Client: Peralta Community College District
Location: Berkeley City College, Berkeley, CA
Industry: Higher Education
Date of Loss: June 28, 2023
Type of Loss: Structure and contents mitigation
Total Cost: $8,465
Contact Name & Title: Jeremy Bordi, Senior Project Manager Contact Info: [email protected] – (415) 716-8962
Background: Peralta Community College acquired a 25,374 SF, three story building for Berkeley City College use, located on a major intersection in downtown Berkeley. The neighborhood is heavily populated with the unhoused population and as the building had been unoccupied for some time, many sought refuges within.

Loss Description: Sharjo, LLC dba ServiceMaster Restoration Services was brought in to do the interior cleaning of the building. Although the windows and doors had been boarded up, it soon became an interior encampment. There were needles and drug paraphernalia, human and bio waste, rotten food and trash scattered throughout the structure. We were called in to provide abatement and cleaning services which included removal of all the trash, biohazard waste and graffiti, sterilization and to get the building safe for demolition and construction.

What made this job unique or challenging:
• This project involved the coordination of multiple agencies and stakeholders prior, during and after the encampment abatement. The City of Berkeley Police Department conducted the initial site clearance as well as periodic on-site support. Berkeley City College Campus Security was present securing the site throughout the project. Kitchell Corporation, the general contractor doing the demolition and construction, was involved in establishing the scope of work. Peralta Community College District and Berkeley City College owned and operated the facility. Clear communication was needed to keep all parties informed of project timelines, immediate issues, and any other pertinent information.
• The building location provided additional challenges. It is located on a high traffic intersection in downtown Berkeley that is heavily populated with unhoused people. The ground floor’s windows and doors were boarded up and had to remain boarded up throughout the abatement process.

The main door was opened in the morning to let our crews in and then closed behind us. In order to exit, our crews had a radio to communicate with the campus security that was stationed outside the main door, requesting that they remove the barriers. • Although there was electricity, there were very few working overhead lights. An unoccupied building is a haven for a particular sector of the unhoused population. Not only does it protect them from the elements and provide a much more comfortable living environment, more importantly it provides an 'out of public sight' environment that quickly becomes a 'shoot house', especially if there is power. In order to avoid detection, the facility’s lights are dismantled or broken so they won’t be used and seen from outside. Without overhead lights and boarded up windows, portable lights and headlights were used to illuminate the environment. • Security protocol required both the facility and the 40-yard debris box to be secure. Trash and debris needed to be compiled in a designated area within the building and disposed of in mass.

When we were ready to dispose of the trash and debris, the Campus Security team would open up the boarded door, and the City of Berkeley Police Department would secure the area containing the debris box so it would not be accessed by the general population.

Describe the resources used: Four technicians, PPE, portable lights and headlamps, bio disposal containers, shovels, racks, debris removal equipment, 40-yard debris box How long did it take to complete the job: One day

c) Cleaning Processes and Techniques
Purpose: The Biohazardous Cleaning Protocol is designed to help employees understand the hazards and follow the safety rules associated with biohazards. This program contains the following:
• Hazard Identification
• Establishing the Scope of Loss
The company will follow our Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Plan and treat all blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) as infectious waste and will use universal precautions while remediating trauma losses. As a result, all human blood and body fluids are treated as if they are known to be infectious for HBV, HIV and other bloodborne pathogens. In circumstances where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluid types, all bodily fluids are assumed to be potentially infectious.

Identifying Hazards:

Hazard Description
Bloodborne Pathogens • Bloodborne pathogens include but are not limited to Hepatitis B and C, AIDs and HIV. These are found in infected blood or bodily fluids
• This operation uses "Universal Precautions." As a result, all human blood and body fluids are treated as if they are known to be infectious for HBV, HIV and other bloodborne
pathogens
Needles or other sharp
material
• Needles or other sharp material have been commonplace for these encampments
• May be contaminated with Bloodborne Pathogens or other OPIM
Weapons • Guns
• Knives
• Any object fashioned in a manner that would cause harm to another
Hazardous Material Four Characteristics of Hazardous Waste:
• Ignitability: Flash point less than 60°C/140°F Ex - Used solvents, propane
• Corrosivity: Strong acids or bases, or that produce acid or alkaline solutions. A liquid waste may be corrosive if it is able to corrode metal containers. Ex- Acid from a lead acid battery
• Reactivity: Are unstable under normal conditions. Can cause explosions or release toxic fumes, gases, or vapors when heated, compressed or mixed with water. Ex - Lithium - Sulfur Batteries, unused explosives

Services Provided: Started working with Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We provided both preventative cleanings and confirmed/suspected decontamination cleaning services. These services were performed at West County Detention Facility, Martinez Detention Facility, Marsh Creek Detention Facility, County Jail, Coroner's Division, Forensic Services Division and offices staffed by Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff.

From there we provided deep cleaning services, water extraction and restoration caused by intentional inmate flooding and biohazardous cleaning services. We have successfully cleaned and removed blood, vomit and other bodily waste including fecal matter and urine from the inmate’s detention cells, common areas, transfer stations and patrol vehicles.

Services Provided: We provide a variety of biohazardous cleaning and removal services, as well as full scale homeless encampment abatement services. The majority of the biohazardous cleanings have been human waste from homeless and have been in everything from clear buckets, so disgusted/unsuspecting containers. When the Canal Patrol Officers come across any biohazards, they notify us to assist with the cleaning. Most of the locations where this was discovered are along their many miles of canals. So, we worked very closely with them to allow access, open and closed gates and the Canal Officer’s provide security as needed.

We also partner with them and the City of Antioch to conduct inter-agency encampment abatement services. They have multiple locations where jurisdictional lines are drawn with a chain link fence where one side is Conta Costa Water District, and the other is the City of Antioch. ServiceMaster has a contract with both agencies and after learning of these specific hot spots recommended posting notices to vacate be done at the same time as an attempt to mitigate the chances the people won’t jump cross under/over and through the fence to the other agencies side and then come right back when the work is done.

ServiceMaster obtained permission from both agencies to notify the other agency when a planned abatement project is scheduled. We have already seen in a short period; the size and

Services Provided: Since 2021, ServiceMaster has been providing routine 2X’s a week cleaning at the city’s temporary “open air shelter”. This has been a very interesting approach by a city to try and minimize the encampments throughout the city. They provide a designated safe area where the people can bring their belongings in to safely sleep/live.

They contract ServiceMaster to clean 2X’s a week the common areas, protopodites, eating area and surrounding zones on the other side of the wooden fence where trash/debris/biohazards are discarded. We also provide emergency services for anything biohazardous and human waste is found on an as needed basis. The majority of the biohazardous waste is fecal matter and urine being discarded in the wrong area, as well as drug paraphernalia.

This is another example where ServiceMaster crews utilize their training and empathy to treat the people with respect and dignity. The crew that provides the routine cleanings knows them all and addresses them by name. Since we have started the routine cleanings, the city has seen a decrease in large encampments throughout the city and the number of instances where the police have to get involved diminish as well.

f) Project Approach to Delivering Services
ServiceMaster is properly licensed, trained, and qualified to safely handle and remove any biohazardous waste. ServiceMaster crews understand the importance of handling and disposing of biohazardous and/ or hazardous waste following all appropriate laws and regulations. It is extremely important to separate out any combustible liquid/container such as gasoline and propane tanks, motor oil, paint, lead and asbestos materials, chemicals, and corrosive materials, etc. to ensure they are not disposed of with other nonhazardous waste. Regulatory Guidelines- ServiceMaster is well versed and aligned with the established guidelines of the following agencies:
• Centersfor Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Sharjo, LLC
dba ServiceMaster Restoration Services
195 Mason Circle
Concord, CA 94520
Since we have our Hazardous Waste Transporter Registration Certificate, we can legally transport the biohazardous waste to a disposal facility to be disposed of following all applicable laws and regulations.

We are aware of permits required by the Army Corp of Engineers, State of California, and/or Contra Costa County and how to obtain them. Additionally, we are trained in how to complete the CA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest required in transporting hazardous waste.

Communication is KEY
When emergency crime scene and biohazardous cleaning services are needed there is no time to waste and important steps need to take place to successfully conduct these types of services. ServiceMaster has already trained, licensed, prepared and equipped our work force for these types of jobs well before we get the request for service from a client. Successful preparation, excellent communication and a large work force allow us to respond easily within the four-hour window for any City of Richmond's Police Department requests for service 24/7/365.

Request for Service
The City of Richmond's Police Department will be provided our 24/7/365 call center and direct cell phone and emails for all the key players. Both our call center and key players are well versed is dealing with police dispatch centers. Our team will gather all the required information from the dispatch center and relay instructions in real time to our team responding. It is vital for both parties to have all the necessary contact information of the other party.

Responding to the Requests
All of ServiceMaster's extensive training and preparation shine through when we get these calls for service. Our professionalism is apparent when responding to situations where we have to interact with the public, the officers, the cornier, the city representatives, etc. Our team knows how to conduct their job in a respectful, safe and efficient manner. They are trained to direct any communication/questions/ concern to the dedicated officer/city representative. We arrive promptly, clean and remove all physical hazards as well as biohazards while following all laws and regulations, and leave the area in a sanitized, clean and safe for the public/officer/city. Then we transport all physical hazards as well as biohazards for immediate disposal, while following all laws and regulations.

