RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2009-297 authorizing the Mayor to execute the Cooperate Work
Agreement (CWA) extension for the Coastal Rail Trail, Project No. 3455.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Coastal Rail Trail is a multi-modal trail extending from San Luis Ray River in Oceanside to the
Santa Fe Depot in San Diego. The trail is located within the railroad right-of-way and on city streets.
North County Transit District (NCTD) owns the railroad right-of-way in Carlsbad.
On January 25, 2000, the City Council authorized the application for federal Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) TEA-21 funding for the Coastal Rail Trail project. A Program
Supplement was approved in 2001. These funds will expire on June 30, 2010. Staff has requested a
one-year extension for these funds. The CWA extension request requires approval of the City Council.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
On April 17, 2001, City Council adopted the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project (EIA 00-06)
as Resolution Number 2001-122. The Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance
with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines and it covers the project from the San
Luis Rey River in Oceanside to the southern boundary of Del Mar. The City of San Diego chose to not
be a part of the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
As a result of the federal funding for the project, a National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA)
federal environmental document is needed. CALTRANS prepared and processed the Categorical
Exclusion in conformance with NEPA guidelines. The Federal Highway Administration approved the
Categorical Exclusion on August 1, 2001.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The funds have a "use-it or lose-it" policy. There is no guarantee the state will authorize the extension,
submitting the form will initiate the process. The City risks losing all or a portion of the $72,834 if the
form is not submitted.
