The SLTPP is a state -sponsored program designed to encourage local agencies to support roadway improvements with funds other than gas tax or developer contributions. Eligible projects must be locally constructed on a local road, a State highway, or an exclusive mass transit guideway. The completed project must either increase capacity, extend service to a new area, or extend the useful life of the roadway a minimum of ten years. Only contract and construction engineering costs are eligible for reimbursement under this program. The percentage of reimbursement for this program is dependent upon the number of approved projects statewide. It is expected that Cycle 6 reimbursements will be between 9 and 22 percent of the actual project contract costs. As a procedural matter, Caltrans requires that the City Council approve the submission of potential projects for the program. Staff recommends that the following projects be selected for consideration: 1. Haskell Canyon Road Widening - Bouquet to Grovepark Drive 2. Wiley Canyon Road Overlay - Calgrove to Lyons Avenue 3.
