ASSISTAl\!T DIRECTOR OF ENG EE~ CITY MANAGER~ ASSIST At'\fT CITY1tN~GER S --; 4/5THS VOTE: YES [g] NO 0 SUMMARY The City of Chula Vista has been awarded $237,500 in grant funding from the Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) Program for projects identified by Congress in Federal Fiscal Year 2009. This grant will be used to deterrmne specific design features for future light rail trolley grade separation projects within the City of Chula Vista. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed action consisting of the acceptance of grant funding for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that this action qualifies for a Class 6 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15306 (Information Collection) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because the proposed action will result in the preparation of a pre-design study potentially lea.ding to an action which the City of Chula Vista has not yet approved, adopted or funded. Thus, no further CEQA environmental review is necessary. In addition, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed action for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) due to the use of U.S. 10-1 9/15/09, ItemK Page 2 of 4 Department of Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) funds and has determined, together with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), that these funds and the designated purpose would qualify for a categorical exclusion determination pursuant to Section 771.117 (c) (1) [Activities which do not involve or lead directly to constmction, such as planning and technical studies] Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Thus, no further NEPA environmental review or documentation is necessary at this time. RECOMMENDA nON Council adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) Office solicited applications for Federal Fiscal Year 2009 (FFY2009) grant funding from the Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) Program for projects identified by Congress. Section 1117 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act; A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) reauthorized the TCSP Program through FFY2009. Recently, Caltrans informed the City of Chula Vista that the TCSP grant application for $237,500 in TCSP funds was approved (See Attachment # 1). Over the past several years, City staff has been working with Congressman Filner regarding additional funding needed for ultimate improvements along the Interstate-5 corridor and as such were successful in obtaining $1,987,200 in SAFETEA-LU funds for the corridor. Originally, staff had asked for $2,160,000 in Federal funds and with a 20% minimum local match of $540,000 required, the project total was $2.7 mlllion. Although the original 1-5 Multi-modal grant application totaled $2.7 million, in 2005, Congress reduced the SAFETEA-LU program by 8% in order to help fund the recovery efforts due to Hurricane Katrina. The current budgeted funds for Project STM-36l (SANDAG RTIP # CHV30) included $540,000 in TransNet funds and $1,987,200 in Federal SAFETEA-LU funds for a total of $2,527,200 detailed below: Existing Budgeted Funds for Project: Fund Amount %a!!e Comment TransNet 540,000 21.37% Minimum 20% Local Match required. SAFETEA-LU 1,987,200 78.63% Total 2,527,200 100.00% The $237,500 in TCSP funds would augment the previous SAFETEA-LU funds and allow a more refined pre-design study ofthe Light Rail Trolley system through Chula Vista. This project study will be able to provide specific design features of grade-separating the LRT at locations near the following Transit Stations in Chula Vista: E Street, H Street and Palomar Street. Based on this study, the costs for each of these crossings would be updated as well as the project limits for each of the crossings. One consideration to be evaluated is at the E Street 10-2 9/15/09, HemE Page 3 of 4 Transit Station. If during redevelopment of the area this station's loading platform is moved further south towards F Street, then the at-grade crossing at F Street may also have to be grade separated. Also, this study would help identIfy critical design elements that would impact construction costs. The application estimated the study to cost $300,000 with grant funds to be $237,500 (79%) and a local match of $62,500 (21 %). Since this work is integral to the 2008 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) Project CHV30, the funds will be shown as a new funding source for this project. As such, the total project budget will be increased to show this additional funding source. Since a minimum 20% local match must be shown for the 52,224,700 in Federal funds (51,987,200 + $237,500 = $2,224,700), the project must have at least $556,175 (20% minimum needed) in local funds in order to fully utilize the maximum amount of the grant. This would then require an addItional local match of$16,175 ($556,175 - $540,000). Project CHV30 is described as, "1-5 Multi-modal Corridor Improvement Study" and it is for conducting a study to examine multi-modal improvements to the [-5 corridor between the Main Street interchange and State Route 54 (See Attachment #2). An RTIP amendment will be done to revise this budget. Proposed budgeted funds for Proiect: Fund Amount %age Comment ITransNet 556,175 20.00% Minimum 20% Local Match required. SAFETEA-LU 1,987,200 71.46% TCSP I 237,500 8.54% Total 2,780,875 100.00% I With each rail grade separation project estimated to cost approximately 535 million, it is imperative that the design elements and potential constmction impediments be identified early in the process so that decisions can be made to minimize construction costs. With at least three grade separation projects being considered and possibly more, this would represent a future constmction cost for the local agency, region, State and Federal agencies of approximately S 100 million. The phasing for these projects has not yet been determined and that is part of the on- going 1-5 Multi-modal Corridor Study that City staff is working on with Caltrans and SANDAG. 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, which are the subject of thIS action. CURRENT FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the General Fund. At this time, staff recommends appropriating the TCSP Grant funds to STM36l in the amount of 5237,500 and authorizing an interproject transfer of $16,175 in TransNet funds from existing CIP STL298 to STM361 as necessary to meet the local match. STL298 has sufficient TransNet funds available for the transfer. The Federal funds are reimbursed as invoices are submitted and approved by Caltrans. Staff will process the RTIP amendment for CHV30 with SA1'lDAG as part of the next RTIP update. 10-3 9/15/09, Item~ Page 4 of 4 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The study would help to identify critical design construction costs. Any ongoing fiscal impacts would be related to construction' and would be provided at that time. ATTACHMENTS 1. Transportation, Community, and System Preservation (TCSP) Program Grant Application. 2.

