provide width for bicycle lanes, and provide additional on-street parking in the BART station area. The current six lane configuration of San Leandro Boulevard carries about 19,500 vehicles per day. The capacity of a six lane divided arterial street is about 49,300 vehicles per day. Conversion to a four lane divided arterial would reduce the capacity to about 32,800 vehicles per day. This capacity is sufficient to accommodate existing and projected traffic volumes on San Leandro Boulevard. X The closure of Hays Street between East 14th Street and Davis Street as a public through street. This modification is proposed to allow more intense development of property in Special Policy Area 3 (SP 3). The Hays Street intersections with East 14th Street and Davis Street are assumed to remain as access points to new development. Currently Hays Street is used by a high volume of traffic to bypass the intersection of East 14th Street and Davis Street. With closure of Hays Street as a public street, this traffic would shift to the East 14th / Davis intersection. Because this modification would occur with redevelopment of SP3, the closure of Hays Street does not cause any significant non-traffic impacts. X The abandonment of Martinez Street between Thornton Street and West Juana A venue (and possibly up to West Estudillo A venue). X Closure of West Joaquin Avenue between East 14th Street and Washington Avenue to be reconfigured as a pedestrian paseo. X Modification of the lane configuration at the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard and Davis Street converting the outside southbound through lane to a right-turn lane. X Modification of the lane configuration at the intersection of East 14th Street and Davis Street. X Protect residential neighborhoods from the encroachment of incompatible non- residential uses and disruptive traffic, to the extent possible. Zoning and design review should ensure that compatibility issues are fully addressed when non- residential development is approved near or within residential areas (General Plan Policy 1.11). X Ensure that parking for Downtown businesses remains convenient, but take steps which deemphasize surface parking lots as a dominant feature of the Downtown landscape. Establish satellite parking areas, including attractively designed parking structures, accessed by well-defined and inviting pedestrian passageways (General Plan Policy 6.07). X Consider the setting and context of each site when evaluating proposals for development in industrial areas. The potential for impacts on adjacent uses, including the potential for land use conflicts and increased parking demand and tnIck traffic, should be a key consideration (General Plan Policy 10.02). X Ensure that future land use and development decisions are in balance with the 20
