2.4 as amendE

DATE: APRIL 19, 1988
SUBJECT: REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR ON STATUS OF EAST
COUNTY CORRIDOR STUDY, IN RESPONSE TO A REFERRAL BY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON MARCH 1, 1988.
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background &
Justification
I. RECOMMENDATION
Accept report from Public Works Director on status of East County
Corridor Study.
II. REPORT
In May 1987, Contra Costa County entered into an agreement with
Alameda County, the Contra Costa Water District, and the Cities
of Antioch, Brentwood, and Livermore to jointly plan a
transportation corridor from Highway 4 in Antioch to I-580 in the
Livermore area.
The agreement came about for several reasons:
1. Increased traffic volumes and traffic congestion warrant the
need to provide efficient transportation corridors in
eastern Contra Costa County and northeastern Alameda County
from Highway 4 in Antioch to I-580 in Alameda County.
2 . The Kellogg-Los Vaqueros reservoir project proposed by the
Contra Costa Water District will inundate a significant
portion of Vasco Road. Thus, a replacement roadway is
needed for Vasco Road as part of the District's project.

For each of the public meetings, extensive mailings were sent.
In addition, press releases and paid newspaper advertisements
were done to ensure that the public was notified of any meetings.
Next Steps The next phase is intended to involve a more detailed
environmental analysis of the alternative alignments and the
certification of an environmental document for the preferred
alignment. After completion of that phase, the two counties and
the three cities should be in a position to adopt precise
alignments and begin protecting right of way.
The Steering Committee has continued to meet to carry on the
planning of this important corridor. However, the cost of the
next phase of the study, the EIR, is estimated at $2 million.
Because of the different time schedules and funding abilities,
the six agencies are proceeding cautiously towards an EIR for the
entire corridor. The Steering Committee has recently requested
the state's participation in the EIR, including funding for
approximately $1.6 million.
It is uncertain at this time whether all of the agencies involved
in Phase I will begin an EIR for the entire corridor. However,
the Steering Committee members from Antioch, Brentwood, and
Contra Costa County have identified the need to proceed with the
EIR for the portion of the proposed transportation corridor from
Antioch to Brentwood, including connections to Highway 4 at each
end, commonly known as Delta Expressway.
Recently, Contra Costa County entered into a consulting services
agreement with Environmental Science Associates, Inc. to perform
the field work for a biotic survey so that springtime conditions
can be adequately examined. Any results of the survey will be
incorporated into the EIR for the Delta Expressway or the East
County Corridor.
The Transportation Committee reviewed this report on April 11,
1988, and recommended its approval by the Board of Supervisors.
