HDfPJC CITY ATJvV'5j5 CITY MQR*^^H oa:o_a. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution *7 94^,P" formally requesting Caltrans to under- take a "Project Study Report". ITEM EXPLANATION The City has received eleven letters from major nearby property owners who support the concept of a freeway interchange on State Highway 78 between El Camino Real and College Boulevard. The interchange and its Rancho del Oro connection from the south is in the City of Carlsbad's circulation element of the General Plan. Before the project can appear in any State Highway program or be eligible for any funding, it must undergo a feasibility study and "Project Study Report" by Caltrans. After that, the interchange may become eligible for inclusion in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The City of Oceanside adopted a resolution of support on February 27, 1985. A similar resolution from Carlsbad will clear the way for Caltrans to undertake the feasibility study which will require four to six months to complete. FISCAL IMPACT There is no cost to the cities or to property owners for Caltrans to perform the study. Ultimately, if the concept of an interchange is accepted, the construction cost of several million dollars will require a sharing formula between the State, cities and property owners. It will be at least 12 to 18 months before that issue need be faced. EXHIBITS 1. Resolution No. 7<?*/£^ estinq2. Sample letter requesting City support 3. Location Map.
