Council approval, and staff will work with local residents to refine the median design to optimize traffic flow, vehicle and pedestrian safety, and aesthetics along the corridor. Vineyard Avenue resurfacing options: I) Wait until the General Plan Update is completed to determine if a 2 or 4-1ane roadway is preferred. 2) Proceed with resurfacing the full roadway width with rubberized asphalt, but stripe roadway as 2-lanes with no raised median. There will be throw-away costs for removing the new rubberized asphalt in the median areas when the landscaped medians are constructed. 3) Preserve the right of way for four lanes, but resurface the street with rubberized asphalt with one lane in each direction and construct a wide landscaped median. This allows the savings from reducing the paved area to be spend on constructing the landscaped medians, eliminating throw-away costs. There will be some additional costs to mitigate drainage issues with the wider medians. 4) Resurface one lane in each direction and wait until the General Plan update is completed to decide on the size of the median, and number of lanes. Additional costs are expected, due to having to grind the existing surface so that the new pavement does not block drainage from the inside of the road. 5) Proceed with resurfacing the full roadway width with rubberized asphalt, stripe the roadway with two lanes in each direction and construct a standard landscaped median. The CIP budget for Fiscal Year 2005/06 includes enough funds for any of the four options requiring funding listed above. The overall cost of the project would simply limit the amount of funding available to overlay other City roadways this year. FISCAL IMPACTS The funds for the rubberized asphalt overlay options have been included in the existing CIP budget.
