EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 24, 2009 the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board approved the Metro 2009 Call for Projects, allocating $1,558,860 in Federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) Funds to the Redondo Beach Bicycle Transportation Plan Implementation Project. To receive those funds, the City approved a funding agreement with Metro on May 21, 2013. Due to a shortfall in regional Metro funds, Metro required the City to apply for State Active Transportation Grant funding prior to releasing any previously approved funds to the City. That effort was unsuccessful and delayed the project for over two years.
The original funding agreement had a project completion date of June 30, 2016. Metro approved Amendment #1 that included a two-year extension until June 30, 2018. That Amendment was approved by the City Council on May 3, 2016. Amendment #2, extending the completion date to June 30, 2019, was approved by the City Council on February 19, 2019. Amendment #3, extending the completion date to June 30, 2020 was approved by the City Council on April 7, 2020. Amendment #4, extending the completion date to June 30, 2021 has been approved by Metro and is now ready for City Council approval.
