Approval of the recommended action will authorize the purchase of additional right-of-way required to install an eight-phase traffic signal with protected left-turn phasing at the intersection of Bethel Avenue and Mountain View Avenue (shown on Exhibit A, attached).
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
The Board may reject the purchase of this right-of-way. This would prevent the County from obtaining the necessary right-of-way to proceed with the project.
