The  2018 Jump Start Program is enabling design efforts prior to the 2018 Bond Program election to advance early starts for construction upon a favorable outcome for the 2018 Bond Program election.

In preparation for the 2018 Bond Program, M&C G-19009 (May 17, 2017) authorized $10,000,000 for the 2018 Jump Start Program to advance early design efforts for infrastructure improvements considered high priority based upon current conditions including addressing capacity and safety improvements.  Of that $10,000,000.00 approximately $9,000,000.00 was assigned to eleven engineering contracts (M&C C-28288) for the design and analysis of arterial and traffic improvement infrastructure requirements.  The remaining $1,000,000.00 is being directed to improving the subject neighborhood streets presented in this M&C.  Additional streets may be added if there is contract capacity.

This effort will enable staff to begin the design and delivery of the following projects:
