[4:27] ll move on to

[4:28] city manager, city manager

[4:29] s

[4:30] reports, the 2nd Amendment to

[4:32] the agreement for design

[4:34] services with wg Zimmerman

[4:36] Engineering Incorporated for

[4:38] the East Burnett Street

[4:39] Historical District pedestrian

[4:41] and bike enhancement project.

[4:42] Can I get the staff report,

[4:43] please? Yes, good evening, uh,

[4:44] Vice Mayor, members of the city

[4:45] council, uh, we

[4:46] re going to

[4:48] invite our public works

[4:50] director Gabino Luna up to the

[4:53] uh the dais to provide the city

[4:54] council with an overview

[4:54] presentation.

[4:55] Of this project and the

[4:57] recommended agreement amendment.

[5:03] Thank you, Carlo.

[5:04] Good evening, uh, honorable

[5:06] Mayor, members of the city

[5:08] council. Tonight staff is

[5:08] requesting approval of

[5:11] Amendment number 2 with wg

[5:13] Zimmerman Engineering for the

[5:14] East Burnett Street Historical

[5:16] District pedestrian and bike

[5:17] enhancement project.

[5:18] The amendment covers design

[5:20] revisions required after a

[5:22] detailed survey and roadway

[5:24] analysis identified cross slope

[5:25] conditions that must be

[5:25] corrected.

[5:27] It also extends the agreement

[5:28] so the engineer record could

[5:29] support, uh, bidding and

[5:32] construction.

[5:32] To begin, I

[5:33] d like to provide

[5:35] some background. The project

[5:37] extends along East Burnett

[5:38] Street from Walnut Avenue to

[5:40] Cherry Avenue where it

[5:41] transitions to Skyline Drive

[5:44] and continues to Dawson Avenue.

[5:45] This corridor located within

[5:47] the Crescent Heights Historic

[5:49] District is an important

[5:49] pedestrian and bicycle

[5:50] connection, and it

[5:51] s in its

[5:52] current state, it lacks

[5:53] continuous sidewalks.

[5:56] Adequate pedestrian lighting.

[5:58] And designated bicycle lanes.

[6:00] West of Cherry Avenue,

[6:01] pedestrians encounter sidewalk

[6:02] gaps and must travel along

[6:04] uneven dirt shoulders

[6:06] containing debris, and utility

[6:07] poles. These conditions can

[6:09] push pedestrians closer to

[6:11] vehicle traffic until the

[6:12] sidewalk resumes near Gaviota

[6:13] Avenue.

[6:15] Limited lighting also reduces

[6:16] nighttime visibility and the

[6:18] absence of bicycle lane

[6:20] markings makes bicycle travel

[6:21] less defined for both

[6:24] bicyclists and motor motorists.

[6:24] The city

[6:25] s general plan

[6:26] identified this corridor as a

[6:27] priority for pedestrian and

[6:28] bicycle improvements.

[6:30] The project will address these

[6:33] conditions by constructing

[6:36] approximately 1560 linear feet

[6:37] of sidewalk between Gaviota and

[6:38] Cherry Avenues.

[6:40] New ada compliant curb ramps

[6:41] and pedestrian lights as well.

[6:43] The project also includes full

[6:44] deaf roadway reconstruction on

[6:45] Burnett Street between Wanted

[6:47] and Cherry Avenues. Pavement

[6:49] resurfacing along Skyline Drive

[6:51] between Cherry and Dawson

[6:54] Avenues and approximately 2830

[6:56] linear feet of class 2 bike

[6:56] lanes.

[6:57] Additional safety improvements

[6:59] include a rectangular rapid

[7:00] flashing beacon at Burnett

[7:01] Street and Gaviota Avenue,

[7:03] painted crosswalks, and traffic

[7:04] calming striping.

[7:06] The goal of these improvements

[7:08] is to provide safer and more

[7:09] accessible connections to

[7:10] neighborhood parks.

[7:13] The hilltop trail system.

[7:15] Signal Hill Elementary School,

[7:17] transit stops.

[7:18] The Civic Center and the

[7:19] Planned Heritage Square

[7:20] development.

[7:23] As for timeline in JUNE 2023,

[7:26] the city secured $2.8 million

[7:26] through the Active

[7:29] Transportation Program or atp.

[7:30] The city subsequently executed

[7:31] a master agreement with

[7:34] Caltrans in MAY of 2024 to

[7:35] receive and administer the

[7:36] project funding.

[7:37] The city began procuring

[7:39] environmental services in

[7:41] AUGUST of 2024, and the city

[7:41] council awarded the

[7:42] environmental agreement that

[7:44] OCTOBER.

