CityCouncil | 2010-07-27 | 16 | Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the North Pump Station would fix the lake that occurs next to the Tube every time there is a little rain. The City Engineer responded last year, water started backing up from the Pump Station throughout the entire West End; stated the lake next to the Tube is more localized; a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) could be done and would cost approximately $125,000; water hits the hump and never gets to the inlet; grinding down the hump would not provide needed elevation to have a flow line; the whole area would need to be ground out and the grade would need to be reestablish to match the inlet. Councilmember Matarrese stated there are no curbs on Grand Street between Buena Vista Avenue, Eagle Avenue, and Clement Street; that he noticed a commercial truck pulled up to the dirt where a sidewalk and curb should be; oil was spilling out of the bottom of the truck; inquired whether there are plans to have curbs and gutters throughout the City. The City Engineer responded development is conditioned to include curbs, landscape strips, and sidewalks for new construction; stated gutters and curbs are part of the resurfacing program. Councilmember Matarrese stated the site he is referencing seems as though there has never been a curb; inquired whether the issue would be addressed. The City Engineer responded curbs would be put in as the project comes forward through entitlement or resurfacing. The Public Works Director stated the site that Council Matarrese is referencing was Beltline property now owned by the City; perhaps some of the lease revenue could be put into capital improvement projects as part of the asset management process. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether the City handles ponding on Otis Drive. The City Engineer responded the matter would need to be sent to CalTrans; stated the City does not work on any State highway segments. Vice Mayor deHaan stated staff needs to notify CalTrans, particularly regarding the situation above Broadway; that he is concerned about not having funding available for trees along Appezzato Parkway; inquired how the matter would be addressed. The Public Works Director responded the City has two types of capital improvement projects; stated the City Engineer addressed the traditional capital improvement program, which includes extending the life of a public infrastructure; the other type is annual capital improvement projects, which tend to be maintenance functions; street tree planning falls under annual capital improvement projects; funds would be increased Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Reuse 16 and Redevelopment Authority, and Community Improvement Commission July 27, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-07-27.pdf |
