This project is under design and scheduled for construction in 2008. The <br />City of San Leandro's portion (ACTIA No. 17 project) is to ilnprove the part of intersection at <br />Hesperian Boulevard and Lewelling Boulevard. This project is divided into two phases. <br /> <br />The first phase of the project added one right turn lane on southbound Hesperian Boulevard to <br />facilitate liTe right turns onto Lewelling Boulevard. This work was completed in June 2004. <br />'fhe second phase involves improving the eastbound lane to northbound I Iesperian Boulevard to <br />alleviate vehicle congestion. The solution requires an intersection analysis to optimize the <br />intersection, considering the changing traffic pattern projected by the 1-23S and Lewelling <br />80ulevard construction. This traffic assessment report will develop short and long-te1l11 <br />intersection improvement alternatives, including intersection confIgurations and traffic signal <br />operations. <br />
