About

Oakland residents and visitors use 27th Street, Bay Place, Harrison Street, and Grand Avenue to travel to Lake Merritt, grocery stores, places of worship, and more. Residents here commute by biking, walking, and public transit more often than other Oaklanders. 15% of residents in the area walk or bike to work, and 34% take transit.

The 27th Street Complete Streets Project (27th Street between Telegraph Avenue and Harrison Street, and Bay Place between Harrison Street and Grand Avenue) includes:

• Protected intersections and 27th Street and Broadway, and 27th Street and Harrison Street
• Concrete-protected bike lanes on 27th Street from Telegraph Avenue to Harrison Street
• Buffered bike lanes on Bay Place from Harrison Street to Grand Avenue
• Removal of slip-turn lanes at Harrison Street and Bay Place

The 27th Street Complete Streets Project is scheduled to begin construction in Summer 2026!
