RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2019/43 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 $100,000 for the fiscal year 2019/2020 for the Oak Road Bikeway Project.


AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Walnut Creek area. [County Project No. 0676-6P1025, DCD-CP#18-47] (District IV).

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: $167,000. This project will be funded approximately, 60% Transportation Development Act Funds, 40% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to improve bicyclist safety along a 2,040-foot segment of Oak Road as currently there are no existing bicycle facilities.

The project will stripe Class II bicycle lanes and place shared roadway markings (sharrows) to designate Class III bike routes within the existing roadway. Class II bike lanes will be striped where adequate roadway width is available. Vehicle lane widths will be narrowed to 11 feet as needed to accommodate the new Class II bike lanes, and Class III sharrows will be used in places where there is insufficient width assuming existing on-street parking will remain.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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