File Number: 11 -245 million for the subject project. The City is required to submit a Resolution of Local Support by October 18, 2011 to receive Program funding and ensure inclusion of the project in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Analysis The MTC requires project applicants to indicate that they will comply with the procedures for the "Timely Use of Funds Provisions and Deadlines" (MTC Resolution No. 4028) and submit a project application that describes the project, purpose, schedule and budget for the project. The MTC requests these items to ensure that applicants are capable of completing the projects, thereby reducing the risk of the region losing the funding. The City has completed several projects that meet these or similar requirements and has the capability to meet the MTC requirements for the subject project. This grant will provide additional funding for the improvement of the intersection at East 14th Street, Hesperian Boulevard, and 150th Avenue. This project was approved in the Measure B '/2 Cent Reauthorization of 2000. The project is intended to improve vehicular movements and pedestrian safety at the intersection by: 1) installing an additional left -turn lane on southbound East 14th Street to 150th Avenue; 2) installing an additional left -turn lane on northbound Hesperian Boulevard to East 14th Street; and 3) modifying the traffic signal to accommodate these improvements. In addition, all curb ramps that are not in current compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards will be brought into compliance. Current Agency Policies This action is consistent with Streets and Highway Goal No. 16 of the General Plan and Action Item 16.03 -A: Funding for Maintenance. Code Compliance Review A Negative Declaration was previously prepared for this project and referenced as State Clearinghouse Number SCH 2005102131. Fiscal Impact The grant fund is estimated at $1 million and does not require a local match. Budget Authority The Budget Office has confirmed that this is a new grant opportunity for the City and was not available at the time the budget was prepared. The Finance Director supports the filing of this application for the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) funding with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC).
