[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, 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.
[21:33] I
[21:35] ll move the item as presented
[21:38] 2nd, got a motion by Council
[21:39] member Woods, seconded by
[21:41] Council member Copeland, uh,
[21:42] all in favor? Aye.
[21:45] And he opposed, abstained.
[21:49] All right, thank you. Um,
[21:50] Consent Keller, anybody wish to
[21:51] pull anything from the consent
[21:54] calendar?
[21:56] See not anybody from the public
[21:57] like to pull anything from the
[22:00] consent calendar.
[22:02] All right, uh, nobody wishes to
[22:02] do that. I
[22:04] ll seek a motion to
[22:06] approve the consent calendar.
[22:08] I move the consent calendar.
[22:10] Got a motion in a 2nd. All in
[22:13] favor. Aye, aye.

[22:17] Thank you.
[22:19] All right, uh, moving on to
[22:22] council, new business. Council
[22:24] member Woods? No, no new
[22:25] business, but just a reminder
[22:27] to stay safe. Schools starting
[22:30] and, and all areas and
[22:31] different parts of the city and
[22:32] different school districts. So
[22:33] just a, a good heads up. It
[22:34] s
[22:35] that time of year and be
[22:37] especially careful of our
[22:39] students and their routes to
[22:39] school.
[22:42] Ok. Council Member Jones. Um, I
