STREET P ROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Plan’s Streets Program provides for a safe and functional roadway and pedestrian street
system. Projects within the Street Program are classified by their primary scope of work into five project
categories:
• Street Repair & Resurfacing Projects
• Roadway Safety Improvements
• Landscape & Beautification Improvements
• Sidewalks, Curbs & Storm Drains
• Bridge & Hillside Support Projects
Street Repair & Resurfacing Projects – consist of projects which primarily repave and improve roadway
surfaces. Projects include a general resurfacing project that provides annual funding for neighborhood, collector,
and arterial street improvements on a priority basis. Funding is added to the ongoing project each year as
available. Individual Street Repair & Resurfacing projects may be set up when specific roadway grants are
provided for specifically identified bodies of work.
Roadway Safety Improvements – include projects that improve roadway safety factors. Projects include a Traffic
Safety project for small improvement items such as signs, striping and curbs as directed by the Traffic Safety
Commission; ADA projects for accessibility enhancements such as curb ramps and audible signals; refuge lanes
for traffic merging, railroad crossing improvements, radar feedback signs, and larger safety projects such as the
bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements made to Highway 9.
Landscape & Beautification Improvements – is a category for projects which improve the visual component of
streets. This includes projects for median landscape improvements, city entrance signs, tree lighting, sidewalk
furniture and accessories such as trash receptacles and news rack stands.
Sidewalk, Curbs & Storm Drains – is comprised of sidewalk improvement and repair projects, curb, gutter, and
storm drain improvements, and pedestrian improvement projects. These projects are both general and specific,
depending on funding sources.
Bridge & Hillside Support Projects – contain projects that repair, replace, or rehabilitate a deficient bridge
structure or provide support for hillside roadways. Bridge structures falls under the guidance of federal and state
regulations, and are often funded by these regulatory agencies, such as Caltrans or the Federal Highway Bridge
Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (HBBR). Hillside Support projects are generally funded through
transfers from the General Fund.
The two schedules on the following pages list the Street Program’s capital projects and the Street Program’s
summary funding by account classification. Following the summary schedules are individual project pages for
each of the funded projects in this capital program.

Project Name Annual Street Resurfacing Project Number 9111-001
Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This is an ongoing annual project for street resurfacing to maintain the City’s pavement
infrastructure.
Location This is a Citywide project that is conducted throughout the fiscal year.
Project
Background
Every two years, Harris & Company performs an assessment of City roads using the paving
condition index (PCI). The PCI is based on a scale of 0 to 100. A score of 0 is used to indicate
when roads have failed and 100 is used for roads in excellent condition. Scores are classified
into five categories:
Category Score
“Very Poor” 0-25
“Poor” 25-49
“Good” 50-69
“Very Good” 40-89
“Excellent” 90-100
The City uses this assessment to prioritize streets for resurfacing. Roads in the worst condition
and arterial roads with poor ratings are scheduled for resurfacing each year. Consequently, the
City has achieved an average PCI rating of “Very Good” and has avoided costly deferred
maintenance on deteriorated roads.
Most work is performed by contractors. However, staff will conduct minor repairs to roadways
when necessary. There is a total of 135 miles of roadway in Saratoga.
Operating
Budget
Impacts
Resurfacing streets on a regular basis extends the lifetime of Saratoga’s roadways, therefore
minimizing the likelihood of larger and most costly projects in the future. Keeping the streets
in good condition also reduces liability expenses caused by roads in poor condition.

Project Name Annual Street Restriping Project Number 9111-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Rick Torres
Description This is an ongoing annual project for annual street restriping throughout the City to maintain roadway
infrastructure and enhance roadway safety. In addition to restriping streets, this project includes
repainting curbs and installing and replacing signs.
Location This is a Citywide project; locations vary depending on prioritized streets for the year.
Project
Background
Each year, existing striping, signage, and curbs are assessed by City staff to determine where repairs or
additions are needed. The City focuses its efforts in areas that are in poor condition, where striping can
reduce hazards, and locations that have been identified by staff, the Traffic Safety Commission, and
residents as needing striping improvements.
Striping work on smaller streets and school zones is done primarily by City staff. However, the City
will hire contractors to perform larger projects or work on busy streets. Restriping is done with
traditional road paint or thermoplastic.
Street signs are primarily made and installed by City staff. There are 12,000 to 15,000 street signs in
Saratoga.
Funding for restriping comes from the Gas Tax Fund and Road Impact Fee. This money allows the
City to properly maintain the striping, curbs, and street signs located on the 135 miles of roadway in
Saratoga. Approximately 25,000 to 30,000 linear feet of road is painted every year.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Conducting routine maintenance of striping, curbs, and signage on Saratoga streets reduces the need
for extensive repairs in the future, thereby preventing larger and more time consuming restriping
projects in the future. Additionally, regular restriping ensures that Saratoga roadways are clearly
marked and safer for drivers to navigate. Staff time spent conducting work or overseeing contract work
is incorporated into the operating budget on an ongoing basis.

