BACKGROUND <br /> The Transportation Development Act is a State of California law that provides funding <br /> through State sales tax for projects that comply with regional transportation plans. <br /> Article 3 of the TDA provides funding for bicycle and pedestrian related projects. The <br /> Metropolitan Transportation Commission oversees the allocation of these funds, based <br /> on population, within the nine county MTC region. MTC makes annual distributions of <br /> TDA Article 3 funds to eligible claimants after review of applications submitted. <br /> Eligible project types for these funds include the construction and/or engineering of a <br /> capital project that would construct or maintain a bikeway; bicycle safety education <br /> programs; development of bicycle or pedestrian facilities; restriping of bike lanes and <br /> other pedestrian and bicycle related construction projects. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The City of Pleasanton Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee recommends that an <br /> application be submitted for the design and construction of bicycle and pedestrian <br /> improvements on the West Las Positas Corridor. The West Las Positas Corridor was <br /> selected because it is identified as the number one ranked corridor in the 2017 Bicycle <br /> and Pedestrian Master Plan. <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing an <br /> application for TDA Article 3 funds. <br /> Sub fitted by: Fisc I Review: Approved y: <br /> Gerry Beaudin Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Community Development <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
