It <br />provides non-vehicular connectivity between key destinations, i.e., golf course, restaurants, <br />hotel, and recreational venues within the Shoreline area. It also improves a portion of the <br />regional San Francisco Bay Trail system by physically separating the currently shared route used <br />by motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists through the area. The City is seeking federal funding <br />assistance for the design and construction of a new bicycle and pedestrian pathway. <br />Descr~tion of the Project (no limit): The City-owned and operated San Leandro Shoreline <br />provides a recreational destination for residents of San Leandro and neighboring communities <br />and a way station for Bay Area residents enjoying the benefits of the San Francisco Bay Trail as <br />it follows the coastline north from Hayward. Understanding the importance of the Shoreline- <br />Marina location and wanting to enhance <br />the areas uses of non-automotive means <br />of travel, in 2003 the City commissioned <br />a study of land use and connectivity _ <br />known as the "San Leandro Marina <br />Connections Plan". A key goal of the ~-~ <br />study was the improvement of the <br />circulation system to promote walking `: <br />and bicycling as primary modes of travel <br />in the Marina area. Bicycles are <br />encouraged in the Marina for local <br />transportation and accessibility area-wide <br />to reduce auto use. For longer trips <br />around the area, bikes will be provided ~--~-~-: <br />with a network of dedicated shared pathways to facilitate their use. Pedestrian circulation would <br />be supported throughout the site with pathways either dedicated exclusively to pedestrians or in <br />limited areas shared with non-motorized vehicles. <br />Follow enclosed Instructions.
