132 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />A series of highway underpass for I-238 over Hesperian Boulevard near Lewelling Boulevard. <br />The intersection of San Leandro Boulevard, Park Street, and Best Avenue, is an asymmetrical <br />partially stop controlled intersection near Siempre Verde Park. <br />19. 150th Avenue/Hesperian Boulevard/Bancroft Avenue/East 14th <br />Street Intersection: This wide intersection has not had recent <br />pedestrian improvements. Curb extensions, curb ramp improvements, <br />high visibility crosswalks, and pedestrian refuge islands will <br />make this intersection safer and more accessible for pedestrians. <br />The city is currently in the process of improving the traffic flow and safety <br />as a part of the San Leandro Triangle Project. The city is also exploring the <br />possibility of eliminating one leg of the triangle to create a wider, more <br />comfortable pedestrian plaza. <br />20. Hesperian Boulevard/Lewelling Boulevard Intersection: Where space <br />exists, the City should analyze if it is possible to remove free right turn <br />lanes and widen the existing central medians to provide pedestrian refuge <br />islands for pedestrians who are crossing this wide intersection. <br />21. San Leandro Boulevard/Park Street/Best Avenue Intersection: This <br />intersection is located next to the very popular and recently rehabilitated <br />Siempre verde Park. At this intersection, no crossings are marked and only <br />traffic from Best Avenue and Park Street are stop-controlled. Both crossing <br />and traffic calming improvements are necessary at this intersection <br />to improve pedestrian safety and visibility, especially, because of the <br />increased presence of families and children enjoying Siempre verde Park. <br />Through a resurfacing project, the City is reconfiguring San Leandro <br />Boulevard and this intersection to improve overall traffic safety. <br />22. Freeway Undercrossings for I-238, I-580, and I-880: San Leandro has <br />three freeways that run through it: i-238 in the Bay Fair area, i-580 in the <br />east, and i-880 running through the middle of the City. When the crossings <br />are established with underpasses, the City should work with Caltrans to <br />improve pedestrian facilities in these areas including sidewalks, lighting, <br />and traffic calming; especially, if there are freeway ramps nearby. <br />270
