    2. South side of Zanja Street between Tivoli Avenue and Michael Avenue

    3. Tivoli Avenue between Zanja Street and Washington Boulevard

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to identifying federal earmark projects for the Federal Earmark Repurposing Opportunity.

 

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

 

  1. APPROVE the replacement projects as detailed in Attachment A of the September 22, 2016 Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) report, attached to the Council file, as the City's priorities for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's  Replacement Funding Exchange Program.

Fiscal Impact Statement:  The LADOT reports that there is no impact to the City's General Fund because there are no match requirements for this Fund Exchange Program.  The projects will be implemented on a reimbursement basis, therefore Proposition A and C funds should be made available to provide front funding for these projects.  Future appropriations by the Mayor and City Council will be required to finalize approved memoranda of understanding and to deliver the projects (i.e. design, project management, construction, and inspection).

 

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
