Senior Redevelopment Project Coordinator Morgon related that the California Department
of Transportation (Caltrans) is proceeding with its "Dana-to-Downtown" Project which will
connect Dana Drive at various points to the City's Hilltop Widening Over State Route 44
(SR44) project. Between the two projects there will be a free right-hand turn-lane movement
from eastbound SR44 off-ramp north on the new overpass to Dana Drive. The projects will
also provide a northbound left-hand turn movement to the future westbound on-ramp to
SR44 at the Dana and Hilltop Drives intersection and a westbound on-ramp (which is
currently under construction).
Mr. Morgon advised that project cost estimates in 2005 were $2,686,000, but the current
engineer's estimate is $4,027,000 leaving a shortfall of$I,341,000. He stated that staff is
recommending that the City contribute an additional $791,000 from Traffic Impact Fees
(TIF) and that the Redding Redevelopment Agency (RRA) contribute $550,000 utilizing
Canby-Hilltop-Cypress Redevelopment Tax Increment Funds to make up the shortfall.

Mr. Morgon recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution making findings and
approving the use of additional funds for the Project. He also recommended that a resolution
be adopted appropriating funds in the amount of$791,000 for Project.
