PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS
Resolution No. 94-80
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
Caltrans is currently accepting project applications for the sixth cycle of the State -Local
Transportation Partnership Program (SLTPP). 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. Santa Clara River Bikeway - Sierra Highway to Lost Canyon Road
4. Commuter Rail Trail - Soledad Canyon Road Bridge to west of Camp Plenty
