84 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />Davis Street and I-880 interchange from the Westgate Center. <br />DAVIS STREET CLASS IV STUDY <br />Davis Street, State Route 112, is a key east-west connector at the northern <br />edge of San Leandro. Davis Street also has a heavily used i-880 interchange <br />that has a heavy volume of truck/freight traffic. This study corridor runs <br />between Oyster Bay Park and East 14th Street. <br />One segment of Davis, between the BART tracks and East 14th Street, could <br />be a continuation of existing bike lanes that stop around the area the Union <br />Pacific and BART tracks. This segment of Davis Street could provide an <br />additional connection from San Leandro BART into downtown San Leandro. <br />The current roadway configuration changes as Davis Street approaches San <br />Leandro Boulevard, as the eastbound travel lane changes from two through <br />lanes and an intermittent turning lane to two through lanes and two left and <br />one right turning lanes. To accommodate bicycle lanes in this segment of Davis <br />Street, a reduction in travel/turning lanes or parking lanes may need to occur. <br />Another constrained segment of Davis Street is between the BART tracks <br />and Doolittle Drive which provides a connection to the Westgate Shopping <br />Center and improves access to Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline (riders can use <br />Davis, Doolittle, Williams, and Neptune to reach the park). Between west of <br />the BART tracks and east of i-880 interchange, Davis Street has Class ii bike <br />lanes. There is potential and good reason to study enhancements to these <br />bicycle facilities to buffered bike lanes or Class iv facilities. This segment of <br />Davis Street can be especially dangerous for bicyclists because of the i-880 <br />interchange and high volume of truck traffic. Highway on and off ramps also <br />pose serious safety and speed concerns for all active transportation users; it <br />is critical that safety, access, and connectivity for these users be considered in <br />the design of these areas. <br />222
