TransportationCommission | 2014-04-23 | 6 | Page 6 of 7 5C. Transportation Grant Applications: Transportation Development Act, Active Transportation Program and TIGER Staff Payne presented the report. Commissioner Bellows asked staff if the budgeted amount for the Transportation Development Act (TDA) monies is not fully used for the project would the monies go back into the City's reserve. Staff Payne replied yes. Commissioner Morgado asked if the bicycle parking was in the form of boxes. Staff Payne replied yes as well as bicycle racks. Commissioner Vargas asked about the bicycle counts and wondered if the counts would be conducted by electronic devices or human counters. Staff Payne replied that the project would go out to bid with a contractor and traditionally they have multiple individuals conducting the bicycle counts at each intersection for the turning movements. Commissioner Vargas called for a motion. Commissioner Bertken made a motion to approve the TDA item. Commissioner Morgado seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-0. Staff Payne presented the remaining portions of the report. Commissioner Vargas asked about the dollar amount for constructing the trail along the Jean Sweeney Open Space. Staff Payne replied that they are in the middle of developing the detailed cost estimate, but the cost may go up to $2 million for the total stretch. Furthermore, the cost includes the section near the Starbucks, which is tricky because it is a constrained space. Commissioner Vargas asked if the funds are for studies or construction. Staff Payne replied that the grant is for construction. Commissioner Bertken asked staff if construction along the intersection is the next phase from what the Commission voted on regarding pedestrian safety and crosswalks. Staff Payne replied that this would be the long-term solution of construction. | TransportationCommission/2014-04-23.pdf |
