168 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />Rolled curbs throughout the city allow for easy encroachment by vehicles. <br />of the City’s focus on school safety, an extra point was given to projects <br />that provide/enhance access to schools. <br />„„Walkability (Total of 2 Points) - This category ranks how the project would <br />improve the pedestrian environment and walkability. Points were awarded <br />if the project would include pedestrian amenities or gathering places that <br />encourage walking. <br />„„Funding & Implementation (Total of 7 points) - This category ranks projects <br />based upon their potential to acquire funding and to be easily implemented. <br />Points were awarded to projects that could be implemented without <br />further study, would not require coordination with agencies outside the <br />city, or would not require extensive modifications for implementation. <br />Point were also awarded if the project was supported in other plans or <br />projects, had extensive community support, and was eligible for outside <br />funding sources. <br />PEDESTRIAN PROJECT PRIORITIZATION <br />Project Definition <br />The recommended pedestrian projects are organized based upon the <br />Pedestrian improvement Area or Key Pedestrian Location within which they <br />are located. The proposed projects are summarized in Table 19 below. The <br />table outlines important information for future implementation, including a <br />range of construction cost estimates and priority scoring. <br />PROJECT METHODOLOGY <br />This methodology was tailored specifically to address pedestrian network <br />issues, and was revised based upon input from City staff and the BPAC. Each <br />of the pedestrian projects was evaluated based upon the five categories listed <br />below using the Pedestrian Prioritization Sheet which is included in Appendix <br />B. Each project could receive up to a total of 24 points. <br />„„Accessibility (Total of 3 points) – This category ranks how accessibility <br />would be improved by the project. Points are awarded for improvements <br />that create accessibility in previously inaccessible areas, remedy city-wide <br />barriers to pedestrian connectivity, and that go above and beyond the <br />minimum requirements. <br />„„Safety (Total of 5 Points) - This category ranks how pedestrian safety <br />would be improved by the project. Points are awarded to projects that are <br />located adjacent to schools, within an area with a high pedestrian collision <br />rate, and include design features to increase pedestrian safety. Because of <br />the City’s focus on safety, this category was weighted to provide additional <br />points for projects that meet these safety criteria. <br />„„Connectivity (Total of 7 points) - This category ranks how the project <br />would improve connectivity. Points are awarded to projects that are <br />located near schools, major employment centers, major shopping centers, <br />libraries, parks and recreation facilities, and major transit routes.
