Background In September of this year the City Council approved a new project to construct certain improvements at the Civic Center site to improve vehicular access. Project 8053 was established with a preliminary funding amount of $30,000. B. Tentative Project Scope The tentative scope of the project involves two components: 1) the widening and re- striping of Moorpark Avenue driveway to provide a left /thru plus a right only lane for egress traffic; and 2) the construction of site modifications to facilitate ingress and egress traffic between the west end of the Library parking lot and High Street, through the old Mobile Home park. C. Conceptual Design The City has retained the services of a civil engineer [The Keith Companies] to prepare the design for this project. A copy of the draft conceptual design for the project is attached as Exhibit 1. Civic center driveway2 000219 Civic Center Driveways November 10, 2003 Page 2 D.