Project Name Saratoga Avenue Resurfacing Project Number 9112-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project will resurface sections of Saratoga Avenue between Kerwin Ranch Road and the City
Limits.
Location Two sections of Saratoga Avenue will be resurfaced, one between the City Limits and Cox Avenue
and another between Ranfree Lane and Kerwin Ranch Court.
Project
Background
The City uses the paving condition index (PCI) to determine the conditions of roads. Ratings range
from “failed” to “excellent”. On average, the City is able to maintain its roads at a PCI rating of “very
good” by conducting surveys of the roads every two years and carefully monitoring street conditions.
Regular maintenance of the roads helps avoid costly deferred maintenance on deteriorated roads and
extends the lifetime of the City’s existing roadways.
In 2009, the City sought and received federal stimulus funds to repave two sections of Saratoga
Avenue. This street is one of the City’s arterial roads and receives significant use. The federal monies
will help the City leverage limited funds to help maintain this critical City road.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Funding for the work comes from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act monies, consequently
significant staff time is expected to be spent tracking and reporting on use of these stimulus dollars.
However, ongoing maintenance of City roadways will increase the longevity of existing streets and
ultimately reduce long term capital expenses.

Project Name Roadway Safety & Traffic Calming Project Number 9121-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Kristin Borel
Description In conjunction with the Traffic Safety Commission, this project develops and implements traffic
calming improvements. This includes the installation of roadway devices that enhance pedestrian and
roadway safety.
Location This is a Citywide project that is conducted on an ongoing basis.
Project
Background
The Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) and staff review and assess traffic concerns throughout the City.
Most of the time small improvements are recommended that are within the scope of the operating
budget. Occasionally, more costly remediations are warranted and roadway safety and traffic calming
funds are used.
These funds are used for traffic calming improvements such as speed bumps, median chokers, and bulb
outs that slow traffic and enhance pedestrian safety. Traffic projects on the CIP list are reviewed each
year by the TSC and prioritized according to safety. Priority is given to projects adjacent to schools.
Last year, three projects were completed:
- A new center refuge median on Quito Road at McCoy was installed to help improve the
safety for pedestrians trying to cross Quito Road;
- A small median on Aspesi was constructed to help slow traffic before a curve in the roadway
where traffic was speeding and drifting into the lane of oncoming traffic; and
- A new speed bump was installed on Cox Avenue between Paseo Presada and Quito Road to
help slow traffic through this corridor.
Operating
Budget Impacts
The goal of this fund is to make roads safer. Projects are primarily focused on reducing driver
speed and making pedestrians more visible, which has ultimately helped to reduce the number of
accidents in the City. Engineering staff time for oversight of these projects is incorporated into
the operating budget.

Project Name Solar Radar Feedback Signs Project Number 9121-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Kristin Borel
Description This project includes purchase and installation of solar radar feedback signs to assist with speed
reduction on City streets.
Location This is a Citywide project with locations throughout the City.
Project
Background
The Traffic Safety Commission (TSC) and staff review and assess traffic concerns throughout the City.
Speeding is one of the primary concerns raised by residents. Consequently, the TSC and staff have
been working together to find ways to address speeding issues in the City. Radar feedback signs have
been an effective traffic calming solution.
Radar feedback signs are vehicle activated signs which display driver speeds on an LED panel as
motorists approach. The signs are intended to alert drivers when they are driving above the speed limit
or at unsafe speeds. Studies have shown that radar speed signs effectively slow traffic down.
The City has two types of radar feedback signs. The first is a portable display, which is attached to a
trailer that can be placed in areas where concerns with speeding are highest. It is frequently placed
near schools and residential streets with high traffic volumes. The City also has three sets of
permanent displays. One sign is on Saratoga-Los Gatos Road and two sets are on Cox Avenue.
The TSC, staff, and traffic engineer will work with residents to determine where additional signs will
need to be placed
Operating
Budget Impacts
While solar radar feedback signs do require maintenance, the signs have helped to reduce traffic speeds
in the City and have consequently increased safety on Saratoga roads. Costs associated with project
management have already been incorporated in the operating budget.

