Other minor changes have been made to the applications, specifically
substituting our grant application request amount for the actual amount

Dear Harry:
This is a response to your letter of May 28th requesting a review for completeness and accuracy
of your Proposition 116 applications. An overview of the missing information for the two projects
from the City of San Luis Obispo is discussed below. Dan Herron discussed the some of these
issues with Ken Hampian in September, 1992.
REGIONAL TRANSIT TRANSFER CENTER
Funding Amount: The application requests $24 million. This funding amount should be
replaced with the $1,016,205 approved by the COG.
Project Location: The project location is identified as the block bound by Toro, Santa Rosa,
Monterey and Higuera Streets. Is this still the preferred location? Update
_ as appropriate with the new information provided in your consultant study.
Project phasing: In Part 3b, the language in the first paragraph of the text does not seem
to pertain to this application.
J Site Map (3c): No site maps with the location alternatives or preliminary design concepts
are included.
Financial Plan: The table on page 17 needs to be modified to reflect the approved
Proposition 116 funding amount.
Cash Flow
Expenditure Plan: The funding amounts need to be modified, and the expenditure plan
should be consistent with the project schedule on page 18.
Resolution:- The executed resolution (No 8039, 1992 series) does not indicate
acceptance of eligible applicant status. Attached is an example resolution
showing acceptance of eligible applicant status. One resolution could be
prepared for both the Rail/Bike bridge and Regional Transit Transfer
Center.
The supporting resolution by the County in the application has not been
finalized. Inclusion of a letter of support by SLORTA would also be helpful
in this application.

BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
On May 7th I gave Craig Anderson the new bicycle forms for the pedestrian/bicycle bridge over
the railroad tracks. Since only one of the five phases in this project has been approved for
funding the entire application needs to be rewritten. I will be meeting with Terry Sanville and
Craig Anderson on June 7th to review their revised application. The acquisition of rail right-of-
way becomes a complicated process with the appraisal requirements and necessary certifications
that the property is free from environmental contaminates. No less important is the agreement
from Southern Pacific to sell the land. While the appraisal, environmental analysis or land
acquisition agreement do not need to be completed before submitting the application to the state,
they should be addressed in the application.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 781-5712 if you should have questions or concerns.
Sincerely
Peter Rodgers
Associate Transportation Planner
