Streets and Transportation ST-01 Traffic & Transportation Master Plan - FUTURE YEAR Estimated Cost (Thousands of Dollars) $ 200 (Thousand of Dollars) (Thousands of Dollars) $ 200 $ - The Traffic & Transportation Master Plan will use the goals outlined in the City s General Plan to identify specific projects and programs that will address transportation needs and objectives related to efficiency and safety. The Master Plan will include strategies to address issues such as traffic calming in residential zones, parking, sidewalks, signage, bicycle and non-motorized transportation, intersection management, regional vs. local needs, circulation through the Ravenswood Business District and circulation along major corridors. Portions of the Master Plan have already been completed, including a Pavement Management Program. Additional studies and programs are needed to complete a comprehensive Master Plan that will address all of the City s transportation needs. This is the critical project within the Streets and Transportation category.

Streets and Transportation ST-03 Safe Routes to School - Cycle 3 - IN PROGRESS Estimated Cost (Thousands of Dollars) $ 580 (Thousand of Dollars) $ 580 (Thousands of Dollars) $ - The Safe Routes to School Program involves the construction of new sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and traffic calming improvements on City streets which link to schools. Ravenswood City School District staff worked with City staff to prioritize the streets most in need of pedestrian-friendly improvements to safely access the schools. Based on this prioritization, the Safe Route to School Plan was developed and approved by the Public Works and Transportation Committee and adopted by the City Council in 2003. Cycle 3 of the Safe Routes to School Program was funded through the Federal Highway Administration s Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Grant program. The improvements (including new sidewalks, curbs and gutters and LED in-pavement crosswalk lights) will be constructed on Fordham Street, between Notre Dame Avenue and Purdue Avenue, Bay Road, between Newbridge Street and University Avenue, and Pulgas Avenue/Runnymede Street, between O'Connor Street and Myrtle Street. The improvements will serve children walking/bicycling to Costaño Elementary School, Cesar Chavez Academy, Aspire East Palo Alto Charter School and Eastside Preparatory. This project furthers General Plan Circulation Goal 2.0, to provide a system of local roadways that meets community needs. Implementation of this project would enhance the ability of pedestrians to access schools in a safe manner. This project is in progress, funded by an appropriation from a previous year. No additional funding needs are anticipated for this project to be completed. Budget Request Funds Page 6
Streets and Transportation ST-04A Street Light Upgrade Project - Neighborhood Requests for LED Lights - IN PROGRESS Estimated Cost (Thousands of Dollars) $ 133 (Thousand of Dollars) $ 133 (Thousands of Dollars) $ - When the City of East Palo Alto was part of unincorporated San Mateo County, street lights in East Palo Alto were placed using a rural lighting standard. This project will install LED lights at locations selected by neighborhoods. This project will include the installation of additional streetlights to fill gaps at various locations identified by citizens and community groups. Urban standards typically require a maximum spacing between streetlight poles of 200 feet. It is estimated that 50 new streetlights will be needed to meet neighborhood requests. These lights will only be placed where existing PG&E poles and services are available due to cost factors. This project furthers General Plan Circulation Goal 2.0, to provide a system of local road ways that meets community needs. Implementation of this project will increase visibility along the City s sidewalks and streets and would enhance the ability of residents to travel through the City in a safe and efficient manner. Work on this project began in FY 2014-15. An additional $100,000 was appropriated in FY 15-16 to fund additional street light installations. Staff anticipates that work will be completed with no further appropriations. Budget Request Funds Page 7
Streets and Transportation ST-04B Street Light Upgrade Project - Phase III - IN PROGRESS Estimated Cost (Thousands of Dollars) $ 325 (Thousand of Dollars) $ 100 (Thousands of Dollars) $ 225 When the City of East Palo Alto was part of unincorporated San Mateo County, street lights in the East Palo Alto were placed using a rural lighting standard. The upgrade to urban standards will include a luminosity study to determine the gaps in lightin,g and the installation of additional streetlights to fill gaps at various city streets. Urban standards typically require a maximum spacing between streetlight poles of 200 feet. It is estimated that 300 new streetlights will be needed to upgrade the lighting in all parts of the City from a rural to urban standard. This project furthers General Plan Circulation Goal 2.0, to provide a system of local road ways that meets community needs. Implementation of this project would increase visibility along the City s sidewalks and streets and would enhance the ability of residents to travel through the City in a safe and efficient manner. The City Council appropriated $100,000 to this project from Lighting District Funds in FY 2015-16. An additional $225,000 is needed to complete the installation of new streetlights.
