. B. Penick and Sons, Inc. was awarded the contract for the
onstruction of the Third Avenue street improvements between
E" Street and "F" Street. The work requires that the
xisting improvements in the intersection of Davidson Street
e removed and reconstructed with decorative concrete
rosswalks, curb returns and asphalt concrete pavement. The
ontract requires that the curbs and sidewalks be constructed
n one side of Third Avenue before commencing work on the
they side. The contractor proposes to close Davidson Street
rom the alley east of Third Avenue to the alley west of
bird Avenue and construct the crosswalks in the intersection
f Davidson Street at one time. He requests the closing of
avid son Street for a period of three weeks between May 29,
979, and June 18, 1979. The actual work will take eight
orking days with the expectation that Davidson Street may be
eopened within two weeks by June 11, 1979. The contractor
as agreed to provide approximately 52 parking spaces on the
ast side of Third Avenue between "E" to "F" Streets during

otal of 117 parking spaces on Third Avenue during the

FOR MEETING OF 5/22/79
staff's recommendation is tp allow the one time closure of
)avidson Street on both sides of Third Avenue at the same
:ime so that the contractor can complete the construction of
:he intersection with one move-in. This alternative will be
:he least disruptive to the businesses along Third Avenue and
:o traffic. The impact to parking will be minimized by
>roviding approximately 52 Spaces along the east side of
'hind Avenue during closure. Access to the parking lots will
>e provided via the alleys ',from "E" and "F" Streets; and
)avidson Street from Landis and Church.
avidson Street is extremely narrow -- 24.5' and 25' curb to
urb. It is impractical to provide through traffic from
avidson to Third Avenue anti attempt to construct the cross
alks and curb return areas at the same time. Two way
raffic cannot be maintained on Davidson Street during the
eriod of constructing the curb returns, segments and
rosswalks in the intersection. To attempt to provide one
ay traffic from Third Avenue during construction would be
ifficult, confusing and potentially hazardous to the driving
ublic. In my opinion, keeping Davidson Street open to
raffic is not worth the risk and liability, and would extend
he time required to construct the intersection improvements
o six weeks because of the several move-ins that would be
equired.
