Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Agency, Transportation Division (Transportation) recommends that the Board sign the Acquisition Agreement for Public Purposes for the Sly Park Road at Clear Creek Crossing - Bridge Replacement Project (Project), CIP No. 77115. The fee and easement acquisitions are necessary to facilitate construction of the Project.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The existing bridge was built in 1936 and is now sub-standard in its design given current road usage. Recent inspections also indicate scour problems with the bridge’s footings and abutments. Due to functional obsolescence, rehabilitation of the existing bridge is infeasible. The Project will replace the existing bridge on Sly Park Road at Clear Creek, realign and widen approximately 965 feet of Sly Park Road to provide a two-way left-turn lane to improve safety for vehicles turning onto and off of Clear Creek Road and improve drainage along Sly Park Road.
The Board of Supervisors approved the California Environmental Quality Act document for this project on September 14, 2010 (Item No. 18).
