This year, $2,524,200 is available to local jurisdictions according to their population. The City of Santa Clarita has been allocated a total of $34,884 based on our current population. In addition, approximately $1,748,092 will be allocated on a competitive� basis to projects of regional significance. Local apportionment TDA Article 3 funds may be used for the following activities related to pedestrian and bicycle facilities:. , - Preliminary engineering leading to construction. Right of way acquisition. Construction and re -construction Repair and maintenance (off-street bikeways only). Purchase and installation of features, such as bike parking racks, benches, drinking fountains, and changing rooms, which are. accessible to the general public. The City Council has previously reviewed and adopted the Los Angeles County Master Plan for Regional Bikeways and Trails. The City Council has also adopted a three-year plan to construct a core trail system within the City of Santa Clarita. Staff is recommending that funds received under Article 3 of SB 821 be applied to our first year construction program for the South Fork Trail, a three-mile segment, which will run from Lyons Avenue to Magic'Mountain Parkway, along the flood control levee maintenance road bordering the south fork of the Santa Clara river. Two resolutions have been attached to the agenda report for the Council's consideration. The first resolution authorizes application for, receipt of the local apportionment funds for bikeways. The second resolution is a maintenance agreement which provides that the City will cause any trail or bikeway constructed with SB 821 funds to be maintained in a safe condition. Adopted: Agenda Item: This would require the provision of regular sweeping services and the repair and/or replacement of damaged or illegible signs associated with the bikeway facilities. Staff is proposing to provide sweeping services through the County of Los Angeles, under a contract agreement. The. County estimates that the per -mile cost of sweeping services is $2,000 per year. It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 90-193, authorizing application for bikeway funds, and Resolution No. 90-194, for provision of maintenance services, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the agreements.
