BACKGROUND The senior center project consists of a 21,000 square foot building capable of supporting existing and future programs and also function as the City's Emergency Operations Center. The City is working closely with the San Leandro Hospital (operated by Eden Township Healthcare District) on this project. The senior center building will be located at 13909 East 14th Street on a parcel acquired from San Leandro Hospital. The hospital, in turn, acquired an adjacent former auto dealership site at 13889 East 14th Street, which will allow for a new entrance driveway and a shared parking lot between the senior center and hospital. As part of this project, the City will install a new traffic signal on East 14t" Street at the entrance to San Leandro Hospital and the Senior Center. Caltrans requires easements from both parties to accommodate the signal.
