS <br /> The funds for the rubberized asphalt overlay options have been included in the existing CIP <br /> budget. Building the traffic signal at the trail crossing will cost up to $150,000 with much of <br /> that cost born by Specific Plan landowners and developers. Replacing the roundabouts with <br /> paved road and stop signs will cost $180,000. The cost of replacing the roundabouts with a <br /> paved road and signals will cost between $400,000 and $500,000. Both of these last two <br /> options will have added costs if the school is built. Funding has not been allocated for this <br /> project. If City Council decides to proceed with removing the roundabouts, staff will return <br /> with a future report providing funding options. <br /> Respectfully Submitted, <br /> 7Zc0.f-.. ~~. <br /> Rob Wilson Susan Rossi Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Public Works Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: Staff Report July 17, 2001 <br /> Staff Report February 4, 2003 <br /> SR:05:276 <br /> Page 9 of9 <br />
