DATE: January 22, 2008

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
Applying for and obtaining grants allows the County to construct more improvements than would be possible
without obtaining these grants.
The projects listed above were submitted to the Countywide Bicycle Advisory Committee(CBAC)for their review
and comments. The following is a brief description of each of the projects:
The Knightsen Pedestrian Path improves the pedestrian facilities along a major road in the Knightsen area and will
provide a pedestrian link between the mixed-use commercial center of town and Knightsen Elementary School.
Along the southern side of Delta Road the pedestrian improvements will consist of constructing a 5-foot wide
asphalt concrete path from Knightsen Avenue to the existing sidewalk in front of Knightsen Elementary School.
Other improvements included in the project scope are the installation of new and modification of existing curb
ramps and the installation of railroad warning devices and gates for pedestrian traffic.
The Pacheco Boulevard Sidewalk Gap Closure project closes the 300-foot sidewalk gap between Camino Del Sol
and Windhover Way, on the north side of Pacheco Boulevard. Closing this gap would provide uninterrupted
sidewalk from Las Juntas Elementary School to just west of Windhover Way,a distance of 1,500 feet. This project
includes construction of 300 feet of 6.5-foot wide sidewalk and curb,construction and modification of curb ramps,
widening of AC roadway and re-striping of roadway shoulder to accommodate a Class II bike lane. This project will
also include modification (re-striping) of the existing crosswalks at the intersection of Pacheco Boulevard and
Camino Del Sol.
The purpose of the Pomona Street Bike Lane Project is to provide a Class II bike lane along one side of Pomona
Street in Crockett. This bike lane will allow bike access through the town and provide as a connector between the
bike paths on San Pablo Avenue to the west, Carquinez Scenic Drive to the east and Crockett Boulevard to the
south. This project will require restriping of the existing roadway center line as needed to allow for the bike path
and to maintain as much on-street parking as possible.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education Projects will provide bicycle and pedestrian safety education in school
and community settings throughout Contra Costa County. Activities for 2008-2009 will include classroom-style
educational presentations, a traffic safety education media campaign, safe bicycling and walking events, adult
walkability workshops, and bicycle helmet distribution.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the submittal of this application will eliminate a potential funding source.

Short Title Description of Project: Pacheco Blvd.Sidewalk Gap Closure
Amount of claim:$ 70,000
Functional Description of Project:
The project consists of constructing 300 linear feet of 6.5-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the north side of Pacheco Boulevard from the corner of Camino Del Sol to
the existing sidewalk near Windhover Way. To construct the sidewalk seven trees will need to be removed and a utility pole will require relocation. The project will
also include modification and/or replacement of three curb ramps,one at the northwest corner of Camino Del Sol and Pacheco Boulevard and the other two at the
intersection with Windhover Way. The existing road width adjacent to the new sidewalk will also be widened to achieve the alignment required for the future planned
width of Pacheco Boulevard and will effectively lengthen the class II bike lane the project length.
This project begins 900 feet from Las Juntas Elementary School and will close the existing sidewalk gaps between the streets of Camino Del Sol and Windhover Waw
Currently there are two islands of sidewalk,the first,80 feet in length west of Camino Del Sol and the second,200 feet in length near Windhover Way. Constructing 300
feet of sidewalk,combined with the existing 280 feet,will effectively lengthen the stretch of uninterrupted sidewalk by 580 feet to a total of 1,480 feet. Being near a
school,many of the pedestrians that will utilize this proposed sidewalk will be children that live in the nearby residential areas.
Financial Plan:
List the project elements for which TDA funding is being requested(e.g., planning,environmental,engineering, right-of-way,construction,

Short Title Description of Project: Pomona St.Bike Lane
Amount of claim:$ 70,000
Functional Description of Project:
This proiect consists of striping a Class II bike lane along one side of Pomona St.in Crockett. Pomona St.is designated as a proposed on-street bikeway in the Contra
Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Pomona St.is currently wide enough to allow for a bike lane to be stripped along one side. The existing roadway striping
will be modified as needed to provide sufficient pavement width to allow for the addition of a bike lane. On-street packing areas will remain where the existing width is
sufficient after the addition of the bike lane. There is currently a bike lane in front of Carquinez Middle School and John Swett High School and this proposed project will
extend one of these bike lanes the full length of Pomona St.allowing for use throughout the town and connecting on the eastern end to the existing Class II bike path that
extends west of Interstate 80.
