Monthly CIP Executive Report for February 2018 March 6, 2018 Page 2 notice and door hangers for any water service interruption. Construction will tentatively begin May 2018. All the water mains, services, fire hydrants, and appurtenances will be replaced in the neighborhood including Sail Street, Highland Street, Deming Street, Kedge Avenue, Maxine Street, Wisteria Place, Flight Avenue, Ballast Avenue, Crystal Lane, and Lahnaardt Avenue. Warner Improvements/Widening - Main Street to Oak Street Warner Avenue Improvements Phase 1 from Main Street to Oak Street commenced the right-of- way acquisition process in August 2017. This process has led to the first few acquisitions based on amicable negotiations. Three purchase agreements were recently approved by City Council, and four more are being submitted for City Council approval in March 2018. Staff will continue to coordinate with the right-of-way consultants and the property owners and/or tenants to complete the remaining 11 full property acquisitions and 5 partial property acquisitions. The design of the street improvements is now underway as a result of the council approved design agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates in February 2018. The engineering services will include both Phase 2A (Oak Street to Grand Avenue) and Phase 2B (Grand Avenue to Wright Street) of the project. Installation of 29 New Bus Shelters The installation of the 29 bus shelters has been completed. As an enhancement to this project, graphic panels with safety messaging were recently installed on all new bus shelters, in alignment with the Safe Mobility Santa Ana Plan. Staff is not yet done, and will be researching for grants and /or financing to replace more bus shelters, ultimately leading to replacing all of them. Staff is also looking for ways to provide Wi-Fi access to selected shelters as a demonstration project which would also provide commuters with real time electronic passenger information display signs, and also generate advertising revenue from electronic ads. Seventeenth Street Medians Staff is currently doing research to determine the best approach to retrofitting irrigation in street medians so existing trees can be watered most effectively. Thereafter, bids will be sought to engage a construction contractor to install an irrigation system conversion. Staff has been working with the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committee (ETAC) to select the location of this demonstration project, and will also look to receive feedback from ETAC upon completion of the irrigation system design. Seventeenth Street will be the pilot location, with improvements beginning at the east city limit (Penn Way) and working east to west. 19C-2
