CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 17 <br />This meeting also placed additional focus on gaining feedback on pedestrian <br />issues throughout the City. Attendees, using colored push pins, were able to <br />pin specific intersections and corridors where they knew of specific problems <br />and concerns. <br />Comments from the BPAC <br />The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee is a valuable resource <br />for both City and consultant staff to learn and gain critical feedback about <br />walking and bicycling in San Leandro. in addition to having conversations and <br />discussions with these members, staff also reviewed annotated maps, detailed <br />comments and emails, and other forms of feedback from BPAC members <br />and local bicycle and pedestrian advocates/organizations including Bike East <br />Bay and Bike Walk San Leandro. Specific comments from the BPAC included: <br />creating safer routes to schools, bicycle facilities with more separation from <br />moving vehicles, closing gaps in both the pedestrian and bicycle networks, <br />improve pedestrian access to San Leandro BART, and ensuring that crossings <br />are updated with accessible technology for those with mobility impairments. <br />Spring Community Open House/BPAC Meeting <br />After analyzing the existing conditions and plan goals and policies, <br />recommendations for the pedestrian and bicycle networks were proposed <br />at the second Community Open House. Recommendations were crafted to <br />improve safety, close gaps in the networks, and move San Leandro towards <br />an all ages and abilities network. The second Community Open House/BPAC <br />meeting was held in May 2017 at Marina Community Center off of Wicks <br />Boulevard. The focus of this open house was gaining feedback on an early draft <br />of the proposed project recommendations. During this meeting, the public, <br />members of the BPAC, and City staff provided comments on the proposed <br />bikeway network improvements. Over 20 residents attended this meeting. <br />The BPAC discusses existing conditions with consultant staff after the Open House. <br />At the second Open House, attendees had the opportunity to "pin" locations where there <br />are pedestrian concerns. Red pins indicate speeding problems, yellow indicates crossing <br />concerns, green indicates lighting concerns, and blue indicates areas where drivers struggle <br />to see pedestrians. <br />155
