RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution. No. 2019/33 approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2019/2020 Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $94,500 for fiscal year 2019/2020 for the Contra Costa County Active Transportation Plan, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project will be funded approximately by 78% State Grant Funds, 20% Transportation Development Act Grant Funds, and 2% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the proposed planning study is to highlight locations in unincorporated Contra Costa County where multi-modal infrastructure is deficient or nonexistent. Capital projects at these locations will then be prioritized through development of a rubric that considers collision history, high demand locations, cost, ease of construction, and ability to close gaps in infrastructure. The result of the study will be a database and map of proposed improvements rated into three tiers based upon priority. Staff has applied for a State funded grant to provide a majority of the funding for this study. TDA and local road funds would be combined to provide local matching funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the submittal of the grant application will result in a delay in the planning study and will jeopardize funding.
