In 2002, this project was approved as part of the Alameda <br />County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) Measure B 1/2 -cent sales tax <br />reauthorization program. <br />The primary improvements of the estimated $5.4 million project included: 1) widening East <br />14th Street at 150th Avenue to add an additional eastbound left turn lane; 2) adding a <br />dedicated southbound left turn lane on Bancroft Avenue at East 14th Street; and 3) installing <br />dual northbound left turn lanes on Hesperian Boulevard at East 14th Street. <br />Additional right -of -way is required to perform these improvements. In 2009, the former gas <br />station located at 14901 East 14th Street, then operating as a Quality Tune -up Shop, was <br />acquired by the Redevelopment Agency. The Redevelopment Agency then entered into a <br />month -to -month lease agreement with the tenant, which allowed the tenant to stay on the site <br />until the project was ready to move forward. The tenant relocated to another facility in San <br />Leandro in September 2011, vacating the property. <br />This project demolished the existing building at this location, including abatement of <br />hazardous materials contained within the structure. The site has been graded and fenced. <br />All work has been done in accordance with the project specifications and City standards. Soil <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 511512012 <br />
