CityCouncil | 2006-01-03 | 4 | finish the Park Street project. The Public Works Director responded that the grant should finish the segment from Webb Avenue to Lincoln Avenue; joint trenching has been done. continuing down to least Alameda Avenue would be ideal. Councilmember deHaan inquired what was the projected budget for continuing the work. The Public Works Director responded that the project is going through the Community Improvement Project process; the limits of the $700,000 grant would be reviewed along with additional contributions from City funds. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the same type of trenching would be needed for the block south of Central Avenue, to which the Public Works Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the lights could be installed without trenching, to which the Public Works Director responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan stated the Webster Street project involved five blocks for a cost of approximately $2 million; the Park Street project involved two blocks for about the same amount of money; inquired how the Park Street project was different. The Public Works Director responded that Park Street has private basements extending into the public right-of-way; Webster Street does not have basements under the sidewalks the work on Park Street was more expensive because trenching needed to be done under the streets for utilities; Park Street was also completely resurfaced from curb to curb. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether CalTrans money was available for the resurfacing on Webster Street. The Public Works Director responded that Webster Street was resurfaced by CalTrans three years ago and did not need to be resurfaced: PSBA wanted to have flush transit plazas, which are more expensive; complex drainage issues also increased costs. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether the same problems could occur with the remainder of the Park Street project. The Public Works Director responded the same problems could occur if underground basements are in the extended phase.
