EXHIBIT 1 Page 1 of 4 City Council Priority Information and Recommendations Bristol Street Rehabilitation –Make it a priority to wrap up the project The Bristol Street Phase 4 project has a budget of $20,667,120, entirely funded from restricted money sources. The latest estimates indicate there is a $680,000 funding shortfall for this project. Construction is expected to begin towards the end of 2024, as the project has required coordination with 6 utility companies for a single trench in the roadway. Staff plans to include a one-time spending allocation of $680,000 in the proposed FY24-25 budget. Repair Civic Center Drive from Flower to Bristol Public Works is planning a project for FY24-25 to repair Civic Center Drive from Shelton to Flower for an estimated cost of $1,220,000 from Gas Tax revenue. If the project were to be expanded to Bristol Street, the project estimate would increase by $900,000 and additional funding would be necessary. Repair Raitt Street from Civic Center to Washington This project has not yet been programmed or funded. The street is concrete, and the estimated cost to demolish and replace is $3 million. Repair 5th Street from Raitt to Fairview This project has not yet been programmed or funded. The estimated cost to repave is $1.6 million. Safer Streets in Various Locations Chestnut and Ross: A section of the street is currently being studied for appropriate improvements. We have funding if stop signs or speed humps are warranted, and no additional funding would be necessary. McFadden from Flower to Main: We have a Capital improvement project going out to bid by June that will install protected (and striped) bike lanes along McFadden in those limits. The street will be repaved and striped as part of project. Center from Edinger to McFadden: We have received a grant for the Safe Routes to Schools improvements on Center between Edinger & Wilshire. Improvements do not extend all the way to McFadden. Additional bulb outs, etc. toward McFadden would require approximately $500,000 in new funding. Pine near Santa Ana High School: We will need to evaluate this section of street. We have funding if stop signs or speed humps are warranted, and no additional funding would be necessary. Alley Improvements The General Fund has a recurring alley improvement program of $1.5 million annually. Fencing on the Canal on Raitt Street Between Edinger and McFadden This fencing is owned and maintained by the County. Staff will coordinate with the County to request an upgrade from the existing chain link to wrought iron. Add a Third Quality of Life Team The estimated cost of a third team is $440,000. This includes a cleaning crew of 2 for a cost of approximately $140,000 and police support for a cost of approximately $300,000. Keep Sales-Tax Generating Areas Clean & Safe Staff is proposing an increase to the Sanitation Fee to preserve and enhance Citywide services.
