City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: September 11, 2017 <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section:File Number:17-483 WORK SESSION <br />Agenda Number:2.B. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY:Keith Cooke <br />Engineering & Transportation Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW:Not Applicable <br />TITLE:Staff Report for East Bay Greenway Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail (Lake <br />Merritt BART station to South Hayward BART station) <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The East Bay Greenway (Lake Merritt BART Station to South Hayward BART Station) is a <br />proposed regional pedestrian and bicycle trail that would extend sixteen miles from Oakland to <br />Hayward through San Leandro. The trail would run along the BART alignment connecting seven <br />BART stations including San Leandro BART and Bay Fair BART. <br />The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is currently leading a <br />multi-jurisdictional planning effort in partnership with the cities of Oakland, San Leandro, and <br />Hayward, as well as the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), Alameda County, East Bay <br />Regional Park District, and Caltrans. This planning effort will result in a corridor alignment, as well <br />as approved environmental documents that will allow the trail to be implemented in phases as <br />funding becomes available. A pilot project has already been constructed in Oakland along the <br />east side of San Leandro Street between 85th Avenue and the Coliseum BART station. In <br />addition, the San Leandro Tech Campus has constructed a segment between former West <br />Estudillo Avenue and Parrott Street. <br />This report is for information only. No action will be taken as a result of this report. <br />BACKGROUND <br />For approximately twelve miles starting south from 47th Avenue in Oakland, the East Bay <br />Greenway project corridor is shared by the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad’s “Oakland Subdivision”, <br />an active but seldom-used freight rail line. The project proposes to convert the Oakland <br />Subdivision into a trail facility. A “rail-to-trail” facility provides the greatest design flexibility by <br />removing all rail infrastructure. If UP elects to continue rail operations, then a “rail-with trail” option <br />is possible assuming required California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) safety setbacks <br />are maintained and parallel public roads are utilized where obstructions limit the alignment <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/6/2017
