Atty.�;— DEPARTMENT: Engineering C. Mgr. Subject: 1976-78 FEDERAL AID URBAN PROGRAM Statement of the Matter The Federal Aid Urban Program is set up for a two year -period with provisions for updating the program each year. Projects for the City of Carlsbad,.previously approved by the Council; were submitted in December 1975. On April 15, 1976, the City was advised that the deadline for prpject submittals for 1976-78 FAq Program was re-established to April 30, 1976. The projects previously approved by the City Council were resubmitted and two `traffic signal prcjects were added. The two traffic signal projects were approved by the Council as part of the 76-77 Capital Improvements Program but were not included in the previously approved FAU Program. Since traffic signal projects do not compete with other construction projects, the addition of these two projects will not affect the five council approved projects. The FAU project list also serves as an update to the CPO Transportation" Improvement Program (TIP) 1976-1980 which is updated annually in June. Exhibit 1.

MASSMAN Chairman, Thoroughfare Advisgry Committee y R34t :RDT :mh Attachments RECEIVE,D MAY - 3 1976 CITY OF CARLSBAD Engineering Department MEMORANDUM 'Z April 29, 1976 TO: City Manager FROM: City Engineer _$OBJECT:_' Application for. Priokity.-Funding Federal -Aid Urban t (FAU) Funds. 'in November of 1975, the City Council approved a staff recommend- ation to request priority funding for the 1976-78 FAU Program of the Federal Highway Act of 1,75. Five projects were approved and submitted (see enclosure (1). Since that time, delays in the enactment of the Federal Highway Act of 1975 (just recently signed into law) has resulted in a new and recently established deadline for applications to be submit- ted to the Thoroughfare Advisory Committee (deadline = April. 30, 1975;. It is our intention to resubmit the five projects again, plus two additional projects. The two additional projects are traffic signal projects as follows: 1. Elm Avenue/1-5 ramps/Pia Pico. 2. Elm Avenue/Roosevelt. the Elm Avenue/Roosevelt project has been reviewed by City Council at the recent C.I.P. study sesseion, as has the Elm/Pio Pico pro- ject. The Elm/Pio Pico traffic signal is proposed in the 1976-77 C.I.P. in the amount of $55,000. The I-5/Elm Avenue off -on ramps are really the responsibility of CalTran3 and meet traffic signal warrants now. CalTrans cannot fund even the 17% matching funds for these signals. Because the City most probably would not qualify for FAU funding for Pio Pico/F-m Avenue as an individual project and since all signals should a constructed as an inte- grated system, it is proposed to request a combined project of approximately $180;000 for the three signal system with Carlsbad funding the entire local share of $30,000 - $35,000. This would be significantly less expensive then funding 100% of the Elm/Pio Rico traffic signal. If you see a problem with this approach, we can informally withdraw this application in the next few weeks. MEMORANDUM, City Manager April 29, 1976 Page 2 In addition, one of the previously submitted projects, Carlsbad Boulevard, Agua Hedionda Bridge, has been modified to include the widening to four lanes from Tamarack Avenue to Cannon Road in order to take advantage of SAG&E participat3An of approximately $230,000. This $230,000 would be 90% of the City's share of the expanded projeck. Nis would propose to submit an-agenda*bill to the City Council on May 18, 1976 regarding the seven projects. - Formal acceptance of the 'final prioritized FAU funding list will be presented to all cities for approval prior to July 1, 1976, in order to meet CPO and Federal Highway Admiulatration deadlines.
