23 POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL SIDEWALKS 28/1 CERTAIN SITUATIONS Section "e" of the Pedestrian Policy states: "The Depart~rcerrt recognizes there are certain situations in which pedestrian facilities provide sign cant benefits in the movement of pedestrian traj~c. The Department of Transportation may participate in the provision of these facilities on a full or shared-cost basis." This statement says the DOT may participate in funding-incidental projects, and independent projects as described below. INCIDENTAL PROJECTS Incidental pedestrian projects are de-fined as TIP projects where pedestrian facilities are included as part of the project. The DOT may share the incremental cost of constructing the pedestrian facilities if the "intent of the criteria" are met, -and the request for DOT participation is made prior to or at the post hearing meeting for the Design Public Hearing. Only improvements that have a sidewalk adjacent to it will be included in the total prof-ec± construction cost: Additionally, the cost of bridges will not be included in the total project construction cost since the provision of pedestrian facilities on badges will be funded entirely by the-DOT. This total project-construction cost does not include the construction cost of any incidental pedestrian facilities. The matching share is a sliding scale based on population as follows: MUNICIPAL POPULATION PARTICIPATION DOT LOCAL > Ioo,oao so°i° so°r° 50,000 to 100,000 60% 40% 10,000 to 50,000 70% 30% < 10,000 80% 20% The local government share of the pedestrian facility construction funding may not be Federal or State money for the purposed of these guidelines. In addition, the right-of-way municipalities provided for pedestrian projects may not be counted toward the required local contribution. EFF. DATE 12/1/76 11 REV. DATE 4/16/01
