CITY OF SAN LEANDRO ALAMEDA COUNTY CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is between the City of San Leandro ("COSL") and the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency ("ACCMA").

Interstate 880 ("I-880") is a principal transportation corridor for the movement of workers, goods, and services within Alameda County and in particular through the City of San Leandro. B. The portion of I-880 through San Leandro is currently planned to be improved by the extension of the southbound HOV lane from the northern San Leandro border to just south of the I-880/Marina Boulevard-Marina Boulevard Auto Mall Interchange ("Interchange") in San Leandro ("HOV Lane Improvements"). ACCMA is acting as the sponsor for this project, which is being primarily financed by the Corridor Mobility Improvement Program of the State Infrastructure Bond Program. C. The COSL anticipates a major redevelopment project that will directly impact the Interchange. The City has determined that improvements to the Interchange are warranted to maintain traffic at acceptable operation levels ("Interchange Improvements"). D.

E. The ACCMA acknowledges that it is in the best interest of the residents of Alameda County that the Interchange Improvements and the HOV Lane Improvements be coordinated to provide an integrated transportation system that efficiently uses funding resources to improve traffic conditions. F. The Interchange Improvements are anticipated to be funded by local contributions, the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and the Central County Freeway -Local Area Transportation Improvement Program (LATIP). G. The COSL and ACCMA have agreed that the ACCMA will serve as the project manager of the Interchange Improvements and coordinate the final planning, environmental, design and construction of the Interchange Improvements with the HOV Lane Improvements. H. The COSL will contribute $5.072 million in local funds to be used to complete the design and construction of the Interchange Improvements in conjunction with the HOV Lane Improvements.
