CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 113 <br />An unmarked crosswalk along East 14th Street near Euclid Avenue. <br />A-9 CROSSWALK IMPROVEMENT AND SCORING POLICY <br />The City of San Leandro (at time of print) was developing a crosswalk <br />policy to aid City staff in tracking requests for new crosswalks/crossing <br />improvements, scoring these potential crossings, and prioritizing these <br />crosswalks for implementation. This policy, intended to change with new <br />best practices and facility improvements, will be the guiding document that <br />the City uses to determine how to improve pedestrian crossing facilities that <br />are not a part of other capital improvement projects. <br />The Crosswalk improvement and Scoring Policy can be found in Appendix E. <br />Curb extensions, street furniture, ladder crosswalks and street trees make this segment of <br />MacArthur Boulevard more pleasant to walk along. <br />A-8 IMPLEMENT STREETSCAPE ENHANCEMENTS <br />Streetscape enhancements are pedestrian improvements beyond the <br />minimum standard that help to create an enhanced pedestrian experience <br />and contribute to the overall livability of the City. Streetscape enhancements <br />include pedestrian-scaled lighting, street trees and landscaping, street <br />furniture, colored or decorative paving, and decorative crosswalks. in addition, <br />traffic calming measures are often employed to reduce crossing distances and <br />traffic speeds and increase visibility of pedestrians crossing the street. <br />Streetscape enhancements should be prioritized for locations adjacent to major <br />destinations identified in Figure 5 in Chapter 1. Streetscape enhancements <br />should be of a similar palette to the improvements that have been recently <br />installed in Downtown San Leandro and in the MacArthur Boulevard <br />Pedestrian improvement Area. <br />251
