PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
Pavement Management for the City's 128 miles of roadways Project Funding
$10,839,000
The City’s pavement management program consists of various preventive maintenance and rehabilitation treatments including crack seals, slurry seals, overlays, and major roadway reconstruction. With 128 centerline miles of streets and a replacement value of $439 million, pavement treatments and candidate streets are carefully selected to maximize the return on our investment.
As part of developing a three-year paving plan, the City has been divided into three zones and projects will rotate throughout the City. Locations and treatments are typically finalized and designed during one year and bid and constructed in the following year. The City sometimes receives grants for specific streets, which are constructed as smaller, separate projects. Other corridor safety projects have pavement management components.
This major construction program will treat approximately 4 to 10 miles of roadway per year. Work will include repair of underlying material, adjustments to concrete as needed to restore drainage (curbs, gutters, driveways, culverts, curb ramps), reinstallation or improvements to pavement striping, and green infrastructure to capture stormwater runoff. This project helps protect and maintain the City’s street surfaces, improve stormwater surface drainage, and improve mobility for all users.
In addition to the annual major construction project, other activities include: master planning, coordination with utility companies and developers, biennial field inspection of pavement condition, updating the GIS database, yearly reporting to funding sources, and grant acquisition and management. Repairs and upgrades will be made in accordance with the City’s Complete Streets Policy, Mobility Element of the General Plan, ADA Transition Plan, and Active Transportation Plan. For FY 25-27, $300,000 is included for additional pothole repairs due to heavy winter storms.
The City treated 6.9 miles of roadway in 2024 and has 10.5 miles planned for rehabilitation in 2025. As a result, the City's overall Pavement Condition Index is 68, which falls in the upper range the "fair" category.
This is an ongoing project. The City's PTAP-23 report found that an investment of $6.2M a year is recommended to maintain the current condition of the roadway network. Lower funding will result in declining conditions. 1The Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account
(RMRA) funding comes from the 2017 California

SIGNS, PAVEMENT MARKINGS, AND CURB PAINTING
This project provides proactive maintenance of the City's inventory of street signs, painted curbs, and pavement markings
Project Funding
$700,000
This project continues the City’s replacement of sign,pavement marking and curb painting assets. Current funding levels support a program that addressed regulatory and safety related signs and markings at City intersections. Each fiscal year, funds are focusedin a zone representing one-fourth of the City. The project typically focuses on the zone that was treated in the Pavement Management Project from the previous year. In FY 24-25, the Sign & Striping Maintenance Project focused on longitudinal lines. The project is expected to return to intersection focused, zone oriented projects in FY 25-26.
A fully funded project would improve safety for all street users and improve neighborhood aesthetics by replacing regulatory signs every seven years, non-regulatory signs every 10 years, pavement markings every five years, and curb painting every 10 years.
Future revenue increases in transportation funds would improve Alameda’s level of servicing these assets, address new assets installed as part of street safety projects and implement any improvements as called out by plans, such as the Active Transportation Plan and Vision Zero Action Plan.
In 2024, Main Street striping and bike lanes were refreshed/added and striping updated on Navy Way and portions of Atlantic Ave.

EMERGENCY VEHICLE PREEMPTION (EVP)
An EVP system gives emergency vehicles a green light at intersections, while stopping other traffic. This helps to reduce response times and the risk of collisions Project Funding
Emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) is designed to give emergency response vehicles a green light on their approach to a signalized intersection while providing a red light to conflicting approaches.
Benefits of using emergency vehicle preemption include improved response time, improved safety, and cost savings.
This project will procure and install the equipement needed at the City's signalized intersections and within fire emergency response vehicles.
The same equipment is also used for Transit Signal Priority Continued investment may be necessary to keep technology current.

