File Number: 15-065 <br />visual placement of each element in a station's artistic design). <br /> <br />"Ribbon of text" is a significant element of the design and consists of poem-like original text <br />that will connect all stations along the corridor. This text is intended to resonate with the <br />community and would be a key element of the Artist Team's Corridor-wide approach. A "flow <br />line" is drawn from local creek, lake and coastal maps and integrated with the iconic and text <br />elements mentioned above, unfolding in a color scheme that reflects the surroundings and <br />identifies the various groupings of stations. The text that will be included on San Leandro’s <br />five stations follows: <br />cherry songs and blossoms <br />bouquets like promises/dahlias open to city air <br />wishes enveloped red <br />rails sing/ through wired airways <br />shimmering/ our hellos <br />sidewalk strollers/ in urban flow <br />gather together/ we dream <br />pathways to other worlds <br />All BRT stations will receive some gesture of artistic enhancement - either "standard" or in <br />some cases "enhanced". The standard enhancements will be on the handrail panels. See <br />Attachment 1, Figure A, for an example of what is planned for the handrails of the North <br />bound Georgia Way station. <br />An enhanced station includes artistic elements on the windscreen in addition to the handrails. <br />See Attachment 1, Figure B, for an example of what has been designed for the Georgia Way <br />station. <br />Based on the number of stations in San Leandro, the City was allocated one enhanced <br />station. Staff recommends enhancing two stations - the Georgia Way station and the <br />Downtown San Leandro station based upon the prominence of these locations. AC Transit <br />has agreed to enhance two stations if San Leandro pays for the additional costs associated <br />with the second station. The costs of the additional windscreens for the two platforms are as <br />follows: <br />Artist Design, Services & Management Fee $15,000 <br />Screen Fabrication 45,364 <br />Contingency 1,000 <br />Credit for cost of standard screen (11,894) <br />Additional Cost of Enhanced Screen $49,470 <br />Fiscal Impacts & Budget Authority <br />This General Fund program will cost $49,500. The City Manager’s Contingency Fund <br />(Account 010-14-015) in the FY 2014-15 Budget is to be increased by $49,500 to be funded <br />from the Economic Uncertainty Reserve. <br />ATTACHMENT <br />·Attachment 1: BRT Design Features for Georgia Way Station <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/24/2015
