4. Review of Working Papers 5 and 6 and Draft San Leandro Boulevard Preliminary Engineering Design (35%) and Streetscape prior to TACand Planning Commission hearing. 5. Presentation of Draft San Leandro Boulevard-BART Pedestrian Interface Plan and discussion of staff comments. 2. STATION ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY PLAN 21 Station Access and Connectivity Plan This task is conducted concurrent with Tasks 2.2 and 2.4. The purpose is to determine if the design of San Leandro Boulevard and BART station transit plaza/access and the proposed street crossings accessing the BART station resulting from this study will affect the connectivity plan recommended in the Strategy. This task also assesses whether plans proposed in recent development proposals since the Strategy has been adopted (e.g., The Crossings) should be changed and if they affect the design of San Leandro Boulevard or vice versa. This task will focus on the following: • Identifying key pedestrian routes and destinations such as $ART fare gates, Washington Plaza via the West Estudillo Avenue paseo, bus and shuttle stops within the BART station area, Creekside Plaza, St. Leander's church and school, and BART parking to determine a prioritization of crossing locations and designs. • Examining the four crossing locations linking the downtown to the BART station (West Estudillo Avenue, West Joaquin Avenue, West Juana Avenue, and Parrott Street). • Examining the crossings linking downtown and adjacent neighborhoods to the periphery of the BART station (Davis and Williams Streets). • Prioritizing each of the crossings based on design concepts and analysis of San Leandro Boulevard, BART station access/transit plaza, and community input (alternative crossing designs and priorities will be presented to the community and stakeholders for input and comment). • One set of revisions/modifications to the Strategy recommendations, if necessary, to integrate change in crossings, priorities, and primary east-west access corridors. • Expanding the assessment to the west side of the BART station and examine the Strategy's proposed crossing of the railroad spurs and mainline connecting to Alvarado and Orchard Streets, particularly in light of the proposed Crossings development. Deliverables: Working Paper 1-Assessment of Strategy Access and Connectivity Plan, Assessment of Potential Crossings, Recommended Modifications to the Strategy. Meetings: Please refer to Task 1. 2.2 Conceptual Design of San Leandro Boulevard This task focuses on design concepts for San Leandro Boulevard starting with the concept recommended in the Strategy. The purpose is to identify and refine the details of the concept that provide input into the preliminary engineering conducted in Task 4, the implementation plan. This task defines conceptual engineering alternatives and describes the methodology for San Leandro Blvd-BART Interface Plan June, 2009 20 of 38
