14th Avenue Streetscape (BID ADVERTISEMENT)
The 14th Avenue Streetscape project, located from E. 8th/E. 12th Street to 27th Street, will provide safe access and mobility for all modes, including vehicles, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users. Improvements will include signal pole upgrades, roadway reconfiguration and repaving, as well as updates to improve the pedestrian environment, including crosswalks, pedestrian lighting, and landscaping.
The 1-mile span from E. 8th/E. 12th Street to 27th Street is a major east-west corridor that connects International Boulevard and Highland Hospital. Redesigning the street will increase the corridor's transportation capacity and efficiency, allowing all types of travelers to reach Oakland jobs and commercial centers in the Dimond District, Downtown, and at Highland Hospital. This project also includes bus stop improvements along the corridor to improve rider experience.
14th Street Safety Project (CONSTRUCTION)
This stretch of 14th Street represents one of the densest concentrations of traffic injuries and deaths in the City of Oakland. These tragic and preventable collisions, injuries, and deaths are a daily barrier to mobility for all, and a barrier to 14th Street operating as the center of a calm and walkable Downtown. The goals of this project are to:
- Invest in safety improvements for all people who use 14th Street
- Improve the connection to Downtown for people walking, biking, and taking transit
- Install string lighting or pedestrian-scale sidewalk lighting on 14th Street to improve nighttime visibility
- Add parking to the 14th Street area by installing angled parking on 13th Street, which will add up to 55 parking spaces
- Improve transit reliability for the 14 line, one of the busiest bus lines in Oakland
27th Street Complete Streets (BID AWARD)
This project will implement a high-quality, all-ages-and-abilities bikeway in the Broadway-Valdez District, from Bay Place at Grand Avenue to 27th Street at Telegraph Avenue. This will include two protected intersections, facilitating safe and comfortable left turns for bicyclists, reduced pedestrian crossing distances at intersections, and green infrastructure treatments.
The City of Oakland will implement the 0.6-mile project by leveraging private development in the corridor, spurred by the Broadway-Valdez District Specific Plan. Private development projects, including a keystone 18-story mixed-use building at 24th & Harrison, will implement segments of the protected bikeway as required by conditions of approval. A pedestrian plaza will also be developed at the 27th & Harrison intersection by simplifying it into a 4-way intersection, reducing delay and safety conflicts for all modes.
42nd Ave & High St I-880 Access Improvement Project (RIGHT OF WAY)
The 42nd Avenue & High Street project will improve, widen, re-orient, and extend existing local roads to improve street connectivity and freeway access, as well as improve pedestrian & ADA accessibility and open parcels west of I-880 to economic development.
This project includes construction of traffic signals at six intersections, traffic striping, pavement markings, signage, storm drainage, and lighting.
66th Avenue BART to Bay Trail (DESIGN)
This project seeks to finally create a connection from East Oakland to the Shoreline for people walking and biking - on 66th Avenue between San Leandro Street and Oakport Street. 66th Avenue is in many ways the most direct connection between a wide array of East Oakland neighborhoods and the Bay Trail/MLK Jr. Regional Shoreline. The upcoming Coliseum Connections project will complete a key segment of the East Bay Greenway on San Leandro Street, which will provide a direct bicycle connection to the eastern end of the project area at 66th and San Leandro Street. From there, the project will extend west past the entrance to the Oakland Coliseum at Coliseum Way, and over the Caltrans 880 freeway bridge to the entrance of the Shoreline and Bay Trail at the intersection of 66th Ave and Oakport Street.
Broadway Streetscape Improvements (DESIGN)
The Broadway Streetscape Improvement project will make enhancements to bus operations, pedestrian safety, and the city's fiber optic network on Broadway between 2nd Street and 11th Street and 20th Street to Grand Avenue. Improvements include:
- Red bus-only lanes to extend the existing bus-only lanes and further improve transit access and reliability
- Transit Signal Priority (TSP) at all signalized intersections to help keep the signals green for approaching buses to improve reliability
- New bus shelters, seating, and trash cans at bus stops
- Additional street trees, landscaping, and public seating along the corridor
- Broadway/I-880 underpass enhancements with lighting and placemaking elements to invite people to travel between neighborhoods with more comfort
- Removal of the existing slip turn at the 6th Street and Broadway off-ramp intersection to mitigate high-speed vehicular right-turns and poor sight lines between freeway off-ramp drivers and pedestrians in the crosswalk
- Upgrading traffic signals and providing protected left turns to increase safety
- Repaving the road
Broadway Transit Lanes (COMPLETE)
This project will implement dedicated transit-only lanes on Broadway between 11th Street and 20th Street in downtown Oakland. The project includes red transit-only lanes, high visibility crosswalk markings, signage and striping improvements, bus stop relocations, concrete roadway repair/replacement in limited locations, and pavement rehabilitation designed specifically for a heavy transit route.