Project Description
TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS
This project supports the City's transportation infrastructure through capital replacement and upgrades to traffic signals and associated systems
Project Funding
The City of Alameda has 89 signalized intersections, which have varying levels of capabilities to support traffic operations. This project funds the systematic upgrade of signal cabinets and controllers, 38 of which have reached the end of their useful life or are at high-priority intersections.
It also installs battery backup systems to keep traffic signals operational in the event of a power outage. Where needed, in-pavement detection loops are replaced with video detection. This work will increase system reliability and improve performance, safety and functionality for vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians at these intersections. In addition to traffic signals, this project installs Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons (RRFBs) at unsignalized pedestrian crossings to improve safety and comfort.
This project also supports the ongoing data collection (trafficspeeds and volumes), coordinating with the Alameda County Transportation Commission, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Caltrans, AC Transit, and Caltrans.
The City completed signal upgrades along the Cross Alameda Trail, adding a dedicated bike phase to three intersections. The City continues to replace aging controllers and cabinets, installed battery backup systems and detectors, and coordinated with Caltrans on upgrades to 7 signals and installation of 6 new RRFBs on SR 61.
Continued investment will be necessary to maintain reliability and improve performance. This will include replacement of controllers, cabinets, battery backup systems and video detection.

SIDEWALKS
Maintain sidewalks for pedestrian circulation, increased accessibility and reduced liability claims
Project Funding
Safe, accessible, and well-maintained sidewalks are fundamental to mobility, accessibility and healthy communities. The California Streets and Highway Code, and the related implementing provisions of the Alameda Municipal Code, place primary responsibility for sidewalk condition and repair with the adjacent property owners. Although the adjacent property owner bears primary responsibility for sidewalk conditions and repair, the City’s long-standing practice has been to repair sidewalk damaged by street trees.
The City deploys both concrete cutting and remove and replace methodologies to optimize available funds in removing tripping hazards. Concrete cutting can address vertically offset sidewalks without having to replace the existing concrete. This significantly less expensive method creates a smooth transition and complies with all accessibility requirements. Larger vertical offsets still need to be removed and replaced, as will concrete panels that are crushed or otherwise damaged. The City just recently started using City funds to remove trip hazards with conrete cutting regardless of cause.
If the damage is not caused by a street tree but is otherwise deteriorated, the City notifies the applicable owner of their responsibility to make the repairs. Sidewalk repairs can be costly and are often unexpected if the owner was not aware of their responsibility.
Finding a contractor and getting permits can also place a burden on the owner. To help promote more sidewalk repair work, the City launched a pilot program where instead of sending a letter telling the owner they need to get a permit and make the repairs, we instead offer an option for the City do the work on the owner’s behalf and send them an invoice. This allows potential economies of scale in pricing, and removes the need to find a contractor and get a permit. The program has a financial hardship provision for qualifying property owners to either have the cost waived or paid on a sliding scale.
The program removed more than 7,000 potential hazards during the past two-year budget cycle, including cutting and sidewalk replacement locations.
The City will continue to use the Right of Way prioritization identified in the City's ADA Transition Plan when implementing the sidewalk program

STREET, PARK, AND PARKING LOT LIGHTING
Maintain the City's street, park pathway, and parking lot lighting Project Funding
Public Works is responsible for the over 7,000 street, park pathway and public parking lot lights. Alameda has a diverse mix of light fixtures and poles, some of which date back to the 1800's and are designated historic. Others are decorative while some are traditional "cobra head" style lights.
Now that the street, park pathway and public parking lot lights are LED, service requests for lamps out have declined and response times are quicker. The program's focus now is replacing poles knocked down by vehicle accidents and poles that are deteriorated or in otherwise poor condition.
Staff also completed a survey of light utility box condition, particularly those in travel ways and are making prioritized replacements.
Replaced over 20 street, parking lot and/or pathway poles. Made extensive spot repairs to underground electrical services feeding street lights. Completed replacement of over 90 streetlight utility box lids that otherwise presented a hazard to pedestrians.
Future work and lighting replacements will be based on condition. It is anticipated that additional funding may be necessary in future budget cycles to adequately maintain and repair the City's streetlights.

