A storage site at Helen Street under the 580 freeway leased from Caltrans on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. The site was one of several leases that failed fire safety inspections and underwent a cleanup.
In the Bay Area, state fire marshals conducted nine inspections under interstates 880 and 580 overpasses in Alameda County, two under 580 in Richmond and five under Interstate 280 and Highway 101 in San Francisco. Only two passed,Caltrans said tenants were given 30 days to correct problems noted by the fire marshal. Though Caltrans was unclear whether all the problems have since been corrected, leaseholders at several of the Bay Area sites said they have done so.
A lumber yard storage area leased from Caltrans under the 880 freeway near 5th Avenue on Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024, in Oakland, Calif. The site was one of several leases that failed fire safety inspections and underwent a cleanup. The inspected sites represent a fraction of Caltrans’ 600 active freeway right-of-way leases in the program. The transportation agency has been leasing space since the 1970s and raised $34.6 million for transportation programs in its most recent year. Other states have similar programs.
Barth said Caltrans revisited, they passed inspection, and Caltrans worked with them to resolve issues so they could stay.
