| Synopsis: |
The attached Intergovernmental Agreement No. 21397 is a
Crosswalk Maintenance Agreement between the City of Ashland and the Oregon
Department of Transportation. At the City's request, ODOT is installing
continental crosswalk markings on the State highway system within the City
limits. This agreement requires the City to maintain the crosswalks once
installed by ODOT. |
| Recommendation: |
It is recommended that the City Council approve
Intergovernmental Agreement No. 21397 - Crosswalk Maintenance Agreement between
the City of Ashland and the Oregon Department of Transportation. |
| Fiscal Impact: |
The City will be responsible for the maintenance costs of
each newly crosswalk on the State system (N. Main, E. Main, Lithia Way) within
the City's jurisdiction. It is estimated that the maintenance costs will
not exceed $80 per crosswalk per year. The maintenance costs are anticipated
to be less than $1600 annually, assuming that we will maintain about 20 crossings
a year. |
| Background: |
ODOT has agreed to install the continental crosswalk markings (the wide
"zebra" striped markings that the City uses downtown) at the City's request.
These have a higher initial construction application cost; yet ODOT has accepted
the Ashland standard for the road network within City limits. As such, ODOT
has asked that the City maintain these crossings at the City's expense. City
staff currently maintains other continental style crossings and this additional
maintenance requirement is acceptable and not a burden to the crew's current
requirement. The City has informally agreed to maintain previously installed
crosswalk markings within the City limits and has similar formal agreements
for the signal maintenance, electricity to signals and other maintenance
items pertaining to the State's road network within City limits. |
