Dennis Delzeit, City Engineer /2,~ 1..).12-0.., DATE: February 12, 1986 SUBJECT: Pavement Conditions of Los Angeles Avenue East of College View Avenue (Old Route 118) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At a recent meeting, the City Council expressed concern regarding pavement conditions on the subject street and asked if it would be appropriate to request CalTrans to suspend relinquishment proceedings until such time as the pavement is repaired. A field review of this street reveals that the pavement is in a good state of repair except within the immediate vicinity of the railroad tracks. According to Jack Hallin, Chief of CalTrans Project Development Branch C, the pavement condition in this area is the responsibility of the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. Mr. Hallin also indicated that the roadway relinquishment hq.s already been recorded. The southern Pacific Transportation Company has been requested to repair this crossing, as well as the other two crossings within the City Limits (refer to enclosed letter). RECOMMENDED ACTION: This material is provided for information only, and no action is required.

GILL::S?IE Ch1ei of Po11ce Subject: Railroad Grade Crossings in the City of Moorpark Dear Mr. Skaff: I would like to take this opportunity to alert you to the condition of the railroad grade crossings within the City. There are three of these crossings, all of which are in a poor state of repair. A field inspection indicates that the wooden planking at these crossings has deteriorated and is loose. The asphalt pavement adjacent to and between tracks is also in need of repair. All three of these crossings are located on State highways, and two of them experience extremely heavy truck traffic loads. Due to this truck traffic, I recommend your consideration of installing rubber crossing pads at crossings No. E427.4 and E427.0 . . These crossings are located gn Moorpark Road and Moorpark Avenue, respectively. The third crossing is designated E429.6, and is located on Old Route 118 south of College View Avenue. Although I realize that rubber crossing pads represent significant costs, I feel that their long lifetime, low maintenance, and safer operation warrants their serious consideration. At the least, all three intersections should be reconstructed. If major reconstruction will require more than two months to schedule, the City requests that you provide temporary patch paving repair at all three crossings. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6264 Page -2- To enable me to report to the City Council, I would appreciate your written response to these requests. Thank you. RDD:MW: jg Very truly y.ours, CITY OF MOORPARK R.
