SUBJECT: De Portola Road/Jedediah Smith Road Roundabout Project Update
PREPARED BY: Nick Minicilli, Senior Traffic Engineer
Erick Escobedo, Associate Civil Engineer
RECOMMENDATION: That the Traffic Safety Commission receive and file the report.
BACKGROUND: The De Portola Road/Jedediah Smith Road Roundabout Project, PW23-01,
includes the design and construction of a single lane vehicular roundabout at this intersection to
improve traffic congestion, reduce delays, enhance traffic safety, and maintain the natural beauty
and rural character of the surrounding community.
On May 14, 2024, the Department of Public Works selected GHD, Inc. (GHD) as the design
consultant responsible for delivering full construction documents after an extensive Request for
Proposal process. GHD provides transportation engineering, environmental advisory, digital,
utility, and construction services to public clients throughout California. GHD has successfully
designed numerous roundabouts throughout California and are recognized in the industry as
roundabout experts.
On December 17, 2024, City staff in conjunction with GHD, led a stakeholder meeting with the
Los Ranchitos community. At this meeting, the City provided a project update and presented a
conceptual roundabout design. Staff listened to feedback and answered questions regarding the
proposed roundabout.
Environmental documentation has been completed with California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) Categorical Exemption approval. The design team is currently seeking National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval through HUD. The project is currently in 60% design
with anticipated final design completion in the Summer of 2025. After the City Council approves
the final design, the City will seek bids for construction.
Staff recommend the Commission receive and file this report on the De Portola Road/Jedediah
Smith Road Roundabout Project Update.
