On February 26, 2002, the City Council awarded a contract for the Valley Street/Calgrove
Boulevard Closure Improvements to Tyner Paving Company, Inc. This project implemented two
automatic rolling gates to permanently restrict vehicular access through the project site.
Emergency services vehicles are able to open and close the gates to respond to incidents in the
surrounding area. On several occasions the Fire Department has needed to respond to brush fires
and was able to conveniently utilize the new gates.
This project was completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer on May 30, 2002. It was
finished under budget, but was delayed due to several occurrences of vandalism. The City Council
directed staff to address the vandalism and the possibility of further damage to the newly
constructed closure devices. Staff identified a number of measures to address the concerns,
including assistance from the Sheriffs Department. The Community Interaction Team (CIT)
walked the neighborhoods and discussed the issues with citizens. No further incidents have been
recorded since the Deputy's CIT was activated.

Additional identified steps will be completed within the next month. These include: new roadway
striping to further illustrate the changes in traffic patterns on Calgrove Boulevard; construction
of a new streetlight to brighten the Valley Street cul-de-sac; and the installation of a basic digital
recording camera system. Staff believes that the above measures, combined with ongoing
assistance from the Sheriffs Department, should be sufficient to secure the area.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT

$224,980.00 from the General Fund was allocated in the budget for Fiscal Year 2001/02. The
remaining funds, in an amount of approximately $107,000.00, are available for reallocation to the
