WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency ("RDA") of the City of San

WHEREAS, the RDA is undertaking certain activities necessary for

Community Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code, §§ 33000 et seq.)
("CRL") and the Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, among the goals of the San Jacinto Redevelopment Plan, as
amended and adopted, is to combat deterioration of the physical and economic
�.. character of the Project Area by coordinating the efficient use, installation and
construction of publicly owned improvements; and
WHEREAS, the RDA seeks to use funding from the RDA 80% Non-
Housing Fund portion of the 2005 RDA Tax-Exempt Bond Refinance ("Bond
Refinance Proceeds") to pay for the proposed construction of new curbs, gutters,
and sidewalks within the public right of way beginning on the north side of Buena
Vista Avenue and extending along Esplanade Avenue to the north side of Santa
Fe Avenue ("Street Improvements"); and
WHEREAS, the proposed Street Improvements are located in the Project
Area; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Street Improvements would close existing gaps
in the City's public infrastructure, as the streets proposed for improvement
currently have no curbs, gutters and sidewalks while most of the streets in the
immediate area are already improved; and
WHEREAS, the lack of basic public infrastructure on the streets proposed
for improvement discourages economic investment by potential new businesses
and prevents adequate and safe pedestrian access in this portion of the Project
Area; and
