This Contract provides for the improvement of approximately 700 linear feet of continuous traffic curb and gutter and sidewalk along the west side of Alameda Avenue between existing sidewalk end points at the Cypress Point driveway entrance, north to an existing curb ramp at the southwest corner of Emerson Street. Between the back of curb and sidewalk there will be a 5’ wide planter area, consisting of 4’ of landscaped area and 1’ of choker course gravel. The sidewalk section will be installed as dense concrete over a ballast course that can accept surface runoff via the choker course and provide on-site infiltration. Existing driveways within the project limits will be replaced with dense concrete aprons and HMA driveway patches. Minor storm drain improvements within the roadway will be included as part of this project and all related work as shown on the Plans and as described in the Project Manual.
