BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On November 3, 2021 the SBCTA Board of Governors awarded TDA Article 3 funds for Bicycle
and Pedestrians Improvement projects countywide in the amount of $3,119,595 as well as
$775,323 for Transit Stop Access Improvement projects. The Department was successful in
securing grant funds from both sources of TDA Article 3 funds. Project 1 was recently
completed providing pedestrian improvements to enhance access to both Mary B. Lewis and
Gerald A. Smith Elementary Schools. Improvements include installation of ladder style
crosswalks, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, school crossing signage, speed feedback signs
and red curb painting. Project 2 will replace the current boarding area with a new Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant boarding area, construction of an improved level concrete
surface, repairs to the sidewalk connecting to the bus stop at the southeast intersection of 3 rd
Street and Pedley Road, and an ADA compliant curb ramp at the northwest corner of the
intersection.
The Board of Supervisors (Board) approved acceptance of grant funds for Project 1 and Project
2 on December 7, 2021 (Item No. 43). Additionally, the Board authorized the Director of the
Department to certify completion of each project as well as submit claim forms for
reimbursement of TDA Article 3 funds. However, the TDA Article 3 program guidelines also
require adoption of a resolution to authorize the Director of the Department to certify project
completion and submit claim forms for TDA Article 3 funds. The Department requests adoption
of the resolution to comply with the program guidelines. As each project is completed, the
Director of the Department will certify the project’s completion and the Department will submit a
claim to SBCTA for TDA Article 3 funds. Project 1 was recently completed and Project 2 is
anticipated to be completed in 2023; however, the Department intends to complete Project 2 as
soon as possible.
Both projects ensure the development of a well-planned, balanced and sustainable County by
improving pedestrian access near and around schools and improving the transit stop at 3rd
Street and Pedley Road. By submitting the claim forms, this item allows the County to meet its
goals and objectives by working cooperatively with the other agencies and to operate in a
fiscally-responsible and business-like manner.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
