RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Aviation Boulevard Preliminary Engineering Study Final Report.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Aviation Boulevard Preliminary Engineering Study Final Report has been submitted to the City of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach. The total cost of the report was $30,000. Vitality City funded $15,000 of the study, and the three Beach Cities each contributed $5,000. The next phase of the project, which entails preparing a more comprehensive scope of work for the traffic and parking impact analysis, does not require funding at this time. However, once that scope of work is identified, staff will have a better understanding of the level of detail required, and will seek out grant opportunities to move forward. Since this is a joint effort between Manhattan Beach, Vitality City, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach, it is expected that any financial obligations will be distributed equitably among the participating agencies. Staff will return to City Council at a later date if matching funds are required as part of a future grant application.