Project Name ADA Accessible Signals Project Number 9121-003
Department Public Works Project Manager Kristin Borel
Description This project will complete ADA improvements to existing signalized intersections throughout
Saratoga. Pushbuttons at these intersections will be replaced with “vibrotactile” buttons for the visually
impaired.
Location This project will upgrade the 15 City owned signalized intersection with traffic signals.
Project
Background
This project will update existing signals with audible signals for the visually impaired. The City plans
to install a “vibrotactile” type of pedestrian signal. This new pushbutton will vibrate when the
“WALK” signal is on, giving visually impaired pedestrians a cue to cross the street. This is an
unobtrusive means of providing the visually impaired with 100% confidence that the “WALK” signal
is on. ADA improvements to ramps, curbs, and crosswalks will also be included in this project.
Money for this project has been provided through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
As money becomes available each year, more intersections will be upgraded until all the City owned
intersections have been improved.
Improvements will be conducted by contractors, but the project will be managed by staff. The project
will be broken up into two phases. The first phase will be completed before the end of the 2009/2010
fiscal year. The second phase will be completed in fiscal year 2010/2011.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will increase safety for visually impaired pedestrian in Saratoga. Consequently, it will also
reduce liability expenses associated with pedestrian accidents. Engineering staff time for project design
and oversight will be incorporated into the operating budget.

Project Name Highway 9 Safety Improvements Phase II Project Number 9122-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Iveta Harvancik
Description A multi-agency pedestrian and bicycle safety improvement project to enhance the safety of the
Highway 9 corridor, which links the communities of Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Los Gatos.
Location The project covers the section of Highway 9 that links Saratoga to Monte Sereno.
Project
Background
Due to several accidents on Highway 9, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Los Gatos participated in a
feasibility study to add bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths along the Highway 9 corridor. An ad hoc
committee comprised of two Council members from each jurisdiction formed to accept public input on
development of a master plan for Highway 9 safety improvements. The Saratoga City Council
approved the master plan in April 2007.
Due to the limited funding sources, a project phasing approach is necessary. Phase 1 was administered
by the Town of Los Gatos and included installation of bicycle lanes on both sides of Highway 9
between Saratoga and Los Gatos. Additionally, two pedestrian-activated lighted crosswalks were
installed. The improvements were completed in 2008 and were funded by a federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant and matching funds from the cities.
Phase 2 will be managed by the City of Saratoga and will be partially funded from remaining CMAQ
funds from Phase 1 and a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant. Phase 2 will include
installation of pedestrian pathways, curbs, retaining walls, driveway modifications, crosswalks,
signage, and striping between Saratoga and Monte Sereno on Highway 9.
Phase 3 will include improvements to the Austin Way and Highway 9 intersection and will also be
administered by the City of Saratoga.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will require project management, engineering oversight, and grant reporting, which is
already incorporated in to the FY 2010/11 budget. Once completed, the City anticipates increased
maintenance expenses associated with upkeep of pathways, retaining walls, and curbs. However, the
project will also increase safety for pedestrians on the Highway 9.

Project Name Highway 9 Safety Improvements Phase III Project Number 9122-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Iveta Harvancik
Description A multi-agency pedestrian and bicycle safety improvement project to enhance the safety of the
Highway 9 corridor, which links the communities of Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Los Gatos.
Location This project will be located at Austin Way and Highway 9 in Saratoga.
Project
Background
This project marks the third phase of safety improvements to the Highway 9 corridor that stretches
from Saratoga to Los Gatos. The improvements were initiated following several accidents on Highway
9.
This third phase of improvements will realign the Austin Way and Highway 9 intersection to make it
easier for motorists to see bicyclists. The project will also include installation of bicycle loops at all of
the signalized intersections along the Highway 9 corridor. The project is expected to make it safer for
bicyclists traveling along this section of Highway 9. Most of the funding for this phase will come from
Prop 116 monies from the State.
The first phase of Highway 9 safety improvements was administered by the Town of Los Gatos and
included installation of bicycle lanes on both sides of Highway 9 between Saratoga and Los Gatos.
Additionally, two pedestrian-activated lighted crosswalks were installed. The improvements were
completed in 2008 and were funded by a federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant
and matching funds from the cities.
The second phase will be managed by the City of Saratoga and will include installation of pedestrian
pathways, curbs, retaining walls, driveway modifications, crosswalks, signage, and striping between
Saratoga and Monte Sereno on Highway 9.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will require project management, engineering oversight, and grant reporting, which is
already incorporated in to the FY 2010/11 budget. However, the project will also increase safety on the
Highway 9 for bicyclists and may reduce accidents.

