SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN TRANSPORTATION Action T-5.2.F: Improvements to Marina Boulevard and Merced Street Pursue funding for the widening of Marina Boulevard from four to six lanes from Orchard Avenue east to Alvarado Street. In addition, implement design improvements to Marina Boulevard between Merced Street and the Shoreline, and to Merced Street between Williams Street and Fairway Drive. These improvements should create a more attractive streetscape, better provisions for bicycles and pedestrians, and landscaping and lighting improvements which enhance these streets as major thoroughfares. Policy T-5.3 Maintenance. Regularly maintain City streets and traffic control devices to ensure that streets operate safely and efficiently. The City will strive for an overall Pavement Condition Index of 76, which is the lower limit of industry best practices. Action T-5.3.A: Funding for Maintenance Ensure that sufficient funding is allocated to road maintenance and repair during the annual municipal budgeting process. Consider the use of voter-approved tax measures (such as Measure HH) and other financing tools to generate revenue. Policy T-5.4 Traffic Flow Improvements. Use a variety of technology-driven measures to improve traffic flow at congested intersections. Action T-5.4.A: Traffic Monitoring and Signal Timing Conduct traffic monitoring at key intersections in San Leandro. Based on the monitoring data, undertake signal timing, phasing projects, adaptive traffic signals, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve traffic flow, safety, and roadway and intersection performance. Policy T-5.5 East-West Circulation. Strive to improve east-west circulation across San Leandro without adversely impacting residential neighborhoods. Encourage signal timing, signage improvements, turn lanes, and other measures which improve circulation but do not involve major physical changes or traffic increases on residential streets.
