Matching local contribution will ultimately be funded by the Eastern Dublin and Downtown Traffic Impact Fees, the payment schedule of which must be approved by the City Council at a later date. DESCRIPTION: The Project proposes to replace the existing single-lane southbound 1-680 to eastbound 1-580 loop connection with a two-lane direct connection (flyoVer) to alleviate current and projected traffic congestion and improve operation and safety within the 1-580/1-680 Interchange. In addition, local connections to and from 1-680 will be constructed within the City of Dublin. These local connections are on and offramps ;to Amador Plaza Road and an on ramp from Village Parkway to northbound 1-680 (see area map). Attached is the standard form State Freeway Agreement. This agreemen~ amends the original Freeway Agreement between the State and the CounB, dated October 30, 1964. This Freeway Agreement is required because there are new freeway accesses to Dublin as part of this project and is necessary before Caltrans can proceed on the project. The agreement will allow Caltrans to attach ramps to the City streets, as indicated on the attached diagram. The CiD' is also agreeing to allow Caltrans to acquire right-of-way and make improvements to Dublin's City streets as necessary to complete the project. The City then agrees to take over ma/menance of the new street improvements. g:agenmisc/f~'a~e COPIES TO: Caltrans City of Pleasanton ITEM NO. A portion of the 1-580/I-680 project is within the City of Pleasanton city limits. Pleasanton is scheduling approval of their agreement for August 20, 1996. Caltrans has scheduled approval of the Agreements at the September 19, 1996 California Transportation Commission (CTC) meeting. A Negative Declaration, conforming to CEQA, was approved by Caltrans on July 16, 1996, and a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI), conforming to NEPA, was approved by the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) on July 23, 1996. Staff had some initial questions and concerns regarding the wording in the agreement. Caltrans has since addressed these concerns. Section 2 states, "City agrees and consents to the closing of City Streets .... " however, there will be no permanent closures of any City streets. The Draft Exhibit does not indicate any permanent street closures. A second question dealt with the traffic signal maintenance at the new ramp/Amador Plaza Road intersection. Caltrans requires that they maintain the traffic signal at the off- ramp to ensure that traffic will not back up into the freeway interchange. Prior to the installation of traffic signals at the on/off ramps the City will need to enter into a maintenance agreement with Caltrans to reimburse Caltrans for our share of the traffic signal maintenance. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution Approving a Freeway Agreement between the State o£ California and City of Dublin, and authorize the Mayor to si=on the Agreement on behalf of the City.
