Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit the Newhope Avenue, Civic Center Drive, and Grand Avenue Bike Lane projects for funding consideration under the Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program. DISCUSSION The recommended action will complete a grant application requirement in order to be eligible to receive funding to install Class II (on-street) bike lanes along three roadway segments. The proposed installations are consistent with the City's Bicycle Master Plan, and would help extend and connect existing and planned bike paths. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued a call for Bicycle Corridor Improvement (BCI) Program applications for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. BCI Program is federally funded and provides construction funds for projects that improve safety and convenience for bicycle commuters. In response to this call, the City is requesting authorization to submit grant applications for three bike lane projects: (1) Newhope Avenue from First Street to McFadden Avenue, (2) Civic Center Drive from Bristol Street to Broadway, and (3) Grand Avenue from 21st Street to Fairhaven Avenue (Exhibit 1). All three project locations involve new Class II bike lane installations, which include appropriate signage, pavement markings, and detector loops at traffic signalized intersections. The application deadline was September 30, 2013, however before the grants are evaluated in early 2014, OCTA will need a resolution. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Per Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Environmental Quality Act, this action is exempt from further review as there is no potential for any environmental impact. 55C-1 Resolution and Authorization to Submit BCI Program Applications October 21, 2013 Page 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT The BCI Program will fund 88 percent of an approved project. A minimum 12 percent local match is required for each grant application.
