DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt resolutions of local support authorizing the filing of applications for funding assigned from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to the Benicia Road Complete Streets Phase 2 Project and the Farm-To-Market Phase 4 Project.
SUMMARY:
The Department of Resource Management recently received a $1.63 million Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant for the second phase of the Benicia Road Complete Streets Project. The ATP funds will supplement the larger project that will construct pedestrian, bicycle, and transit improvements on Benicia Road, in collaboration with the City of Vallejo. In addition, the Department of Resource Management received a $750,000 Priority Conservation Area (PCA) grant for the fourth phase of the Farm-To-Market Project on Suisun Valley Road. The PCA funds will enable initiation of the design engineering for access improvements along Suisun Valley Road as a connector to the broader Suisun Valley.
In order to facilitate use of these grant funds, Solano County must commit to planning goals and requirements established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC). MTC requires agencies receiving these funds adopt a resolution of local support for each which commits the jurisdiction to the requirements within. With the Board's adoption of the resolutions (Attachments A and B), the Department of Resource Management will execute all documents necessary to facilitate use of grant funds for the projects.
