ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/364 of Local Support to submit an application for State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) funds under the Roadway Projects Program for the Appian Way Complete Streets Project, as
recommended by the Public Works Director, El Sobrante area. (District I)
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. If applications are selected for funding, the County may be granted $1,510,000 for the Appian Way
Complete Streets Project. Receiving STIP funds will augment County road funds to allow the pedestrian
improvements to be made.
BACKGROUND:
The STIP is a multi-year capital improvement program of transportation projects on and off the State Highway
System, funded with revenues from the State Highway Account and other funding sources. The STIP is composed of
two sub-elements: The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) and the Interregional Transportation
Improvement Program (ITIP).
As the Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the Bay Area, the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC) is responsible for developing regional project priorities for the RTIP for the nine counties of the
Bay Area. The biennial RTIP is then submitted to the California Transportation Commission for inclusion in the
STIP. The Appian Way Complete Streets Project is recommended for a funding award through the STIP.

Subject:Resolution of Local Support for State Transportation Improvement Program Funds for the Appian Way Complete
Streets Project.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Project Description
The Appian Way Complete Streets Project will close the sidewalk gaps along Appian Way in El Sobrante, from
San Pablo Dam Road to Valley View Road, by providing an ADA compliant continuous pedestrian walkway. The
project includes replacement of substandard sidewalk and asphalt concrete (AC) path, construction of bulbouts,
parking lanes, curb ramps, driveways, a pedestrian refuge island with pedestrian crossing sign and warning
flashers, and refreshed road striping and markings.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A negative action will eliminate a potential funding opportunity (i.e., STIP funding) and delay implementation of
improvements.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
If approved, the proposed project would improve safety for students that cross Appian Way to take the bus to and
from school, as well as walking to El Sobrante Christian Schools, the Boys and Girls Club and El Sobrante
Library.
