The widening of Grand Avenue <br />between First and Seventeenth Streets has been a long-term priority project that will be <br />constructed in several phases. Improvements include the widening of the roadway from two to <br />three lanes in each direction; construction of raised landscape medians; new curb, gutter, and <br />sidewalk; and inclusion of bike lanes. The Public Works Agency is acquiring property for <br />development of Phase I, bounded by First and Fourth Streets, and expects to complete the <br />acquisition process by June 2013. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of 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 208 <br />North Grand Avenue, Unit B, has agreed to the above settlement amount. The settlement <br />agreement is for all rights, title, and interest, including fixtures and equipment. The compensation <br />amount for this property is the appraised value prepared by an appraiser licensed by the State of <br />California. <br />25L-1
