III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On March 17, 1992 this board approved Contra Costa County's priority list for TDA funds for
Bicycle/Pedestrian Path Projects for fiscal year 1992-93. This was the culmination of an
application process for TDA funds that began in October of 1991. The City of Walnut Creek
subsequently requested an extension of time on their 1989-90 TDA grant for the construction
of the Mokelumne Aqueduct Bike Way between Geary Road and Oak Park Boulevard. The
deadline for incurring costs for that TDA grant is June 30, 1992. Due to environmental concerns
and negotiating a license agreement with EBMUD, the City of Walnut Creek will not be able to
meet the TDA grant time line, even though they will be constructing the project this summer.
As a result, they have requested an extension of.time for their 1989-90 grant.
In order to extend the time limit of TDA funds for this project, the funds must be reallocated with
the current 1992/93 funding cycle. In order for MTC to consider a request for reallocation, the
priority project list must be amended to include the Walnut Creek project for fiscal year 1992-93.
The City/County Engineering Advisory Committee considered this request from the City of
Walnut Creek at their April 3, 1992 meeting and recommended approval. The Conference of
Mayors considered the same item ,at their May 7, 1992 meeting and also recommended
approval. This priority list remains unchanged from the list approved by this Board on May 17,
1992 except for the addition of the Walnut Creek project.
The Transportation Committee has reviewed and approved this request by the City of Walnut
Creek.
Subsequent to adoption of this amendment to the priority list by the Board of Supervisors, the
list must be forwarded to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for final approval and
funding reallocation.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the reallocation and project list amendment will limit the time for the City of
Walnut Creek to utilize the TDA funds until June 30, 1992. This will result in the City losing the
TDA grant funds for their project.
