File Number: 22-393 connecting roadways to BART stations, including Fairmont Drive, A Street, and Tennyson Road. The near-term implementation would provide a continuous bicycle facility suitable for all ages and abilities, and would incorporate multimodal safety, transit, and placemaking elements. The Project can be constructed in 3-5 years, dependent on funding for the construction phase. The goals of the Project are to: ·Provide safe, Class I or Class IV (to the extent feasible) options for biking for all ages and abilities ·Improve safety by physically separating bicyclists from high speed, high volume vehicular traffic to the extent feasible ·Create a continuous north/south bike facility connecting seven BART stations ·Create more opportunities for pedestrians and people with disabilities to cross the street safely by implementing high visibility crosswalks and pedestrian beacons as well as implementation of directional curb ramps, when feasible ·Improve transit reliability and multimodal access to regional transit, schools, downtown areas, and major activity centers ·Improve multimodal access to BART stations ·Reduce greenhouse gas emissions The Project implementation strategy includes the following elements: ·High-quality pedestrian facilities and bicycle facilities for all ages and abilities: The Project proposes implementation of Class I and Class IV (to the extent feasible) bicycle facilities along major streets. In San Leandro, improvements are proposed along San Leandro Boulevard and East 14th Street, as well as on the streets connecting to the BART stations such as Fairmont Drive. Intersection crossings will also be improved with shorter and safer crosswalks. Whenever feasible on major intersections, the design includes protected intersection or dedicated intersection elements for bicyclists consistent with National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design guidance. ·Transit reliability and access: The Project is considering targeted rapid bus infrastructure that will improve access to transit, reliability, and reduce delays at bus stops. The improvements potentially include transit islands, installation of Transit Signal Priority (TSP), and queue jumps where buses enter/leave the corridor to access BART stations. ·Placemaking to support economic development: The Project proposes to support economic development opportunities and enhance existing neighborhoods through complementary design elements that would expand pedestrian space, support urban greening elements, increase public use of the street, increase visual identity, and create opportunities for activating adjacent properties, such as surface parking and vacant lots. The Project also evaluates available parking and curb management to support multimodal treatments and business activity. The placemaking element goal is to create a cohesive, visual identity for the corridor while also highlighting the unique character of specific districts.
