BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 13, 2023, City Council awarded the Local Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Curb Ramp Improvements Project (tr2202) to RK Engineering of San Francisco, California.
The HSIP - Curb Ramp Replacement Project installed ADA-compliant curb ramps at five (5) unsignalized intersections:

• Linden Avenue and 8th Lane
The work completed consisted of replacing existing concrete curb ramps or corners with ADA- compliant curb ramps, replacing sections of existing fractured or settled curb and gutter, replacing sections of existing fractured sidewalk where necessary, and reinstalling traffic striping at five (5) locations.
The Engineering Division inspected the work and found the project to be complete in accordance with the contract documents as of June 24, 2024. This staff report includes the project location map and construction photos as Attachments 1 and 2, respectively.
