CITY OF SAN LEANDRO STAFF REPORT DATE: September 21, 2009 TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Engineering and Tray BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principal SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL Stephen L. Hollister City Manager RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STATE ROUTE (SR) 238 HAYWARD BYPASS - LOCAL ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (LATIP) PROJECT LIST. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The Central County Freeway Study is complete. The Central County Freeway Study Policy Advisory Committee approved a prioritized list of state highway projects for the Local Alternative Transportation Improvement Program (LATIP) that meet two criteria: 1) are located within the same corridors (I-238, I-880, and I-580) as the proposed/cancelled Hayward Bypass project; and 2) can be constructed within the next five to ten years. The City of San Leandro, the City of Hayward, Alameda County, the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) Board of Directors and the Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTA) Board of Directors must each approve this list. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council approve the SR 238 Hayward Bypass LATIP Project List as shown in the attached Figures 1 and 2 and Table 1. BACKGROUND Senate Bill 509 was signed into law in September 2004 and amended by Assembly Bill 1462 in October 2005. These two bills collectively amended Government Code Section 14528.5, which provide for the use of revenues from the sale of excess property on State Highway 238 to fund a local alternative transportation improvement program subject to approval by the California Transportation Commission. In December 2005, the ACTA Board and the San Leandro City Council adopted Amendment No. 1 to the 1986 Expenditure Plan for the Replacement Project of the Route 238 Hayward Bypass, which deleted the Route 238 Bypass from the plan and funded four projects, one of which was the Central County Freeway Study.
