As a result of the evaluation process, two Palo Alto projects which were not funded during the first cycle of TEA-21 funding last year have been included on the second cycle funding list: the PAMF/SOFA Caltrain Pedestrian/Bicycle Undercrossing Project ($2.3 million) and the Traffic Signal System Upgrade Projects ($885,000). In addition, the VTA has reserved additional State grant funds to offset the 11.5 per cent local match requirement associated with the TEA-21 grants. Consequently, the total grant funds the City will receive for these projects is $2.3 million for the PAMF/SOFA undercrossing and $1.0 million for the Traffic Signal System Upgrade. Any local funds or other funding identified for these projects could be used to supplement the project budgets. To complete the applications, the governing board of the agency sponsoring a funded project must adopt a Resolution approving the application for grant funds, agreeing to the local match requirement and committing to obligate the grant funds by September 30, 2002. To meet this accelerated and ambitious time line, the City must commit the necessary staff resources, and reassign priorities as necessary. As soon as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission approves the grant funding, staff proposes to return to Council with a Budget Amendment Ordinance to create a new capital improvement, project. Any adjustmerits to current City resources that are needed to implement these projects would be addressed at that time. The purpose of this staff report is to recommend that the Council adopt the attached resolution, indicating the intent to proceed with the projects. CMR:153:00 Page 1 of 7 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution (Attachment A), which authorizes the City Manager to submit grant applications for Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) funds for the following two bicycle/pedestrian improvement projects in the amounts indicated: Proiect Grant Amount (1) Palo Alto Medical Foundation/South of Forest Area (PAMF/SOFA) Caltrain Undercrossing Project $2,035,500 (2) Traffic Signal System Upgrade Project $885,000 BACKGROUND The Federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), the follow-up funding program to ISTEA, continues the Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding for transportation system management and operations projects. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) divided the six-year TEA-21 program into two 3-year funding cycles. The first cycle was programmed last year through a regional competition for funding. Palo Alto received $800,000 for the Embarcadero Bridge and Bike Path Project during the first cycle. This year, MTC has delegated the programming of the second cycle of funding to the Congestion Management Agencies in each of the counties in the region. In Santa Clara County, the VTA established a Transportation Systems Operations Task Force (TSO) composed of staff from each of the member agencies to develop the prioritized list projects to be forwarded to the VTA Board for approval. There is approximately $13.2 million available to Santa Clara County. Agencies receiving funding through this process must commit to providing an 11.5 percent local match and obligating the grant funds (through award of construction contracts) by September 30, 2002. However, VTA has provided funding to offset the local match requirement through a .set-aside of State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds that have been reserved for the purpose of covering any needed local match for Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funded projects. Consequently, any local funds or other funding identified for these projects would supplement the pr6ject budgets. Beginning in October 1999, the TSO Task Force began to develop the project priority list for the second cycle. The Task Force began with the prioritized list of unfunded projects from the first cycle scoring process last year. Palo Alto had three projects on the list, including the PAMF/SOFA undercrossing, traffic signal system upgrade, and California Avenue pedestrian/bicycle undercrossing. Agencies were given the opportunity to submit new projects if needed, which were evaluated by VTA staff using the same screening criteria as before. As a result of the screening process, 20 projects were recommended by the TSO Committee, including $2,035,000 for the PAMF/SOFA CMR:153:00 Page 2 of 7 Caltrain pedestrian/bicycle undercrossing and $885,000 for the Traffic Signal System Upgrade Project. The list was approved by the VTA Board in late December 1999 (see Attachment B). To complete the applications, the governing .board of the agency sponsoring a funded project must adopt a Resolution approving the application for grant funds, agreeing to the local match requirement and committing to obligate the grant funds by September 30, 2002. Resolutions are due to VTA staffby February 28, 2000. DISCUSSION Following is a brief description of the background, scope and benefits of each of the City’s projects. Further discussion of the costs and funding issues is provided in the Resource Impact section of this report. PAMF/SOFA Caltrain Pedestrian/Bicycle Undercrossing This project consists of design and construction of a new pedestrian/bicycle grade- separated crossing of the Caltrain tracks approximately 800 feet south of the Palo Alto Caltrain station platform between the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and the Homer/Alma intersection. The project will provide access from the