Docusign Envelope ID: 3EEA7ECC-E421-4753-AFAF-0B10C8CDE0EB 1341
g) Quality Control Measures
ServiceMaster understands the importance of ensuring we will provide the City of Richmond’s Police Department with the high quality of services required to successfully conduct these types of cleaning services on a routine as well as an emergency basis. Biohazardous and crime scene cleaning services, by nature, are dangerous. We fully understand the importance of selecting a vendor that not only can do the work but will do so without issues throughout the life of the agreement. ServiceMaster will implement quality control measures that protect our own people, the public and the City of Richmond’s Police Department.

Quality control measures start at the company level: ServiceMaster is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. We hire a diverse workforce at all levels and take pride in our ability to train and promote from within our company.

On the management side, we go out of our way to recognize employees that truly embody this mentality and display it at work. Including, but not limited to formal recognitions/awards all the way up to promotions and bonuses. By doing everything we can from a managerial side to provide trainings and foster a safe and respectful company culture for our own employees, it also empowers our employees to bring this same mentality with them to the job sites when interacting with the public and city representatives.

If any team member finds this type of work beyond what they can emotionally sustain, they will not be asked or required to perform such work. If team members experience any psychological issues after performing this type of work, the company will offer them professional help in understanding and dealing with their experiences.

ServiceMaster will never make our employees perform job tasks and/or work in situations that they are not fully comfortable and capable of working in. We fully understand that sometimes these trauma and biohazardous cleaning situations are not the right fit for some people. We will never discipline individuals that feel this way. Instead, we empower our staff to voice any/all concerns. That way, we can find the right type of work for them. This also helps us ensure that each person we put on these types of cleaning is the right fit for the job.

Quality control measures on the public interactions level: When performing trauma scene cleanups, team members might meet or interact with surviving family member(s). The sudden loss of a family member is one of the most traumatic events that a person can experience.

Then, at such a disturbing and stressful moment, to have a total stranger come onto the scene to perform cleanup work before the family’s real grieving process has begun makes for a difficult situation. Our team members may need to discuss business matters with an appropriate family member before work can commence. The following are best practices to follow when interacting with grieving family members:

Sharjo, LLC

195 Mason Circle
Concord, CA 94520

Docusign Envelope ID: 3EEA7ECC-E421-4753-AFAF-0B10C8CDE0EB 1342
• Have one person be the point of contact who handles all communication with anyone outside the working team.
• Help those affected regain a sense of control of their situation. • Explain in as much detail as needed the cleanup steps to be taken and how long the process will take. Do not be graphic when providing details of the clean-up process. • Leave the customer with contact phone numbers as well as other pertinent documentation.

The following are practices to avoid while interacting with grieving family members:
• Do not ask questions about what happened that do not pertain to getting the info necessary to assess and remediate the loss site
o Should the client wish to recount the story, use active listening skills and have empathy to the situation
• Do not engage in any inappropriate conversation
• Do not make any definitive statements concerning the event Empathy and understanding of the situation and the emotions that are being felt is mandatory, and this requires a level of compassion and real sensitivity. The lead technician should receive training from a professional in the field of psychology who can explain what the family members are experiencing and how to work with them both to get the cleanup job completed and to be minimally intrusive into their lives during this time of distress.

It should go without saying, but everything that occurs at a trauma scene site is confidential.

Nothing should ever appear on social media in any form about what was seen, said or performed as work. Furthermore, all photographs of the scene taken before, during and after cleanup must remain strictly confidential. All photos and documentation must be on company issued devices and not on personal phones.

Quality control measures at the jobsite: Post cleaning testing is conducted utilizing ATP (adenosine triphosphate) – A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes. Swab testing results in a reading or RLU, Relative Light Units. This refractive measurement indicates the presence or absence of biological matter. As a post cleaning test RLU of 0 is desired.

g) Continued- Reporting Mechanisms
Work Orders & Authorizations
From the start of a job to completion of work, ServiceMaster will provide the City of Richmond's Police Department with a dedicated administrative team. This team will be responsible for making sure all documentation, certifications, work orders, work authorizations and requests for orders are issued to the correct parties. They will be available to provide you with any documentation needed while a job is underway.

Completion of the Biohazardous Cleaning Project & Invoicing Packet:

At the end of every biohazardous cleaning project, ServiceMaster will notify the City of Richmond's Police Department of its completion and provide an invoicing packet as early as one week of job completion, but never longer than 30 days. Whichever the preferred delivery time frame of the City of Richmond's Police Department, we can easily accommodate. The invoice packets will include the projects type of debris removed, labor, materials and equipment used, before and after highdefinition pictures, biohazard/hazmat encountered, disposal costs, summary of agencies involved, and any other information that should be related to the city. The invoice packets will be supplied as per contract requirements and in the client’s preferred delivery method.

Monthly/Quarterly reports will be tracked and presented by Andy Dobbs, National Account Manager.

These reports can be a running spreadsheet. Each report will include all the specific and important information for each cleaning category. Including, but not limited to number of sites cleaned during that month/quarter, dates, locations (squad cars, holding cells, facilities, crime scenes), type of cleanings (routine, emergency, disinfecting, crime scene, biohazardous) total amount of waste removed, specific types of waste removed (routine trash, biohazardous waste, drug paraphernalia etc.) amount of marijuana disposed of and total costs per quarter for each category and/or anything else the City of Richmond's Police Department would like.

These reports can be easily customized to meet any specific requirements of the and/or anything else the City of Richmond's Police Department would like.

Follow up
We understand the importance of our clients and maintaining strong, long-term partnerships. To achieve this, we listen to what is important to them both in the overall partnership and within each project. We clearly communicate the scope of work needed on each project, update them as work is being done, let them know if there are uncovered challenges, do everything we stated we would do, and follow up after completion to make sure they are satisfied. At the completion of every job, we have a Certificate of Satisfaction document sent to the client. Additionally, every client is asked to complete an NPS survey and track the results so we can modify our training and processes if needed.

If at any time a client feels we did not meet their expectations, we discuss the issues, determine a resolution, and correct the issue.

In addition to the more detailed explanation provided in section c) p.21-29, ServiceMaster takes pride in our immaculate safety record while working on biohazardous projects. We have the training, experience, and professionalism to protect our own employees, the public and the public entity we are contracting.

ServiceMaster Restoration Services has a full-time Safety Manager that presents safety training to each employee as part of their on-boarding and continues it throughout their employment tenure with our company. Every morning starts with a safety meeting. Additionally, every employee that is working on an abatement project is required to wear all appropriate PPE and any other equipment needed to safely perform their task.

Our standard safety programs:

ServiceMaster will make any and all training records, licenses, and certifications available to the City of Richmond's Police Department. When you partner with ServiceMaster, you partner with a vendor that takes safety seriously!
Bloodborne Pathogen Safety Procedure and Training
Our bloodborne pathogen exposure plan is compliant with Federal and CalOSHA standards. The plan discusses the job titles and work tasks that would be potentially exposed to bloodborne pathogens. Our plan outlines the engineered controls, work practices and PPE necessary to protect our team from exposure. In the case of an exposure, the plan dictates the necessary response steps per OSHA and CalOSHA standards.

Training is done for new hires and all ServiceMaster Operations employees annually.

Cleaning Chemicals and Cleaning Agents
We care about preserving our planet and the safety of all that reside therein. Each of our branches has active recycling programs and energy saving equipment, heating, and lighting systems. Support employees can work remotely lowering their gas emissions. Lastly, our proprietary cleaning and disinfection products are eco-friendly. We would not and will not ever use any banned chemicals or cleaning agents as defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We will happily provide our SDS sheets, when needed.

Docusign Envelope ID: 3EEA7ECC-E421-4753-AFAF-0B10C8CDE0EB 1345
a) Cleaning and Biohazard Cleaning Services
Over the years ServiceMaster has seen most of the biohazardous waste and crime scene cleanup can be properly conducted with a crew of two to three. While a skilled set of a couple technicians with one vehicle with all the needed materials, tools, PPE, etc. should be able to accommodate a large number of these requests for services, ServiceMaster wanted to include our full prevailing wage price sheet (see. p. 54-59) in addition, for your review.

Labor Rates: The below labor rates include all health, dental, vision, paid vacations, and 401K options, overhead and profit and will be the total labor costs the City of Richmond's Police Department.

Restoration Technician= $125 an hour, per Tech or $187.50 an hour, per Tech (OT/Weekend) o The Restoration Technicians will be responsible for doing any cleaning requests of us.

Project Manager= $135 an hour, per Project Manager
o Responsible for supporting the Technicians in the field with everything needed to safely and efficiently conduct the cleanings. Would be brought in on any larger, or challenging cleaning projects.

Admin. Asst./Clerical= $47 an hour, per Admin. Asst./Clerical o An average of one hour total needed per cleaning project.

National Account Manager= $0 charge to the City of Richmond's Police Department. Andy Dobbs will serve as the main point of contact for the City of Richmond's Police Department. Even though there is not going to be a charge for his time, he will also commit to managing the contract, be available to receive new job requests, provide updates on job progress, communicate any issues, and ensure accurate billing invoice packets are sent to the client.

Andy will also be available to attend any monthly/quarterly meetings needed. At these monthly/ quarterly meetings he will present a report on all request for services from the previous term, the cost, and any other information the client would like. These reports are easily customized to meet any contract and client preferences.

Branch Manager, Regional Manager, or Chief Operating Officer= $0. the City of Richmond's Police Department will not incur a charge for any time spent on a project from these roles.

Administrative Costs: We provided the cost for any possible charge that is separate from the labor rates. Further explanation is needed because not all of these will be charged each day and will vary based on the size and severity of a specific job. If there is a large biohazardous cleaning job that would require a large labor force/more labor hours and would as well require more materials, equipment and amount of disposal charges in comparison to smaller jobs, so we hope this explanation helps add further clarification.

