CC - SB 10 - Safe Routes to School Program - Internal Files Box 069TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 24, 2001
RE: SB 10 (SOTO)- SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM;
EXTENSION - SUPPORT
Attached for the City Council's review are copies of SB 10 (Soto), current bill status, complete bill
history, and Senate committee analysis. SB 10 would extend the Safe Routes to School Construction
Program, which is due to expire and be repealed on January 1, 2002. Senator Nell Soto, who
authored the original Safe Routes to School bill (AB 1475), has requested the City Council's support
of SB 10. A copy of her letter requesting Rosemead's support is also attached.
A total of 85 projects were funded throughout the state under the first funding cycle. Of the $130
million requested, only $20 million worth of projects were funded due to funding limitations.
Rosemead received $120,000 in funding to install a traffic signal at Hellman and Jackson and replace
school-zone traffic signage and markings.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council support SB 10 (Soto) and authorize the Mayor to send
letters of support.
