This <br />project included two construction contracts, one for the installation of electronic bicycle lockers <br />at the San Leandro BART station and one for the streetscape work involving the construction <br />of sidewalk bulb outs, decorative crosswalks, and storm drain improvements on West Juana <br />Avenue. As West Juana Avenue is an important pedestrian connector street between the San <br />Leandro BART Station and Downtown San Leandro, this project is listed as a high priority in <br />the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and is consistent with the City’s Transit <br />Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy. <br />Measure B Bicycle/Pedestrian Countywide Discretionary Funds, a Regional Measure 2 (RM2) <br />grant and a Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) grant funded the project. These grants <br />covered 78% of the project cost. <br />The electronic bicycle locker work was bid and completed first and has been accepted. The <br />streetscape work was bid second and is the subject of this Council action. The project <br />constructed sidewalk improvements along West Juana Avenue, including bulb outs, enhanced <br />decorative crosswalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps and storm <br />drain improvements. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 6/1/2016
