several other regional planning documents, such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's (MTC) Regional Bicycle Plan and EBRPD's Master Plan. Analysis Funding for this project is assembled from various sources including federal, state and local grants, EBRPD funds and a portion of the City's Measure B Bicycle and Pedestrian Fund. The Program Supplement Agreement will secure the federal funding. The project is located on three parcels. Each parcel is owned separately by the Port of Oakland, EBRPD and the City. The project includes a 300 -foot bridge that will span the San Leandro Slough and a connecting trail segment of approximately 600 feet to the north of the bridge on Port property. By previous agreement with the Port, the City will construct all of the improvements, including the connecting trail, on Port property. The Port will then take ownership and maintenance responsibility for the improvements on its property. The southern edge of the bridge sits on EBRPD land. EBRPD will provide the City with a suitable easement and land tenure over EBRPD property to allow for future maintenance and operation of the San Leandro Slough Bridge by the City. The Maintenance and Operations Agreement between the EBRPD and the City provides for the following key items for the life of the bridge: • Suspension or Limitation of Use — To provide for public safety, special events or maintenance work • Indemnification and insurance requirements • Approval and inspection of work • Davis Street Development — Indicates City's willingness to cooperate with EBRPD to improve the Davis Street entrance to the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline • Maintenance Responsibilities — Clearly defines the responsibility of the City • EBRPD commitment to fund a share of construction cost up to $164,000 Current City Council Policy • Coordinate with EBRPD to pursue funding and completion of the Bay Trail project (Resolution No. 2003-250) Previous City Council Action(s) • On November 3,'2003, by Resolution No. 2003-222, the City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for an Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTIA) Measure B Bicycle and Pedestrian Countywide Discretionary Grant for the Bay Trail Slough Bridge in the amount of $600,000 • On February 4, 2004, by Resolution No. 2004-021, the City Council approved a grant agreement with ABAG to provide design services for the subject project
