AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 13, 2009
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Hayashi
FEBRUARY 27, 2009
An act to amend Sections 14528.5 and 14528.55 of the Government
Code, and to amend Sections 392, 485, and 538 of the Streets and
Highways Code, relating to transportation, and making an
appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1386, as amended, Hayashi. State highways.
Existing law authorizes a city or county in which a planned
transportation facility was to be located on State Highway Route 238
in Alameda County to develop and file with the California
Transportation Commission a local alternative transportation program
that addresses transportation problems and opportunities, and
provides for the use of revenues from the sales of excess properties
acquired for the planned state facility in order to fund the local
alternative program, but limits the use of revenues from excess
property sales to state highway purposes. Existing law provides that
the commission may not approve a local alternative program under
these provisions after July 1, 2010. Similar provisions apply to
State Highway Route 84 in the Cities of Fremont and Union City,
except that the use of revenues from excess property sales in that
corridor are limited to state highway purposes or projects in the
local voter-approved transportation sales tax measure.
This bill would modify the restriction limiting use of revenues
from excess property sales to state highway purposes applicable to
State Highway Route 238 by authorizing those revenues to be used for
any highway purpose. This bill would require revenues from excess
property sales for State Highway Route 238 and State Highway Route 84
to be deposited into separate accounts in the Special Deposit Fund,
a continuously appropriated fund, to be available for expenditure by
local agencies for purposes of an approved local alternative
transportation program for the applicable corridor route. The bill
would thereby make an appropriation.
Existing law provides for state highways to be constructed, as
determined by the California Transportation Commission, on routes
authorized by law. Existing law provides for relinquishment by the
commission of state highways to local agencies under certain
conditions.
This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish portions of
State Highway Routes 92, 185, and 238 in the City of Hayward to that
city subject to various conditions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
