BAKERSFIELD PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM ~ TO: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER FROM: RAUL ROJAS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: OCTOBER 14, 1998 SUBJECT: IMPROVEMENTS SURROUNDING CENTENNIAL GARDEN Council Referral WF0017987 1 001 Councilmember Smith requested staff look into improving the lighting on the streets surrounding Centennial Garden. Also, resurfacing the alleys in the area and the possible installation of a mid-block crosswalk at Truxtun Avenue & "P" Street. 1. Improving the l~hting on streets surrounding Centennial Garden. Staff is reviewing the area north of Truxtun Avenue between "N" Street and "Q" Street for additional street light requirements. 2. Resu~acing the alleys within the area of the Centennial Garden. The Street Division will not finish resurfacing streets until late November 1998. The weather during the month of December and January is not suited for resurfacing projects. The Street Division will start resurfacing alleys in February 1999. The alleys in the area of the Centennial Garden will be resurfaced at that time. In the meantime, any potholes in these alleys will be patched. 3. Installation of a mid-block crosswalk at Truxtun Avenue & "P" Street. The Traffic Engineer reviewed the location at Truxtun and P Streets, in front of the Holiday Inn. A crosswalk cannot be placed at that intersection because of the left turn median opening that was installed for the Holiday Inn. Crossing at that location would conflict with the vehicles using the median opening to access the hotel.
