DISCUSSION On March 7, 2011 the City Council authorized the applications for project funding through the Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) administered by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and authorized the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to execute needed documents to obtain the grant funding. BTA funds are designated for bicycle related improvement projects to better integrate transportation facilities into the surrounding community. One of the BTA applications submitted was for the implementation of class II (on- street) bike lanes on Bristol Street from McFadden Avenue to Edinger Avenue. On September 14, 2011 Caltrans notified the City of the BTA grant award for the Bristol Street bike lanes from McFadden Avenue to Edinger Avenue. Subsequently, on October 1 7, 201 1 , Caltrans and the City entered into an agreement authorizing BTA funding up to $64,800 for this project. City staff expects to advertise this project in early 2012. Bristol Street class II (on-street) bike lanes are identified in the Santa Ana Bikeway Master Plan. Currently, Bristol Street between First Street and McFadden Avenue is the only section of Bristol Street that has existing class II (on-street) bike lanes. This project will extend the existing class II bike lanes along Bristol Street from McFadden Avenue up to Edinger Avenue to better serve the needs of the bicycling community. 20B-1 Appropriation Adjustment for Bristol Street Bike Lane Extension December 5, 2011 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Upon approval of the appropriation adjustment, funds will be available in the Transportation Enhancement Fund (accounting unit 05917660-66220) for this project.
