RESOLUTION 18-020(A)

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, PROVIDING DIRECTION REGARDING THE FINAL DESIGN OF GREATLAND STREET EXTENSION PROJECT

WHEREAS, The City Council held a work session on January 22, 2018 to review progress on the design of the Greatland Street Extension project and provide direction to the design team as they proceed to finalize the design; and

WHEREAS, The worksession was advertised per City requirements and letters were sent to property owners directly impacted by the proposed project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Homer City Council directs the design team to proceed with final design based on the following direction:

1.            Greatland Street shall be extended north with the same road width as exists (40’), asphalt curb and gutter shall be provided on both sides, and a asphalt sidewalk on the east and west side shall be installed (similar to the existing Greatland Street).

2.            At the Pioneer intersection, the road width shall be narrowed to 28’ to match the existing curb returns (based on the expectation that a left turn bay will not be warranted in the foreseeable future).

3.            Install street lighting along the entire Greatland Street.

4.            Reestablish left turn delineation at the Sterling Highway intersection, provide a centerline strip and delineate bike lanes on each side of the roadway along the entire length of Greatland, safely transition bike lanes at both intersections using signage and appropriate pavement markings striping will include sharrow delineation where appropriate.

5.            The project should include work on the medical facility property, located at the SW corner of Pioneer/Greatland intersection, to mitigate parking space losses.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a request be made to AKDOT&PF to evaluate the Greatland Street and Sterling Highway intersection and consider changing center lane striping to improve left turn safety.

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council on this 12th day of February, 2018.
