6.3. D. - Page 2 <br /> funds, the City would contribute $1,000,000 in One Bay Area Grant Program funds from <br /> the Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Program. The City would also provide <br /> approximately $5 million in other matching funds from street programs and other capital <br /> project funds. <br /> The Middlefield Road Streetscape Project proposes improvements along this multi- <br /> jurisdictional commute corridor. The project will increase the overall functionality and <br /> safety of the street for people riding buses and bicycles. A major objective of the project <br /> is to improve the walkability of the neighborhood to encourage residents to walk to <br /> Downtown rather than drive. Consistent with the San Mateo County Office of <br /> Education's Safe Routes to Schools project, the improvements to this corridor will also <br /> serve students who live north of Woodside Road and attend Hoover Elementary School. <br /> The proposed improvements include wider sidewalks, sidewalk extensions (bulb-outs), <br /> high visibility crosswalks, new bus stops and shelters, pedestrian-scale street lighting, <br /> street trees, bicycle lanes, bike racks, and overall urban connectivity. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> City Council may choose to not adopt a resolution of support for the TOD Grant <br /> Funding. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The estimated cost of the Middlefield Streetscape Project is approximately $6.6 million <br /> of which 11 % is anticipated to be provided by TOD program funding. The remaining <br /> funding will be provided by a Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project grant ($1 <br /> million) and various programs under the Gas Tax Construction Fund and the Traffic <br /> Impact Mitigation Fees Fund. No General Fund resources are anticipated to be used to <br /> fund this project. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> Actions associated with applying for and accepting funding do not constitute a project <br /> pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. Additional <br /> environmental review will be completed for the projects as required by state and federal <br /> law. <br /> /� <br /> l' <br /> �� � � <br /> �-__- <br /> JESSICA MANZI <br /> SENIOR TRANSPORTATION COORDINATOR <br /> �� <br /> G���� . <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br />