Materials & Equipment
Bags, 6 mil, Black= $109 for a roll of 75 bags. These are used to bag/transport nonhazardous waste. The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the amount used for the day and would be reflected in the invoice packet.

Tyvek suits with hood and boot= $14 per pair, per technician. The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the amount used for the day and would be reflected in the invoice packet.

Full Face Respirator Mask= $22.50 each. One per technician per day, in general.

Respirator P-100 Pancake Filter= $25 each.

Gloves, Latex Disposal= $37.50 for a box of 100. The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the amount used for the day and would be reflected in the invoice packet.

Gloves, Leather= $13 per pair. Our technicians are instructed to treat these as their own and attempt to use them as long as possible, if they are able to be safely cleaned.

Duct Tape= $8 per roll. The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the amount used for the day and would be reflected in the invoice packet.

Vehicles (Box Truck, Hydraulic Demo Truck, Van- Cargo/Passenger and Field/Supervisor ½ Ton Truck) The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the rate per hour used per vehicle and that charge would be reflected in the invoice packet.

To add a little more clarity on the vehicles, here are the most common ways they are used for this type of work: Smaller jobs that only need two technicians would only need one vehicle. As the jobs increase in size and severity, where more labor force is required so would the need for additional vehicles. We will perform best practices and use only the required vehicles for the day/specific job.

Hazardous Material Disposal= $250 for a 55-Gallon Drum.

Disposal Charge (Non-Hazardous)= Disposal cost plus 20%. The City of Richmond's Police Department would only be charged the daily disposal used for the day and our invoice packet would also include the actual dump receipt as proof of accurate charge to the client.

Small Tools Charge= 3% of the total labor charge each day.

Restoration Technician= $125 an hour (Monday- Friday 7am-5pm) Restoration Technician= $187.50 an hour (5pm-7am and weekends) Project Manager= $135 an hour (Monday- Friday 7am-5pm)
Project Manager= $202.50 an hour (5pm-7am and weekends) • All material, equipment, tools and/or any additional fees will not be impacted by the time/day of the requested services.
• ServiceMaster is an emergency response restoration vendor. We fully understand the importance of being able to respond to requests for services immediately. Our general response time upon first notification of a loss/request for services is 1-3 hours. We can 100% guarantee our response times will be within, or sooner than the City of Richmond Police Department’s 4-hour maximum response time.

While our Concord branch will be mainly responding to any new, or emergency cleaning services request and will have no issues being on-site within the 4-hour maximum response time but should there be a reason this branch cannot get there in time, we can deploy from multiple other branches (Benicia, Santa Rosa or Milpitas). No matter what ServiceMaster will be able to respond 24/4/365 and be on-site within 4-hours. • ServiceMaster will not be charging an additional fee for emergency response services.

ServiceMaster has provided these services for many public entities in the Bay Area, and we are committed to the long-term type of partnership as well. We are more than happy to customize our labor force, materials, and equipment to fit your exact needs. If our rates and how we provided the additional explanation does not conform to your already existing model, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to discuss with the City of Richmond's Police Department representative so we can get a better understanding what you are exactly looking for and come back to you with any alterations you would like.

REPORT

November 19, 2024
DISCUSSION:

On March 12, 2024, the Community Services Department, Recreation Division received an application to donate and dedicate a new memorial bench in honor of Pia Angela Göktürk (Attachment 1). The application was forwarded to the Public Works Department, Parks and Landscaping Division for review. City staff provided the requestor with the standard bench model for memorial bench donations in the Marina Bay Landscaping and Lighting District and approved the proposed bench location (Attachment 2).

At the regular meeting of the Marina Bay Landscaping and Lighting District Board on June 27, 2024, the Board approved donation of the memorial bench dedicated to Pia Angela Göktürk (Attachment 3).

The next steps involve approval from the Recreation and Parks Commission and subsequently from the City Council. However, meetings of the Recreation and Parks Commission were canceled in July, August, September, and October due to a lack of quorum. Following guidance from the City Attorney’s Office, the request is now being submitted directly to the City Council for approval.

The proposed location for the memorial bench is on the Bay Trail, near Barbara and Jay Vincent Park, facing the water (Attachment 4). Approval from the City Council is required prior to the donation and installation of the bench.

Background
Deniz Göktürk, daughter of Pia Angela Göktürk, wishes to donate a memorial bench dedicated to Pia to honor her love for water views. Deniz shares the following information about her late mother and the donation request:

My mother Pia Angela Göktürk passed on March 9, 2020, at the age of 92. She spent the last 8 years of her life with us in El Cerrito, and, at the very end, San Pablo.

The shores of the East Bay were her favorite places to visit, even when she was wheelchair bound, especially Point Richmond and the area around Richmond Marina / Shimada Friendship Park / Rosie the Riveter. Water views always had a special place in her life – in Konstanz, Germany, where she was born in 1927 near the lake of Konstanz and the river Rhein, and Istanbul, Turkey, where she lived and taught for over fifty years, overlooking the waters of the Bosporus. Therefore, we believe she would be best remembered with a memorial bench by the water.

For more information about her, see my essay:
https://transit.berkeley.edu/2022/creative-remembrance-in-traveling-archivesgokturk-transit/ 1368

November 19, 2024
Upon approval from the City Council, the donor will purchase the bench and plaque directly from the vendor. The vendor will ship the bench and plaque to the Parks and Landscaping Division for installation. The donation is valued at approximately $1,500.

The memorial bench will include a plaque that reads:

Pia Angela Göktürk (Lorenzi)
30 Sep 1927 – 9 Mar 2020
Water views remembered…

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The Main Library Project was initially estimated to cost approximately $30 million. However, cost estimates
developed during the programming and design phases
have exceeded this initial figure. To fund essential
building improvements, the project now requires an
additional $4.1 million in funding.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT a resolution to appropriate $4,100,000 from the General Fund to the General Capital Fund to the
Revitalizing the Historic Main Library Project – Public Works (Daniel Chavarria 510-620-5478/Wendy Wellbrock

DISCUSSION:

Summary
The Main Library Project, initiated in 2022 with multiple funding sources and an original estimate of approximately $30 million, now faces a $4.1 million funding gap due to higher-than-anticipated costs identified during the design phase. City staff requests an additional appropriation from the General Fund to cover the anticipated funding shortfall in the project.

Background
The Richmond Main Library building opened in 1949 as part of the historic Richmond Civic Center. The building was not included in the 2009 renovation of other Civic Center facilities, and instead pursued statewide library construction funding for a new library building through Proposition 81. Proposition 81 failed to pass and no statewide funds were available to fund much-needed improvements at the Main Library. Since then, significant deferred maintenance of the Main Library has resulted in missing floor tiles, fraying carpet, non-functioning single-pane windows, an inadequate electrical system, and unhealthy interior air quality during adverse air quality events.

In October 2022 the California State Library awarded a $9.7 million grant to the City of Richmond. The City of Richmond appropriated 50 percent matching funds to create an almost $15 million budget to address critical life-safety and maintenance issues in the historic Main Library.

The City staff is committed to improving the Main Library so that it remains the jewel that it was when it was originally constructed. This includes the repair and upgrading of building systems and structures, many of which have not been improved since the building was constructed in 1949. The proposed project, initially conceived with an estimated cost of approximately $30 million, includes funding to enhance the library’s accessibility, sustainability, and safety. At the time of the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) adoption, the project faced an estimated $15 million funding shortfall.

In May 2023 the City Council appropriated an additional $15 million to create opportunities for further renovations of the Main Library building.

The proposed work includes but is not limited to:
 Upgrading of public and staff restrooms to make them ADA accessible  Replacement of acoustical ceilings to reduce noise
 Installing improved lighting and controls throughout the building  Replacing asbestos-containing floor tiles with new resilient flooring  Replacement of the existing electrical power system
1380

November 19, 2024
 Installation of a new HVAC system; installation of a new fire alarm and sprinkler system
 Providing safety and accessibility improvements to the library entrance  Replacement of the existing staff-only elevator with a new ADA compliant elevator accessible to the public
 Replacement of existing windows throughout the building with new energyefficient windows  Seismic upgrades to increase the safety of the building in an earthquake.

The approximately $30 million project is currently funded through a combination of a State Grant, American Rescue Plan Act funds, General Capital Fund, and Developer Impact Fees, as shown in the table below.

Funding Source Amount
State Grant 9,712,979
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) 2,258,113
General Capital Fund 16,898,377
Developer Impact Fee Fund 1,064,188
Total 29,933,657
Additional Appropriation Request
Between October 2023 and June 2024, cost estimates for the design plans exceeded the available funding. Addressing additional structural and system issues within the building is estimated to cost approximately $4.1 million. This additional funding will cover the following improvements:
 Replacing the roof - the roof is 15 years old and leaks. A major renovation to the building without replacing a roof that is nearing its lifespan may be a disservice to the community and not recommended for a long-term solution.  Replacing the photovoltaic system (solar panels) - the panels are not working properly and need to be replaced.
 Upgrading the generator - the current generator cannot power the Library building during power outages due to capacity limitation and requires upsizing to meet the Library electricity needs and support the building as a resiliency center.  New trash enclosure - building a dedicated trash enclosure will help with keeping the facility clean. Currently there is no trash closure for the building.  Water proofing in the basement - the Library has a tunnel/crawl space around the perimeter of the building which connects to a central basement location under the building. Improving the water proofing system will mitigate and prevent water damage.
1381

November 19, 2024
 Exterior Cleaning and Patchwork – gentle cleaning methods and techniques will prevent damage to the historic building and improve the overall finish look of the project.

