F 11 THE CITY O ~ ~ n~L£~S~NTON® CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT 1 February 19, 2008 Public Works Department TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGES TO THE FEDERAL ROADWAY CLASSIFICATION MAP WITHIN THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SUMMARY The Functional Classification Map is maintained by Caltrans and the Federal Highway Administration. Any updates to this map must be approved by City Council resolution. The California Vehicle Code requires that every road identified on this map must have a speed survey completed to establish the speed limit. There are several local roadways on this map that need to be downgraded to a local roadway classification to be able to continue to enforce the 25 mph prima facie speed limit. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends review and adoption of the resolution approving changes to the Functional Classification Map to reflect downgrading some streets to local roadway in order to facilitate enforcement efforts and to correct misidentified roadways on the map. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The Functional Classification Map is used to guide federal funding. Elimination of these local roadways from the classification map prohibits these roadways from receiving federal funding. This does not limit the amount of federal funding the City receives, but may limit the locations where federal funding could be used. Several grants, like the Office of Traffic Safety grant, only fund projects on roadways not on this map, so removal of these roadways may improve grant opportunities in some cases.
