| Synopsis: |
The attached agreement provides ODOT grant funds, in an
amount up to $580,000 to design and construct a multi use bike path along
the railroad easement from Jackson Road to Laurel Street. The City requested
the initial grant in February 2003 through the State Transportation Enhancement
program (see attached Council Communication for February 18, 2003). The project
was approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission this past summer and
staff has been working on the final agreements and project definition to
meet the federal requirements since that time. |
| Recommendation: |
It is recommended that Council approve Approval of Agreement
No. 20939 - Transportation Enhancement Project Jackson Road to Laurel Street
between the City of Ashland and the Oregon Department of Transportation,
and the acknowledgement of the use of federal funds and all requirements
for the use of federal funds. |
| Fiscal Impact: |
The estimated project cost is $740,000 for construction.
The State will fund up to $580,000 with the City providing a match of $228,000.
The City will be responsible for any portion of the project, which is not
covered by State funding, including any portion of the project, which exceeds
the estimated total cost. The State's agreement also requires the City to
maintain the improvements upon completion of the project. The City must also
follow all federal requirements for bike/multi-use paths. |
| Background: |
The North Ashland Multi-Use Path builds a connection for a separate
bike/multi-use path from Hersey Street at the Railroad tracks to Jackson
Road. A railroad easement has been previously obtained along the route. |
