File Number: 22-393 Other opportunities for engagement outside San Leandro included an information item to Alameda CTC’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee in late April, and to the Alameda CTC Paratransit Advisory and Planning Committee (PAPCO) in June, as well as to AC Transit’s Accessibility Advisory Committee on May 10th and to the AC Transit Service Review Advisory Committee on June 7th. Outreach to these bodies was done with the purpose of obtaining feedback on paratransit and people with disabilities travel needs. These groups were interested in the following: ·Safe bike facilities ·Implementation of directional curb ramps ·Implementation of detectable surfaces between mode of transportation right of way ·Safer crosswalks with detectable striping for the visually impaired The public outreach conducted for the project guided the final refinements to the cross sections and layouts of the concept plan presented for Council approval (see Attachment C). Design Elements Considered for the Project Alameda CTC staff has been engaging with local and state agencies along the project corridor to develop a single concept to advance into subsequent environmental and design phases. In San Leandro, the Alameda CTC project team has coordinated with City staff in developing several design options for the implementation of a Class IV bike facility, based on factors such as: ·Availability of street parking spaces ·Predictability for all roadway users ·More direct and better access for cyclists ·Desire to have minimum number of conflict points. Based on those factors, a cross section with a one-way Class IV facility on each side of the street is the option that offers the most benefits as detailed below. To maximize safety, minimize parking impacts, and add bicycle facilities, the proposed cross section reduces the width of the travel lanes to 11 feet for inside lanes and 12 feet for the outside lanes along E. 14th Street; along San Leandro Boulevard, travel lane width is reduced to 11 feet. The Project includes high-visibility pedestrian crosswalks and protected intersections that separate users of each mode of transportation (i.e., pedestrians, bicycles, buses, and automobiles) at these critical locations. In addition, the Project includes bus boarding islands and will evaluate transit signal priority and queue jumps at key intersections to improve transit operations, reliability, and access to BART stations. Refer to Attachment C: Project Concept Typical Plans. While the Project is expected to improve safety and accommodate all users of the street along San Leandro Boulevard and E. 14th Street, there will be tradeoffs that will impact on-street parking. To understand the parking impacts of the Project, the Project team conducted a parking utilization and parking inventory survey. The survey was conducted in November 2021 on two weekdays and two Saturdays for three different time frames during the day (morning, midday, and evening). Results of the parking inventory and utilization survey vary by block, but in general, Page 4 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/15/2022
