SAN tp San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan ta , Chapter 3: BICYCLE NETWORK ° R " - Connections to Regional Bikeways and Adjacent Jurisdictions While bicycle connectivity within the City of San Leandro is the main focus of this plan, connections to the regional bicycle networks and adjacent communities are also important. After all, bicycle trips do not always end at the city limits. Regional Bikeway Networks in San Leandro There are several routes on the San Leandro bikeway network that have been designated as routes of county or regional significance (Figure 9). The following bikeways are included on both the Alameda Countywide and San Francisco Regional bikeway networks. • Bancroft Avenue - Hesperian Boulevard- Fairmont Drive (generally north to south with section on Fairmont Drive running east to west). • Doolittle Drive - Farallon Drive -Wicks Boulevard - Lewelling Boulevard (generally north to south with section on Lewelling Boulevard running east to west). • Lake Chabot Road - Estudillo Avenue -Davis Street (east to west). San Leandro bikeways that are included on the Alameda Countywide network include: • Hesperian Boulevard from Fairmont Drive to Springlake Drive. • San Leandro Boulevard from San Leandro Creek to Washington Avenue. • East Bay Greenway from Oakland city limits to eastern city limits (Hesperian Boulevard). San Francisco Bay Trail in San Leandro San Leandro contains segments of the San Francisco Bay Trail along the San Leandro waterfront between Oakland to the north and San Lorenzo to the south. The Bay Trail facilities are also included on the Alameda Countywide and Regional Bikeway networks. Most of the Bay Trail consists of Class I bike paths with the exception of a short segment of Class Ill bike route on Neptune Drive between the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline and Marina Boulevard. Included in the Bay Trail network are path loops around Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline, Mulford Point, and the Small Boat Lagoon in Marina Park. Much of this alignment has paved or unimproved pathways but most do not meet the standards for Class I bike paths. The recently completed San Leandro Bay Trail Slough Bridge provides a much needed connection for the Bay Trail between San Leandro and Oakland. Connections to Adjacent Jurisdictions The San Leandro bikeway network was designed, in part, to provide connection to facilities in adjacent communities. Figure 9 shows the locations of these connecting facilities. Page 26
