Redevelopment commission moves forward on Indian Boundary entrance changes, approves $2,500 amendment
Summary
The redevelopment commission authorized Amendment No.1 to the Indian Boundary design agreement to close one driveway, widen the Plaza Drive entrance and add a crosswalk, and approved a $2,500 increase to pay for survey work not included in the original contract.
The redevelopment commission considered and approved Amendment No.1 to the Indian Boundary design agreement, authorizing design staff to close one driveway on Indian Boundary, widen the entrance on Plaza Drive and install a crosswalk to encourage pedestrians to use the traffic signal.
Commission members and staff described the current layout as a safety concern for pedestrians and for large vehicles entering the site. Staff told the commission the property owner has been receptive during meetings and recommended continuing to work with him to finalize the design and any property agreements.
In addition to approving continued design work, the commission authorized a $2,500 increase to the design agreement to pay for a survey that was not included in the original scope. Staff said they will return to the RDC with a formal agreement after they meet with the landowner; that agreement may show the work is wholly within the public right-of-way or could require a temporary easement and a cost-share arrangement.
The discussion also touched on how the changes would affect traffic at the nearby BP station and pedestrian movements near the Burger King lot; staff showed a diagram indicating the driveway proposed for closure and the Plaza Drive access to be widened. Commissioners noted that, at this time, the project will include one crosswalk rather than two.
