DISCUSSION: On June 18, 2020 BART received notice from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Transportation and Planning announcing the award of the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant for Fiscal Year 2020-21. A condition of grant acceptance is a resolution from the BART Board of Directors. The El Cerrito-Berkeley Corridor Access Strategy for Transit Oriented Development is a project that will evaluate the feasibility of innovative strategies for BART to provide station access to customers in Berkeley, El Cerrito, Richmond, Albany, Kensington, and larger catchment area; and to develop BART'S surface parking lots with roughly 2,000 homes, with a minimum affordability goal of 3 5%. Building upon the FY2018-2019 Caltrans grant that has been exploring alternatives to parking replacement in Transit Oriented Development at El Cerrito Plaza station, this Grant supports BART in larger-scale solutions in partnership with stakeholders. This Grant will help BART meet its goal to advance mixed-income housing development at El Cerrito Plaza, North Berkeley, and Ashby stations.

This action is not anticipated to have any fiscal impact on unprogrammed District reserves in the current fiscal year. ALTERNATIVES: Do not authorize the BART General Manager, or his designee, to enter into an agreement with Caltrans and forego the Grant funds. RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of the following Motion.

Cub Scouts are encouraged to hike as much of the trail as they can, but they are not required to complete the whole 8 miles. Do your best! Older Scouts are expected to complete the entire trail in order to earn the patch. The hike is designed as a loop, starting and ending at the Del Norte BART Station, but you may jump in anywhere along the route. The trail may be hiked over multiple days; there is no time limit. If you have difficulty finding a point of interest or the answer to a question, it’s ok to skip it and move on to the next one. What you’re looking for may no longer be there. A Brief History of El Cerrito The area around present-day El Cerrito was once home to the Ohlone Indians.
