Description of Projects:
825530 - Transportation Model Update
This project provides funding for the Transportation Model Update. The City's Transportation Impact Fee is based upon long range projections of roadway capacity needs from a computerized Transportation Model. Updating the Transportation Model provides the City with a basis for upholding a fair valuation of the Transportation Impact Fee. This important source of transportation improvement revenue benefits residents, travelers, and developers in the City by allocating a fair share of the cost of transportation system expansion to the land development contributing to the need for the improvements. These improvements will be needed to support the build-out of the land use projections of the General Plan. Therefore, the model update is necessary every five years over the life of the General Plan.
832060 - ITS - Advance Traffic Management System
Advance Traffic Management System (ATMS) is being deployed throughout the City. This system monitors the traffic in real time and assigns the green light timing depending on demand while maintaining traffic progression on the main corridors. The system helps reduce the delays, congestion, and pollutant air emissions along the connected corridors. ATMS will form the backbone for deployment and integration of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) capabilities throughout the City.
832440 - Mary Avenue Overcrossing Environmental Impact Report The project will complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Mary Avenue Overcrossing between the intersection of Mary Avenue and Almanor Avenue to the intersection of 11th Avenue and E Street. The overcrossing will span Routes 101 and 237. The project provides multimodal connectivity to support the level and type of development envisioned in the Moffett Park Specific Plan. The project will complete traffic analyses and environmental impact review associated with four project options including:
· A four-lane Mary Avenue with dedicated bike lanes and sidewalks · A two-lane Mary Avenue with enhanced bike lanes and sidewalks · A bicycle and pedestrian crossing

832910 - Bernardo Avenue Bicycle Undercrossing Environmental Analysis The Bernardo Avenue Undercrossing environmental analysis project will provide environmental clearance to allow the undercrossing to be built at a later date. The undercrossing will provide a bicycle and pedestrian connection on Bernardo Avenue near Evelyn Avenue and Central Expressway under the Caltrain Railroad tracks and Central Expressway.
832920 East Sunnyvale Area Transportation Improvements
This project includes improvements in the East Sunnyvale Area Sense of Place. All improvements are located in the East Sunnyvale Area as defined in the plan and include bicycle lanes and enhancements, transit stop upgrades, crosswalk installation and enhancements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, reduced curb radii at intersections, and bike box signal modifications.
832930 Fair Oaks Avenue Bike Lanes and Streetscape - Phase 2 This project is necessary to complete the bicycle lanes on Fair Oaks Avenue, between California Avenue to Wolfe Road, to provide a continuous facility for bicycle riders. It will also provide visible enhancements including green bike lanes to the existing bicycle lane between Old San Francisco Road to Ahwanee Avenue, and the bike detection systems throughout the corridor where possible.
832950 Java Drive Road Diet and Bike Lanes
This project will construct approximately 5,000 linear feet of Class II bike lanes or Class IV separated bikeway via a road diet on Java Drive. The project will also include bicycle detection at five signalized intersections for added bicycle travel convenience and may include color pavement treatments for vehicle conflict zones and protected intersections to improve bicycle safety. The new bicycle lanes on Java Drive will provide a connection to the Fair Oaks Avenue bicycle lanes south of Crossman Avenue.
833000 - Sunnyvale SNAIL Neighborhood Improvements – ATP The project will upgrade six intersections, including traffic signal equipment and hardware, will install Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) audible countdown interactive pedestrian signals, and infrared detection systems. The project will also close slip lanes, enhance existing bike lanes, add green bike lanes, create new bicycle lanes/routes and boulevards. The project will also add high visibility crosswalks at selected locations in the Sunnyvale Neighbors of Arbor including La Linda (SNAIL) and San Miguel Neighborhoods. The intersection of Wolfe Road and Fair Oaks Avenue has always been challenging to navigate by pedestrians and bicyclists. The project will consider the possibility of re-configuring this to a T-Intersection or a possible roundabout.
833020 - Future Traffic Signal Construction
This project provides funding for traffic signal construction and modification. This project involves installing new traffic signals and traffic signal communications. The locations of Attachment 1
City of Sunnyvale

these signal improvements are often determined by safety and operational analysis of the intersections, community input or by changes in traffic conditions.
833790 Pedestrian and Bicyclist Infrastructure Improvements This project will improve safety for students walking and biking to school in Sunnyvale by enhancing and/or modifying signing and striping and installing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps at thirty-four locations and installing Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons systems (RRFB) at five locations.
833800 Pedestrian/Bicycle Improvement - Homestead Road at Homestead High School The project improvements include traffic signal modifications at the Homestead Road/Mary Avenue and Homestead Road/Kennewick Drive intersections, pedestrian access enhancements such as installation of high visibility crosswalks, accessible pedestrian signals, shortening crossing for pedestrians where possible, installation of green buffered bike lanes on south side along Homestead Road between MacKenzie Drive and Mary Avenue, and on the north side along Homestead Road between Mary Avenue and Kennewick Drive.
833850 - Sunnyvale Safe Routes to School Improvements
At selected locations in the vicinity of Bishop Elementary School, the project will install bike lanes, high visibility crosswalks, raised or paved crosswalks, and curb extensions. New bike lanes on Maude Avenue between Pastoria Avenue and Wolfe Road will improve safety, and will connect surrounding neighborhoods to Bishop Elementary School and to other destinations like Fair Oaks park, Sunnyvale High and the commercial corridor on Mathilda Avenue.
Despite this, new bikeway barriers will remain for students travelling along Sunnyvale Avenue. Therefore, this project will consider a variety of improvements including removing slip lanes where possible to eliminate conflicts and reduce crossing distances, upgrading traffic signals and installing ADA compliant pedestrian signals, infrared bike detection systems, green bike box, high visibility crosswalks, and potentially installing of a raised or paved crosswalk in front of the school. In addition to the improvements, the project will provide bicycle and pedestrian education programs.
834100 - Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program - (SSARP) The project will develop a citywide coordinated safety plan that provides a comprehensive framework for reducing fatalities and severe injuries to all motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists on the City's Roadway System that will include 1) All roadway segments, 2) Signalized intersections, 3) Non-signalized intersections. The City maintains crash data in its Crossroads Software, which is regularly updated to keep data from the most recent two-week period.
835740 - Acquisition of 970 W. Evelyn Avenue
This project is to provide for the purchase of 970 W. Evelyn Avenue required for the Mary Avenue Grade Separation project. The purchase price of the property is $8.5M and the expenses to complete the sale is estimated to be $80,000. These expenses include due diligence items like environmental investigations, phase I, phase II and any other reports Attachment 1
