The project <br />improves the southern east to west pedestrian connection running along West Juana Avenue for <br />approximately 1,100 feet. Sidewalk bulbouts and enhanced crosswalk treatment will be added along <br />West Juana at the intersections of Carpentier, Clarke and Hays Street. Sidewalk on West Juana Avenue <br />between San Leandro Boulevard and Carpentier Street will be widened to provide for comfortable <br />pedestrian travel. Pedestrian level lighting will be extended from the downtown down West Juana <br />Avenue towards the BART Station. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />D. Impediments to Project Completion <br /> <br />This project is no longer directly coordinated with adjacent private development and therefore there are <br />no impediments to project completion at this time. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />E. Operability <br /> <br />The City will continue to operate and maintain the improvements once completed as the project does not <br />substantially increase the amount of public facilities. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
