SUMMERLAND CIRCULATION & PARKING IMPROVEMENTS Public Works has received approval of additional funding from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA) and have funding programmed additional State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 with the remaining funding coming from the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The projects scope of work remains unchanged. The Phase 1 project began at terminus of the newly constructed Caltrans bike path and continued easterly to Evans Ave. The next phase (Phase 2A) continued from the Evans Ave. intersection easterly to Valencia. Construction of the Phase 1 & 2A projects is completed. Phase 2B is programmed to receive construction funding (STIP) in Fiscal Year 2010/2011 to complete the project. However, Public Works (PW) has received ARRA funding to construct a portion of the 2B Phase in 2009. PW is scheduled to advertise this 2009 project Phase in September and completed by years end. The remaining portion of the Phase 2B project will complete the improvements in FY 2010/11 when the STIP funding becomes available.
Due to right of way constrictions along the US 101 highway side of the project (eastbound lane) PW is unable to provide parallel parking and the pedestrian scaled light fixtures to light the intersections between Valencia Road and Greenwell Avenue adequately because the existing edge of pavement coincides with the County’s Road Right of Way line. To provide enough intersection lighting PW would need to light all four corners of the intersection. Unfortunately, this right of way issue will only provide the area needed on west bound lane. Therefore the street lighting aspect of this project has yet to be determined and may remain unchanged. Parallel parking will be formalized on the westbound lane but will be prohibited on the eastbound lane between Valencia Road and Greenwell Ave. The previous conceptual designs were illustrated on the following links for your information during the previous projects, and the current project’s conceptual plans have been updated per the current plans.
