A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIGNAL HILL, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A LIST OF PROJECTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23 TO BE FUNDED BY SB 1 – THE ROAD REPAIR AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017) was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in April 2017 in order to address the significant multi-modal transportation funding shortfalls statewide; and WHEREAS, SB 1 includes accountability and transparency provisions that will ensure the residents of the City of Signal Hill are aware of the projects proposed for funding in our community and which projects have been completed each fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the City of Signal Hill must include a list of all projects proposed to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), created by SB 1, which must include a description and the location of each proposed project, a proposed schedule for the project’s completion, and the estimated useful life of the improvement; and WHEREAS, the City of Signal Hill will receive an estimated $264,806 in RMRA funding in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 from the SB 1 program; and WHEREAS, the City of Signal Hill used the Spring Street Overlay Project, Citywide Sidewalk Repair Program and Pavement Management System to develop the SB 1 project list to ensure revenues are being used on the most high-priority and cost-effective projects that also meet the communities priorities for transportation investment; and WHEREAS, the funding from the SB 1 program will help the City of Signal Hill maintain and rehabilitate streets throughout the City; and WHEREAS, the 2016 California Statewide Local Streets and Roads Needs Assessment found that the City of Signal Hill streets and roads are in a “good” condition and this revenue will help us increase the overall quality of our road system and over the next decade will bring our streets and roads into an “excellent” condition; and WHEREAS, if the Legislature and Governor failed to act, city streets and county roads would have continued to deteriorate, having many and varied negative impacts on our community; and WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market needs, interconnectivity, multi-modal needs, and commerce; and WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the pedestrian experience safer and more appealing; and WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time which results in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off; and WHEREAS, the SB 1 project list and overall investment in our local streets and roads infrastructure with a focus on basic maintenance and safety, investing in complete streets infrastructure, and using cutting-edge technology, materials and practices, will have significant positive co-benefits statewide.
