Future Budget Cylcles
The project includes dedicated bus lanes or bus queue jump lanes, bus stops, signal modifications for transit priority on Ralph Appezzato Parkway between Main Street and Webster Street, which is 0.81 miles. The project will also include curb and gutter including median curb, sidewalk and curb ramp installations, signing/striping, storm drain basins, landscaping/irrigation, lighting improvements and roadway/intersection modifications.
The project is consistent with the Transportation Element of the City's General Plan, which states: “It is important that with the upcoming build-out of Alameda Point and other large scale projects, the City work to reduce the impact of automobile trips on the quality of life for residents and on the easy, safe use of non-automotive transportation modes.” Furthermore, the Transportation Element shows Appezzato Parkway as a street with exclusive transit right-of-way.
The Alameda Point dedicated bus lanes project is a named project in Measure BB for a total of $9 million according to the Measure BB Transportation Expenditure Plan. Out of these monies, an estimated $1,350,000 will be needed for outreach, environmental review and design with the remaining $7,650,000 for construction.
Bus service accomplishments are as follows:
- Webster St. bus queue with over one minute travel time savings. - AC Transit Line 19 peak-period frequencies to 20 minutes. - Realigned Line 96 to better serve Alameda Point and the West End. - AC Transit EasyPasses to Mulberry, Island HS and Alameda Pt employees.
Staff is working with AC Transit and the Alameda Point businesses on improved Alameda Point bus service between the ferry terminals and downtown Oakland/BART, which will use the Appezzato Parkway dedicated bus lanes, and a cross Alameda service between Alameda Point and the east end of Alameda. 2019-2021 CAPITAL BUDGET PROJECT DESCRIPTION
