Executive Summary <br />5 <br />Once the San Leandro Creek Trail Master Plan is completed, the next steps <br />would involve securing funding and more public process. It should be noted <br />that identifying a lead agency to manage and implement this project is a <br />critical next step moving forward. Additional work/study would be needed at <br />various locations, as mentioned in Chapter 6 and 7, where physical feasibility <br />of construction needs to be determined. Additional study will also be needed <br />in the segments where there are no consensus established. Once the project <br />is approved, environmental documentation would be needed. The project <br />then enters the design stage and necessary permitting is acquired. Once the <br />engineering documents are in place, the project would enter the construction <br />phase. <br />The following chapters are included in this report: <br />Chapter 1 Project Overview: This chapter provides a description of the study <br />area as well as its history. It Introduces the groups that have collaborated to <br />make the trail possible and the benefits that creating the trail would bring to <br />the surrounding communities and the San Leandro Creek. <br />Chapter 2 Public Outreach: This chapter outlines the public outreach process <br />used to engage the community , and summarizes the input collected through <br />this process. The summary of each meeting that was held for the public are <br />included in this section. <br />Chapter 3 Existing Conditions: This chapter reviews the characteristics of the <br />community in the project vicinity, including population density, household <br />income, poverty levels, school age population, senior population, recreational <br />areas, property ownership, and land use. This section also describes how the <br />San Leandro Creek Trail would connect to other bicycle facilities. <br />Chapter 4 Segment Analysis: This chapter gives a description of each segment <br />of the trail and analyzes each one to break down their strengths, weaknesses, <br />opportunities, and concerns. <br />Chapter 5 Best Practices: This chapter provides a guide for potential facility <br />designs that could be incorporated into the San Leandro Creek Trail. Included <br />are different facility types for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well safety <br />measures and amenities that could improve the development of the trail. <br />Chapter 6 Route Alternatives: This chapter explains the alternative routes that <br />were drafted for each segment and lists their pros and cons. <br />Chapter 7 Final Recommended Alignment: This chapter focuses on the final <br />recommended alignment and provides selected alternative routes that <br />could be considered. This chapter also discusses the environmental impact <br />and provides an overview of the culture and history of the project segment. <br />A cost estimate is also provided. <br />Chapter 8 Wayfinding: This chapter explains the benefits of providing a <br />wayfinding system consisting of maps, markers, and signs, and provides <br />standards for each sign. <br />Chapter 9 Plan Execution: This chapter outlines methodology once the project <br />is ready for development and construction and provides a recommendation <br />on what order the segments should be constructed. This chapter also provides <br />information on funding resources that are available. <br />13
