Improving the 3.9 -mile Bristol Street <br />segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane, a long-term priority project, will be constructed in <br />several phases. Improvements include widening the street from two to three lanes in each <br />direction, constructing raised landscape medians, and installing bike lanes. The Public Works <br />Agency is acquiring property for development of Phase IIIB, bounded by Washington Avenue and <br />Seventeenth Street (Exhibit 1), and expects to complete the right -of -way acquisition process by <br />December 2014. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2015. <br />Pursuant to California Government Code, a public entity is required to adopt a relocation plan by <br />resolution whenever it enters into an agreement for acquisition of real property or an agreement for <br />the disposition and development of property which would lead to displacement of people from their <br />homes. In conformance with this provision, the City prepared a Relocation Plan to outline the <br />requirements for moving and re- establishing displaced residential and business occupants, and to <br />demonstrate the level of advisory and financial assistance that will be provided. Based on <br />occupant interviews, needs analyses, and searches for appropriate replacement sites, the Agency <br />estimates relocation costs to be approximately $2.87 million. <br />The Draft Relocation Plan was made available for public review for 30 days beginning July 15, <br />2014. Each potential displaced occupant and affected property owner was given an advisory <br />notice regarding the availability of the Relocation Plan and their opportunity to submit questions <br />and comments. The Relocation Plan was available for review at the City library, the City Clerk's <br />Office, the Public Works Agency public counter, and on the City's website. One comment was <br />55D -1 <br />
