property for construction of a 14-mile 238 Corridor Bypass Freeway to run through the City of Hayward and parts of unincorporated Alameda County filed in federal court on behalf of residents to be displaced by the freeway construction Caltrans subsequently abandoned the freeway plan state legislation was passed to allow Hayward and other local jurisdictions—working through the Alameda County Transportation Authority—to develop alternative strategies for relieving traffic congestion in Central Alameda County The legislation called for these Local Alternative Transportation Improvement Program projects to be funded from proceeds from the sale of properties that had been accumulated by Caltrans for the 238 Bypass Freeway Arnold Schwarzenegger directed Caltrans to sell all property not needed for existing LATIP projects The directive led to negotiations and a legal settlement between Caltrans the City and residential tenants residing on the 238 Bypass Corridor properties every tenant household living in the Corridor as of Jan received a “lump sum stipend,” which was calculated using Caltrans policies with consideration given to length of tenancy The lump sum stipends were comprised of a “relocation payment” and “moving stipend.” several of the Caltrans 238 properties were sold to their Corridor tenants through a City-assisted first-time homebuyer program new residential development in the Corridor was required to include at least 237 new low-income housing units through application of the city’s inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance tenants of the Caltrans properties were to be given occupancy preference where possible and allowable when new below-market housing is constructed in the Corridor following formal adoption of the settlement the City approached Caltrans with a proposal to allow the City to take responsibility for the disposition and development of the remaining Caltrans-owned property and eventually a Purchase and Sale Agreement
