WHEREAS, Metropolitan Transit Authority (the "MT A") is proposing to
extend the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension through the City of Arcadia (the
"Gold Line Extension"); and
WHEREAS, the Gold Line Extension as currently proposed would cross
Santa Anita A venue at street grade; and
WHEREAS in order to improve public safety and traffic circulation and ease
congestion on Santa Anita Avenue, which is a critical north/south arterial for the
City, the City desires to cause the construction, installation, acquisition and
improvement of a grade separation at the intersection of Santa Anita A venue and
the Gold Line Extension.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
Findings and Detenninations.
A. The City Council finds that the public interest and necessity demand
the construction, installation, acquisition and improvement by the City of the
certain public safety and traffic circulation related municipal improvements
identified as follows:
Construct, install, acquire and improve a grade separation for Santa
Anita A venue at the intersection of Santa Anita A venue and the
Metropolitan Transportation Authority Gold Line Foothill extension to
improve public safety and traffic circulation and ease congestion.
B. The estimated cost of the municipal improvements set forth in Section
1 A is Eight Million ($8,000,000) Dollars, which will be provided through a general
obligation bond. The acquisition, construction and completion of the municipal
improvements require an expenditure greater than available in the City's current

necessary and convenient to carry out the objects, purposes and powers of the City.

Proceeds from the sale of the bonds authorized by the City's Santa Anita
A venue Public Safety/Traffic Improvement Measure shall be used only to
construct, repair and replace the public improvements specified in the Measure,

expenses. By law, all funds can only be spent on municipal improvements.
