BACKGROUND:
|
On December 15, 2009, your Board adopted Resolution No. 070583, which approved a work plan for spending Proposition 1B Transportation Funds allocated in the FY 2007-2008 Supplemental Appropriation. The reconstruction of portions of Princeton Avenue and Broadway is a project in the approved work plan.
|
|
|
|
On December 4, 2007, your Board adopted Resolution No. 069136, which approved a road alignment with two-foot offset to the north of the right-of-way centerline as the center of the minimum improvements to be constructed on Princeton Avenue from Broadway to Columbia Avenue in order to minimize the impact to the eighteen (18) Monterey Cypress trees in the roadway shoulder.
|
|
|
|
On October 11, 1994, your Board adopted Resolution No. 058748, which adopted minimum road standards for road policies and standards for the Mid-Coast area including the Princeton-By-The-Sea area.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
The proposed reconstruction of Princeton Avenue between Vassar Avenue and Broadway and Broadway between Harvard and Princeton Avenues to the adopted road standard was based on the results of property owner surveys. The property owners were in favor of their road being reconstructed to the adopted standard, which is two 11-foot wide travel lanes with 3-foot wide valley gutter on each side . The Granada Sanitary District and Coastside County Water District have requested that specific sewer or water facility work be performed in conjunction with this project. The plans and specifications for the work have been prepared and staff is recommending that your Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.
|
|
|
The allocation of Proposition 1B funds to be used for this project must be spent by June 30, 2012.
|
|
|
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
|
|
|
Approval of this action will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Livable Community by improving our roads for use by the traveling public to support livable connected communities.
