SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Accept a $75,000 Grant for Patrick Avenue Improvements Phase 2 and Execute a Funding Agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission from the COVID-19 Rapid Response Bicycle/Pedestrian Grant Program
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) accepting grant funds from the COVID-19 Rapid Response Bicycle/Pedestrian Grant Program (Grant) and executing a funding agreement with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) in the amount of $75,000 for the implementation of the Patrick Avenue Improvements Phase 2 Project and appropriate up to $150,922 from the Measure BB Bicycle and Pedestrian Capital Improvement Fund (Fund 213) for the implementation of the Project.
SUMMARY
The City has been successful in obtaining funding from the COVID-19 Grant to fund the Patrick Avenue Improvements Project Phase 2, which includes installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), safe-hit delineator posts, and green bike lanes. Alameda CTC, the Grant sponsor, will fund up to $75,000 of the total project cost of $150,922. The remaining $75,922 is reimbursable through the City’s Transportation Development Act Article 3 Grant Project No. 05307, which is provided by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and administered by Alameda CTC. The Phase 2 project would enable the City to complete the Patrick Avenue Improvement Project and make it more functional, safer, and easier to use by both residents and bicycle users.
