Item 16
Meeting Date 2/4/86
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /a/3 Co Approving the project for construction
of double left-turn lanes at I-805 and Bonita Road and
appropriating funds therefor
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer t
REVIEWED BY: City Manager (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
In response to a staff report concerning the inability of CalTrans to
construct the double left-turn lanes onto southbound I-805 at Bonita Road,
Council directed staff to contact CalTrans and National City to get
participation from National City for this project. Staff has met with
CalTrans and National City staff, and it is proposed that the project will be
constructed by CalTrans with participation from all three agencies.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution appropriating $25,000
from the Traffic Signal Fund for Bonita Road/I-805 signal modifications.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In November, the Director of Public Works and Traffic Engineer met with the
City Engineer of National City and CalTrans staff to discuss this joint
project. It was agreed that even though the project was not within the city
limits of National City, that much of the traffic using this movement
(westbound Bonita Road to southbound I-805) was generated by the traffic using
Plaza Bonita Shopping Center. This gave the National City City Engineer
adequate justification to recommend to their City Council participation with
Chula Vista for this project. They have an item on their agenda today to also
consider this item.
CalTrans proposes to install this project during the 86-87 fiscal year and,
based on the current status of the plans, they may be able to advertise it
prior to July 1 so that construction could begin this summer. Financial
participation will be: CalTrans 50%, Chula Vista 25% and National City 25%.
FISCAL IMPACT: Chula Vista' s cost to install the improvements are estimated
to be $25,000.
