9 Tulare County Association of Governments Sitting as the Tulare County Transportation Authority AGENDA ITEM IV-A February 25, 2019 Prepared by Leslie Davis, TCAG Staff SUBJECT: Action: Adoption of Resolution: Measure R Project Supplemental for City of Visalia Houston Ave Rehabilitation Project BACKGROUND: On April 2, 2018 the City of Visalia s City Council approved the award of the construction contract for the Houston Ave Major street rehabilitation that included funding from Federal Surface Transportation Funding (STP), Measure N and a request to submit a supplemental with TCAG for the use of Measure R. The rehabilitation project covered Houston Ave from Demaree to west of Dinuba and included traffic signal interconnect. The Measure R expenditure plan includes an allocation to the City of Visalia for the use of signals and synchronizations in the amount of $11,000,000. DISCUSSION: It was the intent of the City to request the Measure R supplemental, but due to staffing changes at the City of Visalia, the request to TCAG for the funding did not take place. Had the supplemental been submitted, staff would have approved by delegated authority. However, because the project is complete, all post MR supplementals are required to come to the Board for approval. The project is complete and the City of Visalia is ready to file the notice of completion (NOC). The City of Visalia is requesting the ability to provide a supplemental request for Measure R to assist with the funding of the project as presented to their Board on April 2, The total project cost of $3,975, was funded 76% with STP, 17% with Measure N and 7% with Measure R or $300, RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the supplemental in the amount of $300,000 to fund the Houston Ave project for the City of Visalia. TCAG staff would have approved the supplemental pre-completion by delegated authority as outlined in the expenditure plan. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact outside of the approved expenditure plan.

19 Tulare County Association of Governments Sitting as the Tulare County Transportation Authority AGENDA ITEM IV-D February 25, 2019 Prepared by Leslie Davis, TCAG Staff SUBJECT: Information: Status of Feasibility Study at SR 216 and Ave 328 in Ivanhoe BACKGROUND: May of 2018, TCAG staff met with Caltrans to discuss a feasibility study at SR 216 and Ave 328 in Ivanhoe to review the operations and deficiencies at the intersection and how it affects the citizens of Ivanhoe and possible recommendations for improvement. DISCUSSION: TCAG staff contacted California Walks and partnered with them to provide a site visit in Ivanhoe at the Ivanhoe Elementary School as a result of our original discussion with Caltrans in May of The original site visit was attended by California Walks staff, Tulare County Staff and several leading community members to discuss the issues, walk the community and plan a Safe Streets Workshop and Bike Rodeo. The workshop along with a bike rodeo took place on September 29, 2018 (attachment 1) with a good turnout by citizens and provided a venue to discuss community wide concerns. The information gathered from the workshop and bike rodeo resulted in a formal report of recommendations (see attachment 2, pages 15-16) to improve pedestrian & bicycle safety for the town of Ivanhoe produced by California Walks in conjunction with Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) and California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). This report was also shared with Caltrans to assist and enhance the feasibility study. January 25, 2019, TCAG staff met with Caltrans staff to discuss updates on the feasibility study and review potential improvements to the intersection and possibly the Road 160 corridor as well. Identifying other entities with which we can partner to make the necessary improvements at this intersection for the town of Ivanhoe was also discussed. The final Feasibility Study is expected in April Staff will update the Board at that time. Because of this collaborative effort from Caltrans, Tulare County Health and Human Services, Tulare County RMA, the Ivanhoe Community Group, California Highway Patrol, Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability, California Walks, SafeTREC, OTS and TCAG, the possibility of meaningful improvements for this intersection and the Road 160 corridor for Ivanhoe s citizens has a much greater possibility of coming to fruition and competing for grant funding.
