The railroad company (Union Pacific Railroad) failed to perform the work on the requested date. On April 11, 2005 City staff received a request from Advance Warnings to change the date of Hunts Lane temporary street closure to April 20-24, 2005 and May 1-4, 2005 instead of April 3-7, 2005. Advance Warning of Reno, Nevada is a traffic control company specialist that handles Union Pacific Railroad projects. Hunts Lane falls on the boundary between City of Colton and City of San Bernardino. The west side is City of Colton's jurisdiction while the east side is City of San Bernardino. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: It is anticipated that the first temporary street closure will start from April 20, 2005 through April 24, 2005 for five (5) day duration and come back on May 1, 2005 through May 4, 2005 for four (4) day duration to complete the remaining portion of track repair. For the proposed detour (see Exhibit A), north bound traffic can take Commercial Road to Waterman Avenue. South bound traffic can take Redlands Blvd. or Club Center Drive to Waterman Avenue. Advance Warning will notify all the emergency services, school districts and the City of San Bernardino regarding the detail and scope of the street closure. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact for the City of Colton associated with the street closure. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The proposed public improvements are exempt under CEQA Section 15301 — Repair and maintenance of existing facilities with no expansion of an existing use.