Project Abstract (Maximum 4 sentences) Briefly describe the how the TCSP Programfunds will be used to support the proposed project. San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) staff has evaluated at-grade light rail and railroad crossings and has ranked the highest regional priorities for grade separation. Their actions in May of 2008 recommended submittal of four regionally important and competitive grade separation projects to the California Transportation Commission for State (Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account) funding. These four locations included the E and H Street crossings in Chula Vista. The TCSP Program funds will be used to conduct a more refined' study to determine specific design features of grade separation at Light Rail Trolley (LRT) crossings at the following locations near Transit Stations in the City of Chula Vista: E Street, H Street and Palomar Street Part C. Project Narrative Describe the project and the expected results, including project goals and time frame. Describe how the project integrates transportation, community, and system preservation plans and practices that address one or more of the following: 1) Improve the efficiency of the transportation system of the United States. 2) Reduce the impacts of transportation on the environment. 3) Reduce the need for costly fitture investments in public infrastructure. 4) Provide efficient access to jobs, services, and centers of trade. 5) Examine community development patterns and identify strategies to Updated: July 1,2009 10-6 p,2 encourage private sector development that achieves the purposes identified in (1) through (4). The "2030 San Diego Regional Transportation Plan, Final November 2007" (2030 RTP) envisions a regional transit system that is the first choice for many of our trips. The long-range transit vision calls for a network of fast, flexible, reliable, safe, and convenient transit services that connect our homes to the region's major employment centers and major destinations. The RTP is based on a network of rail, bus rapid transit (BRT), arterial rapid bus, and local bus services working together as a system to address a wide range of travel needs. This plan puts a greater emphasis on serving the region's urban core areas and Smart Growth areas where land use densities and urban design are conducive to transit. The E, H and Palomar Street transit stations are all located within City of Chula Vista Smart Growt!]. areas. Transit investments can help steer growth into smart growth centers/corridors, thereby improving the efficiency of the transportation system and reducing impacts on the environment. Highway investment should support transit services by developing HOV and other high occupancy facilities that benefit public transit. As part of the urban core focus, "Transit Focus Areas" around the E, H and Palomar Street transit stations all represent key, areas where significant improvements are planned for rail, BRT, arterial rapid, and local bus services. As transit service frequency is increased over time, it will become important to examine the need for rail grade separations at critical intersections throughout the region. The current traffic Level of Service (LOS) is E or F (failing) at E Street and H Street near the trolley crossings and the 1-5 freeway ramps. Grade separation would improve the LOS to an acceptable level of D or better during rush hour. The combined intersection delays for east-west traffic on E Street and H Street would be reduced by between l7 and 40 seconds per vehicle. Palomar Street, similar to E Street and H Street crossings and ranked regionally with these crossings, currently does not meet the City's minimum acceptable traffic level of service for local street traffic. The grade separation project would also contribute to the City's Palomar Trolley Center redevelopment, a transit- oriented beautification project that would contribute towards private sector development of a low-income area. Updated: July 1,2009 10-7 p. 3 This study would provide preliminary conceptual design alternatives for grade separation at each of the three locations. This would include alignments, cost estimates, layouts, profiles, typical sections and site plans. Station improvements, structures and light rail/freight rail design geometries would be provided and coordinated with preliminary highway geometries developed by Caltrans. Time span for preparation of the report would be approximately 24 months with a predicted completion date of June 2011. Part D. Project Eligibility a. Is the project located on a Federal-aid highway? (List the functional class(es) of the facility(ies) to be improved) Yes. E Street, H Street and Palomar St. near the trolley crossings are all minor arterials. b.
