From: Joe Rosenlund, Streets and Traffic Operations Manager
Re: D Street Repair Work
• Date: May 31, 2012
John Puccinelli raised concerns to the City Council regarding the traffic control for
maintenance work done on D Street the week of May 22 and the impact to adjacent
businesses. We had many of those concerns in mind when we planned the
maintenance project.
In this case, besides the normal public notice put out to the media, the crew leader met
with each business along D Street to explain the project and work out any necessary
accommodations. The project was scheduled to avoid affecting the seasonal fruit
packing operations that will be starting soon. For the coffee shop at the corner of 1St
Street and D Street, we scheduled work away from that corner until after the peak
morning hours. The 1 Street driveway was never closed and the left turn lane closure
on 1 Street was adjusted to accommodate traffic to that site.
The crew leader was on -site throughout the project. There were a few times when
trucks from the packing plants had to be guided through the work zone but the fire
station did not experience any delay in emergency response due to the work. None of
the adjacent businesses brought any complaints to him during the work. The work was
completed before noon on Thursday this week, one -half day ahead of schedule.

Dear Mr. Puccinelli:
Thank you for your continued interest in the Grade Separations Project. Since you brought to our
attention a potential discrepancy of right of way near the northern project limits. we had a
professional surveying company set the property corner pins for the Mel's Diner property this
past week. Thai properly is identified as parcel #191319-22401: 314 N 1' Street.
The survey determined that the new sidewalk is within the street right -of -way and the properry
pin sets behind the back of sidewalk. No additional right of way was "taken" or used for this
project from the MeY s Diner Property.
Please review the following photographs. You will see that the location of the property pins and
projection of right-of-way lines confirm our understanding of concern with the property lines for
the Mel's Diner property.
Should you want to meet us on site to discuss this please contact us at the numbers below If we
are not immediately available, Mel's Diner owner. Mr. Gomez. should be able to shoes- you the
location of the property corner pins as we showed the pins to him immediately after the surveyor
set them.
Should you have any questions or wish to meet to discuss this further please do not hesitate to
contact me at (509) 576 -6678. or Senior Engineer. Bob Desgrosellier at (509) 575 -6228
Respectfully.
