Andre Soucy, Transportation Planner, will share an overview of the TDA program, the status of previously-awarded and ongoing TDA projects in Oakland, and the current proposals to request funds to implement TDA-eligible improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists. The applications are due June 13th.
Charlie Ream, OakDOT Project Manager, will provide an update on the Grand Avenue Complete Streets Paving Project which is set to deliver safety improvements along with planned repaving of Grand Avenue from Broadway to Mandana Blvd. There are three main segments of the Project, Uptown (1), Adams Point (2), and Grand Lake (3). OakDOT is currently seeking input on the future roadway configuration in Segment 2 - Adams Point, which is a core connection for people walking and biking between Downtown Oakland and East Oakland. The Project team has performed traffic studies and transit analyses that show minimal impacts from the removal of either one lane of Westbound traffic, or the removal of one lane of traffic in each direction on Grand Avenue between Bay Place and El Embarcadero. OakDOT will present two options for the Adams Point segment for discussion with commissioners. Also at this meeting, OakDOT will present the current proposals for Segments 1 (Uptown) and 3 (Grand Lake) and go over the project schedule. For more info, see: www.oaklandca.gov/projects/grand
