AGENDA STATEMENT
. CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 28,1995
SUBJECT: Support of East Bay Regional Park District and Alameda County
Applications for ISTEA Funding for Two Bicycle Paths:
Iron Horse Trail from Dougherty Road to East Dublin BART Station
and North Side of Dublin Boulevard from Tassajara Creek to East
Dublin BART Station
Report Prepared by: Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director
EXHIBITS ATTACHED: 1) I Resolution: Iron Horse Trail Bike Path (EBRPD)
2) / Resolution: Dublin Blvd. Bike Path (Alameda Co.)
3) / Location Map
RECOMMENDA TION: ~ Adopt resolutions
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
These resolutions support applications for ISTEA funding for two
other agencies. The City is not required to provide any local
matching funds. The Iron Horse Trail bike path local match will be
provided by the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), who will
ultimately also maintain the bike path. (See below for conditions
attached to this transaction.) Alameda County will provide the local
matching funds for the Dublin Boulevard bike path; however, this
path will be dedicated to the City as part of the Dublin Boulevard
right-of-way, and the City will ultimately incur maintenance costs.
.
DESCRIPTION: Staffis requesting that the City Council support EBRPD and
Alameda County applications for ISTEA (Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act) funding for
two bicycle path projects.
The first project is a bicycle path along Alameda County's portion of the old railroad right-of-way (Iron
Horse Trail) from Dougherty Road to the East Dublin BART Station. This path is a cooperative project
with the EBRPD, the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LA VT A), and BART. EPRPD will
ultimately be responsible for maintenance of the bicycle path. Staffis recommending that a condition be
placed upon the City's participation in the project to guarantee that if the right-of-way for the path is
purchased from the County, the City will receive rights over the County right-of-way to install the
connector road between Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road. The reason for this stipulation is that the
City would like the ability to relocate the bike path in the event that its location conflicts with the future

street. The Iron Horse Trail is on the City's master trail plan! and has been a goal of the City Council for
several years.
The second project is a bicycle path along the north side of Dublin Boulevard between Tassajara Creek and
the East Dublin BART Station. Alameda County will provide the local matching funds for this project and
will dedicate the bicycle path to the City. The City will ultimately incur maintenance costs for this bicycle
path. As the Tassajara Creek Trail cannot pass under 1-580 to connect with the Iron Horse Trail, it is
proposed to connect the Tassajara Creek Trail to the BART station al"ong the north side of Dublin
Boulevard by widening the normal sidewalk area.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions.
