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. New Replacement Equipment Project FY17 FY18 FY19
