CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 127 <br />2. Davis Street/I-880: This interchange was recently rebuilt by Caltrans. <br />During the rebuild, marked high visibility crosswalks and pedestrian signal <br />heads were added. These are improvements over the previous interchange <br />design, however, cars still speed through the interchange at high rates of <br />speed, and there is no landscaped buffer to increase pedestrian comfort. <br />While improvements will be limited on the elevated portion of the <br />interchange, some pedestrian enhancements can be completed on both <br />sides of the highway. <br />3. Cherry Grove Park: A new sidewalk should be added along the east side of <br />Leonard Drive, on the north portion of the park, to connect to the existing <br />crosswalk and parking area on the south side of the park. An in-pavement <br />lighted crosswalk with pedestrian actuated flashing beacons should also <br />be considered for installation at the intersection of Williams Street and <br />Leonard Drive, near the entrance to the park. <br />Garfield Elementary's frontage on Aurora Drive. <br />C) KEY PEDESTRIAN LOCATIONS <br />The following are descriptions of improvements that should be made at <br />each of the 29 Key Pedestrian Locations. These recommendations will need <br />further analysis and design per accepted local, state and national standards <br />to ensure that they are feasible and appropriate. in addition, a detailed <br />cost analysis will be needed as a next step towards implementing any of <br />the following recommendations. Additionally, through a partnership with <br />the Alameda County Transportation Commission’s Safe Routes to Schools <br />Program, several San Leandro schools (both from San Leandro Unified and <br />San Lorenzo Unified) have recently had school site assessments completed. <br />Some of the recommendations for the schools listed below came from those <br />recommendations. if a school underwent a recent school site assessment (not all <br />schools listed below have), the full improvement plan can be found in Appendix <br />G. Further detail about specific design criteria for these recommendations can <br />be found in the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Design Guidelines. <br />1. Garfield Elementary School: There is a yellow high-visibility crosswalk <br />on Marina Boulevard, which should be repainted to maintain its visibility. <br />School Warning signage should be placed in advance of the crosswalk <br />and School Crosswalk Warning signs should be placed adjacent to <br />the crosswalk to warn drivers of the potential of children crossing <br />at this intersection. Curb extensions should be considered at this <br />intersection (Marina Boulevard/Aurora Drive) to increase the visibility <br />of students crossing at this location and decrease the crossing distance. <br />The Shoreline EiR requires intersection improvements be made at <br />this intersection, which can include the aforementioned treatments. <br />A traffic signal is also planned to be installed at that intersection. <br />Similar crossing improvements should also be considered at the <br />intersections of Aurora Drive/Walnut Drive and Aurora Drive/West <br />Avenue 130th.
