Project Description / Purpose / Need - please include a map with north arrow and scale showing the project

The Seal Beach Regional Trail constructs a Class I (off- street) bikeway in the City of Seal Beach. This
Bikeway consists of three segments that will complete the gap closure between the Santa Ana River Class 1
bikeway and the San Gabriel River Class I Bikeway. These segments are: Seal Beach Boulevard (Pacific
Coast Highway to Electric Avenue), Marina Drive (Electric Avenue to San Gabriel River Class I Bikeway),
and Pacific Coast Highway (Seal Beach Boulevard to Andersen Street). The Seal Beach Boulevard segment
has been completed in September 2001. The Marina Drive segment will be constructed by July 2002. The
Pacific Coast Highway segment is the subject of this request for additional funding.
Funding for the Seal Beach Regional Trail is provided through TEA 21 Bikeways, State Parks and Recreation
Department, City, County and OCTA. The request for additional funding is needed to meet Caltrans
requirements for project development and design procedures and construction requirements since the trail
falls within State rightof —way. The request for additional funding will be for the Project Report
