RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution supporting State funding of eight projects in the City
and authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to
submit projects for funding consideration under California's Safe Routes
to School Program.
DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Transportation has issued a call
for projects for the Safe Routes to School Program (SR2S). This is a
federally funded program, which provides construction funds for projects
to improve school pedestrian safety such as traffic signals, school
signage, and in-pavement lighted crosswalks.
Staff is requesting authorization to submit eight projects for SR2S
funding for Fiscal Year 2006/2007. Given the need for these
improvements, staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution
supporting State funding of these projects and authorizing the Executive
Director of the Public Works Agency to submit the designated projects for
funding consideration under the Safe Routes to School Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental reviews will be conducted for those projects that receive
funding and will be presented to the City Council when the construction
contract (s) is awarded. These types of projects typically qualify for
Categorical Exemptions.
