RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/44 to APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit a 2022/2023 Transportation Development Act (TDA) Grant Application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the total amount of $100,000 for fiscal year 2022/2023 for the Livorna Road Shoulder Widening Project.


APPROVE the Livorna Road Shoulder Widening Project and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Alamo area. [County Project No. WO1025, DCD-CP#22-01] (District II)

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: $160,000. This Project will be funded by approximately 63% TDA Funds and 37% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to improve bicyclist safety by widening the roadway shoulder on a 200-foot segment of Livorna Road as identified in the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan. The Project will widen the southern shoulder of the road segment to a uniform 5-foot shoulder for bicyclist travel, completing bicycle accessibility from I-680 to the County boundary directly west of Serafix Road.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CEQA clearance is a requirement for TDA grant eligibility. If TDA funding is not obtained, the Project will not be constructed.
