be heard as to matters specified by law under C.C.P. Section 1245.235 as set forth below.
Upon recommendation of County Counsel, the following report is made for the Board's
information and consideration prior to taking action upon said hearing.
1. Proposed Project - The project consisted of widening State Route 4, between the
Willow Pass Road undercrossing in Concord to 0.1 miles west of the Bailey Road
undercrossing, from four through lanes to six through lanes, providing land rights
for two future high occupancy vehicle lanes and for a forty-four foot wide median for
the East County BART extension, as well as constructing two auxiliary truck
climbing lanes between the two Willow Pass Road interchanges. In addition a new
partial cloverleaf interchange was constructed at Willow Pass Road in West
Pittsburg.
In order to clear title to the right of way needed for the project, it is necessary for the
County to exercise its power of eminent domain. Pursuant to Section 1245.235 of
the Code of Civil Procedure, notice was given to the following persons:

ble with the greatest public good and the least private iniurv.

FISCAL IMPACT
No impact to the General Fund. Potential for new funds for transportation
improvement projects in Contra Costa.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On January 14, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Transportation Committee
a report from the Public Works Director regarding prospective transportation
improvement projects for the 1998 State Transportation Improvement Program
(STIP). In the past, the California Transportation Commission has used the STIP to
allocate hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation improvements. As 1997
unfolds, there is a potential opportunity to direct significant state transportation
funding toward projects along the State Route 4 corridor in Contra Costa County.
On January 16, 1997, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) initiated
the 1998 STIP process in Contra Costa by issuing a Call for Projects letter which
invited each city, transit operator, and the County to nominate regionally significant
projects in Contra Costa for the 1998 STIP (see Exhibit A). This is the first of
several reports from the Transportation Committee to the Board of Supervisors
regarding the 1998 STIP. Exhibit B provides a preliminary schedule of the 1998
STIP process, identifying key decisions anticipated during the coming months.
The California Transportation Commission (CTC) will ultimately review and adopt
the 1998 STIP after receiving input from agencies and commissions statewide. The
Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will prepare a Regional
Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) to be submitted to the CTC for
inclusion in the 1998 STIP. The RTIP will represent the consensus of the nine Bay
Area counties on the region's project priorities for the STIP. As the Congestion
Management Agency for Contra Costa, the CCTA will represent Contra Costa
interests at both MTC and CTC. CCTA, following the Call for Projects to transit
operators, cities, and the County, will evaluate the submitted projects based on
established criteria from MTC, hold a public hearing, and then adopt a list of
projects for submittal to MTC.
In previous years, the Board of Supervisors has provided input to the STIP process
from a countywide perspective.

BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (continued)
Basis for the Candidate Project List
On December 13, 1994 the Board established the State Route 4 Corridor, from
Interstate 80 to Interstate 205 in San Joaquin County, as the highest priority for
future transportation funding. This finding was based on the need to improve
safety, reduce congestion, and improve goods movement within the only corridor
which provides an east-west traverse through the entire County. These conditions
on State Route 4 Corridor have not changed since the Board's finding in December
1994. Accordingly, the Transportation Committee recommends that the Board
reaffirm its commitment to the State Route 4 Corridor and urge the CCTA to focus
the 1998 STIP on improvements within the corridor. Nominating other projects
would dilute the potential to pool state funding for needed improvements for the
State Route 4 Corridor.
While the Transportation Committee acknowledges that the 1-680 HOV Lane
Project is a high priority project, we recommend that the Board ask both CCTA and
MTC to consider programming Toll Bridge Funds to construct this project instead of
using Contra Costa's share of Flexible Congestion Relief funds. An operational
analysis for the 1-680 corridor (1-80 in Solano County to SR 24), prepared by
Caltrans as part of the Martinez-Benicia Bridge Project's environmental review,
identified the HOV lanes as one of several needed improvements for 1-680 to make
the proposed new bridge more efficient. The Benicia Martinez Bridge Project
environmental document listed the 1-680 HOV project on a list of "unfunded
complementary improvements". This indicates that the 1-680 HOV Lane Project is
more directly associated with the Martinez-Benicia Bridge Project and, therefore,
should qualify for funding from the Toll Bridge Revenue Fund.
Exhibit C provides project fact sheets for the proposed improvements to the State
Route 4 Corridor, including cost estimates and funding shortfalls for each project.
The Transportation Committee believes that these candidate projects would
measure well against the previously mentioned evaluation criteria. Pending release
of Contra Costa's STIP fund estimate by CTC and discussion of candidate projects
by the RTPCs, the Transportation Committee will return to the Board with
consideration of a 1998 STIP priority list which shows recommended funding
amounts for each project.

Attachment A outlines the information that we are seeking; however, if detailed information is
unknown at this time, please provide as much information as possible, with emphasis on cost,
schedule, and expected benefits of the project.
I want to emphasize that this effort is very preliminary. We do not yet know what programming
rules the CTC or MTC may adopt, nor do we know precisely the year in which funding might be
available. But we do believe that it is prudent to create an inventory of potential candidate projects.
Following the adoption of programming rules by the MTC and CTC, the Authority may elect to
solicit formal applications from this pool of projects in March or April.
For your information I am also enclosing as an attachment,the statutory language defining the FCR
program. Please note that time projects which cost-effectively alleviate congestion by increasing
the capacity of rail, local arterial or state highways best reflect the principal intent of the flexible
congestion relief funding category.
We are also attaching two additional documents for your consideration, review and comment. First,
Attachment C is proposed screening criteria submitted by the Contra Costa Economic Partnership,
and briefly discussed by the Authority at its January 15 meeting. The Economic Partnership, and
the Contra Costa Council, suggested that these criteria could be used in a screening process to
qualify projects as candidates for Contra Costa's nominations for the 1998 STIP. Attachment D
reflects the initial comments of the Authority's Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC), which
reviewed preliminary STIP information at the Authority's request at its January 16, 1997 meeting.
All proposed criteria will be fully considered by the Authority,probably at its March meeting,before
final decisions are made.
We would appreciate your comments on the proposed criteria and the TCC's initial comments, along
with your identification of potential candidate projects, for further consideration by the TCC, RTPCs
and Authority.
Should you or you staff have questions relating to this request,please direct them to Paul Maxwell,
Deputy Director for Projects. Thank you for your assistance in responding to this request to identify
potential candidate projects for consideration in the 1998 STIP process — we look forward to
working with you in an open and facilitated process as the Authority determines the"best" mix of
projects to submit for funding in the 1998 STIP. We will keep you apprised as the process evolves,
and when applications are formally sought.
Sincerely,
