CITY OF ~CHULA VISTA ---- 7/08/08, Item ~ ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHlJLA VISTA APPROVING THE SUBMITTA.L OF TWO GRA1'JT APPLICATIONS FOR FEDERAL SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL FUNDING CYCLE 2 TO IMPROVE PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES ALONG I STREET A-ND ALONG MOSS STREET DIRECTOR OF ENGINE~RING .tf:fj. CITY MANAGER / VJ;~ ASSISTANT CITYJ>r~IGER c;; r I 4/5THS VOTE: YES 0 NO rz::J SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: SUMMARY Section 1404 of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), authorized the Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program in August, 2005. The U.S. Congress authorized a five-year federal fi.mding for the program. This Resolution approves the filing of grant applications for two projects under Cycle 2 of the Federal Safe Routes to School Program. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section l5060(c)(3) ofthe State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no CEQA environmental review is necessary. Additionally, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the National Enviromnental Policy Act (NEPA) and has determined the activity is not subject to NEPA review at this time since it involves a grant application that has not been approved by the corresponding federal agency (Federal Highway Administration). If the grant application is approved for funding, then the activity would be subject to NEPA review and an appropriate determination made pursuant to sections 40 CFR 1508.4 and 23 CFR 771.117 (A). 5-1 7/08/08, Item Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the resolution BOARDS/COMMISSIONS: Not applicable. DISCUSSION Building on the success of California's Safe Routes to School Program (SR2S) and other similar programs in other states, Congress authorized a five-year federal funding program to achieve'the same purpose nationwide: I) to enable and encourage children in kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8), including children with disabilities, to safely walk and bicycle to school, 2) to make walking and bicycling to school a more appealing mode choice, and 3) to facilitate the planning, design, and implementation of projects that will improve safety, environment, and overall quality of life. Section 1404 of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), authorized the Federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program in August, 2005. Some expected outcomes of the program include: . Increased bicycle and pedestrian traffic safety around schools . More children walking and bicycling to and from schools . Decreased vehicular traffic congestion around schools . Reduced childhood obesity . Improved air quality, community safety and security, and community involvement . Improved partnerships among schools, local agencies, parents, and other stakeholders Applications must be for either infrastmcture or non-infrastmcture projects. Infrastmcture projects are capital improvements within a two-mile radius of a grade school or middle school that make it safer or more convenient for children and adults who walk or bicycle to school; e.g. installation of crosswalks, gap closures along sidewalks or bicycle trails, signage Non-infrastmcture projects are education, encouragement, enforcement activities that promote walking and bicycling to school; e.g. public safety awareness campaigns, installation of bicycle racks and lockers in schools, acquisition of mobile vehicle speed monitoring equipment that can be transported from school to school. The SRTS Program is a reimbursement program. SRTS projects are 100 % reimbursable where a determination has been made that all work is eligible. No local match is required. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) administers the SRTS Program in the Division of Local Assistance in partnership with the District Local . Assistance Engineers (DLAE) in each of the 12 Districts. For Cycle 2 of the Federal Safe Routes to School Program, it is recommended that the City apply for funding for the following proposed pedestrian improvement projects, which are further detailed in the draft grant applications provided in Attachment I. All of the proposed improvements are within the two-mile radius as required by the program. The deadline for the applications is July 18, 2008. I.
