AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE REQUEST TO THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FISCAL YEAR 07/08 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT
ACT ARTICLE 3 PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLE PROJECT FUNDING
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Petaluma Boulevard Bicycle Lane Project is a joint City and County of Sonoma
project which will require shoulder widening to provide for Class II bicycle lanes on both
sides of Petaluma Boulevard North, from Shasta Lane to the Petaluma River bridges near
Bailey Avenue. The project is eligible for grant funding from the Transportation
Development Act (TDA) Article 3 Program, through Sonoma County Transportation
Authority (SCTA). The total project cost (including design, grant management,
construction management, inspection, testing, and contingency) is estimated at
$1,458,856.00.
2. BACKGROUND:
Resolution 2005-199 was passed approving an application for a Bicycle Transportation
Account (BTA) grant in November 2005. The project on Petaluma Boulevard North
begins at Shasta Lane and continues north past the City limits to the beginning of the
bridge at Petaluma River. The project includes slight widening of the roadway of varying
widths to provide adequate width and signage and pavement marking to meet Caltrans
Class II bike lane standards. This shared grant was awarded proportionally to both the
City and County.
In recent meetings with the County, staff was made aware that the grant funding may not
be adequate to cover the cost of the project. Staff has since created a more detailed
engineer's estimate and created an estimated total project cost well exceeding the grant
funding. In an effort to cover a portion of this shortfall, we are applying for a second
grant, Transportation Development Act(TDA)Article 3 Program, through SCTA.
A current County shortfall exists, but it is anticipated that the County will be able to
provide adequate funding prior to the beginning of construction.

3. ALTERNATIVES:
A. Pass attached resolution approving application for grant funding and proceed with the
project as described.
B. Do not pass attached resolution and seek funding elsewhere for the project, as
described, or a shortened version of this project ending at Corona Road. Changing
the limits of the project would require an amendment to the existing BTA grant.
C. Do not complete the project.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
City County Total
Project Cost $619,828.00 $839,028.00 $1,458,856.00
BTA Grant $318,150.00 $312,350.00 $630,500.00
TDA3 application $156,727.00
Cost after grants $144,951.00 $526,678.00
Additional Funding $169,000.00
Local Match $144,951.00 1 $357,678.00 $502,629.00
5. CONCLUSION:
Residents will have available Class II bicycle lanes on both sides of Petaluma Boulevard
North from Shasta Lane to the Petaluma River bridges near Bailey Avenue.
6. OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION:
Shoulder widening will provide for Class H bicycle lanes on both sides of Petaluma
Boulevard North from Shasta Lane to the Petaluma River bridges near Bailey Avenue.
7. RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approves the Application for grant funding for the Petaluma
Boulevard North Bicycle Lane Project from the Transportation Development Act (TDA)
Article 3 Program.
