CV Link Update
End
FROM:
Charlie McClendon, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
This item is presented for information and discussion only.
Body
BACKGROUND:
CV Link is an approximately 50-mile, multi-use path, the core of which connects eight Coachella Valley cities. To date, CVAG has assembled more than $75 million to fund the design and construction of CV Link, including the largest award in the state - $10.9 million - from the first cycle of California's Active Transportation Program. CV Link is believed to be the largest project of its kind in the nation.
DISCUSSION:
Tom Kirk, Executive Director of CVAG will be present to provide an update to Council on the current status of the project and next steps toward completion of the design and initiating construction of the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is likely that some local contribution may be required for operation and maintenance of CV Link after it is constructed. Since the project has not gone through the design phase yet, all costs are just estimates at this point. CVAG staff has developed a range of estimates, depending on service levels chosen, which would range from $1,000,000 to $1,600,000 annually. Cathedral City's share of that amount has not yet been determined.
