SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL INFRASTRUCTURE, PROJECT
T0030 - PROJECT ACCEPTANCE
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. City Council accept the completion of the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure, Project
T0030.
2. Direct the City Clerk to file the attached Notice of Completion.
Direct staff to release the 10 percent retention balance 35 days after the Notice of Completion
is recorded, provided no stop notices have been filed, as provided by law.
BACKGROUND
On May 11, 2010, the City Council awarded a contract to construct the Safe Routes to School
Infrastructure, Project T0030, to R. C. Becker & Son, Inc. Construction began on June 14, 2010.
The project consisted of the construction of physical improvements at crossings near Mitchell
Community School, Rosedell Elementary School, and Peachland Elementary School. The goal of
this project was to enhance student safety by constructing physical improvements that will reduce
the speed of vehicles near school grounds and increase the visibility of school crossings.
Work under this project included widening sidewalks, restriping crosswalks, replacing existing
school signs with oversized fluorescent yellow -green signs, and constructing bulb -outs at
selected school crossings. Bulb -outs are traffic -calming measures that narrow the street by
widening the sidewalk, thereby reducing traffic speeds and shortening the crossing distance.
This project is federally funded under the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program. The
construction contract was completed within budget to the satisfaction of the City Engineer on
August 31, 2010.
The City received the attached emails and letter of support and gratitude from all three affected
schools regarding the project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact created by the approval of the recommended action. Adequate federal
grant funds were budgeted in Expenditure Account T0030229-5161.001. This project was
100 percent funded by the SRTS grant program.

Ken Pulskamp,
What a great surprise it was to hear that Peachland would in fact be getting the
safety improvements we were so hoping for. When Amalia Marreh wrote to inform
us that they were scheduled to begin work in June just after the summer break
begins we were elated.
These improvements will include construction of bulb -outs at the intersection of
Peachland Ave. & Happy Valley Dr., to slow traffic and minimize crossing distance
for the students. They will be upgrading the school signs and stripes on our
crosswalks, widening the sidewalk along the eastside of Peachland Ave and
repairing vthe uplifted idewalks,along streets with'in•'th�e walking route to school.
The construction contract was scheduled to be award by City Council at its meeting
last night. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend in person to thank each of you.
Peachland is a fantastic school and now with your support it will be a safer place to
be. The staff, parents and students salute the City Council for making this
possible.
Sincerely,
4,1"; IAJ'1141� ;
