AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 19, 1996
SUBJECT:
I-580/I-680 Local Match Credit for Furore Mitigation Measures and
Commitment to Current Project Local Match Shortfall
Report Prepared by: Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director

Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt resolution accepting $150,000 from Alameda County
Transportation Authority (ACTA) in 1-580/I-680 project local match
credit for Dublin's agreement to fund potential future project
roadway mitigations on Dublin Blvd., and committing to fund the
current $116,760 local match shortfall.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
This action would accept $150,000 in 1-580/1-680 Interchange local
match credit in exchange for Dublin's accepting the responsibility of
making potentially needed mitigation improvements to Dublin
Boulevard in the estimated amount of $300,000. The City would be
committing $116,760 of the $150,000 credit toward the existing
local project match shortfall with the expectation of recovering this
$116,760 from the proposed Tri-Valley Regional Transportation
Fee.
DESCRIPTION: The Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTA) has
prepared an environmental document for the proposed 1-580/1-680 flyover project. In that document, two
potential roadway mitigations were identified on Dublin Boulevard due to increased traffic to and from
the new ramps into downtown Dublin.
One of these improvements is the potential need for an additional right turn lane from eastbound Dublin
Boulevard to southbound Village Parkway, which leads to a northbound on-ramp for 1-680. The other is
the need for a second left turn lane from westbound Dublin Boulevard to southbound Amador Plaza Road,
which leads to a southbound on-ramp for 1-680. These improvements will be needed if and when the
West Dublin BART station opens at the south end of Golden Gate Drive.
It is proposed that ACTA would allow Dublin $150,000 in credit toward Dublin's local match in
exchange for Dublin's taking on the responsibility for the potential future improvements.

ITEM NO.

As a second related item, it is proposed that Dublin take on the responsibility of the remaining 1-580/I-680
flyover pr~0ject local match shortfall. This shortfall is in the amount of $116,760 and would be taken out
of the additional $150,000 local match credit. It is Staff's recommendation that if the local jurisdictions
approve a regional transportation fee being developed by the Th-Valley Transportation Council, the City
would be repaid out of the fee pool.
Staff feels that the proposal is reasonable and recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution
accepting $150,000 from ACTA in 1-580/I-680 project local match credit for Dublin's agreement to fund
potential future project roadway mitigations on Dublin Blvd., and committing to fund the current
$116,760 local match shortfall. '