SOFA residential and commercial areas to the new PAMF campus and to the Caltrain station via ’the new bike path constructed by PAMF along Urban Lane. The need for a new pedestrian/bicycle crossing of the railroad tracks was identified during the review of the plan for the new PAMF campus. The approved PAMF campus plan includes an area to accommodate a pedestrian/bicycle access/landing area for a future crossing and a connection to the existing segment of the Embarcadero Road bike path built by PAMF on its campus. In conjunction with the PAMF/SOFA Coordinated Area Plan study, a planning and feasibility study for the pedestrian/bicycle crossing of the Caltrain right-of-way in the vicinity of the Homer/Alma intersection was prepared. The study included evaluation of potential usage and crossing alternatives (including overcrossings, undercrossings and at-grade crossings). The study estimated the facility would attract up to 1,800 users a day. The study recommended that an undercrossing, rather than a bridge, be pursued as the most functional design for the anticipated combined use of the facility by pedestrians and bicyclists. Based on a construction cost estimate of $2.3 million developed during the feasibility study, the grant application was submitted to the VTA requesting $2,035,500 in TEA-21 funds, with the balance of $264,500 to be provided by the VTA set aside for local match. The total project cost, as recently revised and updated by Public Works staff, is $3.2 million, including design, construction, construction management, contingency and inflation costs, of which $2.65 million is currently secured from various sources. In addition to the $2.3 million in TEA-21 ~grant and VTA-STIP match funds, local funding of $350,000 is already committed to this project in the form of development mitigation payments from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Holiday Inn development projects. CMR: 153:00 Page 3 of 7 PAMF is required to pay a Railroad Crossing Mitigation Fee equal to 15 percent of the cost of a pedestrian/bicycle crossing up to a maximum of $300,000, adjusted annually for inflation. The Holiday Inn (for the Westin Hotel project) agreed to contribute $50,000 as a Public Benefit Assessment to the pedestrian undercrossing between PAMF and the south of downtown area. Traffic Signal System Upgrade Project The purpose of the project is to upgrade the central signal control system, replace all local signal controllers and cabinets at the City’s 89 traffic signals, and acquire new traffic signal system software. The project is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the City’s traffic signal system. The current VMS 330 signal master is approximately 14 years old and is beginning to breakdown more frequently for no apparent reason. In addition, some of the local controllers are also more than 10 years old, and many parts are not supported by the manufacturer. Some other problems include skipping certain timing plans, inaccurate clock and even problems that manufacturer cannot diagnose nor fix. The scope of the project is based on a recently completed traffic signal system evaluation study. The study included recommendations for a system overhaul that will bring the City’s signal system into compliance with National Transportation and Communication ITS Protocols (NTCIP), as well as the ability to communicate with neighboring jurisdictions (including traffic signals operated by Caltrans and Santa Clara County in Palo Alto). This project will, for example, improve signal interconnect coordination on the City’s collector and arterial system and facilitate future connection with other Smart Corridor System agencies. The new system would include the latest technologies that would allow for improved remote signal timing adjustment, priority control for transit (including Global Positioning System capability to determine if transit is on schedule) and video pedestrian/bike or vehicular detection. The project would also include a system that provides for ease of collecting and use of traffic count data for purposes of planning and evaluation. This data, together with improved technology in the newer system, will enable the City to better develop accurate timing plans, which will improve the flow of traffic in the whole system. This, in turn, will result in more efficient use of existing roadway capacity and eliminate or defer the need for added capacity in the future. The total cost of the full system replacement project is estimated to be $2.3 million, including design and construction. The TEA-21 grant of $885,000 will be supplemented with a set aside of $114,700 in STIP funds to cover the local match requirement. The balance of the project costs will be funded by the Electric Utility Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. While the project was always planned to be phased over several years, the TEA-21 grant will fund the basic project elements in a shorter time frame and reduce dependence on funding from the Electric Utility budget. CMR: 153:00 Page 4 of 7 ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution formally authorizing the City’s application for TEA-21 funds for the projects discussed in this report. If Council decides not to pursue one or both grants, staffwill advise VTA staffto withdraw one or both of the City’s applications from consideration. RESOURCE IMPACT Because the TEA-21 grant funds are disbursed on a reimbursement basis, City funds will need to be appropriated for these expenditures and then reimbursed by the grant funds. Staff