City staff believes that the additional funding for the project will help deliver a modern, structurally durable, and environmentally sustainable Library building to the community.

Next Steps
The Main Library Project is planned to go in construction phase in the summer of 2025 and completion is expected around the spring of 2027. Library operations will be relocated to a temporary facility during the construction phase. Staff will continue to provide updates to the City Council as the project moves forward.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The current streetlights within the City of Richmond are LED light fixtures attached to twenty-five and thirty-foot poles. Streetlights are maintained by City electrical staff.

Maintenance is provided by staff from requests submitted by residents due to lighting being out or other issues. At present, there are currently over 11,000 streetlights operated throughout the City. Of this number, there are over 200 streetlights within the city that are inactive (not working) due to vandalism of wire.

Maintenance of streetlights which fall victim of wire theft/vandalism is costing the City thousands of dollars each year. For each vandalized streetlight, the City spends an amount from $5,000 to $10,000 for repair costs which include labor and materials.

Likewise, the time that a city electrical staff spends on vandalism repair reduces the amount of time and resources necessary for other City maintenance issues. Moreover, the City also uses external electrical contractors to aid in streetlight vandalism repairs when the maintenance work required by specific situations cannot be handled by City electrical staff for either being too complex or when manpower is limited. The use of outside contractors is more costly than using internal electrical staff.

Analysis
It is in line with the issue on the maintenance of streetlights that the Public Works Department intends to put up a solar lighting project in the City of Richmond. Solar lighting systems are independent of the electrical grid and do not require wiring. This eliminates the primary targets for theft, significantly reducing the risk of vandalism and associated costs. Solar lights can be installed in areas that may lack accessible power sources, such as parks, remote locations, or areas prone to wire thefts.

Choosing a solar lighting solution in areas vulnerable to wire theft and vandalism presents a practical and effective approach for the City. The elimination of wiring minimizes the risk of wire thefts, reduces maintenance costs, enhances safety and provides flexibility in installation. Furthermore, the community and environmental benefits align with modern urban development goals, making solar lighting not only a secure choice but also a forward-thinking solution for public illumination. In this regard, the City is intent on securing a solar streetlight manufacturer. 1386

November 19, 2024
Rather than initiating a new procurement process, City of Richmond is proposing to utilize a piggyback procurement method, which is permitted under California Public Contract Code Section 20118 and Richmond Municipal Code section 2.52.330.

Piggyback procurement allows one public agency to leverage an existing competitively bid contract from another agency, provided that the procurement process complied with all applicable laws, and the services being procured are substantially similar to the services already covered in the existing contract. This method helps reduce costs, streamline the procurement process, and expedite service delivery while ensuring competitive pricing and compliance with public procurement requirements.

The League of Oregon Cities/NPPGov has a Master Price Agreement with Fonroche Lighting America dated February 28, 2024. By piggybacking on The League of Oregon Cities’ agreement/contract with Fonroche Lighting America, Richmond can efficiently secure the necessary services without a new competitive bidding process.

As noted above, this contract is in compliance with the Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.330 Piggyback procurement which allows for a “piggyback” purchase using another agency’s purchase contract if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the City of Richmond.

Conclusion
Therefore, staff requests that the City Council adopt the resolution to award a three-year contract with Fonroche Lighting America beginning on November 25, 2024 and ending on November 24, 2027, with two optional one-year extensions in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 for the three-year contract and an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for the duration of the two optional one-year extensions with the City Manager’s approval.

Contractor, at its sole expense, shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Contract, all appropriate permits, certificates and licenses, including a City business license, required in connection with the performance of the services and tasks hereunder.

SANCTUARY CITY COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The undersigned, (hereafter "Contractor"), has had an opportunity to review the requirements of City of Richmond Ordinance 12-18 (hereafter "Sanctuary City Contracting Ordinance" or “SCCO”).

Contractor understands and agrees that the City may choose with whom it will maintain business relations and may refrain from contracting with any person or entity that provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division of the United States Department of Homeland Security (“ICE”). Contractor understands the meaning of the following terms used in the SCCO:
a. "Data Broker” means either of the following:
i. The collection of information, including personal information about consumers, from a wide variety of sources for the purposes of reselling such information to their customers, which include both private-sector business and government agencies;
ii. The aggregation of data that was collected for another purpose from that for which it is ultimately used.
b. “Extreme Vetting” means data mining, threat modeling, predictive risk analysis, or other similar services."
Contractor understands that it is not eligible to receive or retain a City contract if at the time the Contract is executed, or at any time during the term of the Contract, it provides Data Broker or Extreme Vetting services to ICE.

Contractor further understands and agrees that Contractor's failure to comply with the SCCO shall constitute a material default of the Contract and the City Manager may terminate the Contract and bar Contractor from bidding on future contracts with the City for five (5) years from the effective date of the contract termination.

By executing this statement, Contractor certifies that it complies with the requirements of the SCCO and that if at any time during the term of the Contract it ceases to comply, Contractor will promptly notify the City Manager in writing. Any person or entity who knowingly or willingly supplies false information in violation of the SCCO shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a $1,000 fine.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned declares under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

STATEMENT OF THE
ISSUE:

The West County Agency (WCA), responsible for
biosolids processing at the City of Richmond's
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), is dissolving by the end of 2024. To ensure the continuation of operations at the WWTP, the City must continue having access to the
sludge ponds currently leased from West County
Wastewater (WCW). Staff is requesting City Council
approval of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with WCW to be
signed by the City Manager to continue leasing the
sludge ponds through 2025, ensuring uninterrupted

biosolids processing until the new biosolids facility is in operation and the lease terms for use of the new facility are negotiated.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: AUTHORIZE the City Manager to sign the Letter of Intent (LOI) with West County Wastewater (WCW) to continue
leasing the sludge ponds in 2025, ensuring continued
biosolids processing at the City's wastewater treatment plant following the dissolution of the West County Agency – Public Works (Robert Armijo 620-5477/Daniel
Chavarria 620-4778)
The West County Agency (WCA), a joint powers authority formed between West County Wastewater (WCW) and the City of Richmond (City), manages several critical operations shared between the two entities. These responsibilities include the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting and operation of the joint outfall, the Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) facilities, biosolids handling, and other key services.

Sludge, the solid byproduct of the wastewater treatment process, includes materials that remain after the entire treatment cycle, which includes primary clarification, biological digestion, and tertiary treatment. In Richmond's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), which uses standard tertiary treatment, sludge is generated after the removal of debris, sediment, and dissolved substances, followed by biological treatment and final clarification. This sludge requires further processing to stabilize it and reduce its volume before it can be safely disposed of or reused. Currently, the final-stage sludge is transported to WCW’s sludge ponds for drying and additional treatment.

Historically, the sludge ponds, located at WCW's East Site, have been critical for the City’s biosolids management, as they allow for the sludge to be processed into a form that meets environmental standards for disposal or reuse. Without these ponds, the City would not have the necessary infrastructure to handle the final-stage treatment of sludge, which is a vital step in the overall wastewater treatment process.

The City currently has a lease agreement with WCW which allows the City to pump the biosolids generated at Richmond’s Wastewater Treatment Plant to WCW sludge ponds (Attachment 3).

WCW issued a Lease Termination Notice to the City on August 28, 2023, informing the City the ponds would no longer be available to the City after December 31, 2024 (Attachment 4). The City’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) lacks facilities to process final-stage sludge independently. If the City fails to process sludge properly, it risks non-compliance with environmental regulations, which could lead to fines, penalties, or disruptions to wastewater services.
1430

November 19, 2024
WCW is building a new biosolids treatment facility at their wastewater treatment plant.

This new facility, once complete, will have the capacity to treat both WCW’s and the City’s biosolids (aka sludge) to a Class A standard, meaning the sludge will be treated to the highest level, suitable for reuse in agricultural and other applications. However, the facility is not expected to be operational by the end of 2024, necessitating an interim solution to avoid potential disruptions in the City's wastewater treatment operations.

WCW has proposed extending the current lease until such time as the new biosolids treatment facility is fully operational.

The Letter of Intent (LOI) being presented to the City Council, between the City and WCW, serves to memorialize the parties intention to extend the lease term for City’s use of the sludge ponds and for the City to eventually enter into an Operating Agreement with WCW for the treatment of the City’s biosolids as soon as the facility is online and operational (Attachment 2). While the LOI does not finalize the terms of the Operating Agreement, it informs WCW of the City’s good-faith intentions. This step is crucial to maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and avoiding any interruption in wastewater treatment services.

Approval of the LOI will confirm the City’s commitment to addressing its biosolids processing needs and provide an important step toward ensuring continued WWTP operations after the dissolution of the WCA.

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the LOI with WCW (Attachment 1). This interim action will allow time for both parties to negotiate and finalize the Operating Agreements for the treatment of the City’s biosolids (sludge) and will ensure the City's access to the sludge ponds in 2025. Without this commitment, the City risks a lapse in biosolids processing capacity, which could have serious operational and regulatory consequences for the WWTP.

Re: Letter of Intent in response to Lease Termination Notice Dear Mr. Clough:

As you know, in August 2023 the City received the letter submitted by West County Wastewater on August 28, 2023, stating that the City of Richmond’s (the City’s) lease agreement for the Sludge Ponds (“Lease Agreement”) would be terminated effective December 31, 2024.

