105th Avenue between International Boulevard and Edes Avenue is set to be repaved in 2026. Repaving offers a chance to improve safety for everyone who travels on this street.
In the last 5 years, there were 40 crashes on this stretch of 105th Avenue, including one person who was killed while walking. Most crashes were caused by speeding and other reckless driving behaviors like not stopping at lights.
To improve safety for everyone who travels on 105th Avenue, this paving project will include features designed to slow traffic, including:
- high-visibility crosswalks
- crosswalk safety islands
- speed cushions (like speed bumps)
- concrete islands in the median
- painted buffer next to the bike lane
The project will also remove the unused railroad tracks that run down the middle of the street from International Boulevard to San Leandro Street.
OUTREACH & CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS
Staff will begin outreach in spring 2025 and expects to complete the project designs by the end of 2025.

NEARBY PROJECTS
OakDOT's Calm East Oakland Streets Project will calm traffic and curb aggressive driving while also increasing access to pleasant walking & biking on four key corridors in East Oakland, including nearby D Street and Royal Ann Street.
The East Bay Greenway Project, managed by the Alameda County Transportation Commission, is a proposed regional trail that will link BART stations throughout the inner East Bay. This Project will make improvements to the 105th Avenue intersections surrounding the elevated BART tracks.
