Authorization to advertise for bids on Soledad
Canyon Road landscaping improvements
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
BACKGROUND
In the Capital Projects budget for 1989-90 $300,000 has been designated for
street median landscape improvements. The targeted area is Soledad Canyon Road,
beginning at Bouquet Junction and going eastward. This fiscal year it is
expected that the second and third medians (looking east) will be landscaped.
The first median is too. narrow for landscaping. In future years the remaining
medians will be landscaped as funds permit.
In addition to landscaping medians, the side panels on both sides of the road
will be planted with street trees, which will be irrigated with a drip
irrigation system. The side panel improvements will extend about two miles from
Bouquet Junction eastward. An $18,865 California Department of Forestry Grant
will be used as a supplement to this project.- The Parks and Recreation
Commission has reviewed and approved the landscape theme and selection of plant
materials. If funds permit, it is hoped that river rock hardscape will be used
to compliment both the landscape materials and the nearby Santa Clara River
system.
Renderings of the median landscaping themes will be posted in the City Council
Chambers for the Council to view prior to the meeting. Alternative #3 is the
preferred design concept based on staff and Parks and Recreation Commission
review..
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to advertise for bids on this project.
