BACKGROUND:
The Mirada Road Pedestrian Bridge Replacement & Bank Stabilization Project (“Project”) is located along Mirada Road in an unincorporated community of Miramar and in the City of Half Moon Bay, within San Mateo County, approximately 0.15 miles west of State Route 1. On July 20, 2020, the Bridge was closed.
The Department of Public Works has completed the design to replace the steel deteriorating pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Arroyo de en Medio in its current location and reinforce the banks adjacent to the bridge. The Project includes removing the existing pedestrian bridge, strengthening the banks below the bridge and installing a new bridge. The new bridge will be manufactured from aluminum to help withstand the harsh marine environment.
DISCUSSION:
The Project area extends along the bluff below Mirada Road, from Medio Avenue to the Mirada Road cul-de-sac south of the existing pedestrian bridge. The Project will retain the current alignment of the pedestrian/bicycle bridge and trail. Temporary and permanent real property interests are required for the Project.
Permanent bank stabilization and subsurface easements, and temporary construction easements required from property owners include: 2 Mirada Road (APN: 048-051-090) and 445 Mirada Road (APN: 048-015-080). The easements are required for the construction of the bank stabilization with the soil nail walls and tieback anchors within these properties, and allow the contractor to mobilize and complete the improvements before the 2022 construction window closes.
Permanent subsurface easements required from property owners include: 1 Mirada Road (APNs: 048-015-190 & 048-015-090), and 407 Mirada Road (APN: 048-015-010). The easements are required for the construction of soil nail walls and tieback anchors within these properties.
County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution and agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Project is financed by General Funds that have been allocated for this work. The cost of acquiring the necessary properties is included in the approved Project budget.
