Welday, Director of Engineering Services/City Engineer By: Jerry A. Dyer, Principal Civil Engineer Subject: TRAIL PRIORITIES LIST ANNUAL REVIEW RECOMMENDATION m ,� ' RANCHO UCAMONGA It is recommended that the Trails Advisory Committee review and approve the recommended Trail Priorities List. BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The Trails Advisory Committee provides priorities to staff for construction and completion of trails throughout the City through the annual Trail Priorities List. Given limited funding for construction of the City's trail system, existing trails have been typically constructed in conjunction with development or through the use of funds collected as part of the Beautification Fee program. In 2014, the City reviewed the development related fee programs and eliminated the Beautification Fee program. In addition to Beautification Fee funds, the City has utilized funds from the former Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and grant programs such as the Federal and State Safe Routes to School program (SRTS) and the Transportation Development Act Article 3 program (TDA) to construct trail improvements. Trail projects completed since Fiscal Year 2012/2013 include: • Foothill Boulevard Bike and Pedestrian Bridge - $9,000,000 (RDA) • Deer Creek Bike Trail Improvements - $200,000 (SRTS & Beautification Fee funds) • Day Creek & Deer Creek Bike Trail Improvements - $300,000 (TDA & local Infrastructure funds) Current grant opportunities for trail improvements are limited and although the City has been competitive in obtaining grant funds in the past, the use of these funds is limited to certain modes of transportation such as pedestrians and bicycles. Given these limited funding opportunities, it is recommended that the Committee approve the recommended Trail Priority List. If approved, this list will serve as guidance to staff in prioritizing projects for future grant opportunities. It should be noted that the projects listed may not meet the requirements for future grants. In these cases, staff will continue to attempt to identify projects that both meet grant requirements and further the development of the City's trail system. RECOMMENDED TRAILS PRIORITY LIST Archibald Avenue from north of Norbrook Drive to Carrari Street — Trail on the west side and continuation of the existing trail on Archibald Avenue. Note, this trail improvement removes a section of public LMD landscaping and trees, thus reducing water costs and maintenance, and most likely reducing the overall cost of maintenance along this stretch. This project has been included in the proposed Capital Improvements Program for funding in Fiscal Year 2016/2017 with remaining Beautification Fee funds in the amount of $150,000. 2.
