BACKGROUND The I-880/Marina Boulevard interchange currently operates below the minimum acceptable Level of Service (LOS) as described in the City of San Leandro's 2015 General Plan. The City's General Plan identifies the I-880/Marina Boulevard ramps as a facility in need of improvement to meet future traffic needs as a result of expected development. The interchange ramps currently operate at LOS F during the evening peak hours. The General Plan indicates that these ramp intersections can achieve an acceptable LOS only if improvements are implemented. The former Albertson's distribution facility was purchased by Kaiser. Kaiser intends to subdivide the property to allow the construction and operation of a planned medical facility and a planned retail center (Medical-Retail Complex). The planned retail center will be built, owned a~~d operated by ICI Development (ICI). The Medical-Retail Complex's traffic will impact the I- 880/Marina Interchange and will require its improvement to keep traffic operations at an acceptable level of service. To facilitate the improvement of the interchange, Kaiser will contribute its fair share of the cost of improvement in advance of its formal entitlements to meet the planned conditions of approval for the Medical-Retail Complex.
