Description:
This project provides pedestrian enhancements to uncontrolled marked crosswalks at the following three intersections: Raymond Avenue at Grandview Street, El Molino Avenue at Buckeye Street, and Euclid Avenue at Glenarm Street. The project is comprised of the design and installation of enhanced pedestrian signage with lights, pedestrian traffic signals, enhanced crosswalk markings, and other pedestrian safety enhancements. The work includes installation of a pedestrian sensor systems, wireless rectangular rapid flashing beacons, standard signal poles, sandblasting, striping, signage, and miscellaneous appurtenant work.
Justification:
This project addresses potential safety hazards for pedestrians attempting to cross at non-signalized or non-stop-controlled crosswalk locations. The project also reduces potential safety risks for pedestrians attempting to cross at uncontrolled marked crosswalks, consistent with the City's Complete Streets vision.
Environmental Analysis:
On December 11, 2023, the City Council found the project to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines in accordance with Title 14, Chapters, Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1, and Section 15303, Class 3. Class 1 consists of minor alterations of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. Class 3 consists of construction of limited number of new, small facilities or structures. There would be no expansion of use of the street network as a result of the project, and therefore, there are no unusual circumstances.
