DESCRIPTION: City Staff has submitted the Alamo Canal Bicycle Path Capital Improvement Project to the Audit Committee of the Alameda County Transportation Advisory Comm¡L~ee (ACTAC) for consideration for Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 funding. Alameda County and the cities within Alameda County compete for TDA funding, which is available for certain pedestrian and bicycle projects, on an annual basis. If approved, project funding for the current application would be available in the 1997-98 fiscal year. Within Dublin, the Alamo Canal Bicycle Path rW1S north from 1-580 at the City of Pleasant on city limit, continuing north along Alameda County-Zone 7 rights-of-way, north to the San Ramon city limit. -- -- Originally, the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton had requested ISTEA and TDA funding for this project, which includes extension of the bicycle path within the City of Pleasant on and Zone 7 right-of-way. The City of P1easanton acted as lead agency on the Alan10 Canal Bicycle Path Project, which received funding through ISTEA and TDA grants. The project was scheduled for completion in the 1996-97 fiscal year: however, due to heavy rains, canal banks eroded. Notice was received from Alameda County-Zone 7 requesting deferral of path construction until erosion repairs could be completed. The Zone 7 request did not affect construction of bridges and underpasses that was associated with the Alamo Canal Bicycle Path. ----------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. 4.6 g:agenmisc\apptda As a result of the Zone 7 request, the project was divided into two phases. The first phase included construction of the bridges and underpasses. The second phase will pave the path and install drainage improvements, which will complete the project. The first phase included two bridges and an underpass constructed within the City of Dublin's jurisdiction and is complete. One bridge links the Alamo Canal Bicycle Path to Dublin High School, while the second bridge provides a connection over Alamo Canal. The underpass is constructed under Dublin Boulevard. As a result of deferring construction of the path, costs anticipated by Zone 7 and the City of Pleasanton for tl1Îs j oint agency proj ect were exceeded. As a result, the City of Dublin is requesting an additional $67,843 in TDA funding to complete the second phase of the bicycle path project. Dublin Staff plans to complete the remaining design and construction of the bicycle path within Dublin, and Pleasanton will complete their portion. In addition to TDA funding, some of the ISTEA programmed funding is still available. The Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton were originally awarded $630,000 in ISTEA funds for this project. Of the total ISTEA funding, the City of Dublin has a balance of $57,300 remaining for this bicycle path project. The $57,300 in ISTEA funding, together with the $67,843 in TDA funding, will complete Dublin's portion of the project. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution directing Staff to apply to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for this TDA Article 3 funding for the Alamo Canal Bicycle Patl1 project. .-.