The City has been participating in several meetings with West County Wastewater staff and this matter has been discussed at length. It was noted at one of these meetings that West County Wastewater’s new biosolids treatment facility will have the ability/capacity to treat the City’s biosolids that would have been previously sent to the Sludge Ponds.

City staff and West County Wastewater’s staff continue to discuss the terms that would govern the treatment of the City’s biosolids in the new treatment facility.

As you are aware, the City has partnered with West County Wastewater regarding the cost analysis for some of the agreements that will be negotiated as both Districts continue with the dissolution of the West County Agency.

One of the agreements that would need to be negotiated as part of these agreements is the treatment of the City’s Biosolids. Staff has also been informed at recent West County Agency meetings that the Biosolids Treatment Facility may not be capable of treating the City’s biosolids by December 31, 2024.

Accordingly, the City accepts West County Wastewater offer to extend the term of the Lease Agreement beginning on January 1, 2025 on a month-to-month basis to allow the City to continue using the Sludge Ponds in accordance with the terms of the Lease Agreement. It is anticipated that such use shall continue until the West County’s biosolids treatment facility is operational and can adequately treat the City’s sludge. City and West County Wastewater acknowledge and agree that the Lease Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.

AGENDA
REPORT
1449

November 19, 2024
DISCUSSION:

Background
In February 2019, Caltrans was issued a Cease-and-Desist Order from the State Water Resources Control Board for failure to effectively manage trash. As such, Caltrans provided funding to the City of Richmond in the form of Cooperative Implementation Agreements (CIAs) or “grants” to engineer, construct and install several large trash capture devices in the City’s stormwater collection system. These devices collect trash that is discarded and/or dumped into the city’s collection system, which is trapped and then removed preventing the trash from being discharged into the San Francisco Bay.

Likewise, Section C.10 of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for Stormwater mandates trash management states that the City must comply annually by reporting how much trash is removed from the stormwater collection system by means of trash removal devices, illegal dumping that is cleaned up, monthly neighborhood dumpster days, etc.

In 2004, the Richmond City Council adopted Amendment #1 to the Agreement with Veolia Water North America (previously U.S. Filter) to include the operation and maintenance of the sanitary and storm sewer collection system (Attachment 2). On March 1, 2026, City Council adopted Amendment #4 to the Agreement with Veolia Water North America which included several updates including operation and maintenance of two (2) large trash capture device units: one located in the Hilltop area, and one (1) located at 7th Street (Attachment 3).

Due to the mandates in the City’s Stormwater NPDES permit, the other large trash capture devices must also be maintained. This can be accomplished by issuing Task Authorizations with Veolia Water North America to operate, clean and maintain the devices and the perform the required repairs to the stormwater infrastructure. This is not to be a continuous agreement or contract. These Task Authorizations are only for work to be performed during the remainder of FY 2024-25.

At present, there are four (4) additional large capture devices that have been installed in the City’s stormwater collection system for a total of six (6) units. They are currently at the following locations:
 Hilltop (Veolia maintains per Amendment 4 to the Agreement)  7
th Street (Veolia maintains per Amendment 4 to the Agreement)  Bayview Ave. & Carlson Blvd. (no maintenance agreement in place) 1450

November 19, 2024
 Regatta Blvd. & Marina Bay Pkwy (no maintenance agreement in place)  Cutting Blvd. & South 3rd St. (no maintenance agreement in place)  South 8th St. & Potrero Ave. (no maintenance agreement in place) Analysis
The Stormwater Enterprise budget is severely lacking in funding, as the rates have not been increased in over twenty years. Therefore, City staff has reviewed the requirements of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), codified at 42 USC § 801 and implemented through regulations adopted at 31 CFR § 35, and is of the opinion that the operation/maintenance of the four additional large capture devices would qualify for ARPA funding.

Specifically, the following locations require attention for stormwater maintenance and/or repairs:

As previously mentioned, Amendment 4 to the Agreement the City has with Veolia Water North America only addresses the operation and maintenance of two (2) of the six (6) trash capture devices.

If City Council does not approve the proposed Task Authorizations with Veolia, the City will be non-compliant with the City ‘s NPDES permit and could possibly face enforcement actions or financial penalties.

The methodology of the turnkey services is described below and generally includes scope deterniination, engineering services for the purpose of soliciting quotations from contractors, the solicitation of quatations from pre-qualified, invited, sub-contractors, execution of the construction work, and construction and project management and inspection.

3.2 Exhibit A is a pre1iminm-y CP broadly showing how the City couId invest the remaining $22 nillion of the 1999 sewer revenue bonds, including those funds previously obligated by the City for the program described in Exhibit B. This is an 1461
09/29/2004 WED 14:02 FAX
estimate for allocation purposes and depending on the needs of each specific defined project, funds can be moved from one line item to another to meet the needs of the City.

As soon as possible, but not later than sixty days aC1er the effective date of this Amendment, Company will evaluate the CoIIeaion System capital projects already identified by the City and will provide a budget level project mst estimate along with firm pricing for engineering services with the intent of preparing detailed scope documents and drawings to solicit contractor pricing. The next step will be to obtain constru&ion pricing using the prqared documents. Company will work with prequalified sub-contractors by invitation only. Subcontractor selection will be made by Company based on the best overall subcontractor, aficr sub-conkdctm bids are summarized for and reviewed with thc City.

Following the same procedure described in Section 3.2 above, Ccrmpany will conduct engineering design, soli~it quotes fiom sub-contrardors and meet with the City to select the sub-contractor to proceed with the work.

3.6 Within IS months of the commencement date of this Amendment, Company shall complete a comprehensive Capital Tmprovement Plan (CP) for the wastewater collection lines, manholes, sewage lift stations, stormwater pumping stations and rolling slock utilized to maintain these systems. The CP will consist of two parts: (i) those Capital Improvements that have becn identified for funding and completion with the remaining dollar balance of the 1989 sewer revenue bond; and, (ii) any additional Capita1 lrnprovements that should be made farmuIated into a five-year capital plan updated annually and reviewed by the City. -

3.7 Upon completion of the CIP, Company will continue with the recommended and prioritized capital work following the protocoI described in Section 3.2 above until the 1999 Bond Funds are expended. Should additional finding be necessary to complete the recommended and prioritized work, at the City's discretion, Company will work with the City to explore options for additional funding. 1462
09/29/2004 WED 14:02 FAX

3.8 Company has performed a preliminary review of the condition of the 1ifWpumping stations. Most of them require Capital Improvements to bring them up to industry standards. Two need ta be replaced in their entirety. The Company's budget estimate for tl~e required Capital Improvements to the 1iWpumping stations is $3.2 million, which includes installation of emergency generators at each station as needed but excludes the Company's overhead and profit. Within 120 days of commencement: of this Amendment, the Company will complete the due diligence necessary to finalize the scope of work and pri~ing far the above Capital Improvements. Upon approvaI of the final scope of work and pricing by the City, the Company will complete all lift station Capital Improvements within 18 months. The Company will not assume full R&M risk for the lift/pumping stations until the Capital Zmprovements are completed. As the Capital Improvements for each pump station are completed, Company shall assume full R&M risk for the pump station under the Annual Fee subject to the terms of this Amendment.

3.9 The City will retain Company to perform an initial cleaning and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection of the Collection System during the first two years of the Amendment.

3.10 Company will subsequently prepare a Systcm Cleaning Plan for cleaning all parts of the Collection Systcm on a four-year cycle, after the initial cleaning performed during the first two years. Problem areas will be cleaned on an as-needed basis, and hydraulic rodding will be used to clean facilities that are impacted by roots and grease. High pressure cleaning and vacuuming will be the primary preventive maintenance method used Ibr the Sanitary Collection System. The System Cleaning Plan will be updated every thee years in order to incorporate system additions. In additioq data and information from thcse cleaning rneports will be used to identify lines that are in need of capital replacement or rehabilitation.

Company may use an herbicide chemical treatment application for certain types of rout intrusions in sanitary sewer mains.

3.11 Company will use the City's CCTV irispection equipment to perForm inspections of problem areas or to perform routine inspections in the Collection System and to assess the internal condition of the overall wastewater collection lines and other appurtenances on a ten-year cycle after the initial televising performed during the fkst two years.

City Councilmembers

RICHMOND CITY HALL

Richmond, CA 94804
RE: Presentation of Draft Richmond Parkway Transportation Plan Dear Mayor Martinez and Councilmembers:

On behalf of the West Contra Costa Transportation Commission (WCCTC), we are pleased to share with you the Draft Richmond Parkway Transportation Plan (RPTP). Working in partnership with the City of Richmond and Contra Costa County, WCCTC applied for and received a $562,650 transportation planning grant in 2022 from Caltrans to work with the County and City of Richmond to develop a cross-jurisdictional, transportation plan for the Richmond Parkway.

Throughout its development process, the WCCTC Board received regular updates on the progress of the development of the plan. Simultaneously, this planning effort has also utilized a Public Advisory Group (PAG) composed of representatives from community and business organizations, as well as its own Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) composed of staff from a wide range of relevant public agencies. To date, there have also been two public outreach phases to gather public comment. These have included pop-up events, community meetings, online advertising in Spanish and English, e-newsletters, and web-based surveys.

