DV.~CRIPTION: Caltrans has been experiencing a reduction in revenues over the past
several years and the State's roadside landscape installation and maintenance has been ~eatly reduced.
As a result of this reduction, weeds and overgrowth have dominated the landscape on the west bound 1-
580 offramp to northbound San Ramon Road. Being a major entrance lo Dablin. this project has been
developed at the CiD' Council's direction to help screen Caltrans' lack of maintenance.
The 1-580 Beautification Project will install approximately 290 shrubs (5-Gallon Xylosma Congestum -
the same shrub as planted along the east side of Village Parkway) along the westbound 1-580 off-ramp to
San Ramon Road. Beginning at the intersection of the 1-580 off-ramp and San Ramon Road, the project
continues south and east along the off-ramp for approximately 900 feet. Automatic irrigation will be
included with the shrub installation. When mature, these plants will provide an aesthetic screen obscuring
over~owth and/or weeds along the ramp.
