AGENDA TITLE: Select Design Alternative and Approve Plans and Specifications and Advertisement
for Bids for Sacramento Street Reconstruction, Pine Street to Oak Street
MEETING DATE: April 7, 1999
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of reconstructing approximately 24,000 square
feet of asphalt concrete pavement and replacing curb, gutter, sidewalk,
street lights, street trees along the west side of the street, and other
incidental improvements. This work is to be done in conjunction with
the Multimodal Station Project.
This is the first major street improvement project adjacent to the Downtown street project recently
completed. Staff is seeking Council confirmation on continuing the practice of placing trees in the
parking zone as was done on School and Oak streets versus replacing the improvements as is.
Continuation of this design on other Downtown streets was not specifically addressed in the Downtown
Concept Plan. (In fact, some of the graphics imply it was not to be continued.) However, there are
some significant advantages to this design:
• The pedestrian space is enlarged which also allows more room for outdoor seating
and/or merchandise displays.
• The trees are further away from awnings and street lights, thus reducing conflicts.
• The trees can grow and be pruned to provide better shade than ones located close to
the buildings.
The two designs are shown on the attached detail. The "tree -in -parking -zone" configuration, while
providing an improved pedestrian environment, causes the loss of five parking spaces in this block.
While the loss of a few parking stalls is of concern, with the additional spaces to be added by the
Multimodal Station and future projects, staff feels the advantages outweigh that concern.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
FUNDING: The money for this project is included in the Multimodal Station Project budget.
