C. I, D. - j _ ' � AWARD OF BID - Culvert under A.•C. I. D, Canal Schedule #142 The Director of Public Works advis�ed it would be to the advantage of the City to secure permit for the crossing rather than have the contractor secure it, inasmuch as the Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District would require at least a $50, 000 bond for two years, which would aznaunt to an additional cost of approximately $l, 000 for the job and this bond would not be required if the City secured the permit, � Particular attention was called to It�em #7 of the Encroachment Agreement, calling for $500. 00 a day penalty for each calendar day between March 1, 1959 and completion date, and the necessity of adding into City's contract with the contractor that contractor will abide by the $500. 00 a day penalty as if he secured permit himself. (City's plans and specifications call for a $50. 00 a day penalty) The City Attorney advised that Item #8 of the Encroachment Agreement states �3� that City may be required to lower the double-box culvert at some future date, if the A. G. I.D. finds it necessary to enlarge'or deepen the canal, however•: it was a very rem�te po'ssibility that this would ever have to be done. The Director of Public Works submitted a tabul•ation of bids received for the Reinforced Concrete Double Box Culv.ert, Schedule #142, and recommended that bid be awarded to low bidder, J. H. Trisdale, Inc. , under the condition that coritractor will accept the $500. OO a day penalty clause, Item #7, of the Encroachment Agreexrierit.

Miles, District Engineer, State Division of Highways, advised. that further con- . sideration and review had been made of the access improvement study�filed by consulting traffic engineer D. Jackson Faustman of the. area bounded by Cypress, Market and C:rrange Streets and�the Sacramento R.iver. A portion of Mr.. Miles' letter follows: � � _ "In this review we have carefully considered the information developed during the several discussions and meetings in connection with the subject, as well as. IVlr. Faustman's repoert. I would like to first di.scus�s the conculusions drawn by Mr. Faustman. � _ _ � . � , . _ _ �, _. Conclusion No. 1 � � _ Analysis of r_e�ported accidents indicates there has not been an increase : _ in accidents as a result of the closure at Parkview Avenue The accident data further shows that since the closure at Parkview Avenue '... : no accidents have been reported at any of the entrances to this district ' invol�ying the. type of movement that could have been.previously accom- plished by means of a left turn into Parkview Avenue. A� study of the traffic volumes indicates that most of the maneuvers of,this;ty,pe,,;are _ R." _ now being accomplishecl by means of the signalized channelization .at Cypress Street Conclusion No. 2 , The capacity of the access streets to the study area is sufficient to handle the peak �raffic volum�s which can be expected under any of the anticipated �f'� land use schemes. This conclusion is based on the assumption that the origin of vehicles arriving for a major everit at the auditorium will be such that there will not be an unusual concentration of vehicl�s at one � access point. The report tabulates a total of 7, 438 vehicles. daily entering or leaving the study area, with the.traffic distributed on six streets. A possible increase of about 50 per cent is indicated for the future�e The largest volume, re- presenting 26 per cent of the total, .is using Akard Street, and Angelo Avenue ranks second with 22 per cent of the traffic, Grape Street and Parkview Avenue each are carrying 15 per cent, or a combined total�of 30 per cent. It should be noted that most of the traffic on Grape Street is inbound, while most of the traffic on Parkview Avenue is outbound. Thus these two streets are functio�in� as �a _co let and are in c�rr�bination providing an important measure o se vice in t�eir present con ition. � Conclusion�No. 3 The closure<. of the opening at Parkview Avenue causes those drivers with destinations south on U, S, 99 to take a more circuitous or hazardous� • route..; It is further concluded that the closure requires that formex users . . : , .��.. of, the Parkview.Avenu;e arterial with destinations south on U. S; 99 to use. _ residential streets in��the study area or Angelo..Avenue .to gain_access .to Market Street. E � 231 Vehicles with a destinatio-� to the east of Grape Street, which represents over 80 per cent of the stady area, are not required to take a more cir- cuitous route under the present pattern, Vehicles with a destination to the west of Grape Street are required to travel a short additional distance, which in most cases would amount to two blocks on a round trip. This does not involve:-any more circuity of travel than for rr�any of the trips in the central district of Redding since the oner-way couplet was placed inta operation. Insofar as hazards are concerned, with the availability of the sigrxalized channelization at Cypress Street after completion of several of the minor improvements recommended by Mr, Faustman, the present routes of :acee;s:s through the study area should be substantially safer than the previous condition, . The second obseration of this item relative to the southbound movement on US 99 from the Parkview Avenue area was not emphasized at previous dis- cussions. The maximum improvement from the standpoint of safety and , conv�nience for this traffic movement could be accomplished by making a signalized intersection available for them which could be achieved, for