CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 3 <br />for a bike share program and locations for additional short and long-term <br />parking have also been developed. <br />Bicycle-related policy changes related to educational programs, enforcement, <br />maintenance, and other areas are provided in Chapter 5 of the Plan. <br />Pedestrians <br />San Leandro has nearly 200 miles of roadway, which corresponds to a <br />widespread adjacent pedestrian network. The state of the pedestrian network <br />varies greatly throughout the city. Much of the city is a very walkable and <br />pedestrian friendly environment, composed of small blocks, complete <br />sidewalks, street trees and accessibility features. However, there are areas <br />of the city that are missing sidewalks, street trees, or accessibility features. <br />Additionally, barriers such as railroad crossings, wide intersections, and free <br />right turn lanes, limit the connectivity of the pedestrian network. <br />This Plan evaluates and presents the existing pedestrian network and future <br />improvement strategies at three levels: Citywide, Pedestrian improvement <br />Areas, and Pedestrian Key Locations. <br />Citywide Improvements include: <br />„„ADA Transition Plan <br />„„Sidewalk surface assessment and repair <br />„„Curb ramp upgrades to meet ADA standards <br />„„Signal upgrades to meet Accessible Pedestrian Signal Guidelines <br />„„Updated push buttons on pedestrian activated signals <br />„„implement, maintain and enforce parking restrictions at intersections and <br />crosswalks (daylighting) <br />„„implement streetscape enhancements <br />„„Utilizing the new Crosswalk improvement and Scoring Policy <br />„„Studying the removal of free right turn lanes, also known as slip lanes <br />„„improving access to transit <br />Eleven Pedestrian Improvements Areas are presented in the Plan. These <br />areas were chosen for their proximity to important destinations, need for <br />connectivity improvements, or potential for future development. Seven of <br />these areas were previously identified in the 2004 Plan and four are new to <br />this update. They include: <br />1. San Leandro Marina <br />2. Westgate Center <br />3. Kaiser Development Area/The Spine <br />4. Manor Boulevard <br />5. Washington Avenue <br />6. Downtown San Leandro BART Station <br />7. East 14th Street Corridor <br />8. Bancroft Avenue / Dutton Avenue <br />9. Bay Fair BART Station <br />10. MacArthur Boulevard <br />11. Estudillo Avenue – i-580 Underpass to Anthony Chabot Park <br />12. Hesperian Boulevard <br />Key Pedestrian Locations identify improvements at specific locations. These <br />areas require further analysis to determine specific design solutions. Twenty- <br />nine locations were identified, including the following: <br />1. Garfield Elementary School <br />2. Davis Street/i-880 <br />3. Cherry Grove Park <br />141
