extensions, bikeway improvements, new wheelchair ramps, street lighting, sidewalks improvements, traffic signal, median islands, and radar feedback signs.
These projects (Exhibits 1-5) were not previously included in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) due to funding being identified after the FY 2023-24 CIP program had been finalized and approved, which is typical. Approval of this action will allow staff to commence work on the environmental phase for these projects to commence this January 2024. Caltrans award notification letter and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) award list are attached as Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7, respectively.
