Cooperation Agreement between the City of San Leandro and the Redevelopment Agency 2 August 13, 2008 As part of its Annual Overlay/Rehabilitation Program, the City is proposing to reconstruct Adams Avenue from Doolittle Drive to Bigge Street, in the vicinity of the recently completed Doolittle Drive Gateway improvements.

Since the project is in the West San Leandro/MacArthur Redevelopment Project Area and serves as a major access road to one of the City's industrial clusters, the Agency would like to cooperate with the City on this project and provide the necessary additional funding for the project in the amount of $400,000.
