Mona S -----Original Message ---- From: Jay Hoeschler [mailto:jay@avidtrails.com] Sent: Monday, August 19,2019 1:15 PM To: *ALL CITY COUNCIL Cc: Weaver, Tracy (City Clerk) Subject: Consent Item: Completion of EI Segundo Bike Lanes Dear Mayor Boyles and City Council, Thank you for installing the new "sharrow" lanes along Main Street and parts of Grand Avenue. I've heard many resident cyclists remark that they now feel safer riding on those streets. Regarding Consent Calendar item B6 (attached), I'm glad to hear that the project was nearly $123,000 under budget. However, I also noticed the unspent funds are "returning to source". It appears those funds are TDA Article 3 funds from Metro, and must be used within three years. Public Works has been reserving those funds until this year, year three of our eligibility. Before you approve this Consent item without discussion, can you please confirm that the unspent funds can be used to continue building out the approved master bicycle plan attached below? It would be a shame to lose $123,000 in Metro funding when Nash, Douglas, Mariposa and EI Segundo Blvd are in great need of bicycle -safe routes. Thank you, Jay Hoeschler 232 W.
