Status as of June 30, 2021
Project was deferred in FY 2019-20 and the funding was reallocated to the Mission Road Project in FY 2019-20.
Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter
For FY 2021-22, the Public Works Department identified the 300 Block of F Street is in need of a mill and fill, (minor roadway reconstruction). Construction documents are estimated to be completed in the Fall/Winter of 2021 and the construction is to take place in the Spring of 2022.
Impact on Operation
An effective roadway maintenance program includes minor repairs as part of the operating budget and major rehabilitation as part of the Annual Roadway Rehabilitation and Preventative Program. By rehabilitating the roadway when needed, the Town is able to maintain the annual roadway repairs budget to $95,900.
Project Funding and Spending Plan

F-Street Retaining Wall (902)
Project Scope
In 2019 the Colma Engineering Department surveyed the retaining wall on F Street. It was determined that the failure we are experiencing in the structure is most likely due to poor drainage, thus causing the wall to deteriorate. The first phase of the project is design, specifications, plans and construction estimates. The second phase includes soliciting bids for construction and construction management services.
Status as of June 30, 2021
This project is a priority project. The design phase and Plan, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) will be completed by early Summer of 2021. The construction phase is slated for the Fall of 2021.
Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter
Construction documents will be assembled and ready to bid by August or September 2021. It is anticipated that the start of construction will commence in the September time frame and be completed by the November/December time frame. It is estimated that the project will take approximately 60 calendar days.
Impact on Operation
The project will decrease maintenance on and around the wall. The one item that will have to be continually watched and maintained is the drainage system.

Lawndale and El Camino Real Landscape and Median (956)
Scheduled for FY 2022-23
Estimated Project Cost: $2.75 million ($150,000 projected for FY 2022-23)
Project Scope:
Median landscapes along Lawndale Boulevard and El Camino Real are in need of rehabilitation. As a result of the severe drought in recent years, the State of California has levied irrigation restrictions that prevent cities from irrigating its street medians with turf. This resulted in many of the vegetation in the Town’s medians along Lawndale Boulevard and El Camino Real will need significant maintenance efforts in order to avoid the area being overtaken by intrusive vegetation. Additionally, the landscape along the backside of the sidewalk along the Northside of Lawndale Boulevard will also need to be addressed in all phases of this project.
- Phase 1 is the conceptual review of the landscaping and public use and enhancement on Lawndale Boulevard and El Camino Real - completed in FY 2019-20.
- Phase 2 will provide “Shovel Ready” project plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) and preparing a bid package - tentative scheduled for FY 2023-24.
- Phase 3 is the construction phase, which includes awarding the contract, and building and inspection services, and construction - future unfunded $2.6 million.
The study will also focus on green infrastructure possibilities, stormwater enhancements, and recreational features. Grant opportunities may be available for Phase 3 of this project.
Status as of June 30, 2021:
The conceptual design (Phase 1) was completed and approved in FY 2019-20. The design phase was deferred due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter
This project is a restoration of the existing Lawndale Boulevard Landscape Improvement Project (956). The construction phase of the project (Phase 3) is currently unfunded. Staff will be looking for funding opportunities to help assist with the construction costs. The feasibility/conceptual study (Phase 1) was completed and approved in FY 2019/20. The development of the PS&E (Phase 2) will begin in 2023/2024. The construction Phase will be evaluated after the completion of PS&E and will depend on available funding and Town’s priorities.
Impact on Operation
The rehabilitation of the landscape and median along Lawndale Boulevard and El Camino Real with drought-resistant vegetation will increase the aesthetic of the roadway, provide safe crossing, and reduce the cost of landscape maintenance.

El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan (914)
Close by July 1, 2021
Project Scope
The El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan will provide guidelines and directives for a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian safety program along a portion of the El Camino Real corridor, (State Route 82) in the Town of Colma, from Daly City to South San Francisco. The project will strive to improve community mobility along this portion of the roadway by creating a vision to increase and enhance various modes of transportation, including walking and bicycling, while providing opportunities to increase ridership on public transportation. The study will review and implement the standards and goals that are stated in the California Transportation Plan 2040, California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, Caltrans District 4 Bicycle Plan, San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, and Grand Boulevard Initiatives’ Goals. Community outreach is included in the study from residents and businesses.
Status as of June 30, 2021
Since this project is completed, the next step in this process will be to take a construction phasing approach to this project, thus creating several future projects through a phasing approach. By doing so, this will also allow staff to apply for grants specifically as they may apply to that phase.
Schedule for FY 2021-22 and Thereafter
None.
Impact on Operation
The completed plan will assist the Town in the design and construction of a safer bicycle and pedestrian path, which will mitigate the risk of accident and control the Town’s costs in annual insurance premiums and claims.
