Gilbert, Director of Public Works k DATE: March 7, 1994 (Council Meeting 3 -16 -1994) SUBJECT: Reconsider Design for the Reconstruction of Walnut Street between High Street to Charles Street 1. Some time ago, in conjunction with the design effort for the reconstruction of Charles Street, the City Engineer prepared a design for the reconstruction of Walnut Street between High Street and Charles Street. That design calls for a pavement width of forty -six feet (46' and provides for parallel on- street parking. 2. Last December the City Council authorized staff to proceed with the redesign of this street (see Exhibit 'A') to increase the pavement to sixty -four feet ( 6,+ 1 in order to accommodate angle parking. DISCUSSION A. Earthquake Damage One of the primary reasons for the establishment of angle parking on Walnut Street was to accommodate the parking needs of the Mayfair Market. This structure sustained severe damage during the recent earthquake. It will be necessary for all or a portion of the Mayfair Market building to be demolished and reconstructed. This reconstruction effort will have to comply with applicable City codes -- including providing some amount of on -site parking. The need for angle parking may no longer be necessary or desirable depending on the design plan for the new facility. wInt, . Walnut Street Desiqn March 1994 Page 2 B. Committee Review At their meeting of March 2, 1994, the Public Works, Facilities and Solid Waste Committee (Councilmembers Montgomery and Wozniak) considered this matter. After some discussion the Committee concurred with staff's recommendation to take this matter back to the City Council with a request that a final decision regarding the design of the street be deferred until development plans for adjacent properties are better known. RECOMMENDATION Staff and the Public Works, Facilities and Solid Waste Committee recommend that the proposed redesign of Walnut Street to accommodate angle parking be deferred until on street parking requirements are better known. v]ct2 O r r y .�'•• .• ,;,�, ,�". , r "fY�, . r�:r''� °�irh. %r:::,y�i1�'p�3��� F =-..°J Y - i-.z�.�.� ••� �� I� ;�GV' 4i '�r ���i�i±�i7,! � � +5%,iv�•- � is �_e �'.l.T+ •j ^i•:•�• - •�1' -� fir•— •I NS VMP MIS 6. a-A • i.�Ai."6- - .ate. :_�s�i .+sdz�.' .�Q " `'�cf' . �- Y.OL F _ell t A A F,�� • �i��. �� �.�bi -I irl� +" S%���. � ®f■il��ti�►1r1.�ia�ir��6'33iFA — .. � rte• _ � � P ..i•. .� .� NKINIM.
