RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/43 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 Driftwood Drive and Mariners Cove Drive Pedestrian Improvements Project.


APPROVE the Driftwood Drive and Mariners Cove Drive Pedestrian Improvements Project and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Bay Point area. [County Project No. WO1025, DCD-CP#22-04] (District V).

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: $232,000. This Project will be funded by approximately 43% TDA Funds and 57% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the Project is to improve pedestrian infrastructure in Bay Point by installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps with detectable warning surfaces at curb returns with either non-existent or substandard curb ramps along Driftwood Drive and Mariners Cove Drive. Five crosswalks will also be installed along Mariners Cove Drive and stop bars at these intersections will be set back to minimize pedestrian conflicts with vehicles. This Project will improve the neighborhood’s pedestrian connectivity and will enable mobility-impaired residents to safely maneuver the sidewalks to access the nearby trail network and locally significant destinations.

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.
