Thank you. Office of the Board Secretary Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority 3331 N. First Street San Jose, CA 95134 408.321.5680 [email protected] ATTACHMENT A Project ID #519 Project ID# 519 Project Name: Lawrence Freeway Preamble VTA believes this project should not require a compelling case justification, and should be included in the financially constrained section of the RTP. The Lawrence Freeway was modeled combining seven projects along the corridor: . Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Interim Improvements (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence Expressway from Reed/Monroe to Arques Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence Expressway right‐in/out closures (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence/Stevens Creek/I‐280 Interchange (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) . Realign Wildwood Avenue to connect with Lawrence Expressway (includes new traffic signal at Lawrence Expressway/Wildwood Avenue intersection) . Widen Lawrence Expressway between Moorpark and I‐280 (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) The County of Santa Clara is in the process of adopting the Countywide Expressway Plan 2040. The Countywide Expressway Plan 2040 takes a look at the needs of the expressways based on city land use plans, projected 2040 traffic growth, and Complete Streets planning. The Expressway Plan developed a program of projects based on tiers that was adopted by the Expressway Plan Policy Advisory Board made up of VTA Board Members, County Supervisors, Roads Commission Members and City Elected Officials in 2015. These projects were grouped in categories of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. These tiers represent near, mid, and long‐term improvements. Expressway improvements listed in Tier 1 represent a priority for Santa Clara County in improving mainline conditions and improving access for transit, pedestrians, and bikes. There are three projects on the Lawrence Freeway category that we would like to see included within Plan Bay Area 2040: . Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Interim Improvements (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) . Lawrence Expressway from Reed/Monroe to Arques Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) These three projects represent a priority for Santa Clara County as adopted by the Expressway Plan Policy Advisory Board and will be funded 100% through local funding. The County of Santa Clara has developed a project concept study for Lawrence Expressway specifically on these three projects. Page 1 of 3 ATTACHMENT A Project ID #519 Project Description and Benefits: The Tier 1 Lawrence Expressway projects includes three major components; 1) Interim improvements at the Homestead interchange, 2) New grade separation at Homestead, and 3) New grade separation from Reed/Monroe to Arques. The improvements are further described below. 1) Add eastbound through lane on Homestead Road through Lawrence Expressway intersection in Santa Clara. 2) Grade separation of Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road, including HOV lanes and class I bike/pedestrian trail. 3) Grade separation of Lawrence Expressway from Reed/Monroe to Arques including HOV lanes and class I bike/pedestrian trails on both sides of expressway. Project Cost and Funding: $542.7 Million Amount ($Millions) Funding Source $542.7 Local Funding Justification: 1. The Tier 1 Lawrence Expressway projects will be fully funded through local sales tax initiatives and local transportation impact fees. The local sales tax initiative will fund the improvements on Lawrence Expressway and have been identified as part of the approval of the Envision Silicon Valley program on June 2, 2016 by the VTA Board of Directors. The approval sets the Tier 1 as one of the priorities of the ballot initiative. 2. These Tier 1 projects serves as a priority for the Expressway Plan Policy Advisory Board which identified the Tier 1 projects as near term improvements. On August 31, 2015, the Policy Advisory Board adopted the Tier 1 list of projects, including those on Lawrence Expressway, for inclusion in the Plan. The Tier 1 list of projects are those that will be completed in a near term timeframe. They also represent those sets of projects that not only relieve congestion but are safety projects with complete streets elements. 3. Lawrence Expressway is a heavily traveled route with 253,000 average weekday vehicle trips during peak hours. Level of Service along the length of the expressway regularly is at Level of Service (LOS) F, with the intersections at Homestead Road, Arques Avenue, and Reed Avenue/Monroe Street at LOS F during AM and PM Peak periods. The improvements Page 2 of 3 ATTACHMENT A Project ID #519 outlined in Tier 1 will address circulation, relieve congestion, and improve connectivity for all users of the roadway, including bicyclists and pedestrians. 