BACKGROUND:
On August 19, 1997, your Board adopted Resolution Nos. 061312 and 061313, which established minimum road standard options and a priority list for road improvements in the West Menlo Park area.
On May 18, 1999, your Board adopted Resolution No. 062821, which adopted procedures to be used by the Department to determine if property owners want minimum road improvements constructed on a specific street and the minimum road standard to be used in the design of the road improvements.
On January 7, 2003, your Board adopted Resolution Nos. 065763 and 065764, which revised the type of curbing to be used in conjunction with minimum road standards in the West Menlo Park area and revised the procedures for determining minimum road standard options, respectively.
DISCUSSION:
Croner Avenue from Orange Avenue to the City of Menlo Park limit near North Lemon Avenue is the next street on the West Menlo Park area road improvement priority list. The Department surveyed all property owners along the street to determine if they were in favor of road improvements and if so, which minimum road standard design to use for the road improvements. The road standard to be used (two 9-foot wide travel lanes with 3-foot wide valley gutters on each side of the road) for this project is based on the results of the property owner surveys.
The West Bay Sanitary District has requested that work involving affected sanitary sewer facilities be performed in conjunction with this project. The plans and specifications for the work have now been prepared and staff is recommending that your Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
Approval of this action will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Livable Community by improving our roads for use by the traveling public to support livable connected communities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated construction cost of the Project is $375,000. The project will be financed as follows:

Rehabilitation Account (SB1) funds $ 372,000
West Bay Sanitary District* $ 3,000
Total Estimated Cost $ 375,000

Reimbursement for the cost of doing work for the West Bay Sanitary District (District) will be through an agreement with the District.
