PROJECT NAME
Widen Laurel Parkway from Durston Road to Fallon Street
FY15
$152,400
FY16 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Expand 0.78 miles of Laurel Parkway from Durston Road to Fallon Street from 2 lanes to 3 lanes with initial construction of the
street.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Defer widening until a future date when it will be more costly as existing road improvements will be damaged and require repair.
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
The project would allow the construction of the new street with the center turn lane as depicted in the City’s adopted Transportation Plan.
The turn lane adds approximately 33% additional capacity per Table 9-1 of the transportation plan compared to a two lane road. To later widen
a street from 2 lanes to 3 lanes after it is constructed is one of the most costly ways to add capacity. Therefore, it is very cost advantageous to
the City to fund this widening now to occur with the initial street construction. This amendment will support the next phases of the Norton
East Ranch Subdivision and Valley West Subdivision. Construction with initial street installation also reduces disruption to the traveling public.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Routine O&M will be required once constructed.
FUNDING SOURCES
Impact fees $152,400, the balance of the work will be a subdivision project improvement.