[7:45] Environmental clearance was

[7:48] completed in MAY of 2025 under

[7:49] a class one categorical

[7:50] exemption.

[7:52] We then advertise the psne

[7:54] design phase in JULY of 2025,

[7:56] and the city council awarded

[7:58] the design agreement to

[7:59] Zimmerman Engineering in

[8:01] SEPTEMBER of 2025. Since then,

[8:04] staff and the design team have

[8:05] advanced the construction

[8:07] documents, refine the roadway

[8:08] grading and drainage and

[8:09] developed a design that

[8:10] supports the corridor

[8:10] s

[8:11] long-term use and future

[8:15] development.

[8:17] As the design advanced, field

[8:18] survey and roadway analysis

[8:20] confirmed that portions of the

[8:21] existing street have cross

[8:22] slopes that exceed the

[8:24] applicable criteria for

[8:26] accessible pedestrian and

[8:28] bicycle facilities correcting

[8:29] these conditions requires

[8:30] raising the proposed roadway

[8:31] center line.

[8:32] This change affects the road

[8:34] rate profile and cross sections

[8:35] and requires corresponding

[8:37] revisions to grading.

[8:40] Drainage, driveway and street,

[8:41] uh, connections payment and

[8:42] retaining walls.

[8:44] As a result, the additional

[8:45] scope includes 3 primary

[8:47] components.

[8:48] First, Zimmerman Engineering

[8:50] will revise a roadway, grading,

[8:51] drainage, and retaining wall

[8:52] design.

[8:55] Second, the consultant will

[8:56] incorporate temporary

[8:57] construction and permanent

[8:59] drainage easements that the

[9:00] city is coordinating with the

[9:01] affected property owner, and

[9:02] third, the agreement will be

[9:04] extended through JUNE 30, 20207.

[9:06] Allowing Zimmerman to support

[9:08] bidding and construction as the

[9:09] engineer of record maintaining

[9:11] the same design team avoids

[9:12] duplicated work.

[9:13] Supports consistent

[9:15] interpretation of the plans and

[9:16] reduces the risk of delays

[9:19] during construction.

[9:22] The total project budget is 2.8

[9:27] million. This includes $2.78

[9:28] million in active

[9:29] transportation program funding

[9:33] and $109,000 in cip reserves of

[9:35] that amount, $318,000 is

[9:37] allocated to the psne phase,

[9:39] including $306,000 in grant

[9:42] funding and $12,000 from cap

[9:42] reserves.

[9:43] The current agreement with

[9:46] Zimmerman Engineering is 200,

[9:49] about $245,000. Amendment

[9:50] number 2 would add an

[9:53] additional $55,000 increasing

[9:55] the agreement to a revised not

[9:59] to exceed amount of $300,691.

[10:01] The revised agreement remains

[10:03] $17,000 below the approved psne

[10:04] budget.

[10:05] Therefore, no additional

[10:07] appropriation is requested.

[10:09] Funding is available within the

[10:11] existing project budget and any

[10:12] remaining phase funds will

[10:13] remain available to support

[10:14] construction consistent with

[10:16] applicable grant grant

[10:16] requirements.

[10:18] Before bringing this amendment

[10:20] forward, the design team also

[10:22] evaluated the potential

[10:23] construction cost impacts

[10:24] associated with the revised

[10:26] roadway grades.

[10:27] Zimmermann Engineering

[10:28] completed an updated updated

[10:29] engineer

[10:30] s estimate that city

[10:31] staff reviewed that

[10:32] incorporates the grading

[10:33] changes and related revisions

[10:35] to the roadway, the drainage,

[10:36] and the retaining walls.

[10:37] The current estimated

[10:40] construction remains within the

[10:42] $2.376 million available for

[10:43] the construction phase.

[10:45] Based on this estimate, staff

[10:46] confirmed that the proposed

[10:47] design changes can be

[10:48] accommodated within the

[10:52] existing construction budget.

[10:53] Staff has one recommendation

[10:53] tonight.

[10:55] Staff recommends that the city

[10:56] council authorize the city

[10:58] manager to execute amendment

[10:59] number 2 with Zimmerman

[11:00] Engineering.

[11:02] That concludes my presentation.

[11:02] I

[11:03] m available to answer any

[11:05] questions. Thank you.

[11:07] Any questions? I do have some.

[11:09] You mentioned some additional

[11:12] safety features at the

[11:14] intersection of Gaviota, um,

[11:15] can you explain that a little

[11:16] bit more and then.

