FROIVI: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: SB 821 BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES, PROJECT APPLICATION FOR FISCAL
YEAR 1987-80
RECOMMENDATION:
ll~at the City Council adopt a resolution approving the application for Bicycle
and/or Pedestrian Funds under SB 821.
BACKGROUND:
An allocation of $10,469 will be available to the City in FY 1987-88 under the
SB 821 Program for bicycle or pedestrian facilities. A financial summary follows:
Balance on 7-1-87 $21,400
86-87 Projects tO be Built
Prospect Ave Sidewalk $6,600
Newport Ave Sidewalk 1,670
Red Hill Ave Sidewalk 5,930
Wheel chair Ramps (2) 744
TOTAL ~ <$14,944>
1987-88 Allocation 10,46.9
TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE $16,925
It is felt that the sidewalk project on the west side of Red Hill between Service
Road and the OCFCD Channel should be cancelled. The narrowing of the Red Hill
right-of-way at the OCFCD channel adjacent to the ATSF tracks would leave pedes-
trians with no walking space except in the roadway. It is suggested that the
$5,930 for this project be reallocated to the sidewalk work soon to be done on the
north side of Main Street between the Route 55 Freeway bridge and 100 feet east of
Myrtle Street {$4,500) and the balance to wheelchair ramps {$1~430).
New sidewalk projects for 1987-88 are proposed as follows: 1. Newport, west side south of Wass $ 4,125
2. Bryan and Browning, NE Corner 7,125
3. Third and "C" Streets, SE Corner 2,525
4. "B" Street, west side 2nd to 3rd 3,150
TOTAL $16,925
Projects I and 2 are on the arterial highway system; Projects 3 and 4 are downtown
and will serve the needs of pedestrian traffic near Peppertree Park.
We would have all 1986-87 and 1987-88 projects ready to go to bid as a single
contract by the time that Orange County Transportation Commission approval of the
new application is received. This is anticipated in October, 1987.
