The project will reconstruct both the <br />Davis Street and Marina Boulevard overcrossings. The project will also construct <br />improvements to accommodate additional traffic by providing signalized off -ramps at Marina <br />Boulevard and an additional lane on Davis Street from the southbound off -ramp to Warden <br />Avenue. The majority of the project is being constructed with funds from the 2006 Proposition <br />1 B Bond, with additional funds provided by developer contributions for improvements at <br />Marina Boulevard and Measure B and Federal Earmark funds for the new lane on Davis <br />Street. <br />Recognizing the special circumstance of the project and the singular opportunity for <br />implementing the General Plan's goal of providing a gateway at these major entrances into <br />the city, Staff requested that aesthetic improvements be made to the interchanges. The <br />Alameda CTC and its consultants, WMH Corporation and Haygood & Associates Landscape <br />Architects, developed a basic design feature set. There were four aesthetic features identified <br />in the preliminary design. The features included: 1) End Corbel; 2) Retaining Wall /Wingwall <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 211512012 <br />
