Project Details

The 2nd Street Transit Hub project will create safer and easier transit connections on 2nd Street from Clay Street to Alice Street. It will link four AC Transit bus routes, the SF Bay Ferry terminal, and the Jack London Amtrak Station. The project will achieve these goals by:

Providing a bus shelter with seating and real-time transit info on 2nd Street between Clay Street and Washington Street
Improving lighting, sidewalks, crosswalks, and wayfinding
Locating bikeshare and micromobility parking (bikes, scooters, etc) nearby
Connecting a one-block gap in the bike lane
Upgrading bus stops with bus pads and layover amenities for transit operators
Connecting Jack London Square to BART and Downtown Oakland with the upcoming Broadway Streetscape Improvements project

Background

OakDOT defined the 2nd Street Transit Hub project through planning and engagement efforts with community members. This includes Downtown Oakland Specific Plan (2019) and the Howard Terminal Transportation Plan (2020). From Fall 2023 to Winter 2024, the project team met with key stakeholders to align project goals with current community needs and to inform the conceptual plans. This project is funded by the CalSTA Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP).