Transit-only lanes will improve transit reliability and on-time performance in the Broadway corridor, which sees up to 50 buses an hour during peak periods. Bus service on Broadway connects passengers to a range of destinations within Oakland and within Alameda County, including Berkeley and San Leandro.
Calm East Oakland Streets (DESIGN)
The goal of the Calm East Oakland Streets Project is to create slow, calm, and inviting streets for people to walk or bike to neighborhood destinations such as schools, libraries, Recreation centers, parks, and corner stores. The Project will fix broken streets and sidewalks and improve safety on residential streets by slowing vehicle speeds and decreasing cut-through traffic. This project will calm traffic and curb aggressive driving while simultaneously increasing access to pleasant walking & bicycling on four (4) key street corridors in East Oakland:
- Hamilton St - Rudsdale St - D St - Royal Ann St between 69th Ave to 105th Ave
- Foothill Blvd - Arthur St - Plymouth St between 64th Ave to 79th Ave
- 81st Ave between San Leandro St to Bancroft Ave
- 85th Ave between San Leandro St to Bancroft Ave
Chinatown 9th Street Complete Streets Project (DESIGN)
The Chinatown 9th Street Complete Streets Project will complete 100% designs for the 1-mile corridor on 9th Street from Castro Street to Fallon Street. OakDOT is currently engaged in a planning and concept design effort related to 9th Street as part of the Chinatown Complete Streets Planning process (CCSP). Current initial designs developed as part of that effort focus on traffic calming and a lane reduction throughout the corridor, and may include added bike lanes, angled parking, widened sidewalks, and potentially pedestrian “flex” spaces which may be used for vending, sidewalk cafes, or other purposes. Enhanced pedestrian crossings (including pedestrian scrambles which are unique to Chinatown), signal modifications, and a potential conversion of 9th Street from one-way to two-way will further improve access to businesses and services on 9th Street. Context-sensitive elements, such as human-scale lighting, signage, landscaping, and street art, will preserve and enhance existing community activities in these neighborhoods.
East 12th Street Bikeway (BID ADVERTISEMENT)
The East 12th Street Bikeway will fill the gap of a continuous bike route on the International Boulevard corridor from downtown Oakland, through East Oakland, to the Elmhurst neighborhood - a distance of six miles. This gap is the direct connection to Fruitvale BART from neighborhoods to the east of the station. Completing this project is a priority of the City's Master Bicycle Plan.
The bikeway will help build momentum for the East Bay Greenway by providing a near-term, on-street bike route between 35th Ave and 54th Ave. Additional improvements include the installation of over 40 ADA-compliant curb ramps along E 12th St. and pavement rehabilitation and preservation along E 12th St and 54th Ave to eliminate and prevent hazardous conditions for bicyclists.
The project is composed of the following segments:
- E 12th St (40th Ave to 44th Ave) - two-way protected bicycle lane (0.25 miles)
- E 12th St (44th Ave to 54th Ave) - bicycle boulevard/neighborhood greenway (0.55 miles)
- 54th Ave (E 12th St to International Blvd) - bicycle boulevard/neighborhood greenway (0.20 miles)
- E 12th St (35th Ave to 40th Ave) - buffered bicycle lanes (0.30 miles)
- 35th Ave (E 12th St to Fruitvale BART Station entrance) - buffered bicycle lanes (0.10 miles)
East Bay Greenway Segment II (CONSTRUCTION)
This segment effectively builds momentum for the completion of the East Bay Greenway through Oakland, and will provide an important bicyclist and pedestrian connection along San Leandro Street, which is currently a forbidding environment for non-motorized traffic. The project will:
- Improve cycle and pedestrian network connectivity in communities along the BART line
- Improve access to regional transit, schools, downtown area, and other destinations
- Create a facility that is accessible and comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities
- Improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians
- Support the promotion of a multimodal transportation system and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
East Oakland Mobility Action Plan (EOMAP) (PLAN COMPLETE)
The East Oakland Mobility Action Map will focus on working with East Oakland residents, community-based organizations, and businesses to plan priority projects that will enhance transit, pedestrian, and bicycle-friendly facilities in East Oakland. With the opening of the East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the International Boulevard Corridor scheduled for 2018, the objective of this study is to identify priorities and create concept designs for a suite of improvements that can provide safe mobility throughout the neighborhoods.
