RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No.2018/42 to approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2018/2019 Transportation Development Act Grant Application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $100,000, for the Imhoff Drive Bicycle Shoulder Striping Project; and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Unincorporated Vine Hill area. [DCD-CP#18-01] (District V); and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(c) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines; and

DIRECT the Director of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk; and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $144,000. This project will be funded approximately 69% Transportation Development Act Funds and 31% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to improve bicyclist safety along Imhoff Drive between Blum Road and Waterbird Way in unincorporated Martinez. Currently, there are no bicycle facilities along Imhoff Drive between Blum Road and Waterbird Way, but the State Route (SR) 4 Bikeway begins east of Waterbird Way. The proposed Project would allow bicyclists to safely access the SR 4 Bikeway, which connects the City of Martinez to the City of Concord. The Project will stripe shoulders to create Class II bike lanes for 0.3 miles along Imhoff Drive from Blum Road to Waterbird Way within the existing roadway. Existing vehicle lane widths would be narrowed to accommodate the increased shoulder width, which will vary from three to five feet. Appropriate signage will be installed to designate the proposed bike lanes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
