SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION
TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS FOR THE Al TADENA DRIVE / PASADENA
AVENUE PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENT PROJECT (CIP NO. 4063)
SUMMARY
The plans and specifications for the Altadena Drive/Pasadena Avenue Pedestrian Enhancements
Project (CIP No. 4063) have been prepared and the project is now ready to be bid. This project
provides for the installation of an in-pavement lighted crosswalk system and curb bump-outs at the
Altadena Drive/Pasadena Avenue intersection.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 05-08, approving the plans and
specifications for the Altadena Drive/Pasadena Avenue Pedestrian Enhancements Project (CIP No.
4063), and authorizing and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The FY 2004-2005 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget provides $122,000 for the
construction of the Altadena Drive/Pasadena Avenue Pedestrian Enhancements Project (CIP No.
4063). Funding for construction is comprised of Measure "M" Turnback funds in the amount of
$48,200, and a Caltrans Safe Routes to School Grant in the amount of $73,800. The Engineer's
construction cost estimate to complete this work is $157,000. Upon receipt of construction bids, it will
then be determined what the level of additional funding should be. CDBG Funds are in the process of
being made available for this project to supplement the current budget.
BACKGROUND
The proposed project involves the installation of flashing lights within the pavement at an existing
school crosswalk across the north leg of Pasadena Avenue at Altadena Drive. The proposed flashing
lights will be activated by pedestrians and serve to provide additional warning to drivers that a
pedestrian is using the crosswalk. This lighting technology is being applied by various cities
throughout the country and is intended to provide benefits for pedestrians under both daytime and
nighttime conditions.
In an effort to increase pedestrian safety, curb extensions (bump-outs) will be constructed at the
corners of the intersection in conjunction with flashing lights. These extensions will shorten the
distance pedestrians will be required to travel across Pasadena Avenue. The project also includes
the modification of curb ramps to meet requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA).
