AGENDA STATEMENT
City Council Meeting Date: December 21, 1989
SUBJECT: Authorization to Apply for Funding for Transportation
Development Act Projects
(Report by Public Works Director Lee Thompson)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION: ' Adopt Resolution directing Staff to apply for funding.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City has requested $75,000 TDA funding for each
project, which would cover the estimated cost of each
of the two projects.
DESCRIPTION:
City Staff has submitted two projects for consideration for Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funding. The maximum funding that any one project can
receive is $75,000. If approved, this funding would be available in the
1990-91 fiscal year.
1) Catch Basin Grate Replacement Program, Phase II: This program provides
for the phased replacement of existing catch basin grates with a new standard
bicycle grate. The City has received TDA funding approval for the first phase
of the project, which is currently out to bid, and the grates are expected to
be installed early in 1990. The first phase is expected to provide grates for
approximately half of the existing catch basins in the City, depending on the
bid price received; the second phase would be expected to provide grates for
the remaining basins. This project is presently in the five-year Capital
Improvement Program, scheduled for 1990-91, and funding is indicated from the
General Fund.
2) Dougherty Road Bike Path, Phase II: This project would construct a two-
way bike path along the east side of Dougherty Road, from the end of the Phase
I bike path at Amador Valley Boulevard to the intersection of Willow Creek
Drive. This would provide a bikeway approximately halfway to the City Limit
Line from Amador Valley Boulevard. A future project would complete
construction of the bike path to the City Limit line and connect to a future
bike path indicated on the Contra Costa County Bike Way Plan. This path, when
complete, would become an interconnecting bicycle transportation route. This
project is not presently in the five-year Capital Improvement Program and, if
funded, would need to be included in next year's update.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution directing Staff to
apply for TDA funding for these projects.
