CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval:
Item to be presented by: Christo h 'ce
DATE: January 14, 2003
SUBJECT: GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD INTERIM IMPROVEMENTS,
PROJECT NO. C3002 — EXECUTE CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize the execution of the Construction and Maintenance Agreement with
the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SORRA) and allow the expenditure of
$398,341.00 from Account No. C3002455 to the SCRRA for the railroad work (see
Exhibit "A" for cost breakdown); and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all
documents, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
This project will widen the intersections of Ruether Avenue at Soledad Canyon Road and
Golden Triangle Road by adding traffic lanes, and installing curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
The City has obtained approval from the SORRA, Metropolitan Transportation Authority,
and California Public Utilities Commission to construct the proposed improvements at the
grade crossing of Ruether Avenue with Golden Triangle Road and Soledad Canyon Road.
The proposed improvements consist of one additional lane northbound and southbound, and
new curb, gutter, and sidewalk. By adding one additional lane southbound, truck traffic
will be able to turn right onto Ruether Avenue from Soledad Canyon Road, which currently
is prohibited. An acceleration lane will also be constructed on Soledad Canyon Road to
improve the flow of traffic coming from Ruether Avenue. The existing cross gutter will be
removed and a catch basin will be constructed. These improvements will greatly improve
the traffic flow through this intersection (see Exhibit 'B" for existing and proposed
improvements).
The City proposes to widen this strategic intersection at existing at -grade railroad crossings
to mitigate traffic flow in anticipation of the Santa Clarita Business Park development and
Golden Valley Road. The intent is to construct additional lanes of traffic to increase the
level of service to these areas. The proposed improvements will enhance pedestrian safety,
and improve traffic conditions in the area.
