The meeting was held in the Community Room of the Simi Valley City Hall. Among those in attendance were representatives from the cities of Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, the County of Ventura, CalTrans, Moorpark College, VCAG, Sen. Ed Davis' office, and Assemblyman Tom McClintock's office. Below is a brief synopsis of the main topic of discussion, the Highway 118 widening project: Project Scope: Addition of one westbound "climbing" lane for truck traffic on the 118 freeway between Topanga Cyn. Blvd. and Rocky Peak (see attachment) . Target Construction Date: No date certain but construction could begin within a year if plans progress smoothly. Funding Sources: Estimated cost is approximately $1.7 million, utilizing a combination of State, Simi Valley and possibly some private funds. Jerry Baxter, (213) 620-3874, from CalTrans indicated that provision of some local private sector funding could significantly accelerate the project. He also suggested that some funds earmarked for the 405 lane addition project could be shifted to the 118 widening while the 405 is undergoing a major re-study. The general consensus of those in attendance was that this particular project was progressing at a favorable pace and that CalTrans was viewed as being cooperative when working with the local committee. Mention was made of future projects, including the 23/118 connector. We suggest that the City Council send a letter to the committee chairperson, Simi Councilmember Vicki Howard, suggesting that the 23/118 connector be adopted as the committee's next project. Furthermore, staff should contact CalTrans and determine what amount of funding may be available to divert to the 23/118 connector from the 405 lane addition project. Incidentally, Mr. Baxter mentioned that CalTrans will usually agree to relax its engineering standards for roads that are scheduled to be turned over to local governments. This policy may have some application regarding local efforts to utilize AOC funds to improve Los Angeles Avenue. The next meeting of the 118 Widening Committee is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, May 20 at 2:30 pm. , at the Simi Valley City Hall. �' � � wl Q e� 4 • �``stscgeKl -- I--- : • �r• i ' s `_ ..!l.au y1 �'�II r Sill NMQIN 1 i. yi i ti "- SWIM nrr.i1 i f}T1� 1 . r___ . ____ ,.‘" - III.: Unlit - n - ili_7,14:'. 4 � i � . _.
