TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Supervisor Nancy Fanden Contra
Costa
DATE: October 18, 1988 County
SUBJECT: SUPPORT FOR CALTRANS PLAN County
FOR SAN PABLO
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
REQUEST:
That Barbara Neustadter, Deputy Director of Transportation,
review Caltans proposed creation of express bus lanes on San
Pablo at peak hours during the eight-year $210 million
widening project that will add lanes to I-80, and report
back to the Board as to how the County can support Caltrans
plan.
BACKGROUND:
Cities of the West County have been trying for a decade to
get the state to pay for maintenance of San Pablo Avenue
from Cutting Boulevard in E1 Cerrito to Highway 4 in
Hercules.
West County cities have sought state maintenance, estimated
to cost $175, 000 to $200, 000 a year, because the roadway has
become an alternate to congested I-80 .
The Caltrans plan would prohibit parking on the westbound
lanes of San Pablo from 5 : 30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and in eastbound
lanes from 3 : 30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The state agency would also
pay for a computer-aided system to coordinate traffic signal
lights and for some paving to improve the roadway before the
plan is implemented.
If the cities should agree to the installation of the
express bus lanes they should insist that the state accept
responsibility for maintenance and improvement of San Pablo
Avenue on a permanent basis .
