Hollister <br />City Manager <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE INCLUSION OF CITY STREETS IN 2010 <br />PROPOSITION 1B (PROP 1B) FUND REQUEST. <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />As part of the funding application for Proposition 1B (Prop 1B) funds the State requires City <br />Council approval of the streets selected for improvement using Prop 1B funds. <br />Staff recommends approval of portions of Marina Boulevard, Astor Drive, and Sybil Avenue for <br />inclusion in the list of streets to be improved using Prop 1 B funds. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In November 2006, the voters authorized $19.9 billion in general obligation bonds to fund state <br />and local transportation improvement projects to relieve congestion, improve movement of <br />goods and enhance safety and security of the transportation system. Since the passage of Prop <br />1B, these bonds have funded various street improvement projects. In 2008, the City of San <br />Leandro received about $1.3 million from Prop 1 B funds. <br />Analysis <br />In Spring 2010, the State asked the City to apply for 2009-10 Prop 1B funds. It is estimated that <br />the City will receive $1,211,101. The application requires that the streets to be improved with <br />these funds be authorized by Council. Based on the current Pavement Condition Index, the <br />following street sections were selected for improvement: Marina Boulevard between Doolittle <br />Drive and Neptune Drive; Astor Drive between Chabot Road and View Drive; and Sybil Avenue <br />between East 14th Street and Bancroft Avenue. <br />
