In 1842, a portion of land, including the subject property was purchased by James Leonard. In 1875, the subject property and a portion of the adjacent properties to the west were purchased by Dr. Jose Maria Montealegre Fernandez, a former president of Costa Rica, who built a residence on the southwestern side of the subject property. In 1909, the residence was relocated to another site in Berkeley, and the subject property remained vacant until 1921, when Clarence J. Felt and J.L Millett constructed an automobile garage on the subject property called University Garage. In 1935, the business was sold to Harry T Doten, who purchased the property in 1944. In 1945, he constructed the existing subject property building for his Pontiac showroom and garage. The dealership operated on-site until 1971. The existing subject property building was renovated in 1971 and 1972 for small office, retail, and restaurant spaces which still exist today. The following historical addresses were associated with the subject property: 2428-2458 Blake Street and 2554-2564 Telegraph Avenue. These addresses were also researched as part of this assessment. The immediately surrounding properties consist of the following: Direction Tenant/Use (Address) Regulatory from Site Database Listing(s) Northwest Blake Street, followed by: None identified Apartments (2425-2431 Blake Street) North Blake Street, followed by: None identified Telegraph Market and the Glenn Building Apartments (2550 Telegraph Avenue) Northeast Telegraph Avenue, followed by: None identified The Center For Independent Living and the United Nations Association (2539 Telegraph Avenue) Project No. 337284 December 23, 2014 Page iv Direction Tenant/Use (Address) Regulatory from Site Database Listing(s) East Telegraph Avenue, followed by: None identified Buffalo Exchange, Vacant commercial spaces, and Pasta Bene Restaurant (2587 Telegraph Avenue) South Smoke and Gifts and Kiraku Restaurant (2566 Telegraph Avenue) None identified West Chilton Way, followed by: None identified Residences (2418 Blake Street and 2529-2533 Chilton Way) Please refer to Section 5.1 for discussion of adjacent sites listed in the regulatory database as noted above. Based upon topographic map interpretation, the direction of groundwater flow beneath the subject property is inferred to be to the southwest. Based on groundwater monitoring data for a nearby site at 2531 Telegraph Avenue (located approximately 150 feet northeast of the subject property) obtained from GeoTracker, groundwater is presumed to be present at an estimated depth of 5-10 feet below ground surface (bgs). FINDINGS Recognized Environmental Condition (REC) is defined by the ASTM Standard Practice E1527-13 as the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment. AEI’s assessment has revealed the following RECs associated with the subject property or nearby properties: A nearby site located approximately 150 feet northeast of the subject property, identified as 2531 Telegraph Avenue, was identified

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tim Kelley Consulting (TKC) was engaged to conduct an Historical Resource Evaluation (HRE) for 2556 Telegraph Avenue, a steel frame brick faced commercial building constructed circa 1946, with a 1962 addition, in Berkeley’s LeConte neighborhood. TKC conducted a field survey, background research of public records, and a literature and map review to evaluate the subject property according to the significance criteria for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) and the City of Berkeley’s Landmarks Preservation Ordinance. Subsequent sections of this report present the detailed results of TKC’s research. Based on that research, TKC concludes that 2556 Telegraph is not eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, nor does it appear eligible for listing as a City Landmark, Structure of Merit, or contributor to an identified historic district. Accordingly, 2556 Telegraph does not appear to be a historical resource for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act. REV 2.

During World War II, the Key System temporarily expanded and ran trains directly to the Richmond Shipyard from 40th and San Pablo. The railroad was built using scrap material and decommissioned New York subway cars. The Key Route’s reign ended in 1958, and its privately-held services were replaced by public transit agencies AC Transit (which bought out the Key System) and later BART. P.S. if you want to have a good time with conspiracy theories, check out the demise of the Key Route as a factor in the GM Streetcar Conspiracy, which weirdly I had never realized is the basis for the plot of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?! Vestiges of the Key Route still linger on in the East Bay. I was most excited to learn that the mysterious tunnel behind the Target on the West Oakland-Emeryville border was actually a subway for Key System trains (and now leads to a sewer that is part of East Bay MUD). As a longtime fan of NHK World’s Japan train hopper serial killer who struck on NOTE: the Key System also included Railway Journal, I’ve seen the our railroad line here in 1996. Finally, ferries, which leads to my perpetual aftermath of many Shinkansen I did a deep dive into historic East Bay question: WHY IS THERE NO FERRY SERVICE derailments. I never thought I’d see railways.

  • Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report
    Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report May 20, 2021 ES-1 Final Report Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study Final Report Prepared by Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) May 20, 2021 Executive Summary The 2018 California State Rail Plan envisions a network of high-speed, intercity corridor, and commuter trains integrated with local transit, providing nearly seamless connections for riders seeking to reach all parts of the state. In corridors where no trains operate, the Rail Plan calls for express buses using the existing highway systems to provide access to the state’s rail system. The Rail Plan identified the I-680 corridor between the Tri-Valley area (i.e. Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore) and Suisun City as one such corridor, where express buses could link a Tri-Valley Transit Hub with the Suisun-Fairfield Amtrak Station, a stop for the Capitol Corridor trains. This Tri-Valley Hub Network Integration Study is an effort to define what such express bus service would be: its route, stops, connections with corridor and commuter trains, as well as its likely ridership, revenue, and costs for implementation. The study investigates the BART Dublin/Pleasanton BART station as a candidate for the Tri-Valley Transit Hub, along with potential improvements that could make the facility easier, safer, and more comfortable for riders to use. The study also explores options to better connect northern San Joaquin County communities with the Tri-Valley Hub. The distance between the Suisun Amtrak Station and the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station is 53 miles, inclusive of a stop at the Martinez Amtrak Station.

Among other topics, it will address these groups’ use of transportation, their positive feedback, frustrations, concerns, and recommendations. TRACS aims to improve the transportation system overall to support independence and well-being, with special focus on ensuring climate resilience and effective emergency management for seniors and PWDs. TRACS includes data analysis; research on regional transportation options, operators, policies and planning; engaging the disability community through focus groups, interviews, and surveys; developing policy recommendations; and public education initiatives through workshops and publications.
