RECOMMENDED ACTION Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
2015 GrapeLine Bus Stop Accessibility and Shelter lmprovements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of removing accessibility barriers near eight
Grapeline bus stops and installing shelters at nine bus stop
locations. Curb ramps will be installed at 11 locations and alley
approaches will be reconstructed at the locations to meet ADA guidelines. Each new shelter will include
lighting, a bench, and a trash can.
The proposed locations of the improvements are as follows:
1. Cherokee Lane south of Lodi Avenue - west side of the street (alley approach)
2. Northwest corner of Cherokee Lane and Elm Street (ramp)
3. Northwest corner of Cherokee Lane and Hilborn Street (ramp)
4. Pine Street east of Main Street - south side of the street (alley approach)
5. Turner Road and Rutledge Drive (ramps)
6. Northwest corner of Cherokee Lane and Poplar Street (ramp)
7. Cherokee Lane and Delores Street (ramps, curb, gutter and sidewalk)
8. CentralAvenue and Vine Street (ramps)
9. Cherokee Lane north of Elm Street - west side of the street (shelter)
10. Lodi Avenue west of School Street - south side of the street (shelter)
11. Northeast corner of Stockton Street and Almond Drive (shelter)
12. Vine Street and Fairmont Street (shelters)
13. Ham Lane south of Tokay Street - west side of the street (shelter)
14. Ham Lane south of Tokay Street - east side of the street (shelter)
15. Elm Street west of Ham Lane - north side of the street (shelter)
16. Elm Street west of Ham Lane - south side of the street (shelter)
These locations were selected based on bus stop boarding/alighting surveys and the Short Range
Transit Plan recommendations accepted by Council in September 2013. The City's curb ramp database
was used to select the appropriate accessibility improvements near the bus stops.
The specifications are on file in the Puþlic Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
January 14,2015.
