10th Street between Webster Street and Oak Street is set to be repaved in late 2021. Recently, the CIty implemented a Slow Street on 10th Street between Harrison Street and Jackson Street with the goal of reducing vehicle traffic and allowing more space for outdoor recreation during the Covid-19 pandemic. This repaving project provides a key opportunity to build on the Slow Streets project, as well as provide more pedestrian space on 10th Street in the busy block between Webster Street and Harrison Street. To the East between Oak Street and 2nd Avenue, the City has grant funding to improve pedestrian crossings, bicycle connectivity, and sidewalks. This will create a safer corridor connecting Chinatown and Lincoln Square with OMCA, Laney College, Lake Merritt, and Eastlake.
Project Goals
• Provide space for outdoor activities and recreation in front of Lincoln Square Recreation Center
• Improve pedestrian crossings
• Improve bicycle connections across 10th Street at bike lane intersections
• Strengthen the pedestrian connection between Chinatown and OMCA, Lake Merritt, and Eastlake
• Expand the pedestrian and outdoor dining space between Webster Street and Harrison Street
