CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT Council. Meeting of January 13, 1998 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members APPROVAL: Len Wood, Interim City Manager FROM: Daryl Parrish SUBJECT: Request to Close Portions of San Bernardino Avenue to Through Traffic for the Purpose of Constructing Infrastructure and Traffic Mitigation ImprovementsRelated to the San Bemardino Medical Center Replacement Project. DATE: January 5, 1998 BACKGROUND: In conjunction with the construction of the Infrastructure and Traffic Mitigation Improvements surrounding the San Bemardino County Medical Center Replacement Project, >certain ` streets (specifically, Meridian, Pepper and San Bemardino Avenues) must be closed at various times to through traffic. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In order to relocate utilities and construct infrastructure and traffic mitigation facilities on San Bemardino Avenue, San Bernardino Avenue should be closed to through traffic between Pepper and Meridian Avenues beginning on approximately January 26, 1998 through approximately February 18, 1998. All of the work performed and the signs and barricades used will be as per the State of Califomia, Department of Transportation Manual of Traffic Control for Construction and Maintenance Work Zones and Work Area Transportation Control Handbook (WATCH Manual). In order to mitigate the impact of these street closures on the public, the construction manager and the contractor will deliver informative flyers to residents and businesses surrounding the construction area beginning on approximately January 19, 1998. Additionally, messages regarding this, and future street closures related to this project will appear on Colton Utility bills which are mailed to all Colton residents and businesses. A message will also appear on the Colton cable access channel. ALTERNATIVES: Periodically- close San Bemardino Avenue to accommodate the construction of infrastructure improvements for periods of less than twenty-four hours. The drawbacks associated with this method are (1) that the construction schedule to complete the improvements on San Bemardino Avenue will be drawnout an additional two weeks, Item# 21
