CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: December 15, 2008 TO: Stephen L. Hollister, Interim C FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT D Manager ~~~~ 0 APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Stephen L. Hollister Interim City Manager RESOLUTION RENAMING THE PORTION OF HUDSON LANE TO POLAR WAY, SOUTHWEST OF SAN LEANDRO BOULEVARD. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of a resolution renaming Hudson Lane to Polar Way for the portion of Hudson Lane southwest of San Leandro Boulevard. BACKGROUND ' Analysis Dynamic Builders, on behalf of its client, Preferred Freezer Services (the company developing the former Hudson Lumber site at 400 Hudson Lane), requested that the portion of Hudson Lane southwest of San Leandro Boulevard be renamed to Polar Way. The intent is to improve the branding of the new business that will be occupying a new 248,185 square foot freezer building. The segment of Hudson Lane proposed for renaming is a public at-grade railroad crossing that is eighty (80) feet in length and forty (40) feet in width and is the sole access point from San Leandro Boulevard to 400 Hudson Lane. This segment of Hudson Lane serves no other parcel, so input was not solicited from surrounding property owners regarding the change in street name. The name "Polar Way" was approved by the Planning Department of Alameda County Community Development Agency, who notified the following agencies of the street name change: Alameda County Fire Department; Alameda County Sheriffs Department; Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Fire Dispatch; and the San Leandro Postmaster of the United States Postal Service CUSPS). The developer will install additional signage as a part of the public improvements proposed for the site.
