CORRELATION TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public
Safety and Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implements or fosters the
implementation of strategy #3, which among other items, is to ensure continuous
maintenance and improvement of transportation facilities.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The BCIP is funded using the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (CMAQ) authorized under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century (MAP -21) and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST). The CMAQ
program provides funding through annual appropriations to Orange County to be used
for transportation -related projects that reduce congestion and improve air quality. The
OCTA is responsible for selecting regionally significant projects for Orange County and
working with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in administering
selected projects that are required to be CEQA/NEPA compliant due to the federal
funds involved.
The Main Street Improvement Project meets the program objectives by creating a more
pedestrian and bicycle -friendly environment with traffic calming features.
To maintain eligibility for BCIP funding the City Council must approve the application for
this program. The application for the Main Street Improvement Project will be submitted
to the OCTA on or prior to the deadline of May 9, 2016. Adoption of the City's resolution
serves to complete the initial administrative process for receipt of the application.
Therefore, staff is requesting City Council adoption of Resolution No. 16-22 approving
the submittal of the application to the Orange County Transportation Authority for the
funding of the construction phase of the Main Street Improvement Project under the
Bicycle Corridor Improvement Program 2016 Call for Projects.
