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 doing 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 replaced 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 1Veil :Motors, has already been widened to ultimate (32 foot half street width). All of the remaining existing sidewalk is located at its ultimate location from centerline (plus or minus 6") and there is presently an existing landscaped parlway between this sidewalk and the existing curb and gutter. The City treet N!aster 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 patter 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 is already widened to ultimate, it appears reasonable to consider widening this two -block area now as part of this construction project.

I The proposed widening will also provide for additional shyway distance from the railroad tracks, which are in the center c)f the street. It is riot intended 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 Weil Motors iust east of School Street. The proposed widerir�g 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 approxiriately $95,000. Loekeford 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 C nmunity Development Department that use may not have to go through the full EIR process. s/Jack L. Ronsko Public Works Director Following a lengthy discussion with questions being directed to Staff, Council, on motion of Council Merrier Pinkerton, Snider second, set a Public Hearing at the April 14, 3985 Regular Meeting for consideration of the certification of the filing of a Negative Declaration of the Lockeford Street Inprovement Project - Church to Sacramento Street.
