AGENDA
ITEM NO. C-7e
DATE February 6, 1996
SUBJECT: 1995-96', TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT (TDA) FUNDING
SUMMARY: Each year, pursuant to SB 821, the State of California provides
funds for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. In order to claim
these funds, it is necessary that the City apply for them. These
funds will be needed for this year's sidewalk program. The
1995-96 TDA allocation is $37,392.
BACKGROUND
TDA funds are used by the City to complete sidewalk installations for the fill in of gaps in
sidewalk on major and secondary streets. Over the years TDA funding ranging from $25,000-
40,000 per year has. been the major source of funds for new sidewalk construction. In order to
claim the yearly TDA appropriations, an application must be filed with the Los Angeles County
Transportation Commission as authorized by resolution of the City Council.
ANALYSIS
The City of West Covina has been allocated $37,392 for 1995-96. The cost estimate for this
year's sidewalk construction project is $115,000 with the remaining funds coming from
previously allocated TDA funds. The project will provide sidewalks at various locations to fill
in gaps in sidewalks. Part of this year's project is a survey of the City to identify the most
beneficial locations for sidewalk construction.
The City Council should authorize the City Engineer to submit an application for those TDA
funds allocated to the City of West Covina so that this year's sidewalk project can be funded.
FISCAL IM
The $37,392 will partially fund this year's priority sidewalk construction project. These funds
are restricted and can only be used for construction of bikeway and/or pedestrian facilities in
public rights of way.
ALTERNATIVES
The only alternatives would be to forgo construction of new sidewalk and return the funds to the
State for redistribution to other agencies.
