RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO
APPROVE A CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER ON TELEGRAPH CANYON
ROAD PHASE III WIDENING PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A
LANDSCAPED RAISED MEDIAN ACROSS APACHE DRIVE
WHEREAS, the City Council, on June 23, 1992 by a vote of 3-0-2
(Nader/Malcolm absent), directed staff by Resolution 16685 to install a temporary
sign prohibiting vehicles traveling eastbound on Telegraph Canyon Road from
turning left to northbound Apache Drive during the weekday hours of 7:00 a.m. to
9:00 a.m.; and,
WHEREAS, said prohibition is intended to eliminate Southwestern College
students from using Apache Drive as a shortcut with the temporary sign to remain
in place until construction of the Telegraph Canyon Road/Otay Lakes Road project
is completed later this year; and,
WHEREAS, Council further directed staff to explore the feasibility of
constructing a raised median on Telegraph Canyon Road across Apache Drive as a
permanent deterrent against shortcut traffic and as a means of eliminating
hazardous left turn maneuvers; and,
WHEREAS, staff believes that the safety benefits derived by constructing
a modified median across Apache Drive to prevent left turns easterly onto
Telegraph Canyon Road more than offsets the slight out-of-direction inconvenience
to the Charter Point residents; and,
WHEREAS, convenient alternative routes are not available to the residents,
and allowing left turns into Apache Drive will safely accommodate Charter Point
residents, a change order on the Telegraph Canyon Road widening project to
construct a landscaped modified raised median across the intersection of Apache
Drive is appropriate.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby authorize the Director of Public Works to approve a change
order on the Telegraph Canyon Road Phase III, known as document number C092-079A,
a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk, widening project to
construct a modified (Option 2, Cost Items 1 and 2) raised median on Telegraph
Canyon Road through the intersection of Apache Drive to prohibit left-hand turns
east to Telegraph Canyon Road.
