PROPOSED PRIORITY LIST FOR TDA FUNDS
March 6, 1990
Page 2
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In 1978, a procedure was recommended by the Conference of Mayors and adopted by the County
Board of Supervisors to insure county-wide consensus in funding bicycle and pedestrian projects with
TDA money. In accordance with that procedure, each City and the County submitted applications
for 1990 TDA funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The TDA Subcommittee, a subcommittee of
the CCEAC, met in early January to review the TDA applications submitted for funding consideration
and to consider a request by the County to extend the required completion date for the Willow Pass
Road Pedestrian Walkway and provide additional funds for a previously approved project in EI
Sobrante.
.Thirteen projects, totaling $1.5 million, were reviewed by the subcommittee. This year's subcommittee
is made up of EI Cerrito, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the County, the East Bay
Bicycle Coalition, and the East Bay Regional Park District. Attached is a list of the submitted projects.
MTC has estimated that $384,684 is available for 1990 TDA Article 3 funds in Contra Costa County.
In addition, with the reallocation of the $51,000 for the Willow pass bike lane project (previously
approved), a total of $435,684 is available for the funding of proposed TDA projects. Based on the
criteria established to prioritize proposed projects, the subcommittee recommended,that the CCEAC
accept the proposed project list for the 1990 TDA Article 3 funds and forward the project list to the
Conference of Mayors.
On march 1, 1990, the Contra Costa Conference of Mayors approved the proposed priority list.
The priority list has been reviewed by the Transportation Committee.
The CCEAC requests approval of the following project list for the 1990 TDA Article 3 funds:
Project/Sponsor Recommended Allocation
r,
1. Contra Costa Canal Trail Expansion $150,600
Antioch
2. Miranda Avenue Bike Path $112,000
Contra Costa County (Alamo)
3. Iron Horse Trail Bike Path $ 75,000
Danville
4. Cypress Road Ped/Bike Path

5. Willow Pass Road Pedestrian Walkway $ 51,000 (reallocation)
Contra Costa County (West Pittsburg)
6. Manor Road Bike Lane, Phase 2 $ 9,000 (additional grant)
Contra Costa County (EI Sobrante)
TOTAL $435,600
Frank Kennedy, City Engineer for the City of Walnut Creek, will represent CCEAC at the public
hearing. Subsequent to adoption of the list by the Board of Supervisors, the priority list must be
forwarded to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for final approval and funding allocation.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Faiure to approve the proposed priority list will result in a delay in the MTC process of allocating TDA
funds to the Contra Costa County area.
