CITY OF SAN BERNAARD►INO - REQUEST Ff►R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The intersection of the Kendall Drive Frontage Road and
Little Mountain Drive has been a source of concern for many
years . Signs have been posted to prohibit left turns from Little
Mountain Drive, but many motorists still make this move.
A meeting with the adjoining businesses was convened by
Councilman Devlin on 7-28-94 . It was recommended by the City
Traffic Engineer that the frontage road intersection with Little
'Mountain Drive be closed, in order to alleviate concerns over
traffic problems . However, those present were not in agreement.
The representatives did agree to the construction of a curbed
island in Little Mountain Drive to preclude left turns into the
frontage road, provided that two driveway approaches were in-
stalled along Kendall Drive.
A temporary median will be installed, after the driveway
approaches are available for use, in order to evaluate the impact
on the businesses . If no adverse impacts are noted, a permanent
curbed island will be installed.
Plans have been prepared for the installation of these
two driveway approaches , and completing the paving in the alley.
The paving - for the alley is being completed, since more vehicles
will be making left turns into the alley, due to the median in
Little Mountain Drive.
Below is an estimate of the total project cost:
Construction Contract $ 20 , 517
Contingencies (10%) ± 1 , 983
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $ 22 , 500
All, costs incurred for this project will be charged to
Account No. 250-670-57477 .
We recommend that the plans be approved and authorization
granted to advertise for bids .
URGENCY CLAUSE:
Installation of these driveway approaches will allow the median
to be provided in Little Mountain Drive to preclude left turns
into the frontage road. These improvements will reduce
complaints and the City' s exposure to liability.
