HATE: March 14, 1985
SUBJECT: Lockeford Street Improvements -
Pieasant Avenue to Sacramento SLreet
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council discuss this Street Improvement
Project and give staff direction as it relates to possible widening between
Church Street and Sacramento Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In the City's 1985 Capital Improvement Program, there
was $86,000 budgeted for providing an asphalt overlay on Lockeford Street from
Pleasant Avenue to Sacramento Street. See the attached exhibit. The Southern
Pacific Railroad has planned for some time to replace their ties and raise
their rails between Pleasant and Church Street due to settlement. Increasing
the height of the rail will provide for the City's overlay and will improve
the cross slope between the rails and the curb. Because of the flatness of
the street and some settlement in the area of Church to Sacramento, we asked
Southern Pacific to consider raising the rails in this area also and we have
indicated that we would provide some participation. The estimate at the time
the budget was prepared included participation to Southern Pacific but did not
include any curb and gutter replacement.
However, in ding a detailed field review of the existing curb and gutter, it
appears that most all of the curb and gutter on the north side between Church
and School should be replaced and approximately 50% of the curb and gutter
should be rep;aced on the south side. There is also need for some replacement
on the north side of Lockeford between School and Sacramento.
The City presently has the ultimate 80 foot street right-of-way between Church
and Sacramento Street. The south side of Lockeford between School and Sacramento
Street fronting Weil Motors, has already been widened: to ultimate (32 foot half
street width). All of the remaining existing sidewalk is located at its ul-
timate location from centerline (plus or minus 611) and there is presently an
existing landscaped parkway between this sidewalk and the existing curb and
gutter. The City Street Master Plan shows Lockeford Street as a 64 foot curb -
to -curb street in an 80 foot right-of-way.
Since approximately one half of the curb and gutter between Church and Sacramento
Street needs replacement, and since the City already owns the ultimate 80 foot
right-of-way, and since the existing sidewalk is located at its ultimate
location, and since the south half of Lockeford between School and Sacramento
APPROVED:.

is already widened to ultimate, it appears reasonable to consider widening
this two -block area now as part of this construction project.
The proposed widening will also provide for additional shyway distance from
the railroad tracks, which are in the center of the street. it is not in-
tended to stripe this widened area to four lanes at this time. The cross
section would be similar to that which is presently existing in front of
Neil Motors just east of School Street. The proposed widening does mean that
the City's (11) Locust trees in the parkway between Church and School would
have to be removed. However, the City could offer new trees to the property/
owners as part of our tree planting program, i.e., similar to what is being
done on Ham Lane. Without widening, the actual cost, including the required
curb and gutter replacement, will be approximately $95,000. Lockeford
Street between Church and Sacramento could be widened to ultimate at an
added cost of approximately $40,000.
The staff would like to receive some direction from the Council as it relates
to this possible widening. If the concept is approved, we would then prepare
a negative declaration and hold a public hearing as it relates to the proposed
widening to get public input. It is felt by the Community Development Department
that we may t have to go through the full EIR process.
