Page 3 of 3 <br />OUTREACH <br />The Santa Rita Road Safety Project was presented to the PTSAP stakeholders meeting on <br />April 21, 2026, the BPTC on April 21, 2026, and at a community meeting on May 7, 2026. As <br />described in the separate Agenda Item for adoption of the PTSAP, extensive community and <br />stakeholder engagement was conducted as part of that process, providing numerous <br />opportunities for input on the priorities and scope of recommended safety improvements. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this action advances the Citywide strategic goal of Funding Our Future to “identify <br />expanded and new revenue sources to address significant infrastructure needs” as well as <br />Investing in Our Environment, to “continue to invest in parks, bicycle, and pedestrian <br />infrastructure, and public art.” This action will allow the opportunity for the City to secure <br />significant new grant funding in support of a planned capital improvement project. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no direct fiscal impact due to this action. Should the City be selected for a grant <br />award, staff will return to the City Council to obtain authorization to accept the funding and <br />approve the funding agreement. At that time, staff would also bring a request for authorization <br />for any necessary budget actions, including the appropriation of funds for the local match and <br />amendments to the revenue and expenditure budgets to account for the new funding. <br /> <br />The SS4A grant requires a 20 percent local match; if the City is awarded the full $25 million, a <br />local match of $5,000,000 will be required. A combination of Traffic Impact Fee Funds <br />($3,700,000) and Measure BB funds ($1,300,000) is available for the local match. The US <br />DOT anticipates announcing grant awards in October 2026 and executing funding agreements <br />within 12 months of announcement. It is possible that a different combination of funds may be <br />used when executing a funding agreement (estimated to occur in October 2027). These <br />elements will be brought to the Council at a future meeting following a notice of award. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> <br />Cedric Novenario, Senior <br />Transportation Engineer <br />Ellen Clark, Director of Community and <br />Economic Development <br /> <br /> <br />Gerry Beaudin, City <br />Manager <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
