SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S)& BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
.Approve and Authorize the Redevelopment Director to sign a contract with Contra Costa County for the design
and acquisition of properties for the realignment of Brookside Drive located in the North Richmond
Redevelopment Project Area.
FISCAL IMPACT
No General Fund money will be used on these projects. The total estimated contract amount is $680,000. The
Redevelopment Agency will reimburse the County for expenditures up to$680,000 out of its Bond Proceeds for the
North Richmond Project Area. The project is included in the Agency budget, adopted for the use of Bond
Proceeds.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
A major redevelopment activity in North Richmond is to improveand upgrade the existing infrastructure.
Brookside Drive, a major corridor through the industrial section of North Richmond, is very substandard and is
slated for some of this activity. The existing road contains two adjacent ninety degree turns which presents a safety
hazard for the industrial traffic. In addition, the owners of the eleven acre parcel, on the northerly tip of the turns,
proposes to develop this land as an industrial park. This contract will eliminate the unsafe turns and improve the
road grade east to the City of Richmond boundary. The Redevelopment Agency hopes that by constructing the
roadway improvements, not only will visually enhance the area,but the infrastructure improvements will stimulate
economic development along Brookside Drive.
