RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Committee reviews and comments on the Muir Street issues for the FY 2018 and FY 2019 New Sidewalks Project.
End
SUMMARY
The FY 2018 and FY 2019 New Sidewalks Project calls for three locations for new sidewalks: Calhoun Street, corner of Whitesell Street and Depot Road, and Muir Street. Tampa Street is currently under consideration; however, due to an upcoming Weekes Community Park renovation project by the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, it may not be included in this round.
Residents on Muir Street have filed a petition against the project over issues regarding deferred improvement agreements, sidewalk conflicting with existing fences and trees, reduction in parking and travel lane width, keeping non-standard driveways in place, and conflicts with PG&E utility poles. City Staff met with several residents and have agreed on resolutions for most issues; however, some issues remain.
The project budget is $1,565,000. The funding is from Measure BB and Measure B allocations.
