• Includes 308 000 to complete the Foothill Road Widening project from Bernal Avenue and Foothill Place and 1 060 000 for completion of the Old Stanley Road improvements including repaving, curb and gutter and sidewalks. As indicated previously, in the event the City received additional Congestion Management Agency grant funding, the Foothill Road Widening project could be moved from FY 2009 to FY 2008. Parks • The City is in the process of completing design of a number of major parks related CIP projects including the Bernal Phase I Lighted Sports Fields and the Firehouse Arts Theater. While there are currently reserves for these projects, it is anticipated the final costs may exceed available reserves. As mentioned previously, rather than increase funding to the reserves, staff anticipates the City Council utilizing the CIPR to fund these and other significant Council priority projects. Construction agreements for the Alviso Adobe project will likely be approved prior to adoption of this CIP. • Included is $1,060,000 for general trails improvements including partial funding for the extension of the Alamo Canal Trail under I-580 and the Iron Horse trail from Santa Rita to BART. It is anticipated that both projects will require and receive, additional funding from outside sources/agencies. • In Lieu Park Dedication fees are limited to projects related to acquiring parkland. A total of $2,360,912 is included in the four years of the CIP to fund a reserve to acquire land for a new community park(s). While the Council has not identified a specific park location or project for this funding, one may develop as an outgrowth of the General Plan update process or in the future as the City looks toward the development of not yet developed or underdeveloped property. In addition, as part of the City's future fee study, there can be analysis regarding the potential for expanding the use of this revenue to address park development needs as well as park acquisition. • A total of $111,00 is budgeted for completion of a Pedestrian Trail and Bicycle Lane Master Plan that is being funded exclusively from Measure B revenue. Staff anticipates the Master Plan will identify needs and lead to additional grant funding needed to complete trails projects. • Over the past few years, the condition of City parking lots has deteriorated. To address this situation, the CIP includes 500 000 to repave the Snorts and Recreation Park. Staff anticipates including additional projects in future years to address this situation. • Based on the success of maintaining consistent funding for trails improvements, this CIP includes 100 000 for improvements to bicycle lanes in City roadways. This is a new project consistent with Council priority. • A total of 125 000 is included to construct a pedestrian and bicvcle path on Valley Avenue between Case Avenue and Sunol Boulevard which is used heavily by elementary and middle school students. The project is needed as part of the Valley Avenue Extension.
