SECOND UPDATE TO ATTACHMENT 1 TO R-20-47 APPROPRIATING TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE TAX FUNDS TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE PASEO DEL NORTE PROJECT.
WHEREAS, R-20-47 (Enactment R-2020-091) appropriated funds to implement the third phase of the Transportation Infrastructure Tax; and
WHEREAS, R-20-47 funded a project list which included providing $12,000,000 to buildout Paseo Del Norte from Calle Nortena to Rainbow; and
WHEREAS, the buildout of Paseo Del Norte is part of a joint project with the buildout of Unser Boulevard from Kimmick Drive to Paradise Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, the Unser Boulevard project is funded with Federal Surface Transportation Planning Urban (STPU) Grants that can only be obligated and expended in Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025; and
WHEREAS, before construction can commence on the Unser part of the project in Fiscal Years 24 and 25, right of way must be acquired which precludes the use of the STPU grants to purchase the land; and
WHEREAS, the funding appropriated to the build out of Paseo Del Norte from the third phase of the Transportation Infrastructure Tax is an appropriate and eligible source to purchase the right of way for the Unser Boulevard project.
