ENo EYes III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The pro.iect will address pedestrian safety and connectivity along the Scott Road corridor and the Menifee Road corridor in the city of Menifee. This project would involve constructing 1,200 feet of sidewalk along the south side of Scott Road between Bellamy Lane and Menifee Road, and 2,500 feet of sidewalk on the west side of Menifee Road from Scott Road. The total length of the project is 2,700 feet. The project would address a sidewalk gap between existing sidewalks provided on the south side of scott Road from just east of the l-215 interchange to Bellamy Lane, and from Menifee Road to Lindenberger Road and between Menifee Road and Lindenberger Road. The project addresses a sidewalk gap on Menifee Road from scott Road to connect with existing sidewalk located 3OO feet south of Tulita Lane located at the city limit. By closing these gaps in the sidewalk system, pedestrian connectivity will be enhanced both along scott Road and between neighborhoods located adjacent to Menifee Road to existing destinations and to the proposed school to be located on the north side of Scott Road_ lgsll723-3722 FYl9lzO SB 821 Bicycle and pedestrian Facilities program BIENNIAL CAIL FOR PROJECTS APPTICATION Sidewalk Gap Scott Road Sidewalk Gap Menifee Road I The project location is shown in Figure 1. \{ h..

SAFETY The proposed project will increase safety for the non-motorized public. There are no existing/planned sidewalks within the project limits. The photo below illustrates the sidewalk gap resulting in; pedestrian safety hazard for this section of scott Road and Menifee Road. scott Road is posted at a ss m.p.tr. speed limit. Menifee Road is posted at a 45 m.p.h. speed limit. Shown below is a photo illustrating the sidewalk gap andsafety issues related to pedestrian travel along the scott Road corridor. The second photo below shJws the sidewalk gap along Menifee Road. Scott Road looking east Menifee Road looking north to the intersection of Scott Road The collision experience over the last five years (2014-18) on scott Road between Bellamy Lane and Menifee Road includes five vehicle collisions. Ihere were no collisions involving pedestrians or bicyclists during thisperiod There were no collisions on the section of Menifee Road over the last five years. While current data does not indicate a safety issues, a potential issue remains. Without a sidewalk on Menifee Road, residents living adiacent to west side Menifee Road, pedestrian travel would require crossing Menifee Road, walking along sidewalk located on the east side and then crossing back to the west side at scott Road. These crossings are being made outside a designated crosswalk, which is a potential safety issue.

Article 3 money shall be allocated for the construction, including related engineering expenses, of the facilities, or for bicycle safety education programs. Money may be allocated for the maintenance of bicycling trails, which are closed to motorized traffic. Facilities provided for the use of bicycles may include projects that serve the needs of commuting bicyclists, including, but not limited to, new trails serving major transportation conidors, secure bicycle parking at employment centers, park and ride lots, and hansit terminals where other funds are available. Within 30 days after receiving a request for a review from any city or county, the transportation-planning agency shall review its allocations. Up to 20 percent ofthe amount available each year to a city or county may be allocated to restripe Class II bicycle lanes. A portion of each city's allocation may also be used to develop comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian plans. Plans must emphasize bike/pedestrian facilities that support utilitarian bike/pedestrian travel rather than solely recreational activities; a maximum of one entire allocation per five years may be used for plan development. Allowable maintenance activities for the local funds are limited to maintenance and repairs of Class I off-street bicycle facilities only. RCTC Policies 1. The SB 821 Call for Projects will occur on a biennial basis, with a release date ofthe first Monday of every other February and a close date of the Iast Thursday of every other April. beginning in 201 5. 2. If a project cannot be fulty funded, RCTC may recommend partial funding for award. 3. Agencies awarded funds will not be reimbursed for any project cost overruns. 4. Agencies being awarded an allocation will be reimbursed in arrears only upon submitting adequate proof of satisfactory project completion, including but not limited to the claim form for the fiscal year in which the project was awarded, copies of paid invoices, and photographs of the completed project. Attachment 2 Page 1 2 J 4 5 6 7 8 r7336 00005\32208 r r s. r 5 The allocated amount represents the maximum amount eligible for reimbursement. For projects completed under the allocated amount, the agency will be reimbursed at the matching ratio in effect at the time ofproject selection and approval. 6. The Commission exDects all oroiects to be ready for constructioni therefore. an agency will have twenty-four (24) months from the time olthe all ocation to complete lhe nroiect. There will be no time extensions granted unless the reason for the delay is due to unforeseen circumstances. Where substantial progress or a compelling reason for delay can be shown, the agency may be granted administrative extensions in twelve-month increments at the discretion ofthe Executive Director. 7. Any programmed and unused Article 3 Program funds will be forfeited unless that agency can a) utilize the unused funds to complete projects that are the same or similar in scope and/or are contiguous to the approved project or b) apply the funds to a project previously submitted under an Article 3 call for projects and approved by the Commission, subject to Executive Director approval. 8. Design and construction of facilities must conform to the general design criteria for non- motorized facilities as outlined in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. 9. Temporary facilities, projects in the bid process, or projects that are under construction will not be funded. 10. The SB 821 evaluation committee will be comprised of a minimum of five evaluators representing a wide range of interests; such as: accessibility, bicycling, Coachella Valley, public transit, and the region. Staff, consultants, and other representatives from agencies submitting project proposals will not be eligible to participate on the evaluation committee that year. 1 i. Following each call, staff will monitor the equity of allocations to Coachella Valley versus Western Riverside County; the allocation should be relative to what the Coachella Valley's share would have been if distributed on a per capita basis (the percentage of funds applied for should also be taken into consideration). Ifthe allocation is often found to be inequitable to the Coachella Valley, staff will recommend adoption of a new policy to conect the imbalance. 12. Certain costs at times associated with bicycle/pedestrian projects are not eligible when the benefit provided is not the exclusive use of bicyclists/pedestrians, such as: curb and gutter as part of roadway drainage system, ddveway ramps installed across sidewalks, and where roadway design standards require a roadway shoulder width that is at least as wide as a standard bike lane.

This project would involve constructing i,200 feet of sidewalk along the south side olScott Road between Bellamy Lane and Menifee Road, and 2,500 feet of sidewalk on the west side of Menifee Road from Scott Road. The total length of the project is 2,'7 00 feet. The project would address a sidewalk gap between existing sidewalks provided on the south side of Scott Road from just east ofthe I-215 interchange to Bellamy Lane, and from Menifee Road to Lindenberger Road and between Menifee Road and Lindenberger Road. The project addresses a sidewalk gap on Menifee Road from Scott Road to connect with existing sidewalk located 300 feet south of Tulita Lane located at the city limit. By closing these gaps in the sidewalk system, pedestrian connectivity will be enhanced both along Scott Road and between neighborhoods located adjacent to Menifee Road to existing destinations and to the proposed school to be located on the north side ofScott Road.
