Harrison Elementary Active Transportation Improvements

Project Location: Sanguinetti Lane: Wilson Way to Alpine Avenue, Alpine Avenue: Sanguinetti Lane to Wilson Way, Wilson Way: Alpine Avenue to Sanguinetti Lane, Mistletoe Avenue: Sanguinetti Lane to Wilson Way, E Street: Wilson Way to 130 feet north of Alpine Avenue, Belvedere Avenue: Wilson Way to 150 feet north of Alpine Avenue. See attached Vicinity Map. Project Justification: The residential neighborhood surrounding Harrison Elementary School is a disadvantaged community in northeast Stockton, California. The elementary school opened in 1980, with many of the surrounding residential homes constructed between 1920 & 1950. No sidewalks currently exist on multiple roadways that are part of this project. Alpine Avenue, E Street, and Mistletoe Avenue each provide two travel lanes, one in each direction with on-street parking and no pedestrian facilities. While people do walk along Wilson Way, the high speeds and long distances between crossing opportunities have contributed to multiple collisions along the corridor. The lack of sidewalks within the community is currently a barrier to walking. Pedestrians are forced to travel in the roadway or on uneven dirt shoulders, and there is no provision for those with disabilities to travel comfortably on Alpine Avenue, Wilson Way, or Mistletoe Avenue without being directly in the roadway. Scope of Work: This project will include construction of new sidewalks and buffered bike lanes, as well as enhanced intersections and storm drainage improvements on roads throughout the project area. A breakdown, by roadway, of the preliminary project scope is as follows: Alpine Avenue: • New sidewalks on the north and south sides of the street between Sanguinetti Lane and Wilson Way. • Roadway widening up to 56 feet between Sanguinetti Lane and Wilson Way. • Reconfigure striping to add buffered bike lanes and parking lanes in each direction, between Sanguinetti Lane and Wilson Way. • Add high visibility pedestrian crosswalk markings at Sanguinetti Lane and E Street intersection. • Upgraded ADA curb ramps at the southeast and southwest corners of the Alpine Avenue/Sanguinetti Lane intersection. • Add ADA curb ramps at each corner of the Alpine Avenue/E Street intersection. • Add ADA curb ramps at each corner of the Alpine Avenue/Belvedere Avenue intersection. • Add ADA curb ramps at the northwest corner of the Alpine Avenue/Wilson Way intersection, for each incoming crosswalk. • Update pedestrian crosswalk striping at the Alpine Avenue/Wilson Way intersection to high visibility markings. • Add ADA curb ramps at the two-way and three-way crosswalk medians at the Alpine Avenue/Wilson Way intersection. • Existing storm drain inlet adjustments at sidewalk installations. Sanguinetti Lane: • Add corner curb extensions (bulb-outs) at Mistletoe Avenue intersection, with ADA curb ramps. • Add pedestrian crosswalk [Continental markings] south of Mistletoe Avenue intersection, with center refuge island. Provide curb extensions with ADA ramps and rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) at each end of the crosswalk. • Update pedestrian crosswalk striping at the Sanguinetti Lane/Wilson Way intersection to ladder-style markings. • Add ADA curb ramps to the three-way crosswalk median at the Sanguinetti Lane/Wilson Way intersection. • Add ADA curb ramp at the northwest corner of the Sanguinetti Lane/Wilson Way intersection. Wilson Way: • Add sidewalk to the north side of Wilson Way between Sanguinetti Lane and Alpine Avenue. • Add lighted traffic signal to the Wilson Way/E Street intersection. • Add high visibility pedestrian crosswalk markings to the north, west, and south approaches of the Wilson Way and E Street intersection. • Add ADA curb ramps at the northeast, northwest, and southwest corners of the Wilson Way/E Street intersection. • Add concrete median strips east & west of E Street, to divide Wilson Way traffic. • Add ADA curb ramps at the Belvedere Avenue/Wilson Way intersection. • Existing storm drain inlet adjustments at sidewalk installations. Mistletoe Avenue: • Add sidewalk to the north side of Mistletoe Avenue between Sanguinetti Lane and E Street. • Add sidewalk on the south side of Mistletoe Avenue along Parcel 11905045. • Reconstruct driveway on Parcel 11905003. • Abandon section of Mistletoe Avenue between Wilson Way and E Street. • Add concrete median on the south side of the Wilson Way/Mistletoe Avenue intersection, with ADA curb ramps for pedestrian crossing. • Add storm drain inlets and 12-inch reinforced concrete drain pipe to tie into existing storm drain system. E Street: • Add sidewalk to the west and east side of E St. Add sidewalk to connect and tie in to the existing sidewalk on both side between Alpine Ave and Euclid Ave. • Add sidewalk on the east side of E St along Parcel 11905042. • Add ladder-style pedestrian crosswalk markings on the north approach, and standard pedestrian crosswalk markings on the west side of the Mistletoe Ave/E St intersection. • Add storm drain inlets and 12” reinforced concrete drain pipe to tie into existing storm drain system. Belvedere Ave • Add sidewalk to both the east and west side between Alpine Avenue and Wilson Way. • Add sidewalk to the west side to tie in to the existing sidewalk between Alpine Avenue and Euclid Avenue. Right of way will be required at 8 separate parcels to accommodate for new curb, gutter, and sidewalk installation. Affected parcels are 119-041-010 with 14 square feet (sq. ft.), 119-043-220 with 126 sq. ft., 119-050-050 with 132 sq. ft., 119-050-040 with 18 sq. ft., 117-080-140 with 40 sq. ft., 119-050-420 with 50 sq. ft., 119-050-450 with 72 sq. ft., & 119-041-140 with 84 sq. ft. Environmental Setting: In these portions of the San Joaquin County, land usage is primarily residential with single family homes. There are many large trees adjacent to the project area. Nesting and migratory birds, protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, may nest within these trees. Furthermore, the Swainson’s Hawk, a raptor species of concern within the State of California and listed as threatened may nest adjacent to or within the project area. A pre-construction survey for nesting Swainson’s Hawks and other migratory birds is recommended if construction is scheduled to occur from February 15th to September 1st. Beneficiaries: The public will see increased safety and fewer hazards while utilizing multi-modal facilities, such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes.
