SUMMARY
This resolution allows the City to request TDA Article 3 funding from MTC. This is noncompetitive grant funding; Hayward is intended to receive a set amount of funding. However, the City must apply for the funds to be allocated, and a City Council resolution is required as part of the application. The City’s application form is provided as Attachment A to the resolution (Attachment III to this report).
The City plans to apply for TDA Article 3 funds for three types of projects:
• Quick-build crossing improvements at the City’s highest-ranked intersections in the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP), including high-visibility crosswalks, intersection daylighting, and Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons.
• Concrete islands that separate existing bike lanes from traffic and that provide median refuges at crosswalks.
• Ongoing replacement of materials such as safe-hit posts that currently provide separated bike lanes and painted bulb-outs at intersections.
The City’s total request is $600,000, all supporting the construction phases of projects. Funds are expected to be used within one year of receipt.
