RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SUBMITTAL OF A FUNCTIONAL
CLASSIFICATION CHANGE FOR LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS TO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FOR 8TH STREET FROM WOOD STREET TO MARKET STREET
WHEREAS, incorporated cities are responsible for initiating requests to the California Department of Transportation for changes to the functional classification of streets and roads under their jurisdiction (Functional Classification Change); and WHEREAS, the City of Oakland receives State and Federal road improvement and maintenance funding based on street and road designation; and WHEREAS, said Functional Classification Change for 8th Street from Wood Street to Market Street from Minor Arterial to Local Street has been reviewed and examined by the City Council of the City of Oakland; and
WHEREAS, 8th Street from Wood Street to Market Street primarily serves local traffic, is not a transit corridor, and adjacent land use is primarily residential. Following construction of the 1-980 Freeway, 8th Street no longer serves as a major street or through street connecting West Oakland and Downtown—this role is now served by 7th Street; and
WHEREAS, changing the functional classification of the roadway to a local street will support additional changes to enhance safety. These subsequent changes - including traffic calming and a lower speed limit - are being coordinated through the 8th Street West Oakland Traffic Calming Project; now therefore be it 2646873v1-2021
RESOLVED: That that the City Council does hereby approve the submittal of a Functional Classification Change for local streets and roads to the State of California, Department of Transportation to change 8th Street from Wood Street to Market Street from a Minor Arterial to a Local Street.
