CityCouncil | 2012-04-17 | 5 | able to report back to Council until September; some opportunities could be missed for high priority projects that have already been approved. The Public Works Director stated staff could work with Bike Alameda to obtain buy in for possible bike grants; staff does not want to miss any opportunities. Councilmember deHaan inquired how Measure B would fit in. The Public Works Director responded some projects on the list are included in the Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP). Councilmember deHaan inquired whether projects are highlighted accordingly, to which the Public Works Director responded in the negative. Councilmember deHaan stated there have been discussions on current TEP expenditures and future funding. The Public Works Director stated that staff did not use the TEP as a criteria; the Broadway/Jackson project is not in the TEP; the Miller-Sweeney Bridge and Rapid Bus Service projects are in the TEP. Councilmember deHaan stated some projects are already in the queue and have existing funding in place. The Public Works Director stated none of the projects on the list are shovel ready; the intent is to develop a list for applying for future grants; public input would be needed even if the City receives grants. Councilmember deHaan stated that the [March 20, 2012] Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) presentation outlined projects beyond the existing projects; questioned how said projects would fit in. The Public Works Director stated some projects would be funded over the course of the TEP, but the City would not start the projects without community consensus. The Assistant City Manager stated the City cannot count on funds in the event voters do not approve the tax in November. Councilmember Johnson stated staff should move forward with applying for grants; the list should be more user-friendly; having the projects sorted by categories and type would help; inquired whether many sidewalk projects are not listed because there is no funding source. The Public Works Director responded said projects are bundled together. Councilmember Johnson inquired whether general sidewalk and street maintenance is included.
