BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of constructing improvements at four bus stop locations along Kettleman Lane (Highway 12) on the GrapeLine's fixed -route bus system. One stop will receive new concrete and three will receive new shelters. Each new shelter will include a bench and a trash can. City staff will work with property owners to obtain license agreements prior to the start of construction for bus stop improvements partially on private property. The improvements provide wider pedestrian travel paths and meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The proposed bus stop improvements are as follows: 1 . Kettleman Lane west of Church Street — south side of the street 2. Kettleman Lane west of Crescent Avenue — north side of the street 3. Kettleman Lane east of Crescent Avenue — south side of the street 4. Kettleman Lane east of Stockton Street — north side of the street These locations were selected based on the Short Range Transit Plan recommendations accepted by Council in September 2013 and the bus stop board ing/alig hti ng surveys. The bus stop locations included in this plan are in Caltrans' right-of-way and will require an encroachment permit prior to construction. The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The project will advertise for bid once the Caltrans encroachment permit is obtained. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in the long-term maintenance costs associated with these improvements, which will be included in future Transit Operations budgets. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award. F.