During the first week of November, the draft RPTP, enclosed, will be available on the WCCTC webpage (https://www.westcontracostatc.gov/), and a third and final phase of public outreach will begin. In addition to online advertising, WCCTC staff will provide the PAG, TAC, and WCCTC Board with sample text that contains information about the draft plan and a link to it and an online survey, which can be used in community e-newsletters and websites. Comments on the draft plan may be submitted until approximately November 29, 2024. 1532
The WCCTC Board received a presentation on the Draft RPTP on October 25, 2024 and in the coming months, the plan will be shared directly with the County Board of Supervisor’s Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee, and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) Board. For the Richmond City Council, members of the project team will deliver the PowerPoint presentation attached to this letter.

In January, the Final Draft Plan will return to WCCTC, the County Board of Supervisors and the Richmond City Council for final acceptance.

Should you have any questions about the RPTP, please feel free to contact me at the email address below.

Sincerely,
Leah Greenblat
Transportation Planning Manager, WCCTC

funded via increased bridge
tolls that funds transportation
projects included in the
expenditure plan.

RM3 funds a package of 35 projects and programs, including Richmond Parkway designated funds. In addition, active transportation Parkway projects may be competitive for Safe Routes to Transit and Bay Trail funding pot under RM3; however, that category prioritizes access to rail transit.

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN

ABOUT THIS PLAN
The focus of the plan is a set of
targeted strategies for WCCTC and
partner agencies to advance in the
next 10 years. The strategies were
developed in close collaboration with
project partners, technical advisors,
and members of the public and are
responsive to both the Plan-identified
transportation needs (summarized in
Chapter 2) and feedback received via
public engagement (summarized in
Chapter 3). The strategies (summarized
in Chapter 4) are projects, programs, and
policies that collectively aim to address
the following six goals of the Plan:

IMPROVE SAFETY FOR ALL
USERS

ADVANCE PLACEMAKING

INCREASE ACCESS TO KEY

DESTINATIONS

ENHANCE TRAVEL

TIME RELIABILITY AND

EFFICIENCY

IMPROVE HEALTH

SUPPORT FEASIBLE

Of the full list of strategies, ten are
considered priority strategies for WCCTC
and partner agencies to implement. These
priority strategies best align with the Plan
goals and reflect engagement participant
preferences. The priority strategies are
described in Chapter 5, including the
lead implementation agency, goals
alignment, benefits, and graphics of the
top strategies. Chapter 6 introduces the
implementation time frame and funding
sources for the priority strategies.

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN

THE STUDY AREA
Richmond Parkway is a major road
linking I-80 and I-580 and a primary route
connecting to the the Richmond-San Rafael
Bridge. The Parkway is located in both
the City of Richmond and unincorporated
Contra Costa County (North Richmond),
as shown in Figure 2. Combined with
Castro Street, a parallel roadway at
the southern end of the corridor, the
study corridor is approximately nine
miles in length. At the northeastern
end in the City of Pinole, Richmond
Parkway becomes Fitzgerald Avenue.

It serves many functions of regional and
local importance: a goods movement
(truck and rail) corridor connecting to
the Port of Richmond and local industrial
uses, a regional commuter corridor, a
critical segment of the San Francisco Bay
Trail—a 500-mile long regional walking
and biking path network looping around
San Francisco Bay—and a connector to
the Richmond Parkway Transit Center
served by AC Transit and WestCAT.

Richmond Parkway intersects Wildcat
Creek and is adjacent to several nearby
schools and parks, including Point Pinole
Regional Park. As shown in Figure 3,
industrial land uses line most of the
corridor, particularly along Castro Street
and along the Parkway in North Richmond.

The Parkway also serves residential
areas in Atchison Village, Iron Triangle,
North Richmond, and near Hilltop. As
new industrial and residential growth
continues along the Parkway, this Plan
presents an opportunity to design for
better corridor access and mobility before
existing challenges are exacerbated.

Richmond Parkway and Castro Street
travel through the City of Richmond and
unincorporated Contra Costa County for
A third of the corridor is adjacent to the
Bay Trail.

CORRIDOR COMMUNITIES
Compared to the Contra Costa County
population as a whole, residents living in
the study area tend to have higher rates
of unemployment and lower education
attainment, as seen in Figure 4. The
majority of residents living near the
corridor are Hispanic/Latino, 16% have
limited English proficiency, and nearly
38% are below the federal poverty level
(US Census, ACS 5-Year Estimates, 2019).

Overall, these groups have less access
to opportunities and are at greater
risk of displacement (ESA, 2023; Urban
Displacement Project, 2015). Given that
people living near the study corridor
reflect demographics of historically
underserved populations, most census
tracts within the study area fall within
regionally or federally-defined equity
priority areas, including MTC Equity
Priority Communities, USDOT Historically
Disadvantaged Communities, and USDOT
Areas of Persistent Poverty (Figure 5).

Chapter 3 presents outreach methods
for engaging historically marginalized
populations during the planning process.

This chapter introduces how Richmond Parkway is used today and the wide range of existing challenges for all types of users. On average, 25,000 vehicles use the Parkway every day to reach local destinations, including as a connection between I-580 and I-80 and to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Residents living near the corridor are largely Hispanic/Latino with lower incomes and are exposed to the large volumes of traffic, vehicle emissions, pollution, and noise.

Despite the availability of the Bay Trail, many sections can feel uncomfortable for pedestrians and bicyclists, particularly when crossing the Parkway.

Speeding is a major concern and is the most common collision factor. (Unincorporated Area)

SAFETY FOR ALL ROAD USERS
From 2011 to 2020, there were 322
traffic collisions on the corridor that
resulted in injury, including 46 Killed
and Severe Injury (KSI) collisions. Of
these KSI collisions, 21 resulted in a
severe injury and 25 resulted in a fatality
(Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS), 2011-2020). This is an average of
4-5 KSI collisions per year, and collisions
are increasing—between 2011 and 2017,
there was an average of 3 KSI collisions
per year, however, the average jumped
to 9 between 2018 and 2020 (Figure 6).

There were increases in KSI collisions
involving unsafe speeds, traffic signal
and sign violations, driving under the
influence, and driver violations of the
pedestrian right-of-way. Concentrations
of collisions occur in areas along the
corridor that have higher intersection
density, near railroad crossings, and
at major arterials where there is more
interaction between vehicles and Bay
Trail users. Considering these locations
for redesign can reduce collisions and are
considered in Strategies (Chapter 4).

Unsafe Speeds
Unsafe speed is the most common primary
collision factor making up 45% of all
injury collisions and 28% of KSI collisions.

The next most common factors in KSI
collisions are failure to obey traffic signals
and signs (15%) and driver violations
of the pedestrian right-of-way (15%).

Although the posted speed limit on the
Parkway is typically 45 miles per hour
(mph), most of the corridor sees off-peak
85th percentile speeds over 50 miles per
hour as shown in Figure 7 (Wejo, 2019).

The maximum observed speeds during
this period rise to nearly 80 mph along
the elevated segment of the Parkway
between North Richmond and Hilltop.

Bicyclists and Pedestrians
KSI collision locations are shown in
Figure 8. Although bicycle and pedestrian
collisions represent only 6% of all injury
collisions, they make up 20% of all KSI
collisions and 24% of fatal collisions,
highlighting the safety disparity for more
vulnerable bicyclists and pedestrians
along the corridor. Studies show that
for vulnerable users, collisions have a
higher likelihood of serious injury or
death, particularly at high speeds.

Pablo Avenue.

24%
Nighttime Collisions
While only 32% of all injury collisions
occurred at night, 52% of all KSI
collisions and 75% of pedestrian KSI
collisions occurred in dark conditions.

Although existing street lights were
reported at most of these KSI collision
locations, reducing unsafe speeds and
improving roadway visibility could
address these types of collisions.

BIKING AND WALKING
The Bay Trail is a critical regional path that
generally traverses the Parkway’s west
side from the southern end to Goodrick
Avenue in North Richmond. The Bay Trail
is on the east side of the corridor between
Hensley Street and Gertrude Avenue, and
the City of Richmond has proposed to
realign this section to the west side for
better connectivity. While the existing
Bay Trail connects users to destinations
like Point Pinole, Point Richmond, and
beyond, there are few crossing locations
from the east side and they lack basic
safety enhancements. Many parts of the
Bay Trail along the study corridor are in
need of repair, with cracked and uneven
pavement and overgrown landscaping.

Regular maintenance to remove trash,
debris, and vegetative overgrowth to
maintain the trail and improve user
experience is needed. The Bay Trail also
has limited lighting, wayfinding signage,
and shade, and a narrow or nonexistent
buffer from fast-moving traffic on the
Parkway. Sections in North Richmond,
particularly near the Wildcat Creek
trail crossing, also regularly flood.

The Bay Trail
Poor pavement
quality
Limited shade in hot
conditions
Small buffer between sidewalk and fast traffic Missing sidewalks near more active land uses Lack of trail lighting
Trail gaps force people onto high-stress routes
like Hensley Street
Inconsistent buffer between bike trail and
roadway
No signage indicating
shared-use path
Biking and Walking Experience along the Parkway
Poor pavement quality, gaps, proximity to fast-moving traffic, long infrequent pedestrian crossings, and lack of shade, lighting, signage, and vegetation buffers, make Richmond Parkway unwelcoming to walk or bike on today. There is a range of opportunities to improve the comfort of people using the Bay Trail, bikeways, sidewalks, and crossings. 20 1579

the corridor, there are 2.6 miles of
sidewalk gaps on the west side of the
corridor and 3.4 miles on the east side.

Safety at Intersections
Most intersections are large in size with
curb radii that enable turns at high
speeds and make for long pedestrian
and bicycle crossing distances.

