Sunne Wright McPeak �J �
DATE: May 25, 1993 County
SUBJECT: Communicate Extraordinary Concern to CalTrans Regarding
the Completion Date for 1-680/24 Interchange Project
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Chair of the 1-680/24 Interchange Task Force on behalf of the Board
of Supervisors to communicate in writing to CalTrans Region 4 our extraordinary
concern that their projected date of completion for the 1-680/24 Interchange
Project is now 1999, not 1995 as was set forth in the original EIR/EIS documents.
This four-year extended period of construction is unacceptable and will make
commute conditions in Central Contra Costa County intolerable if CalTrans cannot
complete the project until the end of the decade.
Further, authorize that copies of the correspondence to CalTrans be sent to the
cities that border 1-680 (Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Martinez,
Danville, and San Ramon) and to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
BACKGROUND:
On Monday, May 17, 1993, CalTrans representatives informed the 1-680/24
Interchange Project Task Force that the completion date for the construction is
now 1999, four years later than the original completion date when ground was
broken. This was a complete surprise to me, other members of the Task Force,
and Mr. Robert McCleary, Executive Director of the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority. We need to immediately communicate our concerns to CalTrans and to
coordinate a meeting with CalTrans and the technical staff of affected jurisdictions.
Ernie Vovakis, staff to the Task Force, is preparing correspondence, and Bob
McCleary is coordinating the meeting. We must do everything we can to push the
completion date back closer to the original time frame.
