CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 117 <br />A mid-block crossing would improve safety and park accessibility for those who park on the <br />east side of Monarch Bay Drive. <br />H. Create a Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossing on Monarch Bay Drive near the <br />Mallard Picnic Area: The closest existing crossing to this area is at Fairway <br />Drive, over 1,200 feet away. This area utilizes parallel parking on both <br />sides of the street, and having a marked, designated crossing location can <br />improve pedestrian access, safety, and visibility here. <br />I. Improve Pedestrian Facilities and Crossings at the Intersection of Fairway <br />and Doolittle: This intersection is where two major streets cross each <br />other, creating long crossing distances for pedestrians. This intersection <br />should be improved by adding curb extensions. The corridors could also be <br />improved by adding traffic calming devices to slow down vehicle speeds, <br />further improving the pedestrian environment. <br />C. Improve the Sidewalks and Curb Ramps within the Residential <br />Neighborhood: The City should analyze the existing sidewalks to identify <br />locations where the sidewalks and the curb ramps need to be replaced. <br />ideally the sidewalks would be a minimum of 5-feet in width and include <br />an adjacent 3 to 4 foot landscaped buffer where width is available. <br />D. Improve Neptune Drive Sidewalks: Continuous pedestrian pathways <br />should be created on both sides of Neptune Drive; currently there is a <br />gap on the east side of Neptune Drive. This segment of Neptune Drive is <br />an access point to Oyster Bay Park. Throughout this segment of Neptune <br />Drive, there are multiple locations where street signs, streetlight/telephone <br />poles, trees, and other objects obstruct the pedestrian pathway. These <br />objects should be relocated or the sidewalk should be expanded around <br />them. <br />E. Improve Pedestrian Crossing at the Intersection of Williams Street and <br />Neptune Drive: This intersection is a key link between the Marina, the <br />adjacent neighborhood, and Oyster Bay Park. A T-intersection with two <br />driveways at the top of the “T,” this intersection should be improved with <br />marked crosswalks, curb ramps that aren't shared with driveways, and the <br />clearing of the obstruction on the northwest leg. <br />F. Improve West Avenue 130th Pedestrian Facilities and Accessibility: At <br />both the intersections of West Avenue 130th and Neptune Drive and <br />West Avenue 130th and Marina Court, there are no curb ramps present. <br />Curb ramps should be added to improve the accessibility of these streets. <br />G. Improve Pedestrian Facilities and Accessibility on Pescador Point Drive: <br />Sidewalks are missing on the east side of Pescador Point from Monarch <br />Bay Drive to the McLure Boat Launch restrooms. This gap in the sidewalk <br />should be filled to increase the safety of pedestrians and increase the <br />accessibility of this part of the marina. <br />255
