Bayfair Center <br /> includes key anchor stores such as Macy's, Kohl's, and Target as well as <br /> restaurants, a movie theater and weekly farmer's market.

Traditionally the <br /> City has had a number of food service and manufacturing businesses. Recently, <br /> because of its convenient location to freeways, major roadways, and transit, the <br /> City has attracted more office /high -tech businesses. There are two large <br /> manufacturing and industry areas, West San Leandro and Marina Avenue and <br /> South of Marina Avenue, which house a number of large -scale businesses. These <br /> areas typically have not been priority areas for pedestrian or bicycle <br /> improvements and have the need for improvement. Creekside Plaza is multiple - <br /> building complex with over 234,000 square feet of office space located at the <br /> corner of Davis Street and San Leandro Boulevard. This complex was <br /> strategically located adjacent to the Downtown San Leandro BART Station to <br /> encourage transit ridership. <br /> Hospitals are a significant source of employment to any community. San <br /> Leandro has the San Leandro Hospital campus of Eden Medical Center located <br /> on East 14 Street at 138` Avenue; a new Kaiser Hospital is under development <br /> on Merced Street between Marina Boulevard and Fairway Drive. <br /> Page 6 <br />