SEWER REHABILITATION
Replace sewer pipelines and make emergency repairs
Project Funding
The City’s sewer system is intended to protect public health and the environment, maintain customer satisfaction, and be cost-effective.
Consistent with the City’s requirements under Final Consent Decree for Case Nos. C09-00186 and 09-05684, and the City’s Sewer Master Plan, the City rehabilitates approximately 3 miles of sewer main per year for years to come. The City’s Sewer Master Plan contains a 20 year Sewer Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Program with prioritization based on pipe condition and age, areas of known problems, consequence of failure and coordination with other utility projects, among other factors. The City’s ongoing work to clean and video sewer mains also helps to refine, if needed, the prioritization of sewer rehabilitation work.
The City will construct Years 11 and 12, as identified in the Master Plan’s Sewer Rehabilitation Capital Improvement Program. Year 11 construction is anticipated to begin in fall 2025 with construction lasting through August 2026. Year 12 will be designed for fiscal year 2027 and is planned to include two separate contracts, one for sewer replacement within City streets and a second for work in residential backyard easements.
Alameda rehabilitated approximately 6 miles of sewer pipe per plan and in compliance with the Final Consent Decree.
This is an ongoing project. Alameda has a comprehensive sewer rehabilitation plan through 2035.

LAGOON MAINTENANCE
FY2025-27 Investing in Infrastructure
Project Description
This project funds maintenance of the Alameda West Lagoons as a functional storm drainage detention basin while maintaining suitability for recreational use.
Project Funding
$870,000
The Alameda West Lagoon system is composed of five lagoons that receive stormwater from a watershed approximately two square miles in size. The lagoons stretch west to east from Westline Drive to Court Street, between the Gold Coast and South Shore. Lagoon maintenance is continually required due to the aging weirs, lagoon walls, and drainage infrastructure, as well as accumulation of sediment, litter, and leaves within. Bay Farm Island also has a lagoon system running north to south which requires similar maintenance and repairs.
Planned capital projects include design and construction of electrical and structural upgrades to the lagoon intake pump station to fortify the structure against sea level rise and intense storm activity related to climate change.
This project will also continue to fund dredging, water quality monitoring, water quality adjustments, pump maintenance and operation, weir and outfall maintenance and operations, interior lagoon wall repair, and trash/vegetation cleanup as the needs arise.
Capital improvements and ongoing maintenance are paid for partly by Alameda West Lagoon Home Owners Association (AWLHOA) and partly by the City.
Final design, permitting and dredging of Lagoon 5 around the Bayview Weir was performed. Weekly lagoon maintenance continued.
Weekly maintenance and minor facilities repairs will continue. Design and construction of electrical upgrades and structural improvements at the lagoon intake pump station is anticipated in this budget cycle.

Marina and Waterfront Repair
Project Funding
$500,000
Various marinas throughout Alameda are owned by the City, and managed as State Lands Trust property. As such their use is restricted to maritime and waterfront uses, and the properties must ensure public access to the water.
While most of these marinas are leased to private owners who have an obligation to maintain the infrastructure, there are several areas that are not subject to private maintenance agreements. Moreover several of the marina leases will expire in the FY 25-27 time frame and have deferrred maintenance situations that may exceed the financial capabilities of private operators.
The City will conduct a needs assessment of State lands areas that are not required to be maintained by private operators and identify high risk areas requiring maintenance. Remaining dollars will be put towards emergency repairs.
This is a new project for 2025-2027
The results of the initial assessment will help determine requests for future years.
The City will also determine in the current CIP time frame whether private leases can help offset future maintenance needs to reduce the CIty fiscal impact.

Project Funding
$250,000
The Main Library opened in 2006. Since that time, the services the Library offers and the way people use the Library has changed.
To envision the next era of the Main Library, the Library will engage a firm to create a conceptual reorganization of the Main Library, including design plans, furniture package, illustrations, and rough order magnitude costs. There will also be community engagement around the designs.
Most of the furniture currently in use at the Library is original to the building. The wooden chairs and tables are breaking down and unable to be repaired. A fund of $75,000 to purchase chairs and tables is necessary to ensure safe and ample seating for the community. The Friends of the Alameda Free Library are interested in supporting the furniture needs of the Main Library through a targeted fundraising campaign once a complete package is available.

