AGENDA R E PORT
C= T Y O F MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 22, 1994 (Council Meeting 3 -2 -94)
SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing Staff to Submit
Applications for Federal STP / CMAQ Funds for
1) the Widening of Los Angeles Avenue from a
Point East of Tierra Rejada Road to a Point
West of Liberty Bell Road; and 2) the
Installation of a Traffic Signal Interconnect
System for Certain Traffic Signals on Los
Angeles Avenue.
1. Last year all of the cities in Ventura County responded to a
Call for Projects issued by the Ventura County Transportation
Commission (VCTC). The request was for candidate projects,
deemed to be of Regional Significance, to be funded by a portion
of the County's allocation of Surface Transportation Program
(STP) funds which were set aside for this purpose.
2. The City submitted two projects for such funding: a) the
widening of a portion of the south side of Los Angeles Avenue
between Liberty Bell Road and Tierra Rejada Road; and b) the
construction of a traffic signal at the intersection of Tierra
Rejada Road and Moorpark Road.
3. Although neither of the City's project were funded, the proposed
traffic signal at the intersection of Tierra Rejada Road and
Moorpark Road was "folded into" a County of Ventura project for
the realignment and reconstruction of Moorpark Road south of
Tierra Rejada Road.
4. Several months later it was determined that additional STP funds
were available for Projects of Regional Significance. These
funds were directed to certain new projects which were not
included in the original Call for Projects. In order to avoid
a reoccurrence of this perceived inequity, VCTC decided to issue
another Call for Projects for the purpose of developing a back-
up list to be used in the event even more Regional STP and /or
CMAQ funds are made avail aka l E, to the County of Ventura.
