BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to and from the North Richmond community. The outcome of the Soto Street Alignment
Study concluded that the new roadway would create significant adverse impacts to the
Union Pacific Railroad, local business owners and San Pablo & Wildcat Creeks. As a
result, the Agency now wishes to enter into an Amended and Restated Project Agreement
and Work Program to explore the feasibility of developing a second alternative precise
alignment using a 7th Street alignment. The proposed 7th Street alignment would extend
7th Street from Market Ave. across Wildcat Creek north to Brookside Drive. The
proposed route continues east along Brookside Drive to the Union Pacific Railroad
tracks, and then north across San Pablo Creek to Parr Boulevard (Alternative A).
Alternative B would connect to Parr Blvd using an alignment west of an existing
manufacturing business (APN #409-320-031). Both alternatives are included in this
amended agreement.
The estimated cost of this additional work is $145,000 and will result in a Final Report
for completing the precise route for the 7th Street Alignment. The original cost of the
Soto Street Alignment was $185,000. Together, the Agency’s total payment under this
Amended and Restated Project Agreement and Work Program shall not exceed $330,000.
This new 7th Street Alignment will also be incorporated into the Environmental Impact
Report for the North Richmond Specific Plan which calls for the transformation of over
200 acres of underutilized land into parks, open space, residential housing, and
commercial/retail uses.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Agency not enter into an amended agreement for the 7th Street Alignment, the
North Richmond community will continue to be impacted by truck congestion and
pollution in the residential neighborhood.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project, if implemented, would provide significant safety and health benefits to
residents, including children, in the North Richmond community
