BACKGROUND
The City has received its first State of California Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) grant.
With the recent adoption of the non -motorized plan by the Council, the project which is in Fiscal
Year 2008-09 will improve bicycle facilities in the Industrial Center. The BTA grant provides
state funds for City and County projects that improve safety and convenience for bicycle
commuters. During the last BTA grant cycle, Santa Clarita was only one of three projects that
received funding in Los Angeles County. Acceptance of the BTA grant requires a minimum 10
percent in matching local funds.
Aprr
G10�[�D
The City's BTA application was submitted for the Industrial Center Bike Lane Signing and
Striping, Project T1011 to restripe the following three streets with bike lanes:
• Vanderbilt Way from Avenue Stanford to Newhall Ranch Road
• Avenue Stanford from Vanderbilt Way to Avenue Scott
• Avenue Scott from Rye Canyon Road, connecting to the existing bike lanes at Avenue
Rockefeller
Providing bicycle facilities in the Valencia industrial area will promote bicycle commuting
among local workers. This project is one of many projects identified in the City's Non -Motorized
Transportation Plan.
No additional right-of-way is required for this project.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated total project cost is $157,472. The BTA grant covers approximately 90 percent of
the total cost of the project for total grant funds of $141,723. The grant requires a local match of
$15,749. These funds are available from project savings in Expenditure Account
C0029230-5161.001. The requested appropriation of grant funds into T1011259-5161.001 and
the transfer of required match funds to T1001230-5161.001 will fully fund the project.
