This plan focuses on ways to improve access and mobility for low-income and minority communities. The City of San Leandro is included in the Central County CBTP Study Area, in which 6 pop-up events were held and 228 surveys were collected. This outreach provided the following findings and focus areas regarding the local roadway network in the City from the community: • Better access to frequent and affordable transit, • Better personal safety for pedestrians and cyclists, • Better driving reliability and travel times. These findings were then translated into priority projects in the CTP: • Improve safety and transit quality through multimodal corridors that are within or provide access to San Leandro’s CBTP study areas: o E 14th Street/Mission Boulevard Corridor Projects o Downtown San Leandro Streetscapes o East Bay Greenway • Improve safety and multimodal access within and to San Leandro’s CBTP study areas: o San Leandro Creek Trail o Rail Safety Enhancement Program o San Leandro BART Station Area Safety Improvements These findings and focus areas were taken into consideration in the creation of the LRSP. Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools (SR2S) Program Safe Routes to School is a countywide programmatic commitment, improving infrastructure and organizing and supporting activities that teach and encourage families to safely walk, bike, carpool, or take transit to schools. As part of the Safe Routes to School program, the County is taking a Safe Systems Approach which includes the following strategies: • Improve Safety on the High-Injury Network, with an eye towards community disparities • Support context-appropriate speed limit setting and automated speed enforcement policies