The planning study proposes a year-long effort of community outreach to look at areas within a half-mile walk-shed of the East Bay BRT from Seminary Blvd south/east to the City border. The study will revisit the priorities of the East Oakland Community-based Transportation Plan (2007), as well as Oakland's Bicycle Master Plan (2012 Update), and Pedestrian Master Plans (2016 Draft), with the aim of identifying high-priority locations and corridors for systematic upgrades.
Draft study objectives are to examine physical planning issues such as:
- Standard pedestrian enhancements along major corridors connected to International Blvd BRT stations
- Confirmation of priority bicycle treatments, including design of family-friendly community bikeways
- Specific redesign of streets to reduce traffic speeds and over-capacity, particularly streets like 73rd, which enable near highway-like travel speeds over safety for bicyclists and pedestrians
- Integration of AC transit planning to enhance cross-town service connecting to BRT
- Safe Routes to Schools walk audits and improvement strategies
Fruitvale Alive! Gap Closure (CONSTRUCTION)
The Fruitvale Alive! Gap Closure Project will install raised cycle tracks (Class 4) between Alameda Avenue and E. 12th Street along Fruitvale Avenue. It will also widen sidewalks, improve pedestrian crossings, add pedestrian-scale lighting, landscaped buffers, remove conflicting vehicular through, and slip-turn lanes to increase safety. For more information, visit the Fruitvale Alive! project webpage.
LAMMPS Phase I: Laurel Access to Mills Maxwell Park and Seminary (COMPLETE)
Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park and Seminary (LAMMPS) Streetscape Project will improve safety and access for pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic along MacArthur Boulevard from High Street to Richards Road (0.6 miles). The improvements will include the replacement of existing pavement, sidewalks, curb ramps, medians, islands, traffic signals, streetlights and crosswalks, traffic lanes reconfiguration, new bike lanes and multi-use trail, and two new traffic signals.
LAMMPS Phase II and Phase III: Laurel Access to Mills Maxwell Park and Seminary (DESIGN)
Building off of LAMMPS Phase 1, the Phase II and Phase III project will install a separated, off-street shared-use path and streetscape improvements around the Northeastern University Oakland campus (formerly Mills College) on MacArthur Boulevard from Richards Road to Seminary Avenue, and on Seminary Avenue from Camden Street to Sunnymere Avenue. The funded improvements will enhance traffic safety on the City’s High Injury Network (the 8% of streets in Oakland responsible for 60% of the City’s severe and fatal injury collisions) and will help Oakland residents reach key destinations in East Oakland without needing to use an automobile.
Lincoln Elementary Safe Routes to School (COMPLETE)
This project would design and construct improvements for Safe Routes to School in the vicinity of Lincoln Elementary School, including:
- Curb extensions and high-visibility crosswalks at the intersection of 11th Street and Harrison Street.
- Curb extensions and high-visibility crosswalks at the intersections of 10th and 11th Streets and Jackson Street.
- Curb extensions at 10th Street and Harrison Street.
- A loading zone at the school frontage.
MacArthur Smart City Corridor (CONSTRUCTION)
This project will extend the existing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) network with fiber cable to 62 traffic signals along 13 miles of MacArthur Boulevard and adjacent roadways. Improvements will enhance mobility for all modes, including queue jump lanes and transit signal priority for buses; pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle detection for enhanced signal performance; curb ramp and sidewalk for pedestrian accessibility; and communications for remote traffic operations, monitoring and signal maintenance.
This project also includes central hub network upgrades at the City Transportation Management Center and other communication hubs, and development of a TSP performance monitoring interface for Oakland's traffic signal system.
- Phase 1 consists of 10.5 miles of fiber interconnect and 44 signalized intersections along Lakeshore Blvd, E. 18th St, Park Blvd, MacArthur Blvd, Foothill Blvd, and 98th Ave.
- Phase 2 consists of 2.5 miles of interconnect and 18 signalized intersections along 40th St (from Market St to Broadway) and W. MacArthur Blvd (Market St to Santa Clara St).
