File Number: 20-066 Street and East 14th Street and overcrossings such as Marina Boulevard located in San Leandro that are under Caltrans’ jurisdiction. The proposed amendment and new agreements will extend the City’s shared maintenance responsibilities to include the new improvements of Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons on Davis Street at Carpentier Street, aesthetic improvements at the Marina Boulevard and Davis Street Overcrossings, and signal improvement at the Marina Boulevard Interchange. The City was awarded $254,405 in the 2015-16 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) cycle to install a HAWK signal at the Davis Street and Carpentier Street intersection. Davis Street is State Route 112 and the City has agreements with Caltrans for maintenance responsibilities on State roads throughout the City. Additionally, Caltrans plans to install HAWK signals at two locations along East 14th Street at the intersections of 144th Avenue and Cornwall Way/Blossom Way and one on Davis Street at Clarke Street. These HAWK signals are intended to improve pedestrian safety in the City. In conjunction with Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), Caltrans, and with “fair share” funding derived from the Kaiser Hospital Development’s environmental impact report project mitigations, the City completed the reconstruction of the Marina Boulevard Interchange. The Davis Street Interchange was also completed with funding from SB 1266 - Proposition 1B “The Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006). Both interchanges include aesthetic improvements to slope paving and bridge fencing currently installed. As a part of the Hospital Development, Kaiser paid fees that provide for the City’s installation of an adaptive traffic control system for the Marina Boulevard corridor from east of I-880 to Merced Street. Analysis Caltrans requires that the City, as a condition of approval for an encroachment permit to install a HAWK signal at Davis Street and Carpentier Street, amend its existing 1995 Agreement for Maintenance of State Highways in the City of San Leandro to address maintenance costs and responsibilities for the new pedestrian signal equipment. Additionally, Caltrans requires the amendment with the City of San Leandro to specifically distribute the cost for the new HAWK Signals (Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons), which are being installed by the City. The new overcrossings at Marina Boulevard and Davis Street include specialty aesthetics such as ornamental fencing and architectural slope paving. As a condition of installing these aesthetic improvements at the Davis Street and Marina Boulevard Overcrossings along with proposed adaptive traffic signal control improvements at the Marina Boulevard Interchange funded by Kaiser, Caltrans requires a new Freeway Maintenance Agreement to define responsibilities and distribute maintenance costs. Upon authorization of the Freeway Maintenance Agreement, Caltrans will approve encroachment permits that will allow City staff to complete the installation of the adaptive traffic signal control system. The additional maintenance work will be performed by Public Works Services staff. The slope paving requires litter and debris removal and the signals require preventative maintenance such as traffic controller adjustments, lens cleaning and knock down repair. Funding for litter and debris removal from the slope paving is from the Stormwater Fund 598-58-006, which currently Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/25/2020 1047
