2004 FIVE-YEAR REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (RTIP) VITG. 4/06/04 a CITY ATTY.
CITY MGR. IEPT. ENG
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2004-109 approving the 2004 five-year Regional Transportation
Improvement Program (RTIP) for Carlsbad.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The 2004 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (Regional TIP or RTIP) for fiscal years
2004/05 through 2008/09 is a program of proposed major highway, arterial, transit and bikeway
projects. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is required by State and Federal
laws to develop and adopt a Regional TIP every two years. The 2004 RTlP is due to the State by
August 1,2004.
Most major transportation projects must be included in the approved RTlP prior to receiving certain
categories of State and Federal funding and Federal project approvals. In addition, the “Proposition
A (TransNet): San Diego Transportation Improvement Program - Ordinance and Expenditure Plan”
requires that proposed TransNet funded projects be included in the RTIP. The Federal Metropolitan
Planning and Air Quality Conformity Regulations also require inclusion of all regionally significant
capacity increasing road projects for air quality emissions analysis.
Each City in the region must adopt a recommended local streets and roads project list following a
public hearing process. The public hearing must allow citizens an opportunity to comment on the
City’s RTlP list. The public hearing will be held at the April 6, 2004 City Council meeting, which was
set and noticed in the local papers for the required ten, or more, days. A local streets and roads
RTlP list must be adopted biennially by each participating SANDAG agency that desires to expend
TransNet and/or certain Federal and State funds.
The proposed Carlsbad RTlP list includes projects with the following funding types:
.
Federal High Priority (DEMO) SANDAG TransNet Local (L) . SANDAG TransNet Highway (H)
Federal Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP)
Federal Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement (HBRR) Program
Regionally Significant Capacity Increasing Projects Regardless of Funding Source
The complete RTlP list of projects for Carlsbad identifying the funding source(s), project cost and
funding year is attached as Exhibit 2. The RTlP list contains program-funding requests for several
projects, which have already received, or will soon receive, Federal funds including Rancho Santa
Fe Road, Melrose Drive, Cannon Road, El Camino Real and the Pavement Management Program.
Each of these continuing projects has been updated to reflect current cost estimates and
construction scheduling. The remaining projects on the Carlsbad RTlP list are new capacity
increasing road projects located along regionally significant arterials. The list includes the
construction of missing segments of Cannon Road, College Boulevard, Faraday Avenue, Melrose
Drive and Poinsettia Lane.
Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 17,574
The ECR Improvement Project and the Pavement Management Program are the only two projects
that require programming of new TransNet funds over the next RTlP period. The amount of
TransNet funds requested for these two projects is $1.45 and $1 1.67 million, respectively. Staff is
proposing a TransNet funding allocation of approximately $2.6 million for each of the next four years
to fund the pavement management needs of our City streets. El Camino Real is programmed to
receive $493,000 in FY 2004105 to complete the northbound lane widening from two to three lanes
between Rancho Carlsbad Drive to Sunny Creek Road already in progress, and approximately
250 linear feet of widening north of Cougar Drive. In FY 2006/07, another $959,000 is programmed
for the southbound lane widening from two to three lanes between Lisa Street and Crestview Drive.
Although the 2004 RTlP programming cycle is for the next five years, TransNet funds are scheduled
to expire in 2008 and are, therefore, programmed through the next four years.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The action to approve this RTlP project list has been found to be exempt from the CEQA process by
the Planning Director pursuant to Section 15276 of the CEQA Guidelines, which states that CEQA
does not apply to the adoption of regional transportation improvement programs. It should be noted
that individual projects developed pursuant to the RTlP are subject to CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approving the RTlP is a requirement under State law for receiving TransNet, Federal and State
funds. Approval of the RTlP ensures eligibility for funding and programs the funding so that positive
cash flow is maintained.
Inclusion in the RTIP, however, is not necessarily a guarantee that projects will receive the stated
funding. The amounts shown are the best available estimates of anticipated funding. In the event
that funding falls short or is not available, the City Council is not obligated to proceed with a project
just because it is included in the RTIP.