ALAMEDA POINT PIER 2 REHABILITATION
Rehabilitation of Peirs at Alameda Point to stabalize and repair to allow for reengagement and expansion of commercial use.
Project Funding
$5,000,000
Base Reuse and
Economic Development
Piers 1, 2, and 3 were formerly used by the Navy for berthing of large ships.
Approximately 1/2 of Pier 1 is occupied by city tenants. The USS Hornet Air, Sea and Space Museum currently uses approximately 1/2 of Pier 3. Pier 2 is currently closed to berthing of large ships due to deterioration in its pilings and systems from an accumulation of debris and deferred maintenance.
A 2017 inspection and assessment commissioned by the City found Piers 1 and 3 acceptable for current type and level of use although in need of ongoing maintenance; however Pier 2 was found to be in poor to critical condition.
The proposed Pier Rehabilitation Project would be completed in phases:
1. Commissioning of an updated assessment and inspections (above and below waterline).
2. Testing of selected pilings and an updated scope for near-term repairs and cost estimate for full pier restoration.
3. RFP to obtain competitive bids for the recommended near-term repairs to allow for Pier 2 to resume some commercial berthing use by smaller ships and immediate restoration work identified as necessary for Piers 1 and/or 3.
Concurrent business planning work is underway to better understand the types, number, and sizes of vessels that may use Alameda Point piers in the future, identify a the financial return from investment, and advance the reuse plan's goal to create a maritime cluster for job creation and economic development.
Staff completed operating budget work including a preliminary analysis of the status of the piers.
Maritime structures require ongoing maintenance due to the destructive nature of the saltwater environment. It is possible this request is insuffient to complete the capital repairs needed, but this will not be known until a full structural assessment (steps 1 and 2) is completed. There will likely be requests in future fiscal years.

ADA Transition Plan Implementation
City Parks are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities pursuant to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The laws, in tandem with each other, work to ensure that persons with disabilities are not excluded from City services, programs, or activities. To this end, and to ensure an
inclusionary community, City Council adopted an ADA Self- Assessment and Transition Plan in June of 2024.
The ADA Transition Plan provides a phased approach to to resolving the ADA deficiencies identified through the Self- Assessment, the outcome of which will be a more accessible community. City Council funded all of Phase 1 in the 2023-25 budget. This funding represents a partial funding of Phase 2.
The City began Phase 1 barrier removal at City parks.
The Transition Plan is a living document designed to evolve as barriers are resolved, and to capture new barriers as they are identified. Additionally, the Transition Plan serves as a tool that provides regular updates to staff and the public on progress as its made.

STREET SAFETY
Implement traffic calming measures at high priority corridors and intersections to improve safety for all users.
Alameda’s Vision Zero Action Plan includes measurable actions to increase street safety with the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. The City uses crash data analysis, best practices and community input to identify the policies and actions that will be most effective at reducing injuries and fatalities in Alameda.
This project will fund projects to increase street safety for vulnerable users, including daylighting at intersections to improve visibility.
Other safety measures include high visibility crosswalks and other intersection striping, and infrastructure such as curb bulb-outs and pedestrian refuge islands.
The project will implement daylighting on the Tier 3 High Injury Corridors. In addition, the project funds the Fatal Crash Response program to address locations where traffic fatalities have occurred on City streets. www.alamedaca.gov/fatalcrashresponse.
With adoption of the Vision Zero Policy and further data analysis, the City will continue to use a data-driven process to identify priority locations for improving street safety.
Improvements were constructed at the Lincoln / Walnut, Lincoln / 9th, and Willow / San Antonio intersections in response to fatal collisions.
Addtionally, three rectangular rapid flashing beacons were installed along Mecartney Road. Daylighting began on Tier 3 High Injury Corridors and will continue into Fiscal Year 2026.

NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS
Design and construct the Neighborhood Greenways network Project Funding
Neighborhood Greenways are local, traffic-calmed streets designed to give priority to people walking and biking, where bicyclists and motorists can safely share the road and busy street crossings have been made safer. A total of nine streets are planned to be converted to Neighborhood Greenways by 2030 to contribute towards a connected network for people of all ages and abilities, as laid out in the Alameda Active Transportation Plan (ATP).
Implementation is being phased, with Phase 1 being the Slow Street segments of Pacific Ave, San Jose Ave/Morton St and Versailles Ave planned for completion by 2026. In FY 26/27, an additional one mile of Neighborhood Greenways will be planned and constructed.
A toolkit of intersection and corridor traffic calming treatments were developed for Neighborhood Greenways that will be piloted along Pacific Ave from Lafayette to Oak in 2025, modified as needed, and then applied consistently to all Neighborhood Greenway streets. Over time the City will monitor auto traffic speeds and amounts and modify the treatments to meet the target maximum volume and speed for Greenways, as established in the ATP.
City staff launched the implementation of Neighborhood Greenways in 2024, with community outreach and concept design development for Pacific Ave, and typical intersection treatments development. Outreach for the San Jose/Morton and Versailles segments was also conducted.
Construction of the first Neighborhood Greenway segment on Pacific Avenue from Lafayette to Oak will occur by summer 2025.
Development and construction of the Neighborhood Greenways program will expand to all nine streets identified in the Active Transportation Plan, with a goal to have all segements complete by 2030.

Oakland Alameda Estuary Bridge
Advance planning for a bicycle and pedestrian bridge between Alameda and Oakland Project Funding
$524,000
The City, in partnership with the City of Oakland, is advancing the implementation of a moveable bicycle and pedestrian bridge to create high quality multi-modal access between Oakland’s Jack London Square area and west Alameda, over the Oakland-Alameda Estuary. This project is the long- term crossing option identified in the 2009 Estuary Crossing Study.
Today, the only bicycle and pedestrian access is inside the Posey Tube, with a new path to be constructed in the Webster Tube in 2025. Both are very narrow three- to four-foot wide shared walkways, uncomfortable to use and insuffient to meet the demand for walking and biking between the two cities. A new bicycle and pedestrian bridge will provide a safe and convenient sustainable travel option between commercial districts, the downtown Oakland employment center, the residents in both cities, and to and from the BART stations that connect people to the rest of the Bay Area.
The Project Initiation Document (PID), a detailed study completed in 2024, identified the next project phase as a Waterway Study, and grant funding was secured for this. The Study will analyze boat traffic in the estuary and model the waterway currents and alignment, to support defining the height and width parameters for the proposed bridge.
Caltrans awarded the City a $480,000 grant to continue studying the project. The grant requires $44,000 in local matching funds.
A PID was completed, which identified and studied three bridge location alternatives and proposed bridge height and span width, prepared detailed cost estimates, and outlined environmental and permitting requirements. Funding was secured for the next phase: a Waterway Study.
The City will continue working with regional partners to develop this project and secure funding for the construction and long-term

The City is moving forward with a strategy to increase the availability of electric vehicle (EV) chargers citywide by installing public chargers in City-owned parking lots and curbside locations.
This strategy is a priority in both the City’s Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) and the 2019 Strategic Plan (Project CC2). Expanding public EV charging options makes owning an EV more accessible for residents who rent, live in homes without driveways or garages, and those who live in multi-family apartments. Public EV charging can also help attract visitors to Alameda to charge their vehicles and visit Alameda businesses.
In 2024, staff entered into service provider agreements with third party EV charging providers, applied for grants, developed site selection criteria and identified suitable City owned parking lots and site sponsors to implement the curbside program.
Staff will continue to expand public EV charging in City-owned parking lots and curbside locations with MTC Charging Infrastructure Program grant funding.

