7th street Improvement project:
Bayer to contribute $750,000 (from funds committed
pursuant to the 1992 Development Agreement) to
City-sponsored Seventh Street Improvement Project
(including improvements to Seventh and Potter
Streets) which begins this year. The project will result
in maintaining a lOS D through the year 2010. Bayer
to fund portion of improvements; City to construct.
(a) Complete Improvements:
Bayer to support City’s upcoming project to improve
signal interconnect and coordination, by providing
vehicle detection (inductive loops) and pedestrian
push buttons at up to 4 intersections with semiactuated
signal operations. The overall interconnect
and coordination project will identify the 4 intersection
locations and when complete allow San Pablo to run
more smoothly and to serve as a bypass route for
traffic that might otherwise use the Sixth Street/
University intersection. All improvements will result in
a lOS improvement at Sixth & University from F to D
in the year 2005. Bayer to fund portion of project; City
to carry out modifications.
(b) provide fair share funding (based on Bayer’s share
of growth in peak traffic generated) in the Amount of
4% of total Costs for Completion of the following
Improvements: (1) Eliminate two metered parking
spaces on the westbound approach on University
Avenue and stripe a right-turn lane; and (2) Modify the
northbound approach on Sixth Street to provide two
left turn lanes. These improvements will result in a
lOS improvement from F to D through the year 2010.
Bayer to fund portion of improvements; City to
construct.
