CITY OF SAN LEANDRO APPROVED AND FORWARDED TO CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Stephen L. Hollister DATE: June 6, 2011 City Manager TO: Stephen L. Hollister, City Mana er FROM: Uche Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transport ion Department BY: Keith R. Cooke, Principa Engineer V+ Engineering and Transp rtation Department SUBJECT /PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION TO USE RULE 20A FUNDS ON THE EDEN ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FROM DOOLITTLE DRIVE TO DAVIS STREET. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a resolution to use Rule 20A funds on the Eden Road Improvement Project from Doolittle Drive to Davis Street. BACKGROUND The City plans to significantly improve Eden Road as shown on the plan line titled "Eden Road." The plan includes approximately 1,800 linear feet of paved roadway lanes to extend Eden Road from Doolittle Drive to Davis Street near the intersection at Business Center Drive. The improvements will include sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and bike lanes. This new road segment will be a primary access point to the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline for both pedestrians and bicyclists. An Underground Utility District was established by the City over Eden Road. Presence of an Underground Utility District requires the following: 1) that power for new streetlights comes from underground conduits; 2) that approximately 1,000 lineal feet of existing overhead utilities be relocated underground; and 3) that any future utility installations be done underground. It is anticipated that the project will be funded using a mix of Redevelopment Agency funds and contributions from property owners. Owners of property adjacent to the new roadway or that receive benefit from the new roadway may be asked to vote on an Assessment District and if passed, fund part of the project in an amount proportional to their benefit. •
