12 <br />development of vehicle safety measures at Program Avenue / County Road H2 <br />Curve. A report addressing possible short-term solutions to the issue has been <br />completed. <br /> <br />Based on the report, Staff is recommending that the City proceed with the <br />installation of the chevron delineator signs along the curve according to the <br />guidelines included in the report as the short-term solution to this problem. The <br />estimated cost of the recommended signage installation is $2,000 - $2,500. Staff <br />will initiate the signage installation later this month. <br /> <br />Staff believes that the installation of signage alone is the most cost effective <br />short-term solution. If it is determined that the signage alone does not effectively <br />address the problem, additional measures can be and will be explored at that <br />time. <br /> <br />Long-term solutions are currently being studied. These include: increasing the <br />radius of the curve, adding super elevation to the curve, installation of a berm <br />along the north and east sides of the curve, and conversion of the curve to a two <br />way stop configuration. All of these possible long-term solutions are relatively <br />expensive and would be more cost effective if implemented at a future date when <br />the roadway is rehabilitated. <br /> <br /> <br />WELL NUMBER 4 REHABILITATION <br />Well Number 4 has been out of service since 1992, due to water quality issues. It <br />is located at the southeast corner of Edgewood Drive and Hillview Road. The <br />cost and issues of making it operational are being studied by the engineering firm <br />of Short, Elliot, Hendrickson Inc. (SEH). A water quality analysis of the water <br />contained within the aquifer from which Well Number 4 pumps was performed. <br />The tests indicated that the contaminants can be effectively treated at Treatment <br />Plant No. 1. <br /> <br />A draft feasibility report, which includes several options for the possible future <br />use of Well No. 4, has been submitted. Staff is currently reviewing this draft <br />report and will be discussing the results with SEH. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL UPDATES <br /> <br />PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT – STREET RATINGS <br />The Public Works Department will be performing a condition rate study of all City <br />owned streets. This study will be conducted in June of 2005. The data from the <br />study will be used to develop and refine the City Infrastructure Improvement <br />Program. <br />
