Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements on California Dr.
$150,000 26/27
California Drive is a heavily used corridor for cyclists and pedestrians traveling on the Vine Trail into the Town of Yountville from the south. It is also the primary entry route for wheelchair users, including veterans traveling from the Cal-Vet Yountville to the west. Grant funds will be used to advance a contract for the design of multi-modal mobility improvements, coordinated with facilities and right-of-way controlled by Caltrans and the Napa Valley Wine Train.
15. Project Scope Proposed for Funding: (Project level environmental, preliminary planning, and ROW are ineligible uses of TDA funds.)
The Town has an active on-call contract with a transportation design engineering firm, and has begun evaluating improvements to the California Drive corridor.Due to the corridor s complex conditions, preliminary design cost estimates are higher than initially anticipated. Requested grant funds will be used to refine and finalize the project scope and complete design services with the on-call consulting firm. Once design is complete, the Town will advance the project to construction using other secured funding sources.
16. Project Location: A map of the project location is attached or a link to a online map of the project location is provided below:
