From: Clty Staff
subject: Approval of Resolution to Apply for Funds for the
Installation of a Bike Lane on 4th Street between
Wilshire Boulevard and San vicente Boulevard and the
Installation of Public Bicycle Storage Racks at Various
Locations in the city
Introduction
This report recommends that the city council approve a resolution
applying for $27,890 in Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) pedestrian and bicycle facility funds to install
a Class II bike lane on 4th street between San Vicente Boulevard
and Wllshire Boulevard and to install publlC bicycle storage racks
at various locations in the city.
Backqround
Each year the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
makes available to local agencies monies specifically for
pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
These monies are available
under Artlcle 3 of the Transportatlon Development Act (TDA or SE
821) and are made available to local jurisdlctions based upon each
ci ty' s population proportionate to the total population of Los
Angeles County.
Santa Monica is eligible to receive 1.10% or
$27,890 of the total monies available.

This year we recommend that the monies be used for two purposes.
The first is to install a Class II bike lane on 4th street between
Wilshire Boulevard and San vicente Boulevard (see Exhibit A). This
bike lane is included in the city's Bicycle Plan and will provlde
a needed additional north-south bike route in the Clty. The 4th
street bike lane will also connect existing east-west Class II bike
lanes on California Avenue, Georgina Avenue and San vicente
Boulevard. The bike lane will not reduce vehicular capacity
because 4th street is wide enough in the project area to continue
to provide a northbound travel lane, a southbound travel lane, on-
street parking on both sides of the street and the proposed bike
lane. The cost of installing this bike lane is estimated to be
$20,890.
The second expenditure of the SCAG pedestrian and bicycle monies
would be used to provide public bicycle storage racks at various
locations in the City, including the civic Center, the Third street
Promenade, and Main street. The bicycle racks to be installed are
the popular and functional "Wave-Lok" racks which can be mounted in
various quantities at any individual site depending on the need.
Each "wave" can accommodate two to three bicycles. The cost of
these bicycle rack installations is estimated to be $7,000.

Financial/Budget Impact
The cost to install the proposed bike lane on 4th Street between
Wilshire Boulevard and San vicente Boulevard, and to install public
bicycle racks at various locations in the city is estimated to be
$27,890. An applicatlon will be submitted to SCAG for the
acquisition of these funds.
The current budget for the City includes $25,000 to be received
from SCAG for this purpose. Upon notification of the grant awarded
by SCAG, revenue account #20-500-401-00000-0311-10000 should be
increased by $2,890 to increase the amount of this account to the
amount of the grant, $27,890. An appropriation of $27,890 should
be made to expenditure account #20-770-416-28991-8918-99801.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the city Council:
1) Approve the resolution (see Exhibit B) authorizing the City
Manager to apply for $27,890 of SCAG pedestrian and bicycle
facility funds (SB 821 or Article 3 funds) for the
installation of a elass II bike lane on 4th Street between
Wilshire Boulevard and San Vicente Boulevard, and installation
of publlC bicycle racks at various locations in the City,
including the civic Center, the Third street Promenade, and
Main Street; and,
3
2) Upon notification of grant approval by SCAG, increase revenue
account #20-500-401-00000-0311-10000 by $2,890 to increase the
account over the currently budgeted amount of $25,000 to the
total amount of the grant, $27,890, and appropriate $27,890 to
expenditure account #20-770-416-28991-8918-99801.
