Seventeenth Street in the amount of $41,185. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> On October 20, 2008, City Council approved a cooperative agreement with Orange County <br /> Transportation Authority (OCTA) for the Grade Crossing Enhancement Program at ten crossings <br /> in the City. Improvements include medians, roadway signing and striping, pedestrian gates and <br /> other vehicular gate enhancements. OCTA is the lead agency for this project and the City is <br /> responsible for 12 percent of the total costs. <br /> The purpose of this program is to enhance railroad safety and make streets and roads safer for <br /> the community. One of the railroad crossings to be enhanced as a result of this program is at <br /> Seventeenth Street. To install the improvements at this crossing, OCTA determined that <br /> acquisition of 242 square feet will be required from the property at 1102 E. Seventeenth Street. <br /> The compensation amount is the appraised value prepared by an appraiser licensed in the State <br /> of California. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> A Notice of Exemption and Categorical Exemption -Class 1 (f): Safety Protection Devices (ER # <br /> 2008-159) has been prepared for the project and is consistent with both of these agreements. <br /> 25G-1 <br /> <br />
