1 INTRODUCTION <br /> San Leandro Crosstown Corridors Study 1-2 <br />1.2 Community Engagement and <br />Study Process <br />Community engagement was divided into three phases, illustrated in <br />Figure 1-1. <br />Phase 1, in the summer of 2021, focused on learning about mobility needs , <br />travel behaviors, and overall visions for each corridor. This phase <br />corresponded with the technical analysis and field observations of <br />existing conditions. <br />Phase 2, during winter of 2022, focused on collecting feedback on a <br />preliminary concept design through surveys and open houses. This second <br />outreach phase corresponded with the technical analysis of two design <br />alternatives, including parking, landscaping, and transit benefits and <br />trade-offs. <br />Phase 3 focused on additional outreach to confirm the vision and refine the <br />plans, culminating in a tactical urbanism demonstration at three locations in <br />August 2022 where portions of the roadway were temporarily modified to <br />preview potential bikeway enhancements for the day. During this phase, the <br />project team took a deep dive into specific comments on the concept plan, <br />tweaking and refining the final concept presented here. <br />The Crosstown Corridors community engagement process included a unique <br />partnership with Bike East Bay and PilotCity, who together facilitated the <br />leadership of 10 high school ambassadors over two summers in both 2021 and <br />2022. These high school ambassadors played a central role in succe ssful <br />distribution of outreach materials, conversations with residents, and <br />preparation for the final pop-up outreach event in August 2022. <br />Ensuring that the community engagement process is accessible, all materials <br />in print and online were available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Live <br />interpretation in Spanish and Chinese was available at all pop -ups, meetings, <br />and open houses. <br /> <br />Figure 1-1 Community Engagement and Study Process DRA <br />F <br />T
