Bay Fair BART via Class IV corridor study on <br />Hesperian Boulevard. Pedestrian improvement areas at both <br />BART stations. <br />• Separated Bike Lane Network: Separated bike lanes or studies are <br />recommended for Estudillo Avenue, Doolittle Drive, E. 14th Street, <br />and San Leandro Boulevard, key intersections to the low-stress bike <br />network for Bancroft Avenue and Williams Street. <br />San Leandro 2035 General Plan <br />The San Leandro 2035 General Plan supports the development of a <br />comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian transportation system as an alternative <br />to vehicle trips—improving safety, connectivity, and awareness. The Bancroft <br />corridor is identified as a high priority area for bicycle and <br />pedestrian improvements. <br /> <br />CPBST San Leandro Workshop Summary and <br />Recommendations (2020) <br />The San Leandro Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) <br />was a collaboratively planned virtual event co-hosted by the City of San <br />Leandro, Cal Walks, and SafeTREC to improve walking and biking conditions <br />on Williams Street and gather community input on plans for a Class IV <br />separated bike lanes.
