EXHIBIT A1 – PROJECT SCOPE
Urban Project H2 – California Ave. Fruit to Ventura
Replace information below with information for subject Project phase Responsible Agency
City of Fresno
Project Limits
The project limits for Urban Project H2 are California Ave. from Fruit Avenue to Ventura Avenue, approximately 1.0 mile.
Project Phase (Choose the Project Phase(s) applicable to this Agreement only) Phase 1 - Preliminary Engineering (Includes Preliminary Design/Engineering (PS&E) and Environmental) Phase 2 - Right-of-Way Acquisition
Phase 3 - Construction (Includes Project Construction & Construction Management)
Project Phase(s) Scope (Provide detail to describe the Phase(s) that is the subject of this Agreement as checked above) Phase 1 includes preliminary design/engineering (PS&E) and environmental review and approval. Right -of-way (ROW) acquisition will begin after the approval of the preliminary environmental study (CEQA). Once the final PS&E, envir onmental studies, and ROW acquisition are complete, Phase 3 will commence.
Complete Project Scope (Provide detail to describe all phases of the Project - It is important for the Authority to understand the scope of the entire Project; not just the Project phase(s) that is described above).
The project will enhance California Avenue as a 3- lane collector , from Fruit Avenue to Ventura Avenue, by improving the roadway and providing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Improvements include the installation of a new traffic signal at Fruit Avenue, modifications to the existing traffic signal at Thorne Avenue, and intersection improvements at Fresno Street, Plumas Avenue, and Tulare Street . Paving improvements along California Avenue will also be made. Additionally, a HAWK pedestrian signal will be installed near Maud Avenue, and a Class I trail will be constructed along the south side of California Avenue, connecting to the existing Rashad Al-Hakim Jr. trail (Fanning Ditch) near S. Thorne Avenue and extending the Class I facility easterly to Walnut Avenue.
Phase 1 includes preliminary engineering services including topographic survey, analysis and preparation of environmental documents to comply with CEQA requirements, development of contract construction documents including engineer’s estimates for construction (PS&E), and the determination of right -of-way needs including ordering preliminary title reports. Phase 1 is completed with project bidding, evaluation of bids, and award of the construction contract by City Council.
Phase 2 is the right -of-way phase and focuses on the appraisal or any needed right -of-way and the subsequent acquisition processing and purchase of property for street right -of-way purposes, as well as securing any needed easements or rights of entry . It is anticipated this project will affect several parcels.
Phase 3 encompasses the project’s construction, including all construction management services, any material orders and project closeout.
Project Purpose
The main purpose of the project is to create a more complete street and corridor, providing amenities and options that reduce barriers to walking and bicycling. Installing infrastructure that provides transportation options will reduce vehicle emissions and improve safety for all users.
Transportation Benefit
The project will provide bicycle/pedestrian congestion relief approximately 5,000 students attending Edison High School, Computech Middle School, Lincoln Elementary School, and King Elementary School will benefit daily from usi ng the project as a route to campus. Installation of new traffic signal and intersection modifications at Fresno Street, Plumas, and Fruit Avenues will primarily serve commuters to area schools while also providing improved active transportation facilities for residents desiring to walk or bicycle as their transportat ion.
Implications of Not Doing the Project
The Fresno County Department of Public Health, California Walks, and UC Berkeley Safe TREC recently partnered with community members and City staff to host a Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training. The July 2021 virtual walk audit and training was the accumulation of planning meetings for the even. Pedestrian and bicyclist improvements along the limits of the California Complete Streets Project corridor were included in the discussions. A final report should be forthcoming. California Walks, describes themselv es as a statewide voice for pedestrian safety and healthy, walkable communities for people of all ages and abilities. The UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) is a program of the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

funding, the Center’s objective is to prevent injuries from traffic collisions through projects encompassing research, training, public service and/or policy. SafeTREC The audit was the culmination of community sessions to discuss transportation issues and concerns in southwest Fresno.
Community Engagement
The project limits are within a moderately populated residential area. Residents, businesses and property owners will be kept informed of the Project’s status and schedule through Project newsletters, the City’s website and local media.
Construction Staging
