SUBJECT: LOST CANYON ROAD PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND SIDEWALK

PROJECT NO. T3009 — APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR
ANTICIPATED PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGN
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. City Council direct the City Manager to accept the grant award in the amount of
$405,000.00 from Caltrans through the Safe Routes to School program;
2. Increase the estimated revenues in Account No. 109-6714 by $45,000.00;
3. Appropriate $45,000.00 to Project No. T3009109-8001;
4. Approve the transfer of $5,000.00 from Account No. 4322-8001 to Account
No. T3009201-8001; and
5. Direct staff to initiate the preliminary engineering design phase of the project.
BACKGROUND
On May 8, 2001, the City Council directed staff to submit Safe Routes to School (SR2S)
grant applications to Caltrans. One project approved for this program's funding cycle was
the Lost Canyon Road Pedestrian Bridge and Sidewalk over the Sand Canyon Wash. This
project will construct a pedestrian bridge parallel to, but separate from, the Lost Canyon
Road Bridge, as well as a sidewalk along the south side of the road. Currently, more than
300 students from Sulphur Springs Elementary School and Pine Crest Elementary School
share the road with vehicles on their way to and from school because no sidewalk or
physical barrier exists to separate cars from pedestrians.
Adoption of the recommended action by the City Council authorizes staff to initiate the
project's preliminary engineering design phase, which has an estimated cost of $50,000.00.
The total estimated cost of the project, including construction, is $450,000.00.
Through the SR2S program, Caltrans has awarded grant funds in the amount of
$405,000.00 for the project. Program funding guidelines entitle the City to a 90 percent
reimbursement of project expenses. Therefore, the local match incurred will be 10 percent,
or $45,000.00. However, the City must provide the initial funding for the project.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Currently, staff is seeking City Council approval to proceed with the preliminary
engineering design as recommended above. The cost for this phase of the project is
$50,000.00. As previously stated, the City will be reimbursed 90 percent, or $45,000.00.
Staff anticipates returning to City Council during the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 CIP funding
process to increase revenues, and request appropriation of construction -related grant funds
and local match contributions.
