Title

State Street Widening Project

Description

The County has designed the proposed Project to conform with the General Plan Transportation & Mobility Element Policy Maps. The roadway ultimate classification is that of a Major Highway – SBC Std. Plan 101, four lane highway with intersections at grade and control access. In order to minimize right-of- way take and encroachment into typical residential structure setback requirements, as well as to address current and projected emerging mobility needs, proposed work involves widening of the roadway west of its existing centerline to accommodate improvements for approximately 0.61 miles on State Street from Adams Street to Darby Street. The interim geometric section and improvements posed west of the centerline affords the inclusion of a 12-foot median that obliges left turn movement at intersections and midblock access to individual parcels, a 12-foot through travel lane - southbound, an eight-foot shoulder to accommodate on-street parking and refuse pickup, and a five-foot parkway to accommodate sidewalk and driveway approaches. Provisions for the inclusion of ADA compliant curb ramps, curb and gutter and street lighting are also addressed. Existing improvements easterly of the centerline for the interim condition will remain largely as is. Anticipated maximum excavation depth for most work is 18-inches. Streetlights are to be installed within the Project limits that lie within CSA 70 SL-5. Placement/work should be coordinated with Special Districts/Streetlights and complement existing lighting present with mid-block locations alternating, where feasible, from one side of the street to the other. Standard spacing for residential streetlighting is 200-feet on-center. Street lighting placed on the easterly side of State Street should match that currently present utilizing existing power poles. The maximum excavation depth for this work will be 48”. The Project is currently scheduled for construction in 2027.
