BAY FAIR TOD SPECIFIC PLAN <br />East 14th Street <br />The design recommendations for East 14th Street are intended to prioritize transit circulation, given <br />the high level of transit activity and the street's designation as one of AC Transit's Major Corridors. <br />In support of transit, safe and convenient pedestrian accommodations are also an important <br />consideration for East 14th Street. Caltrans owns and maintains East 14th Street (also known as <br />State Route 185) through the Plan Area; any proposed changes require Caltrans approval. Specific <br />design guidelines for East 14th Street in the Plan Area are included below. <br />East 14th Street Design Guidelines <br />1. COUNTY COORDINATION. All East 14th <br />Street improvements should be made in <br />active coordination with Alameda County <br />and Caltrans, ensuring design treatments <br />integrate to the greatest degree possible <br />with adjacent segments of East 14th Street <br />located in Alameda County. <br />2. BUS PRIORITY TREATMENTS. Traffic <br />operation measures that prioritize transit <br />bus movement along East 14th Street are <br />encouraged; examples include transit <br />signal priority, queuejumps and bus bulbs. <br />4 Ml Ll <br />of wroe <br />r <br />r�a�slr <br />r—, <br />Q <br />j <br />Bus <br />3._p. <br />(Shelter <br />In <br />Bug <br />L <br />ff �� bistance r <br />5ldow:0- <br />Example ofa Bus Bulb facility design from the Central <br />County Complete Streets Implementation Design <br />Guidelines <br />56 <br />3. BUS STOP PLACEMENT. The placement of <br />bus stops at the far side of intersections is <br />encouraged to place pedestrians crossing <br />the street behind the path of the moving <br />bus. <br />4. ON -STREET PARKING. Midblock on -street <br />parking should be maintained where <br />adjacent to existing commercial uses. <br />5. INTERSECTION TURNING RADII. At <br />intersections, tighten turning radii to <br />shorten pedestrian crossing distances and <br />reduce vehicle speeds. <br />6. PARALLEL BICYCLE FACILITY. Sharrows <br />are discouraged along East 14th Street <br />due to its high traffic volumes and transit <br />activity. A network of parallel local streets <br />is recommended to provide a safe and <br />comfortable route for bicyclists. <br />7. PEDESTRIAN REFUGES AT INTERSECTIONS. <br />At intersections, narrow the left turn lane <br />to provide space for a pedestrian refuge <br />area in the median. <br />n�"a1Ao- <br />.W. ft— . <br />4EDESUW 9EFM IS[AW <br />6 .p- 10 16 -0' wa' <br />Example ofpedestrian refuge atan intersection <br />
