MID-BLOCK CROSSWALK ON LA GONDA WAY, CONTRACT NO. C-305
WHEREAS, Goal 12 of the Town of Danville 2010 General Plan directs the Town to
"Provide for safe and efficient travel on Town of Danville streets"; and
WHEREAS, Policy 14.01 of the Town of Danville 2010 General Plan directs the Town to
"Implement neighborhood traffic management measures, including physical changes and

discourage through traffic on residential streets, discourage speeding, and ensure vehicle,
pedestrian, and bicycle safety"; and
WHEREAS, land uses along La Gonda Way (south of El Cerro Boulevard) have
transitioned from being primarily residential to a more campus-like environment that now
includes private institutional uses such as St. Isidore's Church, St. Isidore's School and Kids
Konnection (affiliated with St. Isidore's School); and
WHEREAS, the need for groups of school children to access the school facilities across
La Gonda Way frequently during the course of a typical day resulted in a growing concern
about prevailing speeds along the roadway and pedestrian crossing safety; and
WHEREAS, the need for frequent pedestrian crossing is generated by these new private
institutional uses and that it would be appropriate for the cost of the flashing beacons and
mid-block crosswalk to be borne equally by the Town and St. Isidore's Church; and
WHEREAS, St. Isidore's Church affirmed its commitment to fund 50% of the cost of the
flashing beacons and mid-block crosswalk; and
WHEREAS, the installation of a mid-block crosswalk, consisting of the installation of curb
ramps and a textured asphalt crosswalk, is allowed by applicable State law regulating
roadway design features; and
WHEREAS, plans and specifications for the installation of a mid-block crosswalk on
La Gonda Way are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Section 15301, Class 1; and
WHEREAS, 2005/06 funds have been appropriated for installation of traffic safety devices
in Project C-305 of the 2005/06 to 2009/10 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk of this Town did, in open session on the 8th day of December,
2005, publicly open and read aloud the sealed bids received as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the low bidder for the mid-block crosswalk project is AJW Construction of
