nor, � i PAQE 85, <br />PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - 16TH STREET (ROSEWOOD ROAD) <br />BRIDGE OVER LATERAL "B" CANAL EAST OF KINGS HIGHWAY <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis reviewed a Memorandum of March <br />31, 1997: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis P.E., <br />Public Works Directorru <br />SUBJECT: 16"' Street(Rosewood Road) Bridge over <br />Lateral "B" Canal East of Kings Highway) <br />REF. LETTER: Dr. & Mrs. Robert Vinson to James Chandler dated Mar 11, 1997 <br />DATE: March 31, 1997 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Kings Highway Widening and Improvement Project includes the replacement of the <br />existing two lane bridge over the Lateral "B" Canal at le Street with a new three lane <br />bridge. The design is complete and the project is planning to be bid for construction this <br />summer. A recent request has been received by certain property owners along 1 e Street <br />to discourage the use of 16"' Street by eliminating the entire bridge, reduce the width of <br />the bridge to two lanes, or install "stop" signs along 16'hStreet. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The Public Works Department Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed the suggestions <br />to discourage use of 16'hStreet and the attached report summarizes the analysis. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff does not recommend changing the proposed three lane bridge replacement, <br />restricting left turns at the bridge, nor placing "stop" signs and speed bumps along 16' <br />Street. Since Dr. and Mrs. Vinson object to the County acquiring additional right-of-way <br />along the frontage of their property east of Kings Highway, the proposed left turn lane on <br />10h Street near the bridge will be shortened to eliminate the need for additional right-of- <br />way at their property. <br />Director Davis described the contents of the following Notice <br />to Rosewood Road and neighboring residents: <br />18 <br />April 8, 1997 <br />
