<br />ESTIMATED COSTS <br /> <br />Since the recent pavement preservation project has provided a continuous overlay of this section <br />of Chambers Street, this would not be a good candidate, for landscaping, so the cost estimate <br />provided herein is based upon raised concrete islands poured on top of the paved surface. <br /> <br />Overall approximate dimensions of both islands would be 10' wide by 30' long, 6" height, <br />approximately 6 cu. yds. of PCC, 5/8" rebar pins driven into the pavement, mobilization, <br />temporary protection and direction of traffic and 25% Engineeling and Contingencies for a total <br />of approximately $6,000. <br /> <br />To maximize the effectiveness of and raise awareness of this new crossing, we would <br />recommend signing and marking it as a "continental" or "ladder har" high visibility crosswalk <br />with pedestrian/bike warning signs on each approach and "Yield to bikes and peds" supplemental <br />advisory plaques. All signing and markings must be reviewed and approved by the City Traffic <br />Engineer. <br /> <br />IMP ACTS <br /> <br />Based upon this recolmaissance-Ievel scoping, the restriction of southbound left turning <br />movements from Chambers to Broadway may have a positive effect in reducing potential cut- <br />through traffic by requiring drivers to make the left into the neighborhood at 8th Avenue or 10th <br />Avenue, rather than Broadway. All movements to and from either Broadway approach to <br />Chambers or 8th Place at Chambers would not be restricted or reduced. <br /> <br />07/12/05 G.Mc. <br /> <br />
