DATE: June 6 , 1995 ........carr
SUBJECT: Request the California Transportation Commission to Restore
the Funding Priority for Landscaping Along the I-80 HOV/
Reconstruction Project in West Contra Costa County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
That the Board of Supervisors strongly urges the California Transportation Commission (CTC)
place as the highest priority funding for the landscaping needed in the Pinole, San Pablo,
Richmond, El Cerrito and County areas effected by the construction of soundwalls and
destruction of landscaping due to the I-80 HOV Project.
Further, the Board of Supervisors extends an invitation to the members of the California
Transportation Commission (CTC)to travel along the I-80 corridor in West Contra Costa County
to better visualize the need for immediate landscape mitigation measures in order to prevent the
continuing defacement of the soundwalls and to erase the war-zone appearance in the San
Pablo/Richmond portion of the project.
Background:
The highway planting project along I-80 was scheduled for construction by Caltrans in FY 95-96
but funding has been deferred by the California Transportation Commission (CTC). Landscaping
is an integral part of the I-80 HOV/Reconstruction Project and as such should go forward as
planned and as promised to the effected communities.
