Strategic Plan Obiective This project will modify existing roadway signing and striping installations related to bicycle and golf cart lanes. As such, it is relevant to achieving the goals of Priority 3 of the Transportation section of the Strategic Plan: Priority 3. De-emphasize single/low occupancy vehicles and optimize multiple modes of travel (bus, carpool, golf cart, bicycle and pedestrian). Background In reaction to several fatal bicycle collisions that have occurred in the Coachella Valley within the past few years, staff reviewed the layout of existing Class II bike/golf cart lanes within the City in relation to current design standards as set forth in the California MUTCD 2014 Edition. Upon review, staff identified 74 locations that were out of compliance with current standards. Staff estimates that the cost to complete the improvements at the 74 locations will be $170,000. The proposed project locations are shown on the attached Project Locations Exhibit. The substandard locations primarily occur at intersection approaches. The improvements needed to bring the locations up to current standards will require signing/striping modifications and traffic signal detection improvements. The proposed modifications range from simple, to moderate, to extensive. Simple improvements include minor striping and signage improvements. Moderate improvements include striping and pavement marking removals, striping and pavement marking installations and additional signage. Extensive improvements include striping and pavement marking removals, striping and pavement marking installations, additional signage and modification of traffic signal vehicle detection equipment. Examples of Staff Report Receive And File Information Regarding Submittals Of Two Grant Applications Page 2 of 2 May 25, 2017 the type of improvements to be performed by this project are depicted in the attached Class II Bike\Golf Cart Improvement Exhibit. Modification of existing Class II bike/golf cart lanes to meet current design standards will increase safety to users of the bike/golf cart facilities as well as to the motoring public. Two grant funding opportunities related to bicycle and pedestrian safety became available earlier this year, as described below: TDA Article 3 (SB 821). Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities. Biennial Call for Proiects - Administered by the Riverside County Transportation Commission, SB 821, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program, is provided through the Transportation Development Act, funded through a 1/4 cent of the general sales tax collected statewide. $3,467,784 is available for the FY 17/18 call for projects. SB 821 requires a 50 percent local funding match for any funds awarded. 2017 Bicycle and Pedestrian Program — This program is a new funding source recently offered by the Coachella Valley Association of Governments. The program has set aside $10,000,000 in funds for projects that improve pedestrian and bicycle safety throughout the Coachella Valley. The program requires a 25 percent local funding match for any funds awarded. $85,000 has been included in the Fiscal Year 2016-2017 budget to perform bike and golf cart lane improvements. These funds are sufficient to provide for the required local match should the City be awarded funds from either of the two grant sources. If the City is fortunate enough to be awarded funding from both sources, the CVAG funding would be utilized first because of the 25 percent City and 75 percent CVAG split. The SB 821 funds would then be used as a source for the City's matching fund requirement for the CVAG funding. Fiscal Analysis There is no additional fiscal impact associated with this ac,ion is time. Prepared By: Mark iercks, P.E. Transportation Engineer M.

The City's proposed project includes improvements to bike and golf cart lanes to bring them into compliance with current design standards and make them safer for users. The City has identified 74 Class II bike/golf cart lane locations throughout the City for improvement. Improvements include: striping, signage, and modification of traffic signal detection equipment. We believe that modification to these locations will improve bicycle safety near intersections and areas where potential bicycle and vehicle conflicts exist. The project is estimated to cost $170,000 and, if selected, the City will obtain bids from qualified contractors to complete the project. If you have any questions regarding the City's interest in participating in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program, please contact the Department of Community Development at (760) 346- 0611, Extension 384.
