In the vicinity of <br />the project site, Bancroft Avenue has an average daily traffic volume of between 9,200 and <br />13,100, and Estudillo Avenue has an average daily traffic volume of between 11,500 and 15,100 (San Leandro 2016a). The site is within 0.5 miles of the intersection of Estudillo Avenue and East 14th Street, where there are two major bus routes—AC Transit Routes 1 and 10—with frequencies of less <br />than 15 minutes during commute hours, and qualifies as a major transit stop. In addition, AC Transit <br />Route 40 runs adjacent to the project site along Bancroft Avenue and provides peak service every 15 minutes, and AC Transit Routes 34/35 run adjacent to the project site on Estudillo Avenue and provide peak service every 30 minutes. The site is also approximately 0.75 miles from the San <br />Leandro BART station. Estudillo and Bancroft avenues both have Class II bike lanes, which provide <br />a striped lane for one-way bicycle travel in both directions.
