SUBJECT: RESOLUTION CERTIFYING THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR
THE PEDESTRIAN. ACCESS TO TRANSIT STOPS PROJECT
RESOLUTION NO. 95-147
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) board selected the
City's Pedestrian Access to Transit Stops project to compete for federal funds at the state level. The
amount of recommended federal funding is $680,000 over two fiscal years, from 1997 through 1999.
The total project cost is estimated to be $1,438,000. The Transit budget programs a local match of
$758,000 in Transportation Development Act (TDA) over those fiscal years to complete the project.
The transit management staff of the City of Santa Clarita completed a field surveyaimed at identifying
necessary pedestrian enhancements at transit stops throughout the Santa Clarita Valley. Such
enhancements include the installation of cross walks and pedestrian actuated traffic control signals,
pedestrian overpasses, sidewalk completions, curb cuts, and connections to the City's extensive paseo
walkway network. This study involved the participation of the City's Community Development,
Parks and Recreation, and Public Works Departments.
As a result of the study, twenty-four (24) separate locations were identified at which specific
pedestrian access improvements would be undertaken. When completed, these improvements will
significantly increase the safe and easy access to public transportation for all elements of Santa Clarita
Transit's ridership.