[11:19] Are there any additional safety

[11:20] features for pedestrians or

[11:24] bike on Cherry, as in lighted

[11:26] walkway or just explain why,

[11:27] why Gaviota and not the other

[11:28] intersections.

[11:30] Throughout the entire area that

[11:30] we

[11:31] re improving, uh, we

[11:32] re

[11:33] adding additional parkway we

[11:33] re

[11:35] making extended sidewalks, um,

[11:35] we

[11:36] re adding, uh, pedestrian

[11:37] lighting as well, so there

[11:37] s

[11:38] about 15 poles that we

[11:39] ll be

[11:40] adding on top of the poles that

[11:42] exist closer to Cherry.

[11:44] As far as traffic calming, um,

[11:46] we are adding the bike to the

[11:48] the class 2 bike lanes that

[11:49] helps with reducing speed.

[11:49] That

[11:49] s a, that

[11:50] s an added

[11:52] benefit of adding class 2 bike

[11:54] lanes, um, at Gaviota we

[11:55] re

[11:56] adding a continental crosswalk,

[11:58] um, we have something similar

[12:00] to that in in school areas, um.

[12:00] It

[12:02] s, it, it almost looks like

[12:05] slotted, slotted, uh, uh, paint

[12:06] markings, um, and we

[12:06] re also

[12:07] adding what

[12:09] s known as rrfb or

[12:10] a rapid rectangular flashing

[12:12] beacon, um, that allows for

[12:14] pedestrians to with the push of

[12:16] a button.

[12:17] Have lights flash so that they

[12:19] can safely cross the street, ok?

[12:20] So why Gaviota and not the

[12:22] other, not the other

[12:23] intersections along that whole

[12:23] pathway.

[12:24] Um, there

[12:26] s a couple of cross,

[12:26] uh, there

[12:27] s a couple of

[12:28] crosswalks throughout that

[12:30] intersection we chose that we,

[12:31] we figured that that section

[12:33] there, that would be good mid

[12:36] mid-block midblock crossing, um,

[12:37] between Walnut and Jerry. I can

[12:37] see it

[12:39] s more populated with

[12:40] businesses and things there too.

[12:42] And then the sidewalk

[12:43] improvement, will it be on both

[12:45] sides of Skyline Drive or just

[12:47] the improvement on the south

[12:48] side or the.

[12:50] The improvements will be on the

[12:50] north side.

[12:53] Yeah, so we have improvements

[12:55] uh for the sidewalk on the

[12:57] north side. Ok north side.

[12:59] The

[13:01] Where the existing sidewalk is

[13:01] now, so it

[13:01] s, it

[13:02] s not gonna be

[13:04] additional sidewalks on both

[13:05] sides going up the hill.

[13:05] There

[13:06] s, there

[13:06] s current

[13:07] sidewalk right now, but there

[13:07] s

[13:08] some sidewalk gaps on the north

[13:09] side that we

[13:10] ll be addressing

[13:12] ok on the south side we are

[13:14] doing some ac berm replacement.

[13:15] We are, there is some guard

[13:16] rail that will also be

[13:18] replacing as well, uh, closer

[13:21] to rows, um, and if memory

[13:21] serves me right, there

[13:22] s a

[13:23] couple, a couple areas that

[13:23] we

[13:24] ll be addressing closer to

[13:26] Cherry as well. Ok, so if I

[13:27] m

[13:29] walking from Home Depot up the

[13:30] hill so.

[13:30] On my left, there

[13:32] ll be now a

[13:33] completed sidewalk all the way

[13:34] to Dawson.

[13:35] Will there be a completed

[13:37] sidewalk at the end of this on

[13:40] both sides of the, of the

[13:42] roadway from, from Cherry to

[13:43] Dawson.

[13:45] As you walk on, no, no, not as

[13:47] you walk up to, to Dawson, yeah,

[13:48] it

[13:49] ll be improvements in any

[13:51] gaps or anything, only on the

[13:52] right only on the ocean side so

[13:54] to speak, ok.

[13:55] Those were my questions, thank

[13:57] you.

[13:58] Any other questions?

[14:00] Um,

[14:02] So how, how are we addressing

[14:04] the safety of the bike lane on

[14:06] this, this hill part, right?

[14:06] It

[14:09] s, so people are going to be

[14:11] now coming down skyline in a

[14:13] dedicated bike lane.

[14:14] To cherry.

[14:16] Where, you know, we

[14:17] ve had

[14:19] previous incidents of people

[14:22] having accidents, so, um, and.

