Council notes $1.1 million in Measure AA for Safe Pathways to School in consent calendar
Summary
As part of the consent calendar the Council recorded an agreement with the Transportation Authority of Marin securing $1.1 million in Measure AA funds for Safe Pathways to School projects serving multiple San Rafael schools; the consent calendar passed 5-0.
The City Council, as part of the unanimous consent calendar vote, approved an agreement with the Transportation Authority of Marin that secures $1,100,000 in Measure AA funding for Safe Pathways to School projects in San Rafael. Councilmember Hill called attention to the item before the vote and named the schools that will benefit.
Councilmember Hill highlighted beneficiaries including Venetia Valley K-8, Laurel, Dale and Davidson Middle Schools, Terra Linda High School, Vallecito Elementary, Mark Day and Sun Valley Elementary and said, "1,100,000 to our community. So thank you voters, in 2018 for making that real." The item was included in the consent agenda and the council approved the consent calendar by roll call vote 5-0.
The funding is intended to support student pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements on routes to and from those schools. Staff did not present a detailed project list during the consent vote; the Transportation Authority of Marin and city staff are the responsible implementing partners and will provide project-level details and timetables through their normal project development and public outreach processes.
What the action does not do: the consent approval secures funding authorization but did not specify construction timelines or exact design details for each school corridor; those details will be developed in subsequent project phases managed by the city and regional transportation partners.
