The Honorable City it <br />City of San Leandro <br />October 13, 1977 <br />Page 2 <br />The serving utilities were notified of the proposed abandonment and all <br />have responded. They each indicated the location of their facilities within <br />the area to be abandoned and that these facilities would be relocated following <br />the completion of an agreement with the City and Redevelopment Agency. <br />OTHER NEEDS <br />Even though a portion of Washington Avenue is now used as a parking lot <br />and parking is allowed along both streets, the abandonment will not cause a <br />lon term parking shortage. It is anticipated that there will be adequate <br />parking in nearby lots to handle the parking needs of the downtown area during <br />the construction of the Orchard Park Center. Once Orchard Park is complete, <br />dc,;;ntown shoppers and business people will be able to use the over 900 spaces <br />in the Orchard Park garage. <br />There are no existing or proposed bik-ways within the area to be abandoned. <br />No other bicycle or pedestrian needs are anticipated for the area to be <br />abandoned. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />I find that the portions of West Estudillo Avenue and Washington Avenue, <br />as described in Exhibit B, are unnecessary for present and future public use. <br />I recommend that the City Council proceed with the requested abandonment. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />R. H. Ward <br />Public Works Director <br />and City Engineer <br />RHW/BS/aj <br />Attach. <br />
