Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute Master Cooperative Agreement for Measure J PBTF
Funding
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
in the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. PBTF funds may be used to fund all phases of a project, including
design, right of way, and construction. The PBTF program is included in the Measure J transportation sales tax
expenditure plan. The Master Cooperative Agreement will be the underlying agreement for any future funding
through this program.
The initial project receiving funding is for planning and coordination with Caltrans in preparation of a project
initiation document to begin plans to modify the interchange at State Route 4 and Bailey Road to improve
accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists who wish to travel from the north to the south side of State Route 4. This is
a critical artery for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists who commute to transit, retail, office, and school.
This grant will allow the County to move the project forward through planning and design, and better position the
project for future potential funds.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the request for allocation will eliminate this potential funding source for the project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
