RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2017/82 approving and authorizing the Public Works Director, or designee, to file an application for the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 funding for the Pacheco Boulevard Sidewalk Gap Closure Phase III Project for $619,000 and committing local support and assurance to complete the project. (District V)

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project will be funded 48% ATP Cycle 3 Funds, 44% Martinez Area of Benefit Funds, and 8% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to increase connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists over Vine Hill Creek along the Pacheco Boulevard corridor adjacent to Las Juntas Elementary School from the east. The project also includes a second segment of sidewalk to close the final gap in pedestrian facilities along the north side of Pacheco Boulevard. This second sidewalk segment is located approximately 150 feet east of Vine Hill Creek.


The Pacheco Boulevard Sidewalk Gap Closure (Phase III) Project is important because it is the last phase of a more comprehensive group of projects that have closed sidewalk gaps throughout a significant section of the Pacheco Boulevard corridor, within unincorporated Contra Costa County, connecting to the City of Martinez. Currently, there is a gap in pedestrian facilities on the north side of Pacheco Boulevard east of Las Juntas Elementary School, and survey results show that the Las Juntas parents consider the lack of pedestrian facilities at this location a concern for students walking to school.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ATP funding will not be provided if a resolution of local support is not submitted.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Pedestrian safety will be improved for students who walk to Las Juntas Elementary School.
