sr-082383-6cGS:SS:'RD:db Council Meeting, August 23, 1983 Santa Monica, California f, t ~I f- Y~ ~ ~ ~~ yr i ~ To: Mayor and City Council P~ AUG231983 From: City Staff `~-c .~~ ~~'' Subject: Application for Bicycle and Pede strian Funds Authorized Under 56821 INTRODUCTION This report recommends City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the application of bicycle and/or pedestrian funds authorized under 56821. BACKGROUND Senate Bill 821 provides that 2 percent of each County's total Transportation Fund be annually set aside and used to fund the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The City has used its share of these funds in the past to install bikelanes on Ocean Avenue, San Vicente Boulevard, Barnard Way, and segments of Montana Avenue, Pearl Street, and Ocean Park Boulevard. In addition, these funds have been used to improve the visibility of crosswalks at various locations citywide (see map). These funds over the last three years have assisted the City Staff in reducing pedestrian and bicycle related accidents by 35 percent. The City is eligible to receive $15,558 this year. These funds are proposed to be used to install bikelanes on California Avenue between Ocean Avenue and 17th Street, and Arizona Avenue between Lincoln Boulevard and 26th Street, and to improve pedestrian facilities citywide. Specific proposals to install bikelanes will be brought back to Council for approval at a later date. The 1 AU6 2 3 1983 GS:SS:,RD:db Council Meeting, August 23, 1983 Santa Monica, California bikelanes will require approximately $6,500 with the balance $9,008 being used for other pedestrian improvements. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT The City is eligible to receive $15,558 in bicycle and/or pedestrian funds. These funds will enable bicycle and/or pedestrian improvements to be made without impacting the General Fund. These funds were not budgeted by FY 1983-84 as the amount was not known; upon receipt the funds will be recorded in Revenue Account $20-932-000-000-311. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the application for Bicycle and/or Pedestrian Funds authorized under S6821.
