SUBJECT: Construction of Improvements to the Intersection of Los
Angeles Avenue and Tierra Rejada Road, Including the
Construction of a Double Left -Turn Lane for West -to -South
Turning Movements
nTgrTTSSTnm
A. Double Left- Turn Lane
Certain conditions of approval of the Commercial Center at the
corner of Tierra Rejada Road and Mountain Trail Street required
the developer of the property (now Albertson's, Inc.) to
construct a double left -turn lane for westbound traffic at the
intersection of Los Angeles Avenue and Tierra Rejada Road.
The developer and their engineering consultant have been
working with City staff on the development of the design for
the construction of this modification to the subject
intersection. The final design calls for modifications to the
stripping to provide a westbound double left -turn lane
approximately three hundred feet (3001) long.
B. Improvements to Tierra Rejada Road & Gabbert Road
At the request of the City, Albertson's added to the plans for
their project, the construction of certain modifications to the
north and south legs of the intersection. These modifications
are needed to improve traffic flow and safety and to add Bike
Lanes at certain locations where none now exist. Said work will
include the following:
a) removal and relocation [five feet to the east] of the raised
center median in the south leg of the intersection;
b) re- striping of the north and south legs of the intersection;

c) the addition of Bike Lanes on the north and south legs of
the intersection where none now exist; and
d) the relocation of traffic loop detectors.
The civil engineering design work required for the relocation
of the raised median was done by a consultant retained by the
City. That design product was added to the design package
generated by the consultant retained by Albertson's.
C. Caltrans Permit
The design package has been completed and was submitted to
Caltrans for approval. Caltrans has issued an encroachment
permit to the City for all of the work required to be
constructed within the State right -of -way.
D. Agreement
Albertson's agrees with City staff that it would be easier,
simpler and more cost effective if the City were to construct
the entire joint project, with the costs of the double left -
turn lane to be funded by Albertson's. With the approval of
City Council, an Agreement will be prepared for that purpose.
E. Fiscal Impact
An estimate of the total project costs is as follows:

The FY 2000/01 Budget includes Project 8007 for this project. At
the beginning the fiscal year the amount of the appropriation
from the L. A. Avenue AOC Fund was $10,000. There have been
expenditures in the amount of $3,000 for the above mentioned
design for the relocation of the raised median.
When this project is presented to the City Council for award of
a construction contract, the budget will be amended to reflect
final estimated costs and revenues (from Albertson's).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement between the City
and Albertson's to provide for the payment, by Albertson's, of all
costs related to the construction of a westbound double left -turn
lane on Los Angeles Avenue at Tierra Rejada Road.
