EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of Amendment No. 5 to Agreement No. 170474B would extend the term of the agreement to June 30, 2024. The Board of Supervisors earlier requested staff review our Left Turn Lane (LTL) requirements for private development to create a standard "equivalent to the Caltrans Standard". Our current standard results in more left turn lanes being created than the Caltrans Standard would require.
