etailed Project Description (include definition of deliverable segment if different from overall pr
oject/subproject)
Stargell Avenue is a high-speed collector road between Main Street and Mariner Square Loop in the City of Alameda, with two distinct segments. The section between Main Street and 5th Street is two lanes, with 14-foot travel lanes that only have bicycle sharrows and the street lacks a sidewalk on its north side. Two unsignalized crossings, which connect students to 8 local schools, are feared and sometimes avoided by the residents due to speeding drivers and failures to yield. Bordering this section of Stargell Ave, which is within an Equity Priority Community, are multiple affordable housing communities. On the east end, between Fifth Street and Mariner Square Loop, which is five to five lanes wide, Stargell is bordered by the College of Alameda, and a major shopping center (Alameda Landing), and connects to State Route 61 (Webster Street) which provides auto and transit access from Oakland. To the west of Main Street, Stargell connects to the developing former Naval Air Station (NAS) - now called “Alameda Point”- where the County’s largest supportive housing community is located and new housing, jobs, parks and businesses are flourishing and growing.
Exhibit 1
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report
The project will close a nearly three-quarter mile gap in the bicycle and pedestrian networks on Stargell Avenue between Main Street and Mariner Square Loop by:
• Building a Class I bicycle path and separate sidewalk in City-owned vacant land on the north side of Stargell from Main St to 5th St.
• Slowing auto speeds by narrowing the travel lanes to 12 feet and adding horizontal deflection. • Adding Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) and pedestrian refuge islands at two uncontrolled intersections, to reduce the safety barrier this busy street creates. • Adding lighting along the new bike path and sidewalk, and at intersections, to increase physical and personal safety and visibility at night.
• Adding new trees and creating bioretention areas within the remaining vacant land, to meet the County stormwater requirements, protect local runoff water quality and mitigate climate change.
• Adding a westbound Class IV bikeway from 5th St to Mariner Square Loop, where the street is much wider, and only a striped Class II bike lane exists. • Adding two new bus stop pairs to support a re-routed AC Transit bus line which will start in mid- 2025, with bus boarding areas and amenities.
• Intersection improvements at 5th and Stargell, to increase safety and allow people biking to more easily access the existing Class I path in this segment.
The City is pursuing funding via a separate project to install a roundabout 5th St and Stargell Ave.
Pending funding for that project, the City will refine the Stargell Project plans to replace the Stargell/5th intersection enhancements with the roundabout. All other project elements would remain the same. c. Impediments to Project Completion
At this time, there are no known impediments to project completion.
d. Risk Management (describe risk management process for project budget and schedule, levels of contingency and how they were determined, and risk assessment tools used) For a project this size, the City uses a spreadsheet tool to identify and monitor risks to both schedule and budget during project implementation. Regular meetings between City engineers and planners, and project consultants ensure that risks are identified early and addressed. The project budget includes 20% of overall contingency on construction items, which is typical practice for a project in the concept design phase.
The City has a risk management plan for potential soil contamination. During the preliminary engineering phase, the City conducted an Environmental Site Assessment. The project is located on the site of land owned by the former Naval Air Station. The report concluded that the areas of construction fall within three existing site management plans developed during earlier land development in the area.
During PS&E, a detailed plan for compliance with these existing site management plans will be developed and construction budget has been allocated for potential mitigations in accordance with those plan.
e. Operability (describe entities responsible for operating and maintaining project once completed/implemented)
Regional Measure 3 Initial Project Report
The City of Alameda Public Works Department will be responsible for operating and maintaining the project once complete.
