STRATEGIC INITIATIVE Transportation BACKGROUND In 2013, the City of Redwood City approved the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan for a new 35 -acre Stanford University office campus. The site is located in the southeast portion of the City of Redwood City along Highway 101 (US -101), bordering three residential neighborhoods: Friendly Acres, Redwood Village, and North Fair Oaks. As part of Stanford's approved Development Agreement, the University is required to allocate $1.5 million to the City's Neighborhood Street Enhancement Program (NSEP). These funds are to be spent to increase traffic safety, mobility, and accessibility, and to provide enhanced streetscapes in the three neighborhoods. As dictated by the Development Agreement, the $1,500,000 allocation is to be distributed in three phases: an initial installment of $150,000, a near-term implementation fund of $600,000, and a long-term implementation fund of $750,000. Upon execution of the development agreement, the first installment of $150,000 was paid. In 2017, Phase 1 of the Stanford Development was approved for construction, which triggered the $600,000 allocation. Funds from the first two installments are being used to design and build several high priority projects in each of three neighborhoods. The final installment of $750,000 is due when the City issues a certificate of occupancy for the building which takes the total new development to over 1 million square feet. To leverage the funding provided by Stanford, staff sought and applied for grant funding. The City was awarded a $250,000 grant from the Safe Route to School (SRTS) and Green Streets Infrastructure Pilot (GI) Program from City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County. The grant promotes the combination of school - area safety measures with green infrastructure. The grant will fund additional improvements and assists the City _ A L—AMMMEWs City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org 160
