II. Financiallmpact:
No impact to General Funds. The $135,000 advance from the Measure C-88 Local Street
Program may delay a street resurfacing project for two years.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In 1986, the voters of Alameda County approved Measure B which imposes a 1/2 cent sales tax
on Alameda County to pay for transportation improvement projects in the adopted expenditure
plan. One of the projects in the expenditure plan is to improve the 1-680/1-580 interchange. This
project is estimated to cost $120 million. The expenditure plan specified that jurisdictions in the
region should provide $10 million in local match for the project. ACTA requests that in addition to
Alameda County and its cities, Contra Costa County, San Ramon and Danville also participate
in the sharing of local match funds. Based on the number of trip ends in each jurisdiction in the
TVTC area, ACTA further determines that the County's share is $135,000.
Contra Costa County's participation is voluntary. The Board, however, has consistently
emphasized the need for cooperation and coordination to solve regional transportation problems.
The.improvement to the 1-680/1-580 interchange will benefit the residents of Contra Costa County
and San Joaquin County, as well as residents of Alameda County. Since most of the $120 million
cost of the project is financed with Alameda County funds, there is justification for Contra Costa
County's participation in a regional project.
As each project is unique, participation by the County in this project should not be viewed as
obligating the County to other projects. Each project has to be reviewed based on its merits, its
benefit to Contra Costa County's residents and on potential funding sources.
The 1-680/1-580 is a major gateway to the Bay Area. Its improvement will benefit San Joaquin
County , especially the commute trips between San Joaquin County and destinations in south
Alameda and Santa Clara counties. ACTA has agreed to facilitate the inclusion of San Joaquin
County in solving the regional transportation problems in the Tri Valley Area.
IV. Consequences Of Negative Action:
It is conceivable that if Contra Costa County does not participate, this project will not go forward.
