AGENDA REPORT y \ � ��'�
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: March 22, 1996 (CC Meeting: 4 -3 -96)
SUBJECT: Consider Authorization to Advertise for Receipt of Bids
for the Widening of Moorpark Avenue to Facilitate Right
Turn Traffic from Moorpark Avenue to Poindexter Avenue
[9K�'+7
A. General Description
The subject project provides the relocation of the curb and
gutter on the west side of Moorpark Avenue north of Poindexter
Avenue to increase the width of the existing southbound lane to
facilitate south -to -west right turn traffic.
B. Design
The project design calls for moving the curb and gutter on the
west side of Moorpark Avenue westerly approximately four feet
(41), from the beginning of the curb radius on Poindexter
Avenue to a point approximately one hundred eighty feet (1801)
north of the intersection. The relocation of the curb will
require the relocation of a traffic signal pole and certain
utility vaults at this corner. The width of the sidewalk will
be reduced from approximately nine feet ( 9' ) to five feet ( 5') .
The location of the back of the sidewalk will remain unchanged,
as will the three feet (31) wide dirt area between the sidewalk
and the building. The plans and specifications will include the
recently issued Caltrans Permit for this work.
Subsequent to the construction of the project, the width of the
existing southbound lane just north of the intersection will be
increased from fifteen feet (151) to approximately nineteen
feet (191). This wider travel lane will make it easier for
south -to -west right turn traffic to turn right on a red light
when southbound through traffic is staged at the intersection.
B. Plans and Specifications
A copy of the Plans and Specifications for the project have
been placed in the City Council office for your review.
