FILE NUMBER
\l/. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Union Pacific
Railroad Company for improvements to the Flower Street railroad crossing
for a total cost of $64,849.
DISCUSSION
Staff has received Transportation Demand Management funds for the
improvement of the Flower Street Bike Trail Gap Closure. Construction is
anticipated to begin in March 2006. When completed, it will join the
recently constructed Alton/Maple Bike Trail to the south and the existing
Flower Street Bike Trail to the north at Dyer/Segerstrom Road (Exhibit
1). Within the limits of this project, the bike trail crosses over the
Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) track.
City staff has met with representatives from UPRR to obtain a license to
construct and maintain the bike trail across their right-of-way.
Additionally, as part of the gap closure project, the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) requires the City to upgrade the existing
gate crossing signal flashing lenses for safety enhancement at the City's
cost.
The cost of improvements for the railroad crossing enhancements and
license is $64,849. These safety enhancements will provide improved
warning and safety to the pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists in the
vicinity of the railroad crossing.
