Gilbert, Director of Public Works April 23, 2001 (Council Meeting 5 -2 -01) SUBJECT: Consider Modifications to Street Improvements to the North Leg of the Intersection of Miller Parkway and Peach Hill Road Required to Facilitate U -Turn Traffic Movements OVERVIEW This report describes a project to construct modifications to the north leg of the intersection of Miller Parkway and Peach Hill Road, which would enable south -to -north "U- Turn" traffic movements at that intersection. Also discussed is an option to construct similar modifications to the south leg of the intersection to facilitate north -to -south "U- Turn" traffic movements. DISCUSSION A. Project Description: U -Turns for South -to -North Traffic 1. Existing Improvements: The existing improvements on Miller Drive were constructed to plans which were consistent with the conceptual designs set forth in the Carlsberg Specific Plan. Those design guidelines called for a fifty -four feet (541) wide street section, having one twelve feet (121) wide travel lane and one eight feet wide (81) Bike Lane in each direction (twenty feet (20' ) wide "barrel "] . 2. No -U- Turns: The twenty feet (201) wide dimension between the roadside curb and the median curb, is too narrow to allow U -Turn traffic movements at an intersection. 3. Proposed Modifications: It is proposed that the improvements at and north of the northeast corner of the intersection be reconstructed to provide sufficient width to allow south -to -north "U- turn" traffic movements. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a cross section of the Before and MillerMod_Proj2 .v ^0076 Miller Parkway Modifications April 23, 2001 Page 2 After condition in the area of the proposed modifications. The project would increase the width of the northbound barrel from twenty feet (201) to thirty -two feet (321). 4. General Description: In order to provide the additional pavement width required, it is recommended that the curb, and gutter in the affected area be moved twelve feet (121) to the east. The "widened" street would extend approximately sixty feet (60') to the north, creating a short acceleration lane for west -to -north right -turn traffic. 5. Plan View: A plan view of the north leg of the intersection showing the proposed modifications, is attached as Exhibit 2, Page 1. 6. Sidewalk Easement: The twelve feet (121) wide parkway could be preserved by moving the sidewalk to the east. If the sidewalk is relocated in this manner, it will be necessary for the City to obtain a seven feet (71) wide sidewalk easement from the adjacent Open Space lot. That parcel (Parcel OS -2 of Tract 4976) is owned by the Serenata Homeowner's Association. Exhibit 2, page 2, shows the general location of this Sidewalk Easement. 7. Grading and Landscaping Plans: Attached for reference is a copy of the Grading Plan (Exhibit 2, page 3) and the Landscaping Plan (Exhibit 2, page 4) in the area of the proposed Sidewalk Easement. 8. Scope of Work: The Scope of Work for this project is generally described as follows: • Relocate traffic signal pole at easterly ECR (end curb radius) ; • Replace traffic signal pole and mast arm at westerly BCR (Beginning Curb radius) [Note: the wider street will require a longer mast arm for the signal heads which, in turn, will require a larger pole]; • Relocate traffic signal pull boxes; • Relocate catch basin east of intersection; • Install storm drain pipe and manhole; • Remove and replace curb & gutter; • Remove and replace sidewalk; • Construct asphalt pavement; • Transplant trees; • Replace irrigation system; • Replant ground cover and shrubs; and • Re- grading at back of sidewalk. MillerMod_Proj2 0 00'' Miller Parkway Modifications April 23, 2001 Page 3 9. Cost Estimate: The estimated cost of the above described modifications is as follows: • Design: $ 5,000 • Construction $ 84,000 • Inspection: $ 1,000 (In- house) $ 90,000 10. Funding Source: It is proposed that the above described street modifications be funded by Traffic Mitigation Fees paid, and to be paid, by the properties within the Carlsberg Specific Plan [Fund 20023. B. North -to -South U -Turns It is the view of staff that the need and demand for a north - to -south U -Turn movement is not as great as the need and demand for the south -to -north U -turn movement -- the latter need arising from traffic generated by the Mesa Verde Middle School. It is, therefore, not recommend that modifications be made to the west side of Miller Parkway south of the intersection to facilitate that traffic movement. However, should it be the desire of the City Council that the scope of the subject project include this option, it is estimated that the cost of that work will be comparable to the estimated cost for the proposed modifications to the north leg of the intersection [$90.000 +3. No firm concepts or cost estimates have been developed for this option. C. Schedule It is anticipated that a design for the proposed modifications could be completed within three (3) months and the construction of the project could be started about five (5) months from now. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS (Roll Call Vote Required) Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1. Approve the subject project. 2. Confirm the scope of the project to include only the intersection modifications necessary to facilitate south -to- north "U- Turn" traffic movements.