Project Funding
Previous Allocations
$2,550,000
$305,000
Current FEMA flood maps show the northern shoreline of Bay Farm Island as an entry point for coastal flooding at the 100-year flood event. An existing aged concrete seawall currently protects lower magnitude flood events from entering Veterans Court from the Bay. However, the top of the seawall is at a lower elevation than the 100-year event. Many properties on Bay Farm Island are lower in elevation than the northern shoreline and would be potentially subject to flooding in the event of overtopping or failure.
The northern shoreline area already is experiencing erosion by wave action. The rate of sea level rise is dependent on global carbon dioxide emissions and other factors so it is not possible to determine exactly when the Bay will rise by a certain amount. Areas along the northern shoreline of Bay Farm Island are likely to overtop due to sea level rise. Overtopping at this location is linked to projected inundation that is expected to extend into the adjacent neighborhood.
The Bay Farm Island Adaptation Project is a near-term sea level rise adaptation project to address two feet of sea level rise over the coming decades, bolster the northern shoreline and Bay Trail from erosion, enhance shoreline habitat with nature-based solutions, and enhance public recreation, including improvements to the San Francisco Bay Trail.
The project area includes Bay Farm Island's northern shoreline for the near-term project and the entire Bay Farm Island for the long-term strategy, in concert with the Subregional Long-term Adaptation Plan, including Doolittle Drive/State Route 61, and a portion of east Oakland because all these locations must be addressed to remove Alameda neighborhoods from the floodplain. This project planning effort also includes long-term adaptation strategies for the project area (2080 and beyond).
These funds are intended as fund for grant writing and matching funds for potential grants and to continue to advance the planning and design of this project until more grant funds are obtained.
Webpage: www.alamedaca.gov/AdaptationBayFarmIsland
The project began in 2023 and City Council approved the initial design concept which is equivalent to 10 percent design in January 2024 and paid Community Partners conducted three rounds of community outreach on the initial concept with existing funding provided by a FEMA grant that terminates in October 2025.
The City submitted a$55.5 million FEMA BRIC grant on behalf of OAAC to complete the environmental clearance, permitting, design and construction, which is being reviewed by FEMA.
Design devleopment will continue with up to 30% design on the northern shoreline of BFI by Fall 2025. Paid communtiy partners will conduct additional rounds of outreach and staff will continue to identify grant funds to continue the project through environmental clearance, permitting, design and construction. Staff will continue to coordinate with Caltrans, City and Port of Oakland for necessary imporvements on the Oakland side that will allow Alameda residents to be removed from the FEMA flood plain.

The shoreline in this area is below the 100-year Base Flood Elevation, and overtopping of it results in the flood zone extending down Webster Street and to other surrounding areas. Properties downstream from the shoreline would likely be subject to flooding if the 100-year flood event should occur.
This project focuses on prevention of Bay water from entering the Posey and Webster tubes, properties in the affected area, and roadways providing egress in and out of the area. The project will address address increased coastal, stormwater, and groundwater flooding for up to two feet of sea level rise over the coming decades. The project will include strategies to elevate and adapt low-lying areas of the shoreline combined with green infrastructure such as rain gardens and storm drainage improvements along Alameda's northern shoreline by Marina illage, including Caltrans' Posey/Webster Tubes (State Route 260), and the San Francisco Bay Trail. The rpoject is being designed in concert with improvements to Oakland’s Jack London District and Lake Merritt Channel.
These funds are intended as fund for grant writing and matching funds for potential grants and to continue to advance the planning and design of this project until more grant funds are obtained.

More funding will be needed to continue this project beyond the current grant funding for environmental clearance, permitting, design and construction. The project was included in the 2024 Water Resources Development Act for $30 million for the Oakland and Alameda sides of the Estuary. Appropriations by Congress will be needed to utilize those funds. Requested funding will advance project to 30% design, continue to fund community partners.
The project began in 2023 and City Council approved the initial design concept which is equivalent to 10% design in January 2024 and paid Community Partners conducted three rounds of community outreach on the initial concept with existing funding provided by a FEMA grant that terminates in October 2025. Grant expires February 28, 2025.

Project Description
EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Implement a robust emergency water supply plan to allow for firefighting capabilities when EBMUD experiences localized or widespread distribution failures.
Project Funding
$400,000
Investment in additional components of the Alameda Emergency Water Supply The Fire Department is planning for a comprehensive emergency water supply system to protect the community in the event we have a total or partial loss of the firefighting water supply system. This plan is similar to plans/systems that Berkeley, Oakland, and San Franciso currently have in place to address a similar situation.The proposed Alameda Emergency Water System would help ensure that immediately after an earthquake firefighting resources would have the ability to suppress fires throughout the city and it would also provide for a long-term interim system to protect the city until the EBMUD system is fully repaired.
Additionally, the system would be able to support isolated incidents throughout the city during day-to-day operations that need additional water to suppress a fire (e.g., warehouse fire).
The plan consists of a number of modules for a total $16.4 million. This initial investment will purchase two trailered turn table reels that alow for the quick, mechanical deployment of large diamteter fire hose.
Using the mechanical turn table for large diameter hose requires less labor, making it faster, safer and more efficient for fire staff to deploy the hose.
