14th Street Reconstruction Project (GO Bond)

Print Feedback

Font Size: + -

The 14^th Street Reconstruction Project completed construction in October 2018. This project was the eighth and final project funded by the voter-approved transportation improvement General Obligation (GO) bond. The bond initially identified the project limits between Simpson and Galveston. However, City Council approved the extension for design to Newport Ave (north), and Donovan Ave (south). Funding was allocated for the construction of Simpson to Albany (Zone 2), Albany to Galveston (Zone 3), and Newport to Galveston (Zone 4), between April and October 2018.

PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Increase safety and mobility for all users and create an environment for walking, biking, and transit use.
Improve accessibility by removing or providing clearance from obstructions in the sidewalk.
Improvements result in a complete street with the Central Westside Plan (CWP) preferred land use scenario. The CWP land-use scenario proposes a mixed-use land use form projected to increase walking, biking, and transit trips, thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

In 2016, the project team presented a GO bond program update to City Council, requesting authority to proceed with the 14^th Street Reconstruction Project. Staff also proposed the extension of project limits due to lacking connectivity, sub-par infrastructure condition, transit planning efforts, recent development, and updated City planning efforts. City council provided authority during the January 20, 2016 meeting and requested staff present 30% level design and estimates upon completion.

Project limits extended north and south to include the following roadway segments:

NW 14^th Street (NW Galveston Avenue to NW Newport Avenue)
SW Century Drive (SW Colorado Avenue to SW Simpson Avenue)

Project team staff presented the 30% design and project estimates to City council during the December 7, 2016 meeting. The presentation and council discussion focused on existing conditions, proposed improvements, class 4 estimates( feasibility/study phase), funding, and next steps. The next steps outlined a proposal to finalize design and outlined the estimated design fee range, schedule, and funding sources. City Council voiced support for continuing to final design for the entire length of the corridor, SW Colorado Ave to NW Newport Ave. Project team staff informed City Council that they would return with a contract amendment, including scope and fee, to complete the design.

PROJECT LOCATIONS

The project divided the corridor into four zones. View the completed typical sections for each zone below:
