June 2025 Update

OakDOT submitted an application for grant funding with a previous version of this project, the San Antonio and Jingletown Neighborhood Connections Plan. In June 2025, Caltrans published awards for its FY 25-26 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant. Unfortunately, the San Antonio and Jingletown Neighborhood Connections Plan application for $700,000 was not selected for funding this cycle. The FY 25-26 grant cycle was particularly competitive. Caltrans received a total of 140 applications with requests totaling approximately $58.3 million, more than double the total available funding of $26.5 million. Of these applications, only 65 were awarded.   

OakDOT will continue to seek funding opportunities. For the Caltrans FY 26-27 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant, project staff will develop this project to focus on the San Antonio neighborhood only.

Background

The San Antonio neighborhood is a dense, diverse community in East Oakland with a strong history of advocacy for safer streets and traffic calming. The neighborhood contains streets and intersections on the City’s High Injury Network that are hot spots for speeding, reckless driving, and sideshows; community members experience poor air quality due to their proximity to major goods movement routes, Interstate 880, and a parallel Union Pacific rail line. While some major active transportation or safety projects are underway or have been completed recently (e.g. East Bay Greenway, International Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit), little work has been done at the neighborhood level to connect road users to multimodal corridors or to create calm streets for local residents. Through this planning effort, the City will collaborate with Community-Based Organizations, stakeholder agencies (including Caltrans District 4, Union Pacific Railroad, public transit agencies, Alameda County Transportation Commission, and others), residents, and businesses in San Antonio to identify streets and locations for improvements, facilitate engagement to reach consensus on multimodal upgrades, and collaboratively develop conceptual designs to advance capital projects that reflect community priorities.
