Manager and Capital Planning, modules currently owned by the City. In doing so there is an opportunity to expand the scope of the project to build out the ATMP cycling and new sidewalk recommendations within the system. The project is currently being scoped and costed and will include this new work as well. As such, there is a risk that the cost for this additional scope exceeds funding available . Should this occur a recommendation has been made to leverage up to $50,000 from the City-Wide Bikeways development project (7131114) to cover the cost of the additional work.

The City has also submitted to the ICIP – Public Transit grant a project request which would provide $5M in funding, of which the City's matching portion is 27%, to construct additional cycling facilities. The continued focus of leveraging grant funding is recommended to be continued. The finalization of the updates to the Development Charge study is expected to continue to support the use of DC funding in the construction of these assets as well.

In consideration of the strategy set forth in this report, Administration recommends that no additional uniquely identified funding requests be approved at this time. Any future funding requirements will be properly articulated in the annual ATMP progress report containing specifics of potential related projects. As projects are identified their associated costs will be included in larger initiatives and it contemplated that the use of funding sources such as the $2.7M City-Wide Cycling fund, potential grant funding and development charge funding will ensure continued investment to support the program's planning and construction.
