| | | | | | | | | To: | Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Advisory Committee | | From: | Janneke Strause, Transportation Planner | | Meeting Date: | October 5, 2022 | | Subject: | Imjin Parkway Widening Project Update |
| |
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION: | RECEIVE update on the Imjin Parkway Widening Project. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY: | | The City of Marina is the implementing agency for the Marina - Salinas Multimodal Corridor: Imjin Parkway Widening project. This is the first Measure X regional project to receive competitive grant funding. The Imjin Parkway Widening project will improve travel connections between Salinas, Marina, Cal State University Monterey Bay and the Peninsula. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | The City of Marina is utilizing Measure X to fund the construction phase of the project, not to exceed $18,100,000; the remaining costs will be paid out of state Local Partnership Program Competitive funds ($19,000,000) and local developer fees ($2,000,000) for a total construction cost of $39,100,000. |
| |
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION: | The Marina-Salinas Multimodal Corridor: Imjin Safety & Traffic Flow is a regional Measure X project on Imjin Parkway from Imjin Road to Reservation Road. It serves as one of the major commute corridors between the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas, ranging at various points in the project limits from 24,000 vehicles to 39,000 vehicles traversing the roadway each weekday.
The project will widen the Imjin Parkway from Imjin Road to Reservation Road from two to four lanes, construct four roundabouts along the corridor and make transit and pedestrian improvements, along with on-street buffered bike lanes and stormwater treatment areas, retaining and sound walls. The improvements will benefit commuters who travel through the corridor, as well as those who live along the corridor at CSU Monterey Bay and the neighboring homes in Marina Heights, Sea Haven and Preston Park.
The project is 100% designed and the City of Marina, the lead agency on the project, is currently finalizing right-of-way certification, permits, and bid documents. The City anticipates construction will begin in Summer 2023. A representative from the City of Marina will provide an update at the meeting. |
