Trail Slough Bridge Grant Application 2 October 1, 2007 The City's Bikeway Plan identifies this project as a high priority. Furthermore, this project is regional in its significance. The Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) ranks this project as its Countywide Bicycle Plan's number one priority. Several other regional planning documents, such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Regional Bicycle Plan, the East Bay Regional Park District's (EBRPD) Master Plan, and the Association of Bay Area Government's (ABAG) Bay Trail Plan mention the project as well. This grant will reduce the funding gap from $1,023,000 to $628,000. The City and EBRPD are aggressively pursuing additional funding sources to close the remaining gap. The early phases of the project, including design and environmental clearance, are fully funded by other grant funding sources and are moving forward.
