RECOMMENDATIONS:
ADOPT Resolution ratifying the prior decision of the Public Works Director, or designee, to fully close a portion of Blackwood Drive between Murwood Drive and Solveig Drive, and all of Murwood Drive, Solveig Drive, Carrol Road and Ward Drive, on August 14, 2023 through January 15, 2024 from 7:00 a.m. through 5:30 p.m., for the purpose of trenching to install approximately 6,200 feet of water main and required appurtenances for the infrastructure renewal project, Walnut Creek area. (District IV)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the applicant, has requested the road closures to help facilitate the construction project. The narrow road widths are not conducive to maintaining one 10’ wide lane of traffic through the construction zones at all times during construction. Therefore, in the interest of expediting construction and maximizing traffic safety, EBMUD is requesting a road closure. EBMUD has requested this modification of the closure dates from the previously approved road closure permit due to the fact their crews are working ahead of schedule and will be available at an earlier date for this project. Applicant shall follow guidelines set forth by the Public Works Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Applicant will not have Board approval for completed road closure.
