BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the San Bernardino County Transit Authority (SBCTA) Board of Directors authorized the release of a call for projects seeking Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3 funds.
Approximately $3,900,000 in TDA, Article 3 funds were made available for projects that included bicycle and pedestrian projects throughout the County of San Bernardino.
In July of 2017, the City of Yucaipa submitted a grant application requesting TDA, Article 3 funds for the design and construction of bicycle and pedestrian improvements for the dirt parking lot used for access to multi -use trails located along Oak Glen Road near Shadow Hills Drive in the City of Yucaipa. On October 16, 2017, SBCTA informed the City that it had successfully obtained approval for $89,728 in TDA, Article 3 grant funds.
The Oak Glen Road Bicycle and Pedestrian facility Improvements Project (Project) consists of minor grading, asphalt paving and striping of the undeveloped dirt parking area, installation of a bicycle rack, installation of a covered pedestrian and cyclist rest area with tables, construction of sidewalk for ADA access, and installation of an informational kiosk and signage providing educational information regarding the benefits of non -motorized transportation.
TDA, Article 3 grant funds are paid through a reimbursement process. SBCTA requires a resolution before submitting for reimbursement. Consequently, staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-04, authorizing staff to file reimbursement claim forms for reimbursement of funds in the amount of $89,728 from the TDA, Article 3 program for the improvements specified in the grant application.
