The California Transportation Commission is the policy body designated to implement

evaluated by the Caltrans Office of Bicycle Facilities. The maximum commitment for
Proposition 116 funs for each project in 1992-93 is limited to $750,000.
The City will be applying for approximately $150,000 in funds to construct a bike
path on the east bank of the Alamo Creek Canal from the City of Pleasanton limit to
the Alamo Creek Canal Bridge over Dublin Boulevard. City Staff will do part of the
design and the rest will be contracted out. The project will be the first phase of
a canal bike path which will be built from the southern Dublin limit to the
northern Dublin city limit. The bike path will be the middle link in a Tri-Valley
regional bike path which will connect Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon and Danville
bike facilities. The regional bike facility will connect schools and commercial
areas to residential areas.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution directing Staff to apply
for Proposition 116 funding for this project.
