DATE: May 27, 2003
SUBJECT: GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD/SOLEDAD CANYON ROAD INTERCHANGE,
PROJECT NO. S3005 — EXECUTE CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY AND METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and 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 $93,000.00 from
Account No. 53005301 to SCRRA for the railroad work (see Exhibit "A" for cost breakdown); and

BACKGROUND
The City's General Plan Circulation Element identifies the ultimate roadway network for the build out
of the General Plan. This network includes Golden Valley Road. This roadway is also identified in the
Bridge & Thoroughfare (B&T) District and represents an important additional roadway link to improve
travel within the City. The construction of Golden Valley Road calls for the development of an
interchange that bridges Soledad Canyon Road, and will eventually cross the Santa Clara River and
connect to the future Newhall Ranch Road.
The work covered by this Agreement will include preparations to the adjacent signals, and the
necessary time for SCRRA "flagmen" to inspect the City's work in and around the railroad
right-of-way.

The bridge that is being designed for the overcrossing will span Golden Triangle Road, one set of
railroad tracks which fall under MTA jurisdiction, and Soledad Canyon Road. The columns for the
bridge will not be placed directly on the SCRRA/MTA property, but an "airspace" easement will be
necessary to satisfy all legal requirements for the overcrossing. Staff is preparing these further
documents and will return to the City Council as they become ready for implementation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL -IMPACT
Sufficient funds have been budgeted for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 in Account No. 53005301 to cover the
cost.
