The 2001-06 TIP fully allocates the available
federal-aid funding in the Capital District in the five-year period to
projects. However, project expenditures
are not precisely balanced with available funding on a yearly basis. Some programming capacity in the first three
years of the program was used to advance the preliminary engineering for
non-NYSDOT sponsored projects, allowing the use of local resources or
consultants to design projects off the state system. An established reimbursement procedure and Municipal Agreement
process will be followed. Construction
funding for these projects was not advanced at this time. This action allows, at local option, work to
proceed to ready a project for construction in case an opportunity arises to
advance the construction. Advancement
of construction explicitly requires demonstration that the integrity of fiscal
constraint for the TIP as a whole is upheld.
Construction schedule adjustments will be done either in the context of
the next routine TIP update or by TIP amendment. The following TIP projects show the preliminary engineering phase
of project development in the first three years of the TIP. For this to occur, the understanding is that
the sponsoring agency will assume the
lead in project development. Delivering
the ambitious agenda of projects included in the TIP is a shared
responsibility.
A list of these projects is in Table 1 on page 12. In addition to those projects, A347 (Lincoln Avenue Sidewalks)
was obligated and rolled off the TIP and S139 was replaced with S157.