4. The Lawrence Expressway grade separation segments have some of the highest collision rates on the County Expressway System due to the very high volumes and severe levels of traffic congestion. Between 2009 and 2013, there were 429 collisions, of which 5 involved bicycles or pedestrians. The expressway currently has low use by bicyclists and pedestrians. At the community meetings for the Expressway Plan, safety concerns were frequently raised and community requested for improved facilities along Lawrence Expressway. The grade separation project will greatly improve safety for all users by reducing the number of conflicts with crossings and by providing Class I bicycle/pedestrian trail and short crossings of cross streets. Recommendation The recommendation to the MTC Planning Committee would be to: 1) Include the following projects in Plan Bay Area: a. Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) b. Lawrence Expressway at Homestead Road Interim Improvements (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) c. Lawrence Expressway from Reed/Monroe to Arques Grade Separation (Tier 1 Exp. Plan 2040) 2) Remove from consideration: a. Lawrence Expressway right‐in/out closures (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) b. Lawrence/Stevens Creek/I‐280 Interchange (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) c. Widen Lawrence Expressway between Moorpark and I‐280 (Tier 2 Exp. Plan 2040) 3) Will be captured as a local streets project: a.

  • Basques in the Americas from 1492 To1892: a Chronology
    Basques in the Americas From 1492 to1892: A Chronology “Spanish Conquistador” by Frederic Remington Stephen T. Bass Most Recent Addendum: May 2010 FOREWORD The Basques have been a successful minority for centuries, keeping their unique culture, physiology and language alive and distinct longer than any other Western European population. In addition, outside of the Basque homeland, their efforts in the development of the New World were instrumental in helping make the U.S., Mexico, Central and South America what they are today. Most history books, however, have generally referred to these early Basque adventurers either as Spanish or French. Rarely was the term “Basque” used to identify these pioneers. Recently, interested scholars have been much more definitive in their descriptions of the origins of these Argonauts. They have identified Basque fishermen, sailors, explorers, soldiers of fortune, settlers, clergymen, frontiersmen and politicians who were involved in the discovery and development of the Americas from before Columbus’ first voyage through colonization and beyond. This also includes generations of men and women of Basque descent born in these new lands. As examples, we now know that the first map to ever show the Americas was drawn by a Basque and that the first Thanksgiving meal shared in what was to become the United States was actually done so by Basques 25 years before the Pilgrims. We also now recognize that many familiar cities and features in the New World were named by early Basques. These facts and others are shared on the following pages in a chronological review of some, but by no means all, of the involvement and accomplishments of Basques in the exploration, development and settlement of the Americas.

    Stitching a River Culture: Trade, Communication and Transportation to 1960 W. R. Swagerty and Reuben W. Smith, University of the Pacific Swagerty & Smith 1 Stitching a River Culture: Communication, Trade and Transportation to 1960 An essay by William R. Swagerty & Reuben W. Smith The Delta Narratives Project Delta Protection Commission, State of California June 1, 2015 California’s Delta California’s Delta is a unique environment, created by the natural drainage of the state’s Sierra Nevada range into the Central Valley, which in turn delivers the runoff of rain and snowmelt into river basins that meander and spill into sloughs, bays, and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. According to environmental historian Philip Garone, “Rising sea levels between six thousand and seven thousand years ago impeded the flow of the lower reaches of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, creating a labyrinthine network of hundreds of miles of sloughs surrounding nearly one hundred low-lying islands—the historic Delta.”1 Today, the original 738,000 acres of the Delta are among the most engineered lands in the state; and yet, they still have environmental, social, and economic attributes that merit recognition and protection. By the State of California Delta Protection Commission’s own introductory definition: The Primary Zone of the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta (Delta) includes approximately 500,000 acres of waterways, levees and farmed lands extending over portions of five counties: Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Contra Costa. The rich peat soil in the central Delta and the mineral soils in the higher elevations support a strong agricultural economy.
