Summary <br />Construct Eden Road from Doolittle Drive to Davis Street consistent with the adopted plan line and completed <br />construction documents. <br />Description <br />Project will construct a two-lane roadway along the existing Eden Road right-of-way plus a segment connecting the <br />Business Center Drive/Davis St intersection with the west end of Eden Road. Also included are the construction of <br />water mains, storm drain lines, driveways, sidewalk (on one side only), curb & gutter, fire hydrants, and streetlights. <br />A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Doolittle Drive with Eden Road. Overhead utilities will be <br />relocated underground. Work will be done per the plans designed by Kier & Wright as part of the Eden Road Design <br />project. Property acquisition will be necessary for the construction of future Eden Road that runs north to south, plus <br />a strip of right-of-way from the City of Oakland / Port of Oakland, who has indicated a willingness to dedicate this <br />ROW as part of the project. This project is currently 30% funded, primarily through former redevelopment agency <br />funds. This appropriation includes $750,000 in former redevelopment agency funds toward the City's share of an <br />assessment district. If the assessment district is approved the project will be fully funded. <br />Justification or Benefit of Project <br />The section of land currently known as Eden Road is a dirt access road for some businesses. The area floods in the <br />winter, and becomes muddy and rutted. Paving and extending Eden Road will provide traffic congestion relief to the <br />busy Davis/Doolittle intersection as well as paved vehicular access for the businesses along Eden Road. The <br />increased accessibility will stimulate new private investment in several key industrial parcels. <br />Consequences of not doing the Project <br />Without the project the road will remain unimproved. <br />Project Numb 2006.0060Project Typ Roadway pavement <br />Detailed Cost $4,800,000 Status Active <br />Department/Sponsor Community Development <br />Impact to Operation Cost Neutral Impact to Maintenance Cost Increase <br />Likely Cost <br />Categor Roadways for vehicles <br />Project Name Eden Road Construction <br />134