About 70% of the signalized intersections
do not have bicycle detection and 65%
are missing pedestrian countdown timers,
leaving pedestrians unsure of how much
time is left to safely cross the street.

Both bicycle detection and pedestrian
countdown timers are state requirements
per the California Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

These gaps in pedestrian and bikeway
infrastructure along the corridor are
critical to address given safety and
speeding concerns along the corridor.

Closing the Gaps
There are also several gaps in the
bikeway and walkway infrastructure on
the corridor. Figure 10 (previous page)
identifies the existing and proposed
bikeways. There are currently about
three miles of bikeway gaps along the
Parkway where there are no plans for
the Bay Trail and no bicycle facilities
exist. Though there are no active

DRIVING AND GOODS MOVEMENT
Richmond Parkway is a major road linking
I-80 and I-580 and serves industrial truck
traffic, regional commuters, and local
trips. The Parkway carries between 19,000
and 37,000 vehicles every weekday,
with 7% being truck traffic along the
corridor. The share of truck traffic is
consistent with larger arterials in the
area, including San Pablo Avenue. The
heaviest vehicle volumes are seen east
of Lakeside Drive. Many of these trips
serve regional destinations along the
corridor, such as the Contra Costa Landfill,
UPS and Amazon distribution centers,
Whole Foods Market Food Distribution
Center, and the Chevron Refinery. The
corridor experiences slowdowns during
the commute periods, particularly in the
northbound direction in the evening.

Speeds and Signals
Along most of the corridor, signals are
not coordinated. This negatively impacts
air quality and vehicle flow may not be
optimized. Slowdowns are worst in the
northbound direction in the afternoon
with average speeds around 30 mph as
shown in Figure 11 (Wejo, 2019). The
slowest segment is north of the Castro
Street and Richmond Parkway merge
where speeds are less than 25 mph for
nearly a mile. To keep traffic moving,
green times along the Parkway can be
30 seconds longer compared to other
signals in Richmond, which results in more
delay for all users entering or crossing
the Parkway. Travel times are expected to
double in the future, given planned and
anticipated growth along the corridor. On
average, traffic volumes are expected to
grow about 50%-60% by 2040.

Travel Patterns
Drivers typically use the Parkway for trips
that start or end in the study area rather
than as a freeway-to-freeway connector.

In the afternoon peak period, less than a
third of northbound car drivers travel from
the I-580 interchange and get onto I-80
(Streetlight, 2022). This pattern is similar
for daily truck trips.

Over 60% of trucks getting onto the
Parkway from I-80 or I-580 travel to
destinations along the corridor. These
destinations are often sources of regional
economic activity and services, and
include the aforementioned distribution
centers, landfill and recycling yards,
Over
of northbound trucks turn off the
Parkway into North Richmond, most of
which use Hensley Street.
50%
hazardous waste disposal plants, water
reclaim plants, and more. For northbound
trucks that stop along the corridor,
the most popular destinations are in
North Richmond via Parr Boulevard,
Pittsburg Avenue, and Hensley Street,
as shown in Figure 12. Southbound
truck trips are more dispersed, with
21% continuing on to the Port of
Richmond as shown in Figure 13.

PUBLIC HEALTH
Climate
Increasing concentrations of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions are the primary
cause of global warming. This change in
the earth’s climate systems will increase
the severity, frequency, and duration of
climate hazards, including extreme heat,
wildfire, drought, and sea level rise.

Vulnerable populations and
neighborhoods subject to GHG emissions
will be disproportionately affected by
climate change, including people of
color, children, seniors, individuals
with disabilities, households without
access to a vehicle (Contra Costa
County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan,
2018; Fehr and Peers, 2023; ESA,
2023). The burden of pollution can be
visualized through the CalEnviroScreen
tool, as shown in Figure 14. Some census tracts adjacent to Richmond Parkway have diesel
particulate matter concentrations
higher than
of all census tracts in California
78%
Local and regional sources of pollution,
noise, and increasing threat from
climate change hazards affect public
health and environmental quality for
communities along the corridor.

Pollution
Diesel particulate matter (diesel PM),
is a carcinogenic air contaminant
produced by the exhaust of trucks,
trains, ships, and equipment with
diesel engines. Given the industrial and
goods movement uses along Richmond
Parkway, diesel PM concentrations near
the corridor range from 0.08 to 0.98 tons
per year. This is greater than 78% of
communities statewide (California Office
of Health Hazard Assessment, 2021).

Health Impacts
Poor environmental conditions
contribute to public health issues,
including asthma, cardiovascular
disease, cancer, and low birth weight.

The highest rates of asthma attacks
based on Emergency Room admissions
near the corridor are in North Richmond
and the Iron Triangle neighborhood.

The asthma rate in Iron Triangle is
greater than 99% of other census tracts
statewide, and North Richmond’s
rate is greater than 98% of other census
tracts statewide as shown in Figure
15 (California Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment, 2021).

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN

TRANSIT SERVICE
Limited transit service operates on the
corridor. Although there are 11 local
and regional routes, they only travel on
the northern and southern sections of
the Parkway, including at the Richmond
Parkway Transit Center (RPTC), but
none run along the full length of the
corridor. These routes and community
destinations like schools, hospitals, and
supermarkets are shown in Figure 16.

Many transit routes that serve corridor
residents run through residential
neighborhoods and to community
destinations instead of directly on the
Parkway, which has fewer active uses.

Photo: Bus stop at W MacDonald Ave.

Bus Connections
About 28% of total morning peak period
trips starting in the study area use the
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge in the
westbound direction. While there are
several bus routes that take riders north
and south of Richmond, there is only
one route that takes riders across the
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge: the Golden
Gate Transit 580 Route that stops at
Tewksbury Avenue and Castro Street.

Today, there are limited connections
between the study area and this bus stop
via the 607 and 72M. The 607 is a school
route with only one run on weekdays,
and the 72M only connects residents
living in the southern portion of the
corridor. Many lines run about every 30
minutes, providing limited service to
hospitals, supermarkets, and connections
like the Richmond BART station.

Richmond Parkway Transit Center
The RPTC includes a park-and-ride lot and serves five AC Transit and three WestCat bus routes that connect West County communities to Richmond, Hercules, San Pablo, El Cerrito, and Downtown San Francisco. However, the layout of the Transit Center requires several minutes of diversion time, which adds up to over 13,000 annual rider hours for WestCAT express routes. There is also limited bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure connecting to the transit center as shown in Figure 17.

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN

STAKEHOLDER GROUPS
WCCTC engaged a variety of stakeholder groups, ranging from project partners who will help deliver the Plan’s recommendations to members of the public. Key stakeholder groups were:

General Public
Residents and users of the Parkway were
reached through in-person and online
activities. To ensure engagement from
marginalized residents living within
the study area, in-person methods
focused on presenting at community
meetings and tabling at events/pop-ups
in adjacent neighborhoods, including
North Richmond, Parchester Village,
and Iron Triangle. To get the word
out, all opportunities were advertised
through social media ads and flyers and
engagement information was distributed
to all members of the WCCTC Board,
PAG, and Technical Advisory Committee.

Because over 48% of people living in the
area speak Spanish at home, Spanishspeaking staff attended each pop-up event and interactive boards, flyers,
and social media ads were translated
into Spanish. Online engagement was
conducted through an online platform that
enabled translation into any language.

Public Advisory Group (PAG)
The PAG served as community liaisons
to review and confirm the Public
Engagement Plan, share information with
community members, and provide input
on the strategies. The Public Advisory
Group consisted of representatives
from the Port of Richmond, Richmond
A robust community engagement process provided critical input to the Plan’s needs and recommendations. This chapter summarizes the stakeholder groups, engagement methods, and feedback received. Appendix A contains the engagement approach and feedback summary. 36 1595
Engagement

Project, Groundwork Richmond, Bike
East Bay, North Richmond Municipal
Advisory Council, Community
Housing Development Corporation,
Bay Area Outreach and Recreation
Program, and the California Trucking
Association. Four PAG meetings were
convened through the process.

WCCTC Board
The Board was continually updated
throughout the project and provided
strategic direction on the Plan.

Board members consisted of elected
officials representing the cities
of Hercules, Pinole, Richmond,
San Pablo, and El Cerrito, as well
as AC Transit, BART, WestCAT,
and Contra Costa County.

Project Partners
WCCTC partnered with the City
of Richmond and Contra Costa
County to deliver this Plan. Project
partners participated in project
management team meetings on a
bi-weekly basis and were involved in
key decisions throughout the study.

Their feedback is foundational to
this Plan, as agencies that operate
the local right-of-way will ultimately
deliver many of the strategies and
recommendations included in this Plan.

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
The Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC) facilitated coordination among
various agencies and organizations,
allowing key stakeholders to provide
input and technical guidance.

The TAC included representatives
from the cities of Hercules, Pinole,
Richmond, and San Pablo, as well
as AC Transit, BART, WestCAT, Contra
Costa County, the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, the East
Bay Regional Parks District, and the
West County Wastewater District.

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN
PHASE 1: UNDERSTAND NEEDS
To kick off the Plan, WCCTC asked participants to share their challenges and experiences using the Richmond Parkway via an online webmap of the corridor and by providing input in-person. Participants provided feedback on experiences related to safety, public health, transit, biking and walking, and vehicles and goods movement.

Engagement
What We Heard
Respondents cited safety as their top
concern, particularly related to speeding
along the Parkway. Nearly a third of all
responses related to biking and walking,
a majority of which noted comfort and
safety challenges while using the Parkway
and the Bay Trail. Biking and walking
comments also indicated concerns
about existing infrastructure, such as
missing sidewalks and curb ramps and
poor accessibility to trails. Participants
also brought up peak period congestion
Note: Percentages add up to more than 100% due to the open-ended nature of comments received.

