Phase 2 will place approximately 175 additional banners in six <br />locations: <br />1. Bancroft Ave (Durant to Oakes) <br />2. Hesperian Blvd (Springlake to E. 14th) <br />3. MacArthur Blvd (Durant to Superior) <br />4. MacArthur Blvd (Dutton to Estudillo) <br />5. San Leandro Blvd (Williams to Washington) <br />6. Wicks Blvd (Manor to Burkhart) <br />Analysis <br />Street banners enhance the streetscapes by adding a vibrant element that enlivens key corridors <br />and the mobility of experience for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers. They also <br />strengthen a sense of place and identity. Staff worked with the City’s Graphics Supervisor to <br />develop preliminary designs of four new street banners. The goal is to utilize colorful iconic San <br />Leandro imagery that evokes a sense of place and beautifies public spaces. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/12/2017
