Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Authorize staff to apply for federal funding of four projects and to submit the projects for funding <br /> consideration under the Highway Safety Improvement Program. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The State of California Department of Transportation issued a call for projects for the Highway <br /> Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for Federal Fiscal Year 2010/2011. HSIP is a federally <br /> funded program, which provides construction funds for projects to improve traffic and pedestrian <br /> safety, such as traffic signals and signage upgrades. <br /> <br /> Staff is requesting authorization to submit four projects for HSIP funding (Exhibit 1). The <br /> selected project locations are based on the FY 09/10 Traffic Signal Priority List ranking that <br /> considers vehicular traffic volume, pedestrian activity, and collisions history. Given the need for <br /> these improvements, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution supporting federal <br /> funding of these projects and authorizing staff to submit the designated projects for funding <br /> consideration under the Highway Safety Improvement Project. <br /> <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> Environmental reviews will be conducted for those projects that receive funding and will be <br /> presented to the City Council when the construction contract(s) is awarded. These types of <br /> projects typically qualify for Categorical Exemptions. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 21A-1 <br />
