union road bike lanes

About this Project

This project involved the complete reconstruction, widening and lowering of Union Road, which is a primary City of Paso Robles arterial, from Kleck Road to Montebello Oaks Drive. The profile of the road was lowered at the intersection of Walnut Drive to achieve the appropriate sight distance. A number of utilities including a 12″ water main required relocation due to the change in the profile of the road. As a prime consultant, North Coast Engineering provided preliminary planning services for this project, and completed final contract documents including topographic surveys, right of way survey, roadway and drainage design, 12″ water main relocation and dry utility coordination. NCE provided complete construction management, including construction staking, contract administration, and daily observation. The project included the addition of a sidewalk along the north side to provide pedestrian circulation, the installation of a 16′ retaining wall to accommodate the new profile and Class II bike lanes and relocation of dry utilities. The project also added a right turn lane at Union Road and Golden Hill Road intersection. Approximately 1,000 linear feet of surface rehabilitation was added to the scope of work during construction. An aggressive erosion control program was implemented to reduce the potential site erosion and discharge to the sensitive downstream habitat areas. The project was prepared to utilize the State of California Standard Plans and Specifications, along with City Standards and standard drawings
