City Boulevard at the intersection to reinforce the pedestrian right of way. This
recommendation is valued at approximately $400 in materials, labor, and equipment.
2. Install pedestrian barricades on the south side of National City Boulevard at the

recommendation is valued at approximately $1,000 in materials, labor, and equipment.
3. Install advanced warning signs with "PED XING" pavement markings on National City
Boulevard for both approaches, in advance of the intersection. This recommendation is
valued at approximately $700 in materials, labor, and equipment.
