CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL TO: John J ermanis, City Manager DATE: July 16, 2007 FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal Engine r SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTI N: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINANCIALLY UNCONSTRAINED LOCAL ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (LA TIP) SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The Central County Freeway Study is being conducted to develop a prioritized list of state highway projects in the same corridors (1-238, 1-880, and 1-580) that would have benefited from the Hayward Bypass and that can be constructed in the next five to ten years. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Financially Unconstrained Local Alternative Transportation Improvement Program (LA TIP) project list developed as a result of the study. This approval is contingent upon approval by the Central County Freeway Study Policy Advisory Committee, City of Hayward City Council, Alameda County Board of Supervisors, Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) Board of Directors and the Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTA) Board of Directors. BACKGROUND Senate Bill 509 was signed into law in September 2004 and amended by Assembly Bill 1462 in October 2005. These two bills provide for the use of revenues from the sale of excess property on State Highway 238 to fund a local alternative transportation improvement program subject to approval by the California Transportation Commission. In Fall 2005, the ACTA Board and San Leandro City Council adopted Amendment No. 1 to the 1986 Expenditure Plan for the Replacement Project of the Route 238 Hayward Bypass, which deleted the Route 238 Bypass from the Measure and funded four projects, one of which is the Central County Freeway Study. The purpose of the Central County Freeway Study is to develop a prioritized list of state highway projects in the same corridors (1-238, 1-880, and 1-580) that would have benefited from the Hayward Bypass and that can be constructed in the next five to ten years. This prioritized list will form the LA TIP, which needs local support and approval by the California Transportation Commission at two junctures: the Financially Unconstrained LATIP (November 2007) and the prioritized final LA TIP (March 2008).
