• City of San Leandro FTA No. 74A0834 Attachment II Page 1 of 7 SCOPE OF WORK: San Leandro Creek Trail Master Plan INTRODUCTION The proposed San Leandro Creek Trail Master Plan is an effort to develop a plan,design concepts,and implementation strategy for a multi-use path along the San Leandro Creek in the cities of San Leandro and Oakland.This project will build on several years of preliminary outreach and analysis of the corridor,through which Merritt College engaged hundreds of community residents;over a decade worth of effort by the Friends of San Leandro Creek to restore a thriving riparian corridor within Oakland and San Leandro;and many other efforts by a diverse group of stakeholders.The Master Plan effort will consolidate and expand on this work to further broaden stakeholder involvement,build critical organizational partnerships,and conduct a more in-depth analysis of the opportunities and constraints associated with developing a multi-use trail in this unique corridor.Special emphasis will be given to including residents and organizations that focus their efforts on disadvantaged communities,particularly the Sobrante Park and Columbia Gardens neighborhoods in Oakland.Primary project partners in this effort include the City of San Leandro;City of Oakland;Rails-to-Trails Conservancy(RTC);San Leandro Creek Alliance(a coalition of local stakeholders);Merritt College;and a consulting team. The San Leandro Creek Alliance has served as the forum for ongoing meetings of a diverse group of project partners,including the cities of San Leandro and Oakland,East Bay Regional Parks District,Merritt College,BART,Alameda Flood Control District,Friends of San Leandro Creek,National Park Service,and RTC.Friends of San Leandro Creek has recently secured a technical assistance grant from the National Park Service Rivers,Trails,and Conservation Assistance program to support the intensification of the outreach efforts,resources which will provide a valuable complement to the Master Plan effort proposed through this application to Caltrans. The purpose of the project is to develop a project master plan and feasibility analysis.
