Median Modifications and Road Improvements at Chess Drive and Foster City Blvd (CIP 301-635 & CIP 301-637)

The Median Modification and Road Improvements at Chess Drive and Foster City Boulevard Project is the combining of CIP 301-635 and 301-637. The two projects were developed as part of the Engineering Feasibility Study Final Report (May 2009) to address traffic related impacts from proposed development projects in Foster City. The projects are identified as Multi-Project #3, #4, #7, and #8 in the study. The project is being designed by the City’s design consultant, BKF Engineers, and the scope involves:

• MP #3: The project will lengthen northbound left-turn lane on Foster City Boulevard at Chess Drive. Increasing the length of the existing 525-foot northbound left-turn lanes from Foster City Boulevard at Chess Drive to 650-feet will prevent queues from extending out of the turn lanes and blocking through traffic on Foster City Boulevard.
• MP #4: The scope of work for MP #4 includes lengthening the westbound left turn lane on Chess Drive at Foster City Boulevard.
• MP #7: The project will construct a dedicated lengthen northbound right-turn lane on Foster City Boulevard at Chess Drive.
• MP #8: Includes adding a second westbound lane on Chess Drive east of Foster City Boulevard.

In addition, the project will integrate green infrastructure design elements to meet the County regulatory requirements.
