RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the Olympic Corridor Trail Connector Study, AUTHORIZE staff to seek funding for detailed project planning, design, and implementation, and seek subsequent Board approval for specific project elements as appropriate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. Staff time for recommended activities are covered under existing budgets (50% Road Fund and 50% Measure J Fund)
BACKGROUND:
Using Measure J - TLC Grant funds that were awarded to the County by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), the Olympic Corridor Trail Connector Study (OCTCS) (Exhibit A) was undertaken to address a bicycle and pedestrian network gap along the Olympic Boulevard corridor. The gap is from the Lafayette-Moraga Trail (LMT) in the City of Lafayette, through the unincorporated areas of Saranap and Parkmead, to the Iron Horse Trail (IHT) in the City of Walnut Creek.