Project Name Prospect Road Medians Project Number 9132-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Iveta Harvancik
Description This project funds construction of medians on Prospect Avenue.
Location This project is located on Prospect Avenue between Saratoga Avenue and Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road.
Project
Background
In the 1970s, a median was installed on Prospect Avenue between Saratoga Creek and Titus Avenue.
Since then, residents in the area have shown increasing interest in expanding this median along
Prospect Avenue and adding landscaping.
In response to the growing demand for landscaped medians on Prospect Avenue, the City included the
Prospect Road Median project in the five year CIP in 2001. Residents in Saratoga and San Jose
responded favorably, submitting a petition in favor of the median signed by 270 residents from both
cities.
Saratoga then developed a master plan for the Prospect Avenue medians, which the Council approved
in 2008. The plan calls for construction of 17 landscaped medians along 2.5 mile stretch of Prospect
Avenue between Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road and Saratoga Avenue. The first of these medians, number
11 located between Titus Avenue and Provincetown Drive, was built in 2009. There are approximately
4.5 miles of landscaped medians in the City.
Staff is seeking funding opportunities to complete the Prospect Avenue Median master plan and
funding been set aside for this project to be used for matching grants.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will increase maintenance expenses, as medians and landscaping will need to be cared for.
However, the median will also increase driver, pedestrian, and bicyclist safety along Prospect Avenue
by regulating the traffic traveling across Prospect. Additionally, the construction of landscaped
medians on Prospect Avenue will enhance the beauty of this section of Saratoga.

Project Name Village Façade Program Project Number 9132-005
Department City Manager’s Office Project Manager Crystal Morrow
Description This program is intended to enhance the beauty of Saratoga Village by offering an incentive to
business and property owners to make façade improvements that maintain the historic character and
charm of the Village.
Location This program serves properties located in the Saratoga Village on or visible from Big Basin Way.
Project
Background
In 2004, the City of Saratoga began the Village Façade Improvement Program to revitalize the
downtown area and encourage private investment in the Village Commercial District that runs along
Big Basin Way in the City’s downtown area. Property owners or business owners can receive up to a
50% reimbursement for the cost of making improvements to the façade of their buildings. The
maximum award is $5,000.
Only properties located on or visible from Big Basin Way qualify for Village Façade Improvement
Program funding. Eligible projects range from exterior paint, installation of awnings, improvements to
sidewalk seating areas, signage, enhancement to doors and windows, and installation of exterior
planter boxes.
Initial funding for the program lasted one year and resulted in over $600,000 in private investment in
the Village. Funding was then restored in 2007 when Council allocated $20,000 to the program. Since
then the City has award three Village Façade Improvement grants that have generated more than
$18,000 in private improvements to the Village’s appearance.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will increase the beauty of the Saratoga Village, the City’s downtown area, and
consequently attract retail and shoppers. Staff time spent overseeing the program is incorporated in the
operating budget.

Project Name Village LED Street Lights Project Number 9142-005
Department Public Works Project Manager Shawn Gardiner
Description This project will replace existing High Pressure Sodium street lights in the Village with LED lights.
Location This project is located in Saratoga Village.
Project
Background
This project is funded by an Energy Efficiency Block Grant (EECBG), which is a program established
by the federal Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to reduce fossil fuel emissions in an
environmentally sustainable manner, reduce energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency in the
building, transportation, and other appropriate sectors. The program received funding when the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was passed.
Large municipalities, Indian tribes, and states received a direct allocation of EEBCG funds for energy
efficiency projects. Each state also received money to be allocated to small cities and counties. The
California Energy Commission is responsible for distributing monies to small California
municipalities.
Saratoga was eligible to receive just over $169,000 for cost effective energy efficiency projects. In
December 2009, Council adopted a resolution authorizing use of these to replace the current High
Pressure Sodium street lights in the Village with light-emitting diode (LED) street lights.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will significantly reduce City resources, including money and staff time, spent
maintaining the street lights in the Village. The City currently spends $5,000 per year to maintain the
High Pressure Sodium lights in the Village area. The LED lights have much a much longer lifespan
than High Pressure Sodium lights, so regular maintenance and replacement expenses will decline.
Additionally, the City will use 50% less energy to power the street lights in the Village and will be able
to switch to a lower PG&E billing rate. The City may also qualify for a small project rebate from
PG&E for upgrading the Village street lights.

