3 CROSSTOWN CORRIDORS DESIGN VISION <br /> San Leandro Crosstown Corridors Study 3-15 <br />Streetscape Improvements <br />Because of the industrial context and generally exposed character, streetscape <br />improvement recommendations center on potential for urban greening and <br />improved shade cover on Williams Street. <br />• Additional Street Trees are recommended to supplement existing <br />trees and expand the tree canopy along Williams Street. <br />• Landscaping and/or Green Infrastructure are recommended at <br />new bulb outs and in the proposed buffer between the travel lane <br />and the bicycle lane. Future design phases should evaluate the <br />grading, drainage, and other local conditions to determine which of <br />these areas are suited for the installation of green infrastructure <br />elements, such as rain gardens or linear stormwater planters. <br /> <br />While there are some mature trees in front of Halkin and John Muir Schools, Williams <br />Street generally lacks tree cover, resulting in exposed and hot conditions especially <br />during warmer months. <br /> <br />Example photo of a green stormwater bioswale in a pedestrian bulb-out. Plantings are <br />low to ensure visibility of the crosswalk while greening the environment and providing <br />stormwater recapture. <br /> DRA <br />F <br />T