MLK Jr Way Complete Streets Paving Project (DESIGN)
This project will provide bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and traffic calming improvements on MLK Jr Way between 47th Street and the City border at 61st Street. Key components of the project include: reducing the street from 6 to 4 travel lanes, separated bike lanes between 52nd Street and 61st Street, 10 bus boarding islands at all AC Transit bus stops, and new Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) at four intersections. These improvements respond to traffic collision patterns and feedback from residents for the City to prioritize pedestrian and bicycle safety throughout the corridor. The Project will calm speeding traffic upwards of 60mph (30mph speed limit) through a road diet, which in turn will provide the space to install a Class IV bike lane suitable for all ages and abilities. This Class IV bike lane will be constructed with concrete wheelstops, which dramatically reduces the cost of the Project compared to using concrete islands. The Project will also shorten crossing distances, reduce pedestrian exposure to vehicles, create a new crosswalk at 51st Street, and will install 4 PHBs at 51st Street, Arlington Street (Line 12 bus stop), 58th Street (connection to Sojourner Truth senior housing), and 61st Street (connection to Line 12 bus stop).
Oakland Bike Share Expansion (COMPLETE)
The Oakland Bike Share Expansion Project will expand the regional Bay Area Bike Share program to the City of Oakland. The planned service area in Oakland consists of 700 bicycles circulating among 70 stations in an area including Downtown Oakland, Lake Merritt neighborhoods, Telegraph Ave corridor, Broadway corridor, West Oakland, Jack London Square, and Fruitvale. It will be contiguous with Berkeley's planned Bay Area Bike Share service area. For more information, visit the Oakland Bike Share webpage.
Oakland Mobility Transportation Demand Management (OakMob TDM) (COMPLETE)
The OakMob TDM Project will use a personalized marketing approach to engage residents in the forthcoming AC Transit BRT corridor to increase walking, bicycling, and car sharing while reducing the number of single-occupancy car trips. All households and businesses in the target area will be contacted with personalized information, support, and incentives to encourage residents to change their travel behaviors.
The 2-year program will serve as a pilot and look for opportunities to fully expand into a city-wide permanent program. The program is intended to reach all participants within the project area and deliver OakMob transportation kits to 50% of residents and business owners within the program area.
The proposed scope of work includes:
- Project Initiation: Consult supportive local and government organizations in the project area.
- TDM – Personalized Marketing Strategy: Compile a directory of households and businesses in the area, develop a marketing brand for OakMob, engage with participants and deliver OakMob kits, evaluate program success with identifiable metrics, and develop a plan for scaling to a city-wide permanent program.
- Community Engagement: Coordinate at least 4 community walks or bike rides per year, table at up to 10 local events per year or at BART/major transit stations.
- Communications: Update website on an ongoing basis, send electronic and paper newsletters.
- Administration: Administrative record of the project, meeting notes and action items for bi-weekly team meetings, quarterly reports.
Oakland Traffic Management Center Upgrade (CONSTRUCTION)
The Oakland Traffic Management Center Upgrade project will evaluate and upgrade the existing Oakland Traffic Management Center for better traffic signal coordination within the City. It will install a new server with more computing capability to run upgraded applications, replace network switches, and install security software to assist with system management and maintenance. The project would connect the traffic signal coordination and management system for traffic signals in the Tempo BRT Corridor and for other TSP-equipped bus lines operating in the City of Oakland into the Traffic Management Center.
Speed Camera Implementation (BID AWARD)
The City of Oakland will deploy 18 Speed Safety Camera Systems across the City, with cameras positioned to enforce both approaches of traffic on two-way roadways. Camera systems are planned to commence operation in 2025 and be in place for at least five years. All camera systems will adhere to the specifications outlined in California Assembly Bill (AB) 645. Systems will be deployed at the following 18 locations across the City of Oakland. The City will oversee speed-related data collection and evaluation at each site, installation (and the relocation/removal) of camera systems, operations and maintenance of camera equipment and software, staff training, and management of data and records from camera systems.
West Oakland Transit Improvements (DESIGN)
This project proposes up to 14 bus stop access improvements to ensure West Oakland bus stops meet minimum standards. It also proposes funds to create a blueprint for expanding the EasyPass Program to provide transit access to low-income West Oaklanders.
This project involves two components both designed to reduce barriers to transit:
- Transit access: upgrades to as many as 14 bus stops in West Oakland, along with the removal of unused railroad tracks at one location.
- Transit passes: planning funds to develop a proposal to extend low-cost institutional transit passes to West Oakland communities, as well as a pilot of the EasyPass program.
