>BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Transportation. Commission .(MTC). sponsors the Regional Transportation for
Livable Communities: (TLC) Fundng.Program, which is part ofthe;federal Congestion
Mitigation and Air"Quality Iinprouement.;(CMAQ) program,: On April 5, 2010, the City Council
'authorized staff to apply for TLC fundngfor the Petaluma Boulevard South Road Diet Project,
with support from.the Petaluma Downtown.Association, and.authorized,the use of $169,400 of
Proposition 1B funds.. On July 14, 20T0;.staffreceived notification.from MTC of award of the
grant irr the amount. of $708';000. The April. Sth resolution reflects a grant request of $677,600.
1V1TC later increased the. grant award amount to compensate for some additional grant conditions
of approval.
DISCUSSION
The Petaluma Boulevard South Road. Diet will reconfrgure the current 4-through lanes to 2-
through lanes and- .one two-way left- turn. lane, -from Washington, Street to D Street, with a
transition o E Street in order o provide adequately: ized dnving and. parking lanes that will
improve safety for all. modes of transportation and encourage more bicycle and pedestrian use.
Agenda Review:
City Attorney Finance Director ,! ~ City Manager
This proposed complete street project is adjacent to, and a continuation of, the recently
completed Petaluma Boulevard North road diet project, which was also partially funded by TLC.
The work is primarily restriping of the existing roadway, but will also include traffic signal
modification to accommodate the new lane configuration. As part of this process, a minor, non-
structural pavement surface treatment will be required to eliminate the existing, striping.
In anticipation of the grant,, staff canvassed the downtown businesses regarding this project, and
subsequently met with the Petaluma Downtown Association to present the project and address
the business community's concerns about traffic circulation, loading zones. and parking. The
reduction in the number of lanes allows for the inclusion of a Class 3 bike delineation, and
promotes pedestrian activity by improving safety. The lane reduction also provides an
opportunity for additional on-street parking. Design and public outreach may result in inclusion
of additional bike racks and landscaping .into the project area. Public outreach, which began
prior to the grant application, will.be continued through all phases of the project.
If the grant is accepted by City Council, staff will request Caltrans authorization for design
funding, followed by a design consultant request for proposals. If the grant is not accepted, the
City will forfeit the grant funds and no improvements will be made on Petaluma Boulevard
South at this time.
FINANCIAL, IMPACTS
MTC awarded the City of Petaluma $708,000 for the Petaluma Boulevard South Road Diet
Project and requires a local match of 20%. $169,400 of 2008-09 Proposition 1B Local Streets
and Roads Improvement funds and $28,839 in Street Maintenance Operating funds are estimated
to meet the required 20% match, plus pay the City's overhead (total request of $198,239). Use
of funds from the Street Maintenance Operating Budget for this purpose was planned, and will
not impact maintenance or repair of roads. The City must meet funding schedules set by MTC
and Caltrans, and therefore, construction is expected to occur in 2012.
Following is the total project costestimate which will be further refined during the project
development process.
