DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC STUDY - GRA.DE SEPARA.TION Traffic Engineer Hamilton reviewed the progress report for January- February, 1974 prepared by Clair Hill & Associates re the Downtowrn Traffic and Safety Needs Analysis . Mr. Hamilton reported that Phases 1 and 2 (Project Identification and Data Collection) are virtually complete; / / J� however, there have been problems with Phase 3 (Develop Computed (Q Traffic Model), since the RATS (Redding A.rea Transportation Study) information received from the Department of Transportation was incom- plete and incompatable with current computer technique , the project has been delayed approximately three months while updating the RATS infor- mati on. While there is as yet no analysis of traffic needs, work has progressed towards evaluating several possible railroad grade separation locations . An overcrossing at Placer Street or South Street would cost in the neighborhood of $4, 000 , 000 and would have to go over California Street to be practical. The City's share, where an existing grade cros sing is eliminated, would be 10% or $400, 000 . An overcros sing at Gold or Lincoln would probably be lower in total cost, and could mee� California Street at grade; however, the City's share would be. 50%, and probably well over $1 ,000, 000 . In order to be considered for funding in fiscal 74-75 , the City would have to apply to the PUC for inclusion in their priority list by March 8, 1974. Mr. Hamilton said the City is not in a position at this time to make such an appli cation. APPOINTMENT - Manpower Advisory Board Mayor Moty declared this matter an urgency item.