example, through the installation of signals at Angelo Avenue and South M:arket Streets. , . Conclusion No. 4 There are no statistics to substantiate that the loss of business in the area i s due to the clo sur e. . A.rz �conomic survey of.business conditions confirmed this conclusion, as we found that the trend in the Parkview area during the latter part of 1958 was similar to the trend experienced by the same types of business in other parts of Redding. We are in agreement with a number of the recommendations in Mr. Faustman's report. We believe for maximum benefit from a standpoint of safety and ' convenience, and keeping in mind the tixne and cost factors rec�uired to implement the recommendations, that it would be desirable to establish a priority that differs from the sequence in which the recommendations are listed, , The first priority should be assigned to Recommendations 3 and 6, which read: 3, Increase the curb radii at the intersections of Grape Street and Akard Street with Cypress Street. Future improvements should include left xurn slots in the Cypress 5treet median at these two intersections. 6. Immediate consideration be given to improving the sight distance at the intersection of Grape Street and Cypress Street by a modification of the Tiger Field fence on the southwest corner. . � The Division of Hi�;hways will include left turn slots on Cypress Street at the intersection with Akard Street on our plans for the additional 4-laning of Cypress Street, including the Sacraxnento River crossing. We will a1sQ � � study the possible need for left turn slots at other intersections oni.`•tlii�s street. The increase in the curb radii at intersections.of Grape Street and _ Akard Street with Cypress Street is an obligation of the City. The second priority should be assigned to Item 2: 2. Install curb and gutters on the remainder of Angelo Avenue so that the intersection of this street with Market Street will be clearly defined and parking will •be more orderly. If the City proce'eds�w'ith'the improvement of Angelo Avenue, any cl�arinel- ization required to define the entrance with Market Str'eet will��be ,unde"rtaken by�the`Division of'Highways�. - � ' � 232 - The third priority should be assigned to Item 4: 4. Install traffic-actuated signals at Galifornia Street. ; At such time when it is mutually agreed that traffic signals are essential at this irntersection, we will initiate action on a cooperative agreement coveri�rig their installation, in conformance with our policy which calls for a 50-50 share of the cost. It is my .studied opinion that if the foregoing recommendations are carried . out, safe and adequate a,ccess can be had to the study area without any � further change at the intersection of Parkview Avenue and Market Street at this time. I am in agreement of course with the further recommenclations that the future need for other improvements as outlined in the report should be examined froxn time to time in the light of the then existing conditions. " Mr, Miles, speaking from the floor, briefed the conclusions of Mr, Faustman's report, and stated it was his opinion the report had only listed a number of things that should be done, but not in the order of their p�riority. Mr. Gene Franck, Gene's Servicenter, stated it was important�to know the flow of traffic before Parkview Avenue was closed; that conclusions based on the flow of traffic since Parkview Avenue was closed was not a true picture, Mr. Bob Miller, Parkview Laundromat, stated that three •business men had filed with Mre Faustman reports howing decline of business, and that one company had submitted a percentage-wise report showing decl':ine in business ove'r the previous year. ' Mayor Fleharty advised that City Council had secured the services of an engineer- ing firm for this traffic survey, and had been encouraged in the hiring of an outside engineering firm by the State Division of Highways; that Mr. Faustman was a capable and competent engineer and it appeared the State agreed with that portion of the report that does not affect them, and tossed out recommendations that did affect them. � MOTION: Made by Councilman Puryear, s:econded by Councilman Fulkerth that City Council direct the City Manager to forward Mr. Faustman's report to the appropriate officials of the State Department of Public Works, with the request that necessary steps be taken to further the reopening of Parkview Avenue� at Highway 99 South. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes. MOTION: Made by Councilman Kelly, seconded by Gouncilman Puryear that Council had discussed and�were willing to participate in costs of the reop"ening of Parkview Avenue, and the State be so informed. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes. Councilmen wer.e in accord that Mr. Faustman's report was considered a "package" deal, and all, or a goodly portion of �he recommendations,would be done. Mayor Fleharty commended Mr. Bob Miller as "very able and willing to serve the merchants of the Parkview area," and hoped he would continue in public service to " the benefit of the City�of Redding. Mr. Miller thanked the Mayor for the compliment and expressed; on behalf of the people of the area �heir ''appreciation of the fact that City is so cognizant of traffic troubles we have from time to time. " There being no further business, on motion of Councilman Simons, seconded by Councilman Fulkerth the meeting was adjourned. - � ~, .__. , APPROVED/ �_ � /- � `\ i .�'� � C.�-�Gl��-,j Attest: ; ' l�ltayor �--�, � ;J��-��.� C`-�'_� . � ���� �� City Clerk