Project Name Annual Sidewalk Repairs Project Number 9141-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Rick Torres
Description This project funds repair of the City’s sidewalks.
Location This project is conducted on an ongoing basis throughout the City.
Project
Background
Each year, staff conducts assessments of the City’s sidewalks to identify areas of sidewalk in need of
repair. City staff pays particular attention to severely damaged areas or those that present a tripping
hazard.
Work is conducted continuously through the year. Most work is performed by contractors; however,
staff will address smaller projects or those that require immediate attention. Approximately 35,000
square feet of sidewalk is repaired each year. There is approximately 17 linear miles of sidewalk in
Saratoga.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Annual sidewalk repairs ensure that the City’s sidewalks are maintained in good condition, minimizing
the need for larger and more costly improvement projects in the future. Additionally, repairs to City
sidewalks minimize tripping hazards and reduce liability expenses.

Project Name Annual Storm Drain Upgrades Project Number 9141-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Rick Torres
Description This project funds repairs and upgrades to the City’s storm drains.
Location This project encompasses storm drains located through the City.
Project
Background
Storm drains are inspected by the City of Saratoga Public Works Department and West Valley
Sanitation District to identify storm drains that have failed. Sections of storm drain that have failed,
which often results in flooding, are either replaced or repaired to prevent future failure. Frequently,
corrugated metal pipe corrode and are replaced with plastic or plastic lined pipes that are protected
from rust and therefore have a longer lifespan.
There are 2600 storm drains located in the City and the Saratoga storm drain system is approximately
45 miles long. Maintenance work of these storm drains is conducted by contractors.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Annual upgrades and repairs to the City’s storm drains helps to keep them functioning properly,
thereby reducing expenses associated with failed storm drains. Failed storm drains often result in
floods that can cause significant damage, including sink holes in roadways and damage to private
property. Maintaining storm drains in good operating condition protects the City from these repair and
liability costs.

Project Name El Quito Curb and Gutter Project Number 9142-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Rick Torres
Description This is an ongoing project for the repair and replacement of curbs and gutters in the El Quito
neighborhood.
Location This project is located in the El Quito neighborhood in Saratoga.
Project
Background
Identified locations in the El Quito neighborhood that require curb and gutter improvements. Repairs
and replacement are prioritized in coordination with the Annual Street Resurfacing program.
Curbs and gutters need to be maintained on a regular basis for a variety of reasons. Ongoing repairs
prevent flooding by improving water runoff infrastructure. Additionally, well maintained curbs and
gutters improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by reducing tripping hazards. Damage to curbs and
gutters is most frequently caused by tree roots.
The El Quito neighborhood is being targeted for curb and gutter repairs, because much of this section
of Saratoga has rolled style curbs and gutters. As they age, the City replaces them with the standard
vertical curb and gutter. Vertical curbs and gutters provide greater control of runoff water flow. This is
especially important in the El Quito neighborhood that is relatively flat. Additionally, vertical curbs are
generally more durable.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project helps to reduce tripping hazards caused by uneven curb and gutter surfaces, making it
safer for pedestrians and bicyclists in the El Quito area. Furthermore, installation of vertical curbs will
reduce the potential for localized flooding in this neighborhood. Engineering staff time for project
design and oversight are incorporated in the operating budget.