will return to Council when the grants are formally approved with a Budget Amendment Ordinance. PAMF/SOFA Undercrossing Budget: The total cost of the project is currently estimated to be $3.2 million. The combination of TEA-21/STIP grant funds ($2.3 million) and local development mitigation fees from PAMF and the Holiday Inn ($350,000) will cover 83 percent of the currently projected cost, leaving a shortfall of $550,000, which in the absence of other outside funds, would need to be funded by the City General Fund. While staff will continue to pursue grant funding for this project over the next two years, with the expectation that a portion of the shortfall could be reimbursed from other outside funds, it is highly likely that the City will need to commit City funds in order to leverage the significant level of grant funds committed to this project already. Staff considers this project to be a very high priority due to its relationship to the SOFA Plan, its importance to the City’s bicycle system, and its likely contribution to realizing the "Dream Team" Intermodal Transit Center plan. Potential external funding sources include the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the private sector. Workload." This project has just developed to the feasibility study stage to date by the Planning Department. The project design and construction would be transferred from the Planning Department to the Public Works Department. Under the time line established for the grant funds, the City must commit to committing the grant funding in a construction contract by September 30, 2002. To meet this accelerated and ambitious time line, the City must commit the necessary staff resources, and reassignment of project priorities as necessary. As soon as MTC approves the grant funding, staff proposes to return to Council with a Budget Amendment Ordinance (BAO) to create a new CIP pr.oject so that work can begin on this project immediately. With this BAO staff will address the City resources needed to implement the project. Design and construction of the PAMF/SOFA Caltrain Undercrossing Project would be managed by Public Works Engineering. A detailed analysis of project workload and staffing was recently completed as part of the Infrastructure Management Plan. Existing staff resources have been committed to completing infrastructure projects that are included in the current five- year capital improvement program. Adding this new project will require adjustments either to staffing levels or to project schedules. Staff will also evaluate an option to CMR:153:00 Page 5 of 7 contract for project management services. Depending on which option is selected, additional funding from the City’s General Fund may be required to implement this project. Maintenance: Implementation of this project, together with other projects, continues to incrementally add to the regular need for maintenance within the Public Works budget. The Public Works Department would monitor this and other projects for cumulative maintenance impacts and pursue additional resources as needed through the budget process. Traffic Signal System Upgrade Budget: The total cost of this project is estimated to be $2.3 million which will be fully funded from a combination of TEA-21/STIP grant funds (totaling $1.0 million), previous Federal RSTOP grant funds ($313,000) and Electric Utility funding identified in the Capital Improvement Program budget for 2000-2004 ($1.0 million). Maintenance: This project is expected to reduce maintenance costs by 10-15 percent and facilitate easier installation and repairs by standardizing system equipment requirements. POLICY IMPLICATIONS The recommended actions in this report are consistent with a number of Comprehensive Plan Transportation policies including Policy T-14: Improve pedestrian and bicycle access to and between local destinations, Program T-21: Study projects to depress bikeways and pedestrian walkways under Alma Street and the Caltrain tracks and implement if feasible; and Program T-38: Implement computerized traffic management systems to improve traffic flow when feasible. In addition, the Draft Coordinated Plan for the South of Forest Area (SOFA) includes two policies related to this facility: Policy T-13: Support the construction of a railroad undercrossing at Homer and Alma. Funding sources include the existing PAMF contribution towards such a project and may include grant money, contributions from Stanford University, and City funds. Policy T-20: Facilitate implementation of the recommendations of the Railroad Crossing Feasibility Study to improve pedestrian access from SOFA to the PAMF campus and points west. TIMELINE The Metropolitan Transportation Commission is scheduled to act on the TEA-21 Corridor Management program in early April, with adoption of the projects into the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) in August. Funds will become available October 1;2000 (the beginning of the federal fiscal year). CMR: 153:00 Page 6 of 7 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An application for funds is not considered an action subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore no environmental assessment is needed at this time. The Environmental review for the PAMF/SOFA Caltrain undercrossing will be conducted prior to obligating the grant funds for this project. The NTCIP Traffic Signal System Upgrade Project was found to be categorically exempt under a previous environmental review under National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). ATTACHMENTS A.

