Highway 84 Traffic: Part Of Highway Given To Fremont

FREMONT, CA — Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Monday that gives the city of Fremont the stretch of state Highway 84 between Interstate Highway 880 and Mission Boulevard.

Sen. Bob Wieckowski, D-Fremont, a member of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee, authored the bill. It is part of a 2006 agreement with Fremont, the Alameda County Transportation Commission, Caltrans and Union City.

The city has a variety of plans to make improvements to the route, including repaving work, installing curb ramps and more efficient traffic signals, and creating safer walking routes to school.

"I am thrilled that this relinquishment, which has been in the works for some time, has finally occurred. Now, Fremont can get to work and make road improvements that will benefit drivers, pedestrians and enhance safety," Wieckowski said in a statement.
