380.4
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that there will be
increased traffic on San Pablo Avenue in the Cities of Richmond, San
Pablo, Pinole, Hercules, and El Cerrito, and other portions of San
Pablo Avenue in the County of Contra Costa by motor vehicles detoured
because of construction work on Route 80 in Contra Costa County.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section
that the state share in the cost of maintaining and operating San
Pablo Avenue to the extent that it is used as an alternative to Route
80 during construction. It is the further intent of the Legislature
that the department pay up to the amount authorized in this section
to the County of Contra Costa and to each city specified in
subdivision (a).
(c) During the period of construction, the department may pay
annually to the County of Contra Costa and to each of the cities
specified in subdivision (a) for the added costs of maintenance and
operation of San Pablo Avenue. The total obligation of the department
for this purpose shall not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars
($75,000) per year, adjusted for inflation, as reflected by a change
in a national or regional index that measures the rate of inflation,
as determined by the department.
(d) This section shall remain in effect only until the commission
certifies to the Secretary of State that construction is complete on
the project on Route 80 in Contra Costa County to convert the
existing shoulder to additional traffic lanes, and as of the date of
that certification is repealed.
