.CIO OF SAN BERNARDO>> - REQU~T FOR COUNCIL ACOION
STAFF REPORT
A comprehensive Project Report was prepared by Caltrans
for the construction of new westbound on and off ramps to
Waterman Avenue from Route I-IO Freeway. These new ramps will
connect to Hospitality Lane at Carnegie Drive. The existing on-
ramp was to be left in place to accommodate southbound traffic
on Waterman Avenue desiring the Route 1-215 Freeway.
This Project Report was reviewed and approved by
Caltrans Headquarters J.n Sacramento and the Federal Highway
Administration. Boyle Engineering was engaged by the City to
prepare the plans for this project.
When the plans were about 90% complete, they were
submi tted to Cal trans I Safety Committee for review. This com-
mittee had concerns over the concrete railing that would be
installed to channel traffic from the existing on-ramp to Route
I-215. Even with this railing, drivers could transition to the
I-IO Freeway, in violation of the traffic control devices.
The Committee made a determination that the railing
would have to be extended to physically preclude access from the
existing ramp to I-IO Freeway, in the interests of safety. This
extension would entail the additional work of widening the Hunts
Lane Overcrossing. Inclusion of this additional work is
expected to delay the project for at least a year.
Caltrans has suggested that the existing on-ramp be
deleted, in order to avoid delaying the project. Deletion of
this ramp would only inconvenience southbound traffic on
Waterman Avenue desiring to travel on the Route I-215 Freeway.
The opening in the curbed island in Waterman Avenue will be
closed to preclude northbound traffic from turning left to the
existing on-ramp. If this on-ramp is closed, southbound traffic
on Waterman Avenue will have to use the new on-ramp opposite
Carnegie Drive.
Closure of the

URGENCY CLAUSE
A decision must be made to delete the on-ramp or incorporate the
additional work into the project. The project construction
plans are about 95% complete, and no further work can be done
until this decision is made.
