Relocation Impact Memorandum Page 1 of 5 M e m o r a n d u m Date: March 6, 2026 To: City of Redwood City From: Associated Right of Way Services, Inc. Subject: Relocation Impact Memorandum Introduction and Purpose This memorandum has been prepared by Associated Right of Services (AR/WS) to summarize the Relocation Assistance Program available to those displaced by the State Route 84 (Woodside Road) / U.S. 101 Interchange Reimagined Project (Project). The City of Redwood City (City), in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA), proposes to acquire property for the Project. Individuals, families, businesses, farms, and nonprofit organizations who are displaced as a result of a public project may be eligible to receive relocation advisory services and reimbursement for eligible relocation expenses by the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA), and California Relocation Assistance Law (CRAL). Statutory Requirements The URA and CRAL require public agencies to plan for the potential impact to persons and personal property caused by the construction of publicly funded projects. If there are residential displacements, California law requires public agencies to prepare a Draft Relocation Plan and make it available for a 30-day review and comment period prior to submitting it to the agency’s decision-making body for review, consideration, and adoption. This Project will not displace any residential occupants and therefore does not require the full relocation plan to be circulated for a 30-day period or adopted. For projects under Caltrans purview, such as this one, a Relocation Impact Memorandum (RIM) is typically prepared for projects with fewer than 10 displacements and when sufficient replacement sites are available. RIMs are usually prepared during the Environmental stages of a project. Given that this project has been in development for quite some time, it is unclear if a RIM or other relocation document was prepared. To ensure the requirement is met (and/or refresh the analysis if one was previously prepared), AR/WS has drafted a RIM as an information item for the City of Redwood City’s City Council to review. Project Overview The Project plans to widen and add lanes to State Route (SR) 84, reconstruct all ramp connections to U.S. 101, and construct direct-connect flyover ramps between U.S. 101 and Veterans Boulevard in Redwood City. The Project would also construct pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the project area and improve the intersections of Woodside Road with Veterans Boulevard, Broadway, and Bay Road to the south of U.S. 101, and Seaport Boulevard/East Bayshore Road/Blomquist Road to the north of U.S. 101. A review of the proposed project was conducted to determine the potential impact on all property owners and occupants. It has been determined there is no significant impact 1 to owners, tenants, businesses, or persons in possession of real property to be acquired who would qualify for relocation assistance benefits or entitlements under the URA or CRAL. 1 25 CCR§ 6038(a) EXHIBIT A ATTY/RESO.0015/CC RESO APPROVING THE RELOCATION IMPACT MEMORANDUM FOR THE 84/101 REIMAGINED PROJECT - EXHIBIT A REV: 04-20-26 VR Page 1 of 34
