3. Add the Route 238 (Mission Boulevard) Improvements Project _ Union City Segment, to the Essential Transportation Project List in the Expenditure Plan; 4. Add the Route 238 (Mission Boulevard) Improvements Project _ Fremont Segment, to the Essential Transportation Project List in the Expenditure Plan; and 5. Add the 1-880 to Route 238 East-West Connector Project to the Essential Transportation Project List in the Expenditure Plan. It is further recommended that the approval of Amendment No.2 to the 1986 Expenditure Plan be made contingent upon the approval of the same amendment by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and become effective upon such approval by MTC which is expected by the end of September, 2006. ACTA is requesting that the cities and the County Board of Supervisors consider the amendment in advance of MTC in order to expedite approval of the amendment, so that the projects added by the amendment can begin. The intent of this Expenditure Plan Amendment is, to the extent possible, mitigate the loss of a regional transportation route in the County with a program of replacement projects in the County that provide for congestion relief in the same corridor. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND In 1986, Alameda County voters authorized a half-cent transportation sales tax to finance improvements to the County's overburdened transportation infrastructure, known as Measure B. The Alameda County Transportation Authority (ACTA) was established to administer this tax. The Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan (Expenditure Plan), dated August 1986, guides the use of those funds. The collection of this tax for the 1986 Measure B program expired on March 31,2002. The Essential Transportation Project List in the original 1986 Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan listed the Route 238 Hayward Bypass, the Route 238 (Mission Boulevard) Improvements, and the Route 84 Realignment Project, as one integrated project. In actuality, these projects have been funded and delivered as separate projects. Amendment No.1 to the Expenditure Plan that the Pleasanton City Council and the Board adopted last year deleted the Hayward Bypass Project and added replacement projects, but left the Mission Boulevard Improvements Project and the Route 84 Realignment Project together as one project. Amendment No.2 to the Expenditure Plan proposes to update the Expenditure Plan language SR 06:194 Page 2 of 4