[14:24] So how are we addressing the

[14:26] speed of bikes coming down the

[14:28] hill and then people using the

[14:30] bike lane for alternative

[14:32] vehicles and creating other

[14:33] safety hazards.

[14:34] Yeah.

[14:34] That

[14:34] s a, that

[14:35] s a good

[14:37] question. Um um.

[14:38] Between cherry and walnut,

[14:38] we

[14:40] re doing uh grading changes.

[14:40] So we

[14:41] re doing some fill

[14:43] sections to address the slope

[14:44] there, um, that

[14:45] s the main

[14:48] emphasis area for bike lanes,

[14:48] um, that

[14:49] s gonna allow us to be

[14:51] consistent with the circulation

[14:52] element so that we can connect

[14:54] Walnut, um, going towards

[14:57] Dawson. As for that area going

[14:58] up towards uh on Skyline going

[15:00] up to Dawson, there is some

[15:02] slope challenges that

[15:03] We

[15:06] Anticipate

[15:08] Specifically with curb ramps,

[15:09] um, as well as with, with bike

[15:10] lanes, um, that

[15:11] s something

[15:11] that we

[15:12] re.

[15:12] We

[15:13] re working with the design

[15:14] team on so that we can address

[15:16] as well. Um, but we do

[15:16] understand that

[15:17] s a challenge,

[15:20] uh, the slope, uh, along, along

[15:21] Skyline all the way up to

[15:23] Dawson.

[15:27] So I, I guess.

[15:29] My concern is that by creating

[15:30] the bike lanes, we

[15:32] re kind of

[15:34] creating a, a problem, right,

[15:34] that doesn

[15:35] t exist today. So

[15:39] people really do not ride their

[15:42] bikes down skyline today or

[15:42] Hill Street, right? There

[15:43] s not

[15:44] space for bikes.

[15:46] And so by creating dedicated

[15:49] bike lanes.

[15:49] We

[15:50] re creating an attractive

[15:51] place for people to do things

[15:53] that are unsafe.

[15:54] And how are we going to

[15:59] mitigate that?

[15:59] Um, that

[16:00] s something that we

[16:01] can, uh, we

[16:02] re still working on

[16:03] the design, so that

[16:03] s something

[16:03] that we

[16:04] ll we

[16:04] ll bring back to

[16:06] the team so that we can.

[16:08] We can discuss, but I

[16:10] understand that concern, uh,

[16:11] council member Jones, um, and

[16:11] we

[16:12] ll address it with our

[16:13] design team.

[16:16] Are the bike lanes, uh, were

[16:19] they required on Skyline in

[16:21] order to qualify for the grant.

[16:22] Is that, yeah, it

[16:22] s, it

[16:22] s

[16:24] a requirement. So multimodal

[16:25] travel is.

[16:26] Is a is a requirement of the

[16:27] atp grant.

[16:29] But, um,

[16:31] Given that the, the main

[16:33] emphasis is on cherry, between

[16:34] cherry and walnut. I think

[16:34] there

[16:35] s something that we can,

[16:37] we can work on with our design

[16:38] teams so so that we can you

[16:39] know find a.

[16:41] A good compromiser.

[16:43] And the bike lanes are on both

[16:45] sides of the street.

[16:46] Yeah

[16:47] Uh

[16:48] Does it, will it connect? Is

[16:51] there an existing bike lane on

[16:52] Walnut that this will connect

[16:54] to?

[16:56] Not at the moment, um, it is

[16:58] identified in the circulation

[17:00] element that walnut is, is an

[17:01] area that.

[17:02] I mean, yeah, the walnut

[17:02] s an

[17:04] area that we could add bike

[17:04] lanes too so it

[17:05] s a relatively

[17:06] short.

[17:08] Section of bike lane that

[17:08] doesn

[17:10] t really connect to

[17:11] another existing dedicated bike

[17:12] lane.

[17:14] But, you know, I

[17:15] ve seen bikes

[17:18] going up and down that street

[17:20] and so all this is doing is, is

[17:21] providing a.

[17:22] Safe

[17:23] I mean, it

[17:24] s not perfect

[17:26] skyline. I usually see them

[17:27] coming up temple. They

[17:28] ll go,

[17:28] they

[17:29] ll come down or, or up.

[17:29] I

[17:31] ve ridden up that street.

[17:32] Like once and then I never did

[17:35] it again, I think, um, but,

[17:37] yeah, I mean, it

[17:38] You know, maybe we

[17:38] re gonna

[17:40] keep talking about this at a

[17:41] subsequent meeting to make sure

[17:41] it

[17:42] s safe, but I mean, I think

[17:43] it

[17:43] s, to me it seems

[17:45] appropriate.

