STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Sidewalk and Bike Lane on Grapevine Street

Recommendation:
By minute motion, concur with Staff recommendation not to install
sidewalk or bike lane on Grapevine Street.
Discussion:
At the May 13, 2004 meeting, the City Council requested staff to investigate
installing sidewalks or bike lanes on Grapevine Street. Staff has reviewed the
area and found that there are many obstructions to consider for the construction
of this sidewalk, (see attached photos): including, mailboxes, utility risers, walls
and landscaping features. These obstructions are well developed and fit the
character of the neighborhood. While it would be easier to construct sidewalk in
certain areas than others, staff does not recommend building disconnected
segments of sidewalk. It is recommended that sidewalk not be constructed on
Grapevine Street.
Staff also evaluated the potential to install bike lane or parking lane on the north
side of Grapevine, in an attempt to move traffic further away from the homes. It
was determined that the easterly portion of the roadway could be re-striped,(see
attached Concept Striping Plan), however, staff does not feel that the width of the
street can accommodate bike lanes, refer to the attached. Altering the striping
would result in an unusual configuration and is not recommended.
