The project will add a 3 -mile long High- Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane to 1 -880 <br />southbound from Hegenberger Road in Oakland to the Marina Boulevard exit in San Leandro. <br />As part of the project, the 1 -880 interchanges at Davis Street and Marina Boulevard will be <br />reconstructed to allow for the wider freeway. Unfortunately, the project will, for the term of <br />construction, disconnect the fiber optic cables at the east end of the overcrossing on Davis <br />Street, thereby eliminating communication to all of our traffic signals and facilities west of <br />1 -880. <br />By adding fiber optic cables on Washington Avenue between Springlake Drive and Fargo <br />Avenue, the communications going through Davis Street to Doolittle Drive will be routed <br />through East 14th Street, Hesperian Boulevard, Halcyon Drive, Washington Avenue, Fargo <br />Avenue, Farnsworth Street, Manor Boulevard, Wicks Boulevard, Merced Street, Williams <br />Street, and back to Doolittle Drive. The result will be the establishment of a complete <br />redundant fiber optic ring throughout the city. This will allow Engineering staff to maintain <br />communication with traffic signals and facilities located west of 1 -880 during the construction <br />of the 1 -880 HOV project. <br />The work will include pulling fiber optic cable on Washington Avenue between Halcyon Drive <br />and Fargo Avenue. The 288 - strand fiber will be pulled through existing conduit underneath <br />the 1 -880 freeway. New splice connections will be made at the terminations at all signals and <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 711012012 <br />
