$1,674,000 is available currently for federal Transportation
Enhancement (TE)
projects in Mendocino
County. Nine applications were received, totalling more than
$6 million. MCOG's Technical Advisory Committee has ranked these
and made a recommendation to MCOG's Board of Directors (December
7 Agenda).
Projects that enhance the surface transportation system (above
and beyond required mitigations), such as bicycle and pedestrian
trails, scenic and historic preservation, landscaping and beautification,
and wildlife habitat connectivity, are eligible.
The following applications were received. (Files are
between appx. 2 and 11 MB.)
During MCOG's last TE funding cycle in 2004, twelve applications
were received from qualified
entities.
The
Technical
Advisory Committee reviewed, scored, and ranked the applications
and made a recommendation to the Board of Directors. On December
6, 2004, MCOG allocated approximately $2 million of project awards
to the Cities of Fort Bragg and Point
Arena and the County of Mendocino. (see
press release under "News" on
this site).
Prior recipients of TE funds awarded by MCOG include: the County Museum for the
Redwood Empire Railroad History Project, Point Arena for the Coastal Access Scenic
Bikeway, and the City of Ukiah for their Major Transportation Corridor Enhancement
Project, to plant more than 200 trees and improve sidewalks in the city.
