SUBJECT: Status Report on the Magnesia Falls Drive Street Widening
DATE: December 13, 2001
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
The following is the list of items describing the progress of the Magnesia Falls Drive
street widening project:
• Conceptual Street Alignment has been submitted and reviewed.
• Conceptual Street Alignment was to be presented to a public forum, (residents
adjacent to project), in December 2001, it is the staffs opinion that holding the
forum in late January 2002 would increase the attendance levels. At the public
forum we will present to the residents the conceptual street improvement plans
and discuss the implementation of the various proposed mitigation measures.
• Upon incorporation of the input by the public forum, design will proceed with a
65% design submittal scheduled for May 2002. The final design approval is
expected to be in August 2002 and construction beginning in September 2002.
The project is expected to be complete in March 2003.
• Staff is currently reviewing the necessary right of way along the south side of
Magnesia Falls Drive between Portola Avenue and the San Pascual Channel and
the access into Magnesia Falls for the residents of Portola Palms Mobile Home
Park.
• The Bridge Structure Study Report has been submitted and reviewed. Staff has
approved the most cost effective bridge structure, which is a concrete deck with
pre-cast girders design.
While the design effort appears to be on a "Slow Track", it is our opinion that since the
project involves significant public input a deliberate, precise approach will better serve
their project.
