SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 99- Authorizing Submittal
of a Claim for TDA Article 3 Bicycle / Pedestrian Funds
(formerly SB -821) for FY 1999/00
OVERVIEW
This presents for consideration a Resolution authorizing submittal
of a claim for Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3
funds. These monies are restricted to expenditures for projects
which provide new (or improvements to existing) bicycle or
pedestrian facilities. In past years, these monies were referred
to as SB -821 funds. Although that was the State legislation which
initially established the program, this term is no longer used. The
correct term for this program is TDA Article 3 funds.
DISCUSSION
A. History
A list of City projects funded by this source in prior years, is
attached as Exhibit 1.
B. Grant Process
Each year the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC)
requests that interested cities (and other eligible agencies)
submit grant applications for projects eligible for TDA Art. 3
monies. This year the deadline for the submittal of grant
applications for this program is March 17, 1999.
The grant applications received are evaluated by the Citizen's
Transportation Advisory Committee / Social Services
Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC /SSTAC), using very
specific criteria developed to enable the Committee to evaluate
the relative merits of the grant applications. CTAC /SSTAC
reviews the applications in April and then provides their
recommendations to VCTC in May. VCTC takes action on those
recommendations in June.

C. Grant Application
Staff submitted
an application for TDA Article 3 grant funds to
VCTC on March 15,
1999. As stated above, the deadline for the
submittal of this grant application was 4:00 p.m., March 17,
1999. A summary
description of the project to be funded by this
grant application is as follows:
• Name:
Tierra Rejada Road Sidewalk
• Location:
South side of Tierra Rejada Road, west of
Spring Road (see map attached as Exhibit 2)
• Scope:
Construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk
• Purpose:
There is no sidewalk in this area. Pedestrians
traveling from the residential neighborhoods on
the south side of Tierra Rejada Road to the new
commercial center at the intersection of Tierra
Rejada Road and Spring Road, do not have the
use or benefit of an improved sidewalk. The
proposed project will eliminate this "missing
link.
• Safety:
The primary benefit of this project will be
improved safety for pedestrians in this area.
It should be noted that the intersection of
Tierra Rejada Road and Southhampton Road is an
uncontrolled intersection. The addition of the
proposed sidewalk will facilitate pedestrian
use of the controlled intersection of Tierra
Rejada Road and Spring Road.
• Project Cost:
The total cost of the project is estimated to
be $41,250.
• Grant Amount:
The total amount of the grant being requested
is $18,000.
D. Other Possible Future Protects
A list of some of the other possible future projects which could
be funded by this source, is attached as Exhibit 3.
E. Local Matching Funds
The evaluation criteria places a heavy emphasis upon the
applicant providing a significant local share match. Forty (40)
of the one hundred (100) points are granted for providing a
fifty percent (500) match. Fifty (50) points are granted if the
local share match is fifty -five percent (550) or greater. The
grant application submitted this year provides for a local share

match exceeding fifty -five percent (550) of the total project
costs, recommended to be funded by the Spring Road / Tierra
Rejada Road AOC Fund [Account 211.900].
The actual appropriation and budget for this work would be
presented to the City Council when the project is ready to
advertise for receipt of bid.
F. Miscellaneous Concrete Protect
It is proposed that the construction of the project to be funded
by the subject grant, be included in an upcoming project for the
construction and /or reconstruction of Portland Cement Concrete
(PCC) improvements (curb, gutter and sidewalks) at a number of
locations throughout the City. It is anticipated that the
Engineering Division will have the design for this project
completed within three months. The project should be ready to
advertise for bids at about the time the grant funds are
approved in June.
RECOWENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 99-
(Exhibit 4) authorizing the filing of a claim for TDA Article 3
Bicycle / Pedestrian funds for the construction of a sidewalk on
the south side of Tierra Rejada Road, west of Spring Road.
