City Council Meeting Date: October 26, 1986
SUBJECT: Transportation Development Act (TDA) Projects
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: /Adopt lution Directing Staff to Apply for Funding
RECOMMENDATION: Resolution
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The City is requesting 100% TDA funding.
DESCRIPTION:
City Staff is planning to submit two projects for consideration for
Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding. Under the current TDA policy, a
City can submit three projects for consideration, but only two could be
funded. Projects are funded if they receive .a high enough priority rating
competing against other projects within Alameda County. A project can receive
up to $75,000 in TDA funding.
For the 1987-88 Fiscal Year, two projects were funded - the Dougherty
Road Bike Path, Phase 1 ($75,000), and Handicap Curb Ramps, Phase 2 ($70,000).
Proposed projects for TDA funding consideration for 1988-89 are as follows:
1. Handicap Curb Ramps, Phase 3: This project provides for the
construction of handicap curb ramps at various intersections throughout the
City as a continuation of the program commenced during Fiscal Year 1984-85.
Under that project, about 65 handicap curb ramps were constructed. The City
is currently planning construction of about 120 handicap curb ramps under the
Phase 2 project.
2. Catch Basin Grate Replacement Program, Phase 1: This program would
provide for the phased replacement of existing catch basin grates with a new
standard bicycle grate. The first phase will include existing designated bike
routes. Prior to incorporation, Alameda County had modified existing catch
basin grates by adding steel bars in order to make them safer for bicyclists.
Over the years, many of these bars have broken loose. These modified grates
present a constant maintenance problem.
This Resolution directs Staff to apply for TDA funding for these
projects.