[17:46] Because you

[17:47] re giving the

[17:50] bicyclists, a safe place to go

[17:52] up and down, so.

[17:52] That

[17:54] s just my comment. Ok. Any

[17:55] other questions? No. Just

[17:57] remind me again, the additional

[17:58] safety features that are going

[18:00] to go on Cherry as the bike

[18:01] lane and as a pedestrian.

[18:04] Pathways cross, Cherry. Will

[18:06] there be flashing in ground.

[18:07] Um,

[18:10] You know, crosswalks or

[18:11] anything special.

[18:14] Yeah, at, at the continental

[18:16] Crosswalk, normally you would

[18:17] add race ceramic markers that

[18:18] flash, so that

[18:20] s something that,

[18:22] um, um, with our rfp system

[18:23] that we can, we can incorporate

[18:24] or add.

[18:26] I, I see that being more

[18:30] valuable, more on.

[18:31] Cherry Valent Gaviota, but I

[18:31] m

[18:32] not that familiar with the

[18:34] daytime business traffic or

[18:35] residential traffic on the

[18:39] coming off Gaviota.

[18:40] Making a left from Cherry on

[18:42] the skyline.

[18:43] Is hazardous when I

[18:45] m in my suv.

[18:47] People just come up that hill.

[18:47] It

[18:49] s like a blind ridge and.

[18:50] You know, they

[18:51] re not even

[18:52] speeding and they don

[18:52] t realize

[18:54] people are turning there. So to

[18:56] add bikes to the mix that are

[18:58] frequently on a bike lane is

[19:00] gonna be a challenge.

[19:01] Yeah, I, I personally would

[19:03] love to see whatever flashing

[19:05] when they, when a pedestrian

[19:07] pushes a button, right, that

[19:07] there

[19:08] s also active, something

[19:11] active.

[19:14] On the roadway that that, um,

[19:16] vehicles have a greater

[19:17] awareness that this is also a

[19:18] pedestrian crossing and, and

[19:20] just to add, just, uh, vice

[19:21] mayor and council, we would

[19:23] want to point out this kind of

[19:25] feedback to the designer and to

[19:27] the, the traffic engineering

[19:28] team because there MAY be

[19:29] elements of the project that

[19:32] due to acute and specific

[19:33] conditions, it MAY not be

[19:35] appropriate to have a bike lane

[19:35] there. We

[19:36] re not sure.

[19:36] But we

[19:37] d want to point that out

[19:38] because we certainly wouldn

[19:38] t

[19:41] want to create an environment

[19:41] where there

[19:42] s a potential

[19:44] conflict between vehicles and

[19:45] pedestrians or vehicles and

[19:47] cyclists, so the project isn

[19:47] t

[19:49] fully designed yet. It will

[19:50] come back and we

[19:50] ll bring it

[19:51] back to the council. We

[19:52] ll have

[19:54] a full analysis to, to better

[19:55] understand those field

[19:57] conditions and make sure that

[19:57] um we

[19:58] re not, you know,

[19:59] creating unintentionally any

[20:01] issues that would, would raise

[20:03] an issue at that location in a

[20:04] dream.

[20:07] Several years ago I imagined

[20:09] coming from the trail system.

[20:09] That there

[20:12] d be an overpass.

[20:14] A pedestrian overpass, um,

[20:15] right at, well, I forget the

[20:16] name of that street anyway,

[20:19] that would go over Cherry and

[20:21] dropped down into the View Park.

[20:25] Um, but.

[20:25] That

[20:27] s a dream.

[20:29] All right, are there any, uh,

[20:30] comments or questions from the

[20:33] public?

[20:36] Yeah.

[20:38] There is one user on Zoom. Give

[20:45] me one second.

[20:47] Call in user number one, you

[20:51] now have 3 minutes to speak on

[20:55] item 11a.

[20:56] A training so I hate training

[20:58] so much. My name is Gord

[21:01] Orbison. Trainings are ruining

[21:02] signal Hill. They

[21:02] re ruining

[21:03] our community. They

[21:04] re beating

[21:05] our women in sport. They

[21:05] re

[21:08] feeding our women in county

[21:10] jail, and I think they should

[21:11] be locked up in the

[21:13] institutions. GOD bless America.

[21:15] GOD bless Donald Trump, and GOD

[21:17] bless Israel and GOD bless our

[21:25] governor Tex Dougherty.

[21:26] There are no additional

[21:27] speakers on Zoom. All right,

[21:28] with that, I

[21:29] ll bring it back

[21:31] to the city council for further

[21:33] comment or a motion.
