The California Transportation Commission has invited the City to apply for a
competitive grant for the 1992/93 Proposition 116 Funds for local- bicycle
facilities. The maximum amount of $750,000 is available from the FY 1992/93
Funding Cycle.
The purpose of the grant .is to improve safety and convenience for bicycle
commuters. This grant application. targets bicyclists making a trip for
transportation purposes, such as, travel to work, to school, for business or
medical appointments, for shopping or other activity centers, rather than for
exercise or recreational purposes.
The City Council has identified a three year plan to construct a commuter
bikeway within the City of Santa Clarita. . Staff recommends that funds*
received from this grant be applied to the Santa Clarita River Bike Trail that
will provide cross town travel from the eastern city limits to the western
city limits, approximately 15 miles of commuter bikeways.
This trail has been identified on both the Santa Clarita General Plan and the
Los Angeles County General Plan, and is considered a Regional Trail.
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 92-201 authorizing
1992/93 Grant Application for Proposition 116 Funds.
