SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION • The subject project will remove the existing building and other structures as the first step in site preparation before construction of intersection improvements.

BACKGROUND In 1997 the City identified the intersection of East 14 Street/Hesperian Boulevard/150` Avenue, known as "The Triangle ", as an area requiring improvement to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety. In 2002, this project was approved as part of the Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTIA) Measure B 1/2 -cent tax reauthorization program. The primary improvements will include: 1) widen East 14 Street at 150 Avenue to add an additional eastbound left turn lane; 2) add a dedicated southbound left turn lane on. Bancroft Avenue at East 14 Street; and 3) install dual northbound left turn lanes on I-Iesperian,Boulevard at East 14 Street. Additional right of way is required to perform these improvements. In 2009, the former gas station located at 14901 East 14 Street, currently operating as a Quality Tune -up Shop, was acquired by the Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency then entered into a month -to -month lease agreement with the tenant that allowed them to stay until the project is ready to move forward.
