	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2027, Chan.  State Highway Route 260:  relinquishment.
   Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to
relinquish to a city or county any portion of a state highway within
the city or county that has been deleted from the state highway
system by legislative enactment.
   This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City
of Alameda a specified portion of State Highway Route 260 upon terms
and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of
the state if the Department of Transportation and the city enter into
a relinquishment agreement.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 560 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended
to read:
   560.  (a) Route 260 is from Route 61 in Alameda to Route 880 in
Oakland near Seventh and Harrison Streets.
   (b) (1) The commission may relinquish to the City of Alameda the
portion of Route 260 that is located within the city limits of that
city and that is between Atlantic Avenue and Central Avenue, upon the
terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best
interests of the state, if the department and the city enter into an
agreement providing for that relinquishment.
   (2) A relinquishment under this subdivision shall become effective
immediately following the recordation by the county recorder of the
relinquishment resolution containing the commission's approval of the
terms and conditions of the relinquishment.
   (3) On and after the effective date of the relinquishment, the
relinquished portion of Route 260 shall cease to be a state highway.

   (4) For the portion of Route 260 that is relinquished under this
subdivision, the City of Alameda shall maintain within its
jurisdiction signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route
260.
