City Engineer DATE: November 6, 1991 '_)?PARK, CALIFORNIA v Council Nlleo,ng I 99L ACTION; SUBJECT: Conceptual designs for Walnut St. & Charles St. WALNUT STREET BACKGROUND Lack of standard curb and gutter combined with poor slopes and asphalt contribute to poor drainage along Walnut St. between Charles St. and High St. There is no clear delineation between pedestrian and vehicular traffic along much of the southerly por- tion of the street and the condition of the street and sidewalk is in poor condition overall. The angled parking interrupts traffic and creates a nuisance during heavy traffic. ANALYSIS The proposed improvements will repair and replace catch basins and install new standard curb and gutter along the entire length. Angled parking will be replaced with parallel parking and the street will be removed and reconstructed. Sidewalk will be in- stalled along the entire length and driveway aprons will be re- placed where existing. The purpose of these improvements is to facilitate proper drainage, delineate pedestrian from vehicular traffic, and to im- prove congestion and overall condition of the street. The existing right-of-way is 80' and the improved street width will remain as existing at 48'wide. CHARLES STREET BACKGROUND Several options of improvements were reviewed by the City Council on June 17, 1991. The existing street is scattered with broken and raised curb, gutter, and sidewalk due to tree roots and poor PAUL W. LAWRASON JR, BERNARDO M. PEREZ SCOTT MONTGOMERY ROY E. TALLEY JR. JOHN E. WOZNIAK Mayor Mayor Pro Tem Councilmember Councilmember Councilmember drainage. Much of the parkway drains back towards private property rather than towards the street. The street is in over- all poor condition and reconstruction was determined to be the best course of action from Spring Rd. to Moorpark Ave. ANALYSIS The proposed improvements include complete reconstruction of the street, new curb and gutter, sidewalk, driveway aprons, tree wells along with root pruning and root guards, (street trees are proposed to be saved), catch basin and storm drain facilities to tie into the existing storm drain. The existing right-of-way is 60 feet and the proposed street im- provements will maintain the existing 36`width. Due to the elevation difference from the north parkway to the south parkway, different curb heights are proposed. The northern curb will be 8"high and the south curb will be 6"high. The cross slope of the street will also be different on the north side than the south side. To provide positive drainage to the gutters from both the centerline of the street and from the parkways, the cross slope of the northside of the street will be 1.5% and the southside will range from 2% - 3.4%. This is in the range of ac- ceptable practice in such conditions where common elevations on each side of the street are not feasible. Due to foreseeable financial constraints for construction on Charles St. a proposed phasing diagram has been attached along with the overall street improvement plans for both Walnut St. and Charles St. Limits of construction for phase I are shown in this diagram.
