SUBJECT: WILEY CANYON ROAD REALIGNMENT - PROJECT NO. S2020
ROADWAY ALIGNMENT APPROVAL
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
The realignment of Wiley Canyon Road from Lyons Avenue to Calgrove Boulevard has been
identified in the City's General Plan. The City developed three interim roadway alignment
alternatives and presented them to the public in three public meetings, as well as to the City
Council during a bus tour on July 14, 1997.
After evaluating all three alternatives from the standpoint of good engineering principles and
comments from the public and City Council, staff is recommending roadway alignment
Alternative No. 2, which has been revised to include extending the project limits to Fourl Road.
This alternative will include construction of two travel lanes using an eastern portion of right-
of-way; curb, gutter and a seven -foot sidewalk on the east side (extra wide for school children);
a five-foot paved shoulder lane next to the curb for bicycle use; an asphalt walk area on the west
side from Powell Street to Wabuska Road; and improving the existing slope condition.
City staff is anticipating using this design for a future ultimate alignment by using these two
lanes east of the channel for future northbound lanes and constructing two new southbound
lanes on the west side of the channel to connect Wiley Canyon Road north of the Athletic Club.
This should reduce the cost of the ultimate alignment for the road, land acquisition, and bridge
by up to 50 percent. The ultimate alignment will also accommodate a future bike trail, which
will probably cross the new road near the flood control channel and continue along the road
west of the channel.
An amount of $1,029,555 has been budgeted in Account Nos. 52020204, 52020201, and
52020205 for this project. The new cost estimate for the project is $1,479,555. The $450,000
increase is due to extending the limits of the project up to Fourl Road and the additional road
widening, grading, and a retaining wall necessary to accommodate the seven -foot sidewalk on
the east side of the road for the safety of children.