More than one topic could be discussed in each comment. throughout the corridor, with specific
issues at intersections like San Pablo
Avenue, Giant Road, and Castro Street.

Maintenance was an important theme,
specifically concerning deteriorating
pavement, illegal dumping, and overgrown
trees. The distribution of need-related
topics heard can be seen in Figure 18.

Feedback on needs and desired
improvements was used as a
basis for the development of draft
strategies presented in Chapter 4.
“It’s a deadly rat race road
that I prefer not to drive on
anymore.”
“Making the Parkway look like it’s being
cared for will go a long way towards
making people feel safe.”
“The stretch where Parkway opens up from 2
lanes to 4 is crazy! It turns into a speedway!”
“Walking across the
Parkway is super scary.”

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN
PHASE 2: EXPLORE STRATEGIES
A list of over 30 strategies, organized into six different overarching topics, was developed to address the needs previously identified through existing conditions analysis, existing plans and policies, and engagement.

Stakeholders reviewed each strategy and provided a sense of relative priority.

In this phase of engagement, participants were asked to provide feedback on the draft strategies. Participants ranked strategies via an online survey, in-person verbally, or in-person on interactive boards.

Participants could also provide open-ended feedback on the draft strategies or suggest strategies that they felt were missing. Since the Parkway is also a regional facility serving a broader community whose preferred solutions may look different from residents living along the corridor, it was important to supplement the results of digital engagement strategy with in-person feedback from nearby residents.

Public Health
Strategies that reduce
neighborhood truck traffic
and reduce or mitigate
vehicle emissions.

Safety
Strategies that reduce
speeding and expand
emergency vehicle access.

Walking and Biking
Strategies that improve
walking and biking experience
on the Richmond Parkway
and the Bay Trail.

Driving and Goods Movement
Strategies that address congestion
and improve wayfinding.

Maintenance
Strategies that address
corridor and trail maintenance
and illegal dumping.

Transit
Strategies that address
transit reliability, service,
comfort, and access.

RICHMOND PARKWAY TRANSPORTATION PLAN
What We Heard
Figure 19 summarizes the pop-up and
online survey results, and highlights
the top strategy categories identified.

The top four draft strategy categories
were public health, safety, maintenance,
and walking and biking. Top strategies
were ranked within each category
based on the level of support.

The top strategy categories differed
between online survey respondents
and pop-up participants. Pop-up
participants more strongly represented
Equity Priority Communities living
along the corridor compared to online
survey respondents, who represented
the broader community of regional
Parkway users. Almost half of pop-up
interactions occurred in Spanish. Pop-up
participants ranked public health as the
top strategy, followed by maintenance and
safety, while online respondents ranked
walking and biking as their top strategy,
followed by safety and maintenance.

Public health strategies that received
the most support were strategies
restricting trucks from driving through
neighborhoods and parking or idling
near sensitive land uses, as well as the
strategy to mitigate emissions through
urban greening. Safety strategies,
particularly measures to reduce speeding
and address high risk intersections,
were desired. Under maintenance,
strategies addressing ongoing roadway
maintenance and illegal dumping
received support from all audiences.

Popular strategies related to walking
and biking included upgrading on-street
bikeways and sidewalks and constructing
a new crossing for Wildcat Creek Trail.

strategies for implementation.

Strategies in the highest-ranking
categories were given greater
consideration during the identification of
Priority Strategies described in Chapter 5.

*Goal weighted more heavily given disproportionate benefit to local Equity Priority Communities.

Implementing these strategies will require
coordination between WCCTC and partner
agencies and organizations. The top 10 are
identified as Priority Strategies (Chapter
5) to be advanced first. WCCTC and partner
agencies may draw from the larger list of
strategies as conditions change or as new
funding or capacity opportunities arise.

To measure the Plan’s performance, each
strategy was evaluated against the Plan’s
goals, as shown in Table 1. Consideration
of equity was incorporated by more
heavily weighting goals that would have a
disproportionate benefit to Equity Priority
Communities living along the corridor.

Based on the goal alignment metrics,
each strategy met Some Goals, Many

Improved air quality
Planting trees along sections of the nine-mile corridor would capture 213.6 metric tons of CO2 by 2050, the equivalent of removing 46 cars from the road driving a combined 529 thousand miles annually.1
Increased tree cover and lower temperatures
Adding about 800 trees to the tree cover will provide shade along the entire corridor. This strategy can lower surface temperatures by up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit, potentially preventing one in four heatwave-related deaths, particularly in low-income communities of color like along the Parkway.2 Improved drainage and water quality
Bioretention planters provide, on average, 56% to 89% stormwater volume reduction and are proven to filter pollutants from stormwater.3

Reduced emissions and costs to drivers2
Improved pavement conditions could save drivers up to 4%-10% of fuel consumption, repair and maintenance, and tire wear.1
Improved safety
Improved pavement friction at intersections provides numerous benefits: improved driver control, reduced stopping distances, reduced skidding, and a 20% reduction in total intersection crashes.2 Improved coordination and response
Consolidating maintenance responsibilities under one central manager allows for improved coordination between agencies, cost savings due to consolidation, and more timely response to concerns.

Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Scores
Consistent pavement maintenance helps extend the useful life of pavement. PCI scores measure the health of a road's pavement, ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A PCI score of at least 70 is desired.

Factors that affect a PCI score include the age of the pavement/when the roadway was last paved, climate and precipitation, traffic loads, and available maintenance funding. Keeping the Parkway in good pavement condition will require more constant maintenance due to consistent heavy truck traffic; this may include pavement milling and overlaying with digouts, pavement reconstruction, and slurry sealing.

MTC's StreetSaver software includes network PCI data as well as projected PCI information, assuming various maintenance scenarios, to help jurisdictions make maintenance decisions.

Improve access to the Richmond
Parkway Transit Center
T-1 TRANSIT
Benefits
Improve transit reliability
Access enhancements would reduce travel time delays associated with buses circulating within the RPTC, saving approximately 13,000 annual rider hours for WestCAT express routes. Time travel savings across operators would be greater.1
Support potential mode shift
Providing secure bicycle lockers for long term parking (2+ hours) encourages bicycle owners to bike to transit as a first/last mile connection.2
Improve pedestrian experience
Creating a direct formal pedestrian connection from the Parkway would enhance comfort and access for users who currently walk through landscaping or take a less direct route from Blume Drive to enter the RPTC. Providing a marked crosswalk will also improve visibility of these pedestrians.

Support transit access
Install bus pullout stops on Richmond Parkway for Richmond Parkway Transit Center (RPTC) routes and shift eastbound bikeway south of the bus stops. These bus bays would allow southbound buses traveling from I-80 or eastbound buses from Richmond Parkway to serve riders without turning onto Blume Drive and circulating within the Transit Center, saving a significant amount of time (northbound or westbound buses would still be required to enter the Transit Center).1 Support pedestrian access
Develop formal pedestrian connection between the northwest corner of the RPTC and Richmond Parkway. Upgrade faded crosswalk markings within the Transit Center.

advancing the assigned strategies and
ensuring adequate funding and staffing for
implementation. Coordinating agencies may
have prior planning knowledge or funding
streams valuable for implementation,
be working on similar efforts or efforts
affected by the strategy, or have a role
in post-implementation operation. For
example, MTC and East Bay Regional
Parks District (EBRPD) could have a
role in identifying funding for Bay Trail
improvements in strategy WB-1. These
priority strategies will bring substantial
improvements to the corridor and lead
agencies can look for opportunities to

THE PRIORITY

STRATEGIES
Given the regional and economic importance and
9-mile span of the Parkway, implementation will
require multi-jurisdictional efforts and substantial
funding. Table 4 highlights partnership opportunities
and jurisdictional responsibility for each of the
priority strategies introduced in Chapter 5. For
each priority strategy, lead agencies, coordinating
agencies, cost estimates, and completion timeframes
for delivering the strategy are listed. Agencies

1. Assumes a 4% inflation rate with construction occurring in 2030. Some costs may be duplicated across strategies, such as landscaping under PH-2 and landscape separated bikeways under WB-1, and cameras under PH-1 and traffic signal upgrades under DG-1.2. Funding already secured via CNRA Urban Greening Grant for tree planting along Richmond Parkway adjacent to Atchison Village and in North Richmond. Other segments require funding. 82 3.

To advance the priority strategies in the
near-term, Table 5 includes immediate
next steps for lead agencies to undertake,
as well as future steps. Due to the length
of the corridor, capital improvement
strategies should be grouped by corridor
segment and assembled as packages
for funding applications. For example,
Appendix B includes a 35% design
concept for a landscape separated
bikeway on the northern segment of
Richmond Parkway, which incorporates
multiple priority strategies. Lead agencies
can use the design concept to pursue
funding in the near-term to address several
existing challenges on this segment,
including a concentration of speed-related
injury collisions, absence of separated
bikeways connecting to the Richmond
Parkway Transit Center (RPTC), and an
indirect bus connection to the RPTC.

POTENTIAL FUTURE

FUNDING SOURCES
Since the Richmond Parkway is a regional
facility, funding streams paid for by
regional users should be considered.

Potential future funding sources may
include a new sales tax, regional tollbased measure, Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD), and Benefit
Assessment District. These options
are described on the next page.

These tools could provide long-term,
stable funding sources for priority
