Hollister City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportatio Department BY: Ken Joseph, P. E., City Engineer Engineering and Transportation Department SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE WORK FOR THE EAST 14 STREET (SR 185) WEST BROADMOOR BOULEVARD TO HAYS STREET STRIPING AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, PROJECT NO. 09-120-38-244. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends acceptance of the work, filing of the Notice of Completion, and upon completion to the satisfaction of the City Engineer of the one -year maintenance period, hereby authorizes the City Manager to release the Maintenance Bond for the subject project. BACKGROUND This project provided for new roadway striping along East 14 Street between Hays Street and West Broadmoor Boulevard. The project also included the construction of a semi - roundabout at the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and West Broadmoor Boulevard. The project resulted from several community meetings to address the community's goals of improving northbound traffic flow on East 14 Street, providing better access from side streets and enhancing pedestrian safety. The project included: 1) removing the existing striping and replacing it with the reconfigured striping design; 2) removing and replacing traffic loops at the East 14` Street and Dutton Avenue intersection; and 3) reconfiguring the traffic signal's mast arms to line up correctly with the reconfigured striping. The project maintained the center two -way left -turn lane, but an additional through travel lane was added in the northbound direction between Hays Street and Georgia Way north of Dutton Avenue. Pedestrian safety features, such as in- street pedestrian signs, were added at selected crosswalks that serve relatively higher pedestrian volumes but do not have traffic signals. Two - way left -turn lanes and parallel parking remained.
