AC Transit to explore and implement ideas that create a "Complete Transit Experience" for San Leandro citizens that include a more encompassing and frequent east -west service that allows transit users to reach locations such as BART, BRT, shopping and work centers in a convenient and timely manner. AC Transit as soon as possible is to explore the means and feasibility of extending BRT along the length of East 14 Street to Bay Fair BART insuring the flexibility of adding this segment in the future. Alternative 2 Select Option 2: an LPA that is modified and eliminates elements of the original LPA which was introduced by AC Transit at the May 31 st joint meeting that ends dedicated lanes at just south of Broadmoor Boulevard and relocates stations to shorten walking distances to senior housing locations as shown in Exhibit 2; and, the following conditions: AC Transit to offer a continuous service on East 14 Street that allows riders to travel between the northern and southern San Leandro borders without a need to transfer buses.
