Short Title Description ofProiect: Campbell Avenue Underpass Replanking
Enter explanatory comments below, as required due to certain "YES" or "NO" answers to items "A" through
"G" on the Project Application Form, or to provide information that will not fit on the application form, or to
provide information that will clarify any potential confusion concerning the scope, cost or schedule for the
project.
Council approval is anticipated on May 7, 2002. Environmental compliance documentation will be completed by
May 15, 2002.
Project Description: The existing surface on the section of the Los Gatos Creek Trail that passes under Campbell
Avenue consists of painted plywood panels placed on top of wood planks that have become warped over time (see
project vicinity map and location map). The section length is approximately 460 feet and eight feet wide, and is both
curved with grades as high as 7.25 percent. Figure 1 (Project Vicinity Map) and attached Project Location Map show
the project location in greater detail.
Installation of the plywood was necessary because of the uneven level of the planks, but the plywood has created its
own safety problem because the smooth surface becomes slippery when wet. Research by City staff has identified
several options for installing planks that will eliminate warping and also minimize the potential for skidding accidents.
The project will replace the plywood surface with new planking in order to provide a long-life, low-maintenance
surface that also provides for safe usage by pedestrians and bicyclists in all weather conditions.
Project Justification: The primary purpose of the project is user safety. The City has received several reports of
joggers' falling on the slippery planks and numerous complaints regarding the danger of the smooth plywood surfacen
that the surface is particularly slippery in wet weather. Usage of the trail in this section has increased significantly with
the installation of a bridge to the south that connects the trail on the west side of Los Gatos Creek to the trail on the east
side. Additional usage is anticipated after a major upgrade of Campbell Park has resulted in much higher activity in the
project area.
Los Gatos Creek Trail, especially in the vicinity of downtown Campbell, is highly multi-user, attracting walkers,
joggers, and rollerbladers as well as bicyclists. The recent extension of the trail on the north from Leigh Avenue to
Meridian Avenue as well as the construction of the Mozart Avenue Bridge across Highway 17 should increase
commuter usage of the trail. In addition, the trail intersects bus routes on Campbell and Hamilton Avenues in the
vicinity of the proposed project.
Project Cost: The engineer's estimate is $140,000, which includes engineering, removal of the existing surface. and
installation of new planks. Revised engineer's estimate reflects additional costs for designing and constructing
additional structural supports for existing cantilevered structure.
Schedule: The project can be completed within fiscal year 2002/2003 if approved for the current funding cycle.
Public Support: The Los Gatos Creek Trail has been strongly supported by the City's Bicycle Advisory Committee as
well as the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council.
