7 <br /> <br />1.3.2. Securing Funding <br />Redwood City and the County Transporta�on Authority have contributed approximately <br />$33 million towards planning, environmental review, and engineering design to get the <br />Project to this point. The local governments have also commited $185 million for ROW <br />and Construc�on. <br />However, an addi�onal $186 million is s�ll needed to provide the Project’s $308M total <br />cost. Funding Plans have been developed (link to folder) and effec�ve communica�ons <br />will be cri�cal to its success. <br />Stakeholder contacts and requests for support and advocacy will be coordinated <br />through the Consultant Project Manager with support from the team’s Stakeholder and <br />Communica�ons Lead. <br /> <br />2. Communica�on Plan <br />The purpose of the Communica�ons Plan is to communicate the “reimagined” aspects of the <br />project and highlight the issues that the new design is intended to solve. This Plan is a living <br />document and is intended to cover the near-term ROW and funding gap work as described <br />above. <br /> <br />This Communica�on Plan will accomplish the following: <br /> <br />a. Provide focused messaging surrounding the rebranding, highligh�ng benefits for <br />stakeholders and funding partners. <br />b. Clarify roles between the City, partner agencies, and the Consultant team. <br />c. Outline and develop project communica�on tools and processes necessary for <br />stakeholder engagement and outreach. <br />2.1. Goals for Communications Effort <br />There are four goals for the external communica�on efforts for the current phase of the <br />project: <br />1. Partner with community organiza�ons, property owners, developers, area businesses, <br />and other stakeholders to develop and maintain partnerships for support of grant and <br />other funding opportuni�es. <br />2. Support right-of-way ac�vi�es of the project team, as requested. <br />3. Maintain consensus and garner momentum around the adopted Project design. <br />4. Prepare Project partners and affected community for Construc�on phase <br />communica�on.
