Project Description/Scope/Purpose
The goal of the Lakewood Safe Route to School Project is to encourage walking and biking for all ages and abilities, reduce vehicle speeds, reduce crossing distances for pedestrians, and improve visibility of pedestrians. The City’s 2020 Active Transportation Plan identified and prioritized locations, such as Lakechime Drive/Meadowlake Drive for safety improvements.
Improvements include curb radius reductions, curb extensions with ADA curb ramps, high visibility crosswalks, and pedestrian safety signs and striping, pavement improvements, and street signs and utilities relocation. Streetlights will be modified to enhance lighting conditions and improve visibility for the public. Green storm water infrastructure may also be implemented to better facilitate storm water runoff in the area.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
This project is necessary to improve the overall health, safety, and connectivity when walking or biking to school.
Fiscal Impact
The City received $1,750,000 of Priority Legislative Budget Projects (2023 AB102) funding for design and construction of safe routes to school improvements. There are no additional costs associated with this project. On October 29, 2024, City Council approved Budget Modification No. 4 (RTC 24-0945) to appropriate $1,750,000 in PLBP funding for the Lakewood SRTS project.

Project Description/Scope/Purpose
The project will implement pedestrian and Safe Routes to School improvements at three intersections; two intersections are near Columbia Middle School in the Sunnyvale Neighbors of Arbor Including La Linda (SNAIL) neighborhood, and one intersection is near Braly Elementary School in the Braly Corners neighborhood. The intersections include Borregas Ave./Hemlock Ave., Borregas Ave./Duane Ave., and Gail Ave./Gladiola Dr. The project will include installation of enhanced crossing improvements, Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB), high visibility crosswalks, advance yield markings, curb extensions, streetlight improvements, and incorporate green stormwater infrastructure elements.
In
2023, the City received the Community Project Funding / Congressionally Directed Spending (CPF/CDS) grant, managed by Caltrans, for the construction of the project in the amount of $880,000; which requires a 11.47% local match, for a total construction budget of $1,000,000. The environmental and design phases are being completed under CIP 833010 Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Improvements.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
The proposed improvements are located in two Communities of Concern in the City of Sunnyvale as identified by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the metropolitan planning organization for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area. The project improvements would enhance the crossing experience and safety for students walking to and from the two Sunnyvale neighborhood schools. Additionally, the project improvements are aligned with the recommendations of the City's adopted Active Transportation Plan (ATP), which addresses the needs of walking and biking. The ATP also focuses on implementing safe routes to school, and prioritizing biking and walking safely along students' path to school.
Fiscal Impact
The total construction cost is $1,000,000, of which $880,000 is from Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CPF/CDS) federal grant funds and a 11.47% local match of $120,000 is from CIP 836340 Transportation and General Fund Grant Matching.

Project Description/Scope/Purpose
This project will replace the existing street name signs throughout the City with updated signs that meet the latest California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) standards and requirements. The new signs will have easier to read fonts to improve accessibility of the signs throughout the City. Revisions include using upper and lowercase letters, using Clearview font, and using signs that provide the best retro reflectivity characteristics for nighttime viewing.
The City of Sunnyvale has replaced existing signs as part of other projects where applicable. This project will update the remaining signs over an 8 year period. Signs will be fabricated either by an outside contractor or by City crews, and the installation will be done by City crews. The 1st phase will replace 800 street name signs and 100 sign poles. The 2nd phase will replace 1000 street name signs and 150 sign poles. The 3rd phase will be 1000 street name signs and 150 sign poles.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) maintains the national standards for traffic control devices including street name signs. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) revises these standards to apply to California roadways. The latest versions of these standards have included changes to various aspects that apply to street name signs. The replacement will improve visibility for the City's aging population and overall general public, and bring the signs up to current standards. Many of the signs are fading, in need of replacement, and not in compliance with Federal and State standards.
Fiscal Impact
This project is funded by Gas Tax. All expenditures for the project will go towards the costs of fabricating and producing new street name signs, and installation throughout the City.

Project Description/Scope/Purpose
With the anticipated land use growth and climate change, there are planned transportation and sustainability-related improvements identified in order to address future conditions and needs. This project provides funding that will serve as local matching funds towards state and/or federal grant opportunities to plan, design, implement transportation or greenhouse gas reduction related projects. Additionally, there is $500k included to hire consultants to provide grant writing assistance.
Project Evaluation and Analysis
In recent years, the City adopted various plans to promote transportation safety, alternative transportation modes, sustainability and climate action. These plans identified potential improvements, programs and action items to be implemented in order to achieve the goals as identified in these plans. This project would provide dedicated funding for grant matching purposes and to hire consultants to prepare grant applications. This will allow the City to become more competitive when applying for federal or state grants.
Fiscal Impact
In December 2022, the City Council approved Budget Modification No. 8 (RTC 22-0746) in the amount of $21,845,844 to allocate funding from the General Fund. Of which, $2,500,000 has been allocated for grant matching associated with transportation, sustainability, or other General Fund supported grants. Out of the $2,500,000, $2,000,000 is set aside for the City ’s local match
portion for State and/or Federal grants while $500,000 is allocated towards grant writing assistance.
