Staff Contact:	Amanda Sahin, Transportation Engineer
Recommendations/Options/Action Requested: Approve the spending plan for 2018 Sidewalk/Bike/Ped Improvements/ADA Ramps Program (CIP# CI09, $450,000) as well as the remaining $150,000 of 2017 Sidewalk/Bike/Ped Improvements/ADA Ramps (2017 CIP No. CI09).
Executive Summary:		The 2018 CIP includes a $450,000 project budget for Sidewalk/Bike/Ped Improvements/ADA Ramps (CI09). Additionally, $150,000 remains from the 2017 CIP for the same project. The other $300,000 of 2017 bike/ped funds are being used to match two KDOT Transportation Alternative (TA) project grants, Safe Routes to School and 19^th & Iowa ped/bike tunnel. The combined 2018 project budget with the balance of the 2017 project budget provides $600,000 for ped/bike/ADA facilities in 2018.  At the January 29, 2018 Transportation Commission Meeting, the board concurred with the staff recommended funding split of $100,000 for ADA Ramps, $150,000 for Pedestrian Facilities and $350,000 for Bicycle Facilities.  Staff then used the Non-Motorized Projects Prioritization Policy to rank all of the applicable projects and put together planning level estimates for several of the potential projects. Based on the rankings and available funding, staff developed a recommended spending plan for the funds that is outlined below and was presented at the April 2, 2018 Transportation Commission meeting. Ø $100,000 ADA Ramps · Design for 2017 CDBG ramps along 11^th St from Massachusetts St to Burroughs Creek Trail. The 2017 CDBG funding did not include funding for design services. · Design and construction of ramps along the designated Safe Routes to School for New York Elementary Ø $150,000 Pedestrian Facilities · Design of RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon) at 16^th and Haskell.
