PROJECT CHARTER: EAST 14TH STREET/MISSION BOULEVARD AND FREMONT BOULEVARD CORRIDOR <br />PROJECT <br />between the <br />Alameda County Transportation Commission <br />and <br />California Department of Transportation, Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District, the County of Alameda, <br />and the Cities of San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, and Fremont <br />Project Background <br />The East 14th Street/Mission Boulevard and Fremont Boulevard Corridor Project (“Project”) will identify <br />a set of implementable near-, medium-, and long-term multimodal improvements to increase the <br />corridor’s ability to move people and goods, improve access to businesses, and serve residents with a <br />focus on benefits to the safety, reliability, comfort, and connectivity of the corridor’s transit, bicycle, and <br />pedestrian facilities. The Project will build upon past planning efforts to identify those improvements <br />that are locally supported and regionally effective. <br />The Project Corridor is generally defined as shown in Figure 1 and will include parallel routes and <br />perpendicular connections that provide multimodal connectivity to the Corridor. Final Project termini <br />will be defined at the end of the first phase of the Project. To ensure that the Project can identify, <br />develop and implement near-, medium-, and long-term projects, the Project Corridor will generally be <br />limited to streets and pathways within ¼ to ½ mile on either side of the Corridor including access roads <br />to Bay Area Rapid Transit stations. <br />Phase 1 of the Project includes existing conditions review, corridor segmentation, and definition of <br />corridor limits. Phase 2 of the Project includes purpose and need, goal development, concept <br />identification, concept evaluation, concept refinement, final report preparation, and scoping of Phase 3. <br />During Phase 2, the Partnering Agencies will play a key role in assisting with the selection of near-, <br />medium-, and long-term concept alternatives. Phase 3 of the Project will include design development <br />and environmental approval through the appropriate project development processes of the approving <br />agencies (Caltrans and local jurisdictions). All phases will include outreach activities to ensure <br />stakeholders in the corridor have input into the Project. <br />Project Charter Purpose <br />This Project Charter is a non-binding agreement with the intent of establishing and memorializing a <br />mutual understanding between Alameda CTC (“Alameda CTC” or “Sponsoring Agency”), and California <br />Department of Transportation (“Caltrans”), Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (“AC Transit”), the <br />County of Alameda, and the Cities of San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, and Fremont (collectively the <br />“Partnering Agencies”). The intent of this Project Charter is to memorialize the respective commitments <br />of the Sponsoring Agency and the Partnering Agencies to working cooperatively to further the goals of <br />the Project. Nothing in this Project Charter commits any agency to payment of agency funds or to enter <br />into any contract. This Project Charter also creates no entitlement to damages or any equitable remedy, <br />including injunctive relief. <br />674
