RESOLUTION: R-1718-36: A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, PROGRAMMING FEDERAL SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM URBANIZED AREA (STP-UZA-SAFETY) FUNDS FOR MCGEE DRIVE SIDEWALKS BETWEEN STATE HIGHWAY 9 AND WESTBROOKE TERRACE.
Body
BACKGROUND: The 2015 - Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) federal transportation funding bill allocates approximately $21 Million in Federal funds per year for the implementation of eligible transportation improvements in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Ten percent of this appropriation is used to fund safety projects at 100% of their construction cost.
Every year, the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) coordinates a regional evaluation process that identifies transportation improvements eligible for federal funding. Individual projects are rated and compared to one another using a pre-established criterion. The process ends with the formulation of the region's transportation improvement program and the decision to use federal funds to pay for a significant portion of the cost of the higher priority projects.
DISCUSSION: On December 15, 2017, staff will submit several project applications, requesting close to $30 million in federal funds, for consideration in the formulation of ACOG's Three-Year Transportation Improvement Plan Update. One of the requirements for project consideration is that interested cities submit programming resolutions for each individual project. Five of the projects that will be included in the application submittal need programming resolutions in order to be considered in the plan update. These projects are:
