CoUqy SUBJECT: Report on 1-680/SR-242 Soundwalls in Pleasant Hill and Projected Completiion-Date SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION Receive report from Ernie Vouvakis of the Community Development Department on 1) the status of the situation regarding the soundwall in the Sherman Acres area along 1-680, and 2) about the completion date for work along 1-680. Consider action to be taken. BACKGROUND During recent construction along 1-680, Caltrans inadvertently demolished the entire soundwall in the Sherman Acres area of the freeway in Pleasant Hill. It was not intended that the wall be entirely destroyed while construction and improvements are made along 1-680 but rather that it would be replaced after all work was completed during the seventh phase of the project. Due to noise and safety concerns and because the soundwall was built with monies received from the Community Development Block Grant fund, the Board of Supervisors should consider requesting Caltrans to replace the soundwall immediately. Also, it was learned at the May 17, 1993, meeting of the I-680(SR-24 Task Force that the completion time for the entire project has been moved back from 1995 to 1999. The Board of Supervisors needs to be apprised as to why a delay is being considered by Caltrans.
