Resolution Revising the Type of Curbing to be Used in Conjunction with Minimum Road Standards in the West Menlo Park Area

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, this Board previously approved two road standards to be used by the Department of Public Works when reconstructing roads in the West Menlo Park area; and

 

WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works has received complaints that the rolled type curb and gutter is difficult to traverse by physically disabled persons; and

 

WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended that the rolled type curb and gutter be replaced with a 3 foot wide valley gutter, or a 2 foot wide valley gutter where the topography or other restrictions make it impractical to construct a 3 foot wide valley gutter; and

 

WHEREAS, this Board has reviewed and considered the recommendation of the Director of Public Works.

 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the rolled type curb and gutter in the West Menlo Park Road Standards is hereby replaced with a 3-foot-wide valley gutter. The Director of Public Works may also reduce the width of the valley gutter to 2 feet if it is determined that a 3 foot wide valley gutter is impractical for a specific street due to existing obstructions or limited right of way.
