San Leandro Commercial Broadband Strategy 880 Industrial Corridor This area can be generally described as the industrial properties on either side of Interstate 880, south of Davis Street and north of Manor Boulevard, between Doolittle Drive on the west and Alvarado Street on the east. As in Downtown San Leandro, property and business owners report problems obtaining commercial or industrial grade broadband service. 880 Industrial Corridor CITY OF SAN LEANDRO - eS Priority Area 880 Industrial Corridor The map analysis supports this perception. There is only one AT &T Project Lightspeed node in the area, although there are others in adjacent residential areas. Likewise, Comcast's ability to serve this area is limited. The CPUC data indicate that there are gaps in land line -based broadband service, although it also shows that at least one carrier is reporting that it provides 1 Gbps service to at least one property on the east side of Alvarado Street. The state -of -the -art Kaiser Medical Center which is currently under construction is an example of one of the businesses in this area that will benefit from improved service availability. Shoreline Following the general pattern of broadband availability decreasing west of I -880, areas along the San Leandro shoreline have less access to commercial and industrial grade broadband service than most other parts of the City. In particular, the CPUC data show a fall off in available service levels along Monarch Bay Drive and the Marina area. High quality broadband service to the shoreline area will be particularly important in the future because planning is underway for a substantial development project at that location. A conceptual master plan developed by Cal -Coast Companies and a 30 -plus member Citizens Advisory Committee includes plans for a 200 -room hotel, a 15,000 square foot conference center and a 250,000 square foot office campus, in addition to 16 July 2012 TellusVenture Associates Page 14
