CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: April 19, 2010 <br />TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Manager <br />FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director <br />Engineering and Transportation <br />BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal Engir <br />Engineering and Transportation <br />SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: <br />APPROVED AND <br />FORWARDED <br />TO CITY COUNCIL <br />Stephen L. Hollister <br />City Manager <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF A REQUEST TO THE METROPOLITAN <br />TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (MTC) FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FISCAL YEAR <br />2010-11 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT (TDA) ARTICLE 3 PEDESTRIAN/ <br />BICYCLE PROJECT FUNDING. <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />Annually, the City of San Leandro applies for Transportation Development Act (TDA) funding <br />from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for pedestrian improvements <br />throughout the city. The grant monies are paid in arrears of any capital improvements and <br />require advanced funding through the grant fund for the actual improvements. <br />It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the submitted project and <br />authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit a request to the MTC for the allocation of <br />Fiscal Year 2010-11 TDA Article 3 Pedestrian/Bicycle project funding. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In the nine-county bay region, the MTC makes TDA funds available for pedestrian/bicycle <br />purposes. The funds are from the Local Transportation Fund. The Fund is a result of the State <br />Legislature initiating a 1/a% sales tax in Alameda County in 1972. Each year, the MTC allocates <br />TDA Article 3 funds to eligible claimants after review of applications from counties and <br />congestion management agencies. Alameda County is responsible for submitting an annual <br />program of projects that are initiated by each city in the county. The TDA grant funds are <br />distributed by population. <br />
