Cooke, Principal Engineer SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Stephen L. Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF A REQUEST TO THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (MTC) FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2009-10 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT (TDA) ARTICLE 3 PEDESTRIAN/ BICYCLE PROJECT FUNDING SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Annually, the City of San Leandro applies for TDA funding from the MTC for pedestrian improvements throughout the city. The grant monies are paid in arrears of any capital improvements and require advanced funding through the grant fund for the actual improvements. It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the submitted project and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit a request to the MTC for the allocation of Fiscal Year 2009-10 TDA Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle project funding. BACKGROUND In the nine-county bay region, the MTC makes TDA funds available for pedestrian/bicycle purposes. The MTC makes annual allocations of TDA Article 3 funds to eligible claimants after review of applications submitted by counties or congestion management agencies. Alameda County is responsible for submitting an annual program of projects that are initiated by each city in the county. The TDA grant funds are distributed by population. Analysis Annually, the City applies for TDA grant funds from the MTC for pedestrian improvements throughout the city. The City is entitled to $22,640 for this next fiscal year, FY 2009-10. Additionally, the City will request $30,000 of the FY 2010-ll allocation for a total allocation of $52,640. The City is able to request early allocation because some Alameda County jurisdictions are not using their allocations this year. If necessary, staff will use Measure B Bicycle and Pedestrian funds in 2009-10 to make up any shortfall in funding to complete this annual project.
