Banning Avenue Improvement Project2022/23
7/18/2023 Council Meeting
PURPOSE AND NEED
Banning Avenue (Magnolia to Brookhurst) includes street segments in poor pavement condition. These segments will be completed as part of the arterial street rehabilitation program.
Existing trees have impacted drainage and sidewalk and will be replaced with Eastern Redbud trees and hardscape improvements Residents concerned about high speed vehicle traffic. Four landscape medians and roundabout to provide traffic calming
New asphalt overlay for poor pavement sections and a slurry install to existing pavement for better sections, both extending life of the street Replace damaged and uneven concrete
Beautification enhancement with tree replacement and addition of four landscape medians Striping and signage improvements including school crosswalk enhancement and improved bike lane mobility Traffic calming measures with striping and landscaped median additions along Banning
SCOPE OF WORK

TWO COMMUNITY MEETINGS WERE PROVIDED AT
THE EDISON COMMUNITY CENTER:

BID ALTERNATIVES
Due to rapidly rising construction costs and potential budget constraints, this project was bid with three additive alternates to allow contract award flexibility.
Additive Alternate B
This scope includes completing improvements located at the intersection of Banning and Bushard if no roundabout is selected. The scope includes construction of curb ramps, slurry seal, and striping.
Additive Alternate C
The roundabout installation at Banning and Bushard is a traffic calming measure that was proposed to replace the existing 4-way stop in response to a survey where residents voiced their concerns about vehicles performing donuts in the intersection and speeding. Due to bidding market, staff will re-bid roundabout for construction in Summer 2024 if we get decision early from OCTA/FEDS otherwise the latest is Summer 2025.
Additive Alternate D
Staff revisited the existing streetlight illumination to see if there are locations that may improve night visibility on the Banning sidewalk corridors. There is no law or regulation prompting the additional lighting, but proposed improvements to improve lighting.
