File Number: 22-393 parking in most areas did not reach the critical threshold (indicated by an occupancy of 85% or higher). The parking study revealed that there are more parking spots on the east side of the street and preserving parking on that side allows the Project to keep the most street parking spaces. The results of the parking inventory and utilization survey paired with public outreach helped identify the parking impacts and aided in refining the Project’s cross sections and layout (see Attachment D). The Project team also conducted a speed survey along the corridor (see Attachment E). The results of the survey show that current speeds increase in segments where the roadway widens. Faster automobile speeds increase the severity of pedestrian and bike injuries. The Project design features, including decreased lane widths, visual separations such as intersection bulb outs, and signal coordination along the corridor, should reduce average speeds overall. The Project team is working closely with AC Transit to ensure that these safety countermeasures do not negatively impact transit operations along the corridor. Lastly, the Project team worked with the City of San Leandro staff on the identification of innovative placemaking elements, such as pedestrian plazas, parklets, and public art that have the potential to support local businesses. Some of these improvements could be implemented with the proposed transportation projects, while others are improvements that could be implemented as redevelopment occurs along the corridor.
