Home My WebLink AboutItem 5.1 Street Lighting Request Golden Gate Dr .i CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT City Council Meeting Date: January 8, 1990 SUBJECT: Request for Street..Lighting on Golden Gate Drive (Report by Public Works Director Lee Thompson) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1) Letter and Petition from SmithKline Bioscience Employees - 2) Copy of Capital Improvement Program Page Regarding Downtown Street Light Additions RECOMMENDATION: Leave the Downtown Street Light Additions project as- is in the 1992-93 Fiscal Year and review its priority in June, 1990, with the other CIP's. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated cost to install the seven street lights needed for Golden Gate Drive, including design and inspection, is $35,000. The entire Downtown Street Light Additions CIP is estimated at $137,000. DESCRIPTION: In December, 1989, Staff received a phone call and, later, the attached letter and petition from the employees of SmithKline Bio-Science Laboratories requesting that street lighting be installed on Golden Gate Drive. The SmithKline facility operates 24 hours a day, and some of the employees either park on the street or use public transportation and walk to the building from the bus stop on Dublin Boulevard. Street lighting is presently installed at the Dublin Boulevard intersection but not along Golden Gate Drive. The street is dark at night, as lighting from adjacent businesses is limited. On-street parking is heavy. The 1988-93 Capital Improvement Program contains a project to install street lighting in five locations: Golden Gate Drive, Clark Avenue, Sierra Court, Sierra Lane, and four lights on Amador Valley Boulevard just east of Village Parkway. The entire project would install 30 lights. This Street Lighting Capital Improvement Project is currently proposed to be done in the 1992-93 Fiscal Year. The estimated cost of providing street lighting for Golden Gate Drive only is $35,000. Utilities are underground on Golden Gate; so the cost of providing the lighting is much higher than the cost would be if the lighting were served from overhead lines. The estimated cost of the entire Downtown Street Light Additions CIP is $137,000. Staff recommends that this project be reviewed during the annual review of the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program in order to determine whether the project should be moved up in time. Alternate options to Staff's recommendation are: 1) Create a separate Capital Improvement Project to install lighting on Golden Gate Drive at an estimated cost of $35,000 and proceed with design of the project, to be constructed in this (1989-90) Fiscal Year. This would require a budget transfer from unallocated funds. 2) Direct Staff, in the preparation of the next draft Five-Year CIP, to move up the Golden Gate Drive portion of the street lighting CIP to the 1990-91 Fiscal Year. 3) Direct Staff, in the preparation of the next draft Five-Year CIP, to move up the entire Street Lighting CIP to the 1990-91 Fiscal Year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM N0. ♦ COPIES TO: Pauline Yan Vijay Aggarwal _.i Golden Gate Drive, Dublin,California 94568•(415)82, ,10 SKBL SmithKline Bio-Science Laboratories Mr. Lee Thompson Public Work Director GEC Dublin City Hall ^� � P.O.
