South MacArthur Initial Design Concept -Plan Options <br />Option A: Angle Parking on West w/Traffic Island <br />+ More bike lanes. <br />+ Mural (on freeway wall). <br />+ (Should have) stop light at pedestrian crossings. <br />+ This area (north/east frontage along freeway) needs some depth <br />to balance the street. A bike lane is appealing because there <br />wouldn't be pedestrians crossing the street. But the bike lane <br />should be extended beyond this block; it needs to go some <br />where! An idea (like this) to create depth is good, with lots of <br />trees and green! <br />+ Use flashing lights (on edge of crosswalks), activated by pedes <br />trians prior to crossing. <br />+ Like the bike lanes, trees, and diagonal parking. <br />+ Island is a great idea. <br />+ Like the diagonal parking on the west and the small median <br />like on Shattuck with parallel on the east side. <br />+ (Should have) angle parking on both sides. <br />+ Option A is much preferable; more attractive and better park- <br />ing for merchants. <br />+ Love the island/angle parking like Shattuck. A+. <br />+ Like the bike lane; make sure it's easy to make the left turn to <br />park on other side. <br />+ Great. <br />+ I would like to have an island median in the MacArthur Blvd. <br />plan (like Option B). <br />+ Okay, if median cut in front of Evergreen site (for access). <br />+ Median is important for safety and enhancement. <br />+ Good, but how will those in northbound lane park on west side <br />of the street? <br />+ Evergreen Property: instead of residential use property for <br />outside mall with more retail shops. <br />+ Pedestrian crossing (should be at south end of island). <br />+ Dedicated bike lane is good but (existing) trees must stay. <br />+ Wonderful. <br />+ Another idea: sketch of angle parking on both sides at "indent' <br />w/no traffic island. <br />+ Creekside enhancement YES! <br />+ Make creek more available. <br />+ Yes (closing Bridge for plaza). <br />+ Good idea (closing Bridge for plaza)! <br />+ Like the trees between every 2 spaces. <br />- Pay attention to entrance to Sheffield Village; work with Oak to <br />dissuade traffic on Marlow Avenue <br />- Extend bike land down (to and around) the Bend: <br />- Put anorth/south crosswakc here (at Dutton/Marlow). <br />- Work with Oakland to close off Sheffield Village to increased <br />traffic. <br />- Need to be able to turn across MacArthur to get to retail on <br />west side. <br />- Will the bike lane be only on the east side so that north and <br />south bike traffic on one side? <br />- Make bike lane a pedestrian lane too! <br />- Need parking and bike shared like on Bancroft; not separate <br />bike lane. <br />- No on A. <br />- No bike lane needed; good idea, but 1 block of bike lane does <br />nothing. Most successful bike lanes go~for miles. <br />- No bike lanes this side. <br />- Don t like bicycle lane. <br />- Big bicycle lane for 11ong block not wise. San Leandro, and this <br />area particularly, is not a bike town. Not enough (potential use) <br />to justify this proposal. <br />- Bike lane in this option is waste of money. Nobody will take all <br />the trouble to bring their bike for less than a mile of ride. It is <br />inconvenient as it abruptly ends at freeway exit at Joaquin. <br />Shared lane as in other option maybe the way to go. <br />- Leave out bike lane. <br />- No bike lane. Prefer shared parallel and bike on east side. If <br />improved and retail is increased need as much parking as <br />possible. <br />- Closing Bridge Avenue (for plaza) creates driving problems for <br />people exiting Casey, Rodney, Collier, etc., wishing to turn east <br />on Estudillo because of traffic blocking the exits at Collier, <br />Morgan, San Rafael, San Jose. The safest way out is to use <br />Bridge to MacArthur and use the traffic lights at MacArthur <br />and Estudillo. <br />- AZ - <br />
