The widening of Grand Avenue between <br />First and Seventeenth Streets has been a long-term priority project that will be constructed in <br />several phases. Improvements include widening the street from two to three lanes in each <br />direction; raised landscape medians; curb, gutter, and sidewalk construction; and bike lanes. The <br />Public Works Agency is acquiring property for Phase I between First and Fourth Streets, and <br />expects to complete the acquisition process by June 2013 and start construction in the summer of <br />2013. <br />The Uniform Relocation Act obligates the City to relocate tenants of the properties acquired for the <br />widening of Grand Avenue and sets standards for benefit amounts (Exhibit 1). The tenant at 1221 <br />East First Street, Unit C, has agreed to the settlement amount of $73,230, which is for all rights, <br />title, and interest, including fixtures and equipment. The compensation amount for this property is <br />the appraised value prepared by an appraiser licensed by the State of California. <br />25F-1
