PAVIN In April 1996 the City completed a project for the installation of a traffic signal at the subject intersection. The design for that traffic signal provides for a permissive/restrictive left turn phase for west -to -south left turners. As you may know, such a design provides for a restricted left turn phase (left green arrow), followed by permissive left turns on a GREEN light (green hall) as gaps in the traffic allow. 2. In October 1996 the City Council directed the City 'Traffic Engineer to perform a traffic study at this intersection for the purpose of identifying any desirable safety improvements. One possible outcome of that study would be the elimination of the permissive /restrictive left turn phase, with left turns restricted to a GREEN ARROW only. 3. On January 15, 1997, the City Council directed the City Engineer to proceed with the preparation of a design to construct certain modifications to the intersection to improve traffic safety. 1, A. Project Cost Estimate The approved changes to the intersection extend the center median for the east leg of the intersection westerly approximately sixty feet (60'). A preliminary cost estimate for these improvements is summarized as follows- Design: $4,500 Construction: $10,000 Constr Contingency (10 %) $ 1,000 Admin & Inspection: $ 2,500 Total $18.000 bgt96 -2 V'L� i 0000%a i Moorpark Road / 'Tierra Rejada Road February 5, 1997 Page 2 When the design is completed it is the intent of staff to present this project to the County of Ventura with a request that they fund one -third (1/3) of the costs. If approved the estimated net cost to the City is as follows: Total Cost: $18,000 Less County Share: $ 6,000 Net City Share: $12,000 C. Budget Amendment The construction of the traffic signal at the subject intersection was funded by the Spring Road / Tierra Rejada Road AOC. It is recommended, therefore, that these improvements also be funded from that source. A summary of the amendment to the budget appropriations and the Budget to fund this project is summarized as follows: ACCOUNT NUMBER CURRENT FY%/97 APPROPRIATION SUBJECT APPROPRIATION TOTAL FY %/97 APPROPRIATION 211.900.8039.000.9903 $0.00 $18,000 $18,000 TOTALS: $0.00 $18,000 $18,000 RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution 97 - approving a budget amendment to fund the construction of certain improvements at the intersection of Moorpark Road and Tierra Rejada Road from the Spring Road/Tierra Rejada Road Area of Contribution Fund J Account No.: 211.900.8039.000.99031 in the amount of $18,000_ bgt96 -2 UUU254
