Adopt a resolution supporting State funding of two projects in the city and authorizing the City
Manager to submit the First Street Bike Lane and Maple Bike Trail Enhanced Crossings Projects
for funding consideration under the Bicycle Transportation Account.
DISCUSSION
The State of California Department of Transportation issued a call for Bicycle Transportation
Accounts (BTA) applications for fiscal year 2012-2013. BTA is a State-funded program which
provides construction funds for projects that improve safety and convenience for bicycle
commuters.
In response to this call, the City is requesting authorization to submit grant applications for two
projects: First Street Bike Lane from Harbor Boulevard to Newhope Avenue, and Maple Bike
Trail Enhanced Crossings (Exhibit 2). The First Street Bike Lane Project involves a new Class II
(on-street) bike lane installation. The Maple Bike Trail Enhanced Crossings Project will enhance
the bike trail crossing safety at Occidental Street, Saint Andrews Place, and Saint Gertrude
Place. The enhancements include traffic calming to narrow the bike trail street crossings with
bulb outs and painted crosswalks. The application deadline is April 27, 2012.

match for those projects receiving BTA grant funds will be budgeted in a future Capital
Improvement Program.
