<br /> F SAN <br /> OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: George Boeker, Director of Public Works <br /> FROM: David Vènhuizen, Environmental Engineer ~\j <br /> SUBJECT: URBAN SYSTEMS PROJECT CANDIDATES <br /> DATE: May 4, 1983 RE: <br /> This memo outlines a number of projects In the City which might be con- <br /> sidered as candidates for Urban Systems funding. I suggest that these <br /> be submitted to the appropriate bodies for consideration, prioritization <br /> and selection for funding request. The projects are presented here in <br /> no particular order of priority. I will not attempt to provide justifi- <br /> cation for each project here. They all address some needed traffic <br /> improvement, and I expect that City Council, the Planning Commission, <br /> etc., are as aware of the general problems in each area as I am. I will <br /> be happy to discuss any or all of these projects and offer my perspectives <br /> if requested to do so. <br /> 1. Restore Guadalupe and LBJ Streets to 2-way traffic. This would <br /> required widening of the Purgatory Creek bridge on Guadalupe <br /> Street, reworking of 10 signals, all of which are candidates <br /> for upgrading an~way, changes in signage, and striping. It <br /> would also be desirable to acquire R.O.W. and widen Guadalupe <br /> Street In some areas, and to develop longitudinal drainage <br /> storm sewers in conjunction with the widening. The R.O.W. and <br /> longitudinal drainage would be ineligible for Urban Systems <br /> funding. <br /> 2. Widen Loop 82 to 4 lanes from I.H. 35 to where it currently <br /> widens to 4 lanes near Bugg Lane, and install the culvert under <br /> Loop 82 called for by the Mill Street Outfall Channel plans. <br /> It would also be advisable to redesign the intersection of Loop <br /> 82, Post Road and the Aquarena entrance drive. This intersection <br /> would probably required signalization. <br /> 3. Rebuild Post Road from Loop 82 to the City Limits. This would <br /> include paving, developing longitudinal and cross drainage, and <br /> signage and striping. Post Road from Uhland Road to the City <br /> limits is not currently included on the Urban System, so the map <br /> would have to be altered to included this part. Longitudinal <br /> drainage would not be eligible for Urban Systems funding. <br /> 4. Widen Ranch Road 12 from Smith Street to the City Limits¡ or <br /> portions thereof, and improve cross and longi~udinal drainage <br /> CSM-1 00 <br />
