LPA for AC Transit BRT 9 May 17, 2010 The LPA process will come to the end with the following process: • The Planning Commission's review of the proposed LPA and specifically the termination option and the use of dedicated lanes, public comment and recommendation of an LPA to the City Council • The City Council will review the work to date and make a decision on an LPA. This final LPA would be sent to AC Transit by April 2010 for study in the FEIS/R. The impacts related to the revisions should be analyzed prior to any final decision on the final design being made by the City Council. The impact to cars as they try to cross East 14th Street from side streets should be addressed along with the issues described earlier in this staff report. The City Council will need to clearly understand its options with or without BRT prior to deciding on a final design for San Leandro, and this information should be provided in the FEIS/R.
