In October 2010, National City was awarded a $450,000 Safe Routes to School
(SR2S) Grant for 8th Street between "D" Avenue and Highland Avenue. This project
was combined with a $2 million SANDAG Smart Growth Incentive Program Grant and
other funding sources to provide traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle safety
enhancements on 8th Street between the Trolley Station and Highland Avenue. The
project is currently in construction.
On September 22, 2014, staff was notified that SR2S Grant funding for the project
would expire on June 30, 2015 unless City Council approves a request for a
Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA) with Caltrans by October 24, 2014. Based
on the expanded project scope, additional time is needed to complete
construction. Therefore, staff recommends approving the CWA request and
authorizing the Mayor to sign the CWA Request Form.
