WHEREAS, on April 16, 2002, the Chula Vista City Council held a public hearing and
approved Resolution No. 2002-117 adopting the five-year Regional Transportation Improvement
Program (RTIP). San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) has requested that local
agencies review the biennial element (Fiscal Year 2003 and Fiscal Year 2004) of the current
RTIP and submit to SANDAG any proposed changes; and
WHEREAS, this amendment to the Fiscal Years 2002/2003 through 2006/2007 RTIP
primarily concerns changes to the cost estimates and new submittals for non-capacity increasing
projects to be funded by Transportation Sales Tax (TransNet) funds. The SANDAG Board of
Directors will consider the subject amendments at its June meeting; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments to the current RTIP include four projects:
Palomar Street, pavement and sidewalk rehabilitation, and North Broadway reconstruction; and
WHEREAS, Palomar Street - City staff has determined during the recent budget process
that the originally programmed TransNet funds in the amount of $800,000 could be reduced by
$51,000. City staff recommends reducing the TransNet funding for Palomar Street by $51,000
to the new amount of $749,000 and revising the funding schedule for Preliminary Engineering,
Right-of-Way acquisition, and Construction to Fiscal Year 2003/2004; and
WHEREAS, Fiscal Year 2003/2004 and Fiscal Year 2004/2005 pavement rehabilitation -
Originally, the pavement rehabilitation projects for Fiscal Year 2003/2004 and Fiscal Year
2004/2005 were to be funded by TransNet funds and $400,000 in Gas Tax funds for each year.
However, due to unavailable Gas Tax funding, only TransNet funds remain to fund the project.
Staff recommends that the amendment to this project consist of removing Gas Tax funding for
the project; and
WHEREAS, Fiscal Year 2003/2004 and Fiscal Year 2004/2005 sidewalk
installation/rehabilitation - City staff will be submitting "Safe Routes to School" (SRTS) Grant
applications to Caltrans for approval. The SRTS funds 90 percent of the total funding and
requires a 10 percent contribution by the local agency. Staff recommends funding for the project
be used for the 10 percent contribution portion of the local agency and/or the construction of
missing sidewalk/pedestrian ramp improvements; and
WHEREAS, North Broadway Reconstruction - pavement reconstruction in order to
reduce the crown of the pavement area to meet current City requirements and rehabilitate the
existing street. This project will be coordinated with the construction of the drainage project for
the same project area, generally bounded by C Street and D Street; and

forecasts obtained from SANDAG. The TransNet revenue forecasts are based on the local
agency's current population and the maintained street and road mileage which was reduced due
to unavailable Gas Tax funding.
