Parking Inventory and Occupancy—
On-Street Parking
• E. 14th St. has parking on both sides and no bike lanes • Adding protected bike lanes within the existing right of way requires removing parking on one side of the street
• Detailed parking analysis has been completed to
understand parking supply and use
• Current stakeholder outreach activities to understand stakeholder/business issues
East Bay Greenway Phase 1: E14th/Mission Segment 13
On-Street Parking Findings and
Recommendations
• Analysis conducted to date indicates that the east side of E. 14th St. has more on-street spaces than the west side
• Many businesses on both sides of the street have off-street parking areas
• Many portions of E. 14th St. have parking occupancy below 50% • Targeted outreach to businesses without off-street parking to understand parking and loading needs
• Design of parking and loading will continue to be refined during next stages of design

Bus Boarding Islands
Bikeway fully separated from
sidewalk and bus island, limiting
conflict points and bus leapfrogging.
Bicyclists yield/stop when
buses board / alight
Railing protection at grade separation
Source: AC Transit Multimodal Corridor Guidelines
Crosswalk situated behind bus
stop provides access to stop
(may be only access point)
For illustrative purposes only.
Design Issues
• Bus boarding islands are not
recommended where posted
vehicle speeds are over 35 mph.
• The placement and design of bus
boarding islands should consider
paratransit service and ADA
accessibility needs.

Public Outreach Key Findings
• Support for safety improvements-consistent feedback on need to curb speeding on E. 14th St.
• Support for separated bike lanes and protected intersections • Support for additional pedestrian crosswalks on E. 14th St. • Agreement that pedestrian improvements benefit transit users • Consider business deliveries and short term parking needs • Some businesses between 144th and 143rd Ave. have high demand for parking
• Support for more landscape and placemaking—more plazas, widened sidewalks, more lighting
