Executive Summary:
As part of the Fiscal Year the 2022/2023 budget the Board of Supervisors approved the Community Infrastructure Project Fund with $2 million per district to be used for infrastructure improvements.
In September 2023, the Board approved the fifth district to grant the City of Sebastopol funding for crosswalk enhancements at Taft Street and Sunset Avenue, for an amount not to exceed $200,000.
The City of Sebastopol submitted a request for reimbursement in the amount of $164,903.77 for the project at Taft Street and Sunset Avenue.
This board action will allow the County Executive to execute an amendment to the grant funding agreement with the City of Sebastopol to extend the term to December 31, 2024, to complete the processing of all payments.
Discussion:
Crosswalk enhancements in the area near Analy High School in the City of Sebastopol, has been identified as a high priority for the safety of students and the public. W‐Trans prepared a Safe Routes to School Engineering Evaluation in April 2019, in which safety improvements to the existing crosswalk were recommended as follows:
Identified Need/Observation ‐ There is an existing high visibility school‐zoned crosswalk that runs diagonally at the intersection of Taft St/Sunset Ave. The crosswalk leads into the gated roadway onto campus. Diagonal crosswalks are non‐standard.
Recommended Improvement ‐ The diagonal crosswalk provides the best pedestrian sight distance conditions for drivers approaching the intersection. Suggest that the City install appropriate pedestrian crossing signage, advance yield markings (shark’s teeth) and possibly a Rapid Flashing Beacon to aid pedestrians in crossing the street.
The project has been completed and the City of Sebastopol submitted a request for reimbursement in the amount of $164,903.77 for the project at Taft Street and Sunset Avenue. However, in order to ensure processing of all payments within the term of the funding agreement, it is necessary to extend the term to December 31, 2024.
