Title
PUBLIC HEARING - AMEND SIX YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (T.I.P.) FOR 2012-2017
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Improve Transportation Systems
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year, the City adopts a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.) identifying transportation projects to be addressed during the subsequent six-year period. Any project receiving federal or state funds must be identified on the T.I.P., but the T.I.P. also identifies projects we intend to submit for grant funding. Throughout the year, priorities may change, additional projects may be identified, and project funding sources may change. Following a public hearing, the T.I.P. may be amended to account for such changes.
The current 2012 - 2017 T.I.P was adopted by the City Council on June 9, 2011 (Res. No. 1993). Staff recommends amending the 2012 - 2017 T.I.P. to include new pedestrian improvement projects, and to include new transit grants and grants not complete from prior years. In order to receive this funding, the T.I.P. must be amended to identify these grant funds.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct the public hearing.
