SUBJECT: Resolution of Change to the Freeway Agreements for State Route 217 and State Route 101 with the State of California, Department of Transportation for the San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Northern and Southern Segments Project
RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. Adopt Resolution No. 24 -___ entitled “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Goleta, California, Approving a Resolution of Change to the City of Go leta – State of California Freeway Agreement for Route 101 to Reflect the Construction of a Class 1 Bike Path Under State Route 101 Near the State Route 101 and State Route 217 Interchange;” and
B. Adopt Resolution No. 24 -___ entitled “A Resolution of the Ci ty Council of the City of Goleta, California, Approving a Resolution of Change to the City of Goleta – State of California Freeway Agreement for Route 217 to Reflect the Construction of a Class 1 Bike Path Along State Route 217 From East of Sandspit Rd to the Hollister Avenue Interchange.”
BACKGROUND:
A typical Freeway Agreement documents the understanding between the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and a local agency regarding the planned traffic circulation features of a prop osed freeway. The Freeway Agreement defines which local streets will be closed, which will connect to the State facility, the location of frontage roads, which streets will go under or over the State facility and how streets may be relocated or otherwise modified.
On May 3, 2022, the Council adopted a Resolution (Resolution 22 -16) approving a Freeway Agreement for State Route 217 (SR 217) with the State of California (Attachment 3). The City entered into a Freeway Agreement for State Route 101 (SR 101) with Caltrans on April 18, 2008 (Agreement 2008-155) (Attachment 4). 1 Meeting Date: January 16, 2024
DISCUSSION:
Per Chapter 24 of Caltrans’ Project Development Procedures Manual, Article 8, a freeway agreement may be changed at any time by mutual consent with an approved project. The construction of the San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project will result in changes to both the existing Freeway Agreement for SR 101 and SR 217 with the addition of the new separated path located within Caltrans Right of Way at both locations.
The re solution of change procedure is used to document minor changes to the State highway or to the local roads within the limits of a current freeway agreement that may be taken as an intermediate step before superseding the current freeway agreement. The local agency (in this case the City) issues a resolution to request or agree with revisions to the existing freeway agreement to be incorporated into a superseding freeway agreement at some future date.
For SR 101 the proposed change includes the construction of the Class I Bike Path crossing underneath SR 101 within Caltrans right -of-way (ROW ), approximately 0.25 mile west of SR 101/SR 217 interchange at approximately Postmile 21.6 . Improvements include the placement of the paved path with retaining walls an d pedestrian railing as shown on Exhibit A of Attachment 1. For SR 217 the proposed change includes the addition of the Class I Bike Path adjacent to the western shoulder of SR 217 within the Caltrans ROW from east of Sandspit Road to west of the Hollister Avenue interchange.
Improvements include placement of a paved path with retaining walls and pedestrian rail as shown on Exhibit A of Attachment 2.
A Resolution of Change (ROC ) is required for each SR 217 and SR 101. The ROC references the existing freeway agreement, identifies the proposed changes; the addition of the new separated multipurpose beneath SR 101 and along SR 217, and includes their justifications. An exhibit map is attached (Exhibit A) for clarification.
The County of Santa Barbara has also approved a ROC for the changes to their SR 217 Freeway Agreement with Caltrans for the inclusion of the new San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project along and passing underneath SR 217 within the County’s jurisdiction. Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt both the ROC for SR 101 and the ROC for SR 217 (Attachments 1 and 2)
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts associated with the approval of the Resolutions of Change for SR 217 and SR 101.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council may elect not to adopt the ROC for either SR 217 or SR 101 or both.
However, if this occurs the San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project will not be able to 2 Meeting Date: January 16, 2024
proceed into the construction phase and thereby risk the loss of $18 M of Active Transportation funding.
