RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/43 to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2021/2022 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $100,000 for the fiscal year 2021/2022 for the Bixler Road and Regatta Drive Intersection Improvements Project.  
  

APPROVE the Bixler Road and Regatta Drive Intersection Improvements Project and take related actions under the California Environmental Quality Act, and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project. Discovery Bay area. [County Project No. WO1025, DCD-CP#21-01] (District III).  





RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
  
DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), 15301 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: $230,000. This project will be funded by approximately 56.5% Local Road Funds and 43.5% Transportation Development Act Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian safety at the intersection of Bixler Road and Regatta Drive. There is currently a crosswalk at this intersection that connects residents from the west side of Bixler Road to access the post office and shopping center on the east side of Bixler Road. Bixler Road is a collector street that feeds directly into Highway 4 and experiences high speeds and a high volume of vehicular traffic during peak hours of travel. The project would provide infrastructure improvements such as Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFBs) at each end of the pedestrian crosswalk and in the center median island, advanced road markings, a concrete median pedestrian refuge, and a 6-foot wide, 140-foot long Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant concrete pedestrian path along the east side of Bixler Road. North of the intersection, striping and pavement markings will be applied to discourage motorists from traveling outside the designated travel lane.  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CEQA clearance is a requirement for Transportation Development Act (TDA) grant eligibility. If TDA funding is not obtained this project will not be constructed.
