SUMMARY
On April 24, 2012, by Resolution 2012-065, Council approved the submittal of fiscal year
2012/2013 Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) Program grant application for consu~uetion of
a bikeway along East Orange Avenue between Melrose Avenue and Loma Lane. The intent of
the program is to improve safety and convenience for bicycle commuters in the region. The
BTA grant program is available to local agencies with adopted Bicycle Transportation Plans less
than five years old. Local agencies must provide a minimum often percent of the total cost of an
eligible project cost from sources other than BTA.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the
California Enviromnental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity qualifies for
a Class 4 (h) categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15304 [Minor Alterations to Land] of the
State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of the creation of bike lanes on existing
rights-of-way. Thus no further CEQA enviromnental review is required.

DISCUSSION
On Mazch 8, 2012, the California Department of Transportation Local Assistance (Caltrans)
notified the local agencies of the availability of grant funding for Fiscal Year 2012-13 projects
through its competitive BTA grant program. The intent of the program is to improve safety and
convenience for bicycle commuters in the region. The BTA grant program is available to local
agencies with adopted Bicycle Transportation Plans less than five years old. For Fiscal Yeaz
2012-13 funding, the plan must be adopted by the local agency between January 1, 2007 and
March 31, 2012. The plan must subsequently be approved by the Metropolitan Planning Agency
(MPO) before Mazch 13, 2012. The City of Chula Vista 2011 Bikeway Master Plan was adopted
by Council Resolution 2011-013 on February 1, 2011_
A total of $7.2 million is anticipated to be available statewide with a onetime increase for Fiscal
Year 2012-13 to $11.9 million only. No applicant shall receive more than 25 percent of the total
amount transferred to the BTA in a single fiscal year. Local agencies must provide a minimum
of 10 percent of the total cost of an eligible project cost from sources other than BTA.
On April 24, 2012, by Resolution 2012-065, Council approved the submittal of a grant
application for the BTA Program for construction of a westbound bikeway along East Orange
Avenue between Melrose Avenue and Loma Lane (see Attachment 1). Within the project
limits, there is a current bike lane gap only in the westbound direction, generally along the
frontages of the multi-family housing area. There is sufficient room to reduce the median width
by a few feet to retain the on-street pazking and close the bike lane gap. The eastbound direction
has a bike lane and is complete. City staff has discussed this project with the adjacent property
managers of the two lazge parcels, and on-street parking is definitely needed. These two pazcels
have 201 units and have always had use of the on-street pazking.Filling this gap on East Orange
Avenue provides a continuous 9-mile east-west Class II bikeway on Orange Avenue/East Orange
Avenue/Olympic Pazkway, connecting the west side of the City to the Olympic Training Center
on the east.
On October 8, 2012, this project was approved for funding by CalTrans under FY2012-13 of the
BTA Program (see Attachment 2). Before State funds will be made available, the City and the
State are required to enter into an agreement to establish terms and conditions applicable to the
Local Agency when receiving State funds for a designated project facility and to the subsequent
operation and maintenance of that completed facility. The executed agreement must be returned
to CalTrans by November 28, 2012.
The Bast Orange Avenue Bike Lane project is included in the City's adopted 2011 Bikeway
Master Plan. -The scope of work of this project consists of up to a 5-foot narrowing of up to 1700
LF of the existing 20-foot wide landscaped medians, pavement striping and legends, and
restoration of landscape and imgation on the north side of East Orange Avenue between Melrose
Avenue and Loma Lane. Total cost for this project is estimated to be $454,825. The BTA grant
17-2

Page 3 of 3
amount is $404,794 (89%) with a local match of $50,031 (11%) that will come from our
TransNet allocation. Anew CIP project must be created "Westbound East Orange Avenue Bike
Gap Project" and the entire amount appropriated. The estimated total cost for the project is
$454,825, of which the local match of $50,031 will come from TransNet. Staff will be
reimbursed up to $404,794 in eligible project costs. Design would start in FY12/13 and
construction in FY13/14.
It is recommended that the City accept this grant, authorize the City Engineer to execute Local
Agency -State Agreement (Attachment 3), amend the FY2012-13 CIP budget, create a new CIP
project STM377 "Westbound East Orange Avenue Bike Gap Project", and appropriate funds in
the amount of $50,031 from TransNet.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the properties that are the subject of this action. Staff is not
independently awaze, nor has staff been informed by any City Councilmember, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund from this action. The estimated total cost of $454,825
for the East Orange Avenue bike lane, will be met, in part, with $404,794 in Bicycle
Transportation Account (BTA) Grant funds. The remaining required match of $50,031 will be
met with funds from TransNet.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
After installation of these improvements, there will be minimal expenditures for routine
maintenance. It is anticipated that rehabilitation of the bike routes and lanes would be done in
conjunction with the City's pavement rehabilitation program. On-going median landscaping
irrigation and maintenance costs will be reduced, due to potential reduction of up to 0.3 acres of
lawn in the median areas. Final quantities will be determined during the design phase.

2 How w81 the proposed project increase bicycle commuting?
Removing this gap will provide a much needed east/west facility and evil] encourage more bicyclisu to commute to work, school and to link
up with other transportation modes. There are major shopping centers along Olympic Pazkway (East Orange Ave e~lension) as well as three
elementary schools and one high school. There are softball fields along the segment of the proposed project. There are also shopping centers
and major employment centers on the west end of Orange Avenue.
The proposed project would fill the missing gap between Melrose Avenue and Loma Lane, therefore, providing a continuous Class II corridor.
3. lNny is the proposed project the best alternative for the situation?
The City evaluated several routes described on the City's Bikeway Master Plan and determined that this corridor provided the most cost
effective route for commuter bicyclists. There is minimum asphalt concrete pavement required. The 7 8-foot wide elisting raised landscaped
median, provides for the additional width for the proposed bike lane preserving the existing on-street parking. No additional right-of--way is
required for this project.
4. Discuss cit@en and community involvement in the development of the yroposed project
to the preparation of the City's Bikeway Master Plan, in which this bikeway is listed, a survey questionnaire was used to obtain public and
community imrolvement. The questionnaire was distributed to San Diego County Bike Coalition members. Copies were placed at several
area bicycle shops and City facilities such as libraries and community centers. This bikeway is listed on page 25 of the City of Chula V ista's
?017 Bicycle Master Plan.

9. Geographic tlistdbulion
The newer City's developments have been occurred generally on the eastern part of the City. Most of the existing bikeway facilities on the
east are Class II. The older part of the City (west of Interstate-805) does not have the Class II bikeway infrastructure the east has. Most of the
bikeway facilities on [he west are Class III. The proposed East Orange Avenue bikeway, which is located west of Interstate 805, would
provide a much needed Class II bikeway.
70. Project initiating a wmmunlty bikeway network
Filling this gap on East Orange Avenue provides a continuous 8-mile Class (I corridor from the Olympic Training Center on the east to the

WHERES, the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity qualifies for a Class 4 (h) Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15304, Minor
Alterations to Land, of the State CEQA Guidelines because the activity consists of the creation
of bike lanes on existing rights-of--way.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby accept Bicycle Transportation Account (BTA) grant funds in the amount of
$404,794 for the completion of a Class II bikeway gap along westbound East Orange Avenue
