Report
SUMMARY OF COMMISSION ACTION
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 is a source of funding created by State legislation and processed through the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) that annually returns sales tax revenues designated for bicycle and pedestrian projects to local agencies. For FY 2024/25, the City will have $411,038 in TDA funding for reimbursement of eligible projects.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) considered this item at their February 15, March 21, and May 16, 2024 meetings.
At the May 16, 2024 BPAC meeting, staff recommended Alternative 1: Recommend to City Council to bank FY 2024/25 TDA Article 3 grant funding for the construction phase of Project No.1 to Install Sidewalk on Poplar Avenue to be consistent with Council's preliminary direction at the June 20, 2023 Council meeting.
However, BPAC voted for Alternative 2: Recommend to City Council to use the FY 2024/25 TDA Article 3 grant funding for:
* Project No. 2 - Convert all part-time bike lanes on Homestead Road into full-time bike lanes (Design Phase: $110,000); and
* Bank the remaining funds ($301,038).
The vote was 6-0, with 1 Commissioner absent.
