City Council, December 14

At the Concord City Council Meeting on December 14, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. (earlier starting time) two projects of interest will go before the City Council. The Transportation Action Team applauds the City Staff for their hard work in getting funding for these projects that will improve the mobility of bicyclists and pedestrians in our community.

Consent Calendar Item 3e.
Monument Corridor Pedestrian Infrastructure Improvements
City Staff recommends that the City Council award a construction contract. The project was scheduled for construction in 2009, but due to the budget crisis, the original Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC) grant funds were depleted. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) reprogrammed the TLC Grants to Surface Transportation Program (STP) and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Grants, and Staff obtained the replacement funding.

Consent Calendar Item 3h.
Monument Corridor Pedestrian and Bikeway Network Improvements
City Staff recommends that the City Council adopt resolutions to authorize the filing of applications for Transportation Development Act (TDA) Funds and State Transportation Improvement Program-Transportation Enhancement (STIP-TE) funds.
