CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 111 <br />A-5 ASSESS AND RELOCATE UTILITIES TO ENSURE ADA <br />COMPLAINT SIDEWALK WIDTH <br />As was mentioned briefly in section A-2, there are some stretches of sidewalk <br />within San Leandro that do not meet minimum ADA width requirements due to <br />utilities, signs, or other street objects that are placed within this right-of-way. <br />During adjacent development projects, street projects/resurfacing, or utility <br />relocation, these sidewalk obstacles should be relocated if possible to ensure <br />at least 4 feet of available space. Alternatives include: moving these objects <br />as much to the side of the sidewalk as possible, undergrounding utilities, and <br />widening the sidewalk. <br />A congested sidewalk with planter, street tree and utility box, constraining sidewalk width for <br />pedestrians, raising ADA concerns. <br />A pedestrian signal head with countdown timer. <br />address citizen needs but should also work to create a prioritized list of signals <br />for upgrades based upon the following criteria: <br />„„Major intersections with medium to high volumes of traffic. <br />„„intersections with turning lanes, particularly if the signal pole and push <br />button are located on a central median island. <br />„„intersections that are not at 90 degrees. <br />„„intersections that are located near schools, parks, youth and senior <br />centers, shopping districts, and transit facilities. <br />249
