Associate Engineer
SUBJECT: Resolution of Local Support for Valley Transportation Authority Community Block
Grant STP/CMAQ Funding for 2010 VTA Local Streets and Resurfacing Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution supporting the Community Block Grant STP/CMAQ Funding Application for the 2010
VTA Local Streets and Road Resurfacing Project.
REPORT SUMMARY:
In April 2010, Public Works staff applied for Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds administrated
by the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). VTA has awarded the City a grant in the amount of
$500,000 for the Saratoga Various Streets Rehabilitation Project.
The goal of this program is to assure that MTS (Metropolitan Transportation System) designated streets
and roads in Santa Clara County are in good repair. In areas where the MTS is in good shape or there are
no MTS-designated roads, the program’s goal is to address serious problems on federal aid eligible
arterials and collectors. Saratoga has both MTS-designated and federal aid-eligible streets (See
Attachment C VTA Project Application Form Federal STP Funds for list of City Streets).
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The attached Budget Resolution will make the appropriate amendment to the FY 2010/2011 Budget.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The project will not be approved by MTC and the funds will be reallocated to other cities in Santa Clara
County.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION:
