RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the final plans and specifications and
authorize the publication of a notice inviting bids for the Washington Boulevard/Boise
Avenue Pedestrian Crossing Signal Project, P-934.
BACKGROUND:
The length between the signalized intersections of Washington Boulevard/Zanja
Street and Washington Boulevard/Centinela Avenue is approximately 1,800 feet.
The proposed pedestrian crossing signal across Washington Boulevard at Boise
Avenue will nearly bisect this 1,800 length in order to create a shorter distance
between signalized crossings along this section of Washington Boulevard. The long
walking distance between the existing signalized intersections, coupled with the
recent development in the area, increase the need for the proposed pedestrian
crossing signal.
DISCUSSION:
Under the general on-call traffic engineering services contract with the City,
Infrastructure Engineers, formerly known as AAE, Inc., completed the design and
preparation of the plans and specifications for the Washington Boulevard/Boise
Avenue pedestrian crossing installation. The design includes two overhead signals
with 2 flashing yellow lights in each direction of travel along Washington Boulevard.
These flashing yellow lights can be activated by pedestrians through a push button
on either side of Washington Boulevard. City of Culver City, California
