RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
of the County Recorder and DIRECT the Real Property Division to have said Grant of
Easement recorded in the Office of the County Recorder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project cost estimate is $1,982,000 and will be funded by Proposition 1B (55%) and
the Federal High Risk Rural Road (HRRR) program (45%).
BACKGROUND:
This section of Alhambra Valley Road is a narrow two-lane road that has tight turning
radius and very little shoulder area for drivers to recover when vehicles veer off the road.
The design of this rural road was not intended to accommodate the speed of travel or
volume that exists today. The Project will not cause an increase in traffic or encourage
changes to existing land use patterns; therefore, no new vehicle trips are expected to
occur.
The purpose of the Project is to realign an approximate 1,200-foot long section of
Alhambra Valley Road beginning approximately 4,600 feet east of Castro Ranch Road to
provide shoulder and clear recovery areas for motorists should their vehicle veer off the
traveled way and meet the design standards for a Class III bicycle route. The majority of
the work will take place on the north side of the road with minor realignment and soil
stabilization improvements occurring on the south side of the road. In addition, the
current storm water drainage with an existing 12-inch diameter culvert pipe will be
replaced with an 18-inch diameter culvert pipe and rock slope protection will be placed
around the culvert outfall to prevent erosion. The County will quitclaim back to EBMUD
the right of way no longer necessary for road purposes within the Project area. EBMUD
is requiring the County to indemnify them as a condition for the grant of easement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will not have sufficient land rights to complete the roadway and drainage
improvements according to the approved plans and specifications and would end up with
land no longer necessary.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
