As a condition of eligibility, the City is required to adopt a resolution approving the submittal of applications for CTFP funding. In general, the resolution declares the City's desire to implement the submitted projects, as well as an affirmation to follow CTFP procedures, should funding be approved and allocated. The following three projects will be submitted to OCTA for consideration: Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue widening Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue widening Atlanta Avenue widening from Huntington Street to Delaware Street The grant amounts requested through these applications and the corresponding local matching funds (25% of the total project) which will be required are summarized below: Project CTFP Grant Local Match 1 Atlanta Avenue Widening $835,415 $278,472 2 Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue $266,513 $88,838 3 Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue $105,225 $35,075 1. Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue Long Term Widening Project — The intersection of Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue was identified as a critical intersection in the cooperative study and interagency memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding the Garfield/Gisler overcrossing of the Santa Ana River and reaffirmed in the Beach/Edinger Corridor Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report. To meet long- term transportation needs in the area with the proposed deletion of the Garfield-Gisler Bridge from the Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH), significant improvements are needed at the intersection. Studies have identified the need for one additional through lane in each direction on Adams Avenue along with the addition of right turn lanes on Brookhurst Street. Total construction costs are expected to exceed $12 million, however, only funds for engineering and right-of-way studies are included with this grant application. Completion of these tasks will result in final plans and specifications ready for construction funding consideration under the reauthorized Measure M. 2. Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue Intersection Improvements — Beach Boulevard is a major regional facility within Orange County and serves as one of the key north-south transportation corridors in the City of Huntington Beach. The intersection of Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue is reaching its desirable service capacity and projected increases in traffic will result in the intersection exceeding level of service standards. The most recent study identifying this need was part of the Beach/Edinger Corridor Specific Plan.

Application for OCTA grants is a responsible choice to partially fund the cost of needed improvements to lessen the already heavy traffic. We commend City staff and councilpersons to take action to request grand funds from OCTA for consideration. Is city matching funding set aside in annual budget only after funding is approved and scheduled by OCTA. Is the amount of set aside fixed or is it adjusted for inflation? Grants locations: Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue widening Beach Boulevard and Warner Avenue widening Atlanta Avenue widening from Huntington Street to Delaware Street Do above projects need to be initiated/completed before projects can be completed that created the need for these steps to be taken? We believe development agreements should include infrastructure offsite improvements required to be addressed before certificates of occupancy are in place. Please notify Huntington Beach Tomorrow of when the next step is taken, i.e. OCTA responds to your request and could you provide us with who we can contact at OCTA to share with them our support for approving the grants referenced above for the City of Huntington Beach? Thank you in advance for sharing the requested information. Our mission (www.hbtomorrow.or�) supports quality of life in our city which includes responsible development and traffic flow on our streets.
