FISCAL IMPACT: $296,000 Funded by Certificates of Participation (Bond Proceeds) Authorized by City Council BACKGROIJND: Thc Water System Storage Evaluation Study completed by Daniel Boyle Engineering in October of 1990 identified potential problems with the retaining wall at Rawlings Reservoir. Subsequently, more detailed engineering and geological studies have confirmed that the wall should be repaired or replaced. Preliminary design of thc project resulted in a recommendation that the city purchase the single family residence adjacent to the south property line of the reservoir. It was determined that the long term needs of the water system would best be met by purchasing the property, and the purchase has been completed. The scope of the project includes demolition and reconstruction of the easterly reservoir retaining wall, construction of a sloped fill to support the southerly retaining wall, reconstruction of the alley access, and demolition of the existing single family residence in order to accommodate the aforementioned construction. Following is a tentative schedule for completion of thc project.

Wynn, City Clerk DATE: AUGUST 15, 1994 NO. 12 8-15-94 Inter-Com TO: FROM: SUBJECT: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION REGIONAL BICYCLE/EQUESTRIAN TRAILS - TUSTIN RAiqCH ARF~ RECOMMENDATION Receive and file. FISCAL IMPACT It is estimated that the proposed fencing/railing will cost approximately $700.00 - $800.00. This amount can be funded from within the proposed 1994-95 Public Works Department Operating Budget.' BACKGROUND As a part of the Tustin Ranch Development, a regional Equestrian and Bicycle Trail was planned for the area between the Peter's Canyon Wash Bridge at Jamboree Road and the Lower Peter's Canyon Regional Park at the end of the Peter's Canyon Road cul-de-sac. This trail is to be constructed in two phases. The first phase has been completed and.is located along the westerly side of Jamboree Road and the southerly side of Portola Parkway. The second phase is scheduled to commence construction in the Fall of 1994 and will be located along the westerly side of Tustin Ranch Road northerly of Portola Parkway and the westerly side of Pioneer Way and the westerly edge of the proposed park and school site to Lower Peter's Canyon Road. The construction of Phase I Trails resulted in a termination of both trails approximately 300 lineal feet northerly of the Jamboree Road Bridge. The trails are planned to extend under the bridge within Peter's Canyon Wash and then continue southeasterly through the Irvine Company property located in unincorporated territory of the County of Orange. The bicycle trail was initially barricaded approximately 1000 feet southerly of Champion Way for t ..... ~- : .... ~ -~ ~y reasons ana ~=u~nu~y ~ was barricaded at the Champion Way intersection more as a convenience to the users, with all bicycle/pedestrian users being directed to the on-street bike lane and sidewalk areas of Jamboree Road. DISCUSSION Staff was requested to re-evaluate the closed area of the trail and determine if another solution would be appropriate. It was determined that the barricades at both locations could be removed., but it is recommended that some type of fence and/or railing be installed in back of the curb and gutter and extend approximately 12-15 feet beyond each join point of where the off-street biketrail joins the Jamboree Road sidewalk. This fencing/railing will preclude cyclist, skate boarders or roller bladers from directly entering the travelway of southbound Jamboree Road at the location where the trail joins the Jamboree sidewalk. The fencing/railing installation and removal of the two barricades will be completed by mid-September 1994.
