Staff recommends that the City Council, as lead agency, adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the construction of the East 14th Street /Hesperian Boulevard /150th Avenue Street Improvements Project. BACKGROUND In 1997, the City identified the intersection of East 14th Street /Hesperian Boulevard /150th 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 Improvement Authority (ACTIA) Measure B 1/2 -cent tax reauthorization program. Analysis The primary improvements will include: 1) widen East 14th Street at 150th Avenue to add an additional eastbound left turn lane; 2) add a dedicated southbound left turn lane on Bancroft Avenue at East 14th Street; and 3) install dual northbound left turn lanes on Hesperian Boulevard at East 14th Street. Property acquisition was required to accommodate the required improvements. City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 312712012
