File Number: 15-259 <br />not funded by General Funds. He discussed various projects and the availability of funds for <br />each project. C. Zapata noted that there are approximately $5M in projects. N. Thom <br />answered questions from the Committee regarding fund assignments and placement of the <br />projects on the list. <br />The Committee recommended that staff should look into the overhead utilities blight on 150th <br />Avenue. Their feeling is that since the City is promoting the Bayfair Mall, staff should consider <br />adding that strip of 150th Avenue to the Underground project. Undergrounding will be <br />discussed at a future Committee meeting. <br />N. Thom briefly reviewed the list of projects competing for General Fund money. He <br />explained the process of ranking the projects in relation to the funds available for each <br />project.

Recommend to <br />review in detail at a future Committee meeting. <br />• Marina Boulevard Streetscape Improvement Design: Need to complete conceptual plan <br />to determine actual cost. <br />• ADA Transition Plan Construction. It is part of the City's commitment to Housing and <br />Urban Development program. The project is partially funded by CDBG grant funds. <br />• Annual Public Works Services (PWS) Maintenance Project: Provides for Park <br />Maintenance capital improvements and recommend higher ranking. <br />• E. 14th Street South Area Pedestrian Improvements: Project will compete well for <br />Grant Funding. <br />• Annual Sidewalk Repair at City Properties: Provides the ability to maintain City <br />properties. <br />• Bike and Pedestrian Improvement BayFair Center to BayFair BART: This project will <br />be eligible for grant funding. <br />• E. 14th Street South Area Medians: Councilmember Lopez wanted to recommend <br />installing bike lanes instead of medians. Bike lanes would be a better use of the space. <br />Councilmember Reed asked if the community and Caltrans will be involved in the East <br />City of San Leandro Page 3 Printed on 4/28/2015 <br />