Project Name Village Sidewalk & Pedestrian Enhancements Project Number 9142-004
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project funds sidewalk and pedestrian safety improvements in the Village.
Location This project will make improvements in Saratoga Village at Big Basin Way and Highway 9, Big Basin
Way and Blaney Plaza, Big Basin Way and 3rd Street, and Big Basin Way and 4th Street.
Project
Background
In 2008, the City entered into a contract with Gates and Associates to design improvements to the
Village that would increase pedestrian safety and the beauty of the City’s downtown area. The design
includes pedestrian bulb-outs and enhanced crosswalks that will make pedestrians more visible to
drivers. Plans also include additional landscaping, benches, and bike racks.
Following the award of contract with Gates and Associations for design work, the City held two
community meetings to explain the purpose of the project and seek public input on the design of the
sidewalk and pedestrian improvements. A conceptual design was presented to Council in April 2009
and the detailed design will be finished by the end of the 2009/2010 fiscal year.
Once design work is complete, construction work will begin. The project will be managed by staff and
work will be performed by contractors. Funding for this project comes from a Federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant, the State, and the City.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will result in increased maintenance expenses, as the City will be responsible for caring
for added landscaping, bulb outs, crosswalks, and other features. However, the project will also make
significant improvements to pedestrian safety in the Village by increasing visibility of pedestrians.
Additionally, the enhancements to pedestrian safety and the appearance of the Saratoga Village may
make it a more popular retail and dining destination.

Project Name Saratoga Avenue Sidewalk Project Number 9142-005
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project will install new sections of sidewalk on Saratoga Avenue.
Location This project is located on Saratoga Avenue between Heritage Oak and Orchard Road.
Project
Background
Since 1992, the City has been adding new sections of sidewalk along Saratoga Avenue using TDA
funds to create a continuous sidewalk between the Village and Quito Road. When TDA funding is
received, the City identifies gaps in the sidewalk on Saratoga Avenue and uses TDA monies to fill
these gaps.
Sidewalks offer a number of benefits. They provide a safe walking path for pedestrians away from the
roadway and make it easier for residents in wheelchairs or other wheeled devices to travel in the City.
Furthermore, extension of the City’s sidewalk system increases the walk ability of Saratoga and adds
to the recreational opportunities available to residents.
Work for this project is conducted by a contractor and managed by City staff.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Extension of the Saratoga Avenue sidewalk will increase the City’s maintenance costs. However, the
sidewalk expansion will also increase pedestrian safety on Saratoga Avenue by establishing a safe
route for walking along this arterial road in Saratoga. Project management costs are included in the
operating budget.

Project Name Monte Vista Storm Drain Project Number
Department Public Works Project Manager Iveta Harvancik
Description This project funds installation of a storm drain on Monte Vista Drive and El Camino Grande.
Location This project is located on Monte Vista Drive east of Via Volina, near El Camino Grande.
Project
Background
The Monte Vista neighborhood is one of the few remaining neighborhoods in Saratoga without a storm
drain system. During years of high rainfall, localized flooding on roadways has occurred.
Work on this project will be separated into two phases. For phase I, the City plans to install a pump
that will automatically turn on when runoff water reach a certain level. The pump will direct water to
an existing storm drain inlet on El Camino Grande thereby keeping Monte Vista Drive clear of storm
water during heavy rains.
When funds become available, the City will be able to carry out phase II and resolve the problem on a
long term basis by extending the storm drain system to this neighborhood. Due to the topography and
existing available City right-of-way, the new storm drain system would have to connect to the drainage
system on Highway 9. This will require about 2,400 feet of newly installed drain pipes and
approximately four new manholes and six drain inlets. Additional manholes may be necessary due to
existing underground utilities in the project area.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will reduce isolated flooding in the Monte Vista neighborhood and consequently reduce
damage and liability expenses, particularly during winter storms. However, the pump will require some
maintenance. When the added section of storm drain is installed it will also increase City maintenance
expenses. Engineering and project management costs will be accounted for in the operating budget.

Project Name Canyon View/Elva Storm Drain Project Number 9142-009
Department Public Works Project Manager Rick Torres
Description This project funds removal, replacement, and repair of the storm drain near Canyon View Drive and
Elva Avenue.
Location This project is located next to the intersection of Canyon View Drive and Elva Avenue.
Project
Background
In early 2010, a section of storm drain near Canyon View Drive and Elva Avenue failed. The
corrugated metal pipe used to carry storm water had eroded. The erosion in the pipe consequently
resulted in a cavity in the soil.
The metal storm drain pipe will be repaired and replaced with materials that have a minimum 100 year
lifespan. The lifespan of corrugated metal pipe is between 25 to 50 years. Over time, the underground
runoff water that travels through the storm drain cause metal pipes to erode and leaks develop. When
the leaks become severe, they can cause sink holes or soil erosion.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Repair and replacement of the storm drain near Canyon View and Elva will prevent further soil
erosion. Additionally, the new storm drain materials have a much longer lifespan that the metal
corrugated storm drain currently in place. Consequently, the new section of storm drain is also
expected to reduce maintenance expenses.