STP/CMAQ Program Guidance FY 2000/01 - 2002/03 ATTACHMENT D-7 Corridor: Santa Clara Valley Subarea Prqiect: Palo Alto Medical Foundation/South of Forest Area Caltrain Pedestrian/Bicycle Undercrossing Project Description A new pedestrian!bicycle grade separated crossing of the Caltrain tracks approximately 800 feet south of the Palo Alto Caltrain station platform. The crossing Will connect to a new signalized at ~ade crossing of Ahna Street, a major arterial street that parallels the Caltrain corridor. The purpose of the project is to provide direct pedestrian/bike access from the south of Forest (SOFA) residential and commercial area to the new Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF) cmnpus and to the Palo Alto Caltrain station (via a segment of the new bike path being constructed parallel to the Caltrain tracks by PAMF). By improving access to this major multi-modal hub, the project will encourage and facilitate multi-modal trips m~d txansfers, and promote non-SOV trips. The new Palo Alto Medical Foundation facility (355,000 square feet of medical clinic medical research offices; projected daily trip generation of approximately 13,000 trips) relocated from the SOFA area to E1 Camino Real and opened in December-1999. This new facility was designed with an area reserved for the landing of the underpass and connection to the bike path running adjacent to the railroad right-of-way to the Caltrain station. The south of Forest Area located immediately east of the project. This area is a mixed residential and commercial area is currently the subject of a Coordinated Area Planning process. The proposed development regulations encourage land uses, housing and transportation systems that reduce the use of the automobile and support transportation alternatives, including walking and bicycling. The new undercrossing will provide an alternate bicycle and pedestrian route between this south of downtown district and portions of Palo Alto and Stanford located west of the Caltrain tracks. The SOFA area is already served the by the Big’ant Street Bicycle Boulevard, approMmately 4 blocks east of the proposed undercrossing. A connector bike route is proposed along Homer street to link the two faciliites. The project will also provide an east!~vest connection to a subregional bicycle trail fi’om the new PAMF campus that extends north into Menlo Park. The.segment of this bike path extending from PAMF sonth to Churchill Avenue has been designed and will be constructed when full funding is secured (see Santa Clara Valley Subarea TEA 21 application for the Embarcadero Bridge and Bike Path project). (description continued on attached page) Corridor: Santa Clara Valley Subarea Project: Palo Alto Medical Foundation/South of Forest Area Caltrain Pedestrian/Bicycle Undercrossing Project Description, continued: Both bike and pedestrian usage of this facility is anticipated to be high. Twelve hour bicycle and pedestrian counts conducted in 1997 at two existing undercrossings, University Avenue (.25 mi north) and Embarcadero Road ( .3 mi south), demonstrate the high ped/bike demand for east west connections across the tracks. Embarcadero Road Underpass University Avenue Underpass 7 a.m -7 p.m. Weekday Counts Ped Trips Bike Trips 244 364 1987 879 It is projected that approximately 1160 pedestrians/bicyclists (1/3 of the current users of the University Avenue and Embarcadero Road underpasses) would switch to the new PAMF/SOFA undercrossing In addition, the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Caltrain station, adjacent businesses, SOFA neighborhood and commuters in the area would generate at minimum an additional 500-600 ped/bike trips. The Palo Alto Caltrain Station at University is the major multi-modal transit hub in the mid-peninsula. The Caltrain station is the second busiest along the entire Caltrain line, second only to the San Francisco station. The station is served by 62 trains weekdays, with approximately 3500 daily passenger boardings and alightings. In addition, the VTA transit center accommodates 11 local and regional bus lines of VTA, Samtrans, Dumbarton Express, making approximately 850 weekday arrivals and departures. All trains, VTA and DB buses are equipped to transport bicycles. Palo Alto opened the first valet bicycle parking facility ("bike station") at the depot funded by the BAAQMD with TFCA funds in March 1999. The facility has storage capacity for 150 bicycles and offers full service bicycle repair, and other amenities for bicycle commuters.

The. current VMS 330 signal master is appro-dinately 14 3’ears old and ~s beginning to break-down more frequently for no apparent reason Some other problems include skipping certain timing plums, inaccurate clock and even problems that manuf:acturer cannot diagnose nor fix. In ~,ddition. some of the local controllers are also more than 10 years old. and many parts are not supported by the manuthcturer. The City is currently conducting a System evaluatmn. The study will include recommendations that address a system overhaul that will bring the C~"s signal s~stem into compliance with NTCIP standards as well as the ability to communicate with neighboring urisdiction For example, this project would facilitate future comaection with other Smart Comdor System agencies, )ther benefits of the project include improved s~gnal interconnect coordination on the City’s collector and arterial system. The new system would include the latest technologies that would allox\, for improved remote s~gual timing adjustment, priority control for transit (including GPS capability to detemune if transit is on schedule) and video pedestrian/bike or vehicular detections, This is particularly beneficial to the many transit systems operating in the C~ty such as the vastly successful Stantbrd Margurite transit bus system~ Dumbarton Express, VTA, Samtrans local and regional routes as well as highly patronized tnmsit servme arranged by the City’ for public events rhe project would also include a ~,stem that provides for ease of collecting and use of traffic count data. This data together with better technology m the newer system will enable the City to better develop accurate timing plans which will improve the flow of traffic in the s,~’hole system This prqiect would also use the existing City GIS basemap to provide real-time transportation intbrmation on the mternet which would assist commuters in their decision of routes to use during commute hours. Fhe project incorporates MTS Arterial Management Strategies 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and qualifies as a "high" utilization impact, In the bonus points catego~’, the project implements ITS system objectives related to trat’fic signal control and Federal TCMS related to simml timing. The implementation of this project would prevent potential s~gnal system failure in the future as well as contributing to an improved transportation system for all ~nodes of travel (transit, autos, peds and bikes).
