EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 7, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Director of Public Works to submit an application for an Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 6 grant for the Napa Valley Vine Trail (NVVT) Yountville to St. Helena Segment and committed up to $5 million of County funding for the construction. The County did not receive a grant and the Director is requesting authorization to submit an application for the next cycle of the same program, known as ATP Cycle 7.
Congressman Thompson included $4 million of Community Project Funding in the federal fiscal year 2023-2024 budget for the Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition (NVVTC) to complete the planning, engineering, and environmental work of over 10 miles of Class 1 and Class III multiuse path between the existing path in Yountville and the path under construction St. Helena.
Because of the federal funding requirements, NVVTC and County staff recommend that the Board approve a Funding Agreement for the County to administer the design and right-of-way acquisition phases of the Project.