Project Name Fourth Street Bridge Project Number 9152-001
Department Public Works Project Manager John Cherbone
Description This project will widen the bridge at 4th Street in Saratoga.
Location This project is located on 4th Street near Wildwood Park in the Saratoga Village.
Project
Background
The 4th Street Bridge was constructed in 1939 and crosses Saratoga Creek near the entrance to
Wildwood Park. This project will widen the bridge to accommodate a sidewalk for pedestrian traffic.
Additionally, this project will include structural improvements to bring the bridge in compliance with
current standards. A CalTrans review of Saratoga bridges in 2004 listed the 4th Street Bridge as being
in “generally good condition.”
Funding for the project comes primarily from the Federal Highway Bridge Replacement and
Rehabilitation (HBRR) program. HBRR monies account for 80% of total project costs. The remaining
20% will be funded by the City.
There are 20 bridges located in the City. Nine of the bridges pass over Saratoga Creek.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will increase safety for pedestrians walking across the 4th Street Bridge and subsequently
reduce City liability expenses. Costs associated with project design and management have been
included in the City operating budget.

Project Name Quito Road Bridges Project Number 9152-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project funds removal and replacement of two bridges on Quito Road.
Location This project is located on Quito Road.
Project
Background
The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) conducted a structural assessment of the two
bridges on Quito Road and rated them to be replaced. Additionally, the bridges are not wide enough to
meet standards set by CalTrans for roadway size.
Both bridges pass over San Tomas Creek, which flows through Saratoga, Campbell, Los Gatos, Monte
Sereno, San Jose, and Santa Clara. Funding to remove and replace the existing bridges comes from the
State Highway Bridge Program.
There are a total of 20 bridges in Saratoga. Four of these bridges pass over San Tomas Creek.
Operating
Budget Impacts
This project will bring the width of the Quito Road bridges in compliance with State roadway
standards, which will ultimately increase safety for people using Quito Road. Costs associated with
project management are incorporated in the operating budget and the cost of construction will be
covered entirely by the Highway Bridge Program.

STREET UNDERGROUNDING P ROJECTS
Project Name Rule 20A Undergrounding Project Project Number 9171-001
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project will fund undergrounding of utilities in Saratoga.
Location One or more locations for this project are to be determined.
Project
Background
Each year, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) allocates undergrounding work credits to Saratoga and
other municipalities to provide funding for construction of underground utilities. The credits for these
allocations are provided through PG&E’s Rule 20A program, which is an electric tariff filed with the
California Public Utilities Commission. As a result of the Rule 20A program, PG&E is able to fund
relocation of approximately 30 miles of overhead utilities underground annually. Rule 20A funding
comes from electric rate payers.
Before Rule20A work credits can be used, proposed undergrounding projects must be approved by
PG&E. Projects must reduce an unusually heavy concentration of overhead power lines, be conducted
on arterial streets with high pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or be done on roads that are in a civic,
recreational, or scenic area.
Due to the very high cost of undergrounding, Saratoga has been collecting Rule 20A credits over the
past few years to allow for a more substantial undergrounding project in the City.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Moving overhead utilities underground will make the City more attractive and will reduce safety risks
associated with down power lines. Fallen power lines can be especially problematic during winter
storms. Project management costs are already included in the operating budget.

Project Name Quito Road Undergrounding Project Project Number 9171-002
Department Public Works Project Manager Macedonio Nunez
Description This project will fund undergrounding of utilities on Quito Road in Saratoga.
Location Undergrounding work would take place on Quito Road near Twin Creeks Road.
Project
Background
Several years ago, the City received funds to conduct undergrounding of utilities on Quito Road near
Twin Creeks Road as a result of a subdivision. In recent years, municipalities and Pacific Gas &
Electric (PG&E) have started moving overhead utility lines underground.
Due to the high costs of undergrounding, transferring the overhead utilities at this location will have to
be incorporated into a larger undergrounding project.
Operating
Budget Impacts
Moving overhead utilities underground will make the City more attractive and will reduce safety risks
associated with down power lines. Fallen power lines can be especially problematic during winter
storms. Project management costs are already included in the operating budget.
