Disqualification, Exclusion, and Withdrawal of Projects

In its Staff report and during the hearing, Staff requested that the following projects be excluded because they are entirely light rail: the three projects of the County of Santa Clara, and the Bradshaw Road project of the Sacramento Regional Transit District. Staff requested to exclude the following nominations because the nominees failed to appear at the hearing, a requirement of this proceeding pursuant to the OII: California City, Sonoma, Rancho Cucumonga and two projects of San Bernardino County. In addition, Staff requested to exclude the Anaheim Street project of the Port of Long Beach, which was already under construction (S&H Code § 2460.7). In a ruling on March 22, 2000, the presiding officer granted Staff's requests to exclude these projects from the Priority List.
