Are these design considerations important to you?

They shared additional thoughts on the
baseline improvements for both corridors.
“Fully concrete-separated
bike lanes are an absolute
must. Crosswalk
improvements should be at
as many intersections as
possible.”
“Bike lanes must be safe enough that
parents are comfortable with their kids
using them alone.”
“Speed management
throughout San Leandro is
important to me. I would
encourage the city to
invest in tree-lined streets
to discourage speeding.”
“Pedestrian safety should
be number one.”
“California
native plant
landscaping is
important.”

with Option 2.
On both corridors, feedback for Option 1
was enthusiastic, with some concerns
about intersection design and conflicts.
“Looks good from safety and access
standpoint. Needs native plant
landscaping to complete aesthetics
and ecological responsibility.”
“I'd be curious to see what the
intersection treatment is for a
two-way separated bike lane, as
I'm not familiar with best practices
with regard to that type of facility.”
“I would be concerned about drivers
[exiting side streets] not looking
right as I’m commuting home.”
“Hopefully slower speeds means
less car noise to make the local
businesses more enjoyable.”
Feedback for Option 2 was also positive,
but with significant concerns about
parking and space constraints.
“It does not have room for landscaping
which is a key component for shaping the
neighborhood.”
“Would be my preferred design but not
at the sacrifice of street parking
south of the high school. That's a lot to
ask.”
“Smaller buffers make me
feel less safe.”
“This would make cross town
rides much easier and safer.”
For Bancroft, more respondents preferred
Option 1, the two-way bikeway.

Community Support
For both corridors, community input has
identified our focus areas for the full
concept design.
