TITLE- APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR
SIDEWALKS, STREET LIGHTING AND MEDIAN LANDSCAPE ON
ALGA ROAD FROM EL CAMINO REAL TO EL FUERTE; FINDING OF
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT
FOR BIDS, PROJECT NOS. 3560,3616 AND 3637
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2001-d 40 approving the plans and specifications for the construction of
sidewalks, street lighting and median landscaping on Alga Road from El Camino Real to El Fuerte;
finding of environmental compliance and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids, Project Nos. 3560, 3616 and 3637.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the street lighting on Alga Road to meet minimum City standards for a major arterial roadway as well as to improve the landscaping in the median and
add additional sidewalk on Alga Road to provide a more aesthetic appearance and aid pedestrian
traffic, including children walking to school. The current lighting and landscaping was constructed
when the area was under San Diego County jurisdiction. The street lighting and median
landscaping along Alga Road has been proposed for several years, but was only recently included
in the Capital Improvement Program budget.
The property owner (currently Villages of La Costa) will be required to construct the median
landscaping improvements on Alga Road from El Camino Real to 4,663 feet east of the intersection
with El Camino Real as a condition of approval for development of the vacant land north of
Alga Road.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the plans and specifications, find environmental
compliance and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids for the construction of these
improvements.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This project has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption. Pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, Section
15301 (Existing Facilities) the project involves the minor alteration (i.e., new median landscaping,
replacement of median curb, replacement of street lighting, new sidewalks, and related physical
improvements all within the existing street right of way) involving no or negligible expansion of use.
The Planning Director has filed a Notice of Exemption and a Notice of Determination was issued
upon approval of the Capital Improvement Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fifteen property owners have previously signed Future Improvement Agreements (FIA), which
obligate them to pay a portion, approximately $66,000, of the improvement costs. A letter was sent
to these property owners informing them of their pending obligation. The City will bill these property
owners after construction is complete and the actual costs are determined and proportionately
spread to these properties.

The entire project, including construction costs, has a current appropriation of $1,904 million consisting of the following funding sources:
The total project cost for all three projects is currently estimated to be $1,650,000 itemized as
follows:
